【不照著家譜為孩子取名，就是不孝 !? 】
Unfilial Not to Name Your Child After the Family Tree Book?

現在社會，幾乎每個父母都會為孩子取個洋名。有的家長覺得這樣比較容易叫孩子的名，有的認為這樣才跟得上時代。

但我們畢竟是華人，刻在墓碑上的，終究是華文名。華文的源起在歷史中已隱藏著玄秘的力量，因此一個好的中文名有著巨大的力量來加持一個孩子八字的不足，不是英文名字能比得上的。

有的父母取名憑當時的感覺，有的父母有家譜的傳統。前者可能感情用事，後者就一定比較有智慧嗎？

.....................

In modern society, almost every parent will give the child a Christian name. Some parents say that it is easier to call the child with an English name, while some regard this as keeping up with the times.

But we are Chinese after all. What is engraved on our tombs will still be our Chinese names. Due to its historic mystical origins, the Chinese language is much more powerful in empowering the child with auspicious energies for the inadequacies in his/her Bazi. A name from its English counterpart just doesn't measure up.

孩子取名，不跟著家譜就是大不孝 !?

在新加坡，幾乎每個父母都會為孩子取個洋名。有的家長覺得這樣比較容易叫孩子的名，有的認為這樣才跟得上時代。

但我們必經是華人，刻在墓碑上的，終究是華文名。華文的源起在歷史中已隱藏著玄秘的力量，因此一個好的中文名有著巨大的力量來加持一個孩子八字的不足，不是英文名字能比得上的。

有的父母取名憑當時的感覺，有的父母有家譜的傳統。前者可能感情用事，後者就一定比較有智慧嗎？

It Is Unfilial Not to Name Your Child After the Family Tree Book?

In Singapore, almost every parent will give the child a Christian name. Some parents say that it is easier to call the child with an English name, while some regard this as keeping up with the times.

But we are Chinese after all. What is engraved on our tombs will still be our Chinese names. Due to its historic mystical origins, the Chinese language is much more powerful in empowering the child with auspicious energies for the inadequacies in his/her Bazi. A name from its English counterpart just doesn't measure up.

Some parents name their child based on their emotions at that time. And there are parents who are obliged to follow the Family Tree Book. While the former is sentimental/emotional, is the latter necessarily a wiser move?

********************************

(English version below)

妳你昨天已經開始唸了嗎？

吾指的，是南無本師釋迦摩尼佛傳下來的報父母恩咒。

顧名思義，這報父母恩咒能夠報答養育我們這一世的父母，但它不祇是報這一世而已，它的功德能夠讓我們七世父母獲得超生。

這報父母恩咒，玳瑚師父已唸了至少15年，直到昨天初一仍在唸。

我們的父母，我們的七世父母，我們的祖先，就會因爲這個報父母恩咒，獲得業障消除，智慧增長，而一層一層，一世一世的，一個境界一個境界的，上上上上上，到達脫出了三惡道，又或者是六道，慢慢的，慢慢的就會到達更好的境界。

報父母恩，是爲人子女，一定要的，因爲這個是一種本，我們做人本來就不應該忘本。沒有父母的精跟卵，就不能夠形成我們這個軀殼出來。沒有這個軀殼出來，我們的靈識依然漂浮不定，不能夠修行，不能夠所謂的升格，而依然在一種陰暗的境界裡面，大鬼欺小鬼等等等，受業力的果報，不能夠離苦得樂。

所以父母的恩，是給了我們這個軀殼能夠修行，是很大的恩。因此有一句話說，父母恩如大海，師恩如宇宙。

如果不能夠報父母恩的人，這個人他本來的人格就已經是失敗的。那自己有家庭後，生出來的孩子，因爲因緣的關係，也是一個不孝的孩子。大家要三思，修出智慧來，你就自然而然，能夠對以往的種種事情，豁然地能夠知道很多很多的道理。你就能夠明白，就能夠出苦得樂。

祝大家精勤的，每一年農曆七月初一到卅（或廿九），每天唸49遍的報父母恩咒，迴向給你們現世和七世父母，大家一同往生快樂的佛國淨土，永遠離苦得樂。

如果有一天因爲工作繁忙，加班或生病，那一天忘了或不能夠持，隔天可以提早起來，再補上昨天的那49遍，也就是說隔天必需得唸兩次49遍，記得不可以中斷，這樣就會功德圓滿。

Have you started your recitation yesterday?

I am referring to the Mantra of Repaying Parents' Kindness, as imparted by Shakyamuni Buddha.

As the name indicated, this mantra can repay our gratitude to our parents of this lifetime. But it does not stop at there. Its merits are great enough to bless our parents from our past 7 lives, with a rebirth to the Pureland.

Master Dai Hu has been reciting this mantra for at least 15 years, and still did it yesterday on the first day of the 7th Lunar Month.

With the merits from this mantra, our parents of this and past 7 lives, and our ancestors, can have their negative karma eradicated and gain an increase in their wisdom. One level by one level, one lifetime by one lifetime, one realm by one realm, it will upwards all the way, till they can break away from the Three Evil Realms, or the six realms of reincarnation. Gradually, they will gain rebirth in a better world.

It is the duty of all children to repay the debt of gratitude to their parents. They are the roots of our origin. As human beings, we must not forget where we came from. Without the egg and sperm from our parents, we will have no physical shell. Without this physical body, our consciousness will be drifting. We will be unable to cultivate to the next higher level, resigned to wandering in a gloomy and dark realm, where there is ghost bullying and going where karma takes us.

We will not be able to break away from suffering and attain bliss. Therefore, our parents have shown much kindness in giving us this physical body for us to cultivate. It is a great debt of gratitude. Hence, the saying: The kindness of our parents is as wide as the ocean, while the kindness of our teachers is as vast as the universe.

When a person does not repay his parents' kindness, he would have failed in upholding his status as a human. Under such conditions, when he has children, they would also be unfilial.

Please think over this wisely, everybody. You must cultivate your wisdom. By then, you would naturally understand the many truth in all that have happened to you before, and be able to attain eternal bliss, leaving the cycle of sufferings.

I wish diligence upon every one of you. Please recite this mantra 49 times daily, from Day 1 to Day 30 every 7th Lunar month. Dedicate the merits to your parents from this and past 7 lives. May they together be reborn in the Pureland of happiness, and attain eternal bliss with no suffering.

If you miss out one day of recitation, due to work, forgetfulness or illness, you can wake up earlier the next day to recite that 49 times. In other words, you would have to do 2 sets of 49 times that day. Don't stop the cycle, so that your merits for your parents will be complete.

我們都曉得，有幾部戲劇實在提倡「孝道」的，比如說《寶蓮燈》的沈香救母，劈華山救母，還有哪吒三太子的故事。這些故事都敘述了「孝道」的精神。

那為什麼要孝順父母呢？這其實根本不用問，因為如果沒有父母，怎麼會有我們？所以不能夠侍奉父母的人，她他絕對不會有感恩之心的。
沒有感恩的心就不會結出任何果實，在生活中所做的一切，無論是入世或出世，都不會得到加持力。

沒有感恩的心，會是什麼呢？猶如畜生的心。

因爲畜生是沒有心靈的。

.....................

We know that there are a few drama serials that advocate the virtue of filial piety. For example, in the drama serial "Lotus Lantern", the male lead character Chen Siang levelled the Hua Mountains to save his Mother. Of course, there is also the story of Nezha who dismembered his bones and flesh to repay his parents. These stories teach us the spirit of filial piety.

Why should we be filial to our parents? This question should not even be asked in the first place. Without our parents, how can we even exist? Thus, a person who does not serve his or her parents will definitely not have a heart of gratitude.

Without gratitude, our effort will never reap any fruit of reward, be it worldly or non-worldly aspirations, no matter in what we do in life. We will not receive any empowerment or blessings if we are unfilial.

What would a person with no heart of gratitude be?

A beast. For a beast has no conscious heart.
