【尋花問柳】Romp Among The Flowers 🌺

前天見客時，一位年輕客人很憤慨的說：「我一直跟我家人說，要唸佛要消業障。他們有時聽，大多數不聽！

我安了這麼莊嚴的壇城在家，他們兩老就是不要唸，還說信不信佛根本不重要！老師，你看我父母多固執！他們業障深重，才聽不進佛法！」

我答：「你家的壇城，是我這些年看到最莊嚴的一個，很攝人。確實一個人聽不進佛法時，也是因為他的業障比較重。」

我看了一下客人的八字。

「你嫖過妓？」

客人怔了一下：「有！」

我：「還嫖了好些年，你也去KTV抱女人摸女人？」

「做工難免要應酬啊，老師⋯⋯」

「你明明就很喜歡，不要在我面前裝可憐。家人知道嗎？」

「當然不知道！老婆也不知道！」

這是犯了《冥王律令》情慾邪淫罪的第七條：尋花問柳──情慾買賣，犯了「眼淫」、「耳淫」、「手淫」、「口淫」、「身淫」、「心淫」。

也當然犯了妄語戒。

無視太太健康的安危，恣意縱慾，萬一染上性病，怎麼辦？這是讓慾望沖昏了頭，喪失了人格。

邪淫罪業重者，因功德林已損，其一果報是欲說善法時，無人會歡喜聆聽，無人會起信，更別說信受奉行了。

而當說法對象是自己最在乎的人時，這種嗔心的燃燒和難過的折磨也正是最刺痛的苦受了。

就算已戒了，但過去的罪衍尚未洗清。

因此只要你發露懺悔：
往昔所造諸惡業，
皆由無始貪嗔癡，
從身語意之所生，
一切我今皆懺悔。

一字一句的向佛菩薩細說出自己過去的罪衍，速速懺悔，一直懺悔直到看到懺相，可能還來得及挽救一切的福祉！

During a consultation on Monday, a young client got very upset, “I kept telling my family to recite the Buddha’s name to eradicate their negative karma. Sometimes they listen, but most of the time they don’t!

I set up such a dignified-looking altar at home, but my elderly parents plainly refused to do any chanting and said it was not important to believe in the Buddha! Teacher, look at how stubborn my parents are! They have severe negative karma, thus they can’t listen to the Dharma!”

I replied, “Your home altar is indeed one of the most dignified-looking among those I have seen in these few years. Indeed when one closes one’s ears to the Dharma, his karmic obstructions are aplenty.”

I took a look at the client’s Bazi again.

“You patronize prostitutes before?

The client’s eyes widened, “Yes!”

“And it lasted for a good many years. You also went KTV to hug and fondle women?”

“Teacher, there’s bound to be such entertainment due to work...”

“You obviously enjoy it, so don’t act pathetic in front of me. Does your family know?”

“Of course not! My wife also doesn’t know!”

This is flouting the 7th offence from the Laws of the King of Hades: Roving among the Flowers - buying and selling of a sexual nature. The sexual misconduct sins of the eye, ear, mouth, body and mind have been committed.

And of course, the sin of false speech too.

Disregarding the health of your wife and indulging in promiscuous acts, and what happen if you infect your wife with a STD? This is letting your desires going to your head and losing your humanity.

Your forest of merits gets damaged, and one retribution of severe sexual misconduct is no one listens and believes you when you speak the Dharma.

You ravage in the flames of anger and suffer from anguish when the person you speaks to is the one you care most. And this is the most piercing pain you are inflicted with as a result of your misdeeds.

You may have stopped these misdeeds but you have yet to atone for your sins.

Thus as long as you sincerely repent:

All evil karma I did in the past,
Came from beginningless greed, anger,
and delusion,
And was made by my body, mouth and mind.
I now repent of it all and reform.

Confess each and every one of your sin in detail to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Do it soon and often till you see the repentance phenomena. Then perhaps you are still in time to salvage all the lost blessedness!
