Learn About Meditation


【Online Global Group Practice on Saturday 】 Learn About Meditation

A few years ago in Singapore, there was an abbot’s mother in her seventies who disliked walking. If she really needed to go out, she would ask, “Do I need to take the lift or climb the stairs to get there? If there is no lift, I will not go.” She was afraid to climb stairs because of her leg pain.

Later, she came and learnt Energy Bagua for 108 days.  When I next saw her, the old mother could squat and jump easily and even repeat the movements before me. She happily told me, "Now I can even run up the stairs."  She achieved remarkable results after spending an hour a day for 108 days to practice Energy Bagua.

In fact, the principle and method of meditation is simple, yet effective. As long as the body’s energy level is enhanced, diseases will naturally slow down or heal, thus restoring one’s health.

At the same time, meditation also enhances our cognitive ability, such as developing our wisdom, inspiration and spirituality.
Join us in our discussion today on how “Meditation” can bring about benefits to the body, mind and soul.
I welcome you to help circulate & share this post.
May all be healthy and happy.

【週六網路共修】_認識禪修
.

幾年前,新加坡有一位住持禪師的母親,約70多歲,那位老母親非常討厭走路,如果真需要出門,她就問:「去他家是坐電梯還是走樓梯呀?如果他家沒有電梯,我就不去啦。」因為腿痛,讓她害怕上下樓梯。
.
後來,她來學習走了108天的「八卦內功」,我再見到她,這位老母親當著我的面蹲下、跳起來、蹲下、再跳起來,她開心地告訴我:「現在我上樓梯是用跑的,不用走的了。」她僅用108天的時間,每天走一個小時《八卦內功》,就能得到這麼好的效果。
.
其實,禪修的原理與方法就是這樣簡單,效果卻非常顯著,只要把身體的能量增強了,身體的疾病就會自然和緩,甚至痊癒,,恢復健康。
.
同時,禪修還能使我們的綜合能力得以提升,像是開發智慧、啟發靈感、心性提升....等。

Five Color Strings




Five Color Strings
A Bodhi practitioner wrote in his letter: “I used to be in constant fear even when at home. However, since I got my five color strings and dzi bead from Bodhi Meditation center, I am not so fearful anymore".
Five color strings has the ability to eradicate calamities and negative forces; and has calming effect. When worn together with the dzi bead, the effect is enhanced.
Five color strings is also known as the five color silk or five color thread. In the old days, it was common to see the elderly making five color strings for babies to wear as blessings.
The five colors represent the five elements and possess the mysterious power to dispel dark forces and attract the auspicious. According to an ancient record in a book in the Eastern Han dynasty, tying a five color strings to our wrists can eliminate negative forces, eradicate calamities and avoid epidemics.
Bodhi’s five color strings emanates auspicious energy since they are specially blessed. When worn together with the dzi bead, it dispels evil forces, eradicates calamities and blesses the wearer with longevity.
It is especially suitable for daily wear in the seventh month of the lunar calendar. Five color strings can be worn on the wrists or around the neck.
If worn for an extended period of time, five color strings has calming effect and increases the charismatic aura of the wearer. This can bring positive affinities and wearers find it easy to receive help from benefactors.

You can get an auspicious five color strings at any of our Bodhi Ullambana blessing event or at our meditation centers.

五彩繩
.
.
有同修來信說:「以前在家裡什麼都怕,自從在菩提禪堂請了五彩繩和天珠以後,我就不再恐懼了。」
.
五彩繩確實有消災避邪、調和心性的作用;與天珠一起佩戴,效果就更佳了。
.
五彩繩,又俗稱五色絲。小時候,見到老人手工製做五彩繩,給娃兒們帶,保平安。五色代表五行,具有神秘的驅邪迎吉作用。早在中國東漢的《風俗演義》中就已有記載,說把它繫在臂上可辟邪去災、不染病瘟。
.
我們菩提法門的五彩繩經過加持後,更具殊勝的吉祥能量,和天珠等一起佩戴,驅邪避災,益壽延年。特別適合在農曆七月時隨身配戴,五彩繩可以戴在手上當手鏈或做成項鍊。長期佩戴,使人心情平和,散發親切魅力,獲得貴人相助。有需要的朋友可於各地菩提禪堂盂蘭盆法會當天,親至禪堂迎請吉祥五彩繩。

HanHui Monk


From the Video:
Hanhui monk was a Buddhist monk who lived in a monastery.  He followed the strict rules as a Buddhist monk and practice chanting and meditation daily.   One day he went to town, and couldn’t resist the fragrance of dog meat.  He thought to himself, "I will take a day's leave from Buddha", broke the precept and ate dog meat.  The next day, he developed 18 painful boils all over his body.  He couldn’t sleep or wear any clothes as his skin was too painful.  Everyone avoided him when they see him.   One day he had a dream of his enemies from his past life.    He was a General in his past life, and wrongly executed 18 of his men who were innocent, together with two other men found guilty of rape.   These 18 men hated him and had been looking for him for 200 years.   But they couldn’t find him because he had hidden in the monastery all these years.  However, as he broke the precept and ate dog meat, his guardian deities (of the Dharma) left him. This presented an opportunity for his karmic debtors to finally seek him out.   The Hanhui monk pleaded with them to let him go.   His karmic debtors said he has not accumulated enough merits and gave him three more years to live.  His boils miraculously disappeared the next day.    For the following three years, the Hanhui monk continued to stay in the monastery following the rules and practice chanting and meditation daily.  Three years later, he developed boils again and passed away.
.
The Hanhui monk broke the precept and ate dog meat, resulting in his guardian deities (of the Dharma) leaving him, presenting an opportunity for his karmic debtor to seek him out.
.
The precepts in Buddhism is like the traffic lights signal, giving us warning so that we don't get hurt.
.
We may face difficulties, worries and misfortune in our lives.  These were actually the effect of the hurt that we had caused on known or unknown karmic debtors from our past lives
.
The impact of these karmic debtors can be too great for us to overcome on our own.   One of the ways to resolve is to sincerely pray to Buddha for help.
 .
Through chanting, light offerings to Buddha, accumulation of merits, we sincerely pray to the most compassionate Buddha to bless our karmic debtors to be happy, to be free from troubles, and to be in paradise.   When our karmic debtors are appeased, we can then be happy and have peace in our lives.

寒輝和尚
.

寒輝和尚因聞狗肉香味而破戒,使得護法神遠離,而給了窺伺在旁已久、找尋了幾百年的「冤親債主」,有了討債的機會。所以佛教這個戒律,就像交通信號燈,是為了讓自己和他人不再受傷害!
.
我們生命中有很多痛苦、煩惱和不幸,其實是來自於歷代以來我們無知無明而傷害過的冤親債主,有時候他們對我們的作用力是非常大的,且無法逃脫。導致這些累世以來的冤孽、債務,可能我們自己消不了,但是有方法可以化解的,那就是──真誠地祈請佛菩薩來幫我們消。

.
通過念佛、佛前供燈、積功累德等,真誠地祈請大慈大悲的佛菩薩送給他們一份祝福,讓一切的冤親債主能夠最好、最快速地得以解脫,離開苦海,到達極樂世界。安撫好了我們宿世累劫的冤親債主,才能讓我們能夠安心、幸福、順利地生活在這個世間。

Wisdom of chopsticks


Sharing a joke here to live up your Monday blues.

At the end of a Kitchen Exercise Competition, a potential winner, Chopsticks, didn't win any prize. Everyone was worried Chopsticks might be sad and came to console him.
Instead, he shook his head and said: "I'm alright so don't need to console me as I'm the only one that can let go and pick up easily.”

Secret Revealed:The Effectiveness of Light Offering


Question: Why do we always see the lightning before hearing the thunder? Does light travel faster than sound?

Answer: Yes! Light travels a lot faster than sound. In actuality, lightning and thunder occur at the same time; the difference is that light travels at a higher speed than sound. Light travels at a speed of about 300,000 kilometers per second in air, which means it can complete seven rounds around the Earth’s equator in one second compared to sound which travels at 350 meters per second in air.  That is only 1/900,000th the speed of light.

Using the same logic, when we make light offerings to Buddha, the light will help us to rapidly establish a connection with Buddha. When we make light offerings on behalf of our family and relatives, our blessings, the energy of light and the messages of good fortune will help to speedily fulfill our well wishes for them.

Let us listen to the story of a fellow practitioner’s miraculous experience with light offerings.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

(Testimony)
I am an ordinary housewife. Some time back, I went to the hospital after feeling a lump in my breast. The hospital confirmed that I had a tumor, but further diagnosis was needed before we could tell whether it was benign or malignant. Not long after that, I ran into my neighbor in the market and she introduced me to Bodhi Meditation upon seeing that I did not look well.

At that moment, I decided to give myself a chance. I postponed the appointment at the hospital and thought to myself: Let me go for my tests after my meditation class! With the Meditation and Health magazine clutched tightly in my hand, I made my way to Bodhi Meditation Center and signed up for the Health and Happiness class. I also took the volunteers’ advice and lit a 7-day light in front of the Buddha, praying to Bodhisattva in my heart to help me overcome this huge obstacle.

On the seventh day of the class, while we were doing the closing exercise, suddenly I realized that I could not feel the lump in my breast any more. The tests at the hospital confirmed the miracle – the tumor has disappeared without a trace! No words could describe how ecstatic and touched I felt at that moment, that such a miracle actually happened to me! This personal experience has dispelled all doubts I had about dharma practice.

I hope to share my good health and happiness with all of you. May all of you be blessed with good health, safety and great fortune.

If you like this story, please feel free to share it, and send your blessings to your loved ones!

《佛前供燈靈驗大解秘》
.
問:為什麼先看到閃電,後聽到雷聲?閃電是不是比聲音更快速呢?

.
答案:是的!光的速度要比聲音的速度快的多。
其實,閃電和雷聲是同時發生的,只是光的傳播速度,要比聲音的傳播速度來的快。
光在空氣裡,每秒可達30萬公里,以這樣的速度環繞地球赤道,一秒鐘就可以跑完七圈半。而聲音呢?它在空氣中每秒為350公尺,只有光速的九十萬分之一。
.
同樣的道裡,咱們在佛前點燈, 借助「光」的傳遞­可以快速地與佛相應,當我們為家人親人點燈祈福、溝通吉祥、光明的能量,可以快速的幫助您實現願望。 。 。
今天跟大家分享一個同修,她點燈的奇妙體驗。
.
--------------------------------------------------------
(分享)
我是一個平凡的家庭主婦,沒多久前突然摸到自己乳房有一顆腫塊,到醫院檢查後確診為腫瘤,但必須經或化驗才能判斷腫瘤是否為良性,一次的機緣,我出門去市場買菜,鄰居見我氣色不大好,便介紹我到菩提禪修。 。 。
.
當下我決定給自己一個機會,原本預約好一週後要到醫院手術做化驗,我向醫院延後檢查的日期,想說等參加完課程再去醫院檢察吧!就拿著鄰居給我的「禪修與健康」雜誌,報名了菩提禪修「健身班」,並聽從許多人的建議,在佛前點了一盞七日酥油燈,心中暗自祈求菩薩,幫我度過這一個劫關。 。 。
.
健身班到了第七天,我例行做收功拍打,突然發現摸不到胸口那顆腫塊,到了醫院檢查,結果奇跡發生了,經醫生驗證,我的腫瘤已消失無蹤,我當下感動又開心,直想著這樣的奇蹟竟然會在我身上發生,一次的親身體驗,我對修行再也沒有疑惑了。
願將我的感動、健康與大家分享,並祝福大家身體健康,平安吉祥。
.
喜歡就請分享,並把這份祝福傳達給你想祝福的人吧!!

The Foundation of Compassion


Some time ago, an elderly man asked, "We are now in our sixties and we like to play mahjong during our free time. The sum involves is less than ten dollars. Is this considered gambling?"-- Yes!
As parents, if you gamble ten dollars, your child can potentially gamble one million. If both parents smoke, it is highly possible that your child will learn to take drugs!
The child would say: "You can smoke, so I can consume a pack of drug. Isn’t it all poison?” Your child will exhibit worst behavior than you. The key is how you guide them.

The bodhisattva way of life in Buddhism is not only about performing good deeds. It also means whether you set a good example for others to do good deeds. A bodhisattva will fear bad cause and will think through how his or her action will impact others before carry out the act. A bodhisattva will not return a vengeful act with revenge or return a wrongful act with a malicious act. On the contrary, a bodhisattva will love all sentient beings with gratitude and compassion. To be a compassionate person.

In this week's Global Group Practice, let us explore how we can lead others towards compassion in the real life.
You can leave a message to share your thought and experience with those in needs so that they too can benefit.

慈悲的根基
.
前段時間,有老人家問我:「我們現在六十歲以上了,閒來無事,每天打打麻將,贏和輸不會超過十塊錢,這種行為算不算賭博?」
答:「算」
因為做家長的賭十塊錢,你的孩子將來就可能賭一百萬。還有啊,父母都吸煙的,孩子就可能學會吸毒!孩子說:「你們吸煙可以,我吸包毒又怎麼啦?不都是毒嗎?」孩子看樣學樣,還會變本加厲的,關鍵是你引導了孩子什麼?
.
在佛門中講到的「菩薩行」,就是指不光是自己做好事、還要讓自己的行為引導著大家也去做好事。所謂:「菩薩畏因」,菩薩與凡人的區別,就是菩薩的言、行、舉、止,都會去思考,是否會引發別人做出什麼來——不以仇報仇、以怨報怨,而是用感恩之心、慈悲之心去愛天下人。簡單的說,就是要做一個慈悲的人。
.
本週的共修,我們就來談談如何成為一個「慈悲」的人,如何在現實生活中行菩薩行、同時引導他人走向慈悲。歡迎大家留言、分享。你的感想和經驗會給其他需要幫助的有緣人提供啟示,希望大家都能夠受益。

You can do it!


There is a couplet:
Believe you can succeed and you will, regardless of the odds.
Believe you will fail and you definitely will, regardless of how good you are

Language emanates energy. When parents praise and encourage their children, they are effectively blessing their children with positive energy and this can bring out their children’s’ full potential;  Demeaning words emanates depressing negative energy and this can destroy the life of your children. Hence, I am adding a horizontal hanging scroll to this couplet: (You can do it!!)
Parents, please “gift”  this sentence to your children too.


The video illustrates how the use of same words when used differently can convey a very different meaning and energy.
In the first example, the words are used to scold a child for being useless due to his results being worse than his peers.This has a negative connotation. After rearranging the words, the comment now reflects his uniqueness and reduces the need for him to compare himself against others.

The words in the second example basically questions a child on why he is still unable  to answer a particular question despite his repeated practices and ends with the child being labeled as stupid. Again, the words are demeaning to a child. After rearranging the words, the statement now becomes encouraging - You are not stupid, you just need more practice.

Hence the way we speak to our children can influence their future and determine whether they succeed later on in life!

你能行
.
有一幅對聯:
說你行,你就行,不行也行;
說不行,就不行,行也不行。
.
語言是有能量的,父母對孩子說話的時候,肯定鼓勵的話,就是加持祝福的正面能量,能激發出孩子的無限潛能;否定貶低的話,就是消極的負面能量,就可能毀掉了孩子的一生。所以,我給這幅對聯加一條橫批:「你能行!!」父母們也把這句話送給孩子們吧。

Meditation helps to regain health, happiness & confidence!


Farewell to prolong suffering from hyperthyroidism and menstrual cramps

Illness does not only affect the elderly. Since young, she suffers from swelling of the thyroid that affected her body, emotions, life, career and interpersonal relationships. As years passed, the symptoms aggravated. After 11 years searching for a cure in her fight against hyperthyroidism, she finally discovered that the end to her nightmares in life lies in a non-medical approach. Let us hear her story….
------------------------------------------------------------
My name is Yanling Li.
Ten years ago, when I was 16 years old, I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism. The disease made me suffer from an accelerated heartbeat, exophthalmos, shaky hands, thick neck and poor sleep interrupted by many dreams. The lack of sleep made it difficult for me to focus on my work and my temperament deteriorated. As my neck was thicker than normal, I lost my self-confidence and did not have the courage to wear shirts without collars. The doctor advised against surgery as the probability of relapse is high. I took the medication prescribed by the doctor for 4 years, which helped to regulate my heartbeat, reduced the swelling of my neck as well as ease the trembling of my hands. However, the medication had side effect, which caused my body to swell all over. There was also no improvement to the quality of my sleep, and the doctor advised me to stop the course of medication. Not long after that, all the previous symptoms returned with a vengeance.

When I realized that western medicine was unable to help, I  turned to traditional Chinese medicine for a cure. Over the course of more than 11 years, I have used up almost all my savings, and yet I was unable to find a method to help me or ease my pain. I was very disheartened! In addition, due to my sleeping problem over the years, I became more and more moody and unable to focus. To add on to my woes, I started experiencing serious menstrual cramps from the age of 22 years. The cramps were so bad that I had to take medical leave almost every month. My work  efficiency declined and so did my relationship with my colleagues.

The 7-day class tremendously reduced the swelling on my neck and my menstrual cramps
A friend encouraged me to signup for the “Thousand practitioners Energy Bagua event” at the end of 2016, followed by the 7-day Energy Bagua Foundation class in January of 2017. On the third day of the class, a pungent smell constantly emanated from my throat. It felt as if there was a lot of phlegm dissolving away. During this period of time, I kept throwing up phlegm and the swelling on my neck showed signs of getting smaller. At the end of the 7-day class, the swelling on my neck greatly reduced in size, and even my decade-old sleep problem showed signs of improvement: I was able to fall into deeper sleep as the occurrences of dreams reduced. Even my menstrual cramps reduced in intensity. My skin became smoother, my hands no longer trembled and my heartbeat returned to normal. Other than the physical swelling, almost all the other symptoms of hyperthyroidism were gone.

As my mind and body went through uplifting improvement, I became a volunteer to serve the public.
All these changes made me ecstatic: I have finally found the solution to my health problems! At that instant, I was filled with a great sense of hope. No words can describe my sense of exhilaration! Since then, I have persevered on by practicing Energy Bagua daily. The ambience of the meditation center and the enthusiasm of the volunteers filled me with warmth. I felt like this was home. Hence I signed up to be a volunteer in the meditation center in February

Following that, I also attended the Health and Happiness Meditation Class in March. As I listened to Master JinBodhi’s teachings, I was uplifted in both body and mind. Colleagues felt that I had become a lot gentler and my interpersonal relations have improved. As my family witnessed the changes in me, they became very supportive of what I was doing, and even wanted to attend the Health and Meditation class to increase their understanding of Bodhi Meditation.

Now, every morning, I practice an hour of Energy Bagua, followed by an hour of Meditation of Greater Illumination.

I am eternally grateful to Bodhi Meditation, and to Master JinBodhi, for regaining my health, happiness and confidence! I have also vowed to follow Master’s compassionate teachings and help more people regain their health and happiness!

(Note: Effects of meditation may vary for individuals)
* Bodhi Meditation does not encourage stopping or reducing medicine dosage without consulting the doctor. Please follow the advise of the doctor.

擺脫長年的「甲狀線亢進」與「痛經」。
.
疾病其實不是老年人的專利,年紀輕輕的她,因為甲狀腺腫大,嚴重的影響她的身體、情緒、生活、工作與人際關係,並且症狀隨著年紀增長也跟著加重,長達11年的尋醫之旅,與甲亢奮戰,現在她終於找到擺脫如惡夢般生活的方法,一起來看看她是怎麼做到的.....
.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
我叫:李燕玲
十多年前(16歲)我被診斷出患上了甲狀腺腫大。這導致了我的心跳加速、眼突、手抖、脖子變粗,晚上睡覺多夢難眠。長期的睡眠不好也讓我變得越來越難以專心做事,脾氣暴躁。而脖子變粗讓我很自卑,不敢穿沒領子的衣服。醫生不建議我開刀,因為復發率會很高。吃了醫生給我開的藥4年多後,心跳總算回復正常,脖子也稍有收縮,手抖情況也改善了。但是藥的副作用導致我全身浮腫,而且睡眠方面沒有改善,醫生就建議我暫時停藥,但是停藥不久後,之前的症狀又復發了。
.
西藥不能根治我的病,因此在超過11年的時間裡,我不斷四處尋找中醫療法,積蓄差不多用完了,還是沒有找到辦法幫到我,疾病還是沒有好轉。我徹底失望了!而且因為多年來的睡眠問題,我的情緒變得越來越糟糕,做事更難專注。令我雪上加霜的是,從22歲開始,我更被痛經所困惱,幾乎每個月都痛得要請病假。這種種問題影響到了我的工作效率及與同事的關係。

7天的課程,改善了我的大頸泡和痛經。
經過朋友介紹,抱著試試看的心態我參加了馬來西亞2016年底的「千人八卦」活動,並報名參加了2017年1月份的7天「八卦內功」基礎班。課程的第3天,我的喉嚨裡不斷發出陣陣難聞的味道,感覺到好像有很多痰在融化。這期間我不斷地吐痰,發覺大頸泡有縮小的跡象。7天的課程圓滿後,我發現我的大頸泡竟然明顯地縮小了,而且10多年的睡眠問題也大大地改善,做夢的次數減少了,我睡得比之前沉穩了,連經痛也舒緩了很多,再不會痛到沒法上班,我的皮膚也變光滑了。手抖沒有了,心跳也正常了,除了外形外,幾乎所有大頸泡的症狀都消失了。
.
身心靈獲得了提升 當義工服務大眾
這一切的變化,實在讓我太振奮了,我終於找到方法改善我的健康問題,刹那間我整個人充滿了希望,非筆墨所能形容我當時的激動和感歎!從那時開始,我堅持每天走「八卦」。禪堂的環境和義工們的熱情讓我感覺很溫暖,好像回到家一般。所以我在2月份就報了名在禪堂當義工。
.
接著,我也參加了馬來西亞3月份的菩提禪修健身班。禪修後,除了健康問題改善了很多。透過聆聽金菩提禪師的開示,我的身心靈也提升了很多,同事們都覺得我比之前柔和了,人際關係也得到了改善。家人看到我的改變,從一開始的不支持和擔心變成現在的支持,甚至說要來禪堂參加課程,以便對菩提禪修有更多的瞭解。
.
現在,我每天堅持走「八卦」1小時,修練「無量大光明修持法」1小時。
.
感恩菩提禪修!感恩金菩提禪師!讓我找回了健康、快樂與自信!我也發願,要學禪師的慈悲理念,幫助更多的人找回健康與快樂!

Chanting for parents and ancestors benefits descendants



Chanting for parents and ancestors benefits descendants (September 2, 2017)

Question: “Ancestors should bless the descendants with prosperity and peace. However, why are some people constantly suffering from bad luck, disease, financial woes and breakups?
Let me share a story that may be of some help to many people.
One day, a mother brought her child to see me.
The mother said, “Since birth, my son’s whole body has knife-like stripes. I took him to see both Western doctors and Chinese physicians but to no avail as none could identify the cause of his problem. He constantly had nightmares of blood dripping from his body and body turning into a pile of bones. Master, please help save my son!” After further probing, I found out that the mother’s father and forefathers were all chefs. Their expertise was cooking live fishes. The cuts that they made on the fishes resembled those marks on his son’s body.
I told the mother, “Go before the Buddha, chant and repent sincerely for your parents and ancestors. Not only that, you have to diligently carry out good deeds such as releasing captive animals, offering lights before the Buddha and contributing to the construction of dharma cultivation halls. Otherwise, I have no other way.”
She followed my advice and did a series of good deeds. A month later, the marks on her son’s body cleared out almost half.
Thus, the force of merits accumulation and sincere repentance is great! Past misdeeds of ancestors and parents would be passed on to the descendants in the form of uneasiness, illness, obstacles and hindrances in lives.
There is a saying - Sincere chanting of Buddha’s name is worth more than a ton of gold. Through light offering and sincere chanting for our parents and ancestors, we seek blessings from the Buddha and bodhisattvas. Only when our ancestors attain freedom and peace will we be safe, auspicious and peaceful.
So how do we “chant and repent” to eliminate karmic debts and obstacles transmitted to us by our ancestors?
Welcome everyone to join me in this coming Saturday’s “Chanting for parents and ancestors” session. May all be free from suffering and gain liberation soon!

為父母祖宗念佛,利於子孫(2017年9月2日)
.
問:「祖先應該要保祐後代子孫,家宅興旺、順利平安?但為何有些人卻總是家運不好,進而生病.破財.家庭失和呢...?」
我說個故事給大家參考,也許會對許多人有幫助。
.
有一天,一位母親帶她的孩子來見我。
母親說:「我的孩子生下來,全身都是一條一條像刀劃過的斑紋,我帶孩子看遍了所有中、西醫,都沒有辦法處理,也找不出原因?孩子還經常做惡夢,夢到自己全身鮮血淋漓、甚至更夢到自己全身就剩一堆白骨。求師父救救我的孩子吧!」我瞭解了一下才明白,原來女士的父親、爺爺祖輩們全都是廚師,祖傳最擅長的菜餚,就是烹活魚,在活魚身上劃出一道一道口子來烹飪,這就好像她孩子身上的痕跡。
.
我告訴這位母親說:「妳去佛前用真誠的心,為自己的父母、祖先懺悔、念佛,並且需要勤力去作一些善行,好比說「放生、供燈、發心建道場」吧,不然我也沒別的法子了。」她聽完回去做了這一系列事情的一個月後,她兒子身上的斑痕明顯地淡了一半。
所以,做功德、懺悔的作用力太大了!因為我們的祖先、父母過去所做過的一切錯事都會遺傳下來,使子孫後代不安,造成種種的疾病和人生障礙。
.
「真心誦念一句佛號,勝過萬兩黃金。」我們通過為父母祖先念佛、供燈,祈請佛菩薩加持。當我們的祖宗能安寧、祥和、自在了,我們才會平安、吉祥、自在。
.
那麼要如何通過「懺悔、念佛」來消除祖宗所遺傳給我們的業力呢?
歡迎大家在這週六與我一起《為父母祖宗念佛》共吧。祝福朋友們早日離苦得樂!

What goes around, comes around



In compassion and blessings, "what goes around, comes around"


With every compassionate thought, we bring ourselves, and this world a gift of positivity.

Here's a touching story to share:
An afternoon more than 100 years ago, there was a poor peasant working in the field in an English village. Suddenly, he heard a distant cry for help. A boy had unfortunately fallen into the water. Without hesitation, the peasant jumped into the water and saved him. Later, it was learnt that the rescued boy was a child of a nobleman.

A few days later, the noble boy's kin personally approached the peasant with gifts as gratitude. The gifts however, were returned as the peasant felt that he had rescued the boy purely out of good conscience.

The story does not end here.
Of strong admiration for the peasant's kindness and respectable character, and gratitude for his meritorious deed, the nobleman decided to sponsor the peasant's son for advanced education in London.

Years later, the peasant's son graduated from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School in London with excellent honors. He was subsequently knighted by the British Crown, and won the 1945 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. He is Alexander Fleming, the inventor of penicillin.

The nobleman's son also grew up. He suffered from severe pneumonia during the Second World War, but fortunately recovered shortly after applying a penicillin dose. This gentleman was the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill.

Whether peasants or nobles, those who extend a helping hand to others in times of need plant a virtuous seed in the lives of future generations, and even for the country, as evident in this story.

As the maxim goes, "grasp the world in a flower, seek compassion in a thought ", it is no surprise that all occurrences are not mere coincidences. The world may be immense in scale, but also intimate in essence. Just as a rose can reflect an entire universe; a compassionate intention can fill the universe with magnificence.

“Pray to Buddha to be lead to Paradise; your ancestor will be received by the Buddha and your descendants will be nourished with Amrita.”

Our parents give birth to us, nurtured us and brought us up; it is difficult to repay such kindness. Similarly, how are we to repay our parents from our previous lives as well as our ancestors’ kindness in giving birth to us and passing down the lineage.

Therefore, we need to pray for our ancestors for their good fortune and sincerely pray that Buddha protects them and set them free from samsara. With Buddha’s compassion and supernatural power leads them to the Eastern Paradise to enjoy eternal bliss, happiness and prosperity.

When we pray for our ancestors, we also benefit ourselves. When our ancestors are in the Buddha’s Paradise, we ourselves are not far from having a life full of wisdom and happiness. The lives of our family and descendants will be more smooth-going and lucky while we become more successful and without obstruction.

「求佛接引極樂界,祖宗得佛接引,甘露潤養子孫。」
.
我們的父母親生養我們、培育我們,大恩難報,而我們歷代的父母親、以及歷代祖宗也同樣對我們有生養與傳承之恩。
.
所以,我們要為我們的祖宗祈福,真誠地祈求佛陀保佑他們、解脫他們,借助佛陀的慈悲、法力接引他們解脫到東方極樂世界,讓他們獲得永恆的幸福、快樂、富貴。
.
為祖宗祈福,也能利益我們自己。當我們的祖宗被佛菩薩接引到極樂世界,那我們就離智慧、幸福的人生不遠了,我們的家庭、我們的子孫會更順利、更吉祥,我們的生命才會更圓滿無礙。

Fragrance of Bailu Tea



The third solar term of Autumn – Bailu (White Dew), falls on September 8th in the Gregorian calendar this year.  After Bailu the weather turns cooler, with thicker dew drops in the early morning, condensed and accumulate into water droplets called “white dew”.

The people have this saying, "Tea in Spring is bitter, tea in Summer is  acrid; if you want to enjoy your tea, take the Bailu in Autumn".  The golden autumn season brings with it clear skies and cool weather, with light cloud and gentle breezes.  The tea tree grows more moderately, with the vapors of the night condensing into dew on the plant.  In the process, the essence of nature is distilled as the warm vapors from the atmosphere cools naturally, and is absorbed by the plant.  Therefore, Bailu tea is not as delicate as tea in Spring, that cannot be steeped as much, nor is it as dry and heavy as tea in Summer; yet there is a uniquely sweetness, mellow and luxuriant flavor.

In the embrace of the light autumn wind, practice a few rounds of Energy Bagua followed by sipping the White Dew tea and enjoy the best gifts of nature. What can be more gratifying than this?

白露茶飄香
.
秋天的第三個節氣──白露,今年在陽曆9月8日。白露以後,天氣轉涼,清晨的露水也隨之增厚,凝結成一層瑩白的水滴,故稱為「白露」。
.
民間有這麼一說:「春茶苦、夏茶澀,要好喝、秋白露。」金秋季節天高氣爽,雲淡風輕,茶樹生長緩慢,夜間水汽在茶樹上凝結成露,茶葉吸收了天地由暖變涼階段的自然力量。因此,白露茶不像春茶那樣嬌嫩、不經泡,也不像夏茶那樣乾澀,反而有一股獨特的甘醇濃厚味道。
.
在習習的秋風中,走幾圈八卦,活動活動筋骨,再品一杯白露茶,享受大自然賜予,還有什麼比這更愜意的呢?

Chanting for parents and ancestors


【Online Global Group Practice】 Chanting for parents and ancestors (Septemper 2, 2017)
Once upon a time, there was a businessman who wanted to dig a well in the vicinity of his home. He hired an expert to help him with it, but for unknown reason, it was never successful. Time and again, they dug into locations which should have water underneath, but all of them turned out to be dry wells. The businessman went to a temple one day to seek the Buddha’s help. The abbot of the temple took a look at him and exclaimed, "It will be very difficult! I can see one of your ancestors, probably your grandfather, cut off other people's water supply in order to irrigate his own land! There is no way you can get water easily now because of that!"

Actually, this is an action. An action will lead to an effect. Such is the universal law of nature. We need to understand every action will lead to a reaction. Such forces may pass on to us by our ancestors, thus affecting our lives.

Therefore, in order for us and our descendants to have a better life, we must do more charitable acts, offer light before the Buddha and chant with a repentant heart. The all-compassionate Buddha has great blessing power and can help us resolve many of our past wrongdoings committed due to our ignorance into auspiciousness.

In this Saturday’s group practice, let us discuss how we can transform our destiny through chanting for our parents and ancestors. I welcome you to share your thoughts and experiences here. You may even share articles which may be of some help to others.
May all enjoy health and happiness!

【周六网络共修】为父母祖先念佛(2017年9月2日)
从前有一位商人,要在屋子周围打井。他很富裕,也请了有经验的人来,可是连着几次,看着该有水的地方,打下去,却就是没有水。有一天,他去庙里求佛,想尽快能够在家周围有井可以打?住持看到他,就说:「不容易呢!我看到你的祖先,可能是爷爷吧,为了浇灌自己的田地,把别人的水源全给截断了!你怎么能很容易的有水喝呢?」
.
其实,这就是一种作用力,有因必有果,所谓的自然规律。要明白我们一切的行为都会产生作用力,而这股作用力,也会从祖先那里遗传,影响给我们。
.
所以,为了让自己活的更好,甚至让子孙也能活得好,我们要多做善事、在佛前点灯,并用忏悔之心来念佛。大慈大悲的佛陀,是具有大能量的人,能帮我们化解许多曾经,我们因为不懂事而犯下的错误行为,所产生的种种仇恨,转为吉祥光明。
.
本周共修我们就来谈谈,如何为祖先念佛,以及改变命运的方法,大家可以留言分享你的感想和经验,或分享这篇文章,给其他需要帮助的有缘人。祝福大家都能得到健康和快乐。

Meditation helps with weight loss!









Successfully shed almost 30Kg.
Many people do not lose weight successfully because they lack perseverance.
For instance, you spent much time and effort to lose weight and you managed to shed just a few pounds. Once you see delicious food, you cannot resist the temptation, and gobbled down two roast ducks. Two days later when you step on the weighing machine, you realized your weight returned to "square one".
Thus, without steadfast perseverance, one cannot succeed; likewise with cultivation and practice. To boost your confidence, let's look at a real life story of successful weight loss!
---------------------------------------------------
My dharma name is Qihua and I am from TaiChung.
For 15 years , I was plagued with negative energies as I had to care for my family members who fell sick one after another. Before this, my husband was the one who took care of the household. I lived a sheltered life until the day he fell sick. From then on, I had to be strong to shoulder that responsibility.
After 3 years, my body could not bear it any longer. Once, I accidentally sprained my spine while teaching my students and had to recuperate in bed for 8 months. To aggravate matters, I was diagnosed with endometrial cancer. My body collapsed with the onslaught of multiple illnesses. My weight increased from 54 Kg to 83 Kg. Due to the pain in my back, I could not sleep well every night and even when I managed to nod off, I would be awakened by the intense pain.
Thanks to the compassion of Master JinBodhi; he must have known about my sufferings and hence "arranged" for my colleague to pass me a magazine from Bodhi Meditation, “Meditation and Health”. That was how I was introduced to Bodhi Meditation. I signed up and started to practice Energy Bagua daily. During my first practice, my steps were lopsided. One hour later, my entire body was drenched in sweat. I had never felt so relaxed and comfortable in 13 years. That moment on, I was in love with Energy Bagua.
I would automatically wake up and proceed to the designated practice area for my daily Energy Bagua practice. In less than 2 months, I lost 8Kg. After some time, one hour of practice per day was not enough to satisfy me. Hence I decided to wake up at 3 am in the morning. First I would prostrate before Medicine Buddha, which I had enshrined and worship at home. Next I would practice Energy Bagua from 4am to 630am. After my practice, I bathe and take my breakfast before heading to work.
Because of my perseverance to practice Energy Bagua for more than 3 hours daily, my body started to lose body fats, like deflating an inflated balloon. My husband was shocked at my weight loss of 28Kg.
When I officially retired in Aug 2016, I stepped into Bodhi Meditation center and got to know Bodhi Meditation in greater depths. I realized then that there are many other useful meditation methods, apart from Energy Bagua; much like opening a treasure box with endless treasures within. I felt very happy and excited.
I signed up for every single one of the classes. My feelings and experiences varied for each class. When I saw Master JinBodhi for the first time, I experienced a feeling of kinship though I could not explain why. When Master walked into the hall, I lost control and cried. This persisted until Master left the hall.
Initially, I faced some obstacles when I wanted to join the class because I had to care for my father who has dementia. He needed help in bathing and cleaning himself. My siblings and I took turns to care for him and that Saturday was my turn. When my husband knew I wanted to attend the class, he offered his help for which I was very grateful.
What I took away from this class is Teacher Fayuan's sharing and elaboration on the key points of Energy Bagua. As I understood more, I was more comfortable in my Energy Bagua practice. Another point to share with all, is the revelation I discovered during my practice of the “Meditation of Greater Illumination”. When our heart and mind is at peace, our body will naturally aligned to be at peace.
(Note: The effects of meditation vary from person to person)
* Bodhi Meditation does not advocate the withdrawal from, or reduction of the use of prescribed drugs; patients are advised to consult and follow the doctor's advice.
很多人減肥不成功,全因自己造成的,沒有堅定心。
你費了九牛二虎之力,剛減了幾斤,看到美食,又忍不住美味的誘惑,然後猛吃兩隻烤鴨,兩天后一磅,诶..又圓滿了。
所以,無持久恒心則事事無成,修行也是如此。
來看看這位成功減重的真實案例,增加信心吧!!
---------------------------------------------------
我家住台中-法名「齊化」
十五年前,因為家人陸續的生病,為了要照顧他們,因此承擔了不少的負能量,而在這之前,家中所有一切的事物都是先生在扛,我就猶如溫室裡的花朵,直到他病倒之後,我便告訴自己一定要站起來,扛住這個家。就這樣過了三年,身體承受不了,在一次上課的教學當中,把脊椎摔壞了,臥床了八個月,所謂禍不單行福無雙至,不到一年的時間,子宮內膜癌就找上門,在這種種病症摧殘之下,身體便垮下來,體重更誇張的從54公斤飆升到83公斤,每天都是腰痛到無法入眠,更是時常痛到從睡夢中醒來。
(走八卦內功,成功減重28公斤;更認識了菩提與師父)
感謝師父慈悲,感受到了我的痛苦,我的同事蘭順師姊拿了本《禪修與健康》雜誌給我,讓我有機緣接觸菩提,並開始學走八卦內功。第一次走,走得東倒西歪,一個鐘頭後,全身濕透,這可是我十三年來從沒有如此的舒服暢快過。也就是此原因,讓我愛上了八卦內功,每當時間一到,便趕緊來修練,不到兩個月的時間,減重了8公斤。後來覺得每天一個小時不過癮,我就凌晨三點多起床,先去禮拜家中供奉的藥師佛,四點開始走八卦到六點半,結束之後簡單梳洗與享用早餐後再去上班;也由於天天持續花超過三個多小時來走「八卦內功」,我的身體就猶如膨脹的氣球漸漸消風,先生都嚇一大跳,非常驚人的,我總共丟了28公斤的肥肉。
在2016年8月退休後,正式踏入禪堂認識菩提。進來之後,才了解到這裡的功法這麼多,猶如寶藏一樣永遠也挖不完,讓我非常喜歡,後續有開課我也都報名參加,在每次上課,心中的體悟都有所不同。我第一次進入禪堂時,看見師父時,就覺得好像是我好久好久以前的家人,有著莫名的親切感,尤其是師父踏進禪堂之時,我便不由自主的放聲大哭,直到師父走離禪堂。
本來這次要來參加此班時有個障礙,因為爸爸有失智症,需要有人幫忙梳洗,每個禮拜六日輪到我來服侍,當老公知道我想要來上課,便跟我說:放心去上課,爸爸交給他吧。非常感恩老公幫我這個大忙。
這次參加班還讓我獲益體悟的,是八卦內功的幾個動作要領,當我慢慢領會之後,真得是越練越舒服。另外是進入藥師大光明的情境中,發現了心靜身體自然靜的修法。
這裡跟大家分享共勉之。

(註:禪修的效果會因人而異)
