母親節，送給母親最好的禮物？？
.
.
有位同修在FB問我，送什麼給母親最好呢？
.
我想起，幾年前，加拿大有一位同修，每天晚上8點多就到禪堂來念佛，看他身體氣色都不錯，每次穿著西裝進來，再臨時換上便裝，一念就是2小時。

有一次，我碰到就問他：「你為什麼來念佛呢？」
他說：「我來自一個單親家庭，媽媽想盡一切辦法，辛苦的湊了錢送我到國外去讀書、工作，而媽媽留在國內，雖然有弟弟一家照顧，但是媽媽身體不好。我實在不放心，總想回去工作陪著母親，但是媽媽一直不讓，說她身邊有弟弟、弟媳可以照顧自己，讓我不要擔心，要專心工作，做出成績來。我想接媽媽過來，找國外的好醫生看看，但是媽媽總說，自己身體不夠好，不想動了。」
.
他為此愁了很久，有一次恰巧在網絡上聽到我講的《為親人念佛》，說到我們可以為親人來求佛幫助。他實在沒有其他辦法了，就想，試試吧。於是就找到離工作最近的禪堂，每天下了班就到禪堂念佛。他天天在心裡跟菩薩祈請：媽媽辛苦養我這麼大，可是現在我不能多照顧他，祈請菩薩幫幫我，讓我的母親好起來，健康起來。
.
說來也真的巧，他的媽媽原本身體很虛弱，每次通電話聲音也都非常微弱。在他「念佛」一個月之後，他發現，每次再打電話回去，媽媽聲音好像越來越響亮了；再後來，媽媽告訴他說，自己可以上街去做很多事情了。他聽了特別高興，每天念佛的時候更專心了：特別的祈請菩薩多多照顧母親。
.
我聽了特別開心，就跟他說：「念佛的力量是不可思議的，繼續吧！」
.
隔了快一年，我又見到他，他引了一位老人家過來。老人家頭髮有些灰白，但是精神很好，身體看著很硬朗。
他說：「師父，這是我媽媽，現在身體很好，也樂意過到國外來和我住在一起，現在還經常來禪堂念佛、走八卦！」
.
老人家一聽是我，用很濃的方言，拉著我說：「師父啊，這個法真好啊，我的頭髮都開始長出黑色的新髮來了！ 你看！」她說著指著頭髮給我看。一邊又連著蹲起給我看，說她現在能夠活動自如了。
.
我問：「老人家，您今年高壽啊？」
她樂呵呵地說：「要70歲了！不過腿腳就像我50歲時那麼好用！」
.
我看著她和兒子快樂的笑容，心裡也同樣感嘆，佛菩薩要給予人們的，是怎樣神奇的轉變呢？這種給予，在佛菩薩那裡並沒有少了什麼。唯一需要的是人們的一份真心啊！
.
所以，大家說，送給母親最好的禮物是什麼呢？
當你不能照顧媽媽的時候，請菩薩幫助你呵護媽媽吧！

Mother’s Day，what is the best gift for our mother?

There was a practitioner who asked me in FB for gift ideas for mothers on Mother’s Day.

Some years back, there was a practitioner in Canada who chanted 2 hours every evening at Canada Bodhi Meditation centre. He appeared to be in good health and would often come in office suits before changing to casual wear for his daily chanting.

I saw him at the centre once and asked: “what is your reason for chanting?”

He replied: “I came from a single parent family. My mother exhausted all means to send me abroad for studies and work but she remained in Mainland China herself. Though my mother is being taken care of by my younger brother’s family, her health is not good. I am very worried and wished to accompany and take care of her at home but she is adamant and refused to let me go back. She reassured me that my younger brother is by her side and his wife can take care of her. She wanted me to concentrate on my career so that I can have great career accomplishment. I wanted to fetch her over to Canada, find the best doctor for her but she always gave the excuse that her health is not very good and do not wish to travel.”

The practitioner was troubled over this for a long time. On one occasion, he came across my teaching on the internet “Chanting for our loved ones” and knew that we can chant for our loved ones to gain Buddha’s blessings. Desperate and out of ideas, he decided to give it a try.
He went to the nearest Bodhi meditation centre after work and started chanting for his mother on a daily basis. He would tell Buddha: My mother brought me up painstakingly but I am not by her side and cannot take care of her now. I sincerely pray and hope that Buddha can bless her with good health.

His mother had always been weak, her voice can even be heard quivering over the telephone whenever they chatted. However, after just one month of chanting for his mother, the practitioner discovered that his mother’s voice had grown louder and clearer. Eventually, his mother told him she is able to run errands on her own outside without any help. Upon hearing this, the practitioner was very happy and became more focused in his daily chanting: he prayed for Buddha’s help in taking care of his mother.

I was very happy after hearing his story and encouraged him: “The power of chanting is incredible. Do persist!”

When I saw him one year later, he was with an old lady. Though the old lady has some white hair, she appeared energetic and physically strong. He introduced: “Master, this is my mother. Her health is in excellent state and she is staying with me in Canada now. Currently, she is a regular at Bodhi Meditation centre, doing chanting and practicing Energy Bagua!” The old lady upon hearing her son’s words, realized that I am his master, held my hand and said with a strong dialect slang: “Master, your techniques are excellent, I started to grow new hair and some white hairs even turned black! Look! She pointed at some hair and even squat and stood up a few times to show me her mobility. Clearly, she is very healthy and physically mobile now.

I asked the practitioner’s mother: “How old are you?”

She smilingly replied:”I am turning 70! But my limbs are as mobile as when I was 50 years old!”

I looked at the happy smiles on both their faces and lamented on the miraculous giving of Buddha and Bodhisattvas. In the process of giving, Buddha and Bodhisattvas did not lose a single thing. All they required from us is our sincerity!

So, what do you think is the best gift for our mothers?

When you are unable to take care of your mother yourself, pray to Buddha sincerely and seek for their blessings for your mothers!
