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.

【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 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.

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.”

廚房運動大賽結束，本來形勢看好的筷子居然沒能得到名次，大家怕它傷心，紛紛過來安慰它。只見筷子搖頭：「沒事，你們不用安慰我，因為拿得起，放得下的只有我筷子。」

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！！
