如何守住福氣，成為世代富有的人？
.
曾經，我在美國遇過一位不到三十歲的年輕人，非常聰明，家教很好。他的父親留給他一筆數目不小的財產，他也在美國經營一家很大的公司，一年的利潤能達到一千萬美金。
.
可是這個小夥子生活卻非常克難，穿的鞋都是帶補丁的，吃飯的時候，哪個地方便宜去哪兒吃。手錶是他爸爸留給他的那種老上海錶，我瞧他的錶裡都進去不少汗了。之後才發現，這麼樸素的一個人，原來幹了一件天大的荒唐事——他每三個月就去一次賭城。他身為一間公司大老闆卻窮得慌，他跑來找我…
.
他說：「師父啊，您能不能贈我一句話？」
我就給他寫了一幅字：「辛辛苦苦為賭城賺錢。」
我說：「你對賭城很忠誠！」
他哭著問我：「如何守住自己的福氣？」
我告訴他：「除了戒賭以外，還需要戒貪，並且為自己多積些福德，這份福氣才能長久，否則富不過三代呀！！」
.
也許，很多人並沒賭博，但是在忙碌的生活中，很多的行為上、言語中，不知不覺卻漏了福德，咱們要會賺錢，更要會「守財」，福氣才能真正是咱們的！
.
那麼要如何做，才能讓這份福氣留下來呢？
.
本週六，歡迎大家一起來聊聊《修行的要點》，探討如何留住福氣、讓世代子孫都成為世代富有的人？最後祝福朋友們吉祥、健康、幸福、自在！

How to keep blessing and fortune for future generations?
.
Once, I met a young man less than thirty of age in the United States. He was very smart and had good upbringing. His father left him a sizable fortune and he managed a large organization in the United States with yearly profits exceeding ten million dollars.
.
But this fellow led a tough life. He worn patched shoes and only patronized cheap food outlets. His watch was an old Shanghai watch his father left him. I could literally see sweat in his watch. Later on, I discovered this young man actually did a great deal of absurd things — visiting casino once every three months. He was a company boss, but he was so poor that he came to me.
.
He asked, “Master, can you give some advice?”
I wrote him Chinese calligraphy, “Working hard to earn money for casino” and said to him, “You are very loyal to the casino!”
He cried and asked me, “How do I hold on to my fortune?”
I said to him, “You need to stop gambling and stop being greedy. Try to accumulate merit for yourself so that you can enjoy longer fortune. Otherwise, your wealth will not last beyond three generations!”
.
Perhaps many people do not gamble. But in their busy life, merit is lost unknowingly through their inappropriate actions and words. Though it is important for us to earn money, it is even more important for us to retain wealth. Only then will fortune truly belong to us!
.
So what can be done to keep this fortune?
.
In this Saturday, we will discuss “The Keys to Buddhist Practice” and explore how we can pass on such fortune to our descendants and future generations.
Finally, I wish all my friends — luck, health, happiness and peace!
.
Like is a form of encouragement, share is the best support.
?More sharing, more blessings!?
