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。

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。

Light Offering

Offering light before Buddha helps clear negative energy

Even in modern days, there are still many things that Science cannot explain. For instance, one may see or feel a black image entering their body in the middle of their sleep and start to experience discomfort thereafter; others fall sick after dreaming of deceased family and friends. Medical doctors fail to diagnose the source of their discomfort.  What recourse do we have to resolve these problems? Yugong from Taiwan would like to share on her experiences.

I am Yugong from Taiwan. In the year of 2014, my sister was residing in Australia. One night, she dreamt of a neighbor who had passed away many years ago. In the dream, the neighbor jolted my sister up from her sleep and tapped her head. Subsequently, my sister started to fall sick and suffered from bad headache attacks. Her discomfort went on for more than a month and although she sought medical help, her condition did not improve.

At that time, I was attending Bodhi’s meditation retreat and heard from other dharma brothers and sisters many testimonials on the benefits of making light offerings. With a curious mind, I offered a light on my sister’s behalf without informing her, to verify if it was efficacious.

Never did I expect to receive her call two days later. She told me her headaches had been alleviated even though she had not taken her medicine for 2 days. Upon hearing this, I told her I had offered a light to Buddha on her behalf. Since she felt better after one light offering, she asked me to make another light offering. Shortly, she recovered from her headaches.

She shared her experiences with her friends in Australia. Since then, her Australian friends often sought my help in making light offerings.  Within a few months, I have lighted 76 lamps at their request. Obviously these people must have benefitted personally and hence spread through word of mouth the miraculous effect of Bodhi's light offering - this explains why I continue to receive their requests.

This sharing is indeed a testament and reinforcement to the miraculous energy and power of Bodhi’s light offering.

【佛前點燈，消除邪氣】

.

世界上有很多事情，是目前的科學無法解釋的。比如有的人睡覺時，朦朧地看到一個黑影進到身體裡，之後就很不舒服；還有的人夢到已經去世的人，醒來後就莫名地生病了，科學上無法解釋，醫學上也查不出病因。那有什麼辦法可以解決嗎？臺灣的昱貢有經驗分享給大家。

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

我是昱貢，來自台灣。2014年的時候，我妹妹在澳洲居住。有一天晚上，她做了一個夢，夢到死去多年的鄰居，在夢裡拍了拍她的頭，她當下就驚醒了。沒想到從此就開始生病頭痛，一病就是一個多月，多次看醫生也不見任何效果。

.

當時我正好參加菩提禪修健身班，在課堂上聽到了不少師兄姐分享有關供燈的見證，我便抱著好奇想試試看的心理，在沒告知妹妹的情況下，給她點了一盞燈，驗證一下是不是真的那麼靈驗。

.

沒想到，過了兩天她打電話告訴我，說這兩天在沒吃藥的狀況下頭痛突然減緩，也沒這麼疼了。我這才告訴她，我有幫她點燈，她聽了又馬上追加一盞，不久頭痛也就完全痊癒了。

.

她把自己的親身經歷告訴了澳洲的朋友們，從那時起，她的澳洲朋友陸陸續續託我在禪堂點燈，短短幾個月內，我就相繼幫他們點了很多盞燈，可見大家都有受益，才會這般口口相傳、紛紛點燈。菩提供燈果真具有不可思議地神奇能量。

The heavenly law manifest justice

The heavenly law manifest justice; there is no way of escape.

Today is the 1st day of the lunar 7th month, an auspicious and friendly day.
Let me share with you a thought-provoking story!
It is a real life story from a Bodhi practitioner in New York. 
---------------------------------------------------------------

I live in New York—my name is Xiulan (a pseudonym). My family was very poor when we were growing up. My parents made a living from rearing pigs. Once, a female black pig gave birth to a litter of piglets. One of them looked very different from its other siblings. Its hair was all white except for some curly black hair at the belly area which seemed like the piglet was wearing a black belt around it's belly. Subsequently, all the piglets were sold except for this white piglet. Xiulan’s family tried selling it multiple times but was unsuccessful. There was a rumor going around: “Never seen such a pig before, it symbolizes inauspiciousness!” As a result, no one dared to buy this white piglet.

Xiulan had two younger brothers and she was the eldest child. Her mother was then pregnant with her third younger brother who was due for birth soon. After the birth of Xiulan's third younger brother, the mother thought of slaughtering the white pig for consumption since they were not able to sell it off and she was in her confinement and needed nourishment.

On that particular day, Xiulan’s mother sought the help of Xiulan’s uncle to slaughter the white pig to make stewed soup. As Xiulan’s uncle was preparing to slaughter the pig in the courtyard, her mother heard the pig wailing and screaming from the room where she was resting. She handed her baby, Xiulan’s younger brother, to Xiulan and proceed to help Xiulan’s uncle with the slaughtering of the pig. While Xiulan carried her new-born brother in her arms, she heard the wailing scream of the pig as it was being slaughtered and was so afraid that she hid in the room holding her brother tightly. Subsequently, there was only silence. When Xiulan recovered from the agony, she discovered that her baby brother was no longer moving and breathing in her arms!!

When her mother returned to take the baby from Xiulan, she was distraught to discover that her new-born had stopped breathing. Apparently, her baby died in his sister’s arms when the pig was being killed. This is such a tragic outcome...

As the saying goes, misfortune does not come in singles and blessings never come in doubles; hence, this is not the end yet…...

When Xiulan’s second younger brother was seventeen years old, he was an extremely intelligent, considerate, filial and good-looking son. Every night, he would prepare water for his parents to soak and wash their feet, prepare dinner and helped with house chores. He was an all rounder in all areas. Hence, though Xiulan’s family was not very well off, her parents tried to save money to send her brother for studies in Japan, hoping he could have a bright future.

Xiulan’s family finally managed to save enough money to send her brother overseas for study. All the administrative work for university enrollment had been done and the entire family was just looking forward for her brother to leave for Japan in September. As he was leaving in a month’s time, it would be his last summer holiday spent with his parents at home. Being a very sensible boy, he went to help his uncle harvests watermelons in his plantation. However, her brother never return from the plantation alive.

Do you know what happened? Xiulan’s brother was electrocuted in the watermelon plantation. When her mother heard about the dire news, she lost her mind on the spot.

From then on, Xiulan’s mother could no longer take care of herself in her daily life. She behaved like a lunatic and would run to the Guanyin temple in their village regularly to chant the mantra of Guanyin Bodhisattva to repent on her past sins.

Therefore, this is the scary truth of the law of cause and effect. I hope that as you learn and practice Buddha dharma with me, it can help accelerate and increase your energy and wisdom, so you will not be lost in the cycle of karma (cause and effect). May you grow in wisdom and health, and enjoy joy and happiness!

天理昭彰，疏而不漏。。 。

今天是農曆七月初一，是個吉祥而友善的日子。
我來說個頗令人省思的故事吧！
這是紐約一個同修的真實故事….
------------------------------------------------------------

我是住在紐約的----秀蘭(化名)，小時候因為家裡比較貧困，父母就以養豬、賣豬為業，以維持家計。有一次，一頭黑豬媽媽生了一窩豬寶寶，其中有一頭豬，長得跟其他兄弟姊妹不一樣，牠的毛色是全白的，唯有肚皮生了一圈黑黑的毛，就像是戴著一條黑腰帶，非常的特別，後來一窩豬寶寶陸續都賣掉了，就剩這一頭白豬，賣了好多次就是賣不掉，大家都傳言說:「從沒見過這樣的豬，是不吉利的象徵！」沒有人敢買。

秀蘭有兩個弟弟，她是老大，她母親當時正好又懷著三弟，正好也面臨著生產，母親生完三弟後，為了做個好月子，心裡想著吃補品，但是因為家裡窮，就想:「這隻白豬既然賣不掉，乾脆就把牠給殺了，做補品吧！」

這天，母親請了大伯來家裡幫忙殺豬、燉補，大伯就在院子裡準備殺豬，母親在房裡聽到小豬吱哇亂叫的聲音，忍不住的把剛出生的三弟(BABY)交給了秀蘭，從房裡衝出去幫忙大伯一起殺豬，秀蘭抱著三弟，聽到院子傳來被殺小豬，那淒厲的慘叫聲，嚇得躲在房間裡緊緊抱著三弟，後來，外面的聲音停止了，豬的慘叫聲沒有了，等秀蘭再回過頭來看她懷裡的弟弟，怎麼也不動了？沒氣了！！

媽媽幫忙殺豬完回來後，抱過來一看早已沒了氣息，原來這個豬被殺的當場，三弟也同時死在秀蘭這個姐姐的懷裡頭了。這是多麼令人扼腕的結果。。。

所謂禍不單行，福無雙至，這還不算完…..

秀蘭的大弟，年紀大約十七歲，特別聰明、貼心、孝順，長得也很漂亮，每天晚上都會幫父母打洗腳水、洗腳、做飯啊，家裡的活兒搶著做，各個方面都是很優秀的。所以，家裡雖然不是太富裕，父母就是想方設法積攢錢，要送這個大弟去日本留學，圖個好未來。

這一年呢，大弟的學費差不多湊夠了，學校也聯繫好了，好不容易地辦完各種繁雜手續，就等著準備九月份去日本留學。這時候，也是大弟最後一個可以留在家中，陪伴父母的暑假，因為再一個多月，他就要前往日本讀書了，大弟非常乖巧，就去大伯的西瓜地裡幫忙摘西瓜，但是，大弟走進了西瓜地就再也沒有出來了。

大家猜怎麼了？大弟莫名被電死在西瓜地裡了。
她媽媽聽到這個惡訊之後，當場就瘋了，舉凡吃飯、睡覺，生活再也不能自理，每天瘋瘋癲癲的，就知道往村裡一間觀音廟裡跑，整天就在那裡跪著念觀音聖號、懺悔。

所以，因果業報的可怕就是如此，希望大家跟著我修習佛法，禪法，能快速地開啟智慧與能量，不再迷昧於因果迷圈裡，最後祝福大家，智慧、健康、幸福、快樂！

喜歡就請分享，多傳多福！！
