自我改變的力量
.
將狹隘而自我的心打開,把自己的目光放得博大,
當心胸寬廣了、博大了,就會發現最美、最閃耀的自己。

.
也許我們無法決定自己,此生身處於什麼樣的環境!
我們改變不了過去,改變不了別人,
但是可以把握現在,從改變自己開始。

The Power to Change Yourself

Let us open our narrow and self-centered mind and see things from a broader perspective, because when our mind broadens with a compassionate heart, we will then discover our most beautiful and brilliant self.

We may not be able to choose our circumstances or the environment we are in. Neither can we alter our past nor change the way others behave, but we can seize the moment and change ourselves by changing the way we listen and perceive things around us.
— Master Jin Bodhi

★新視頻出爐★《什麼是佛》
.
.
佛法是「不可思議」;佛法不能用人類的的語言來描述它;佛法是雪地中開放的花朵,是死而後生;佛法是鳳凰涅槃;是烏鴉變鳳凰;奴隸變將軍;打工仔變老闆;貪財者覺悟。這都是可能的,不可思議的…..
.
佛經裡頭對「佛」這個詞的描述是「自覺覺他、覺行圓滿」。
那我再加上四個字「大慈大悲」。
因為大愛,祂愛眾生如父母、如兄弟、如親生的兒女,
祂時刻感受著眾生的苦,對眾生如親子般無私地呵護著。。。
.
當我們能夠「自覺覺他,覺行圓滿」。
你此刻明白,此刻有這麼大的發心,你就成佛了!
.
歡迎多多分享,多傳多福!!
祝福大家福慧圓滿,幸福快樂。

★ Newly released video ★ “What is the Buddha”

Buddhadharma is “inconceivable” and cannot be described in simple human language. It is like the blossomed flower on the snowy ground, having gained a new lease of life after wilting. Buddhadharma is like the phoenix that attains Nirvana; the crow that transcends to the phoenix; the slave that elevates to the general; the employee who becomes the boss; the greed-afflicted person who realizes enlightenment. It’s entirely possible, and incredible…

In the Buddhist sutra, the word “Buddha” is described as “(having realized) enlightenment of the self, he enlightens others, in the perfection of the enlightened practice”.
Allow me to add the four words “infinite compassion and mercy”.
Because of this infinite compassion, he loves all sentient beings as if they are his parents, siblings, and children of his own. He is always empathetic of the sufferings of sentient beings and selflessly blesses all sentient beings, like a parent…

When we attain self-awakening and help others attain that, we would have achieved perfection of awaken mind and action. You will realize with great aspiration, you are a Buddha!
You are welcome to share the video; as you share, you are more blessed!!

I wish everyone bountiful wealth and wisdom, and auspiciousness and happiness.

為什麼司馬懿的15萬精兵,輸了僅有250…

為什麼司馬懿的15萬精兵,輸了僅有2500人的諸葛亮?
.
.
《三國演義》中有一個很有名的故事「空城計」:
.
三國時期,魏蜀大戰,司馬懿帶著15萬大軍逼近西城,不巧諸葛亮已將兵馬調遣在外,一時難以回來,城中只留著老弱兵卒。危急之中,諸葛亮心想:「我就利用司馬懿,生性多疑的弱點來獻計吧!」
.
於是諸葛亮獨自坐上城頭,傳令士兵把城牆上所有的旌旗全收起來,大開四城門,每個城門僅僅派了20名士兵,喬扮成百姓模樣灑水掃街。諸葛亮自己則披上鶴氅、綸巾,領著兩個小書童,帶上一張琴,燃起香,悠閒自若地彈起琴來。
.
司馬懿兵臨城下,只見城門大開,幾個百姓正在掃地,諸葛亮卻在城樓上焚香撫琴,飲酒歡歌,司馬懿心中開始起疑,心想:「對手必有後援!」因此不敢貿然攻城,自退二十里路觀察。當司馬懿探明實情,想再返回時,趙雲已率大軍趕到城下,司馬懿這才知道中了諸葛亮的「空城計」。
.
可見,我們眼睛看到的、聽到的未必是真相。
我們經常被自己的五官感知給蒙蔽真相,而做出錯誤的判斷和決定。
.
所以,跳脫身體感官的覺知,超越自己的判斷力看待事物,才能夠看清事物的原貌。那如何才能提升自我的決斷力,為自己的生命找到出口呢?歡迎本週六咱們一起來聊聊《覺悟的探索之一》。

Why Sima Yi’s 150 thousand troops lost to Zhuge Liang’s 2,500 soldiers?
.
There is a well-known story “The Strategy of an Empty City” in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms:
.
During the period of the Three Kingdoms, Sima Yi, the general of Wei’s troops led 150 thousand troops on a battle against Shu’s territory of Xi City. Unfortunately Zhuge Liang had earlier sent his army away and was only left with a handful of weak soldiers. Knowing Shima Yi’s suspicious nature, Zhuge Liang promptly plotted a plan to play against Shima Yi’s weakness.
.
Zhuge Liang ordered his soldiers to remove all flags on the city wall and open the four main gates. He also arranged some soldiers to disguise as civilians to sweep the streets. As for him, he went to the top of the city wall, draped on a crane cloak, lit incense and leisurely played his musical instrument gu-zhen with only two child servants by his side.
.
When Sima Yi reached the city gate, he became suspicious when he saw the gate wide open with some ordinary folks sweeping the floor and Zhuge Liang seated relaxingly at the top of the city wall enjoying his music and incense. He thought, “The opponents must have backup plan!” Hence, he dare not invade the city rashly. Instead, he retreated twenty miles to observe the situation. When he finally realized the truth and returned to the city, General Zhao Yun already led his army back to the city to assist Zhuge Liang. It was then that Sima Yi realized he had been tricked by Zhuge Liang’s strategy of an empty city.
.
As evident, what we see and hear may not be the truth. Be it true or false, we are often misguided by our five senses and may end up making wrong judgements and decisions.
.
Hence, only if we can move beyond our physical senses to make judgement can we see things in their natural form. So how do we have better judgement and be sure that we are on the right path? Let’s discuss further in this Saturday’s “Exploring Enlightenment – Part 1”.

May all gain wisdom, health, auspiciousness and happiness!!

「布施者富貴」 . 有這麼一句話:「一個…

「布施者富貴」
.
有這麼一句話:「一個人的快樂,並不是他擁有的多少,而是他計較的少。」
.
我們要明白,多是一種「負擔」,少是另一種「有餘」。
「捨」也不一定是失,而是另一種更寬闊的「擁有」。
.
所以,捨得是生命的一種領悟與成熟,
捨得,更是一種智慧,一種人生的境界。
.
生命中那些不可思議的智慧、能力、財富、榮耀等等,
都是由佈施與捨得去收穫的。
.
Generosity invites wealth!
.
There is the saying, “A person’s happiness is not about how much he possesses, but how magnanimous he is”.
.
We must understand, having more can constitute a “burden”, and having less can make us appreciate our “extras”.
“Giving” is not necessarily a loss, but a broader form of “possessions”
.
So, willingness to give is a manifestation of an understanding and maturity of life,
Willingness to give, is also a mark of wisdom, and heralds an elevated state of life.
.
The inconceivable wisdom, capability, wealth, glory and so on, are the rewards from generosity and willingness to give.

你雖脆弱,必需堅強,因為你正走在變堅強的路上。
#宗師妙問妙答
.
.
有個溫哥華學員問我:「冬天天氣比較潮濕、寒冷,這種氣候適合在戶外走八卦嗎?」
.
答:「戶外也能走。」

我的個人修行經驗,八卦內功最好的方法是,一年四季都在戶外。
「夏練三暑,冬練三寒。」經過自然界四季溫度的淬煉,一整年每天都不間斷地練習,淬煉出毅力、粹煉出體力、淬煉出十八般好武藝,那麼能量增多、疾病就可能減少,才能健康長壽。
.
而淬鍊是什麼意思呢?
「淬煉」好比古代鑄劍,把鋼鐵在這個爐火裡頭燒得紅紅的,拿出來用鐵錘砸「打鐵、打鐵」嘛,它才會堅韌。砸完了再燒紅,之後再往那個冷水裡頭猛地放進去,通過這種忽熱、忽冷的方法,也叫「淬鋼」,它那個鋼化就出來了,它那個刀口就會非常鋒利。
.
那一般人說我很難堅持下來?我們若想能夠健康地生活和工作呢,那你就要付出一點體力。因為,無論一個方法有多好,你不練,那功夫永遠是功夫、你還是你。
.
所以,千萬記住啊,能夠撐得下來整一年的「夏練三暑,冬練三寒。」
就是三九天、大夏天,大寒天,都能夠堅持下來,人就會結實了。
.
如果,淬煉能讓我們更茁壯、更健康,那麼淬練便是值得的!

#八卦內功、#戶外、#淬煉、#潮冷、#20171019FB直播、#溫哥華rnrnYou may be frail now, but must remain resilient, for you are embarking on the path of strength.

A Vancouver student asked me, “The winter weather is relatively humid and cold; is such a climate suitable for the outdoor practice of Energy Bagua?”

Answer: “One can still practice Energy Bagua outdoor.”
From my personal experience in cultivation, the best approach to practice Energy Bagua is to do so outdoors all-year round, across the four seasons.

As the saying goes, 「practice through the three heat spells in summer, and three cold spells in winter」. After the all-year, uninterrupted daily practices, the rigors from “quenching” over naturally varied temperature of the four seasons will help instill perseverance, foster physical strength, and result in mastery of martial art skills. The outcome is the corresponding increase in energy, kept diseases at bay and maintain health and longevity.
And what’s “quenching”?

“Quenching” is used in the ancient process of making swords. In it, iron and steel are heated in the furnace till red-hot, taken out and hit repeatedly with the hammer so as to temper (harden) it. Thereafter, it is re-heated to red-hot and abruptly plunged into cold water. This method of subjecting the metal to sudden-hot, and sudden-cold temperatures, is called “quenching”, and it tempers the metal, drawing out its utmost strength, and ensuring it will be a very sharp sword.

What if someone says it’s difficult to persevere in practice? Well, if we want to be able to live and work healthily, then you will have to summon some small amount of effort. This is because no matter how good a method is, if one does not practice, then he/ she will not gain from the kung fu (skills), and will not benefit or experience any improvement.

So please bear in mind, if one can conscientiously adhere to the saying, “practice through the three heat spells in summer, and three cold spells in the winter”, and persevere through the year, including the hot summer and cold winter days, one will be fit.

If “quenching” can make us stronger and healthier, then this “quenching” is a worthy form of practice!

Grandfather asked: “Can you help my grandson who has myopia?”
Grandson: “Grandpa has serious presbyopia, please help my grandpa first!”
Zen Master replied: “There is no need to.”

Grandson: “Why is it so?”
Zen Master: “Because when vision is blur (with presbyopia), there is clarity in the mind.” ☀️ ☀️

Grandson: “What about me?”
Zen Master: “With clear vision (myopia), the heart wonders.” ? ? ?

佛有圓滿的願望 . 相傳民間的《異聞錄》…

佛有圓滿的願望
.
相傳民間的《異聞錄》裡有一則故事:
.
很久很久以前,有一隻修行的狐狸到佛陀那兒求法。
佛陀說:「修學此法須先發菩提心,依教奉行,還要精進修行,慈悲利益他人,不斷積累功德,直到你長出第九條尾巴,就是你覺悟得道的時候。
.
條件是,你每修行一百年就會長出一條尾巴,當長出第八條尾巴時,就必須去幫助一個有緣人實現一個善願。完成後,你會長出第九條新尾巴,但是從前的舊尾巴也會馬上脫落一條。
.
長出第九條新尾巴,同時脫落一條舊尾巴,那還是八尾狐狸?怎樣算都不可能修煉成九尾狐狸呀,但牠並沒有因此退縮,依照佛陀教戒,如法而行,並且更加虔誠精進。
.
上千年的時光翩然而逝,這只狐狸幫了成千上萬的人們實現願望,可是牠仍然只有八條尾巴。
.
有一天,在暴風雨中,八尾狐狸在回藏身處途中,遇到一個被狼群圍攻的少年。牠奮不顧身,以少勝多趕走了狼群,救下了少年。少年非常喜歡這只狐狸,卻遲遲不肯開口說出他的願望,八尾狐為了想盡快達成願望,只好每天跟著少年。
.
這天,少年突然問八尾狐:「你是不是所有願望都能實現?」八尾狐很開心又期盼的的點點頭。
.
然後,少年一字一頓說:「那我的願望就是『但.願.你.有.九.條.尾.巴』。」
.
此時,八尾狐呆住了,烏溜溜的小眼睛中,充滿了感恩和感動,牠終於領悟了這些年來佛陀的深意:「原來,利益別人的同時,就是成就自己的開始。」上千年來,太多人只求成全自己,卻忘了利益他人。
.
八尾狐的第九條尾巴,竟是「少年」簡單而又純淨的心念,為牠達成的。
.
八尾狐狸救了少年,少年圓滿了狐狸的修行,對九尾狐狸來說,這是歷經千年的等待,得來不易啊。
.
八尾狐狸匍匐在少年面前,舔了舔他的手,慢慢站起身,在一片耀眼美麗的金色光芒中,牠長出了第九條尾巴,然後隨著光芒消失了。
.
後來,少年一生兒孫滿堂,富貴滿盈,子孫們也各個才氣出眾,堪稱是個官爵世家,幸福且美滿。

Buddha has a perfect wish
.
According to legend, “Yiwenlu” (records of unusual stories from ancient China) there is a story:
.
A long time ago, there was a practicing fox seeking the dharma from the Buddha.
The Buddha said: “To learn this method, one must first have Bodhicitta, practice according to the Dharma and practice with diligence. Benefit others through compassion and accumulate merit until you grow the ninth tail. That is when you achieve perfect enlightenment.
.
On the condition that you grow a tail every 100 years, you must help a destined person achieve a benevolent aspiration when you grow the eighth tail. When done, the new ninth tail will grow, but an old tail will immediately drop off”.
.
As the ninth new tail grows, an old tail will drop off. Hence the fox will still be left with eight tails. It is impossible to cultivate to become a fox with nine tails. But the fox did not give up following Buddha’s guidance and acted according to his teaching. It became more devout and diligent instead.
.
Thousands of years passed and the fox had helped thousands of people realize their aspirations but yet had only eight tails.
.
One day, during the storm, on the way to its hiding place, the eight-tailed fox encountered a young man who was surrounded by a pack of wolves. It dashed bravely towards the wolves and even though it was outnumbered, the fox managed to drive away the wolves and saved him. The young man like the fox very much but was reluctant to talk about his wish. The eight-tailed fox wanted to quickly achieve his aspiration and so followed the young man every day.
.
One day, the young man suddenly asked the eight-tailed Fox: “Is it true that you can help me achieve all my aspirations?” The eight-tail fox nodded happily and looked at the man eagerly.
.
Then the young man said each word slowly: “Then. My. Desire. Is. For. You. To. Have. Your. Ninth. Tail.”
.
At that moment, the eight-tailed fox was stunned; it was so touched that its small dark eyes were filled with gratitude. The fox finally realized the profound meaning of the Buddha’s teaching all these years: “It turns out that when you benefit others, you are beginning to accomplish yourself.” For thousands of years, too many people just want to fulfill themselves but forget the interests of others.
.
The ninth tail of the eight-tail fox was possible due to a pure and simple thought of the young man.
.
The eight-tailed fox saved the young man, who in turned fulfilled the practice of the fox. To the nine-tailed fox, it was a long wait that was not easy to go through.
.
The eight-tailed fox crawled in front of the young man, licked his hand and slowly stood up. In glittering, beautiful golden rays, it grew the ninth tail and then disappeared along with the brilliant rays.
.
Later, the young man had many descendants and led a life with riches and honor. His children and grandchildren were also with outstanding talent and they could be considered a family of officials, happy and blessed.

#佛的願望、#九尾狐狸、#願望、#慈悲的力量、#助人的利益rnrn佛有圓滿的願望
.
相傳民間的《異聞錄》裡有一則故事:
.
很久很久以前,有一隻修行的狐狸到佛陀那兒求法。
佛陀說:「修學此法須先發菩提心,依教奉行,還要精進修行,慈悲利益他人,不斷積累功德,直到你長出第九條尾巴,就是你覺悟得道的時候。
.
條件是,你每修行一百年就會長出一條尾巴,當長出第八條尾巴時,就必須去幫助一個有緣人實現一個善願。完成後,你會長出第九條新尾巴,但是從前的舊尾巴也會馬上脫落一條。
.
長出第九條新尾巴,同時脫落一條舊尾巴,那還是八尾狐狸?怎樣算都不可能修煉成九尾狐狸呀,但牠並沒有因此退縮,依照佛陀教戒,如法而行,並且更加虔誠精進。
.
上千年的時光翩然而逝,這只狐狸幫了成千上萬的人們實現願望,可是牠仍然只有八條尾巴。
.
有一天,在暴風雨中,八尾狐狸在回藏身處途中,遇到一個被狼群圍攻的少年。牠奮不顧身,以少勝多趕走了狼群,救下了少年。少年非常喜歡這只狐狸,卻遲遲不肯開口說出他的願望,八尾狐為了想盡快達成願望,只好每天跟著少年。
.
這天,少年突然問八尾狐:「你是不是所有願望都能實現?」八尾狐很開心又期盼的的點點頭。
.
然後,少年一字一頓說:「那我的願望就是『但.願.你.有.九.條.尾.巴』。」
.
此時,八尾狐呆住了,烏溜溜的小眼睛中,充滿了感恩和感動,牠終於領悟了這些年來佛陀的深意:「原來,利益別人的同時,就是成就自己的開始。」上千年來,太多人只求成全自己,卻忘了利益他人。
.
八尾狐的第九條尾巴,竟是「少年」簡單而又純淨的心念,為牠達成的。
.
八尾狐狸救了少年,少年圓滿了狐狸的修行,對九尾狐狸來說,這是歷經千年的等待,得來不易啊。
.
八尾狐狸匍匐在少年面前,舔了舔他的手,慢慢站起身,在一片耀眼美麗的金色光芒中,牠長出了第九條尾巴,然後隨著光芒消失了。
.
後來,少年一生兒孫滿堂,富貴滿盈,子孫們也各個才氣出眾,堪稱是個官爵世家,幸福且美滿。

Buddha has a perfect wish
.
According to legend, “Yiwenlu” (records of unusual stories from ancient China) there is a story:
.
A long time ago, there was a practicing fox seeking the dharma from the Buddha.
The Buddha said: “To learn this method, one must first have Bodhicitta, practice according to the Dharma and practice with diligence. Benefit others through compassion and accumulate merit until you grow the ninth tail. That is when you achieve perfect enlightenment.
.
On the condition that you grow a tail every 100 years, you must help a destined person achieve a benevolent aspiration when you grow the eighth tail. When done, the new ninth tail will grow, but an old tail will immediately drop off”.
.
As the ninth new tail grows, an old tail will drop off. Hence the fox will still be left with eight tails. It is impossible to cultivate to become a fox with nine tails. But the fox did not give up following Buddha’s guidance and acted according to his teaching. It became more devout and diligent instead.
.
Thousands of years passed and the fox had helped thousands of people realize their aspirations but yet had only eight tails.
.
One day, during the storm, on the way to its hiding place, the eight-tailed fox encountered a young man who was surrounded by a pack of wolves. It dashed bravely towards the wolves and even though it was outnumbered, the fox managed to drive away the wolves and saved him. The young man like the fox very much but was reluctant to talk about his wish. The eight-tailed fox wanted to quickly achieve his aspiration and so followed the young man every day.
.
One day, the young man suddenly asked the eight-tailed Fox: “Is it true that you can help me achieve all my aspirations?” The eight-tail fox nodded happily and looked at the man eagerly.
.
Then the young man said each word slowly: “Then. My. Desire. Is. For. You. To. Have. Your. Ninth. Tail.”
.
At that moment, the eight-tailed fox was stunned; it was so touched that its small dark eyes were filled with gratitude. The fox finally realized the profound meaning of the Buddha’s teaching all these years: “It turns out that when you benefit others, you are beginning to accomplish yourself.” For thousands of years, too many people just want to fulfill themselves but forget the interests of others.
.
The ninth tail of the eight-tail fox was possible due to a pure and simple thought of the young man.
.
The eight-tailed fox saved the young man, who in turned fulfilled the practice of the fox. To the nine-tailed fox, it was a long wait that was not easy to go through.
.
The eight-tailed fox crawled in front of the young man, licked his hand and slowly stood up. In glittering, beautiful golden rays, it grew the ninth tail and then disappeared along with the brilliant rays.
.
Later, the young man had many descendants and led a life with riches and honor. His children and grandchildren were also with outstanding talent and they could be considered a family of officials, happy and blessed.

「孩子的未來在於你?」 . . 有個同修…

「孩子的未來在於你?」
.
.
有個同修給我寫信,說她們夫妻倆都失業了,孩子已16、17歲,很貪玩,讀書分數較差。她為了要讓孩子考上理想大學,每天在佛菩薩像前獻上一柱清香、供兩三顆蘋果,每天堅持的念佛祈福好幾個小時。
.
大概過了三個多月,孩子高考放榜,果真高中榜首了。他給媽媽拿著那個金榜題名的錄取單。哎喲,他媽媽:「哇」一聲就歡喜地哭了出來,因為她生命中的希望啊,終於看到了!她終於等到了這個希望。
.
兒子告訴父母親:「我考試的時候,看著考題怎麼感覺我都會,也不覺得害怕,我考試從來沒這樣輕鬆過,這回應該能考上了。」
.
所以,為了讓你的後代更好,最直接的方法就是在佛前真誠地去祈請、去供奉,為孩子念佛。
.
今天,在吉祥的藥師佛誕日子前後,讓我們一起來《為子女念佛》,也為自己最愛的親人一起念佛祈福吧,共同探討如何讓自己,和子女的人生更精彩、更吉祥。
.
喜歡就請分享~
祝福朋友們都能夠吉祥、自在、幸福、快樂!

.
A fellow practitioner wrote to me that they, husband and wife, were both unemployed. Their child was already 16 or 17 years old but very playful and poor in studies. Hoping that her child would be accepted into an ideal university, she offered incense and apples before Buddha and bodhisattvas on a daily basis and adhered to daily chanting ritual for several hours.
.
When result was released three months later, her son topped his cohort. The mother was happily surprised and burst into tears. She finally saw hope in life.
.
The son told his parents, “I was not nervous during the examinations because I was able to answer all the questions. I have never felt so relaxed before. I think I should be able to gain admission into university.”
.
So, in order for your descendants to have a better future, the most direct method is to chant sincerely and make offerings on their behalf.
.
Since today is near the auspicious birthday of the Medicine Buddha, let us chant for our children as well as for our love ones. Let us also explore how we and our children can lead a more wonderful and auspicious life.
If you like this post, please share it with your friends.
May you enjoy auspiciousness, peace and happiness!

放下貪念,迎來富貴。 . 其實佛法說的,…

放下貪念,迎來富貴。
.
其實佛法說的,首先是「生存之道」,之後才是「解脫之道」。
.
要想活得好,心胸要開闊,要跨越自己這個小我;要跨越空間來做事情,跨越時間來想事情,才能更完整、更長久地獲得利益,獲得一切美好、富貴、吉祥、長壽、健康。
.

Let go of greed and unlock your wisdom
.
Buddha Dharma is primarily about “The way of life”; followed by “The way to liberation”.
.
In order to live well, we must be magnanimous and overcome self-centeredness. We should analyze and do things irrespective of the constraints of space and time. Only then, can we access to wholesome and long term benefits, attaining beauty, prosperity, auspiciousness, longevity and health.
