【孝敬父母,為人準則。】
.
「五月」是孝親的月份。
在《雜寶藏經》中記載了這麼一段感人的故事…
.
佛說:「有二種惡行,他的果報如擊球反彈般快速,能令人快速墮下地獄。是那兩種呢?
1⃣. 不孝敬、奉養父母。
2⃣. 父母還健在時,作奸犯科,做了種種惡行,使父母臉面無光。
.
但是,世間也有兩種正行,能快速使人享受福報。是那兩種呢?
1⃣. 奉養、孝敬父母。
2⃣. 父母健在時,廣修善法,使父母善名遠揚。」
.
接著,佛陀又說了一則故事……
.
「從前,在雪山裡有一隻鸚鵡,牠的父母因為雙目失明,不能外出覓食,鸚鵡每天都會飛好幾里地外,到處去蒐集好的菓子回來供養雙親。
.
鸚鵡經過一處農地,看見有一位善良的農夫,他正發願要將自己種的稻穀,與天地間所有的眾生一同分享。鸚鵡聽完他的誓願,以後便經常至此,蒐集穀糧。
.
一天,農夫到田裡巡視作物,發現最近很多稻穗被啄斷了。農夫起了懊惱之心,竟在田裡設下網子。
.
隔天,當鸚鵡再來的時候,正好被網子給逮個正著。農夫發現補網有動靜,便走了過來。
.
鸚鵡見了農夫說:『還記得您先前曾發願,要將稻穀布施給天地萬物嗎?所以我才敢經常到這兒來覓食,現在您怎麼反悔了呢?』
.
農夫聽完,想起了自己的願望問:『你拿這麼多稻穀要給誰吃呢?』
.
鸚鵡:『是要奉養我雙目失明的父親、母親的。』
.
農夫聽了特別感動,於是告訴鸚鵡:『以後,你可以自由地在我這兒拿取穀糧。』
.
當時的鸚鵡就是佛陀的過去生,農夫是舍利弗,盲父、盲母即是淨飯王與摩耶夫人。」所以,人的一份善願,能促成一份善緣的聚合,並且不斷延續下去…

#金菩提禪語、#孝敬父母、#百善孝為先、#五月台曆

【Demonstrating love and respect for one’s parents is a basic principle of being an evolved human being.

May is the month of filial piety
This is a touching story that was recorded in the Miscellaneous Treasures Sutra…

The Buddha said: “There are two kinds of evils. The karma from committing these two evils will cause a person to rapidly fall into hell just as fast a ball rebounds after being hit. What are these two evils?
1. Not honoring or supporting parents.
2. When parents are still alive, one flouts the law and commit many evil deeds dishonoring and embarrassing the parents.

However, there are two kinds of right actions that can allow one to enjoy positive karma quickly. What are the two?
1. Taking care and honoring parents.
2. When parents are alive, carry out good deeds, giving parents a good reputation.

The Buddha then shared another story…

“In the past, there was a parrot living in the snowy mountains. Since Its parents were blind, they could not go out and hunt for food. Hence, the parrot flew a few miles each day to collect good fruits to feed his parents .

One day, the parrot passed by a farmland and saw a kind farmer. The farmer was willing to share his rice with all beings in the world. After the parrot listened to his vows, it often went to collect the grain.

One day, the farmer went to the field to inspect his crops. He discovered that many of his rice crops had been pecked off recently. The farmer felt annoyed and decided to set up a net in the field.

The next day, when the parrot came back, it was caught in the net. The farmer found that there was some movement in the net and came over to inspect.

The parrot met the farmer and said, “Do you remember that in the past, you made a vow that you would give your rice to all sentient beings in heaven and the earth?” That’s why I dared to come to your farm to get food. Are you turning back on your promise now?

Upon hearing that, the farmer remembered his vow and asked the parrot , “Why did you take so much rice then?” 』

Parrot: “I need to support my father and mother who are both blind and unable to look for food. ”

The farmer was extremely touched. He told the parrot: “In future, you are free to take as much grains as you like from me.”

The parrot was actually the Buddha in his past life. The farmer was Sariputta, the blind father and mother were Suddhodana Gautama and his wife, Maya Devi . Therefore, a vow to do good can bring people together through fate and will continue on and on.

This story is adapted from one of the volumes of the famous sutras.

【父親、母親、對不起!】
.
昨天晚上,一位網友留言:
「師父,我今天才知道,我其實有父母親的……」
.
「怎麼了,你從小被遺棄了嗎?」我問
.
他說:「沒有沒有,是我一直認為我的父母親根本不愛我,我已經有很多年沒給他們打電話。」
.
她說:「因為父母親平日熱衷於工作,沒有太多時間照顧我們,回到家,也都是先照顧年幼的弟弟,所以我一直覺得自己就像是個沒有爹娘的孤兒,早早就考試到離家很遠的大學讀書、後來乾脆留在外地工作,不回家鄉了。
.
但是,這次您的念佛班,您一直講,如果小時候父母少照顧我們一天,我們都活不下去。
.
在念佛的過程中,我回想起很多幕年幼時的場景,讓我突然明白了,其實父母親是愛我的。他們沒有時間陪我,也是為了賺錢養活我們。所以念完佛,我趕緊去打電話,現在我已經坐車回到父母家,終於又找到了家庭的溫暖。
.
今天我鼓起勇氣向父母親道歉,爸爸媽媽抱著我說:『是我們不好、讓你受委屈⋯⋯』可是,我非常的懺悔,我大錯特錯了,這麼多年對父母親的冷漠,讓他們擔心和傷心⋯⋯我和父母親哭抱在一起……我做錯了多少事情啊……」
.
我回傳道:「改變心念,心存感恩。幸福就在眼前。祝福你!」
.
我希望每一個孩子都能夠盡力孝順父母親。
.
家裡的親情與愛可以融化一切的隔閡、誤會,只要你去努力、你的人生也會從此改變!

【I am sorry, my dearest Dad and Mum!】

Last night, I received a message from an internet friend: “Master, I have come to realize today that I do, indeed, have parents…”

“What happened? Were you abandoned as a baby?” I asked.

She replied: “No no, but I have always felt that my parents did not love me. Because of this, I have not contacted them for many years.”

She continued: Due to the long hours that my parents put in at work, they did not have much time to look after us. The moment they reached home, they would spend what little time they had caring for my little brother. Because of this, I have always felt like an unloved orphan. Hence I enrolled myself into a college that is far away from home and stayed in a distant city to work after graduation. I have not returned home since.

In the recent online chanting class, you kept emphasizing on the fact that we would not be alive today if our parents had been negligent for even one day.

While chanting, I had many recollections of scenes from my childhood. Suddenly I can see the love my parents have for me. They did not have time to spend with me because they were busy making a living to keep us alive. I called them immediately after the chanting session and have since gone home and rediscovered family warmth.

Today, I finally worked up the courage to apologize to my parents. They hugged me and said: “The fault is ours… We have let you down…” I am truly deeply remorseful. I have committed a big mistake in the past, treating my parents with cold indifference all these years, hurting them in the process and making them worried about me. I hugged my parents and cried with then… How wrong I have been…”

I replied to her: “With the change of mindset and a heart of gratitude, happiness is now within your grasp. I wish you all the best!”

I hope that every child will do their best to be filial to their parents.

The love at home can help to overcome all misunderstandings and disagreements. As long as you put in the effort, your life will definitely transform for the better!

俗話說: 無冤不成夫妻,無仇不成父子?有解藥嗎??
.
.
我們總是把最壞的脾氣、最糟糕的一面,留給最愛我們的爸爸媽媽。而父母也常常懷疑:自己生養的孩子簡直就像來討債的,為什麼本應溫馨的家庭,變成了每天吵架的戰場?
.
一起來看看馬來西亞潘小弟的故事吧。

——————————————————————————

【我不再脾氣暴躁,改善了和媽媽的關係】
.
我叫潘瑞裕,今年25歲,來自馬來西亞。禪修前,我的脾氣很暴躁,和媽媽的關係很不好,會跟她吵架,有時我甚至會生氣地掀翻桌椅,常常惹得媽媽很傷心。在家裡看到她時,我常常會躲進房間或出去跟朋友喝茶,避開她。
.
去年(2016年)7月,我通過菩提禪修的宣傳資料認識了菩提禪修。過後我偶爾會跟著媽媽一起來龍泉禪堂禪修。今年8月,我載媽媽來禪堂上念佛班,順便接受一位師兄的能量加持,過後和師兄聊天,師兄與我分享了他和兒子的關係。接受了能量加持和聊天後,我的脾氣好了一些;第2天,我繼續來禪堂與其他的師兄姐聊天,也是給了我很大的啟發,師兄姐們要我把心打開,並且說了很多鼓勵我的話語;第3天我到了禪堂後,感覺很奇怪為什麼很多人見面時都會說「吉祥如意」,我也開始嘗試跟幾位比較熟悉的師兄姐講「吉祥如意」。就這樣慢慢地我開始把心打開,能感受到周圍人對我的關懷和寬容,我也開始請教他們禪修的方法,並開始修練《大光明》和大禮拜。
.
我來禪堂的次數越來越多,在這裡的朋友也越來越多,很多人都願意幫助我。我開始和大家一起做義工,覺得越做越開心。逐漸地,我的脾氣沒有那麼暴躁了,我對媽媽的態度開始改變,而媽媽在禪修後也沒有那麼囉嗦了。媽媽也跟我講「對不起」,我們的關係開始好轉!現在我們可以一起聊天,一起有說有笑了。從那時候開始,我沒有再跟媽媽吵架了。
.
接著,我報名參加了於8月底開課的健身班。課程第5天為母親念佛時,想起以前對媽媽的態度,我忍不住邊流淚邊真誠地在佛前向媽媽懺悔。念佛過後,我整個人輕鬆了很多。當時還上臺分享了我的收穫。當天晚上回家後,我跟媽媽當面道歉,並對她和爸爸說:「我愛您!謝謝您!」我和他們擁抱,他們都很開心,也對我講「我愛你」。現在的我越來越開心。
.
之前我在禪堂求籤求到的都是中簽,後來再求,求到的都是上上簽了。
.
聆聽了金菩提宗師的開示後,讓我感受到自己其實是很幸福的,我學會了感恩、懂得了體諒和禮讓別人,不再跟人家爭東西。以前我要的東西是一定要得到的,不會去理會他人的感受,現在,我會先想這個東西是不是我該得到的。我也懂得了珍惜和關心身邊的人,現在我的脾氣也好多了,我會繼續修練下去!

As the Chinese idiom goes: Foes are usually reincarnated as husband and wife while enemies are usually reborn as father-and-son. Is there a way to break this cycle?

Our dearest parents who love us the most are usually on the receiving end of our worst temper. We always show our worst side to our parents as if they are our debtors, when they are actually benefactors who gave life to us. What is it that makes us argue constantly with our parents? Why do we turn our homes into battlefields everyday?
Let us listen to the story of Brother Pan from Malaysia.
———————————————————————–
【I have lost my fiery temper and my relationship with my mother has improved tremendously】

My name is Rui-yu Pan I am a Malaysian and am 25 years old this year. I had a very bad temper before I started practicing meditation. Due to my bad temper, I used to have a terrible relationship with my mother – I was always quarreling with her and sometimes I would even flip the table in anger. This always made my mother very sad. In order not to stay at home with her, I would often make appointments to meet my friends for tea. Even when I am home, I would hide in my room to avoid her.

In July last year (2016), I came across some materials about Bodhi Meditation. I started to accompany my mother to the Klang (Dragon Spring) Bodhi Meditation Center occasionally. In August this year, while sending my mother to the center for her chanting class, I met a dharma brother who performed energy blessings on me. We chatted after the session and he shared with me what happened between him and his son. After the chat and the energy blessings, my temper improved. The next day, I turned up at the center again to chat with the other dharma brothers and sisters. They were very supportive and encouraged me to open up my heart.

On the third day, I noticed that the people at the meditation center greeted each other with “May you be blessed with good fortune”. This form of greeting sounded strange to me, but I still tried it on the few dharma brothers and sisters whom I knew. Gradually, my heart opened up. I was touched by the care and concern that the people here extended to me. I started to seek their guidance about meditation practice and started practicing prostration as well as the Meditation of Greater Illumination regularly.

As I visited the Meditation Center more often, I made many new friends who were all very helpful towards me. I started to volunteer in the center and my happiness level increased. Over time, I noticed that my temper improved. My attitude towards my mother also changed for the better. Meditation has also improved her; she nagged a lot less and even apologized to me once. Since then, our relationship has improved tremendously. Instead of quarreling, we chat and joke with each other freely these days, like good friends.
In August the same year, I signed up for the Health and Happiness retreat. On the fifth day of the retreat, while we were chanting for our mothers, I had a flashback of how I used to treat my mother and I broke down. As tears fell, I knelt before Buddha and repented sincerely for my treatment of my mother. I felt a lot more at ease after the chanting session. I even went onstage to share my story with the class. When I reached home that night, I apologized sincerely to my mother. I hugged my parents and told them: “I love you! Thank you so much everything that you have done for me!” They were very happy to hear that, and told me that they loved me as well. I am becoming a happier person day by day.

In the past, whenever I drew divination lots in the meditation center, I would always get neutral lots. Since my transformation, all the lots that I have drawn are auspicious ones!

Listening to Master’s teachings made me realize my good fortune. I have learned to be grateful for what I have and to be more understanding and forgiving towards others. I no longer fight for things with other people. In the past, I would spare no effort in fighting for what I wanted, without caring about other people’s feelings. Now, I would consider maybe that thing is not what I should have. I have learned to treasure and care for the people around me and my temper has also improved tremendously. I would definitely continue my practice!

【週六網路共修預告】(2017年5月13日)
.
.
在一個農村裡,有一位平凡的母親,家裡很貧窮,她的兒子後來很爭氣的考上了狀元,兒子做了官,又被皇帝大臣家的小姐看上,日子過得風光又舒服,但他卻沒有返鄉接母親一起去城裡享福。
.
這位母親因為思子心切,就到城裡去找兒子,因為兒子是高官,母親一下就找著了,兒子看到自己的母親又醜又髒,穿得破破爛爛,覺得實在臉上無光,所以就不認自己的母親。富家小姐是個知書達禮的人,知道為人子女必須孝養父母的道理,便勸說夫婿,告知父母恩重難報的偉大恩德。狀元本性是善良的,最後悔改了,他知道自己錯了,不該貪那一面虛榮,連基本善良的人性都失去了,因此與美麗賢慧的夫人迎回母親,共同孝養天年。正所謂:「兒不嫌母醜,狗不嫌家貧。」
.
我們每天在母親無微不至的關懷下,往往感受不到這份濃濃的愛,反而不如一個跟你沒有血緣關係的人,給過你的一次幫助那麼清晰,對於母親給我們的「愛」僅剩嘮叨。其實,有些人生中的障礙,有些疾病,是因為你無德、不孝、無情、無義的行為而引發的。
.
所以,我們今天生命的好壞,與我們的祖宗有著直接的關係,與我們的父母有著直接的關係。要想做一個有福氣的人,就要懂得知恩圖報。今天在母親節的偉大日子裡,我希望大家一起來為母親祝福、祈福、用一顆感恩的心,誦念得再真誠一些。
.
歡迎大家本週六與我一起,為最偉大的母親念念佛,祝福他們健康吉祥、幸福快樂!!.

Notice on Online Global Group Practice (Saturday, May 13, 2017)

In a remote village, there lived an ordinary mother and her son. They were very poor but the son was very diligent. During one of the state examinations, he performed really well and earned himself the top scholar position and was subsequently offered a high ranking official role with the court. With luck on his side, he even married the daughter of a wealthy and powerful court official. Though he led a comfortable life, he did not return to his village to fetch his elderly mother to the city.

As his mother missed her son dearly, she decided to search for him in the city. Given his position in the court, she managed to locate him without much effort. The son, upon seeing his shabbily dressed mother, felt ashamed and refused to acknowledge her. The daughter-in-law was a virtuous lady with good upbringing. Upon seeing this, she reminded her husband on the importance of filial piety and persuaded him to take care of his mother. The son, a kind person by nature, finally realized his mistake and regretted his earlier reaction. Together with his wife, they brought the mother home to live with them for the rest of her life.

We tend to take our mother’s endless love for granted but remember clearly the little helps rendered by others. In fact many of our life’s obstacles and diseases are due to our lack of virtues, kindness or filial piety.
Our destiny today is closely linked to our ancestors and parents. If we want to enjoy good fortune, we must know how to repay our parents for their kindness.

With Mother’s day approaching, I hope everyone will join me this coming Saturday to chant for our mother. Let us chant with sincerity and gratitude. May they be blessed with health, auspiciousness and happiness!

在一個農村裡,有一位平凡的母親,家裡很貧窮,她的兒子後來很爭氣的考上了狀元,兒子做了官,又被皇帝大臣家的小姐看上,日子過得風光又舒服,但他卻沒有返鄉接母親一起去城裡享福。
