明天8月8日是觀音菩薩吉祥日，早上起床刷完牙吃飯前，可以念「南無大慈大悲 觀世音菩薩」佛號，或六字大明咒「嗡 瑪尼 貝美 吽 釋」108遍回向，願聞聲救苦的觀音菩薩，與你相應相隨，祝大家離苦得樂、心想事成！

立秋節氣，已正式進入第三季了，我們更要多修福慧、廣植福田！在末法時期，佛法被過度濫用或販售法會等⋯⋯有心修行的朋友更要用智慧去判斷什麼才是正法！拜佛、學佛、供養三寶、參加法會等，不是求開運，也不是求自身利益，更不是表面功夫！而是把佛法入心、修心、修懺悔；把我們的身口意三業習氣修善斷惡，並努力斷除輪迴之苦！希望大家支持正法、分享正法，讓我們一起到幸福的彼岸❤️

農曆九月初十九，就是普天下皆知的南無觀世音菩薩的出家日。其實並非佛教徒，凡是有華人的地方都曉得這尊大菩薩，甚至連外國人都懂，因爲祂的大慈大悲真的很攝人的心，也是我們學佛之人理應仿效的一個真諦。

提到祂，不能不提到祂的心咒，而這心咒是西藏人共同提倡唸誦的「六字大明真言」。 這咒不只是這麽簡單拿來持誦而已。在和別人說完佛法的時候，妳你也可以唸上這句「嗡嘛尼唄咪吽」。 因爲這個咒是代表光明和圓滿，也就是說妳你所說的佛法，對方能得到光明的加持，圓滿智慧的灌溉，那妳你本身也圓滿了妳你的功德，所以是有很多很多的意義。這個咒，就如我所說的，是光明咒，是專門來破除黑暗的。當妳你持到最后，妳你的心自然而然就會流露出一種光明。這光明就會破除妳你累世的無明，而得到佛慧。這時候，就是一種開悟，一種明心，再修下去就見性，見性了，才是真正的得證成佛。

在這星期六的菩薩出家日，妳你持誦祂的洪名也好，心咒也好，功德是一樣的。一個等於是呼喚，另外一個等於是直接觸碰菩薩的心來搭救妳你，或來加持妳你一件事的圓滿，所以佛號和心咒應該同等地尊重，跟同等地持誦才好。

這一天修菩薩的法，功德加倍！在家中，先刷牙沐浴，然後在壇城前，或家裏的淨處，不宜在臥床上，面向南無觀世音菩薩的佛像或唐卡，恭唸「南無觀世音菩薩摩訶薩」或「嗡嘛呢唄咪吽」1080遍或108遍，時間允許的話，可以唸了洪名，再加唸心咒，然後回向給祖先往生淨土，給家人某件事情能順利解決，或給自己。但，記得，要說的清楚而且只回向給一件事項。

南無觀世音菩薩以慈悲為名，這一天修祂的法，絕對有息災的一種能力。息災為先，因爲息災了，才能夠敬愛，才能夠增益，所以息災為首。

This coming Saturday, 31st October or the Nineteenth Day of the Ninth Lunar Month, celebrates the Renunciation Day of the world-renowned Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, or more commonly known as Guan Shi Yin Pu Sa. In fact, this Bodhisattva is not just known to Buddhists only. As long as there are Chinese people in that region, they will not be stranger to this Bodhisattva. Even the non-Chinese foreigners are aware, because the Bodhisattva's great compassion and mercy are really captivating. These qualities should be modeled by all Buddhists as a way of Truth.


At the mention of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, we must not forget to mention His mantra, which is the commonly known to and propagated by the Tibetans, known as the Six Syllable Mantra. This mantra is not simply for chanting only. When you are speaking the Dharma to others, you may also recite this mantra "Om Mani Pad Mae Hum" at the end of the session , because it represents light and perfection. It signifies that when you speak the Dharma, the other party also receives the blessing of the Light and the nourishment of perfect wisdom. In this way, you would also have perfected your own merits. There are so many meanings and essence to this mantra. Like I said, this is a mantra of Light, specially to eradicate Darkness. When you achieve accomplishment in this mantra, the Light would flow naturally from your heart, and vanquish your ignorance accumulated from aeons of rebirth. When that happens, you would have received the wisdom of Buddha, and would progress to realize your own Buddha-Nature and truly Buddhahood.
