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.

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?

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！
