佛前供燈，喜得孫子。
.
「點燈能滅千年闇，積聚無量無窮盡。」
.
「燈」是光明與智慧的表徵，因此在佛前點燈，是藉著佛的智慧光明，照破我們的無明，使我們不再愚痴和煩惱。佛前點燈對於我們的現世利益，還能有什麼樣的幫助呢？
.
讓我們一起來聽聽「容棠」點燈神奇的故事吧！

大家好，我是容棠，來自於舊金山.白蓮禪堂。
.
我的兒子很優秀，從哈佛醫學院第一名畢業，大學還沒有畢業就在很好的醫院裡做醫生，同時也很順利地結了婚，媳婦也很能幹，卻遲遲沒有小孩，我不敢問，也不知道他們什麼原因。
.
有一天兒媳突然對著我哭，兒媳告訴我，醫生判定她的卵子太老又很少，所以，即使使用試管嬰兒也未必能順利受孕。
.
說來很好笑，我兒子是全世界200 名以內的名醫生，在他手上接生過無數個嬰兒，幫了很多人生小孩，夫妻感情非常好，可是就是沒有小孩，他們也嘗試去買卵子做試管嬰兒，價錢非常高，從1萬美金到5萬美金不等，付出這麼高的價錢還不保證能成功，他們嘗試了，結果失敗了，他們最希望的就是自己的卵子能配成功。
.
最後，醫生將我兒媳所有卵子全取出來，每個月重覆的嘗試配對。去年感恩節期間 醫生告訴他們這是最後一顆卵子，如果這次再不成功，就必需借用別人的卵子，或別人的子宮了， 這對女人來說是非常痛苦的一件事。
.
去年的十二月，也就是準備將最後一顆卵子進行配對的時候，我想：「兒子能幹，又會讀書，我從來沒有為兒子做過什麼事，我看我這次就為他們點個燈吧，也許能帶來一現光明和希望！」

他們夫妻聖誕節來看我，而我送給他們聖誕節的禮物是，「菩提點燈」，我為我的媳婦及她肚子裡那顆卵子點了49天的燈，沒想到最後一顆卵子成功「中奬了」！
兒媳成功懷孕，今年孫子生出來了，很健康，很可愛，很聰明！

菩提供燈效果真的神奇有效，我非常地感恩，這份得來不易的緣分。

願..給與也希望改變自己生命、重獲光明的人們，不妨也來嘗試菩提供燈吧。

Offer light before Buddha and be blessed with a grandson.

“Light offering eliminates the dark and accumulates great merits.”

Light represents illumination and wisdom. Hence through making light offering, may the Buddha’s bright wisdom shine upon our ignorance self so that we are no longer ignorance and troubled anymore. What other benefits does light offering brings us?

Let’s listen to Rongtang’s story of light offering!
———————————————————————–
Hello everyone, I am Rongtang from Bailian Bodhi Meditation Center, San Francisco

I have an excellent son who graduated from Harvard Medical School and started his career as a doctor in a good hospital. He got married to a competent woman. However, the couple did not have a child for quite a long time. I didn’t dare to ask the reasons.

One day my daughter-in-law cried telling me that the doctor diagnosed that her eggs were too old and few, so even artificial fertilization might not help her conceive.

Ironically, my son is one of the top 200 doctors in the world and had helped many couples deliver countless babies. The relationship between him and his wife is good, but they have no children. They even tried buying eggs for IVF (in vitro fertilization) to conceive. The cost is high ranging from USD$10,000 to USD$50,000 and yet there is no guarantee of success. They tried, but it was not successful. What they really hoped for was to conceive using their own egg and sperm.

Finally, the doctor took all the eggs out of my daughter-in-law and tried to fertilize them on a monthly basis. Last Thanksgiving, the doctor told them there was only one last egg left. If the fertilization failed, they would have to use other people’s eggs and womb to have a baby. This is very painful emotionally for a woman.

Last December, when they were trying IVF on the last egg, I thought to myself, “My son is outstanding and studied well. I never had to do anything for him. I think I should make a light offering for him and his wife and hope the light can bring some hope!”

The couple visited me on Christmas and my gift for them was a 49-days light offering I made for his wife and her egg. It turned out that the egg was successfully fertilized!
My daughter-in-law became pregnant and this year, my grandson was born. The baby is healthy, adorable and smart!
Making light offering at Bodhi really works wonder and is effective. I am so grateful for this destiny that is hard to come by.
I truly hope those who want to make a change to their life and gain illumination can try making light offering before the Buddha.
