最好的母親節禮物!

母親給予我們的愛、照顧與溫暖,是最真實而純真的。
.
如何回報給母親一份最大的祝福?
其中一種方法,就是為她們在佛前祈福,
為母親在佛前點燃一盞燈,為他們祝福,
讓母親的生命充滿光亮,充滿吉祥,充滿希望,
.
祝福最愛的母親,永遠健康、長壽、青春、美麗!
.
The best Mother’s Day present!

The unconditional love, care and warmth given by our mothers is absolutely pure and sincere.

How can we repay our mothers and give them the greatest blessings?

One way is to chant sincerely and seek Buddha’s help to bless our mothers; Making light offerings before Buddha to seek for blessings, so that our mothers’ lives will always be illuminated, auspicious and filled with hope.

May our beloved mothers live a long and healthy life, remain youthful and beautiful!

練習快樂,才會健康!
「所謂的業力就是過去所有錯誤的積累,業力一旦出現,有很多關就跨不過去,但如果功德具足,就能跨越障礙。」
.
人生,是不容易的,每個人都為了三餐溫飽勞碌奔波,還要面對生、老、病、死折騰人的重重關卡,而修行禪法、學佛,可以幫助我們用正確的態度來面對這一切,可以給我們帶來解脫的「智慧」和「能量」。
因為,人生只有這一次,我們需要更認真來學習如何快樂?然後變得健康又幸福!讓我們一起來聽聽「李小妹」的感人故事。。。
.
來自溫哥華的李小妹:
過去我與父親之間有些不愉快,心中對父親有過埋怨。身體也因為常常積累情緒而變得不好,有些內出血的症狀。
一次的機會,我來報名禪修課程,聽到了師父說:「對父母知恩不圖報會有惡業伴隨你的。」我很震驚,才驚覺到自己這些日子對父母的態度,從小我的父母親非常疼愛我,他們千辛萬苦把我養育成人,並將我培養成一個醫學博士,而我不但沒感恩父母,還對父親心懷成見,常與父親頂撞。現在想想,簡直就是一個小人。
.
後來又聽到師父說:「我就是來幫人的,要幫小人變成大人,幫大人變成聖人。」我想師父沒有放棄我,我要改正,要好好修行。
一回到家,我就給遠隔重洋的父親打了個問候的電話,父親非常欣慰,感動得熱淚盈眶,我的淚水也止不住的流,父女倆多年的心結終於解開了。
.
心結解開了,心情也隨之改變了,每天出門,我看到的天空是份外的藍,份外的潔淨與清新,花兒是如此的美艷,小鳥的叫聲也是格外的悅耳動聽。
.
最重要的是,通過「念佛」和修練「大光明」,我的大出血好了。原來身上被包裹著的一層硬殼,也一層層地剝落了,渾身輕鬆柔軟了。
感動、感恩,與輕鬆,這樣的狀態是我從未有過的體驗,我也要學習將這份喜悅繼續傳下去,引領更多正受著身心疾病折磨的人,也與我一樣變得快樂又健康。

Saw a Face of Happiness…

Practice being happy in order to be healthy!
“What we know about karma is that’s its an accumulation of all the mistakes we have made in the past. The moment karma manifests, there will be a lot of obstacles obstructing our way forward. However, we can easily overcome these obstacles if we have accumulated sufficient merits and virtues.”

Life is never easy. Not only do we have to toil to feed ourselves, we also have to worry about the challenges faced during the four stages of life – birth, old age, sickness and death. Practicing dharma and meditation brings us the wisdom and energy to liberate ourselves and to face those challenges with a positive mindset.

We only have one chance at this life. We should use this opportunity to learn to be happy, which will help us become healthy and blissful! Let us listen to the touching story of how Xiaomei Li found her happiness…

Xiaomei Li from Vancouver:
I used to bear resentment towards my father due to the quarrels we had in the past. The accumulation of negative emotions in my body caused my health to take a turn for the worse some time back and I began to show symptoms of internal hemorrhage.

One day, when I was at the center to register for meditation class, I happened to hear Master say: “Ingratitude towards your parents will cause bad karma to befall you.” This astounded me and made me realize how poor my attitude has been towards my parents. They love me a lot. They have gone through a lot of hardship to bring me up and put me through school to get my medical doctorate. Yet I have never felt gratitude towards them. I even harbored prejudices against my own father, and rebutted him frequently. Come to think about it, I have been really petty.

Not long after that, I also heard Master say: “I am here to help people; to help petty people become magnanimous, and to help magnanimous people become saints.” Knowing that Master will not give up on me gave me the determination to correct my wrongdoings and to persevere in my practice.

The moment I reached home that day, I made a long distance call to my father. He was gratified by my concern, and was so touched that tears filled his eyes. I couldn’t stop my own tears too. The unhappiness that has lived in my heart for so many years melted away in that instant.

From then on, my mood improved. Whenever I am out, I cannot help but admire the sky that is so blue. The air smelled especially clean and fresh. The flowers are so vibrantly beautiful. Even the birds’ songs are especially pleasant to the ears.

Through chanting and practicing the Meditation of Greater Illumination, my internal hemorrhage was cured. The hard shell that has wrapped around me felt off layer by layer and I became more relaxed and at peace.

I have never felt so touched, grateful and relaxed in my life. I realized there are many other people who are suffering from mental and physical ailments in this world. I would like to learn to spread this joy to them and help them achieve happier and healthier lives.

【至誠感恩觀世音菩薩】 . . 今天是一…

【至誠感恩觀世音菩薩】
.
.
今天是一個非常吉祥的好日子,是大慈大悲觀世音菩薩的聖誕。這裡我先和大家分享一則歷史上和觀世音菩薩感應的故事:

元魏時,有一個叫道泰的人,住在常山的衡唐精舍,曾經夢見有人告訴他說,他的壽命只有四十二歲。果然到了四十二歲的時候,他生起很重的病來,他憂慮自己必定如夢中所提示的會死,於是將他所有的衣食資產廣為佈施積福。有位朋友對他說:我聽過供養六十二億菩薩,和念一聲觀世音的人,得福報是一樣的,您何不皈依誦念觀世音菩薩?道泰猛然感悟,虔誠歸依誦念,不分日夜。精誠勤奮四天四夜後,忽然看見一道白光從戶外射進來,非常的耀眼,光芒中看見觀世音菩薩的金色雙腳,令全屋金光朗照。道泰馬上扯開帳子出來叩頭頂禮,一會兒光就消失了。他又悲又喜,周身流汗,全身輕鬆,所生的病也就一次都全好了。( 續高僧傳 第25卷)

那像這樣菩薩慈悲顯像來幫助眾生的神跡,是經常發生的。在我小時候修行和成長的過程中,觀世音菩薩就時常伴隨著我,幫助我修行,給我指導。我對佛法的認識,以及後來對很多事物的認識,都是觀世音菩薩直接教導給我。在我傳法的過程中,當重大的活動或是事件發生時,菩薩也都會慈悲化現、護佑一切順利吉祥。
.
觀世音菩薩的慈悲,我自己的感悟,就像一位為孩子付出一切、想盡一切辦法的母親:我們小時候不愛吃飯,或是身體不舒服,母親怕我們餓壞了,會唱著歌、做著遊戲,想方設法哄著我們吃飯,或者是哄著我們吃藥,而自己可能完全忘記吃飯、睡覺,一心只為了讓我們早點獲得健康。這種慈悲啊,只有母親才有。而觀世音菩薩這樣一位母親是對天下眾生的。這種慈悲心實在令我敬佩。
.
菩薩這麼慈悲對我們,我們要做的是什麼呢,概括起來只有兩個字:真誠!
.
那麼,在這樣神聖的日子裡,如何表達真誠呢?
1. 沐浴更衣,真誠誦念觀世音菩薩聖號。
2. 在家裡或是道場的觀世音菩薩像前,真誠供養、獻花、獻果、獻禮。
3. 參與共修誦念。因為共修的能量與感應是更強的。不在禪堂附近的同修可以晚上在我們約定的時間裡選一個時段一同誦念(晚上8:30-臨晨1:00)。

正如觀世音菩薩願望中所說的——「一切正在有苦、有難、有貧窮、有疾病的眾生,如果你所求的,但願我能幫你」,希望大家把握今天的機會,真誠感恩,得到佛光普照,實現心中願望!

Deepest gratitude to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Today is a very auspicious day, the birthday of the most compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva. Let me share with you a story from Chinese history in relation to Guanyin Bodhisattva:

During the Northern Wei dynasty there was a man named Dao-tai(道泰) who lived in the Changshan county. He had a dream in which he was told he had a lifespan of only forty-two years. True enough, he fell very sick on his forty-second birthday. Thinking that he was going to die, he donated all his wealth to the poor to gain karmic merits. One day, he heard from his friend that the karmic reward of calling out the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva with great sincerity is equivalent to making offerings to 6.2 billion Bodhisattvas. This inspired Dao-tai to chant reverently day and night. Suddenly, on the fourth night, he was enveloped by bright light shining in from the outside. In the blinding light, he could see the legs of Guanyin boddhisattva and immediately prostrated at the bodhisattva’s gold-sheathed feet. The light disappeared as fast as it came and Dao-tai found himself covered in perspiration. Amazingly, he was cured of all illnesses after that. (Continued in the 25th chapter of the Biographies of Eminent Monks).

Such miraculous blessings from Guanyin Bodhisattva are not uncommon. While I was growing up, Guanyin Bodhisattva was always by my side; holding my hand as I walked the path, giving me guidance on my practice. She taught me all about the Buddha dharma and the natural way of things. Till today, she is there at all the key events of my life, watching over me, bestowing blessings to all as I spread the Dharma.

The Bodhisattva’s compassion is like that of a loving mother who gives unconditionally: She will go through all means to ensure that we are safe and healthy, even at the expense of herself. Such deep love is what a mother will bear towards her own child. To the benevolent Guanyin Bodhisattva, all of us, all sentient beings are like her children. Such compassion and love are truly admirable!

The great compassion that the Bodhisattva bears for us can only be repaid with the deepest respect and sincerity. How do we express that on this sacred day?
1. Freshen ourselves and sincerely chant the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
2. Make sincere offerings of flowers, fruits and gifts to the benevolent Guanyin Bodhisattva.
3. Join the group chanting practice at the Bodhi Meditation Center. If you stay far away from the center, you can chant together with us in your home, anytime between 8.30 in the evening to 1 in the morning. Group practice is beneficial as it yields much stronger energy and builds a stronger connection with the merciful Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva has vowed to help all sentient beings who call out to her, freeing them from suffering, pain, poverty and sickness. On this auspicious day, let us offer our sincerest gratitude and receive the blessings from the most compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!

In the blinding light, he could see the legs of Guanyin boddhisattva and immediately prostrated at the bodhisattva’s gold-sheathed feet. The light disappeared as fast as it came and Dao-tai found himself covered in perspiration. Amazingly, he was cured of all illnesses after that. (Continued in the 25th chapter of the Biographies of Eminent Monks).

Such miraculous blessings from Guanyin Bodhisattva are not uncommon. While I was growing up, Guanyin Bodhisattva was always by my side; holding my hand as I walked the path, giving me guidance on my practice. She taught me all about the Buddha dharma and the natural way of things. Till today, she is there at all the key events of my life, watching over me, bestowing blessings to all as I spread the Dharma.

The Bodhisattva’s compassion is like that of a loving mother who gives unconditionally: She will go through all means to ensure that we are safe and healthy, even at the expense of herself. Such deep love is what a mother will bear towards her own child. To the benevolent Guanyin Bodhisattva, all of us, all sentient beings are like her children. Such compassion and love are truly admirable!

The great compassion that the Bodhisattva bears for us can only be repaid with the deepest respect and sincerity. How do we express that on this sacred day?
1. Freshen ourselves and sincerely chant the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
2. Make sincere offerings of flowers, fruits and gifts to the benevolent Guanyin Bodhisattva.
3. Join the group chanting practice at the Bodhi Meditation Center. If you stay far away from the center, you can chant together with us in your home, anytime between 8.30 in the evening to 1 in the morning. Group practice is beneficial as it yields much stronger energy and builds a stronger connection with the merciful Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva has vowed to help all sentient beings who call out to her, freeing them from suffering, pain, poverty and sickness. On this auspicious day, let us offer our sincerest gratitude and receive the blessings from the most compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva!
