《分享》送給孩子最珍貴的禮物
.
分享一個網友發給我的真實故事….
相信，孩子不只是個孩子，孩子也許是來與你學習，共同成長的小仙女、小菩薩。
.
————————————————————————————————
前幾天看到師父發的一則帖子說：「把孩子交給佛菩薩，菩薩會教他做人，給他指路，給他呵護！這是送給孩子最珍貴的禮物。」我心裡的感觸非常強烈！
.
我家寶貝女兒天生好強，好似遺傳著我的基因，小小年紀便要去闖世界，離開舒適的家，離開美麗的溫哥華，去到零下三十多度的加拿大東部。學期快結束時，女兒又告訴我，假期想去非洲當援助者。我心想：「一個十八歲的小姑娘，要去非洲？」(當時的我聽到後非常害怕)
.
第一年，女兒因為帶著工作前去，每週20小時打工、修了五門功課，有時只睡4.5個小時，但也熬下來了，我心裡還真捨不得。
.
很巧的是，她剛進入大學的時候，我也同時進入了「菩提禪修」這所綜合性的大學！
情急之下，我求助於禪堂的老師，讓老師給女兒開導開導！要離開時，剛巧瞥見大廳上掛著師父的法像。我一個念頭：「我既無才又無財，不能貢獻些什麼。那麼就將我最寶貴的女兒，送給佛菩薩吧。」
.
非常感恩，通過老師的引導，解開女兒要闖天下的心結。
『因為女兒覺得世界太黑暗，太多人們生活在貧困線以下，少數人掌握金錢，並且不斷在剝削貧苦的人們。她要去看看非洲的人是生活在怎樣的條件下！她因此不想讀書，因為不願成為少數富商的賺錢工具與機器。』
.
老師告訴女兒：「要想改變貧困，只有靠教育！妳將來可以選擇服務的方向！去幫助那些貧困地區的人們！」女兒於是明白了自己的方向。
.
第一年暑假，女兒申請了政府資助，為期十個星期的「學生計畫」。
得到的結論是，她說：「媽媽，人光有興趣愛好是不夠的！一定要有一個可以養活自己的本領！」我相信這是佛菩薩給女兒的引領，教導她的生存之道。
.
第二年暑假，女兒又報名了「瓜地馬拉」45天的支援者。
舉凡機票、捐款、生活費，一切費用都由她自理，沒花一點我的錢。我感動莫明啊！女兒真的長大了，也獨立了！
想想從前，女兒是大家手掌心裡的寶，沒有吃過苦，更沒過過苦日子，而現在竟然能在雞、鴨群裡自在晃悠，還可以無動於衷的吃飯！看著女兒很快地適應生活、適應環境、並且幫助建路、教學等⋯我再次的感恩佛菩薩，幫我教導女兒成為這麼乖巧又懂事的品格優秀者。
.
第三年的暑假，女兒帶我去了中美洲「哥斯大黎加」旅遊。
我就像回到和女兒一樣的年紀，享受著一片自然、沒有破壞的土地，淳樸的民情。我體驗了當鳥飛翔的感覺！風在耳邊呼呼響。
「空中纜繩、漂流、原始森林中騎馬看日落，聽著尼加拉瓜女總統的故事游活火山…等。」
這是我夢裡都沒敢想的生活，竟然是女兒幫我完成的夢想～～
.
女兒大學四年結束時，護照上已留下了滿滿近十個中美洲國家、地區的輝煌印記！
.
感恩佛菩薩讓孩子瞭解世界，了解環保的理念，最重要的是做人的道理。
現在我的女兒，在菩薩引領的歷練中，己經有了賺錢的本領，佛菩薩讓她知道她要的是什麼！我把原先準備好要供女兒讀大學的學費，恭恭敬敬地在佛前點上「祈福光明燈」～
願「佛光普照，讓女兒學業有成，服務社會，利益眾生！」
.
心中無限感恩！只因當時那一念，把孩子供養給了佛菩薩！這麼些年都非常順利，超出我的預期目標很遠很遠了！
現在想來，孩子是獨立的個體，根本不屬於我的私人財產，我還自以為是的把她送出去！但是我送對地方了！
.
因為有佛光指引！我和女兒的人生路上，總是走在最快速安全的道路上！
因為有師父和佛菩薩的加持和呵護！受益無限！無限感恩！

I’d like to share a true story by a netizen …
Believe that your child is not merely a kid, but a small fairy, or a little Bodhisattva who has come to learn together with you and grow along with you.

————————————————————————————-
A few days ago, I saw a post by Master”.. entrust your children to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. The Bodhisattvas will teach him how to be a good person, guide him on the right path, and shower him with care! This is the most precious gift for our children.” Hearing that, strong emotions welled up in my heart.
.
My precious daughter was born with a strong character, as if she’s inherited my genes. At a tender age, she’d aspired to conquer the world. She left the comfort of home and beautiful Vancouver to go to a place with – 30 degrees Celsius climate to the east of Canada. At the end of one school semester, she informed me that she’d like to go to Africa as a volunteer during the vacation. I’d thought, “An 18-year-old girl wanting to go to Africa?” (I was most fearful when I heard that).
.
During the first year, my daughter juggled between work and studies. Every week, she would work 20 hours and cover five academic subjects, sometimes sleeping only 4.5 hours. She did settle in but I was rather reluctant and my heart ached for her.
.
Coincidentally, my daughter entered the university at the same time that I had entered the “comprehensive university” of Bodhi Meditation!
.
Feeling very anxious and worried, I turned to the teacher at Bodhi Meditation to help enlighten my daughter! As we were leaving, we chanced upon Master’s portrait in the main hall. I had a thought, “I have no talent, and no wealth to contribute. Thus I will gift my most precious daughter to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas.”
.
I was immensely grateful that through the teacher’s guidance, the knot in my daughter’s heart to conquer the world was resolved.
“As my daughter felt that the world was too bleak, with too many people living below the poverty line, led by a small group of people that controlled the wealth by constantly exploiting the poor. She had wanted to go and witness the living conditions of Africans! As a result, she’d wanted to give up her studies as she did not want to become part of the small group of wealthy merchants’ money-making tools and machines.”
.
The teacher advised my daughter, “To change poverty, the only way is through education! You can choose your path of contribution in the future! And that is to help people in the poverty-prone places!”. My daughter thus realized her life purpose and path.
.
During the first summer vacation, my daughter applied for and joined a government-sponsored 10-week student program.
The conclusion was, she said, “Mom, it is not enough to be interested and passionate! People need to develop the ability to support themselves!” I believe this was the Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas’ guidance to my daughter, teaching her the way to survive.
.
During the second summer vacation, my daughter signed up for a 45-day volunteer project in Guatemala. She took care of all the tickets, donations, and living expenses, and did not use any of my money. I was touched beyond words! My daughter had really grown up and was also independent!
.
As we looked back, my daughter was the apple of our eyes and never experienced hardships and austerity. Yet now, she’s at ease tending to chickens and ducks, and having her meals spontaneously! Seeing that my daughter adapted quickly to the lifestyle, environment, helping with the building of roads, teaching etc., I extend my sincere gratitude to the Buddha and the Bodhisattvas for guiding her into becoming such a well-behaved, sensible and outstanding person.
.
During her third year summer vacation, my daughter brought me to Costa Rica in Central America on a trip.
It was like going back in time when I was my daughter’s age, enjoying the expanse of nature where there is no destruction of the land and when sentiments were wholesome. I experienced the ecstasy of flight like a bird, complete with wind swirling in the ear!
.
Zip-lining, rafting, horse-riding in the primeval forest while watching the sunset, listening to the narration by the female Nicaraguan president on her live volcanic exploits – these experiences were beyond my wildest dreams and unexpectedly, my daughter helped me fulfill them.
.
At the conclusion of my daughter’s four-year university curriculum, her passport had been gloriously imprinted with immigration records of nearly 10 Americas countries and regions!
.
I’m immensely grateful to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas for facilitating my child’s understanding of this world, including environmental conservationism and most importantly the tenets of life.
Under the guidance of Bodhisattvas, my daughter now has the capacity to earn her keep as well as define her life purpose! I used the savings that was intended for her college education and respectfully offered a light before the Buddha. I prayed that my daughter attains her academic qualifications, be of service to the society and benefit sentient beings, under the blessed illumination of the Buddha.
.
I’m infinitely grateful from the bottom of my heart! With a momentous thought, I’d “given” my child to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas! Since then, it had been smooth-sailing for us and the results have far exceeded my expectations.
.
In retrospect, every child is an independent person. He/ she does not belong to us, nor are they our private “property”. I actually felt that I’d sent her away then, but to the right place!
.
With the Buddha’s illumination as guiding beacons, my daughter’s and my life journeys are always swift and smooth toward our goals! These are all due to Master’s, Buddha’s and Bodhisattvas’ blessings and protection! We have benefitted immeasurably from your compassion and are immensely grateful!
