戴上魔法帽
.
關於神奇，大家都知道哈利波特，
關於菩提，她發現了這頂魔法帽?
神不神奇，看看就知道…

————————————————————————–
奇妙的緣起…..
.
我幫女兒報了網球夏令營，似乎是個錯誤的開始。。。
.
一開始，我問女兒要不要學打網球?
對網球一無所知的她，愣愣地問我：「那是什麼？」
我想起自己高中時打網球的美好回憶，回說：「就是很好玩的運動啦！妳去學會了，可以回來跟媽媽對打。」
我陶醉在可以和女兒一起打網球的美好憧憬?…..。
.
結果，第一天上課回來，女兒一臉氣嘟嘟。
「媽～～妳幹嘛叫我去打網球，我一个球都打不到」
「那有什麼關係，妳是初學，打不好很正常。」我說
「可是別人都打的很好！我爛透了。」
.
這時，我才知道這個營隊雖然開設初級班，但是來參加的孩子，大都是想進高中網球隊的，之前多少已經有奌基礎。
我只能一臉抱歉地說：「啊～～學費都繳了。妳不要想著去和別人比，就是去學就對了。」
但是，接下來的幾天，每次網球課完，就會聽到一速串的抱怨和哀聲嘆氣。
「網球根本不適合我」
「我討厭一直撿球的運動！」
「唉！我覚得教練根本放棄我了」
「我爛透了，沒救了」
.
唉～～
.
今天上課前，我心裡還盤算著傍晚該帶女兒去做額外練習，免得她的挫折感這麼大。結果聽到在車後座的女兒說：「我的帽子呢？」
.
忘了帶？好險昨天去參加戶外禪修拿了兩頂菩提帽，隨手就放在車上。
.
「妳就戴這個帽子去上課吧！這質料很軽很薄，不怕曬。」我對女兒說
女兒猶豫不定地盯著帽子看。我為了鼓勵她戴，又加了一句：「戴上吧！禪堂來的帽子，有神奇的力量喔！」
.
女兒揪個鼻子看看我，把帽子戴著去上課了。我心裡不禁暗自祈求著：「上師啊！保佑這孩子上網球課順利吧！」
.
結果一下課，我就看到滿臉春風得意的女兒走過來，上了車，她說：「這頂帽子有魔法嗎？怎麼這麼神奇。我今天真的打的比較好。網球一奌都不難嘛！」
.
哈雷路亞！這真是一頂神奇的菩提帽。
感恩上師！感恩諸佛菩蕯！

Putting on the Magical Cap
In regards to magic, we all heard about Harry Potter,
In regards to Bodhi, she found a magical cap.
Is it really magical? Continue reading to find out…

Here’s where the magic starts…
I registered my daughter for a summer tennis camp, and it seems to be a mistake right from the very beginning…
When I asked my daughter if she wanted to learn tennis, she gave me a blank look and asked “what ‘s that?”. Recalling my fond memories of playing tennis during my high school days, I replied: “It’s a fun sport! Why don’t you pick it up and play with me?” and look forward to enjoying the game with her in the near future.
So, on the first day of the training, she came back moody.
“Mom, why did you make me learn tennis? I can’t even hit the ball!” she cried.
“It’s ok, that is normal since you’re still in the beginners’ class” I replied
“But everyone except me played well! I’m not happy.” my daughter continued to complain
Then I realized that though the summer tennis camp was meant for beginners, the participants were mainly those working their way to get into the High School team. Hence, the standards were much higher than beginners level.
So I apologetically told her, “ Well, since we’ve paid the fees, why don’t you just learn the basics and not compare yourself with the rest of the participants.”
In the subsequent days of training, my daughter would return home with lots of complaints and grievances.
“Tennis is not for me.”
“I hate to have to pick the balls all the times.”
“Sigh, I think the coach has given up on me”
“I’m done, and hopeless”
Sigh…
Today, as I was sending my daughter to the tennis training, I was thinking of giving her additional training in the evening to help her pick up and gain confidence. Suddenly she shouted out at the back of the car, “where‘s my tennis cap?”
Have she forgotten to bring her cap? Luckily I left two Bodhi caps in the car after attending an outdoor meditation activity yesterday.
“Why don’t you take my Bodhi cap? They are light and made of good material to help block the sun rays.” I suggested.
As my daughter was hesitating, I added, “Take it. These Bodhi cap has special magical powers!”
Unwillingly, she took the Bodhi cap, and I prayed silently, “Master, please protect my daughter with a smooth tennis training lesson…”
Surprisingly, when I pick her up after the training class, she was proud and joyful. She exclaimed: “Mom, is your Bodhi cap a magical cap? I put it on and played well today! Tennis is not that difficult after all!”
Alleluia, it is indeed a magical Bodhi Cap!
Thank you Master, thank you Buddha.
