傳家之寶
.
.
問:「請問世界上什麼功德最大?」
禪師答:「一滴水」。

問:「虛空可包天地萬物,那麼什麼可包虛空呢?」
禪師答:「一滴水」。。。
.
傳說,在「儀山」有一位頗有修為的老禪師,一天晚上,老禪師在洗澡的時候因為水太燙,就喚小弟子提桶冷水來加,小弟子將熱水和涼後,順手把餘下的冷水給倒掉了。
.
  老禪師敲了下小弟子的頭說道:「你怎麼如此浪費,世界上任何事物都有它的用處啊。就是一滴水,也有它很大的價值。試想在一片乾涸的地上有一株小苗,它就快要渴死了,你若將一滴水賜予這株小苗,不但救活了他的生命,還可能因此開出一片森林呢,雖然是一滴水,但是價值無限的大。
.
  小弟子聽後非常慚愧,若有所悟,於是將自己的法名取為「滴水」,這就是後來非常受人尊重的「滴水和尚」。
.  
人在世間有多少福報,這是有數量的。所謂:「道德傳家十代以上;富貴傳家不過三代。」一個人的一生,該擁有多少金錢、多少福壽、多少享用,都是有數的,就好比你在銀行存款,浪費過多的開支,最後都有使用完的時候。
.
而富貴之人,本是過去生中積攢一定的「福德」,才會有今日的富足。要想傳家久遠,就必須修積德行。所以我們要節用惜福,雖是滴水,也不廢棄,滴水雖微,匯集後的能量卻是非常強大的。
.  
祝福大家都能「以德傳家」,以守世世代代的福澤,富貴又吉祥!
喜歡就請分享,多傳多福!!

The Inheritance
.
Question: “What has the greatest merit in this world?”
Reply of the Zen master: “A drop of water.”
Question: “Emptiness encompasses everything in the universe. What can hold the emptiness in return?”
Reply of the Zen master: “A drop of water.”
.
According to legend, an accomplished Zen Master lived on the Mountain of Yi. One night, the Zen Master was about to take a bath and found the bath water to be scalding hot. Hence, he called out to his little disciple to bring in a pail of cold water to mix into the bath water so as to bring the temperature down. When he has finished his task, the little disciple proceeded to discard the remaining cold water.
.
The Zen Master gave the disciple a knock on the head: “How can you be so wasteful? Everything in this world has its purpose and value, even a single drop of water. If the drop of water is given to a little sapling that is withering on parched land, the life of the sapling will be saved. That may also be the beginning of the formation of a forest. It may have been just one drop of water, but its value is infinite.”
.
The little disciple was ashamed after hearing this. This was a valuable lesson to him and from then on, he took on the Dharma name “Water Drop”. This little disciple later grew up to be the renowned and well-respected monk known as the “Water Drop Monk”.
.
The amount of blessings and good fortune that a person enjoys on Earth is actually limited. As the saying goes: “An inheritance of morality will last for more than ten generations; An inheritance of wealth will not last beyond three.” The amount of possessions, wealth, good fortune and longevity that a person has in his or her lifetime is limited. It is analogous to the savings in your bank account – if you keep spending more than what you are earning, eventually all your savings will run out.
.
Rich and prosperous people are where they are today because of the karmic merits accumulated in previous lives. For that to last through generations, it is important to cultivate morality and accumulate merits. Be thankful for what we have, be prudent with our resources, and do not waste even a drop of water. A drop of water may seem insignificant, but the collective energy of millions of them is very substantial.
.
I give my blessings to all of you, and hope that you can pass on an inheritance of morality to your descendants, so that they will be blessed with good fortune, prosperity and wealth, generation after generation!

「什麼是風水?」 . 在過去,我去過很多…

「什麼是風水?」
.
在過去,我去過很多不同人的家裡,有的我一進去就感覺到:「喔,這個居家風水有些不吉祥。」一看他們的子女或家人,通常不太健康、個性比較不講道理,連帶的這個事業、工作都很不穩定。而一個有慈悲心、有做功德的家庭,他的家庭氣場就很詳和,你會很樂意在他家待著,可能這一代還是窮人,但下一代一定是富人。
.
我們成天講風水,你可以花錢請風水師,把你家弄得很有風水、很有感覺,但是那個風水不是給你的,是給下一個主人的,就像我們常說的「好風水還要配好命運」。
.
譬如在中國歷史上流傳的一個傳說故事,有一個人做了7把鋒利無比的寶劍,把一般的劍一砍就斷,這些寶劍鋒利無比。請問這樣的寶劍,如果讓一個最最普通的士兵獲得,會如何呢?這個士兵會變成將軍嗎?那我就告訴你,如果是一個武功普通的人拿著這樣的寶劍,就是他的死期到了。寶劍、寶馬配的是英雄豪傑,一個普通人拿上了一把鋒利無比的武器,只能導致讓自己早早滅亡。一個普通人就不應該拿這樣的寶劍,拿到就會惹來殺身之禍。
.
好風水是要給有根基的人,他才能享用這樣的榮華富貴。真正的英雄才能騎得了最好的駿馬,手裡握得住那把最鋒利的寶劍。
.
印度,曾經出過很多的寶石、鑽石,印度最好、最大、最重的寶石,現在是在英女皇的皇冠上頭。她除了有錢,她還有無上的權利,有整個大英帝國人來護衛著她,所以承受得起。如果是一個普通農民,挖到一塊這麼大的大寶石,想要謀財害命的人馬上會找上門,還不到明天可能命就沒了。所以在這樣的一顆寶石下,不知死了多少人,最終到了英女皇手裡,才讓這顆寶石的流血事件就此終止。
.
所以,好風水要配有福氣的人;大財富要給吉祥的人。人家為什麼發財呢?他為什麼有這個權力呢?因為他有這個基礎,也有這個資格,我們就稱之為善業,慈悲善業就是最好的風水。

.What is Feng Shui?

In the past, I have been to many homes that gave me an uncomfortable feeling the moment I stepped in. I would think to myself, “Oh, this household does not have good fengshui.” The children or other family members of the owner would usually be in poor health, be unreasonable in nature, and do not have stable jobs or careers. In contrast, a house that belongs to a family of compassionate and ,benevolent people will have a peaceful and comfortable ambience, which will make you want to stay longer. These people may be poor currently, but their offspring will definitely grow wealthy with time.

You can hire fengshui masters to improve the fengshui and ambience of your home, but that good fengshui may not necessarily benefit you. In fact, it may only bring benefits to the next owner of the house. This is most aptly described in the saying “Good fengshui needs to be matched with an equally good destiny.”

There is a Chinese legend about a person who made seven special swords that were especially sharp and could shear all other swords into two. What do you think would happen if these precious swords were to end up in the hands of an ordinary soldier? Would he transform into a general? Let me tell you, if a sword like that was to end up in the possession of a swordsman of mediocre skills, his end will be near. Precious swords and fine horses were only fitting for heroes with exceptional skills. If an ordinary man is to come into possession of a formidable weapon, it will usually result in his early demise.

Good fengshui and great wealth are meant for people with sufficient karmic merits. Only heroes can ride the finest steeds and take up the sharpest precious swords.

Many large diamonds and gems were discovered in India. Of these, the largest and, most beautiful and most precious gem is the one that is currently sitting on the crown of the British Queen. She is both rich and immensely powerful, with the backing of all the British people, which is why she can accept such a precious treasure.

If the huge jewel was in the hands of an ordinary farmer, he or she would have been robbed and killed the very next day. An uncountable number of people have lost their lives because of this precious jewel. The deaths were halted only when the jewel landed in the hands of the British Queen.

Good fengshui goes well with someone who has good fortune, while great wealth goes to someone auspicious, because these people have good karma. People become rich or powerful because they have sufficient karmic merits as the foundation.Compassion and karmic merits are the best fengshui that one can ever have.
