誦念《六字大明咒》的神奇威力
.
.
有同修問：「誦念《六字大明咒》之後，人生會有什麼改變嗎？」
.
我來給大家講一個掃地僧的故事。廟裡有師徒二人，一天，師父要去遠遊，臨行前對徒弟說：「你要好好照看庭院，記得每天打掃。」徒弟問：「那我該怎麼修煉功課呢？」師父想：這徒弟也不算聰明，教他什麼都記不住，就讓他念最簡單的咒語吧。於是說：「你每天掃地的時候念六字大明咒，掃一下就念一遍。」
.
三年後，師父遠遊歸來，遠遠看到寺廟門口排著很多人，他走過去問怎麼回事？一位女施主告訴他：「這裡有位掃地僧，看病的功夫非常高，我們都是來找他看病的。」師父走進廟裡一看，正是他的傻徒弟在給人治病。
.
等晚上施主都散了，師父好奇地詢問原由，徒弟說：「我也沒什麼特別的修練，就是按照您囑咐的，每天掃地的時候念六字大明咒，我自己也沒什麼特殊的感覺。一天有位施主來上香時頭痛病犯了，我就給他念六字大明咒，一邊念、手一邊像掃地似的在他頭上掃掃，過了一會兒，他頭不痛了。就這樣，漸漸大家都來找我治病了。」師父連連讚歎。
.
六字大明咒是諸佛慈悲和智慧的音聲顯現，蘊藏了宇宙中的大威力、大智慧、大慈悲。至誠持誦，直達觀世音菩薩的本心，可得辯才無礙、清靜智慧和不可思議的法力，生起不退轉的慈悲心。這位掃地僧在持誦時心無旁鶩，無所求、無所執，內心清靜、無雜無染，日久功自深，誠心持誦《六字大明咒》實在是威力無比，奧妙無窮。

The Magical Power from Reciting the Six-Syllable Mantra

Fellow practitioners had asked me, “After reciting the Six-Syllable Mantra, what are the changes to our lives?”

Let me share with you a story about a “sweeping” monk. There were once two disciples in the temple. One day, the master decided to travel afar. Saying to his disciple before he left, “You have to take good care of the courtyard. Remember to clean it every day.” The disciple asked, “How shall I practice my homework?” The master thought, “This disciple is not too smart, and can’t remember much that I teach, so I’ll ask him to recite the simplest mantra”. Thus he said, “When you sweep the floor every day, you read the Six-Syllable Mantra with every swipe.”

Three years later, as the master returned and was approaching, he could see a lot of people queuing in front of the temple, so he asked what the issue was. A female donor told him, “There’s a “sweeping” monk here who is very skilled at curing diseases. We’re all here to consult him.” The master went into the temple to check, and indeed it was his silly disciple who was treating the patients.

At night, after the donors had left, the master curiously asked for the reason. The disciple explained, “I do not have any special practice. I merely followed your instructions: every day when sweeping, I recite the Six-Syllable mantra. Personally, I have no special sensation.” One day, a donor who came to offer incense had a headache attack. I offered him the Six-Syllable mantra, chanting as I “swept” his head, just like the way I sweep the floor. After a while, his head no longer ached. In this way, gradually everyone started coming to me for treatment.” Hearing this, the master praised the disciple unreservedly.

The Six-Syllable Mantra is the manifestation of the wisdom and compassion of all the Buddhas, and contains the great power, great wisdom and great compassion of the universe. Sincere chanting direct us to Guanyin Bodhisattva’s heart, and elevate our faculties; it may enhance our eloquence, sense of serenity, wisdom, capability and boundless capacity. It also inspires the development of an unwavering heart of compassion. The “sweeping” monk was resolute in his chanting practice. He had no desire and no fixation. With a pure heart that is neither disordered nor tainted, the monk attained a deep level of competency over time. The sincere recitation of the Great Six-Syllable Mantra is certainly powerful beyond expectations, with endless wonders for its practitioners.
