一念善心萬福来
.
一個人的心念究竟有多大的力量呢？
我來說個貧女供燈的故事給大家聽聽！
.
佛在舍衛國祗樹給孤獨園時，有一個貧窮的女人，名叫「難陀」，以乞討為生。
.
難陀經常想：「因我前世罪業深重，今生才遭致貧賤的果報，雖然遇到了佛，卻沒有能力可供養。」難陀不覺悲上心頭，自責悔恨不已。
.
這天 ，難陀好不容易乞討到了一文錢，她太開心了，馬上拿著一文錢到香油店，想買一盞油燈供養佛陀，祈求佛陀能助她脫離貧苦的命運。
.
當難陀拿著一文錢到香油店，卻發現一文錢根本買不起一盞油燈！難陀千般祈求，好不容易感動香油店老闆，給了她雙倍的油，使她可以足夠點燃一盞燈供養佛陀。
.
難陀雙手捧著油燈，恭恭敬敬地來到精舍，將油燈供養給佛陀。
.
並且發願：「我今貧窮，是因為前世不懂培植福田，今生除了這盞油燈，我沒有什麼可供養佛的。但我希望能藉這一盞油燈，供養佛陀的功德，助我脫離貧病苦痛的悲慘命運，將來還能夠幫助眾生脫離無明與黑暗，引導他們走向覺悟。」
.
隔天，阿難尊者要來殿中收拾燈，發現所有的燈都熄了，只有貧女所供養的燈還在燃燒著，而且燈油和燈芯都沒有絲毫減損，宛若新點燃的一樣，他想將火熄滅，卻發現怎麼也無法熄滅它。
.
這時，佛陀開口說道：「這盞油燈不是你能熄滅的，就算你使用廣大神通力，運四大海水來也澆不熄它，因為這是發大菩提心之人所布施的燈啊。」
.
佛陀說完此話，正好難陀再次來禮拜佛陀。佛陀便對她說：「你將於來世二阿僧祗劫，得以成佛，佛號為燈光。」
.
看完貧女的故事，大家是否有所領悟呢？
祝福大家都能獲得無上福報，永遠吉祥、光明！

#金菩提禪語、#一念善心萬福來、#好運秘訣
A thought of benevolence brings bountiful blessings
Just how powerful is a person’s thought?
Let me share with you a story about a poor woman who made a light offering!
When Buddha was giving Dharma talks at Savatthi, there was a poor woman named Nanda who eked out a living by begging.
Nanda often thought, “Due to the seeds of grave wrongdoings in the past, I am denigrated to a life of poverty and lowliness in this lifetime as they bore fruit. While I have the karmic connection to meet with the Buddha, I could not afford to offer anything to venerate the Buddha”. Nanda was inconsolably sad, as remorse weighed heavily on her destitute predicament.
On a fateful day, Nanda managed to receive a little penny after much difficulty. Elated, she immediately took the penny to the oil shop. She wanted to buy an oil lamp to venerate the Buddha, and seek the Buddha’s guidance out of her current predicament.
When Nanda took the penny to the oil shop, she realized that a penny simply could not afford an oil lamp! Following, she implored incessantly with the shopowner. Only after tremendous efforts did he agree to let her have double the amount of oil so that she can offer a full oil lamp to venerate the Buddha.
With the oil lamp in both hands, Nanda respectfully visited the Buddha’s sanctuary to offer the oil lamp before the Buddha.
She also made a great vow, “I am poor today because I did not know how to cultivate my merit field in my past life. I have nothing to offer before the Buddha except for this oil lamp. But I earnestly pray with this lamp before the Buddha, that with his perfect virtues, he can guide me out of this tragic fate of poverty, illness, pain and suffering, and in future, (may I) be able to guide all sentient beings away from ignorance and darkness, towards realization.
The next day, when Venerable Ananda entered the prayer hall for regular maintenance, he found that all the oil lamps had burned out; only the poor woman’s lamp continued to burn; in fact, her oil lamp and its wick had not the slightest sign of burning out, as if it had been newly-lit. He wanted to extinguish the fire, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he just could not do it.
Upon this sight, the Buddha explained, “This oil lamp is not one that you can extinguish, even if you use vast spiritual powers, or the waters from the four great seas, because it is offered by a devotee with immense Bodhichitta”.
Just as the Buddha had finished his sentence, Nanda entered the hall to venerate the Buddha once again. The Buddha said to her, “You will in two great asamkhyeyas eons attain Buddhahood and will be known as the Light Buddha”
After reading the story of the poor woman, don’t we feel more enlightened and inspired?
I hope that everyone’s wishes be fulfilled, and may all be filled with all-round happiness!

我來自於溫哥華，我叫Robert，法名:備帆
.
我是一名冰球運動員，打球時非常需要專注，但是專注力卻是我的弱項。在冰上比賽時，我經常會受到各種聲音的影響，比如隊友的呼叫聲、對方的攻擊聲、觀眾的呼喊聲等，使我很難集中注意力打好比賽。
.
參加了 4次菩提禪修青年營，我最大的收穫是：「禪修」幫我提升了專注力。
.
在青年營裡，我遇到一些同齡的朋友，他們在通過「禪修」後所表現的專注力，讓我有了想嘗試看看的動力。
.
的確在「禪修」後，我的專注力明顯提升，不僅在打冰球時表現變好，而且還能在打球時加一些自己的創意。專注力的提升，對我的未來也很有幫助，它讓我能認真地思考，明白以後要走哪一條路。

I am Robert from Vancouver, Canada, and my dharma name is Bei-fan.
I am an ice hockey player. The sport requires a high level of concentration which unfortunately happens to be my weakness. During competitions, I am easily distracted by the sounds around me, such as the calls of team mates, the sounds of attack created by the opposing team and the cheers of the spectators. All these noises made it very difficult for me to focus on my game.
I have joined the Bodhi Meditation youth camp 4 times. The biggest benefit that I gained from practicing meditation is a vast improvement in my concentration level.
At the camps, I made new friends in my age group. Their stories of how meditation improved their levels of focus gave me the motivation to try.
What I discovered was that meditation does help to make it easier for me to focus. Not only do I perform better in ice hockey, I also become more creative in my game. My improved level of concentration is also helpful for my future – my thinking has become clear and logical. I could clearly understand which path I should take that is best for my future.
