【身教的重要】
．
有段發人深省的順口溜是這麼說的…
隔牆望見兒餵孫，
想起當年我餵兒；
如今親兒把我餓，
唯恐今後孫餓兒！
．
因果循環，屢試不爽；
你怎麼孝順父母，孩子就怎麼孝順你。
因為父母的言傳身教，就是子女的學習「範本」。
．
究竟該創造怎樣的行為，讓孩子效仿呢？
相信聽完「木碗的故事」，你會有更深一層的想法！

即使出嫁了，她還是父母心中的寶貝女兒！

一個結婚才兩三年的同修來找我訴苦：「師父，我覺得我老婆真的很糟糕，只要一不開心，她就往娘家跑；有好東西總是想著要先分一半到娘家；賺錢也會拿一部份回娘家孝敬她父母，但她怎麼沒想過要孝敬我父母呢？過年我姐姐初二要回娘家，我媽媽只是想請我老婆先煮完飯再回娘家，她說什麼都不肯，還哭著說我媽是惡婆婆，沒把媳婦當人看！您聽聽這是人話嗎？現在我媽怨我、我老婆也怨我，還鬧著要離婚，我覺得我這日子都要過不下去了呀！」
.
我說：「在我看來，你老婆其實已經做得不錯了，你要是再不滿意，你就跟她換，平時上她娘家去住，沒事不許回家，過年年夜飯你煮、生了孩子跟她姓，初二在她娘家煮完飯才准回你家，反正你姐姐也是初二回去不是？你們姐弟剛好結伴，多好！」
.
他想了半天說：「謝謝師父的教導，我知道自己的問題在哪裡了，我沒有設身處地替老婆想，只是一味責怪她，我會回去好好跟她溝通的！」
.
上個月我又遇到他，我就問他：「怎麼樣，你老婆還跟你鬧離婚嗎？」
.
他有些靦腆地笑了：「早就不鬧了！那天聽了師父您的話之後，回去我就跟她徹夜長談。我們商量後決定，以後放假，一週在婆家、一週在娘家；她賺的錢，我也不管她想拿多少給岳父岳母，那畢竟是她的心意；我也跟我媽說了，如果初二還要求我老婆煮完飯才能回娘家，那往後除夕夜我就直接去岳父岳母家吃年夜飯了，初二再跟我姐姐一起回娘家，我媽聽完就再也沒提過這件事了。」
.
其實，每個孩子都是自己父母心頭的一塊肉，我們都很愛自己的家人。
所以，也請把出嫁來到你家的媳婦兒好好疼愛吧！
祝福大家:
得緣且惜緣，讓來自不同環境的兩個女人，用愛溫暖這一整個家，繼續譜下另一段溫暖，而永恆的親情！

我們總是把最壞的脾氣、最糟糕的一面，留給最愛我們的爸爸媽媽。而父母也常常懷疑：自己生養的孩子簡直就像來討債的，為什麼本應溫馨的家庭，變成了每天吵架的戰場？
.
一起來看看馬來西亞潘小弟的故事吧。
——————————————————————————
【我不再脾氣暴躁，改善了和媽媽的關係】
.
我叫潘瑞裕，今年25歲，來自馬來西亞。禪修前，我的脾氣很暴躁，和媽媽的關係很不好，會跟她吵架，有時我甚至會生氣地掀翻桌椅，常常惹得媽媽很傷心。在家裡看到她時，我常常會躲進房間或出去跟朋友喝茶，避開她。
.
去年（2016年）7月，我通過菩提禪修的宣傳資料認識了菩提禪修。過後我偶爾會跟著媽媽一起來龍泉禪堂禪修。今年8月，我載媽媽來禪堂上念佛班，順便接受一位師兄的能量加持，過後和師兄聊天，師兄與我分享了他和兒子的關係。接受了能量加持和聊天後，我的脾氣好了一些；第2天，我繼續來禪堂與其他的師兄姐聊天，也是給了我很大的啟發，師兄姐們要我把心打開，並且說了很多鼓勵我的話語；第3天我到了禪堂後，感覺很奇怪為什麼很多人見面時都會說「吉祥如意」，我也開始嘗試跟幾位比較熟悉的師兄姐講「吉祥如意」。就這樣慢慢地我開始把心打開，能感受到周圍人對我的關懷和寬容，我也開始請教他們禪修的方法，並開始修練《大光明》和大禮拜。
.
我來禪堂的次數越來越多，在這裡的朋友也越來越多，很多人都願意幫助我。我開始和大家一起做義工，覺得越做越開心。逐漸地，我的脾氣沒有那麼暴躁了，我對媽媽的態度開始改變，而媽媽在禪修後也沒有那麼囉嗦了。媽媽也跟我講「對不起」，我們的關係開始好轉！現在我們可以一起聊天，一起有說有笑了。從那時候開始，我沒有再跟媽媽吵架了。
.
接著，我報名參加了於8月底開課的健身班。課程第5天為母親念佛時，想起以前對媽媽的態度，我忍不住邊流淚邊真誠地在佛前向媽媽懺悔。念佛過後，我整個人輕鬆了很多。當時還上臺分享了我的收穫。當天晚上回家後，我跟媽媽當面道歉，並對她和爸爸說：「我愛您！謝謝您！」我和他們擁抱，他們都很開心，也對我講「我愛你」。現在的我越來越開心。
.
之前我在禪堂求籤求到的都是中簽，後來再求，求到的都是上上簽了。
.
聆聽了金菩提宗師的開示後，讓我感受到自己其實是很幸福的，我學會了感恩、懂得了體諒和禮讓別人，不再跟人家爭東西。以前我要的東西是一定要得到的，不會去理會他人的感受，現在，我會先想這個東西是不是我該得到的。我也懂得了珍惜和關心身邊的人，現在我的脾氣也好多了，我會繼續修練下去！

As the Chinese idiom goes: Foes are usually reincarnated as husband and wife while enemies are usually reborn as father-and-son. Is there a way to break this cycle?
Our dearest parents who love us the most are usually on the receiving end of our worst temper. We always show our worst side to our parents as if they are our debtors, when they are actually benefactors who gave life to us. What is it that makes us argue constantly with our parents? Why do we turn our homes into battlefields everyday?
Let us listen to the story of Brother Pan from Malaysia.
———————————————————————–
【I have lost my fiery temper and my relationship with my mother has improved tremendously】
My name is Rui-yu Pan I am a Malaysian and am 25 years old this year. I had a very bad temper before I started practicing meditation. Due to my bad temper, I used to have a terrible relationship with my mother – I was always quarreling with her and sometimes I would even flip the table in anger. This always made my mother very sad. In order not to stay at home with her, I would often make appointments to meet my friends for tea. Even when I am home, I would hide in my room to avoid her.
In July last year (2016), I came across some materials about Bodhi Meditation. I started to accompany my mother to the Klang (Dragon Spring) Bodhi Meditation Center occasionally. In August this year, while sending my mother to the center for her chanting class, I met a dharma brother who performed energy blessings on me. We chatted after the session and he shared with me what happened between him and his son. After the chat and the energy blessings, my temper improved. The next day, I turned up at the center again to chat with the other dharma brothers and sisters. They were very supportive and encouraged me to open up my heart.
On the third day, I noticed that the people at the meditation center greeted each other with “May you be blessed with good fortune”. This form of greeting sounded strange to me, but I still tried it on the few dharma brothers and sisters whom I knew. Gradually, my heart opened up. I was touched by the care and concern that the people here extended to me. I started to seek their guidance about meditation practice and started practicing prostration as well as the Meditation of Greater Illumination regularly.
As I visited the Meditation Center more often, I made many new friends who were all very helpful towards me. I started to volunteer in the center and my happiness level increased. Over time, I noticed that my temper improved. My attitude towards my mother also changed for the better. Meditation has also improved her; she nagged a lot less and even apologized to me once. Since then, our relationship has improved tremendously. Instead of quarreling, we chat and joke with each other freely these days, like good friends.
In August the same year, I signed up for the Health and Happiness retreat. On the fifth day of the retreat, while we were chanting for our mothers, I had a flashback of how I used to treat my mother and I broke down. As tears fell, I knelt before Buddha and repented sincerely for my treatment of my mother. I felt a lot more at ease after the chanting session. I even went onstage to share my story with the class. When I reached home that night, I apologized sincerely to my mother. I hugged my parents and told them: “I love you! Thank you so much everything that you have done for me!” They were very happy to hear that, and told me that they loved me as well. I am becoming a happier person day by day.
In the past, whenever I drew divination lots in the meditation center, I would always get neutral lots. Since my transformation, all the lots that I have drawn are auspicious ones!
Listening to Master’s teachings made me realize my good fortune. I have learned to be grateful for what I have and to be more understanding and forgiving towards others. I no longer fight for things with other people. In the past, I would spare no effort in fighting for what I wanted, without caring about other people’s feelings. Now, I would consider maybe that thing is not what I should have. I have learned to treasure and care for the people around me and my temper has also improved tremendously. I would definitely continue my practice!

【週六網路共修預告】（２０１７年５月１３日）
.
.
在一個農村裡，有一位平凡的母親，家裡很貧窮，她的兒子後來很爭氣的考上了狀元，兒子做了官，又被皇帝大臣家的小姐看上，日子過得風光又舒服，但他卻沒有返鄉接母親一起去城裡享福。
.
這位母親因為思子心切，就到城裡去找兒子，因為兒子是高官，母親一下就找著了，兒子看到自己的母親又醜又髒，穿得破破爛爛，覺得實在臉上無光，所以就不認自己的母親。富家小姐是個知書達禮的人，知道為人子女必須孝養父母的道理，便勸說夫婿，告知父母恩重難報的偉大恩德。狀元本性是善良的，最後悔改了，他知道自己錯了，不該貪那一面虛榮，連基本善良的人性都失去了，因此與美麗賢慧的夫人迎回母親，共同孝養天年。正所謂：「兒不嫌母醜，狗不嫌家貧。」
.
我們每天在母親無微不至的關懷下，往往感受不到這份濃濃的愛，反而不如一個跟你沒有血緣關係的人，給過你的一次幫助那麼清晰，對於母親給我們的「愛」僅剩嘮叨。其實，有些人生中的障礙，有些疾病，是因為你無德、不孝、無情、無義的行為而引發的。
.
所以，我們今天生命的好壞，與我們的祖宗有著直接的關係，與我們的父母有著直接的關係。要想做一個有福氣的人，就要懂得知恩圖報。今天在母親節的偉大日子裡，我希望大家一起來為母親祝福、祈福、用一顆感恩的心，誦念得再真誠一些。
.
歡迎大家本週六與我一起，為最偉大的母親念念佛，祝福他們健康吉祥、幸福快樂！！.

Notice on Online Global Group Practice (Saturday, May 13, 2017)
In a remote village, there lived an ordinary mother and her son. They were very poor but the son was very diligent. During one of the state examinations, he performed really well and earned himself the top scholar position and was subsequently offered a high ranking official role with the court. With luck on his side, he even married the daughter of a wealthy and powerful court official. Though he led a comfortable life, he did not return to his village to fetch his elderly mother to the city.
As his mother missed her son dearly, she decided to search for him in the city. Given his position in the court, she managed to locate him without much effort. The son, upon seeing his shabbily dressed mother, felt ashamed and refused to acknowledge her. The daughter-in-law was a virtuous lady with good upbringing. Upon seeing this, she reminded her husband on the importance of filial piety and persuaded him to take care of his mother. The son, a kind person by nature, finally realized his mistake and regretted his earlier reaction. Together with his wife, they brought the mother home to live with them for the rest of her life.
We tend to take our mother’s endless love for granted but remember clearly the little helps rendered by others. In fact many of our life’s obstacles and diseases are due to our lack of virtues, kindness or filial piety.
Our destiny today is closely linked to our ancestors and parents. If we want to enjoy good fortune, we must know how to repay our parents for their kindness.
With Mother’s day approaching, I hope everyone will join me this coming Saturday to chant for our mother. Let us chant with sincerity and gratitude. May they be blessed with health, auspiciousness and happiness!
