【有願皆遂，吉祥護佑】——明代禦制四臂觀音金唐卡
.
觀世音菩薩，在無量大千世界中化身無數、祂尋聲救苦，就如人世間的慈母形象。不論眾生遇到什麼困難，只要誠心誦念祂的名號，便能得到佛菩薩無邊的法力加持。在這殊勝的日子裡，再次跟大家分享，一起來感受這極其強大的吉祥、慈悲能量「明代禦制四臂觀音金唐卡」。
.
———————————————————————————————-
這幅「四臂觀音金唐卡」有著一段悠久的歷史淵源。大約十五世紀時，中國明代的皇帝，特意邀請當時最好的畫師，共同繪製了這幅精美的四臂觀音金唐卡，將其賜封給西藏的一位法王。後來，很多西藏上乘密法修行者，依此法像觀照修行密法，這幅「明代禦制四臂觀音金唐卡」至今已傳承將近500年。
.
幾十年前，這幅珍貴的唐卡移居海外，初見這幅唐卡時，感應其無比殊勝的慈悲能量，我心生歡喜，在心中虔誠頂禮。四臂觀音是一切諸佛菩提心的化現，整幅唐卡散發著代表善良、慈悲的吉祥資訊和能量，並且經過無數修行大德頂禮膜拜的數百年傳承，更是具有強大的加持力。
.
因此，此唐卡的每一幅複印品都有加蓋法印，並在佛堂虔心供奉，希望更多的大眾有機會與其結緣。誠心迎請供奉此唐卡者能與菩薩快速感應，每一次的誦念頂禮，都將獲得四臂觀音，及眾佛菩薩無上殊勝的加持庇佑，對大家的健康、家庭、事業以及人生境界等，都有極大的改善和提升。
.
因此，這幅唐卡是世間極為稀有的寶物。

【Fulfilling wishes and providing auspicious protection】 –The Ming Dynasty Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka

Guanyin Bodhisattva who has immeasurable number of incarnations in the boundless universe, is like a loving mother. She reaches out to all who call out to her to liberate them from their sufferings. Any sentient being going through grave challenges need only chant her name to receive the blessings of her boundless power.
In conjunction with the celebration of Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment, I would like to share with everyone the “Ming Dynasty Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka” which is full of powerful auspiciousness and compassionate energy.
—————————————————————————————————
This Golden Thangka has a long history dated back to the 15th century. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty invited the best painters at that time to come together and draw this exquisite Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka and bestowed to a Tibetan dharma king. Subsequently, many Tibetan tantric practitioners practiced tantric visualizations with this thangka. This Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka has been passed down for close to 500 years.

A few decades ago, this precious thangka was relocated overseas. When I first saw this thangka, I could deeply sense the power of compassion. My heart was filled with happiness. I wanted to worship it instantly. The Four-Armed Guanyin is the ultimate representation of bodhicitta of all bodhisattvas. The thangka emanates auspicious energy of kindness and compassion. Through centuries of spiritual worshipping by great spiritual meditators, this thangka carries tremendous blessing power.

For every re-print copy of this thangka, I had personally added my seal of blessings and consecrated it to the Buddha Halls of our centers for sincere chanting. I hope that more people will have the opportunity to invite this thangka. Sincerely wishing those who invite and worship this thangka will receive rapid response. Every chant and prostration will bring forth incredible blessings from Guanyin and bodhisattvas which would help to improve health, family, career and spirituality.

Hence, this thangka is certainly a rare treasure in the world.

【善用萬物_提升自我】 . 在西方神話中…

【善用萬物_提升自我】
.
在西方神話中有一種神鳥叫「鳳凰」，雄為鳳、雌為凰，又被稱為火鳥、或不死鳥。傳說天方國的鳳凰，每500年就會集香木自焚為灰燼，再從灰燼中浴火重生。而鳳凰每一次的重生，就能獲得比以往更強大的生命力，如此周而復始，直至「鳳凰涅槃」，獲得永生。
.
而我們經過禪修之後，觀察能力、視覺能力、以至於各種能力，從寬度、深度、廣度。在境界上也會有很大差別，我們從一個凡人的基礎上，修到了視覺能力，和精神境界都超越過去，甚至超越了凡人，自然我們的能量就會比過去增強；而我們的思維方式、智慧也將比過去強上很多。
.
當深入修行到一個程度的時候，我們也有機會，生出許多超越原本能力的超能力，可以跨越時間、空間去看我們自己、看這個世界，去順應於這個世界、甚至是利用這個世界，讓自己飛升起來，這叫什麼呢？——「善用萬物而入鳳凰涅槃」，通俗地講就是「烏鴉變鳳凰」，提升我們的肉體與精神境界。
.
本周的共修，我們就來聊聊如何通過「禪修」，來提升我們的心靈視覺，讓我們的人生達到更高的境界？大家可以留言分享你的感想和經驗、或分享這篇《心靈的視覺》給其他需要幫助的有緣人。
.
祝福朋友們的人生更燦爛、更吉祥！

Make the best of everything to elevate oneself.

In Western mythology there is a kind of sacred bird called “phoenix” which is also known as firebird or long-lived bird. According to legend, the phoenix cyclically regenerates or born again after every 500 years through gathering incense wood and burning itself to ashes. With every rebirth, the phoenix gains stronger life force and this keeps repeating until it eventually attains Nirvana and gains an eternal life.

Through meditation, our observation and visual skills improve. Thus we have better ability and able to view broader and deeper. Our spiritual realm also transcend to a level higher than that of a normal human being. So naturally our energy will be stronger than in the past and so will be our thinking ability and wisdom.

When our practice has reached a certain depth, we will find ourselves gaining new ability beyond our original ability. We may even have the ability to look at the world and ourselves beyond time and space. We may be able to adapt to the world by using what the world has to offer. We refer to this as – “making the best of everything to attain phoenix’s state of Nirvana” or simply, “transforming a crow into a phoenix” to explain the elevation of our physical and mental state of mind.

In this week’s global group practice, let us discuss how we can elevate our spiritual mind through meditation. I welcome all to share your thoughts, experiences and your spiritual transformations in the path of your self-cultivation!

May all enjoy a fulfilling, happy and auspicious life!

胸襟越廣大，生命的路也會越寬廣。

很多人都有同樣的感慨：「這年頭好人不好當，幫人還要被誤會！」那麼要如何才能真正行善，去幫助人呢？」聽我來說個故事吧！！
.
很久以前，在山東的一個小村子邊上有一片大湖泊，湖邊有一座道觀，道觀裡住著一位老道長。
.
有一年的夏季特別炎熱，傍晚時分，道長在湖邊的涼亭裡乘涼，這時湖面上突然冒出一隻蛤蟆精，這蛤蟆精怪聲怪調的唱著：「讒死了，讒死了，明天四個耳朵的來餵我！」老道長知道這蛤蟆精明天準備要吃人了，於是下決心要救下這有四個耳朵的人。
.
隔天天還沒亮，老道長就一直守在大湖邊。近中午了，地面滾燙滾燙的，太陽照得人滿臉滿身流汗，老道長仍一步也不肯離開。這時，從遠方慢慢走來了一個人，頭上還頂著有兩個提把的炒菜鍋，讓人一眼看到就覺得特別滑稽，顯然他把炒菜鍋當成了遮陽帽。
.
老道長看了，心頭突然一震：「山東人把炒菜鍋的兩個提把叫鍋耳朵，這個頂著提鍋的人不就有四個耳朵了嗎？」老道長急忙上來阻攔他靠近湖邊，對方因為不能理解，氣的把老道長推倒，還狠狠的踹上一腳，才頂著提鍋揚長而去。老道長還笑嘻嘻地，很高興能救下這個四個耳朵的人。
.
說到這兒，我想問問如果你是老道長，遇到對你又踢又打的人，你是否還能有寬大的心，願意搭救這個人？
.
這個故事告訴了我們一個道理：「只有真正慈悲又無私的人，才能救人不問回報，不怕被冤枉，才能擁有廣大的胸襟和肚量啊。」
.
本週六，讓我們一起來聊聊《覺悟的進程》，探討怎樣善用自己的智慧、能力去造福十方大眾，同時也提升我們的人生境界。
.
喜歡就請分享，祝福朋友們都能夠健康快樂、吉祥自在！

The broader the mind, the wider the path
.
Many people share the same feeling, “It is not easy to be a kind person. At times, helping others can lead to misunderstanding!”
So how do we do good deeds and help others?
Let me share a story!!
.
Once upon a time, there was a Taoist temple in a village beside a huge lake in Shangdong. And an elderly Taoist priest lived in the temple.
.
On one particular summer, as the weather was very hot, the Taoist priest strolled to the pavilion beside the lake to enjoy the evening breeze. Suddenly, a toad spirit appeared from the lake and started singing strangely, “Yum, yum, tomorrow I will get to enjoy a sumptuous meal of a four ears!” The elderly priest knew then that the toad spirit was looking forward to his next meal – a human being. He then decided to save the person with four ears.
.
The next day, the elderly priest went early to guard by the side of the huge lake. By noon, the priest was totally drenched in his own perspiration and the floor was scorching hot from the strong sunlight. However, the elderly priest refused to leave and continued guarding.
.
At this moment, he saw a man walking towards the lake from afar. With him, on his head, was a frying wok with two handles. He was using the frying wok as a hat to provide some shelter from the sun.
Suddenly, it dawned on him that the people in Shangdong always describe the two handles of their frying pan as “ears”. He immediately tried to stop the man from advancing towards the lake. However, the man didn’t understand his intention. He pushed the elderly priest to the ground and even kicked him before he eventually left the lake. Though the priest was kicked, he felt very happy as he had saved the life of the man with four ears.
.
At this point, I would like to pause and ask, “If you were the elderly priest and the person you were trying to save kicked and hit you, would your heart be broad enough to want to continue saving this person?”
.
Moral of the story: Only someone who is compassionate and selfless would save others without harboring any hope of return. He will persist even if the person he is trying to save misunderstands him. It takes a broadminded person to do what the priest did.
.
On this coming Saturday, let us discuss “Progress towards Enlightenment” and how we can apply our wisdom and capability to help all people and at the same time elevate our spiritual growth.
.
If you like this post, please share it with your loved ones.
.
May all enjoy a healthy, happy, auspicious and peaceful life!

.
即將到了一年一度的殊聖日子，「觀世音菩薩成道日」即將來臨，再次的與大家介紹介紹這件稀有珍寶——「明代禦制四臂觀音金唐卡」，這幅唐卡有著極其強大的吉祥、慈悲能量，一起來感受吧。
.
———————————————————————————————-
這幅「四臂觀音金唐卡」有著一段悠久的歷史淵源。大約十五世紀時，中國的明代皇帝，特意邀請當時最好的畫師，共同繪製了這幅精美的四臂觀音金唐卡，將其賜封給西藏的一位法王。後來，很多西藏上乘密法修行者，依此法像觀照修行密法，這幅「明代禦制四臂觀音金唐卡」至今已傳承將近500年。
.
幾十年前，這幅珍貴的唐卡移居海外，初見這幅唐卡時，感應其無比殊勝的慈悲能量，我心生歡喜，甚至想頂禮膜拜。四臂觀音是一切諸佛菩提心的化現，整幅唐卡散發著代表善良、慈悲的吉祥資訊和能量，並且經過無數修行大德頂禮膜拜的數百年傳承，更是具有強大的加持力。
.
因此，此唐卡的每一幅複印品我都加蓋了加持法印，並將其供奉在佛堂誠心誦念，希望更多的大眾有機會與其結緣，誠心迎請供奉此唐卡者能與之快速感應，每一次的誦念頂禮，都將獲得四臂觀音，及眾佛菩薩無上殊勝的加持庇佑，對大家的健康、家庭、事業以及人生境界等，都有極大的改善和提升。
.
因此，無論從哪個角度來品評，這幅唐卡的價值都可以稱之為世間極為稀有的寶物。

Precious Buddhist Treasure – Ming Dynasty Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka

In conjunction with the celebration of Guanyin Bodhisattva’s Enlightenment, I would like to introduce a rare treasure, “Ming Dynasty Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka”. This thangka has a very powerful auspicious and compassionate energy. Let’s feel it!
—————————————————————————————————
This Golden Thangka has a long history dated back to the 15th century. The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty invited the best painters at that time to come together and draw this exquisite Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka and bestowed to a Tibetan dharma king. Subsequently, many Tibetan tantric practitioners practiced tantric visualizations with this thangka. This Four-Armed Guanyin Golden Thangka has been passed down for close to 500 years.

A few decades ago, this precious thangka was relocated overseas. When I first saw this thangka, I could deeply sense the power of compassion. My heart was filled with happiness. I wanted to worship it instantly. The Four-Armed Guanyin is the ultimate representation of bodhicitta of all bodhisattvas. The thangka emanates auspicious energy of kindness and compassion. Through centuries of spiritual worshipping by great spiritual meditators, this thangka carries tremendous blessing power.

For every re-print copy of this thangka, I had personally added my seal of blessings and consecrated it to the Buddha Halls of our centers for sincere chanting. I hope that more people will have the opportunity to invite this thangka. Sincerely wishing those who invite and worship this thangka will receive rapid response. Every chant and prostration will bring forth incredible blessings from Guanyin and bodhisattvas which would help to improve health, family, career and spirituality.

Hence, regardless of which point of view to evaluate this thangka, it certainly is a rare treasure in the world.
