【萬善之頭】The Origin of Virtuousness

今天是農曆七月初五，也是我唸報父母恩咒的第五天。

這咒我唸了十五的農曆七月了。

讀到許多觀眾留言，說因為我的直播，他們也在今年開始持這咒，我真的真的⋯⋯為你們的父母感到欣慰。😄

在華人的社會裡，一般來說，正正當當的賺錢孝敬父母、和顏悅色、奉公守法、傳宗接代，不做丟人現眼的事是基本的孝。

但這些在佛教裡，實屬小孝。

以這定義，我絕對是不孝女，因為有很多年我做生意負債時，一分錢都給不到父母，又不敢對他們坦白，只說沒錢。

好啦，如果您有本事，做生意成功，風光回鄉，讓您父母和祖宗十八代笑得見牙不見眼，那也只有中孝而已。

最大的孝，是修行，因為您能助您父母脫離六道，您們都不用再受輪迴之苦。

因此釋迦牟尼佛成佛時，祂的母親摩耶夫人便得升忉利天中，享天福。

您能先從一佛號、一佛咒開始，便已向修行的道路邁出第一步了！

不要小看報父母恩咒，因為這是釋迦牟尼佛所傳的。所以各位大德，千萬要記得這一點 - 一定要教您的孩子和您一起唸報父母恩咒！👧🏻👦🏻

做父母的，要懂得投資啊！百善孝為先，孩子小小年紀就懂得盡孝，就有了人最基本的良知，為自己種下了廣大的福田。就算以後您不在他們的身邊，他們也必會遇到貴人扶持，命運不會太壞，只因為他們是孝子孝女。

再說了，萬一您有什麼三長兩短，修行失敗，還有個後代可以助您！錯過了蓮花捷運，到不了佛國淨土，到天界做天人，總比擠在一堆骨灰盎裡好呀！😂

報父母恩咒：「南無密栗哆。哆婆曳。梭哈」
Nan Mo Mi Li Duo Duo Po Yi Soha

（我是修真佛密法的，因此此咒結尾，我是依著我師尊的唸音，唸「梭哈」。這代表圓滿、成就的意思。）

Today is the 5th day of the 7th Lunar month, and also my fifth day of reciting the Mantra of Repaying the Debt of Gratitude to Parents this year.

I have been reciting this mantra for fifteen years.

I read many comments from my viewers, that they started reciting this mantra this year after watching my Lives. I am so glad for your parents. 😄

In our Chinese society, generally speaking, the most basic forms of filial piety include:

1) making a honest living to give pocket money to our parents
2) being pleasant towards our parents
3) not breaking the law
4) carrying on the family lineage
5) not doing any shameful act

However, in the eyes of the Dharma, these are merely small acts of filial piety.

Going by this definition, I am definitely an unfilial daughter. Because there were many years when I got into debt from doing business and was unable to give my parents a single cent. I could not bring myself to tell them the truth and could only say I was broke.

Okay, if you are more capable than me congratulations on your big-time success in doing business! So you return to your homeland in triumphant victory and see your parents + ancestors of the past 18 generations grinning from teeth to teeth.

That is just the medium level of filial piety.

The biggest form of filial piety is spiritual cultivation. For you can help your parents to break free from the six realms of reincarnation and all of you will no longer have to undergo the sufferings of birth and death.

Hence, when Shakyamuni Buddha attained Buddhahood, his deceased mother, Queen Maya, ascended to Trayastrimsas Heaven to enjoy heavenly pleasures.

When you start reciting one Buddha’s name, or one Buddhist mantra, you have already taken your first step onto the path of Buddhist cultivation.

Do not belittle the Mantra of Repaying Debt of Gratitude to Parents, for it was expounded by Shakyamuni Buddha.

So to all my noble audience, please remember this very important point - you must teach your children to recite this mantra together with you! 👧🏻👦🏻

As parents, we should all be astute investors. Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. When a child knows how to be filial from a young age, he/she already has the most basic conscience as a human, and that will sow the seeds for fields of great blessedness.

Come one day when you can no longer be by your child’s side, your child will definitely meet many benefactors in the life path and not have a wretched destiny, because they are filial from young.

Moreover, if anything untoward happen to you and you fail miserably in your spritual cultivation, at least you still have a descendant to help you.

Should you miss the lotus train to the Buddha’s Pureland, to be a celestial being in the Heaven far surpasses the fate of being squeezed like sardines in a urn placed in the columbarium. 👻

報父母恩咒：「南無密栗哆。哆婆曳。梭哈」
Nan Mo Mi Li Duo Duo Po Yi Soha

(I practices the True Buddha Tantric Dharma, thus I follow my Root Guru’s recitation sounds and recite “soha” at the end of this mantra. This represents perfection and accomplishment.）

【最大的福份】GREATEST FORTUNE
(English writing below)

哇～～～線上視訊諮詢真好玩！😃

我剛結束為在紐西蘭客人批八字的線上視訊。這是我第一次做視訊諮詢。

我一向比較喜歡當面會面，所以海外客人可選擇來新加坡見我，或付費請我給過去。

但是中華玄學提倡的就是要隨機應變。無論現在生活如何的安穩，人要時時居安思危，懂得變通，更要隨時準備就緒，才能把握時機，甚至從危機中脫穎而出。

畢竟如《易經》所說，唯一不變的是變化。

世事無常，沒有永遠的好，也沒有永遠的壞。

止步不前的人永遠不會進步。

這位客人關注我的臉書已有幾年的時間。

當她請我為她批八字時，我一口答應接下這差事。

幾年前，我寫過一篇文章，提到風水命理師都要能夠及願意代客人的業，因此我們很多同行都是佛教徒。

這位女士當時就私訊我，想以我的名義捐款，為我祈福。她請我選一個我喜歡的慈善機構。

我拒絕了她的好意。因為我認為自己的人生選擇，應該自己去承擔。

現在也輪到我以我的所長來答謝她。

視訊裡，我看到她一部份的居家擺設，並道出那是漏財之相，會無緣無故花了很多錢，卻又不知道錢去了哪裡，財富無法增長。

客人點頭同意，說家裡確實有這樣的問題。

我指點她該如何化解這風水問題。

雖然這次不是看風水，但我不會忘記，誰曾經施恩於我的。

在二月份時，我寫信給我的根本上師聖尊蓮生活佛，求「救瘟疫度母」持咒灌頂。

幾個星期前，我收到回信。

回信中，結尾恭錄著師尊文集《神變的遊歷》裡的一段話：

“有很多修行人的「庫藏」，裡面是充滿智慧的法本，他們將智慧握在手中，「庫藏」內並不一定有什麼福份，他們只是將智慧發光，使一切眾生得到成就，而他們的福份就是「自在」。”

我家師兄讀了之後，緊張地拿著信來問我：「你是不是在信裡跟師尊求財，然後祂的意思是跟你說你命中沒有嗎？為什麼信會這樣子回覆你？」

真是好氣又好笑。

「沒有啊！我只求持咒灌頂，其他都沒有求。」

但你知道嗎？

這也正是我此生唯一的所求。沒有什麼比這更值得拼上我一生的青春了。

為明天四小時的視訊諮詢準備咯！

Ooooh, consultations via video calls are FUN! 😃

I just concluded my very first video call for a Bazi analysis of a client in New Zealand.

I always prefer to meet in person, so either overseas clients come to Singapore to meet me or they pay for me to fly over.

But Chinese Metaphysics is always about being flexible and prepared for change, no matter how comfortable we may be in our current state. After all, as I-Ching states, the only constant is change.

Nothing lasts forever, be it good or bad.

Nobody progresses by staying put.

This client has been following my Facebook for several years.

When she approached me to analyse her Bazi, I agreed right away.

Years ago, I wrote a post on how Feng Shui practitioners must be able and willing to take over the negative karma of clients, hence many of us are Buddhist practitioners.

This lady PM me and offered to do a donation under my name, as she wished to send me some blessings. She asked me to choose a charity.

I kindly declined. Because I should take personal responsibility for my choices in life.

Now is my time to thank her with what I am competent at.

During the video call, I saw a part of her home. I told her that was a sign of leaking wealth. Money would be spent carelessly without knowing where it goes, and it gets harder to grow the family wealth.

The client nodded in agreement with my observation, and said this was indeed the current situation.

While this may not be a Feng Shui audit, I went ahead to tell her the way to resolve it.

Because I never forget who had shown kindness to me.

In February, I wrote a letter to my Grandmaster His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-Sheng to seek empowerment for the mantra of the Tara who saves from contagious diseases.

I received the reply a few weeks ago.

Interestingly, the letter ended with a short paragraph extracted from my Grandmaster’s book:

“In the treasury storage of many spiritual cultivators, lies many Dharma books of wisdom. They hold the wisdom in their hands.

There may not be much good fortune in their treasury storage. They just add shine of brilliance to the wisdom, so that all sentient beings can achieve accomplishments.

And their blessedness is freedom from worldly restraints.”

The husband read the letter and asked me panicking, “ Did you ask Grandmaster to grant you riches or something? He said you are not destined for wealth, is it? Why did the letter write that?”

“No! I never asked for anything, except the empowerment!”

But you know what?

This is all that I wish for till the end of my life. Nothing else will ever be worth my youth.

Onward to another 4-hour video call tomorrow!

出家是爲了上求佛果，下化眾生。出家是走出世俗的家，一心一意的研習佛法，再以四無量心，上报四重恩，下济三途苦。是故，出家是非常偉大，及尊貴的。

農曆九月十九日，乃南無大慈大悲，觀世音菩薩的出家日。祂名爲觀世音，就是看世間一切眾生口發出的聲音，便通曉所有苦難眾生的呼救。這就是千處祈求千處應，苦海常做渡人舟也。菩薩手中的楊柳淨水，衹要霑上一滴，即得清淨。

大家若已意思到自己的過失，就好好地在這偉大，超凡的觀世音菩薩出家日裡，沐浴齋戒，着新淨衣服，在菩薩面前，清水鮮菓，恭敬合掌，恭唸「南無大慈大悲觀世音菩薩」一百零八遍，然後向菩薩懺悔一切，身口意所造的業。大家要谨記，業消福增這四個字啊！

好，吾等一同恭祝南無大慈大悲觀世音菩薩：出家日愉快，願佛道隆昌，願一切眾生皆能得渡。

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

To become a monk or a nun, is to seek Buddhahood and transform all sentient beings. It is to leave the secular home, research and study the Dharma with a single intent. After which, with the heart of Four Immeasurables, requite the fourfold kindness from above, and relieve the suffering of the three life-paths below.

It is very noble and esteemed to become a monk or a nun.
The 19th day of the 9th Lunar month (17 Oct 2019) is the Renunciation Day of the Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara (Chenrezig) Bodhisattva. His name is Chenrezig, because He looks with unwavering eyes at the sounds emitted by all the sentient beings and will know the calls for help by the suffering sentient beings.

This is : Prayers depart from a thousand hearts; in a thousand hearts He answers. Sailing the sea of suffering, He constantly takes people across. When you can get a mere drop of the pure water from the Bodhisattva's willows, you will be purified.

If you are already aware of your wrongs, on the Renunciation Day of this noble and extraordinary Bodhisattva, take a shower and go on a vegetarian diet. Put on clean clothes, and offer a cup of clean water and fruits to the Bodhisattva. Put your palms together, and recite: Namo Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, for 108 times. Repent to the Bodhisattva for your misdeeds in your body, speech and mind.

Please remember, your good fortune increases when your negative karma is eradicated.

Let us wish the Great Compassionate Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva a Happy Renunciation Day. May Buddhism flourish and all sentient beings receive deliverance.

Om shrim hrim klim glaum gam ganapataye vara varada sarvajanamme
Ganesh 象頭財神咒 ~每天聽,跟著念,財源廣進,大發利市~

「嗡。嘎那巴底耶。梭哈。」
「嗡。嘎那巴底耶。梭哈。」
「嗡。嘎那巴底耶。梭哈。」

Ganesha象頭神
創始之王；障礙之王；賜福之神
也稱為：Ganapati
屬地：印度
象頭的象頭神可能是現代印度教萬神殿中最受歡迎的神靈；被數百萬尊敬。他也被佛教徒，耆那教徒和新異教徒援引。他對所有人都是仁慈和慷慨的。

創始之王，在創辦任何新企業之前，都要先尋求象頭神的祝福。
象頭神也是障礙之王，儘管有時也會引起憤怒，但有時只是為了吸引更多的崇敬，因此消除障礙但也創造了障礙。 Ganesha的另一面是，必須在新的冒險活動之前將他消氣，以免他在您的道路上放置障礙。

Ganesha向奉獻者們授予成功，勝利，繁榮，物質安慰，浪漫，愛情，更好的性愛以及超自然的力量和技能；但是，他也可以阻止所有這些事情，如果它受到侮辱和激怒，. Ganesha 是一種慷慨，富有同情心的人，很快就會給予幫助。 脾氣暴躁，但也很快冷靜下來，可以得到撫慰和安撫。 （但請記住一句古老的諺語：大象永遠不會忘記！）

• Ganesha 是印度教儀式中首先崇拜的神靈。

• 他是所有遊行隊伍中頭一個的形象。


•他是所有印度教儀式中必不可少的組成部分，除了喪禮。

歷史證據表明，象頭神早在公元前1200年就已為人所知。然而，在公元四世紀之前，倖存的描繪很少見。大約在公元五世紀左右，他才加入印度教萬神殿。
據信，Ganesha已開始化身，成為叢林部落尊敬的亞利安前大象精神。除了他的其他禮物外，他還被要求保護免受象群侵害。他被吸收到印度教萬神殿中，成為希瓦（Shiva）和帕爾瓦蒂（Parvati）的兒子。

• Ganesha 治愈身體，精神和情感方面的疾病。
• Ganesha 有能力從前世的業力中解放出來。
• 他會被孤兒召喚


象神（梵語：गणेश，音譯葛內舍；梵文拉丁轉寫：Gaṇeśa）印度教中的智慧之神，主神濕婆與雪山神女的兒子，戰爭之神室建陀的兄弟。由於象頭神負責統領眾伽那（gaṇa，一群侍奉濕婆的、喜歡搞怪的小神），因此他又名群主（gaṇapati，意即伽那之主）。他的外形為斷去一邊象牙的象頭人身並長著四隻手臂，體色或紅或黃，坐騎是他的老友、一隻狡獪的老鼠。在各種雕繪中，他一般是盤坐著或是翹起其中一邊的膝蓋。
對象頭神的崇拜非常廣泛，不侷限於原始的印度教與更早的婆羅門教；早期在佛陀時代，印度北方已經盛行原始密教，後原始佛教結合密教，出現最早的密宗，其中更演化出各大神祇的不同於當地教派思想、與修行之法，尤其在中原隋唐左右初期，印度高僧紛紛傳法向東遠播至中原隋唐朝，以及東瀛日本，向北則是由印度高僧有第二佛陀之稱的蓮華生大士傳播至西藏。
後中原密教經過滅佛行動，如今佛教中只剩西藏與日本仍保有像頭神的祭祀與修行之法，而中國各寺廟已不復見。
在早期印度密教，和在婆羅門教不同的是，以佛教"出離"與"解脫"為主要思想主軸，但卻有各種術法，其義旨在於幫助修行人"方便"修行。象神在大藏經"佛經密乘部"記載多處，其威能與術法不可思議，其旨，以方便法幫助修行者得其所需，印度密教翻譯的佛經其名號在中文翻譯為 "大聖歡喜天"是為善神。
其起因是在久遠前象神曾向"密教祖師金剛薩埵"與"觀音菩薩"投誠皈依，發誓護持密教行者。後更與十一面觀音化身結為夫妻；其本尊法門被密宗的祖師集結，由印度早期發展而成完整的系列(後佛與密教因教義高深，不被當世接受，消失於印度史)，由印度高僧傳至唐朝(唐密)再傳至東瀛(成為東密)。後來唐朝政治因素而滅佛，中國的密宗信仰湮滅，象神信仰亦然。
但從佛經佛典當中，仍然記載許多法門以及其思想，尤其是《金剛薩埵說頻那夜迦天成就儀軌經》或《大聖歡喜雙身大自在天毘那夜迦王歸依唸誦供養法》等等。可見當時的印度密教的象神和原始婆羅門教以及至今的印度教，象神的信仰已有差別。《天神乘與佛乘之別》
其身有單身(二臂、四臂甚至多臂)，在平常期多以財神(單身)之姿護佑眾生，若在密教圓滿次地上，則現雙身像以教化之(另一身是觀音)。
其本尊乃王者身、善神，經典更記載:象神源始自"大日如來"，經雲《此聖尊自在天。即摩訶毘廬遮那如來。為饒益無福眾生。權化示現此像》；亦提到，此神有善身與惡身之別(乃深秘義旨)，本尊王身是善神，其亦化身邪神(常隨魔、障礙魔)以及驕傲的天神之姿，常被密宗金剛神(金剛薩埵、觀音菩薩、大日如來的化身)踩在腳下，象徵征服自我邪念、魔難、障礙的意思。
