過年啦!過年啦!

今年除夕夜我在溫哥華和當地的同修,以及世界各地的網友們一同團圓、慶祝新年。

溫哥華的同修準備了豐盛的年夜飯,以及好看的歌舞表演,配合著外面飄揚的絮雪,節日的氣氛可濃厚了!

也很開心能與世界各地的朋友在網路上一同真誠念佛,為新年祈福。
當新年的鐘聲敲響,我们一起恭敬禮佛,上頭香,祈請諸佛菩薩加持,希望新的一年大家都能身體健康,天天笑得開心,過得幸福!

願天下風調雨順、五穀豐登,國泰民安、世界和平!

#新春 #除夕團圓 #上頭香 #世界和平

It’s New Year!
On New Year’s Eve, I celebrated with fellow practitioners from Vancouver and netizens around the world.
They prepared a sumptuous reunion dinner, and some songs and dance performances. Together with the snowfall outside, the festive atmosphere was strong!
I am also very happy to be able to chant to my friends from around the world on the Internet and pray for blessings for the New Year.
As we usher into the New Year, we pay respect to the Buddha, offer incense, and pray for blessings. I hope that everyone will be healthy and happy in the new year!
May there be favorable weather, abundant harvest, countries prospers, and world peace!

【與神同行】謊言地獄 . 看電影有新思路…

【與神同行】謊言地獄
.
看電影有新思路…
部分國家已火紅上映第二部,還沒去看的朋友們可以先來回顧一下第一部劇情吧!一起來聽聽「天上地上,無不探索」青年人的探討,歡迎大家也說說你的看法。。。
.
接下來我們要討論的是_謊言地獄
.
前兩天發出的討論中,提到的已故消防員隊友,留下了一個女兒,主角_金自鴻不忍心看小女孩從小就沒了父親,便以父親的口吻寫信給小女孩,讓小女孩以為父親還在世的希望,故審判官判他偽造文書(即說謊),表示如果當小女孩發現這些信都是假的,那就會造成更大的傷害。
.
陰間使者辯護道:「金自鴻寫信給小女孩,是因為孩子的年齡實在是太小了不能缺少父愛!」
.
審判官為了確認金自鴻的罪行,更調閱出他歷年的偽造文書,竟然多達上百封,令現場所有人瞠目結舌⋯⋯當審判官要敲板定案,判決金自鴻必須到「穿越劍林」受刑,所有樹葉皆由刀劍造成,穿過劍林時刀刃會刺穿身體,但傷口會迅速癒合,再重複穿越劍林,如此不斷循環受苦。
.
陰間使者著急地做出最後辯護:「他不間斷的寫信鼓勵小女孩,是要她學會獨立生活,給女孩成長的信心,一直到孩子長大成年,也開始懂事了,女孩漸漸明白這些年來的信其實不是父親寫的,雖然她心中非常的失落,但也因為這些年以為是父親的鼓勵,她成了一個獨立又全方位的女孩!請審判官看看他努力的最終結果再裁決吧!」
.
使者繼續說:「還有金自鴻因為怕久病的母親厭世,欺騙母親說自己有個幸福美滿的家庭,說自己過得非常幸福。反之…如果他誠實的告知母親,讓母親知道兒子為了幫自己籌醫藥費,每天生存在危險關頭,母親的病還能痊癒嗎?並且,人們因為有這些失落挫折感,反而能得到更大的成長不是嗎。」
.
審判官用業鏡看了現在的小女孩,和金自鴻的母親,她們過得非常平靜、幸福的生活,好像這些波折從未發生過,女孩也因為明白了整個事情的原由,更以父親壯烈犧牲的義勇精神為榮,女孩也想效法父親的精神,做個社會中有用的人。
.
業鏡到此,每個人都動容了!審判官若有所悟地做出金自鴻「無罪」的最終判決⋯⋯
.
想想,也許每個人的一生當中難免都有說過謊言,是善意的也好,惡意的也罷,主要還是看你說這個謊言的主要的目的是為何?如果是惡意的、刻意欺瞞、為己之私,讓他人受到不公平的待遇或傷害,請選擇不要去做。
.
如果有人會因你的誠實而受到傷害,在兩權相害取其輕之下,就選擇傷害較小的抉擇吧!
.
這個章節說明了:「原來善意的謊言也會被納入審判範圍!除非你有完整的理由來解釋說謊的動機;並且,結果必須為被騙者帶來絕對的正面效果,否則也會被判官質疑:即便你的出發點為善意謊言,給受騙者帶來傷害,就必須判為有罪!」

請聊一聊你的想法…
.
你是否認同主角金自鴻的作法,或你是男主角你會怎樣做!
1.覺得欺騙的背後動機比看到的事實還重要?
2.善意的謊言終究還是個謊言,應該要接受處罰??
.
敬請期待續集_天倫地獄……

Insights through watching the movie…
Some countries have already released the second part of the movie. Those that have yet to watch it can recap the first part of the movie. Let’s listen to the discussion among young people about the movie. I welcome all to share your opinion….

Now, let us discuss the Hell of Deceit.

In our discussion 2 days ago, we mentioned that the protagonist Kim Ja-Hong’s fellow firefighter had passed on, leaving behind a daughter. Kim could not bear to see the little girl being fatherless at such a young age and hence decided to forge letters to her by writing in the style of her father so as to give her hope that her father was alive. However, the judge in the underworld accused the protagonist of forgery (and deceit), saying that if the little girl were to discover that the letters she received were all fake, she would be heartbroken and felt even more hurt.

Kim’s defendant in the underworld argued “Kim Ja-Hong wrote to the little girl because she was too young and couldn’t do without paternal love!”

In order to sentence the crimes that Kim Ja-hong commuted, the judge read out the documents that Kim had forged throughout the years, totaling to more than a hundred, much to the surprise of everyone at the scene. Eventually, the judge delivered his verdict. Kim was sentenced to cross the razor-sharp and dangerous Jin Lian forest where its leaves are as swords. When one passes through the forest, the leaf blades will pierce through his body but the wound will heal quickly and then the cycle repeats, piercing the person again and again, causing much pain and suffering.

The underworld defendant made an urgent plea to the judge: “Kim constantly writes letters to encourage the little girl so as to give her the confidence to grow up independently. As the little girl grows older and became more mature, she begun to understand that the letters were not written by her father. Although she felt very disappointed, she had blossomed into a confident, independent and well-rounded lady due to the encouragement from Kim’s letters. Your honor, please take into account the final result of his letters and then decide on his sentence! ”

The underworld defendant continued, “The protagonist also sent messages to his chronically sick mother. In his letters, he lied that he had a blissful and loving family and felt very contented. If he were to tell his mother the truth that he was working dangerous jobs to pay for her medical bills, would his mother have recovered from her illness as quickly? It is due to these setbacks and failures that humankind learn how to grow and recover from them successfully.”

The judge used the karma mirror to see that the little girl and Kim’s mother were leading peaceful and blissful lives, as if the incident had never occurred. In addition, as the little girl understood the whole situation, she is inspired by her father’s courageous and heroic sacrifice and hope to continue her father’s spirit to be a productive member of the society.

At this point, everyone was very touched by Kim’s actions! The judge made an enlightened decision and declared Kim ‘not guilty’ as his final verdict.

Let’s give it some thought. Perhaps, all of us have told a lie at least once during our lifetime. Whether the lie is good or evil is dependent on your purpose of telling the lie. If you had evil intentions and lied for the purpose of deliberately deceiving just so you stand to benefit and in the process cause injustice or harm to the other party, please choose not to do it.

If someone is hurt due to your honesty, between the two evils, choose the one that will cause lesser harm!

This section illustrated that we will also be prosecuted on our white lies unless the motive of lying can be justified and it brings positive result to the other party. Otherwise, we will be questioned even though the motive was good, but it caused harm to the other party, you will also be found guilty.

Please share your thoughts regarding this matter….

Do you agree with the protagonist Kim Ja-Hong’s approach? Or if you were the actor, what would you do if you were in his situation!

1. Do you think that the motivation for lying is more important than the facts you see?
2. Lying with good intentions is still a lie after-all. Should it be punished?

Stay tuned for the next episode – Along with the Gods: Familial Morality…
