【不聽不知道】
───你不知道的因與果？
.
天地間的因果循環之道，在佛教被稱為「因果法則」，在科學被叫做「自然法則」。無論是哪一種學說，他的概念都離不開「種瓜得瓜，種豆得豆」的循環之理。
.
有許多人們都有過種植過花草的經驗，當一粒種子被種下，它所帶來的獲益，將會是以倍數的成長，一傳十，十傳百，代代相傳。而不僅僅只是一粒種子、收穫一顆果實了。
.
想想，一粒好的種子收益尚且是如此。
那麼，如果種下的是不好的種子呢？
.
所以，我們要想收穫生命的陽光與幸福，
就需要種下陽光和幸福的種子。
請記得，「要想怎麼收穫，就要怎麼栽！」

歡迎一起來聽聽【不聽不知道】───你不知道的因與果？

甲魚的報恩
.
「種善因，得善果。」

無論你現在過得是否幸福，聽我來說個令人感動的故事吧。。。

我姓李，我的丈夫是當地農業局局長。
.
有一年過年，先生收到一位客人送來一隻大甲魚。我記得菩提弟子有個戒律，師父要求我們不能吃龜、蛇、狗，所以我們夫妻就不吃養著。養了幾個月，甲魚生了五粒可愛的小魚蛋，經常來串門子的客人就說，這甲魚湯喝起來可特別鮮美，若能和著魚蛋一起熬煮，那可真是人間美味啊，他們就想著要喝魚湯，我和先生聽了卻只是笑笑說：「還是養著好。」
.
那一年，咱們地區發生嚴重的大旱，好幾個月不下雨，田裡種的麥子、禾苗，都黃了，地也都裂了。有一天傍晚，我跟老公出門散步時，看到災情慘重，都很難過，我就向先生提議說：「咱們可不可以把甲魚放生了，咱們啥也不求，就求牠給咱們下一場雨吧。」先生想想：「也沒別的辦法了，就試試看吧！」
.
第二天一大早，天還沒亮，我們就把把那條甲魚，和五顆甲魚蛋，用大手絹給包起來兜著，去附近的一個水庫放生，因為白天放的話，怕被人家給抓了去。我們將甲魚放生後，因為擔心魚蛋會被其他的魚兒吃掉，就在水庫旁找了一塊沙地，把魚蛋埋到沙地裡等待孵化。完事之後，夫妻倆高高興興地就回家了。
.
沒有多久，也就幾天的時間，大家猜怎麼了？下雨了，傾盆大雨啊，大雨紮紮實實地下了一場，下的透透的。非常奇妙的是，這場傾盆大雨，就只下在老公作為局長管轄的區域內，其他鄰村，鄰旁的縣城照樣乾旱沒有一滴雨。
還有更好玩的是，沒過幾天，我就做了個夢。夢到甲魚媽媽帶著她的五個小寶寶來感謝我，跳舞給我看，感謝我的不殺之恩。夢醒之後，我覺得怎麼這麼真實呢，就好像真的發生在我眼前一樣，我看看表，時間還不到五點，天已經開始濛濛地亮起來了，我起身走出院子想做早課，大門一打開，很驚奇地發現，在家大門前的沙地上，有很多的小腳印，一個一個的，好像真有小動物在那裡跳舞留下的痕跡。信不信由你！
.

大家看完這個故事，是不是覺得很神奇呢？其實，這些因果故事太多了，在咱們師兄姐自己身上的就有很多。這就是所謂的因果自然法則，萬物皆有情，種善因得善果的道理。這位同修救了甲魚全家的性命，甲魚也用這樣奇特的方式來回報、感謝她。

#FB直播、#不聽不知道、#魚的報恩、#跳舞、#解除旱災rnrnA Turtle’s Act of Gratitude
.
My family name is Li. The story below happened a few years ago.
.
I used to suffer from serious mental illness. Just how serious was it? My husband is the Director of Agriculture here, and often holds meetings. I would often sit naked outside the steps to his office to wait for him, without the slightest bit of embarrassment. My husband was totally embarrassed, but could do nothing despite trying all means to help me seek treatment for many years. Thus, so long as there’s a slight lapse in attention, I’d run about the streets in the buff, causing much distress to my husband.
.
Fortunately, my husband was introduced to Bodhi Meditation through a friend. Without much initial thought, I started the guided meditation practices. Remarkably, I gradually regained my sanity after practicing the methods and am now just like a normal person.
.
During a new year, my husband was gifted a large turtle by a visiting guest. I remembered that Bodhi Meditation disciples have a precept – master asked that we do not eat turtles, snakes and dogs. So we kept the turtle and did not eat it. After some months, the turtle laid five cute little eggs. The regular visitors all remarked that this turtle would serve as excellent and delicious fresh soup, especially with the eggs cooked together. They were all preoccupied thinking about the turtle soup while my husband and I only smiled and responded with “.. it’s better to just breed it.”
.
There was a serious drought in our area that year, with no rainfall for several months, causing the wheat and seedlings in the field to all turn yellow. Even the ground cracked. One evening, as I went out for a stroll with my husband, I witnessed the severity of the crisis. Saddened, I turned to suggest to him, “.. shall we free the turtle? Let’s seek nothing in return, just pray that it brings us rain.” My husband thought, “Since there isn’t any other way, let’s just try it!”
.
The next morning before day break, we placed the turtle and its five eggs in a large handkerchief, wrapped them carefully and moved them to a nearby reservoir to release. We were concerned that the turtle would be captured if this was done in broad daylight. After releasing the turtle, we buried the turtle eggs at a sandy pit by the bank for fear that the eggs would be eaten by fishes. After that, we left for home happily.
.
Not long after, within the next few days, can any one guess what happened? Rain! Torrential rain poured for a solid session. It was a truly thorough downpour. The remarkable sight was the downpour occurred only within the jurisdiction managed by my husband. The other neighboring villages including those adjacent to the county remained dry with nary a drop of rain.
.
To add to the fun, I had a dream a few days after. In it, the turtle mother brought her five little babies to thank me. They even danced in a show of gratitude for not killing them. I awoke from the dream, marveling at how surreal it was, as if it happened before my eyes. Glancing at the time, I realized it was barely 5am, and the day had just begun to brighten hazily. I got up to go out to the yard for my early practice. As I opened the door, I was very surprised to find that there were many small footprints in the sand pit at the front of the house. Well-spaced out, they resembled the prints left by little animals which had been dancing there. Believe it or not, I’ll leave that to you!
.
In fact, there are countless cause-and-effect stories. They all happened in the lives of our fellow Dharma brothers and sisters. This is the typical causal law of nature. All sentient beings are inherently kind, and the principle that one reaps benevolence with the planting of a benevolent seed holds true. This fellow practitioner had saved the lives of a family and in return, experienced the miraculous events which followed, due to the turtles being grateful and repaying their gratitude.

天理昭彰，疏而不漏。 。 。

今天是農曆七月初一，是個吉祥而友善的日子。
我來說個頗令人省思的故事吧！
這是紐約一個同修的真實故事….
.
—————————————————————————
這是住在紐約的一個同修—-秀蘭(化名)，她說:「小時候因為家裡比較貧困，父母就以養豬、賣豬為業，以維持家計。有一次，一頭黑豬媽媽生了一窩豬寶寶，其中有一頭豬，長得跟其他兄弟姊妹不一樣，牠的毛色是全白的，唯有肚皮生了一圈黑黑的毛，就像是戴著一條黑腰帶，非常的特別，後來一窩豬寶寶陸續都賣掉了，就剩這一頭白豬，賣了好多次就是賣不掉，大家都傳言說:『從沒見過這樣的豬，是不吉利的象徵！』沒有人敢買。
.
我(秀蘭)有兩個弟弟，我是老大，母親當時正好又懷著三弟，正好也面臨著生產，母親生完三弟後，為了做個好月子，心裡想著吃補品，但是因為家裡窮，就想:『這隻白豬既然賣不掉，乾脆把牠給殺了，做補品吧！』
.
這天，母親請了大伯來家裡幫忙殺豬、燉補，大伯就在院子裡準備殺豬，母親在房裡聽到小豬吱哇亂叫的聲音，忍不住的把剛出生的三弟(BABY)交給了我(秀蘭)，從房裡衝出去幫忙大伯一起殺豬，我(秀蘭)抱著三弟，聽到院子傳來被殺小豬，那淒厲的慘叫聲，嚇得躲在房間裡緊緊抱著三弟，後來，外面的聲音停止了，豬的慘叫聲沒有了，等我(秀蘭)再回過頭來看她懷裡的弟弟，怎麼也不動了？沒氣了！！
.
媽媽幫忙殺豬完回來後，抱過來一看，弟弟早已沒了氣息，原來這個豬被殺的當場，三弟也同時死在姐姐的懷裡頭了。這是多麼令人扼腕的結果。。。
.
所謂禍不單行，福無雙至，這還不算完…..
.
我(秀蘭)的大弟，年紀大約十七歲，特別聰明、貼心、孝順，長得也很漂亮，每天晚上都會幫父母打洗腳水、洗腳、做飯啊，家裡的活兒搶著做，各個方面都是很優秀的。所以，家裡雖然不是太富裕，父母就是想方設法積攢錢，要送大弟去日本留學，圖個好未來。
.
這一年呢，大弟的學費差不多湊夠了，學校也聯繫好了，好不容易地辦完各種繁雜手續，就等著準備九月份去日本留學。這時候，也是大弟最後一個可以留在家中，陪伴父母的暑假，因為再一個多月，他就要前往日本讀書了，大弟非常乖巧，就去大伯的西瓜地裡幫忙摘西瓜，但是，大弟走進了西瓜地就再也沒有出來了。
.
大家猜怎麼了？大弟莫名被電死在西瓜地裡。媽媽聽到這個惡訊之後，當場就瘋了，舉凡吃飯、睡覺，生活再也不能自理，每天瘋瘋癲癲的，就知道往村裡一間觀音廟裡跑，整天就在那裡跪著念觀音聖號、懺悔。』
.

故事說完了，大家有否深切體會??
所以，因果業報的可怕就是如此，希望大家跟著我修習佛法，禪法，快速地開啟智慧與能量，明白因果的自然法則，對因果有敬畏之心，斷惡修善。最後祝福大家，智慧、健康、幸福、快樂！

#20170518、 #FB直播、 #不聽不知道rnrnThe heavenly law manifest justice; there is no way of escape.
Today is the 1st day of the lunar 7th month, an auspicious and friendly day.
Let me share with you a thought-provoking story!
It is a real life story from a Bodhi practitioner in New York.
—————————————————————
I live in New York—my name is Xiulan (a pseudonym). My family was very poor when we were growing up. My parents made a living from rearing pigs. Once, a female black pig gave birth to a litter of piglets. One of them looked very different from its other siblings. Its hair was all white except for some curly black hair at the belly area which seemed like the piglet was wearing a black belt around it’s belly. Subsequently, all the piglets were sold except for this white piglet. Xiulan’s family tried selling it multiple times but was unsuccessful. There was a rumor going around: “Never seen such a pig before, it symbolizes inauspiciousness!” As a result, no one dared to buy this white piglet.
Xiulan had two younger brothers and she was the eldest child. Her mother was then pregnant with her third younger brother who was due for birth soon. After the birth of Xiulan’s third younger brother, the mother thought of slaughtering the white pig for consumption since they were not able to sell it off and she was in her confinement and needed nourishment.
On that particular day, Xiulan’s mother sought the help of Xiulan’s uncle to slaughter the white pig to make stewed soup. As Xiulan’s uncle was preparing to slaughter the pig in the courtyard, her mother heard the pig wailing and screaming from the room where she was resting. She handed her baby, Xiulan’s younger brother, to Xiulan and proceed to help Xiulan’s uncle with the slaughtering of the pig. While Xiulan carried her new-born brother in her arms, she heard the wailing scream of the pig as it was being slaughtered and was so afraid that she hid in the room holding her brother tightly. Subsequently, there was only silence. When Xiulan recovered from the agony, she discovered that her baby brother was no longer moving and breathing in her arms!!
When her mother returned to take the baby from Xiulan, she was distraught to discover that her new-born had stopped breathing. Apparently, her baby died in his sister’s arms when the pig was being killed. This is such a tragic outcome…
As the saying goes, misfortune does not come in singles and blessings never come in doubles; hence, this is not the end yet……
When Xiulan’s second younger brother was seventeen years old, he was an extremely intelligent, considerate, filial and good-looking son. Every night, he would prepare water for his parents to soak and wash their feet, prepare dinner and helped with house chores. He was an all rounder in all areas. Hence, though Xiulan’s family was not very well off, her parents tried to save money to send her brother for studies in Japan, hoping he could have a bright future.
Xiulan’s family finally managed to save enough money to send her brother overseas for study. All the administrative work for university enrollment had been done and the entire family was just looking forward for her brother to leave for Japan in September. As he was leaving in a month’s time, it would be his last summer holiday spent with his parents at home. Being a very sensible boy, he went to help his uncle harvests watermelons in his plantation. However, her brother never return from the plantation alive.
Do you know what happened? Xiulan’s brother was electrocuted in the watermelon plantation. When her mother heard about the dire news, she lost her mind on the spot.
From then on, Xiulan’s mother could no longer take care of herself in her daily life. She behaved like a lunatic and would run to the Guanyin temple in their village regularly to chant the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva to repent on her past sins.
Therefore, this is the scary truth of the law of cause and effect. I hope that as you learn and practice Buddha dharma with me, it can help accelerate and increase your energy and wisdom, so you will not be lost in the cycle of karma (cause and effect). May you grow in wisdom and health, and enjoy joy and happiness!
