二〇一二年,我在媽媽的介紹下,參加了菩提禪堂的健身班。同年,我繼續參加了七月份的菩提禪修念佛班。在念佛當中,很多時候我都會莫名其妙地哭起來。我自己也不懂為什麼?
.
後來我才發現,其實我的心裡還有些事情放不下,我的父母親在我小學的時候就離婚了,我對爸爸一直心存恨意。另外,我對媽媽也是心存愧疚。因為青春期的叛逆,我經常惹母親生氣,導致她的身體不太好。七天的念佛班結束之後,我感到自己的心一下子輕鬆了,心胸開闊了很多。現在我可以用積極、正面的態度去孝順他們。
.
二〇一二年九月,我參加了二級提升班。這個課程使我有了重生般的感覺。首先是身體的變化。身體變得比以前更有精力了,不像以前那麼容易疲勞。
.
最大的收穫還是心靈和能力上的提升。以前,我的想法總是圍繞著自己的小圈子,自我感覺良好,聽了金菩提宗師的授課,我才覺得慈悲心、寬容心更重要。原來在這個世上還有很多人在受著苦難,原來我們還可以通過修行,獲得幫助他人的能力,幫助他人脫離疾病、走出痛苦。
.
二級班結業後,我深刻地感受到幫助他人後,發自內心無法形容的快樂。
.
當我們的心慈悲了,就會發現整個世界都改變了。我們看事情的態度,也變得正向陽光了,也更容易理解和寬容別人。

The world can actually be a beautiful place!

Let us listen to a testimonial sharing by Rong-tian from the Los Angeles Bodhi Meditation Centre…
———————————————————————
Under the introduction of my mother, I participated in the Bodhi Meditation Level 1 retreat in 2012. Later that year, I participated in the Bodh Meditation Chanting class conducted in July. While chanting, there were many times where I would cry inexplicably, making me perplexed as I did not understand the reason for doing so.
.
It was later that I realized that my tears were in fact a form of release of years of suppressed negative emotions. My parents divorced when I was in elementary school and since then, I developed feelings of hatred towards my father. In addition, I felt guilty for my rebellious behavior during my adolescent years. My actions often angered my mother and made her unwell. After seven days of chanting, I felt that my heart gradually relaxing, opening, expanding and becoming more broad-minded. Now, I adopt a positive and optimistic attitude towards life and have became more filial to my parents.
.
In September 2012, I participated in the Level 2 retreat. I felt like I was given a new lease of life. There were some significant changes in my mental and physical health. Firstly, my body became a lot more energetic and I am no longer as tired and lethargic as before.
.
The largest breakthrough that I gained from the retreat was in the form of mental and spiritual improvements. In the past, my thoughts were always centered around myself and my immediate circle of friends and family. After listening to the teachings of Master Jin, I felt that values such as compassion and tolerance were more important and I became more proactive in helping others. Many people in the world are suffering and through persistent meditation practice, we can develop the ability to help others and rid them of sickness and suffering.
.
After completing the Second Level retreat, I felt an indescribable and profound sense of joy after helping others.
.
When our hearts are compassionate, we will notice that our perspective of the world has changed. When we look at things, our attitudes have also become more positive and it is easier to understand and tolerate others.

「一個讓人驚訝的實驗」 . . 在網路上…
「一個讓人驚訝的實驗」
.
.
在網路上,我看過這麼一個實驗:
有一個科學家,把一條大魚放進有許多小魚的池裡,大魚餓了就遊上去抓小魚吃。
過了一段時間,科學家就用一個透明的玻璃瓶把大魚罩起來,再重新放進有很多魚的池子裡。開始,大魚看到小魚就馬上衝上去咬,「咚」的一聲,沒想到卻一頭撞上玻璃瓶,眼前的美食能看卻不能吃,加上肚子又餓,牠非常著急,大魚連續衝撞玻璃瓶,撞得滿頭包,都沒有吃到小魚,牠的體力漸漸的耗盡了,大魚掠食者的角度也不再雄姿萬丈,雖然牠肚子很餓,但是牠每次想吃魚,就會撞得頭破血流,慢慢的,大魚的衝撞越來越少……….
.
最後,牠完全絕望了,牠放棄了捕食小魚的所有努力。
.
後來,科學家把套在大魚身上的玻璃瓶取下,備受打擊的大魚沉到了池底,一動也不動了。無論有多少條小魚在牠的身邊,甚至嘴邊游來遊去,牠都不會再想張張嘴。最後,這條大魚就這麼給活活餓死了。
.
是什麼最讓人失望、放棄?
.
聽完這個故事,也許你會說:「師父,這條大魚真是笨啊!」
可是你們想想,大魚原來是個捕魚高手啊,可是,在牠無數次的衝撞碰壁之後,在那個隱形的壁壘面前一次次失敗之後,牠開始懷疑自己原有的捕魚能力,最後徹底絕望,完全放棄自己。
.
轉給我這個故事的同修還跟我說:有一種精神上的疾病,叫做「習慣性愚蠢」。
就是說孩子在學習的過程中,會因為某些原因,比如說交不到朋友、考試考不好、或老是被罵「笨」。在孩子的大腦中 ,就會逐漸產生對自我學習的懷疑,並且喪失信心,而表現出的學習障礙。因為當孩子放棄了自己,就真的變得「越來越笨」,還可能因此交上壞朋友走上歪路。
.
所以,如果整天處於這樣的負面暗示裡,孩子就會完全相信自己「真的很笨」?!
.
「為了孩子光明的未來,請給予孩子更多正面、積極的鼓勵吧!」
.
我給父母以下的建議:
1. 多給孩子正面暗示,多觀察孩子的長處。
2. 多給孩子鼓勵,並營造一個正面、積極向上的語言環境。
3. 營造一個光明健康的心理環境,能夠正確認識失敗。
.
避免:
1. 情緒失控,無法冷靜。
2. 孩子不聽,直接開罵。
3. 一有問題,爸媽總是唸不停。
.
多給孩子正面暗示與鼓勵,給予雙方積極向上的語言環境去溝通。讓孩子的身心都處於光明、健康的環境裡成長、才能幫助孩子變得自信、聰明,而且更有智慧。

An amazing experiment
.
I’ve come across this experiment on the internet:
A scientist placed a big fish into a pond with many small fishes. The big fish would swim up to catch the small fishes to eat when hungry. After a while, the scientist put the big fish in a transparent glass jar and place it back into the pond with lots of fishes. Initially, the big fish came up to bite as soon as it saw the little fishes. “Boom!”, it unexpectedly hit the glass jar. Seeing food before itself yet unable to eat, and with the increasing hunger, it became very anxious. It then continuously knocked at the glass jar until its head was full of bumps. However, it still could not eat at the small fishes. As its physical strength gradually runs out, the big fish lost its prior predatory confidence. Despite being hungry, every time it wanted to eat the fishes, it would get badly bruised. Gradually, the knocks became less..
.
Eventually, it lost all hopes of catching the small fishes for food, and gave up all efforts to do so.
.
Subsequently, the scientist took out the glass jar that was hindering the big fish. The big fish that had suffered several setbacks simply sank to the bottom of the pond and did not move. No matter how many small fishes swam by its side, even near his mouth, it would not open his mouth. The big fish finally starved to death.
.
What is it that is most disappointing and causes one to give up?
.
After listening to this story, perhaps you will say, “Master, this big fish is really stupid!”
Yet, do consider that the big fish was originally a fishing expert. Yet, after countless times of colliding with the invisible jar, in the face of the series of failures, it began to doubt its original fishing ability, eventually succumbing to total despair, and then completely giving up on itself.
.
The fellow practitioner who shared this story even suggested that there is a mental illness known as “habitual stupidity”. In the process of learning, for some reasons, some children for example, are not able to make new friends, have poor tests’ results, or are always being scolded “stupid”. In such children’s minds, there is a gradual emergence of self-doubt and loss of confidence, becoming a learning disability. As the children gave up on themselves, they may actually become “more and more stupid”, and may also be misled by bad company and be wayward.
.
Thus, a child who is subject to such negative cues all day may eventually be led to completely believe that he is “indeed stupid”!
.
“For our children’s bright future, please give them more positive and active encouragement!”
.
May I suggest the following advice to parents:
1. Provide more positive cues to children, and observe their strengths.
2. Encourage children, and create an environment of positive and active engagement.
3. Create a bright and healthy psychological environment, one that allows for correct understanding of the reasons for setbacks.
.
Avoid:
1. Situations where parents have poor emotional control, or are unable to remain calm.
2. Immediate scolding when the children do not obey.
3. Whenever there is a problem, parents always nag repeatedly.
.
Provide children with positive cues and encouragement, set the stage for both sides to enjoy a healthy environment for positive language and communication. Let the child’s body and mind nurture in a bright, healthy environment, so as to help children gain confidence, intelligence, and wisdom.

When practicing The Meditation of Greater Illumination (GI), what do we do if our body sways?
During our practice, it is normal to encounter various inexplicable situations… Unfortunately, some people choose to stop their practice when this happens due to fear.
While having a skeptical mind is good, we must remember not to be afraid and stop our practice when we encounter obstacles. Rather, we should persevere to overcome them bravely!!
Even if you have experienced a relatively smooth practice process, it is also beneficial for you to understand more about the situations and obstacles others face so that you can help yourself or others when the need arises.
May all continue to be diligent in your practice and enjoy a healthy and happy life!

【善用萬物_提升自我】
.
在西方神話中有一種神鳥叫「鳳凰」,雄為鳳、雌為凰,又被稱為火鳥、或不死鳥。傳說天方國的鳳凰,每500年就會集香木自焚為灰燼,再從灰燼中浴火重生。而鳳凰每一次的重生,就能獲得比以往更強大的生命力,如此周而復始,直至「鳳凰涅槃」,獲得永生。
.
而我們經過禪修之後,觀察能力、視覺能力、以至於各種能力,從寬度、深度、廣度。在境界上也會有很大差別,我們從一個凡人的基礎上,修到了視覺能力,和精神境界都超越過去,甚至超越了凡人,自然我們的能量就會比過去增強;而我們的思維方式、智慧也將比過去強上很多。
.
當深入修行到一個程度的時候,我們也有機會,生出許多超越原本能力的超能力,可以跨越時間、空間去看我們自己、看這個世界,去順應於這個世界、甚至是利用這個世界,讓自己飛升起來,這叫什麼呢?——「善用萬物而入鳳凰涅槃」,通俗地講就是「烏鴉變鳳凰」,提升我們的肉體與精神境界。
.
本周的共修,我們就來聊聊如何通過「禪修」,來提升我們的心靈視覺,讓我們的人生達到更高的境界?大家可以留言分享你的感想和經驗、或分享這篇《心靈的視覺》給其他需要幫助的有緣人。
.
祝福朋友們的人生更燦爛、更吉祥!

Make the best of everything to elevate oneself.
In Western mythology there is a kind of sacred bird called “phoenix” which is also known as firebird or long-lived bird. According to legend, the phoenix cyclically regenerates or born again after every 500 years through gathering incense wood and burning itself to ashes. With every rebirth, the phoenix gains stronger life force and this keeps repeating until it eventually attains Nirvana and gains an eternal life.
Through meditation, our observation and visual skills improve. Thus we have better ability and able to view broader and deeper. Our spiritual realm also transcend to a level higher than that of a normal human being. So naturally our energy will be stronger than in the past and so will be our thinking ability and wisdom.
When our practice has reached a certain depth, we will find ourselves gaining new ability beyond our original ability. We may even have the ability to look at the world and ourselves beyond time and space. We may be able to adapt to the world by using what the world has to offer. We refer to this as – “making the best of everything to attain phoenix’s state of Nirvana” or simply, “transforming a crow into a phoenix” to explain the elevation of our physical and mental state of mind.
In this week’s global group practice, let us discuss how we can elevate our spiritual mind through meditation. I welcome all to share your thoughts, experiences and your spiritual transformations in the path of your self-cultivation!
May all enjoy a fulfilling, happy and auspicious life!
