祝福大家，西洋情人節快樂！
.
2月14日是浪漫的西洋情人節，也是一個值得珍惜的日子。
珍惜，始終如一陪伴在你身旁的那個人…
珍惜，老愛陪你打打鬧鬧，使你不至於覺得孤單的那個人。
.
想想，兩個人開始在一起的時候，對方幫你買頓宵夜或早餐，你都會感動的拍照上傳，後來，對方給妳的照顧，每日的噓寒問暖，竟成了一種習慣。
.
他為你做的任何一件事，習慣成自然，甚至成了理所當然，就會忘了珍惜身邊，最有熱度且溫暖的一顆心，因為，能遇見願意為你付出的人真的非常不容易。
.
學會珍惜，才能享受到那份最單純的幸福！！

Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you!
.
February 14 is the day of romance in the Gregorian calendar – Valentine’s Day. It is also a day to be treasured.
Treasure the one who has remained at your side through it all…
Treasure the one who loves to wrangle and quibble with you so that you would never feel alone.
.
Think about the time when you first started dating – you were so touched when your partner brought you supper or breakfast that you took a picture and uploaded it to social media immediately. But somewhere along the way, you take for granted the care and concern that your partner shower on you every day.
.
Every single thing that your partner does for you has become something that you expect. You have forgotten to treasure the person that is closest to you. Please remember that it is really not easy to meet someone who is willing to be give selflessly to you. Treasure it.
.
Learn to treasure what you have, and you will enjoy the simplest and purest joy!!

新春_回家過年啦~ . . 對中國人來說…

新春_回家過年啦~
.
.
對中國人來說，過年就是回家！因為..
家.是兒時幸福的港灣！
家.是餐餐好吃的菜餚！
家.是讓人放鬆的休閒會館！
家.是生命中最溫暖的懷抱！
家.是每個人內心深處，最遺忘不了的地方！
.
因為，那裡有「愛」的滋潤、澆灌著我們成長與茁壯！！
是「家」给了我們希望與夢想，他给了我們一雙自由飛翔的翅膀。
.
華人的情感表達，向來含蓄而内斂，無論子女在外做什麼，父母都會默默支持，只願兒女們事業有成，順利、健康、平安的，即便是一年見不到一面，偶兒聽見孩子的聲音，就會開心個好幾天。
.
所以，無論你的夢想是什麼？各自飛翔到了何方？
要記得，一生的愛唯有「家」，「家」才是我們幸福的港灣。
快回家吧，爸爸媽媽還在等著你呢。。。
.
在這個充滿吉祥的日子裡，如果能帶著他們，一起來到禪堂這個大家庭，在佛前為他們「點燈祈福」為他們點燃一柱清香祝禱：祝福父親、母親的身體吉祥、健康、無病無災、長壽健康。因為，唯有父母親身體健康了，快樂了，就是一家子最珍貴的禮物呢。
.
祝福大家：
新年吉祥如意！願佛力給予大家滿滿的加持，為自己、為父母、也為來年迎來好運氣。
健康、長壽、幸福、快樂！

Spring Festival – It is time to go home for Chinese New Year celebration~

Home is our blissful and happy haven!
Home is a place for mum’s delicious and tasty cooking!
Home is a place of leisure to unwind and rest
Home provides us with warm embrace!
Home holds an unforgettable place in our hearts!

Home is the source of nourishing love, it waters our growth so that we flourish and become sturdy and strong!!
Home is the source of our hopes and dreams, it nurtures and provides us with a pair of soaring wings.

The Chinese has always been more subtle and restraint when it comes to expressing love, affection, care and concern for each other. Parents would quietly support their children in all their endeavors.I Their only wish is for their children to lead a smooth, healthy and safe life and attain career success. Even if they did not see their children for the whole year, they feel happy and contented just by listening to their children’s voice and this happiness lasts for days.

Hence, regardless of your dream, where will you go?
Always remember, our life’s primary love can be found only in our home, home is our happy haven.
Go home quickly, mum and dad are waiting for you…

If possible, please bring your parents to Bodhi Meditation on this auspicious festival to offer a light or venerate before the Buddha to seek blessings for them or light an incense to wish them longevity. May our parents be blessed with auspiciousness, great health, longevity and be free from illnesses and calamities. Our parents’ health and happiness is the most precious gift.

May all:
Enjoy an auspicious Spring Festival! May Buddha and Bodhisattvas shower everyone with bountiful blessings, let us all usher in good luck and fortune for ourselves and our parents.
Blessings of good health, longevity and happiness!

【緬甸_大金石】 . . 看見信仰的力量…

【緬甸_大金石】
.
.
看見信仰的力量！即使窮，也要把最好的獻給佛。
.
緬甸_大金石（Golden Rock）位於緬甸南部_孟邦（Mon State），位在海拔1100多公尺的山頂上，這顆大金石身長長約8公尺、有上百噸重，以令人難以置信的姿態，佇立於懸崖峭壁間，彷彿一不小心，就會滾落山崖。
.
石頭上面建造了一座_吉諦瑜佛塔（Kyaiktiyo Pagoda），約7公尺。傳說因為塔下埋著佛祖的兩根頭髮，所以才能撐住這顆大石不會滾落，信眾們深信不疑，將金箔貼滿了整顆石頭，因此變成一顆大金石。
.
緬甸人相信，若是一年內能到大金石朝聖3次，則今生不會窮貧，因此每天一早，這兒會湧進來自各地的信徒上山。他們說：「因為佛髮代表佛頭，有機會睡在佛頭身邊，是非常難得的！」因此大金石廣場上，有許多人就鋪塊蓆子，隨地而睡，所以全家大小露宿廣場也甘之如飴。
.
歡迎大家，有空也到這兒來走走，參拜、禮佛！！
最後祝福大家：
願佛的慈悲光芒，遍照世界每個角落！
願佛賜給您富貴、吉祥、幸福、平安。
得無上智慧和成就。

【The Golden Rock – Myanmar】
.
Witness the power of faith! Even if poor, one should offer the best before the Buddha.
.
The Golden Rock is located in the Mon state to the south of Myanmar. With an altitude of more than 1,100 meters above the sea level at its peak, the stone measures about 8 meters long, with a weight exceeding hundreds of tons. It is perched in a remarkable (yet treacherous) position against the cliff, where it seems a careless move can cause it to plunge into the abyss below.
.
Built atop the rock is the Kyaiktiyo Pagoda, of about 7 meters. Legend has it that due to two strands of the Buddha’s hair buried under the pagoda, the rock is well secured and thus has not tumbled down the cliff. Followers unwaveringly believe in it, and have used gold foil to plaster the whole stone, honoring it as the Golden Rock.
.
Myanmars believe that if one makes 3 pilgrimages to the Golden Rock in a year, he/ she will not be poor in this life. Thus, the monument will be crowded with followers from diverse places every morning. They reckon, “the hair of the Buddha represents the Buddha’s head. To have the opportunity to sleep by the Buddha’s head, is indeed very rare!” So, around the compound of the rock, there would be many people and families alike, laying mats, lying down and taking a nap – relishing with much pleasure despite the inherent risk.
.
Everyone is welcome to visit this monument, and if there’s time, take a stroll, pay homage and venerate the Buddha!!
Lastly, I wish everyone;
May the compassionate radiance of the Buddha illuminate every corner of the universe!
May the Buddha bless you with prosperity, auspiciousness, happiness, peace and serenity.
May you attain unparalleled wisdom, expertise and achievements.
.
Many thanks to our online friends in Myanmar who helped to source for beautiful photographs.

爬上天梯的伏羲 . . 　　傳說，以前有…

爬上天梯的伏羲
.
.
　　傳說，以前有一個名叫華胥國的地方，住在那兒的人快樂又長壽，生活過得簡直和神仙差不多。但是因為日子過得太幸福了，人們都懶洋洋的，不想工作，也不想創造什麼。
.
華旭國裡住著一位與眾不同的年輕小夥子，他叫_伏羲，他覺得這兒的生活太平凡了，他認為沒有創造力的生活實在很無聊。有一天，他砍斷一株梧桐樹，裝上五十根弦線，作出了一種名叫瑟的樂器。這把琴彈奏起來，聲音清脆響亮，似乎能夠穿透天上，極是好聽。
.
　　這一天，伏羲正在彈琴，遠處突然傳來打雷的聲音。他抬起頭望著天空，心想：「聽說我的父親是住在天上的雷神，我想到天上去看看，並且玩樂一番。聽說在東南方有一棵神樹，它就像一座天梯一樣，高聳直入雲霄，只要爬上去，就可以到達神仙居住的天上呢！」
.
　　伏羲於是帶著他心愛的樂器離開華胥國，往東南方去尋找天梯。
但是一路上的風景卻越來越荒涼，他發現，原來華胥國以外的人們，都過得非常野蠻，都是弱肉強食血淋淋的畫面。
.　
　　突然，伏羲在一片廣大的草地上，他遇見了一個美麗的女子，孤獨的走來走去，像是很憂傷的樣子。原來，她正是主管都廣野的女神素女。
.
　　「請問，你知道通往天上的神木在哪裡嗎？」伏羲問。

　　素女問他：「你為什麼不好好的留在地上，偏要尋找天梯神樹呢？」
伏羲說：「因為天上有美麗的宮殿、鮮花。還有，我的父親雷神也住在那兒呢。」
.
　　「好吧，我告訴你神樹在哪裡，可是你要知道，當你爬上神樹後，可決不能回頭往下望喔！」伏羲順著素女手指的方向，在廣野的中央，果然看見一棵巨大無比的大樹，像一道筆直煙柱似的，直衝向天空！伏羲將背上的樂器，送給素女。之後就開始沿著天梯建木往上爬。
.
這是一棵古怪的樹，樹幹滑溜溜的。他爬著爬著，突然聽到「丁丁咚咚」幾聲調弦的聲音，素女正為伏羲演奏著幾首送別的曲子。
　　當伏羲即將攀上最高峰，抵達天上的時候，素女演奏的音樂突然穿雲破空而來，那聲音絕望又悲哀，就好像剛剛一路上，那些弱肉強食動物們的哭嚎聲一樣，伏羲聽了心頭一震，忘記素女的警告，忍不住低頭望了一眼。
.
　　這一望可糟了，他只覺得天旋地轉，手腳抱不住光滑的樹皮，頭下腳上的直摔了下去。還好他摔進了厚厚的草叢裡，才保住了一條小命。伏羲很生氣：「素女為什麼要奏這麼悲哀的樂曲，故意讓我分神呢？我一定要找她問個明白！」
.　
　　伏羲因為找不到素女，望著黑沉沉的黑水，心裡很是苦惱。這時候，忽然海浪像花瓣一樣分開了，中間還冒出了一個像龍又像馬，背上有八角圖案的神獸。野獸向伏羲開口說話了。
.
牠說：「我知道你正在找素女，但是她已經走了。她讓我告訴你：「人世間苦難的人這麼多，他們沒有知識，沒有學識，正需要有智慧的人引領與幫助，你怎麼忍心一個人爬到天上享福呢？其實，你會從天上摔下來，並不是因為素女的音樂太悲傷，而是因為，你的心中還存著對人間的同情和不忍，你真正的心願，是去幫助那些苦難的人們啊！」
.
　　伏羲聽完神獸的話，若有所悟的想：「我有的是聰明和智慧，正可以用來幫助人們改善生活啊！」
.
　　於是，伏羲不再一心想著爬上天梯了。他走回自己的家鄉，帶領人民建立王國、創製曆法，他同時教民馴養野獸，這就是家畜的由來；教會人們利用石器製造生活所需的器具，並教會人們利用石頭鑽木取火，建立熟食的飲食習慣，人們從此再也不會因為不淨的殘忍生食法，而引發疾病，或被野獸傷害了。
.
　　更重要的，是他受到龍馬的啟示，由龍馬背上的長短斑紋，發明了八卦。人們因此懂得自然界的基本知識和秩序，東方蠻荒的土地，最後終於成了一塊幸福的王國。

讚是一種鼓勵，分享是最好的支持。

He who climbed the stairs to Heaven – Fuxi
.
According to legend, there used to be a place called Hua Xu Guo, where the people were happy and lived long lives. It was like heaven on earth. However, due to the lack of hardship, the people there were lazy – they did not have the motivation to work or to create things.
.
However, there was a young lad named Fuxi who was different from all the others. He felt that the life in Hua Xu Guo was too mundane and he found the lack of creativity boring. Once, he chopped down a Phoenix tree and made a musical instrument by attaching fifty strings to it. This musical instrument was called a Se (an ancient Chinese plucked zither). The sound of the Se was crisp, clear, and so heavenly that it seemed to soar through the clouds into the sky.
.
One day, as Fuxi was playing the Se as usual, he heard the sound of thunder in the distance. He looked up at the sky and thought to himself: “My father is supposedly the Thunder God who lives in heaven. How I wish that I can go up there to take a look. I’ve heard that there is a magic tree south-east from here. Supposedly it rises up into the clouds, like a staircase to heaven. As long as I climb along the magic tree, I should be able to go up into heaven!”
.
With that thought, Fuxi took his beloved Se and left Hua Xu Guo in search of the staircase to heaven. Along the way, he encountered chilling scenes. He quickly learned that people outside of Hua Xu Guo lived very barbaric lives. He witnessed many brutal scenes of the strong preying on and devouring the weak.
.
Suddenly, Fuxi emerged into a wide, open grassland, where he saw a beautiful lady pacing sorrowfully. He found out that she was the Goddess in charge of all the wildernesses, Sunu.
.
“Excuse me, do you know where I can find the magic tree that goes up into heaven?” Fuxi sked.
.
“Why don’t you remain on the ground? Why do you want to search for the magic tree to heaven?”

Fuxi replied: “Because there are beautiful palaces and flowers up in heaven. And my father, the Thunder God, lives there.”

“Alright, I can tell you where the magic tree is. But you have to remember this: As you climb up the tree, you must never look downwards!”
.
Fuxi looked in the direction pointed by the goddess. Right in the center of the grass plains, he saw a gigantic tree rising up into the sky like a column of smoke! He took down the Se which he had been carrying all this while, and gave it to the goddess as a gift. Then he started his climb up the huge trunk.
.
As he climbed, he heard the sound of someone tuning the strings on the Se. The goddess was playing a farewell melody for Fuxi.
.
As he climbed to the top of the tree, he was not far away from the heaven. Suddenly the song played by the goddess floated into his ears. The melody was hauntingly hopeless and sad, reminding him of the wails of the animals which he witnessed being devoured earlier. The haunting melody tugged at Fuxi’s heart. Forgetting the warning from the goddess, he glanced downwards.
.
Immediately his hand slipped off the smooth trunk and he fell, head-first. Fortunately for him, he was saved by a thick carpet of grass which cushioned his fall. Fuxi was furious: “Why did the goddess play such a haunting melody to distract me? I must talk to her!”
.
However, the goddess was nowhere to be found. Disappointed, Fuxi stared moodily into the dark waters. Without warning, the water parted, and a mythical creature that resembled a dragon and a horse at the same time emerged. There was a picture of an octagon on the back of the creature. The creature spoke: “I know that you are looking for the goddess. You won’t find her, as she has already left. She asked me to pass you a message – There are so many people who are suffering in this world. They are uneducated and uninformed. They need a wise person to lead them, to help them. How can you bear to desert them and enjoy life on your own in heaven? You did not fall because of the goddess’ sad music. You fell because you still have empathy and sympathy for the people who are suffering. Your wish is to help these people!”
.
After hearing the words of the creature, Fuxi had a realization: “I am smart. I can use my wisdom to help improve the lives of these people!”
.
From then on, Fuxi stopped thinking about climbing up the staircase to heaven. He returned to his hometown, where he led his countrymen to build up an empire. He also led in the creation of the calendar system, and taught his people to tame wild animals. That was the start of animal domestication. He also taught his people to create stone tools, to start fire through drilling of wood, and to start the habit of cooking food before consumption. This greatly reduced the occurrences of diseases as a result of eating unclean raw food, and also reduced the incidence of people getting hurt by wild animals.
.
Most importantly, he was inspired by the prints on the mythical creature and invented the eight trigrams commonly known as Bagua. This increased mankind’s general knowledge about the world of nature and introduced order into the society. This was how a barbaric place in the east was eventually transformed into a happy kingdom.

人生中很重要的三件事：

1.用「寬容」的心對待世界，面對生活。
2.用「快樂」的心創造世界，改變未來。
3.用「感恩」的心感受世界，分享生活。

一份關心不嫌煩，一生緣份不嫌長。
快對身邊所有的人說聲感謝吧！

在美國及很多國家，今天是他們的「感恩節」，但願咱們說「感恩」不分時間和國界，願大家天天都可以是感恩節，祝福大家「感恩節快樂」！！
.

Be grateful for everything that you encounter in your life
.
Three important things in life:
1. Have 「tolerance」 for the world and in life’s encounters.
2. Shape the world and transform the future with a 「happy」heart.
3. With「gratitude 」, feel the world and share your life.
.
Say thanks ~
There is no complaint about tiredness throughout the year; no greeting too trivial.
No concern is too vexing, a life of predestined affinity is not too long.
Express your thanks to all the people around you!
In the United States and many other countries, today is “Thanksgiving Day.” Let us give thanks regardless of time and nationality. May we all be grateful every day. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!

生命的平衡
.
人生好比如天平，平衡貫穿於生命的兩端。
愛自己，也要愛他人，乃至於愛天下萬物。
.
當我們對事情的看法不再兩極化了，
就能得到平衡的觀點，
自然也就找到生命的平衡之法。
.
學習，讓理性與感性得到平衡，
如此，行走於生命的天平中，就能夠游刃有餘。
.
.
Balance in Life
.
Life is like a scale – the objective is to attain balance between the two extremes of life. We must love ourselves, love others, and extend that love even to all living beings in this world.
.
When you views are no longer extreme,
We will be able to reach an equilibrium.
Naturally, we will find a balance in life.
.
Learn to attain a balance between reason and emotions. In this way, we will be able to achieve balance in our lives and any problems we encounter will be easily resolved.

.
請大家記住，「付出什麼，得到什麼。」

當選擇好自己生命的規範去做，有這樣的一個決定之後，就好辦了。
當我們用善心對待每一件事情，惡事也會變好事；用善心對平常事，就會變成吉祥的事。

You control your own destiny

What is the reason for you coming here today?
Perhaps its for happiness, health, self-liberation, career or maybe to find a better path for your future. Everyone has a long and broad path ahead.

However, I would like everyone to remember, “You reap what you sow”.

When you set a goal for yourself, make sure you follow it through.
By using kindness to deal with the daily happenings in life can turn bad things into good and make our lives more pleasant. Hence it’s imperative to cultivate a kind and compassionate heart.

You must have faith that you control your own destiny; you alone call the shots as to the kind of future you want for yourself!

「時尚禪修」—流行、健康、快樂。 . ….

「時尚禪修」—流行、健康、快樂。
.
.
快節奏的現代生活常讓都市人疲憊不堪…
而有一種清新、健康的養生方法因此正在流行，成為一種新風尚，那就是──「禪修」。
.
「禪修」使人快樂??
美國威斯康辛大學_麥迪森分校_心理學和精神病學教授_大衛遜（同時也是位於Waisman中心的「精神健康研究中心」的創建者和主席），他在美國國家科學院院刊（PNAS）上發表了論文。
.
他們認為：「禪修可以改變我們的情緒，可能讓我們更快樂。」
.
緊張、疲憊，使現代人尋求很多方法來放鬆，像出去打球、或者到戶外運動等等。 但這些方法都不如在那兒靜靜地去坐上一個鐘頭，能夠使你的疲勞很快消失，快樂、正面、健康的能量就會充滿全身。
.
「禪修」的過程，就像是我們到河裡頭舀了一桶水上來，起先是渾濁的，然後泥沙、樹葉那些重的就會沉到桶底，中間這一段相對來說比較乾淨，透明、透澈，雜質越少水也就越透澈。
.
而禪修，也是借由人們靜下來，使重的能量沉下去，通過各種通道，呼吸、出汗、排泄、大小便，都慢慢排出體外。而輕的呢，就浮上來了，浮到哪兒呢？浮到意識之外了。
.
一旦，我們的身心進入清淨狀態之後，你會將很多原來不應該去執著的煩惱，自然地過濾掉，容易將事物的真相理解得透徹，這點是很奇妙的，這也是佛法中不可思議的現象。
.
「禪修」會讓我們的心變得平靜而清澈，此時快樂感就會從心底自然升起，所以經常禪修的人，通常比不禪修的人較為「快樂」和「幸福」。

“Meditation in modern times” — Popular, healthy, blissful.
The fast pace of modern life often makes city dwellers exhausted and drained…
There is a new, healthy approach to physical well-being that is increasingly popular and trendy….. “Meditation”.

Can “meditating” brings happiness?
Davidson, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry of University of Wisconsin’s Madison School (also Founder and President of Waisman Center’s Mental Health Research Center) has published relevant papers in the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on this.
The research shows, “meditation can transform our mood, and make us happier.”

Stress and exhaustion drives today’s man to search for ways to relax, activities like ball games or outdoor exercises, and so on. However, such efforts pale in comparison to an hour of quiet meditation that rapidly dissipates one’s fatigue and brings about bliss, positivity, and abundant healthy energy to the whole body.

“Meditation” is like when one draws a bucket of water from the river; initially muddy, then the sediment, leaves, and heavier particles sink to the bottom, leaving the centre section relatively clearer, transparent and permeated. With less impurities, the water becomes more transparent.
Thus, people practice meditation as a means to calm down, allowing stale energy to sink and gradually be removed from the body through various channels such as respiration, perspiration, and excretion. The subtle energy rises from within; where does it elevate to? It elevates to our consciousness.

Once the body and mind enter into this calm meditative state, one can naturally filter out the many unnecessary anxieties that are caused by one’s attachment, and come to comprehend the underlying truth in matters easily. This is the miraculous aspect and phenomenon of the Dharma.

“Meditation” transforms our mind, making it calm and clear, allowing bliss to elevate naturally from within. Thus, a conscientious practitioner usually experiences more bliss and happiness than a non-practitioner.

.
他們認為：「禪修可以改變我們的情緒，可能讓我們更快樂。」
.
緊張、疲憊，使現代人尋求很多方法來放鬆，像出去打球、或者到戶外運動等等。 但這些方法都不如在那兒靜靜地去坐上一個鐘頭，能夠使你的疲勞很快消失，快樂、正面、健康的能量就會充滿全身。
.
「禪修」的過程，就像是我們到河裡頭舀了一桶水上來，起先是渾濁的，然後泥沙、樹葉那些重的就會沉到桶底，中間這一段相對來說比較乾淨，透明、透澈，雜質越少水也就越透澈。
.
而禪修，也是借由人們靜下來，使重的能量沉下去，通過各種通道，呼吸、出汗、排泄、大小便，都慢慢排出體外。而輕的呢，就浮上來了，浮到哪兒呢？浮到意識之外了。
.
一旦，我們的身心進入清淨狀態之後，你會將很多原來不應該去執著的煩惱，自然地過濾掉，容易將事物的真相理解得透徹，這點是很奇妙的，這也是佛法中不可思議的現象。
.
「禪修」會讓我們的心變得平靜而清澈，此時快樂感就會從心底自然升起，所以經常禪修的人，通常比不禪修的人較為「快樂」和「幸福」。

“Meditation in modern times” — Popular, healthy, blissful.
The fast pace of modern life often makes city dwellers exhausted and drained…
There is a new, healthy approach to physical well-being that is increasingly popular and trendy….. “Meditation”.

Can “meditating” brings happiness?
Davidson, Professor of Psychology and Psychiatry of University of Wisconsin’s Madison School (also Founder and President of Waisman Center’s Mental Health Research Center) has published relevant papers in the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) on this.
The research shows, “meditation can transform our mood, and make us happier.”

Stress and exhaustion drives today’s man to search for ways to relax, activities like ball games or outdoor exercises, and so on. However, such efforts pale in comparison to an hour of quiet meditation that rapidly dissipates one’s fatigue and brings about bliss, positivity, and abundant healthy energy to the whole body.

“Meditation” is like when one draws a bucket of water from the river; initially muddy, then the sediment, leaves, and heavier particles sink to the bottom, leaving the centre section relatively clearer, transparent and permeated. With less impurities, the water becomes more transparent.
Thus, people practice meditation as a means to calm down, allowing stale energy to sink and gradually be removed from the body through various channels such as respiration, perspiration, and excretion. The subtle energy rises from within; where does it elevate to? It elevates to our consciousness.

Once the body and mind enter into this calm meditative state, one can naturally filter out the many unnecessary anxieties that are caused by one’s attachment, and come to comprehend the underlying truth in matters easily. This is the miraculous aspect and phenomenon of the Dharma.

“Meditation” transforms our mind, making it calm and clear, allowing bliss to elevate naturally from within. Thus, a conscientious practitioner usually experiences more bliss and happiness than a non-practitioner.

防落坑里，不貪便宜。 . 「貪」會引發傷…

防落坑里，不貪便宜。
.
「貪」會引發傷害。。 。
有同修問我：「怎樣讓我的股票不跌呢？」　

我說：
「就像海水，你坐在海岸邊上，海水隨時漲起來，隨時消下去。這個就叫做自然規律。股票市場也是這樣，因為那麼多人參與的本身，它就形成了個人無法操控的一個現象。就像海一樣，它已經脫離了某一個人的操控，所以它隨時起起落落。
因此，要想不在股票市場上輸，就不要買。

所以我們做事情要能『不貪』，不貪就會贏，貪就會虧。舍才能得。見好趕快收，很簡單的道理。那為什麼會虧呢？貪心太大。」

Do not be caught up in our own greed and fall into a pit

(Greed) can be detrimental…

A practitioner asked me: “ How do I ensure my stock prices do not fall?”

I replied:
“Just like the tides, when you sit on a coast near the ocean, you will notice constant tidal fluctuations. This is the law of nature. The same applies to the stock market. Many people participate in the stock market and there are many different factors affecting stock prices. Stock prices are definitely not within anyone’s control, just like the tides. Hence, do not buy any stock if you do not wish to suffer losses in the stock market.

When we are doing things, do not let our greed get the better of us. We will not suffer a loss if we are not greedy. Excessive greed eventually destroys us. In order to gain, we must be willing to give.

We must have the wisdom to know when to stop pursuing for more gains when we are still in a winning position and not continue to let ourselves be pushed by our greed into a pit. Though this is a simple principle that is easily understood, many people still continue to suffer losses. Why is that so? Because of greed; the desire to gain more.”

看見幸福的臉龐…

練習快樂，才會健康！
「所謂的業力就是過去所有錯誤的積累，業力一旦出現，有很多關就跨不過去，但如果功德具足，就能跨越障礙。」
.
人生，是不容易的，每個人都為了三餐溫飽勞碌奔波，還要面對生、老、病、死折騰人的重重關卡，而修行禪法、學佛，可以幫助我們用正確的態度來面對這一切，可以給我們帶來解脫的「智慧」和「能量」。
因為，人生只有這一次，我們需要更認真來學習如何快樂？然後變得健康又幸福！讓我們一起來聽聽「李小妹」的感人故事。。。
.
來自溫哥華的李小妹:
過去我與父親之間有些不愉快，心中對父親有過埋怨。身體也因為常常積累情緒而變得不好，有些內出血的症狀。
一次的機會，我來報名禪修課程，聽到了師父說:「對父母知恩不圖報會有惡業伴隨你的。」我很震驚，才驚覺到自己這些日子對父母的態度，從小我的父母親非常疼愛我，他們千辛萬苦把我養育成人，並將我培養成一個醫學博士，而我不但沒感恩父母，還對父親心懷成見，常與父親頂撞。現在想想，簡直就是一個小人。
.
後來又聽到師父說:「我就是來幫人的，要幫小人變成大人，幫大人變成聖人。」我想師父沒有放棄我，我要改正，要好好修行。
一回到家，我就給遠隔重洋的父親打了個問候的電話，父親非常欣慰，感動得熱淚盈眶，我的淚水也止不住的流，父女倆多年的心結終於解開了。
.
心結解開了，心情也隨之改變了，每天出門，我看到的天空是份外的藍，份外的潔淨與清新，花兒是如此的美艷，小鳥的叫聲也是格外的悅耳動聽。
.
最重要的是，通過「念佛」和修練「大光明」，我的大出血好了。原來身上被包裹著的一層硬殼，也一層層地剝落了，渾身輕鬆柔軟了。
感動、感恩，與輕鬆，這樣的狀態是我從未有過的體驗，我也要學習將這份喜悅繼續傳下去，引領更多正受著身心疾病折磨的人，也與我一樣變得快樂又健康。

Saw a Face of Happiness…

Practice being happy in order to be healthy!
“What we know about karma is that’s its an accumulation of all the mistakes we have made in the past. The moment karma manifests, there will be a lot of obstacles obstructing our way forward. However, we can easily overcome these obstacles if we have accumulated sufficient merits and virtues.”

Life is never easy. Not only do we have to toil to feed ourselves, we also have to worry about the challenges faced during the four stages of life – birth, old age, sickness and death. Practicing dharma and meditation brings us the wisdom and energy to liberate ourselves and to face those challenges with a positive mindset.

We only have one chance at this life. We should use this opportunity to learn to be happy, which will help us become healthy and blissful! Let us listen to the touching story of how Xiaomei Li found her happiness…

Xiaomei Li from Vancouver:
I used to bear resentment towards my father due to the quarrels we had in the past. The accumulation of negative emotions in my body caused my health to take a turn for the worse some time back and I began to show symptoms of internal hemorrhage.

One day, when I was at the center to register for meditation class, I happened to hear Master say: “Ingratitude towards your parents will cause bad karma to befall you.” This astounded me and made me realize how poor my attitude has been towards my parents. They love me a lot. They have gone through a lot of hardship to bring me up and put me through school to get my medical doctorate. Yet I have never felt gratitude towards them. I even harbored prejudices against my own father, and rebutted him frequently. Come to think about it, I have been really petty.

Not long after that, I also heard Master say: “I am here to help people; to help petty people become magnanimous, and to help magnanimous people become saints.” Knowing that Master will not give up on me gave me the determination to correct my wrongdoings and to persevere in my practice.

The moment I reached home that day, I made a long distance call to my father. He was gratified by my concern, and was so touched that tears filled his eyes. I couldn’t stop my own tears too. The unhappiness that has lived in my heart for so many years melted away in that instant.

From then on, my mood improved. Whenever I am out, I cannot help but admire the sky that is so blue. The air smelled especially clean and fresh. The flowers are so vibrantly beautiful. Even the birds’ songs are especially pleasant to the ears.

Through chanting and practicing the Meditation of Greater Illumination, my internal hemorrhage was cured. The hard shell that has wrapped around me felt off layer by layer and I became more relaxed and at peace.

I have never felt so touched, grateful and relaxed in my life. I realized there are many other people who are suffering from mental and physical ailments in this world. I would like to learn to spread this joy to them and help them achieve happier and healthier lives.
