「六塵清淨」絲巾
.
佛經具有不可思議功德和加持力。
因此我取用了《圓覺經》裡非常具有啟發性的一段文字。
.
「善男子，六塵清淨故，地大清淨，地清淨故，
水大清淨，火大風大，亦復如是。」
.
感恩佛陀給予生命的啟發：
放下一切，回歸於清淨，才能超越五官的感受，讓自己真正進入禪定的清淨和自在。這種清淨，會讓我們的生命沒有障礙、智慧無邊，得到吉祥，獲得自在！
.
也可以將絲巾送給親人、朋友們，
願大家都能得佛加持護佑、平安、健康。
—————————————————————-
備註：
1.此款絲巾也非常合適裱框成畫掛起來，
作為居家風水擺件，為您的家聚氣、聚財，調整好風水。
.
2.絲巾使用100%純絲材質製作，希望大家喜歡。

⭐獲得健康富貴的方法⭐
.
要想獲得健康、富貴，就需要先把不好的、負面的能量消解，並且積聚善的能量，讓光明和吉祥能量，將健康、富貴帶給我們。
.
首先，我們做的所有事情，都是有「行為作用力」的。而且這些作用力，會從祖宗那裡遺傳給我們。也有人說，這就是宿命帶給我們的苦難，是很難改變的，這些我們無法掌控的作用力，都是遺傳業力，那麼遺傳業力有沒有方法可化解呢？
.
如何化解業力，我給大家的建議有：
.
1⃣ 佛前點燈
「點燃佛前燈，福祿好收成。」
「燈」是光明與智慧的象徵，咱們以燈供佛，將佛的臉、將佛的身體照亮，也藉此照亮我們的身心。
.
2⃣ 念佛
「一聲佛號，勝過萬兩黃金！」
我們念佛一定要真心，祈請佛菩薩加持，化解過去我們所造下的種種因果業力，帶來吉祥與光明。
.
3⃣ 懺悔
唯有一顆懺悔之心能改變因果業力，無論你是否有犯下過錯誤，心不懺，不能解因果；心不悔，則命不能改。
.
4⃣ 行善
常行供養、布施、隨喜等一切善行，功德不可思議。真誠地去供養佛，為眾生服務，無所求的付出，福報就來了。
.
大慈大悲的佛陀，祂的慈悲和能量，能幫我們化解很多因為傷害而產生的種種仇恨，幫助我們消業，獲得吉祥平安。
.
因此，朋友們，如果想讓自己活得更好，不妨嘗試我給大家推薦的方法去做做看，去佛前點燈、念佛、懺悔、行善。無論是想給現世的父母、或已經往生的祖先們，還是過去傷害過你的，或你傷害過的人們；也為自己、為家人，和最愛的人在佛前供上一盞光明燈。
.
願他們都能得到佛陀、菩薩，和眾神靈的幫助和指引，獲得光明、吉祥、健康、快樂。

⭐️The path towards good health and prosperity⭐️
To gain good health and prosperity, we need to first dispel our negative and bad energy. Then we need to accumulate positive energy of kindness so that bright illumination and auspicious energy can bring good health and prosperity to us.
It is important for us to understand that all things have their associated effects. Some of these effects have been passed down to us from our ancestors. Some people might say that the sufferings that we go through now are part of our destinies and cannot be changed. Is that true or are there ways for us to transform the karma that we inherited from our ancestors?
These are my suggestions of how we can dispel the negative karma built up over time:
1. Make light offerings
As the saying goes “The offering of light to Buddha will bring prosperity and good fortune to the offeror.” Light symbolize illumination and wisdom. When we offer light to Buddha, we are illuminating Buddha’s face and body. In return, our mind and body get illuminated.
2. Chant
“One chant of the Buddha’s name is more precious than ten thousand tael of gold!”
Sincerity is very important as we chant and pray to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, seeking their help to dispel the negative karma that we have accumulated in the past and asking them to bless us with illumination and good fortune.
3. Repent
Only a sincere heart of repentance can transform karma. Regardless of whether you have committed wrongs in the past, you need to understand that if you do not repent, you will not be able to break the effects of karma; without regret for the wrongs committed, you will not be able to transform your destiny.
4. Perform good deeds
The amount of karmic rewards that we get for regularly performing good deeds like making offerings, giving and rejoicing in other’s good deeds, is unimaginable. When we make offerings to Buddha and serve all sentient beings sincerely without any expectations of getting anything in return, good fortune will follow.
The compassionate energy of the great compassionate Buddha can help to dispel the hatred generated by the hurt that we have caused, dispelling our negative karma and blessing us with safety and good fortune.
Please try my suggestions if you would like to improve your lives – make light offerings to Buddha, chant, repent and perform good deeds. For the sake of your parents, ancestors, yourself, your family, your loved ones, those who have hurt you and those who you have hurt, make a light offering to Buddha today.
May all of them be blessed with help and guidance from Buddha, Bodhisattvas and the gods to achieve illumination, good fortune, health and happiness.

「看破是智慧 放下是解脫。」
.
每個人的內心都期望著健康安詳、快樂自在，沒有煩惱、沒有壓力。但是我們怎樣才能從煩惱的污泥之中脫身而出，達到清淨無染、安詳自在呢？
.
其實人的一生，活得幸福不幸福，不在於錢多少，是在於我們的這個氣順不順乎。好多事物本身就是虛實變化之中，讓人感覺到快樂的也許是毒品，讓人享受當下，但這幸福的感覺可能正是地獄，此時的快樂就是壞事。很多時候正在遭受考驗，覺得痛苦不堪，但通過考驗，就能嘗到甜蜜的果實，當下的痛苦也僅是過程。我們的心如果不能看透這一切，幾乎所有的事情都不能解脫、都會引發煩惱。
.
看破才能放下。只有看透了這個世間事物的真相，才能夠把原來特別執著的東西放下，無論是不好的、還是看起來美好的東西都要去放下。
.
放下，就讓自己的氣順了；放下，才不為壓力、煩惱所困，才能擁有一種輕安的狀態與解脫的心靈。
.
禪修，正是讓我們得到最終的解脫和自在。

【To “see through” illusion is wisdom, to “let go” is liberation】
We all longed to be healthy, serene, happy and free; with no worries and stress. But how do we break free from the mire of worries to attain peace, tranquility, purity and ease?
Whether we live our life blissfully or not is not dependent on the amount of money we have but whether we go with the flow. Many situations are in a flux, changing between truth and delusion, what brings you happiness may be poisonous. It may allow you to enjoy the present moment but this feeling of bliss may be hell. In this case, happiness becomes a bad thing. Often, when we struggle through a trying situation, we feel excruciating pain. But once we pass the test, we can taste the sweet fruit of success. The pain is only momentary, part of the journey towards success, If we do not see through this truth, we will not be liberated from all situations and that is how worries arise.
See the truth and be liberated. We can only let go of things that we are especially obsessed with by seeing clearly the truth of this world. We have to let go of all things, the bad ones and the ones that look good and wonderful.
By letting go, we follow the flow of things and we are not trapped by our stress or worries. Only then can we attain a tranquil repose and a liberated soul.
Meditation allows us to achieve the ultimate liberation and being at ease.

放下即解脫
.
.
每逢佳節倍思親，即將到了清明祭祖的節日。
有個同修給我留言，問了一個關於親情之間要如何割捨的問題，我也趁著大家追思先祖，懷思之情最真切的時刻，與大家談談這個問題。。
.
這個同修的問題是：
「一年前我的外婆去世了，我很傷心，自從她死了之後，至今，我始終念念不忘，我甚至還可以感覺得到外婆的存在，依舊活在我和外婆，一起生活的那個世界裡，所以我變得不愛與人打交道，偶而會一個人躲著哭，覺得好像世界上再沒人疼愛我了。」
.
思念破輪迴….
也許我們都愛過人、被愛過，也珍惜過，無論是愛情、友情，或是親情，一但生起這段緣就會很難割捨。親情也是這樣，難分難捨，但是早晚有一天都要捨下。
因為，當我們總是想著對方，總是這樣強烈的思念你的外婆，你知道會對她帶來什麼樣的副作用嗎？就是傷害！天天這樣去憶念她，經常這樣想，那麼真實和她在一起，那種場景啊，讓她不能平靜的得以往生，你會干擾她的啊。
.
比如說她要脫生到一個好人家，變成一家的孩子，可能很富貴、健康、美麗啊，你這樣不斷的憶念、憶念、憶念，她就不能走，她就在那拖著、拖著，這樣的憶念會打破這個輪迴，你這麼牽掛著拉著她，她去不了該去的地方，最後變成你會受責罰，你的奶奶，也會在那邊，會受懲罰的，所以你要放手，心裡要放下，並且給予她更多更多的祝福。
.
愛，就是放手~
所以，無論是多麼親多麼愛的人，她走了，就走了，你要放下，還要自己好好活。總是憶念等於干擾，她走了就是轉生，祝福她轉生到好人家，不受苦不受難。千萬不要再想。
.
我們總講要孝敬父母，恭敬祖先。但有些人不懂「孝敬」的真正意涵，親人去世了十年了，結果他就天天哭，天天想，結果最後哭成了精神病。不但把自己的精神全部搞垮，也讓對方不能真正安靜的解脫。所以忘掉吧！一切都要放下。最好是能夠為親人們，在佛前點盞光明燈，為親人照亮前方的路，並且祝福她轉生富貴、吉祥的人家。
.
要想讓你祖先、親人要活得更安心，更幸福，就要好好做好你該做的事情，學好你該學的事情，這樣她才會放心，才會幸福。.

Let go and be liberated
Ching Ming (Qing Ming) Festival is just a few days away and it is at occasions like this that we miss our dear ones the most. A fellow practitioner left me a message asking for advice on how to handle the parting of loved ones. I would like discussion this here during this period when all of us are commemorating our ancestors and the sense of longing for our loved ones is at the deepest.
This is what the fellow practitioner asked:
“My grandma passed away a year ago and her passing left me deeply heartbroken. Till today, I have not been able to get over it and I can still sense her presence. I long deeply to return to the time when my grandma was still alive. I became withdrawn, frequently hiding in a corner to cry. I felt totally alone and unloved in this world.”
Yearning breaks the cycle of reincarnation…
All of us have loved and been loved in our lives. It is not easy to let go of the bonds that were formed, regardless of whether it is romantic, platonic or familial love. As difficult as it is though, we still have to let go one of these days.
Do you know the effects on your grandma when you keep thinking about and yearning for her? You will harm her! When you miss her and think about her daily, it is as if she is really right by your side. She will be disturbed and will not be able to leave to be reborn in peace.
Maybe she is supposed to be reborn into a good family, as a healthy and pretty child with good fortune. Your constant yearning for her will hold her back. She will keep procrastinating her departure, and the cycle of reincarnation will be broken. Eventually she will end up in a place that she was never supposed to be. When that happens, both you and your grandma will suffer. This is why you have to learn to let go. Instead of holding on, give her lots and lots of blessings from the bottom of your heart and let her go to where she is supposed to be.
Love is about letting go ~
Therefore, regardless of how close you are to that person, or how much you love her, you have to let go once she is gone. Not only do you have to let go, you have to live your life well. When you yearn constantly for her, you are disturbing her. Let her leave without any attachments, give your blessings to her and pray that she gets reborn into a good family. Pray that she will have a good life, with no sufferings. After that, do not think about her any more.
All of us know that we have to be respectful towards our parents and our ancestors, but not everyone knows the true meaning of the word “respect”. Crying and yearning for a loved one for ten years after she has passed on will prevent her from moving on. Your mental state breaks down, and your loved one is not able to get reborn in peace. So the best thing to do is to forget and let it all go! Offer lights to Buddha for your loved one and pray for Buddha to light up her path. Pray that she gets reborn into a family of good fortune.
If you would like your ancestors and loved ones to be at ease, you have to do what you need to do and learn what you need to learn. That is the only way for them to be happy.
