佛前點燈,為自己與家人添福加運!
.
在這段新舊交替的日子,大家是否也想把運氣「除舊佈新」一下呢?
讓壞運去、好運來,一起歡喜迎接新的一年!
.
那要如何「佈置」我們的好運呢?我們可以在佛前點燈,誠心祈求來年平安吉祥,照亮自己的同時,也能照亮他人。也可以帶著家人朋友一起來禪堂祈福點燈,讓這一整年光明無限!
.
下面是兩個同修發來的「供燈見證」,給大家參考﹕
.
1.魏冰清,供燈使姪子改頭換面。

我的哥哥因為中風去世,原本經濟寬裕的家庭,因此家道中落。而哥哥的兒子從小就不是很懂事,到處惹事生非,而且還跑去做職業簽賭,因此我很擔憂,但也無能為力。
.
他每個月都習慣買很貴的金紙要我幫他燒,他覺得祖先有收到錢,他就會很好,但我沒這麼做。我跑去請教了禪堂主管,主管建議我可以幫他點燈。原本,我不太相信,畢竟當時他已經25歲了,但我也只能這麼做,祈求菩薩、師父幫忙。
.
有次祭祖時,他跟我們說,他作息比較正常了,現在想存錢做點生意。當時我聽了嚇一跳,這孩子過不正常的生活已經2、3年了,怎麼在短短的時間內改變了呢?原本熬夜發青的臉,現在已經慢慢恢復青春的臉色,我真的很感激菩提的點燈,能幫助這個孩子!
.
2.容棠,供燈喜得孫子。
.
我兒子從哈佛醫學院第一名畢業,也順利地結婚,媳婦也很能幹,所以我都不擔心他們,但遲遲都沒有小孩,我也不敢問。
.
有天,媳婦突然來找我哭訴,她被檢查出她的卵子太老又少,需要做試管嬰兒,結果沒成功流產了,可能是因為宮寒不孕,後來醫生將我媳婦所有的卵子取出,讓她每個月都去試一次。
.
那時在感恩節期間,醫生告訴他們,剩下最後一顆卵子,如果再不成功,就必需要用別人的卵子或子宮了,這對女性是件很痛苦的事情,所以我跟他們說沒有小孩也沒關係。
.
我從來沒為我兒子做過什麼事,所以我就幫他們點了49天的燈。而且是專心點給我媳婦和她的那顆卵子的,並告訴他們點燈的功效,雖然他們不懂中文,但他們相信佛。我也是抱著試試看的心情,結果我兒媳成功懷孕,並且生下健康可愛的小孫子!

Offer light before Buddha for more fortune and luck in 2019!

As we transit into the new year, would you like to “shed the old, and usher in new luck”? Let’s cast out the poor luck to welcome great fortune, auspiciousness and blessings; joyfully welcome 2019!

So how do we “enhance” our good fortune? We can make light offering before the Buddha, sincerely pray for peace and auspiciousness in the following year, and have both our and others’ lives and paths well-illuminated. We can also visit Bodhi Meditation Centers with our family and friends together to pray and make light offering so that everyone enjoys unlimited illumination in 2019!

Below are two testimonials sent by fellow practitioners.

1. Bingqing Wei’s light offering benefits for the nephew.

My brother had passed on due to stroke. As a result, a financially comfortable family had fallen in poor shape. In addition, my brother’s son was not sensible from young, causing trouble everywhere. To make matters worse, he became a professional gambler. I was worried, but there was nothing I could do to help.

Every month, he would buy expensive incense papers and ask that I help him offer it to his ancestors. He felt that he would benefit so long as his ancestors had received the generous offerings. I did not do so however. I consulted a senior at the Bodhi Meditation Center, who suggested that I help him make light offering.
Initially, I was not entirely convinced. After all, he was already 25 years old. Yet it was the only thing I could do – pray to Buddha and Master for help.

During an ancestral offering occasion, he told us that he has a normal lifestyle now and that he was saving to run some business. I was most surprised then, as the child had been living a dysfunctional life for 2-3 years; how could he change in such a short period of time? His prior sullen-looking appearance had gradually changed to that of his youth. I really appreciate Bodhi Meditation’s light offering; it really helped this child!

2. Rongtang’s pleasant grandson surprise after making light offering

My son graduated in first place from Harvard Medical School, and is also happily married. My daughter-in-law is also very capable, so I have no worry for their careers. The only concern is the constant delay to start a family. I did not interfere initially.

One day, my daughter-in-law suddenly came crying to me. She had to try IVF (in-vitro fertilization) after being diagnosed to have aged and had few eggs. However, it was not successful and she had to have an abortion. It could have been be due to her weak uterus constitution. The surgeon then extracted all her eggs so as to conduct the same process monthly.

During Thanksgiving, the doctors informed the couple that they were down to the last egg. If the procedure was not successful, the couple would need to use someone else’s eggs or uterus, which is a painful outcome for women. So I told them that it would not matter if they did not have children.

In December that year, at the last attempt, I decided since I had not done much for them in the past, I would make light offering on the couple’s behalf for 49 days. The light were specifically for my daughter-in-law and her egg. I also explained the merits of light offering to the couple. Whilst they do not understand Chinese, they had faith in the Buddha. I also moderated my expectation in their attempt. Eventually, my daughter-in-law successfully got pregnant and then gave birth to a healthy and lovely little grandson!

第一項任務就是打掃衛生,清掃屋裡屋外的灰塵,拆洗窗簾被褥,清洗杯盤碗碟,「塵」與「陳」同音,因此新春掃塵也有「除陳布新」的寓意。打掃乾淨後,再貼上春聯、福字、年畫、窗花、門神,把家裡家外點綴得紅火鮮亮。

Out with the old and in with the new on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month!

As the saying goes, “24th of the twelfth lunar month is the time to do some spring cleaning around the house.” After offering prayers to the Kitchen God to the eve of the Lunar New Year, every household is busy with all kinds of preparation to welcome the new year.

First on the list is cleaning – dusting both the inside and outside of the house, taking down the curtains and bedsheets for laundry, and washing the cutlery, plates and cups. The Chinese words for “dust” and “old” sound similar, which is why the act of cleaning (clearing of dust) is symbolic of replacing the old things with the new. After the cleaning is complete, out comes the spring couplets, “Fu” word (means good fortune in Chinese), new year paintings, window decorations, images of door gods to be put up. At the end of it, both the inside and outside of the house sparkle with festive decorations.

The second task on the list is the preparation of food. In addition to many different varieties of delicious dishes, there are also special festive food such as nian gao(also known as New Year’s cake) and the flower buns. The white nian gao made from glutinous rice and its yellow version made from millet represent silver and gold respectively. It symbolizes the wishes of the people to be blessed with more riches in the coming year. Making the steamed flower buns, on the other hand, is an opportunity for the housewives to show off their skills. The buns in the shapes of different animals and flowers bring out the festive spirit during the reunion dinner.

Other than cleaning our living accommodation, shouldn’t we also clean our minds? Let us reflect on the mistakes that we have made and the bad habits that we have formed in the past year. Think about who we have fallen out with – give them a call or send them a simple text message. Whatever you have quarreled about, let it be water under the bridge. In the new year, as we are one year older, let us also be one year wiser. We ought to gain in maturity and be better able to handle things and events around us.

Think about who we have fallen out with – give them a call or send them a simple text message. Whatever you have quarreled about, let it be water under the bridge. In the new year, as we are one year older, let us also be one year wiser. We ought to gain in maturity and be better able to handle things and events around us.

#TwentyFourthOfTwelfthLunarMonth, #ReplaceOldWithNew, #DustingAndCleaning

臘二十四,除舊迎新歲!
.
俗話說「臘月二十四,除塵掃房子。」祭祀灶王爺之後、到除夕之前的這幾天,家家忙活張羅做各種迎接新年的準備。
.
第一項任務就是打掃衛生,清掃屋裡屋外的灰塵,拆洗窗簾被褥,清洗杯盤碗碟,「塵」與「陳」同音,因此新春掃塵也有「除陳布新」的寓意。打掃乾淨後,再貼上春聯、福字、年畫、窗花、門神,把家裡家外點綴得紅火鮮亮。
.
第二項任務準備美食。除了各種佳餚美味,年糕和花饃是此時餐桌上最應景的,糯米製成的白年糕、黃米製成的黃年糕,分別代表白銀和黃金,希望「財富年年高」;蒸花饃是展示家庭主婦靈巧手藝的機會,把饅頭做成動物、花朵等吉祥物造型,為團圓飯增添一抹喜慶。
.
除了居室環境的清潔,我們的內心是不是也要掃一掃呢?
.
想想今年犯過哪些錯誤?有哪個毛病需要修正?和誰有小矛盾?打個電話、發個短信,就此揮別過去。
.
新年要有新氣象,不能虛長一歲,人也要更成熟、處事更加圓滿。

#臘二十四、#除陳布新、#掃塵
 
Out with the old and in with the new on the 24th of the twelfth lunar month!
 
As the saying goes, “24th of the twelfth lunar month is the time to do some spring cleaning around the house.” After offering prayers to the Kitchen God to the eve of the Lunar New Year, every household is busy with all kinds of preparation to welcome the new year. 
 
First on the list is cleaning – dusting both the inside and outside of the house, taking down the curtains and bedsheets for laundry, and washing the cutlery, plates and cups. The Chinese words for “dust” and “old” sound similar, which is why the act of cleaning (clearing of dust) is symbolic of replacing the old things with the new. After the cleaning is complete, out comes the spring couplets, “Fu” word (means good fortune in Chinese), new year paintings, window decorations, images of door gods to be put up. At the end of it, both the inside and outside of the house sparkle with festive decorations. 

The second task on the list is the preparation of food. In addition to many different varieties of delicious dishes, there are also special festive food such as nian gao(also known as New Year’s cake) and the flower buns. The white nian gao made from glutinous rice and its yellow version made from millet represent silver and gold respectively. It symbolizes the wishes of the people to be blessed with more riches in the coming year. Making the steamed flower buns, on the other hand, is an opportunity for the housewives to show off their skills. The buns in the shapes of different animals and flowers bring out the festive spirit during the reunion dinner.
