【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!
