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。
