未知的將來

July 18, 2015


上週我參加了一個SGI研討會, 其中一位會員說，她在十月將被轉移到一個新的工作岡位在，她对這未知的將來有小小担心。
我記得曾讀過一個故事，關於一個老人，他將會入住到一個遠程的養老院。他的朋友問他是否會開心，他說：‘’我當然會，因為我現在已經决定我將會很開心“
因此，我給這個會員說：你的未來是'知'的，因為你可以念誦南無妙法蓮華經和决意無論在任何地方，做任何事都會很快樂。
我們的成功失敗，快樂或苦惱全賴於一個瞬間的思想。
佛教稱為“一念三千‘’

Fear of the Unknown

July 18

last week when i attended a sgi discussion meeting, a member said she would be transferred to a new job in oct/nov and she is a bit anxious for fear of the unknown.

I remember reading a story about a very old guy who was going to be admitted into a remote retirement home. His friends asked if he would be happy there and he said: of course i will be, because i have already determined that i will be happy there."

therefore i said to this member: your future is 'known', because you can chant nam myo ho renge kyo and determined to be happy, whatever you do and wherever you are.

our success, or failure in our life depends on just one moment of thought.

in buddhism this is called 'Ichinen sanzen'

一件有趣的事

July 2, 2015

 

我想和大家分享一件有趣的事。

今天下午，我到了一個購物中心去吃我最喜歡的雞肉串。當我吃完站起身來之後，一個坐我在旁邊的女人就開始跟我說話，她說：我兒子有興趣.....，我因聽不到她在說什麼，她重複了好幾次。

然後，她大聲說：“我的兒子對你感興趣，我們可以時常再見你嗎?

我感到非常驚訝，回頭一看, 見到坐在她對面的兒子是一位年齡大約廿多歲及智商稍微遲鈍的年輕人。

我不知道該如何應對，所以說：我已結婚，並有兩個孩子。

她顯得很驚訝。我沒有繼續告訴她的是：我已有三個孫子了!  (因為我知道這會嚇死了她)

回想起來，我知道這年輕人不是對我有興趣，而是因為我的慈悲, 每天唸南無妙法蓮華經, 努力做佛法修行及宣揚佛法, 令我的生命發出良好的振動力和頻律，令接近的人感到舒服。這個年輕人不是對我感興趣，而是他能感覺到我的好頻率，並想和我說話及分享。

唱唸喃'無妙法蓮華經' 可以將我們自身最好的能量帶動出來!

 

Funny event

July 2, 2015

hi
am going to tell you something very funny.

this afternoon i went to a shopping centre and had my favorite chicken kebab.  when i had finished and stood up, a woman sitting right next to my table started to talk to me, she said: my son is interested....., i couldnt hear what she was saying and she repeated a couple of times.

then she said in a loud voice: "my son is interested in YOU! can we see you more often???"i was very surprised and looked at her son who was sitting opposite her.  i saw a slightly retarded young man below 30.

 

i didnt know how to respond and said: i am married, and have two children.

 

She seemed very surprised.  what i hadnt told her was: i also have three grandchildren, ( this will scare the ............ out of her.)

 

looking back, i think it is not me that he is interested in, its the good vibration i generate from my chanting, my compassion in people and my effort in buddhist practice that makes peope feel good.  this young man is not interested in me, but rather he could feel my good frequency and would like to share .

 

chanting nam myo ho renge kyo and efforts in kosen rufu can bring forth the best in us!

glad to share.
