【預錄直播】原諒的作用
【Pre-recorded Live Broadcast Notice】
The Effect of Forgiveness
英國聖安德魯斯大學研究結果顯示：當人們做出「原諒」的決定後，
大腦會啟動遺忘機制，讓人們忘記那些曾對自己造成的痛苦記憶。
.
「原諒」能有效幫助人們，在心理上和身體上獲得解脫。
將心打開，學會「感恩與原諒」讓我們每個細胞都充滿光明、慈悲；
讓慈悲和生命融合在一起，願大家都能獲得解脫與幸福。

菩提禅修青年营后, 大儿子会主动沟通, 小儿子成绩突飞猛进 My eldest son started to communicate with me and my younger son academic result improved tremendously after they join Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp.
– 石美蓉的故事 Story of Mother Chok Bee Yoong
▹ 青年营让小儿子潘泇缣学习成绩突飞猛进
小儿子潘泇缣从小学一直到初中，每次考试最多只能拿一个A。2017年12月他参加了菩提禅修青年营后，他的学习成绩突飞猛进。2018年9月考试竟然拿到了全A，而且全年级只有他拿到了全A。名次由年级的70、80名，进步到全年级前4名。
▹ 青年营让大儿子潘泇豪变得主动拥抱我
大儿子潘泇豪很少跟我们沟通，更拒绝我们的拥抱。不仅不跟我们主动讲话，连他弟弟每次问他问题时，他都会很不耐烦。而且他每次出去就像失踪了一样，从不打电话报平安。
2018年6月他参加菩提禅修青年营后，每次出门都会通过电话给我们报平安；还会经常主动找我们聊天；跟他弟弟经常有说有笑，关系越来越亲密了；更让我惊讶的是，他竟然会主动跟我们拥抱。
我很感恩金菩提宗師，让我的两个孩子有这么大的变化，期望禅师每一年都举办青年营，能够帮助更多的孩子和家庭。
▹ Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp improved my younger son’s academic results
Since primary school, the best result my youngest son has achieved is only one A. After he joined the Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp in December 2017, his results skyrocketed. During his exams in September 2018, he scored all As. He was the only student in his grade to get all As. His grade ranking improved from the 70th-80th to the 4th position.
▹ Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp Made Eldest Son take the Initiative to Hug Me and communicate
My eldest son Fung Jia Jun rarely talks to us. He avoids our hugs even more. Not only does he avoid talking to us, he gets impatient when his younger brother asks him questions. Every time he leaves the house, it’s as if he disappears. He would not leave us text messages.
Since joining Bodhi Meditation Youth Camp in June 2018, he started leaving us texts when he goes out. He started initiating conversations with us. He talked and joked around with his younger brother, their relationship improved. What surprised me even more was he took the initiative to give us a hug.
I am very grateful for Grandmaster JinBodhi that my son improved so much. I hope Grandmaster JinBodhi will organize Youth Camps every year so that more children and families will benefit from it.

與青年人聊天 (之三)
.
讓我們繼續一起來聊聊，青年人常見的問題：如何提振工作的動力?
.
問題：「師父好，面對公司與工作沒有歸屬感、沒有上進的動力。但是迫於生計還得繼續做，我應該怎樣調整自己的心態呢？」
.
答：「對於我來說，所有經歷的事情，無論當時覺得好還是不好、喜悅還是痛苦，乃至無聊！我發現它們，都是人生中最重要的營養，所以你應該去做好它。」
.
譬如說，我的目的是登上泰山，但是在登山的途中，路過一個很髒的橋。那麼就不應該用憤怒和排斥的心面對，要用「感激」的心來看待它。因為它幫助我從此岸渡到彼岸，讓我登上泰山，是它送了我一程。
.
我們在漫長的工作之中，不要有煎熬的心理，應該有學習的心理，應該去接受、感恩。工作就好比是這座破爛的橋，我們用恭敬、感恩的心面對這座橋，你會發現它的美好與優點。
.
在工作之中，會感覺受到煎熬，是自己的「心」讓每一刻都煎熬，是自己製造的。如果用喜悅和感恩的心面對， 所有的挫折都會讓你成長，成為生命的佐料：苦、辣、酸、甜。對你的未來而言，就像一幅美麗的人生圖案，它是其中的一個色彩。
.
在一幅美麗的圖畫中，墨色濃淡都有其合適的位置，少了哪一筆，這幅畫都不是完美的。
.
所以，在接受每個歷程的時候，都應該用真實的、感恩的心恭敬這個世界。
.
別小看你的老闆，也別小看你的主管，他們可能某方面的能力比你高多了。雖然你在這裡一邊拿著人家的錢，幹著這個活，還一邊痛苦著。但是想想如果真沒人雇你幹活了，你才真的痛苦。
.
⭐請記住這句話：
「做好你的工作，真誠之中生黃金！」⭐

Chat with the youths (Part 3)
Let us continue our chat session. Another question that I get frequently from youths is: How do I boost my motivation at work?
Question: “I don’t have a sense of belonging at my workplace. Neither do I have the motivation to improve myself. To make ends meet, I have no choice but to continue in this job. How do I change my mentality to one that is more positive?”
My reply: “I choose to regard everything that happens to me as important nutrients that help to nourish my life. Regardless of whether they bring happiness or sorrow, whether they are good or bad, I will resolve to do my best, even if it is a task that seems totally meaningless at that point in time.”
Take the example of climbing Mount Taishan. On the way to the peak, you come across a dirty bridge. Instead of regarding the bridge with disdain and anger, you should be grateful to it. Its existence allows you to cross from one end to the other and ultimately helps you to reach the peak of the mountain.
Similarly, when we are putting in long hours at work, we should not take it as an ordeal and feel tormented by it. Instead we ought to accept it, view it as a learning opportunity and be grateful for it. Our job is like the dirty bridge in the mountain – we ought to treat it with respect and gratitude. Only then will we see its beauty and merits.
Whenever you feel tormented at work, understand that it is your “heart” and your mentality that is causing the torment. You are the cause of your own ordeal. If you choose to face it with a thankful and joyous heart, all the obstacles that you encounter become catalysts for your growth. You will realize that these obstacles are the seasoning that add flavors to your life: flavors of bitterness, spiciness, sourness and sweetness.
Every obstacle that you overcome is like a color on the palette that eventually makes up the masterpiece of your future. In a beautiful painting, every color has its own place on the canvas. The lack of any color will render the painting imperfect.
Hence, no matter what experience we are going through, we should treat the world with a sincere, thankful and respectful heart.
Don’t look down on your boss or your supervisor. They may be a lot stronger than you in certain areas. Rather than feel tormented while performing the job that you are being paid to do, think of how much worse you will feel if you do not have a job.
Keep this phrase in mind: “Those who do their jobs well and with sincerity will be rewarded eventually.”

與青年人聊天 (之二)

青年朋友最常遇見的問題還有「面對未來的茫然」…
.
問：「師父好，我未來要在哪個領域發展，才能夠最大地實現人生價值？不讓人生白白虛度？」
.
我的回答：「就看自己期望的目標。」
.
我看了國內一個相親的節目，有個從哈佛畢業的年輕人來參加，節目中好幾個姑娘都想跟著他走，他問了眾姑娘一個問題：「如果妳突然發大財，比如買彩票中了一千萬，會怎麼辦？」姑娘們有的回答說：「出國旅遊，去趟義大利、買很多名牌包包鞋子、也有的說給我媽買個房子。。。」
.
最後年輕人誰都沒選。
.
主持人問年輕人：「為何你不願意選擇？原因是什麼呢？」
.
他說：「我期望能有姑娘回答，要把這些錢全部捐給社會上最需要的人群。我們是社會中最高級的人才，應該去服務社會、創造社會、改變社會。」這是哈佛學生都必然有的使命感。
.
⭐一個最低級的人，只想改變自己的生活狀態；一個高級的人，哪怕此刻並不高級，但是你心中的高度，決定了你生命的高度。⭐
.
我還遇過加拿大的一位女孩， 女孩頭腦特別靈活，儘管她並沒有上過世界一流的學校。她在溫哥華的大學畢業之後，第一份工作做了兩年。兩年之後，她朋友的母親在非洲一個很貧窮的國家做救援的工作。給她介紹那地方：那裡的生活很苦，水都吃不上，很多河溝就是大家涉水過河，有些地方還有鱷魚，過著特別原始的生活，很缺技術和錢。
.
女孩聽完就發出願望：想用她的一技之長去援助非洲。
她學的是造橋，是建築專業的設計師。她說：「我要為非洲人造橋，如果三年能適應，以後就待一輩子。」
.
她和同學商量：「我在非洲設計和監工，妳到加拿大和美國去籌錢，讓大家捐款，咱們就在那裡修路鋪橋。」這倆小女孩才二十多歲。我也沒想到幾年前我見過的那個傻傻的、像個醜小鴨似的小女孩，突然間發出這麼個願望來。其實，我心裡覺得非常地讚美。
.
⭐⭐⭐所以，人生如何不虛度呢？
.
當一個人有了宏觀的、偉大、去幫助社會的心胸志願。你的能力將會有多大呢！僅僅是養家糊口的能力嗎？其實，已經遠遠地超過了！
.
這個女孩將來要想成立一個集團公司，我相信很簡單，因為她已經習慣於做大事了。她的思維已經超越自我，是社會型的、國際型的、世界型的。所以我們也應該有這樣的愛心，為社會去做一些事情。
.
年輕人們！！
只要你能聽懂我講話，只要你樂意讓自己的人生更精彩、更有能力、有魅力，你就去服務於這個社會。也許萬事起頭難，難在不懂、恐懼、害怕。但只要你聽懂了，開始向那個方向去努力了，離成功就不遠了。

Chat with the youths (Part 2)
One predominant problem faced by youngsters: a sense of loss about their future…
Question: “Hi Master, in the near future, which area should I develop myself so as to create the greatest value? To make a difference so as not to waste my life.”
My reply: “That will depend on your goals and priorities in life.”
Recently, I watched a matchmaking television program from China. In the show, a Harvard graduate participated in the program. A few young ladies were eager to be match make with him. However, he posed them a question: “If you suddenly strike lottery and win ten million dollars, what will you do with the money?” Some of the replies by the young ladies: “Go traveling, visit Italy, but lots of branded bags and shoes, or buy a house for my mother…”
In the end, the young man did not choose anyone.
The program host interviewed the young man: “Why did you not choose any of the young ladies here?”
He replied: “I was hoping to hear a reply from one of them that she would donate the sum of money to help the less fortunate in the society. As Harvard graduates, we are the cream of the crop in the society. Hence, it is our mission to serve, create or even transform society.”
⭐Generally, lower class people are only interested in transforming their own lives. On the contrary, people who belong to the upper class, though they may not be very rich or earning a lot at the current moment, have great aspirations. Hence, our aspiration determines how far we will go in life. ⭐
I also met a Canadian young lady. She was very bright and intelligent although she was not from any top university. After she graduated from a University in Canada, she stayed two years in her first job. Two years later, she was introduced to her friend’s mother who was helping the poor in Africa. From her friend’s mother, the young lady got to know: Life was hard in Africa. Even getting clean water was difficult. People there needed to cross streams by foot. Some parts of the streams even had crocodiles. The people there led primitive lives since the country lacked technology and money.
After listening to this, the young lady made a vow: she wanted to use her skills to help the people in Africa. She knew how to build bridges as she was an architect. She said: “I want to build bridges for the Africans. If I can get used to the life there within 3 years, I will stay there my entire life.”
She discussed with her classmate: “I will go to Africa to design, build and supervise the building of bridges. You will try to get monetary donations at Canada and America. Let’s build roads and bridges in Africa.” These 2 young ladies were in their early twenties. Never in my wildest dream did I expect that the silly “ugly duckling”” whom I had seen a few years ago would suddenly made such a great vow. In reality, I praised her from the bottom of my heart.
⭐⭐⭐So, how do you create value out of your life?
Once a person had such a great aspiration to help society, how great is her capability? Only capable enough to earn money to support her family? In fact, her capability is far greater than that!
I believe that it would be an easy task for this girl even if she wanted to start an international enterprise in future. Because she is used to performing great tasks, her intellect had gone beyond herself, her thinking would be from a societal, international and global perspective. Hence, we should aspire to have a caring heart to achieve something for the society.
To the youths out there!!
If you understand what I am saying, if you are willing to let your life become more interesting and wants to be more capable and charismatic, you should aspire to serve the society. Perhaps it would be difficult during the initial stages, you may be overwhelmed by fear. However, once you understand and start to work hard in the right direction, success is not far!

Let’s build roads and bridges in Africa.” These 2 young ladies were in their early twenties. Never in my wildest dream did I expect that the silly “ugly duckling”” whom I had seen a few years ago would suddenly made such a great vow. In reality, I praised her from the bottom of my heart.
⭐⭐⭐So, how do you create value out of your life?
Once a person had such a great aspiration to help society, how great is her capability? Only capable enough to earn money to support her family? In fact, her capability is far greater than that!
I believe that it would be an easy task for this girl even if she wanted to start an international enterprise in future. Because she is used to performing great tasks, her intellect had gone beyond herself, her thinking would be from a societal, international and global perspective. Hence, we should aspire to have a caring heart to achieve something for the society.
To the youths out there!!
If you understand what I am saying, if you are willing to let your life become more interesting and wants to be more capable and charismatic, you should aspire to serve the society. Perhaps it would be difficult during the initial stages, you may be overwhelmed by fear. However, once you understand and start to work hard in the right direction, success is not far!
