📰 培福奉獻接續善緣 農禪寺舉辦清明報恩佛七

知恩報恩迎清明，法鼓山北投農禪寺先於3/27進行灑淨、起七安位等儀式後，3/28起至4/3舉辦為期一週的「清明報恩佛七」，在清淨莊嚴的佛號聲中，由僧團法師帶領4百多位民眾念佛，用三寶的加持與共修的力量，為祖輩先亡超度迴向、為親友祈求健康；壇場內外均有上百位義工協助護持，以奉獻利他實踐報恩心願。

農禪寺監院果毅法師表示，清明時節替父母祈福、向祖先表達感恩是華人的傳統，因此漢傳佛教往往透過念佛來報恩、淨化身口意，祈願先亡眷屬得到善法、往生淨土。想運用佛教的觀念跟方法，來改變身口意三業行為，同時廣結善緣、修福修慧，做義工即是最好的方法，既可以調伏自己的心性，也能積聚成佛的資糧。

「從來沒有忘記爸爸奉獻的身影。」協助齋堂任務的義工于孟平說，父親生前就在法鼓山當義工近20年，自己也跟著他親近道場，所以在父親往生後，她就接續做義工，視為報答親恩最好的方式，至今已經奉獻11年。今年佛七期間，她也擔任撿、洗菜組長，繼續發心服務。

「我現在比較能放下自我中心，懂得為他人著想。」接引全家皈依三寶的沈彩鳳，學佛將近30年，今天先生也陪她一起來當義工；她說，剛開始自己的孩子不懂義工的意義，他們也是親身當了義工，才理解奉獻的歡喜。她祈願將善事功德，迴向給法界，祝願一切眾生都能離苦得樂。

農禪寺表示，即日起至4/3，每日均可開放250位民眾全日隨喜念佛，歡迎民眾把握機會參加。在此期間，為維護精進修行氛圍，全寺不對外開放並暫停參訪。而無法親自前來的民眾，亦可透過網路填寫「雲端牌位」，為先人報恩超薦，為社會、親友及自身祈福消災。

在清明期間，法鼓山臺中寶雲寺、臺東信行寺、羅東蘭陽分院、臺北安和分院與中山精舍、三峽天南寺、桃園齋明寺與齋明別苑、臺南分院與雲集寺、高雄紫雲寺等等，也都將舉行「梁皇寶懺法會」、「地藏法會」或「慈悲三昧水懺法會」，歡迎民眾就近參與共修。清明報恩法會相關新訊( https://chingming.ddm.org.tw/ )。

【補回失蹤的手指】
Getting Back The Missing Finger

這位男客人在去年九月初來找我批八字。

當時他問的是個人事業的發展。

後來他提到妻子懷孕了六個月，多次超聲波掃描，卻看不到胎兒的手有完整的五根手指。

醫生告訴他們，要有心理準備，這嬰兒出世後，手可能只有四根手指。

我聽了驚駭，問了他太太的生日，便向他解說為何他們八字的結合會導致這個問題。我也提到一些方法，希望他去做。

諮詢結束後，我一直在想著這問題。看看他們夫婦倆的八字，這孩子還有三個月才出世，還有時間扭轉乾坤。

在我跟師父出差的那十多年裡，我依稀記得師父曾經以風水解決類似的問題。

某晚，我打了電話給師父，請教他。師父慈悲再一次教我他用的方法，並提醒我客人的太太不能吃的食物。

人要改命，要懂得集合天時地利人和的力量，效果才會更快更顯著。

幾天後，我寫了電郵給男客人，交代了三件事，來幫助胎兒：

一、天時：
依客人妻子的八字，我列出哪些食物是她在這三個月必須避開的。

二、地利：
在他們家中的某個方位，擇良辰吉日貼上一張男嬰的海報。這男嬰的海報必須有的特徵及那個方位要注意的地方，我都清楚交代他。

這一段話，我打上粗體字 「盡快完成」。

三、人和：
從現在到孩子出生前，夫妻倆每天各唸至少108遍「南無地藏王菩薩」，迴向：祈願迴向給我的兒子身心健康，一切健全。

在我的經驗當中，有些客人比較講心情來過自己的人生，因此靠天時改命，自律和恆持力比較差的，無法得到理想成績。

靠人和，時勤時懶，又或者猜疑心重、猶豫不決的客人，也無法見效。

唯有地利，只要客人願意做一次的改變，不去更動那風水，這力量就能出來了。

今年一月七日，男客人寫了封簡短的電郵感謝我和師父，也說孩子剛出世一切OK。

他的感謝電郵和見他本尊時一樣 - 一樣木訥。😄

就因為客人表達能力不強，一封電郵多聲謝謝更顯得驚奇。我問他是做了哪些事，他說三件事都照辦了。我告訴他這事得他自己撥電感謝師父，因為這不全是我的功勞，也是 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu 的慈悲救渡。

看一個八字，能生出健全的孩子，太值得了！賀！🎉

This male client had a Bazi consultation with me in last September in 2020.

At that time, he was asking about his career development.

Later on, he mentioned that his wife was already 6 months pregnant. However, despite several ultrasounds, they couldn’t see complete five fingers on the baby’s hand.

The doctor told them to be mentally prepared that their baby when born may have only four fingers on his hand.

I was shocked when I heard it. I asked for his wife’s birthday and explained why the combination of their Bazi would cause such an issue. I gave him some solutions and hoped that he would heed my words.

After the consultation ended, I kept thinking of this issue. I examined the couple’s Bazi back home. 3 more months before the baby is due, there is still time to turn the tide around.

In the 12 years I learnt under Shifu, I vaguely remembered he once resolved a similar problem with Feng Shui.

I gave Shifu a call one night and sought his teaching. Shifu compassionately taught me again what he did for his client, and reminded me the foods that the wife must avoid.

When you wish to transform your destiny, you must know how to gather the trinity powers of the Heaven, Earth and Human, and the result will be faster and more obvious.

A few days later, I wrote an email to the male client and gave him three things to do to help his baby:

1. Heavenly Time
Based on the client’s wife Bazi, I listed which foods his wife must avoid in the remaining three months.

2. Land Advantage
In a particular sector of their home, choose an auspicious date & time to put up a poster of a baby boy. I laid down clearly the characteristics of baby in the poster and the conditions of the sector.

I wrote in bold “Get this done AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.”

3. Human Harmony
From now till the child’s birth, the client and his wife should each recite 108 times daily “南無地藏王菩薩” and dedicate the merits to their son: May my son be born healthy physically and emotionally, and able-bodied.

In my experience, some clients are more temperamental when it comes to living their lives. Thus to rely on their Heavenly Time to change their destiny, it is hard to achieve desirable results with poor self-discipline and perseverance.

To rely on Human Harmony, if the client is lazy at times and diligent at others, or easily doubtful and hesitant, whatever effort also come to a naught.

But the only factor that can work in such times will be Land Advantage. As long as the client is willing to make a change once, and does not alter the Feng Shui after that, the power to transform his destiny will arise.

On Jan 7, 2021, the male client wrote a short email to thank Shifu and I, and said that things looked okay with his newborn.

His thank-you email was just like his persona in real-life - woody and reserved. 😄

Yet because the client was not expressive, it is even more surprising to get an email with many thank-you. I asked which of the 3 recommendations he took up, and he replied he did all 3. I told him to give Shifu a call to thank him personally. Firstly, out of sincerity. Secondly, this wasn’t all due to my effort.

If getting a Bazi read can result into a healthy baby born, what a great value! 😄 This deserves a celebration! 🎉

今天提早幫地藏菩薩慶生！

明天是地藏菩薩聖誕，但整天我都有儀式與代燒和誦經的滿滿行程。

所以就今天先慶祝菩薩聖誕～♡

買了一個很漂亮的蛋糕給菩薩，今天一邊唱誦地藏菩薩聖號一邊跟包子一起準備慶生儀式時，內心就一股好開心的感覺從胸口傳到眉心，瞬間就大哭了。

我本來是無法正常被生出來的孩子，不是母子只能留一個，或是兩個都會掰掰，但突然有個不認識的阿婆，來到醫院建議我媽媽念誦地藏菩薩聖號，和發願念地藏菩薩本願經999遍，隨後媽媽發願終生吃素，也念聖號與經文，沒多久，我就健康誕生了，媽媽也平安無事。

我媽也完成約定，至今依然吃素，我們家也在那時候吃素到現在，也開始接觸佛教慢慢學習到現在。

地藏菩薩就像我另一個親人一樣，所以感受特別深刻，包子今天在上香時似乎也感受到，整個爆哭。

這兩天如果你願意，可以嘗試念誦以下：

地藏菩薩滅定業真言︰
嗡 缽囉末鄰陀寧 娑婆訶

地藏菩薩心咒：
嗡 哈哈哈 溫珊摩渧 梭哈

地藏菩薩聖號：
南無地藏菩薩摩訶薩

《陀羅尼雜集》記載：

又別禮阿利蛇廁提竭浮菩薩(地藏菩薩)。隨在何方建心念之。隨欲求何願。無有空行行必有獲。若人於一劫稱餘菩薩名字。不如一時稱此菩薩名字供養。滅除一切罪過得一切所願。

明天日子又特別好，我一樣會幫大家代燒大百解與助印和做儀式，也會幫川普再燒一套，後天十七日則是藏曆三十，有九億倍的加乘效果，我會在做上供與下施，幫所有參加儀式大百解的朋友們做迴向，可能名字全部就要念快一小時以上才能念完。

還想一起上車的朋友，下面可以自由報名唷。
