【九月台曆】佛前點燈,黑暗變光明。 . …
【九月台曆】佛前點燈,黑暗變光明。
.
《菩薩藏經》中說:「百千燈明,懺除悔罪」。《華嚴經》也說:「慧燈可以破諸暗。」 這些經典中的記載,都說明在佛前供燈可以消除累世罪業,破除一切黑暗。下面給大家說個故事…
.
有個盜賊,路過一間寺廟,起了歹念,他想﹕「這間廟香火鼎盛,寺裡肯定有不少值錢東西,進去偷一把,都勝過我偷十戶人家。」便躡手躡腳地潛進寺廟裡,進了大殿,正好看見佛前的燈燭歪了一邊,就快傾倒熄滅了,盜賊深怕這燭一倒,恐怕要引燃一場大火,他趕緊用長刀把燈扶正,忽然印入眼簾的是一尊光明耀眼的佛像,盜賊肅然起敬,心生慚愧,便放棄了偷盜。
.
盜賊因為一個善念,把即將傾倒的燈燭扶正,避免了一場大火的福報,此後生生世世投生在善道,而且惡業漸滅,福報日增。最後他遇見了「釋迦牟尼佛」,隨佛出家修行,終於證得阿羅漢果。
.
而這名盜賊,就是釋迦牟尼佛十大弟子之一,天眼第一的「阿那律尊者」的前身。因為一念善心,扶正佛前燈燭,就能獲得如此無量福報功得,更何況發心供養佛菩薩,這一份供燈福報功德不可思量。
.
佛於《布施經》還說明了,供燈有以下的福德:「施燈可得眼明福,施燈無老病福。」
.
為最愛的父親母親點盞燈吧,願他們都能老年無病痛,耳清目明,健康快樂,這是作為兒女能為他們盡的一份孝道。
.
故事改編自《譬喻經》第二卷。

【八月台曆】願望決定成就。
.
因為願望,所以產生智慧、產生動力,乃至產生知識;過程之中更產生魅力,並且實現了自我人生的價值。
.
一個做大事的人,他的思考非常廣闊!
.
有大願望大思維的人,是一個播種者,而不是收穫者。
例如﹕種一顆樹,有大思維的人,是為了給未來的子子孫孫與人們乘涼;而平凡的人只想著,我就砍下那顆樹,拿來做凳子、做桌子,或是用來當柴燒。
.
所以,擁有大願望、大理想的人,遇到煩惱的事情不會永遠煩惱下去,因為他更懂得看到煩惱背後的喜悅,勇敢向困難挑戰並且解決問題。
.
大思維者的境界,是跨越時空的概念,乃至穿越事物的障礙。這就是一個「成功者」非常重要的特質。

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!

?雪白季節裡的溫暖__大耳婆婆?
.
.
傳說,擁有一頭漂亮金髮的老婆婆,有兩只非常可愛而美麗的大耳朵,它是用來聆聽孩子們的願望。他的工作是,為全世界的孩子們圓滿願望,並且送去禮物,他的願望是:「看見全世界的孩子們,燦爛、天真的笑容,並且幸福的沈睡夢鄉。」
.
而大小孩子們都喜愛的「聖誕老人」願望是怎麼來的呢?
在數千年前的_斯堪納維亞島中,一個風雪交加的聖誕夜裡,有一對饑寒交迫的小男孩,因為大雪覆蓋天地好幾個月了,家家戶戶緊鎖門戶,糧食更顯得珍貴,他一路走一路敲門,卻不見善心的人家願意給他一口飯吃,當他覺得自己將要被凍死的時候,突然面前出現了一個大耳婆婆,接待他吃了一頓豐盛的聖誕晚餐,還貼心的為小男孩準備溫暖的寢具,隔日大雪竟奇蹟似的停了。
.
臨走前,大耳婆婆特別折了一根杉樹枝送給他,並叮囑說:「你找個肥沃的土地將它種下吧,並且細心地呵護它,他將會長成一顆非常美麗的小樹,年年此日,將會禮物滿枝,但是你必須繼續完成我的願望,為所有跟你一樣,需要幫助的孩子們送去溫暖,為他們圓滿願望。」
.
原來那位大耳婆婆,是千手千眼_觀世音菩薩的化身,而那個小男孩,就是現在的聖誕老公公。
.
後來許多受到大耳婆婆幫助的孩子們長大了,他們也都立志要成為聖誕老人的化身,聖誕節的溫暖氛圍從此流傳下來,千古不衰,甚至化身成千千萬萬的聖誕老人!
.
因此,每年的12月,聖誕老人都會灑下漫天的雪花與祝福 ,並且送出禮物 ?給孩子們,從此許多孩子們再也不受飢凍所苦了。
因為,這就是佛的願望。。。
.
最後,祝福大家:
在這個美麗的季節裡都能收穫滿滿,幸福、快樂!
「 ❄ ❄ ❄聖 誕 節 快 樂 ❄ ❄ ❄」

讚是一種鼓勵,分享是最好的支持。

Warmth in snowy white season- Big ear granny
.
According to legend, there was a granny with beautiful golden hair. She had a pair of attractive big ears to listen to the wishes of children from all over the world.
.
Her job was to fulfil the dreams and wishes of children by sending them presents. Her wish: (to see radiant and happy smiles on the innocent faces of all children and ensure they go to bed with pleasant dreams.)
.
How does the wish of Santa Claus (children’s all-time favourite character) come about?
.
Few thousand years ago at an island of Scandinavia, on a snowy and windy Christmas night , there was a little boy who was feeling very hungry and cold. Due to a few months of heavy snow, every household locked their houses and windows tightly to keep out the cold and food was precious and rare. As the boy walked on the street, he knocked on each door, hoping that some kind soul would offer him warm food. However, no one offered him and he continued to remain hungry. Just when he was about to freeze to death, a granny with big ears appeared in front of him. The granny offered him a sumptuous Christmas dinner and thoughtfully prepared a warm mattress and blanket for the night. On the very next day, the snow miraculously stopped.
.
Before the boy left, big ear granny gave him a redwood branch and instructed him: “Find a fertile land to grow this redwood branch. Look after it well and it will grow into a beautiful tree. On this day of every year, the tree will be filled with presents. However, I have one condition: you must help to fulfil my dream by giving out warmth and hope to children like yourself and others who needed help, make their wishes come true.”
.
Apparently the big ear granny was the incarnation of Thousand Hands Thousand Eyes Guanyin Bodhisattva and the little boy was Santa Claus.
.
Subsequently, children who received help from big ear granny grew up and aspired to be incarnation of Santa Claus. From then on, this heart-warming tradition of Christmas passed down over generations and manifest in the form of thousands and millions of Santa Claus!
.
Since then, on the December of every year, Santa Claus would sprinkle glittering brilliance and wishes to fill the entire sky and send out presents to children. Thanks to Santa Claus, children no longer suffer from hunger and bitter cold. All this is possible because it is the wish of Buddha….
.
Lastly, may all receive bountiful returns on Christmas and lead a happy and fulfilling life!
.
Merry Christmas !!

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.

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.
