【你心中的央掘魔罗】THE AṄGULIMĀLA IN YOU
（English writing below)

在我的YOUTUBE頻道上，我每天都收到好一些留言，雖然我不曾在影片中說過：「請按讚、留言和分享！」。

有一部份的觀眾會辱罵我、取笑我或嘲諷我，但我大部份的觀眾都會鼓勵我、感謝我及問一些有深度的問題，提升自己的智慧。

老師 不好意思我想請問您 因為那些惡人 今世可以賺到不斐的財富 是因為前世他們累積了不可思議的福報導致 那麼佛教有種說法 就是我們累世輪迴 這一世就是靈魂繼承上世的修行程度

你修的好的地方（善緣福報）你修的不好的地方（惡緣惡報）都會帶來這一世讓你繼續修

最終目的就是修到大圓滿 然後成佛

可是我的問題是 那些惡人如果上世能夠累積到這麼多的福報 那麼本質上他的靈魂就一定是善的居多 怎麼這一世會偏差的這麼遠呢？ 令人費解@@ 不好意思想請教老師...

👩🏻‍🏫 我的回覆：
您好，菩薩有隔世之迷，而且人之初，性混沌，遇到善緣，人會變善，遇到惡緣，人會變惡。

但問題是，修過福報的人，不一定是守五戒的人，因為他們可能不曾修過智慧，習性特重，便不會產生這定力不去犯錯。

打個比方，成龍享有巨大的財富和名氣，和他喜歡做慈善的心性有關係，但他還是犯了淫，因為定力不足，喜色成性。後代房祖名吸毒不爭氣，成龍受千夫所指，也是邪淫果報之一。

喜做善，不代表沒有在行惡。行了惡，又沒有懺悔，就會有這般善惡交叉的命運。但惡人再惡，善緣臨時也會有放下屠刀，立地成佛的一天，如佛陀弟子央掘魔罗。

他曾經是個殺人不眨眼的連環殺手。為了要達到殺一千人的目標，他窮追著佛陀。只要殺了釋迦牟尼佛，央掘魔罗就大功告成，誤認為自己可以升天了。

可是無論他跑得多快，他就是追不上近在眼前緩慢走著的佛陀。

於是，他大聲呵斥要佛陀停下來。佛陀頭也不回地說：「央掘魔罗！我早就停下來了。沒有停下來的是你。」

朋友，你心中的央掘魔罗可也停下來了嗎？

還是你依然在種著惡因，傷害著自己呢？

I get many comments everyday on my Youtube channel, despite me never saying "Please like, comment and share" in my videos.

Some are just scolding/mocking/taunting me but most of my audience thank me, encourage me and make the effort to ask insightful questions, so as to increase their wisdom.

💁🏻‍♂️ Mr Patrick commented:
Excuse me, Teacher, I would like to ask you. Those evil people can earn huge money this life, due to the incredible good fortune they amassed in their past lives. In Buddhism, it is said that our souls in this life inherit our cultivation from our past reincarnations.

The areas that you have cultivated well (positive affinities + good fortune) and the areas that you have not (negative affinities + negative karma) will follow you to this lifetime for you to continue your cultivation.

The eventual goal is reach the Great Perfection and then attain Buddhahood.

So my question is, if those evil people can accumulate so much good fortune, then intrinsically his soul should have more good in it.

Why do they end up deviating so far? This is perplexing. @@ And I would like to seek Teacher's advice.

👩🏻‍🏫 My reply:
When a Bodhisattva is reincarnated, He becomes ignorant of His past life.

Also, Man's nature at birth is muddled. When virtuous affinities arise, Man can become virtuous. When malevolent affinities arise, Man can become evil.

The thing is a person who have cultivated good fortune may not be a person who abide by the Five Precepts. He may not have cultivated his wisdom and retains many undesirable habits, so he lacks the meditative strength to restrain himself from doing wrong.

For example, Jackie Chan enjoys great wealth and fame, which is correlated to his love for philanthropy. However, he still committed sexual misdeeds, due to his inability to control his sexual urges and habitual lust. His only son, Jaycee Chan, unfortunately turns to be a drug addict for 8 years, a huge disappointment to many, and Jackie Chan got universally condemned again. Such is one retribution of sexual misconduct.

A person who likes doing good is not a virtuous man, if he also commits evil. When there is no repentance after evil is done, we will end up with a destiny that crosslinks good and evil.

However, no matter how evil a person is, when his virtuous conditions arise, there will still be a day when the butcher will lay down his knife and become a Buddha.

Just like Aṅgulimāla, who later became Buddha's disciple.

He was a serial killer, who wore the fingers of his 999 victims on a necklace. He was chasing Buddha to murder him, so that he can reach his goal of killing 1000 people. He wrongfully thought that would ascend him to Heaven.

Yet no matter how fast he ran, he could not catch up with Buddha, who seemingly was just walking slowly not that far away from him.

He yelled at Buddha to stop, and Buddha said, without turning his head:

"Angulimala! I have already stopped. It is you who have not stopped.”

My dear friend, have the Angulimala in you stopped?

Or are you relentlessly planting seeds of evil only to inflict misery onto yourself?

成年人的成就，大多都認爲在事業。小孩的優越，大多則認爲在學業。望子成龍，望女成鳳，是天下爲人父母者，共同的企盼。若妳你家中尚有，還未成氣侯的，大人與小孩，那一定是妳你的居家裡，沒有設文昌位。玳瑚師父，文昌位不是給小孩的嗎？學藝要在精啊！這顆大吉星，是叫文昌貴人星。凡是人，都需要貴人的扶持呀！大人在外謀生，沒貴人照料，恐怕一生難以可春可秋，且小人易得逞。小孩在校裡，遭霸凌難遇人助。學習能力差，也難遇同學，及教師們的关照啊!

吾，玳瑚師父，在勘察陽宅風水時，都會鼓勵人們，設個文昌位。蓋文昌位設得對，設得好，池中之龍将得以飛上青天，大興事業。乌鴉飛上枝頭，變鳳凰。文昌貴人星都可在八字，居家，飲食，穿戴中尋得。而單單在居家中，就有三種文昌位。正所謂，文昌貴人到昌明。

沒有文昌貴人星的加持，妳的阿老與妳，事業難昌盛。妳你家中的小朋友，就算妳你請全國最好的，補習老師給她他，成绩依舊起落不定，未能名列前茅。現在大家應該對，文昌貴人星有更深一層的理解了。理解了就去行動吧!生活中的苦惱，才能徹底解除啊!不好意思，上方所提的阿老，是福建話的老公。哈.......。

The accomplishments of adults are mainly regarded as the career achievements. For children, their achievements would be seen as those from their studies. Every parent wishes for their sons to become dragons, and the daughters phoenixes. If you have an adult or child at home who has yet achieved anything, it must be because you have no Wen Chang area at home.

But Master Dai Hu, isn't Wen Chang area meant for only children?

If you think so, then you need to improve your knowledge. This great auspicious Star is known as the Wen Chang Benefactor Star. Everybody needs the help of benefactors! For an adult making a living in the world, without the care from benefactors, his life would hardly go smoothly, and people will be abound to make things difficult for him. When children get bullied in school, they will not be able to receive help from benefactors. If their learning abilities are subpar, it is hard for them to meet students and teachers who will assist them!

When I, Master Dai Hu, conduct a Feng Shui audit, I will always encourage people to set up a Wen Chang area. When this is done right and well, the Dragon in the pond can ascend to the Heavens, and new career heights will be reached. The crow will fly to the top of the tree and become a phoenix. Wen Chang Benefactor Star can be found in the Bazi, residence, diet, outfits and accessories. Just in the home alone, there are 3 types of Wen Chang areas. Hence the saying, when the Wen Chang Benefactor arrives, prosperity and a bright future awaits.

Without the blessings from the Wen Chang Benefactor, it will be very difficult for you and your husband to prosper in your careers. Even if you get the best tutor in the nation for your children, their results will still fluctuate and they will rank at the top of their class. Now, everyone should have a deeper understanding of the Wen Chang Benefactor Star. So act now! Only then can you thoroughly eradicate your sufferings and troubles n your life!

兒時的某個時刻，吾突然的意思到，心跳與呼吸的存在做用。因此，吾就憋住呼吸，同時也觀察，心跳若不跳時，會是什麼樣的狀況。結論是，非常難受。

若干年後，皈依學佛，也學道，赫然發現，原來佛，道都非常非常重視，人體的内在修練，由其是我們的呼與吸。當吾，玳瑚師父，实屬萬幸的得到了，此技法與智慧後，大大讚歎傳承偉大，佛、道的超然慈悲智慧外，也生起對一切眾生的憐憫之心，因而时不時的勸請眾生，一定要好好的研習「氣」。因爲，我們的生及死、成與敗、旺與衰、強與弱、健或病，甚至於百年之後，成佛或成魔，都跟氣脱不了关係。氣多肉少則昇天。肉多氣少則下墜。

吾，玳瑚師父，憐憫眾生迷執而不悟，一世一世的在摧殘，自己的身心發展，無法享有眞正永恆的，快樂與幸福。腦無氣則低能。眼無氣則不明。耳無氣則不聞。鼻無氣則流水不易停。口無氣則聲音不雅也不亮。心無氣則不穩。肺無氣則財力不足。脾無氣則美肤不成。胃無氣則身弱。肝無氣則寡歡。腎無氣則命弱。氣，实重要之极。

眞心誠意欲释放自己的，緣份俱足的話，吾不吝於教授妳你，這大樂解脱的密技。

There was once during my growing up years that I had a sudden thought about the purpose of our heartbeat's and our breath's existence. Thus I held my breath, and observed what it would be like if my heart stopped beating too. My conclusion: it was a terrible feeling.

Many years later, after taking refuge in the Three Jewels and learning the Dharma and Tao, to my astonishment, I discovered that these schools of thoughts place an especially huge importance on the inner cultivation of our body, especially our breathing in and out. When I, Master Dai Hu, have the immense good fortune to attain these methods and wisdom, I am in tremendous praise of the greatness of my spiritual lineage, and the amazing compassion and wisdom imbued in the Dharma and Tao. At the same time, compassion for all the sentient beings arise in my heart. Therefore, from time to time, I urge sentient beings to seriously delve into the knowledge and practice of the Qi energy. Because it is intricately linked to our life and death, success and failure, prosperity and decline, strength and weakness, health or sickness. Even the matter of achieving Buddhahood (or demon-hood) hundred years later is related to our Qi. When the Qi is more than your mortal flesh, you will ascend to the Heavens. When the Qi is lesser than your mortal flesh, you will fall to the lower realms.

I, Master Dai Hu, empathise the sentient beings for they are ignorant and unaware that lifetimes after lifetimes, their body and mind development have been destroyed, hence they are unable to truly enjoy eternal bliss and happiness. Without Qi energy in the brain, we will have low intelligence. Without Qi energy in our eyes, we will suffer from poor sight. Without Qi energy in our ears, we will have trouble hearing. Without Qi energy in our nose, our nose will be constantly runny. Without Qi energy in our mouth, our voice will be unpleasant and soft. Without Qi energy in our heart, it will not have stable beats. Without Qi energy in our lungs, we will not have sufficient wealth. Without Qi energy in our spleen, we are unable to have radiant skin. Without Qi energy in our stomach, our disposition will be weak. Without Qi energy in our liver, we will suffer from depression. Without Qi energy in our kidney, we will have poor fortunes in life. The Qi energy is of paramount importance.

Choose with all sincerity to free yourself. When the conditons ripen, I will generously teach you the hidden technique to great bliss and liberty.
