在一次馬來西亞念佛班課堂上，她鼓起了勇氣分享…
(以下是璔濟師姐的禪修見證分享)
.
在兩歲的時候，我跌傷了右腿，右膝做了手術，因為當時治療不當，術後沒有及時矯正好，造成我的右腿比左腿短，變成長短腿。此後，我走路時無法掌握平衡，每當身體姿勢不當時，腰椎都會疼痛，所以，我不能跪立。這個問題讓我痛苦了好多年，我覺得這可能是自己的業力太重所致。
.
在這個念佛班中，為了消除我的業力，我嘗試著跪立念佛。六十多年來，我從來沒有試過跪立，但是這次就算身體疼痛，我也要這樣做。我想如果我在念佛中能忍受得了疼痛，可能業力也會被消除吧！於是，我就在念佛時把墊子墊高，望向藥師佛，然後真誠地跪立念佛。
.
在一整天將近七個小時的念佛中，我竟然跪立著念佛有3個小時之久，我感到很驚訝。一開始跪立時，我的膝蓋很痛，但是第二天，疼痛就消失了。而且，跪立念佛後，我發現腿和腰椎的疼痛竟減輕了好多。能夠跨越身體上的障礙，我好高興！
.
還有一個心性上很大的突破。以前我做事情總是非常衝動，遇到事情不能平靜地去思考。這次課程中聽到師父開示「意識光明」時提到，我們在情緒升起時，要先平靜下來，慢慢地思考，想好了再去做決定，這樣，錯誤至少會減少一半。我會牢記師父說的話，按照師父的教導去做，時刻提醒自己不要貪婪，要懂得感恩，懂得用慈悲心對待人和事，同時，我也會更加積極做志工，以幫助更多的人。

Sharing on health…
During a chanting class held in Malaysia, she mustered her courage to share…
(the following is Dharma sister Zengji’s meditation journal)
When I was just two years old, I fell and hurt my right leg. As a result, I had an operation done on my right kneecap. However, because the treatment was not properly administered, my right leg became shorter than my left leg. Hence I became badger-legged. Since then, I have difficulty balancing whenever I walk. When my body posture is not proper or straight, I would experience pain in my lumbar vertebra. Therefore, I am not able to kneel down. This problem troubled me for many years. I felt that it was the manifestation of my negative karma.
In this chanting class, I tried to maintain a kneeling position when I was chanting so as to eradicate my negative karma. For more than 60 years, I have not kneeled down. However, this time round, I insisted on kneeling though it brought me excruciating pain. I thought that if I could put up with the pain during chanting class, my negative karma would be eliminated! Hence, I adjusted the padding of my cushions, turned my face towards Medicine Buddha and sincerely chanted in a kneeling position.
I am very surprised to find that I could remain kneeling for 3 out of the 7 hours in the day. When I first started to kneel down, my kneecap was extremely painful. However, on the second day, the pain disappeared. Moreover, after chanting in a kneeling position, the pain in my legs and lumbar vertebra reduced significantly. I am very happy to be able to overcome my body obstacles!
I also experienced a spectacular breakthrough spiritually. In the past, I was prone to impulsive actions. I was not able to think through things calmly. In one of Master’s teachings, he reminded us to calm ourselves down when we are in a state of agitation and to consider our options before acting. In this way, we reduce the likelihood of making wrong decisions by half. I will always remember what Master said and try to abide by his instructions. I always remind myself not to be greedy but instead be grateful and compassionate towards people. At the same time, I will be more active in volunteering so as to help more people.
