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。
.
願大家都能健康、幸福、快樂!

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)
*菩提禪修不提倡自行停藥、減藥,請遵循醫囑

Secrets of beauty



Beauty Secrets – Q & A

Q : How does meditation enhance beauty?
(Actual case: There was a class participant who was more than 60 years old. On the last day of her course, her daughter came to fetch her for dinner. At the entrance of the center, the daughter expressed in surprise upon seeing her mother, “Is that really you, mother? Why have you become so youthful, and beautiful?” 
The elated mother replied, “ It’s me - your mother! I’m aware that I’ve “become” younger.”)

A :
In meditation, it is foremost that we learn to relax. When our body, brain, inner organs, and muscles are relaxed, the energy and blood circulations will be smooth. The meridians and blood vessels that were previously constricted would be restored naturally. With robust circulatory systems, our appearance – becomes beautiful; our brain – develops wisdom; our heart – gains a robust life-force. At the same time, with good physical circulations, we naturally experience health, happiness and beauty.
Thus, meditation can bring calm as well as benefits to our body, mind and spirit.

The most important reason for the beauty benefits of meditation lies in the development of compassion. As one practices, one gains compassion, and do not easily become angry and frustrated. With a gentler personality and stable temperament, one’s words and deeds naturally manifest kindness and serenity emanating from within - an innate sense of confidence and gracefulness - qualities that are beyond the benefits from cosmetic surgery.
Thus, meditation can enhance appearance, offering beauty.
Dear friends, if you wish to become beautiful, please come and learn meditation.

The beauty benefits of meditation are legendary. If you’d like to be beautiful, we welcome you to come and realize your dream.

美麗秘笈__問與答

問:禪修為什麼能美容?
(真實案例:有個六十多歲的學員結業那天,她的女兒來接她去聚餐。女兒在禪堂門口一見到媽媽說:你是我媽媽嗎?怎麼這麼年輕、美了?
媽媽高興的說:我就是你媽,我知道自己變年輕了。)

答:
禪修首先要學習的是---放鬆,當我們的身體、大腦、內臟、肌肉放鬆了,氣血就會順暢,原來堵塞住的經絡、血管、自然就暢通了。臉部通暢了就會變---美麗;腦部通暢了就變---智慧;當心通暢了就成為---生命的能量;同樣的,當身體都暢通了呢,自然就會擁有---健康、快樂與美麗。

因此,「禪修」能使我們身心自在。
禪修能美容,還有一個最重要的原理,就是修「慈悲心」,當你有了慈悲心,就不容易生氣、煩惱,心就會柔軟、當情緒穩定了,言行舉止自然就會變得溫和而從容,由內而外散發出來的自信與美麗,是整容無法完成的。

「所以禪修,能夠幫助美容,變得更美麗。」
朋友們如果想變美一些,請來學習禪修吧。

「禪修」變美麗就是個傳說,歡迎想變美麗的你(妳)一起來實現這個傳說。

Can cosmetic surgery change one’s fortune?


Don’t choose cosmetic surgery, there are better options!

Q : Will one’s fate and fortune change with cosmetic surgery?

A :
No matter how beautiful one’s appearance, without substance or sufficient depth of character, self-confidence would still be lacking and thus the effects would not last. If one wishes to improve the fate and fortune, one should first work on him/ herself to reap the collective benefits.

Another aspect of cosmetic surgery is that it may worsen one’s fate and fortune.
We are born genetically different, and we have our own auspicious look. Your bone structure and facial features are inherited. If we change them by going through plastic surgery and destroy our already blessed looks, our fortune and fate may turn for the worse.
However, if you feel that you look very bad, and need to cosmetically elevate your nose bridge for example, then go ahead!!!

My beauty advice:
Try meditation! Meditation helps enhance self-confidence and develop the depth in character. With these qualities, the motivation to enhance one’s appearance diminishes, as one is self-assured and possesses real competence.

整容會改運嗎?
不用整容  你可以有更有效的選擇!
.
問:「整容」命運會不會也跟著改變呢?
.
答:
無論妳外表多美,沒有了實質內涵就會不自信,一切就會不長久。若想「改變命運」要先「改變真正的自己」,才能兩相吻合。

另一個方面,「整容」,可能會讓命運變壞。
每個人遺傳不同,各有各的吉相,你的骨骼,你的面相是順著你的基因承襲下來的,如果借由整容去改變,造成吉相被破壞,會可能導致運氣、命運跟著變壞。
當然,如果你覺得自己實在不太美,比如需要墊高鼻子,那就墊吧!!!
.
我的美容建議:
試試「禪修」吧!「禪修」會讓人變得自信、有內涵,咱們有內涵了,就不需要去包裝外在,因為咱們憑的是本事。

The Inconceivable Benefits of Chanting



【 Guanyin Bodhisattva: Inspirational Story】 The Inconceivable Benefits of Chanting


Chanting can bring inconceivable benefits, do you know that?
Let me share two stories with you :

There was a disciple who was of good character and also very kind. His father had passed away for more than three years. Since then, he had continued his chanting practice. Yet he experienced bodily aches in several places, including blockage at the heart and difficulty in breathing, causing him much torment!

As I recall, he chanted most fervently at one of the Medicine Buddha events. His thoughts were: He had chanted for over three years but why hadn't his father been liberated? He cried as he chanted and even after the event, instead of leaving, he continued to chant.

Later, our practitioners asked me to take a look. I did so and saw him crying in despair. Coincidentally, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas allowed me to witness the sight of his father climbing out from his place of suffering and over the wall to a white and illuminating realm.

The gods had come to fetch the father, who then turned into a ray of white light and left with them. I described the appearance of his father. He said "Yes", that's his father! Suddenly, the disciple burst into tears and said, "Master, I feel unobstructed and comfortable! I've never been this blissful and happy, after having been miserable for years".


There is another story:
Three years after her father passed away, she had repeated dreams about her father being punished in hell. Demons would use fire to burn his whole body, causing ruptures and bleeding. They continued until he was charred before throwing him into water. She came to asked me, "Master, can you tell me what is this dream of my father about?"

After listening to her, I said, "The issue with this 'fire' is due to past karma committed by your father; and the issue with the 'water' is due to water flooding his grave now."

This disciple called her brother to check on the father's tomb and found the tomb had collapsed and sunk. A gaping hole at the coffin’s corner had let water flood the tomb. Her father was really soaked in the water. They hurriedly called someone to repair the tomb.

A few days later, she dreamt her father was not soaked in water anymore, but the demons were still burning her father. She asked again, "Master, what can be done?"

I offered her this piece of advice, "..Recite and chant to Avalokitesvara for your father everyday.." She knelt and chanted for three days to Avalokitesvara for her father, three hours each day.

Three days later, she happily ran to me and said, "Master, I dreamt of my father again. The demons was still burning him. Then from the sky, water suddenly fell like crystalline beads of a waterfall pouring onto my father's body. The wounds on his body automatically healed. I also saw my father's face, and he had reverted to his healthy and happy 40-year-old appearance. I also saw the Bodhisattva waving her hand, and with it, my father drifted up and was fetched by a boy. Thereafter, I no longer dreamed about my father suffering in hell."

Having listened to these two stories, why do you think different people need different time spans to achieve the results? One chanted for 3 years and 8 months while the other for three days in order to liberate their fathers from hell? This relates to the issue of negative karma that I had mentioned before; some karma are light, some are heavy. Karma is not visible to the naked eye, yet it exists and influences your spiritual, health, life, work, marriage, and family aspects. It is not the least bit absent or lacking.

If you take quantitative as a metaphor to measure merits from chanting against negative karma, it's like the see-saw principle: the amount of karma has to be matched by similar amount of chanting to achieve a balance. Often, practitioners would compare why another's disease has recovered, whereas it's not the case for oneself - is it that Buddha takes better care of him/ her?

We have come to learn, to study the underlying essence on the nature of things. Once we understand the concept, we would not be misled by the appearance our eyes see. Having understood the truth, we also need to learn to accept, face up to it, and break free to transcend.

【觀音靈感故事】唸佛號的不可思議事


唸佛號會產生什麼不可思議的事,大家知道嗎?
我來講二個故事給大家聽聽:

有一個弟子人挺好的,也很善良。
他父親往生三年多了,這三年來,他一直持續唸佛,但他全身不是這裡痛、就是那裡痛、心臟堵住呼吸不順暢,被痛苦折磨著!

我印象中記得,在一場藥師佛法會,他拼了命的誦念,他心裡想,他已經念了三年多了,他的父親為何還是不得解脫,他一邊哭一邊念佛,法會結束了,他也不走,一直繼續誦念著。

後來,就有同修讓我去看,一看,哇,他哭得好傷心。很巧的,佛菩薩讓我看到那個景象,我看到他的父親從受苦的地方爬呀爬的,翻牆到了白色的晶亮世界。

天神來接走他,他的父親就化成一道白光,跟著神走了。我告訴他,他父親長什麼樣子。他說對,那正是他父親!突然間,這個弟子就大哭了起來,還說:「師父,我全身好通暢、好舒服啊!我從來沒有這麼幸福快樂過,這麼多年來我太痛苦了。」


還有另一個故事:
她父親往生三年以來,她一直夢到父親在地獄遭受刑罰,惡鬼用火焰將他全身燒得裂開又流血,再繼續燒成焦炭,然後把他扔到水裡,一直重複這樣的過程。她來問我:「師父啊,父親這夢是怎麼回事?」

我聽了後跟她說:「這個燒火的問題,是你父親他過去做的業力造成的;這個泡水的問題,是他現在的墳漏水了。」

這個弟子,打電話讓她弟弟去父親墳上一看,她父親的墓地,已經坍塌往下沉陷了,墓角有個大洞讓雨水把墓給灌滿了,她父親果然泡在水中,他們趕緊叫人來把墓給修好。

隔幾天,她又夢到父親不泡水了,可是惡鬼還是用火燒她父親。她又問我:「師父,這可怎麼辦啊?」

我就拋給她這樣一句話,我說:「每天給父親誦念觀世音菩薩聖號吧。」她連續給她父親跪著誦念了三天觀世音菩薩聖號,每天三個小時。

三天後,她高興的跑來跟我說:「師父啊,我又夢見父親了,夢中獄卒又是拿火燒他,突然天上掉下來像水晶珠子一樣的瀑布水,沖到父親的身上,他身上的傷口就自動癒合了。我看見父親的臉,回復到他健康快樂四十歲那時的樣貌。我還看到菩薩一招手,父親就飄了上去,一個童子將父親接走。後來,我再也沒夢到父親在地獄受苦了。」

聽了這兩個故事,為什麼一個要唸三年零八個月,一個唸了三天,父親就脫離地獄了?
這就是我說的業力問題,業力有的人輕、有的人重,業力用肉眼看不到,卻真實存在著,影響你的精神、身體健康、生活、工作、婚姻、家庭。一點不虛,一點也不少。
如果用物質量化來比喻念佛力與業力,那就像蹺蹺板原理一樣:有多少的業力,就必須有多少的念佛力,才能達成平衡。常常一起來修行的同修們會比較,為什麼她身體疾病好了,我沒有,是佛比較照顧她嗎?

我們來學習,就是要探究了解事物背後的本質,了解了,就不會迷失在眼中所看到的相。瞭解道理後,還要學會去接受、面對、超脫。
