【當吉祥物變凶物】(English writing below)
WHEN AUSPICIOUS ORNAMENTS TURNED INAUSPICIOUS

我最近看到幾位臉書的朋友，每天都在分享一些賣風水吉祥物的直播。直播主播往往都是長髮披肩的年輕貌美女子。這些直播幾乎每天開播，一開播就是數小時。

熱情漂亮的主播，亮麗的背景，近距離打燈讓觀眾各角度看精緻的風水吉祥物，主播清脆的聲音宣說著吉祥物的利處 — 這是很吸睛的宣傳手法。

在這裡，想說件真人真事。

我有位看八字的客人，年頭時看了我這Youtube影片而認識了我：https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ。

（我頻道裡第二流量最高的影片 #大力推薦）

她私訊我如何為流產的孩子報名超度。我引導她去報名我根本上師，蓮生活佛，每星期日的護摩法會。

同時，我提醒了她：「居家內勿擺放太多水晶或風水吉祥物。這些都會影響母親受孕及懷胎。東西擺錯方位，也會導致孩子夭折。」

有些東西可以催財，卻也會損丁、危害健康等，需要配合夫妻的八字，居家風水的方位，流年的九星風水飛動等來確定是否擺對。

這客人家裡有十多隻金蟾和貔貅等「吉祥物」。聽了我的話，把好一些都打進「冷宮」。

人人都想出少少力，賺多多又快進來的錢，所以風水吉祥物總能很輕易地勾起很多人的貪欲，讓人蜂擁而至，但你要分享這類的直播時，請三思。

美女主播不是風水師。她們沒有花十多年的時間去研究八字命理和風水學。她們的工作，是賣越多，便能賺越多。

如果你本身不夠福份，你這裡錢進來，那裡就從你的生命扣掉別的東西，可能是身體健康、婚姻、事業、學業、孩子或精神健康。

因為你的命扛不起，所以不要貪心，先把家裡的基本風水搞好，有時就已能解決很多問題了。

另外，對一些喜歡分享售賣活海鮮直播的朋友，溫馨提醒，它們雖然是畜生，但都是珍貴的生命。以前做人做不好，才會被貶入畜生道，供人宰殺。可是我們人這樣做，不是沒有造業的。

鼓勵殺生不是人應該做的，也沒有人願意投胎做海鮮，被人如此販賣宰殺，因此， 還是最好不要分享此類直播。

我看到這類的直播時，我會多唸往生咒迴向給這些動物。你也可以這麼做，長養菩提心，廣結善緣，為自己為後代多積善功德。

往生短咒 （7、21、49、108遍，越多越好）：
往生淨土
超生出苦

Recently, I have been seeing some Facebook friends sharing FB Live broadcast of companies peddling auspicious Feng Shui ornaments. The broadcasters are mainly young pretty ladies with flowing long locks. These live broadcasts are streamed almost everyday, and usually last for a few hours.

These live streams have a few characteristics - friendly and pretty broadcasters with a clear and melodious voice that introduces the benefits of the ornaments, a vibrant background, focused lighting that showcases the exquisite auspicious ornaments from all angles.

These marketing tactics sure draw a lot of eyeballs easily.

Here let me tell you a real-life story of my client:

This Bazi client got to know me, by watching this Youtube video of mine at the beginning of this year: https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ
(2nd most watched video on my channel #highlyrecommend)

She PM me for information on how to register for bardo deliverance for her baby lost through miscarriage. I guided her to register for my Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng's weekly homa ceremonies.

At the same time, I reminded her, "Gentle reminder, do not place too many crystals or Feng Shui auspicious ornaments at home. All these will affect the mother's chances of conceiving and pregnancy. When the ornament is placed at the wrong sector, it can also cause the baby to die prematurely.

While some ornaments can accelerate wealth, they can also harm the descendants or personal health etc. These objects need to be placed in the right sector, based on the Bazi of the couple, Feng Shui of the home, the movement of the 9 Flying Stars etc. Not anyhow hentam.

This client has maybe about 15 Golden Toads and Pixius etc placed at home. After hearing my words, she banished a large number of them to the cold palace.

Many people have this hope of doing less and yet making more and fast money, so such Feng Shui auspicious ornaments can often easily invoke the greed in people who flock to them, despite saying that they do not believe in Feng Shui.

However, if you wish to share such FB Live streams, please think twice.

The pretty broadcasters are not trained and experienced Feng Shui masters. They did not spend over a decade to study Bazi, destiny and Feng Shui. Their work is to sell more and earn more.

If you do not have sufficient good fortune, when money comes pouring into your pocket, another aspect will be deducted from your life, be it physical health, marriage, career, studies, children or mental/emotional health.

Because your Destiny isn't strong enough to fit all in. So please do not be greedy. Get the foundational Feng Shui of your home in order first, and you will realise that hey, sometimes many of your life problems can already be resolved.

Another gentle reminder to FB friends who have taken a fancy to sharing FB live streams selling live seafood.

These may merely be animals, but they are also precious lives. They committed many sins when they were humans and hence, got degraded to the realm of animals, having to suffer the destiny of being slaughtered for human food.

However, this does not mean what we do as humans is sin-free.

We should never encourage others to kill. Nobody wishes to be reincarnated as a prawn, sotong, lala or fish to be sold and murdered against one's will. Hence, my advice is it is best not to share such live broadcasts.

When I see such livestreams on my newsfeed, I will recite the Deliverance Mantra and dedicate the recitations to these animals. You can do the same too. Cultivate your bodhicitta and form more virtuous affinities. These will go a long way to help yourself and your descendants to accumulate virtuous merits.

Short Deliverance Mantra
(7, 21, 49, 108 times, or the more the merrier):

《靈命的認知》(English version below)
Understanding the Spiritual Existence

上課時，學生請示吾，對新加坡北極熊伊努卡被動物園實施安樂死的看法。

吾先問學生們：「如果妳你病重，妳你會要安樂死嗎？」

大家的說法不一，有的怕連累家人，有的覺得可以減少痛苦，但又顧慮到，在因果上，這是否是自殺？

佛法講求的是自然。

硬硬把北極熊關在新加坡這樣的熱帶國家，這謀取利益的做法，就已經違反了自然界的定律。

一、北極熊伊努卡雖然辛苦，但，妳你怎麼知道它要安樂死呢？

既然無法給它自己選，沒有人應該主宰它生命的始終，就如妳你也不該由別人決定妳你的生死。

二、生命誠可貴，這仍然是殺生。

妳你殺它，它產生了怨氣，這怨氣傳出來，會影響到這氤氳空間，是一種毒氣，也當然會影響到其他的眾生。

同樣的道理，所以吾堅決反對墮胎。

三、如果北極熊伊努卡患的是傳染病，危害了其他的生命，可能就必須得將它安樂死，以拯救其他眾生。類似情況如瘋牛症、禽流感等等。

佛法教導我們，仍然必須爲它做懺悔、唸往生咒，超度它，解冤之外，也是讓它往投更好的境界。

因爲不自然的死亡並不代表一切都結束了，而可能是一場冤冤相報、因果糾葛的開始。

對待妳你家重病的寵物也是一樣。它們會在妳你家出現，必有其因緣果報。能夠做到的，是盡量讓它們生活上得到完善的照顧，自然地離世。

平日可以多播佛曲，把佛音印在它們識田裡面。這對於它們未來的轉世有一定的幫助。

吾弟子說，她若重病，不會選擇安樂死，因爲她明白這是她的病業，也是她家人的共業，既然無法來得及消，就必須在這一世了。如果沒有了，這病業很可能還會帶去下一世，繼續折磨她。

她認為，再大的病苦也會過去，祇要在臨終時，還能夠念佛持咒，就還有解脫的希望。

她這番話的重點，就是提到在最後的那一刻，能夠保持清醒是非常重要的。

人在斷氣前，會有一股強大的力量使勁地把妳你往下扯。一個密教行者如果意識不清醒，就意念不到自己的根本上師、本尊或護法，祈求祂們來接引。

菩薩畏因，眾生畏果。眾生依然是眾生，因爲她他們昏昏沉沉，不相信因果報應。今天吾將這靈命的認知公佈於此，期盼眾生的病苦及殺業都能及時消除，更盼眾生不再重蹈覆轍。

可唸此往生短咒7、21、49或108遍，迴向給伊努卡：

往生淨土，
超生出苦，
南無阿彌陀佛，
南無阿彌陀佛，
南無阿彌陀佛。

⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯

During lesson, my student asked for my opinion on the humane putting down of Inuka, the polar bear in Singapore Zoo.

Before answering her, I asked my students, "Imagine if you are severely ill, would you want to be euthanized?"

Their opinions were divided. Some of them didn't want to be a burden to their families, some felt that such a death can lessen their sufferings. But many were concerned if such a death would be considered a suicide in the eyes of karma.

The Dharma teaches us to follow the course of Nature.

To cage a polar bear in a tropical country like Singapore for selfish gains is already against the Law of Nature.

1. Even though Inuka is suffering from illness, how do we know if he prefers to be put down?

Since Inuka is not able to make a choice, no one else should decide when his life should end, just like you would not want others to decide your life and death.

2. All lives are precious, and any form of killing is still killing.

When you take away the life of a living being, it will bear resentment. This toxic energy of bitterness will proliferate into the environment and affect other sentient beings as well.

In a similar vein, this is the same reason why I absolutely oppose abortion.

3. If Inuka is suffering from a contagious disease, endangering the life of others, then it might be justified to put it down in a humane way so that other lives will be saved. It is similar to cases of mad cow disease and the bird flu.

The Dharma teaches that we still must perform repentance on the animal's behalf, recite the Deliverance to Pure Land Mantra for its passage to the Pure Land, as well as to resolve its karmic grievances. These practices can transcend its soul to a higher level.

An unnatural death does not mean that all will truly end. It could be the beginning of another endless karmic entanglement, returning an eye for an eye.

You must hold the same attitude towards your own pets at home. Their karmic affinity with you in this lifetime is of no coincidence. Do your best to take good care of them and allow nature to end its course.

You can play some Dharma music to them daily, so as to plant a seed in their consciousness. This will help them greatly in their future rebirths.

My disciple said she would not choose euthanasia as the way to die if she were to be seriously ill, because she understood that the sickness suffering is due to her negative karma ripening. She would rather go through it this lifetime, than to prolong this suffering to her next life.

She felt that no matter the depth of suffering from the illness, there would be hope of salvation if she could still consciously recite the mantras and the holy names of Buddhas.

Her words highlighted an important point, which is the ability to remain conscious at your last few moments in this lifetime.

When one is about to breath his last, there will be a great force attempting to pull you down. Without a clear mind and consciousness, a tantric spiritual practitioner will not be able to visualise his Root Guru, Root Deity and Root Protector, and invoke Their Deliverance.

The Bodhisattvas fear the Cause, the sentient beings fear the Effect. Sentient beings are who they are because of their ignorance and disbelief in the Law of Cause and Effect.

I am sharing this understanding of the spiritual existence today, in hope that all sentient beings can eradicate all their sufferings from sickness and killing in due time, and most importantly, never to commit the same sins again.

We can do 7, 21, 49 or 108 recitations of the Short Mantra for Deliverance to Pureland for Inuka:

往生淨土，
超生出苦，
南無阿彌陀佛，
南無阿彌陀佛，
南無阿彌陀佛。

命運必懂數50
經咒文何時唸最好?有甚麼區分嗎?唸經咒文要注意甚麼事?
求財求平安的經咒文又有哪些?唸錯了方法又會發生……請老師協助回答。

經咒文有分兩種，1.是具有超度性質的經咒
，如果在家裏唸，絕大部份都會招來陰魂，比如說： 往生咒、救苦誥、大悲咒、地藏經、阿彌陀經...，寶懺類.....

2.是祈福性質的經咒就可以在家中唸：(楞嚴經咒、陀羅尼經咒、白衣神咒、六字大明咒、金光神咒、普門品、藥師經咒、金剛經、媽祖經，財寶天王心咒…)。唸一切神明聖號都不會招陰，因為聖號為聖潔，陰穢不敢靠近。換言之，雖一切地藏經咒都會招陰，但地藏王菩薩聖號便不會。)
唸一切經咒佛號，皆不外乎可消業障與調氣排濁。

在家唸，務必要聲明迥向神明，唸前就要事先聲明，唸完後再作事後迥向神明，也可寫大字在紙上：[本次唸經功德迥向OO神明]，放在桌上，鬼神一目了然，若能在唸經前後照讀一次，當然更好。
至於請[代為迥向給冤親債主]這話可不必說 ,神明原本就會做主分配。

財運不順時

1.內行人都懂得去善用這個土地公咒語 「安土地真言」──「南摩三滿哆，母度南、嗡度魯度魯、地尾梭哈。」
先將兩手掌打開內握,有些像恭喜發財手勢,但有些差異是五指手內都為內握,把手觀想成金元寶(此為密法)。
一面旋轉手勢一面念土地真言七遍。
在旋轉手勢同時，觀想自己變化成土地公，召請四面八方客戶，財源滾滾而來。

平常多持念土地公咒語,你的土地公法力會越來越強,當你一閉上眼睛一持咒,土地公馬上能出現時,你就能跟他成為好朋友,心想事成的法力,就能讓你自己持有了(這是很強的偏財咒，尤其作業務的人)

2.財寶天王心咒是有財無庫或是自己做生意的人或是上班族，每個月農曆1日、11日、21日必唸的正財咒。【財寶天王心咒】(嗡 貝 夏哇 那也 梭哈)108遍。

其功德：能增長富德、壽命、智慧、物質及精神上之受用，誠心誦持財寶天王心咒，可獲得其庇護，能財源廣進，免除貧窮和一切經濟窘困。如果能發無上菩提心，發願救度一切眾生於貧困，則福德更不可限量。又稱之事業咒或財庫咒。

3.心想事成心咒《准提神咒》是佛教的重要咒語，禪門、淨土宗都有許多人持誦，求菩薩讓你心想事成，成功改變命運。
(南無。颯多喃。三藐三菩陀。俱胝喃。怛姪他。唵。折隸。主隸。準提。娑婆訶。)每天21遍。
無論唸甚麼心咒，心誠則靈。發慈悲心，誠心持咒能福佑圓滿。

這些年來有遇到一些因為念經方法不對，使得家裡雞犬不寧、諸事不順，甚至走火入魔、精神異常…等等的事情發生，其實，大家念經的初發心其實都是很好的，誰也不會想到會有這樣的後果，為了避免這樣的遺憾再度發生，老師有必要將一些念經方面該注意事項告訴大家。
要了解，念經念佛都是有設結界的，一般人只懂得念經念佛，不懂得自我保護，所以心誠則靈也是要有智慧的…，一定要經由專業老師指導，才能所求如願，平安順利。

念經注意事項如下：
一、
有的人是回向給自已債主、有的人回向給親人、也有的人是回向給十方眾生，每種的立意都很好，但不管回向給誰，都要請菩薩(神明)做主才行，如果沒有菩薩(神明)做主來分配，就會有人多拿、有人少拿、甚至有人拿不到的情形發生，更嚴重者還會有不相干的十方眾生來搶，結果該拿的一點也拿不到，不該拿的拿一堆。
所以如果家裡有供奉菩薩(神明)，就可以請家裡菩薩(神明)做主護持，如果家裡沒有供奉菩薩(神明)的人就千萬不要在家裡念經，以免招來無明。到時整屋子都是鬼，每天就等著搶拿念經的功德，自已拿還不夠還呼朋引伴，附近的孤魂野鬼全跑來了，最後搞得家裡烏煙瘴氣。運程好時還可以，運程低落時就要倒大楣了。

二、
如果家裡有供奉菩薩(神明)，就可以在家裡念經，不過在經書的挑選上要小心，畢竟家裡的菩薩(神明)是家神以保平安為主，不是請來辦法事的，所以大悲咒、往生咒、地藏經、三昧水懺等這些渡亡靈的經(咒)書盡量不要在家裡念，否則召感太多亡靈來，家裡的菩薩(神明)可不是都有辦法送走的。
所以在家裡念經，我們可以挑選心經、金剛經、普門品等這些來念，就比較不會有以上的問題了。

三、
在家裡最好不要做大回向(回向給十方眾生)，只要做小回向(回向給自已)即可，大回向會召感無數十方偏虛空法界的眾生來，一般家裡的菩薩(神明)是沒有辦法做主的，若強行請家裡菩薩(神明)做主做大回向，會有不可預期的後遺症，請各位務必三思後而後行，不要說我沒有提醒，等出事後再來處理就很麻煩。如果一定非做大回向請至大寺廟處理

四、
那家裡如何做小回向，首先請家裡菩薩(神明)做主，說明要誦念的經書及回向方式(小回向)我們做小回向時只需念誦到三皈依的…就停下來，接下來請家裡菩薩(神明)做主謢持，方式如下：弟子○○方才誦念普門品一部，恭請菩薩(神明)做主，功德回向給○○○(自已的名字)，祈求功德圓滿、福德具足。這樣就圓滿了。

五、
如果有冤親債主的問題，最好到有辦事的道場處理，不要自已在家裡念經處理，以為自已念經給債主就會化解了，因為那個還要經過陰陽談判，不是單純念經可以處理的，你要念經給他，他會照收，運氣好遇到善意債主，可能就會離開，但不是每一個債主都是講道理的，這是因為沒有和解的關係，所以很多人自行念經回向給冤親債主，召感他們前來，然後又沒有經過陰陽談判，這些債主就會停留在身邊，等到運程低落時就會出事了。

六、
如果家裡沒有供奉菩薩(神明)，又想要念經的朋友，老師建議可以念佛號(阿彌陀佛、觀世音菩薩…)、六字真言、綠度母咒、準提神咒，財寶天王心咒等就好，無需再做回向，至於要念多少、何時念、念多久，就按照各人的需求，不要一下子給自已太大的壓力，念經持咒是循序漸進的。(如已有干擾應立即停止)
有些人一開始就發大願，規定自已每天一定要做多少的功課，要念多少遍，剛開始確實有遵守，可是時間久了，能持續的又有幾個，每個人都有一大堆冠冕堂皇的理由，與其如此，不如就隨心所念，想念就念，隨時可念，隨時可停，不自在多了，做不到破了戒才又來懊悔，那又何必當初呢？

ps:如果已經有嚴重干擾到居家安寧了，應立即停止，任何經咒都不行念!
我們請菩薩做主護持有設結界的功用，這樣念經才安全。

命運在自己手裡，不是在別人嘴裡，積德雖無人見，行善自有天知，在艱苦的時刻，依然能為別人設想的人，神佛必不會虧待他，一定會讓他家運 昌隆，平安如意，所求如願。

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.
