真誠地念佛 供燈究竟會產生多大的效用?
.
下面是馬來西亞學員須嫣的禪修故事：
.
在孩子小的時候，我經常早出晚歸地工作，很少照顧孩子的生活起居，也很少和孩子溝通。從小到大，孩子們都沒有叫我「媽媽」，有事情要溝通時，多數都是通過丈夫在中間傳話。
.
我學習菩提禪修以後，意識到身為媽媽，我並沒有盡到當媽媽的責任，於是向孩子們道歉，并問我的兒子和女兒，是不是怨恨我。孩子們都敞開心扉對我講，他們從來沒有怨恨過我，知道我辛苦工作是為了家。現在孩子們都會叫我「媽媽」了，還時常帶我出去一起玩。
.
退休後，孩子們都非常有孝心，每月都主動給我錢。我把他們給我的錢，拿出大部分來布施、做功德。很明顯，這樣做之後，他們的工作和生活非常順利，我們一家人更加和諧、快樂了。
.
在最近一次的念佛班中，我深深地體會到念佛和供燈的利益是多麼巨大。
.
課程第1天，丈夫就告訴我，醫生說二女兒可能需要動心臟手術。於是，我們夫妻倆就在禪堂為女兒供燈，并真誠念佛，希望她能夠順利度過這一關。神奇的是，第3天，醫生就告知我們，女兒不用做手術了！
.
我真的非常感恩師父和佛菩薩，讓我找回親情，和孩子的感情變好了，家庭和諧了。我要繼續發心當志工，服務好大眾，讓更多有緣人都能夠幸福和快樂。

What are the effects of chanting sincerely and offering lights to the Buddha?
Below is the meditation journey of Xuyan, a Malaysian student:
When my children were still young, I leave the house early in the morning to work, only to return late at night. Hence I was not involved in taking care of my children’s daily needs and seldom communicate with them. Since young, I have never heard them calling me “Mum”. If they have things to tell me, they would generally tell my husband and he would then convey their message to me. As such, my husband became a messenger between my children and I.
I only came to realize that I have failed to fulfill my responsibility as a mother after I joined Bodhi Meditation. I apologized to my children and asked my son and daughter whether they resented me. They were rather open and reassured me they do not resent me. They knew I worked so hard for the benefit of our family. Now my children addresses me as “Mum” and often bring me out for outings.
After I retire, my children are very filial and give me allowances voluntarily. I would donate majority of the allowances they give me to help the needy. Since I am accumulating karmic merits on their behalf, their life and career become more smooth sailing. Our family become more harmonious and happy.
During a recent chanting class, I experience for myself the immense benefits of chanting and offering lights to Buddha.
On the first day of the class, my husband told me my second daughter had to undergo heart surgery. Hence we make light offering for her at Bodhi Meditation Center and chanted sincerely, hoping that the surgery would be a success. Miraculously, on the third day, the doctor told us my daughter need not undergo the surgery!
I am really very grateful to Buddha, Bodhisattvas and Grandmaster JinBodhi. With their blessings, my relationship with my children improve and I am able to experience family harmony and happiness. I want to continue working as a volunteer to serve sentient beings and to help more karmic-bonded people regain happiness.
