這個故事發生在川東萬縣,也是有一位牢裏的犯人,也是想逃。這個人沒念過書,只聽過‘西遊記’裏有個孫悟空本身很大,上天下地,變來變去,所以,他在牢裏,天天就念齊天大聖孫悟空,求你救救我,傳我一點本事,讓我逃出來,天天念,天天求。
怪了,結果夜裏做夢,孫悟空來了,教他打猴拳。坐了七八年牢,練了七八年猴拳,猴拳練得出神入化,手一揮,鐵條就彎了,他大搖大擺地從牢裏出來。
逃出來以後,就靠教拳維生,同時也做了很多好事悔過。
有一天夜晚,看到一位穿白衣服的女孩,匆匆忙忙地鑽進一座宅院裏去。他好奇,運用他猴拳的功夫,也跟了進去。可是,進去以後,看不到人,難道是豬八戒的徒弟?
再 仔細一瞧,有個房間露出微微的燈光,裏面一個年輕女子準備上吊,那個穿白衣服的女人也出現了。那個年輕女子的頭往繩子裏套,那位白衣女子就在地上拜了拜。
他懂了,在牢裏,他聽過凡是人想自殺,都有鬼在作祟,便趕緊一個箭步上去,把那個上吊的女子就下來,那個女鬼也跑掉。家裏人都出來謝他,不在話下。
他 回家後,女鬼也跟來了,睡覺的時候,女鬼找上他了,女鬼說你破壞了我的事,你非死不可。
他說我是孫悟空的徒弟,你這一套對我沒有用。女鬼說不行,你非死不 可。好吧!他就把繩子拿來掛上,脖子一運氣,當然吊不死。女鬼跪下一拜,他馬上感受到一股無形的重力從肩上下來;女鬼第二拜下來,力量更大,繩子也斷了。 這個女鬼奈何不了他,結果就哭起來了,因為找不到替身,無法投胎,很傷心。
他看這個女鬼也蠻可憐的,他說這樣子好了,我們兩個合作,你是鬼,哪一家出事,你比我清楚,我會武功,我們去救人,功德做滿了,你好去投胎,我也好贖罪。女鬼也答應了,不再去害人。
好了,這兩個--一個是孫悟空的徒弟也是逃犯,一個女鬼,就合作起來。經過了五六年,做了很多好事。
有一天,女鬼向他跪下來。孫悟空的徒弟一看感到奇怪,說:‘唷?怎麼了?又來了?’ ‘不,我感謝你,這幾年跟著你,做了很多功德,現在,閻王那邊通知我,可以不用找替身直接投胎了。’女鬼還告訴他到哪里投胎,而且是個男孩,一百天後去看他。 他說:‘好啊!恭喜你!不過,你走了,沒有人給我打聽消息。’兩人互道珍重,就此告別。
但是,女鬼出了門,又走回來。‘怎麼?還有什麼事?’ ‘我忘了告訴你一個咒子,你再幫我做功德。
要是有人受了氣,傷心想投水、上吊、想自殺,都有鬼跟著,告訴他只要這個咒子一念,就沒事了。’ ‘什麼咒子?’ 〝大千世界,無掛無礙。自去自來,自由自在。要生便生,莫找替代。〞
這 個咒子很靈哦!我(南老師) 碰到過幾個人,告訴我心裏煩悶想自殺,我叫他趕快念。嘿!靈得很!一念就沒事。有時我看到這個人眼神不對,我就講這個故事給他聽,當然,他心裏有數。因為 有時侯有些話不能明講,你越勸他不要自殺,他偏要死給你看,那就糟糕了。告訴他這個故事,回去一念,自殺的心理就去掉了。你們回去也講一講這個故事,替那 位女鬼做做功德。
不要小看這個咒子,這是有道理的,這幾句話等於是‘圓覺經’的第一部,「雖然是無明,也是無掛無礙,來去自在」。
Life is full of ups n downs n itz always like a dream but it is good to dream, be it good or bad - waking up to a new beginning, a new chapter, a new life. :)

心经结缘录 (Part 2)
Thursday, May 8, 2008
...Continue Part 1
[般若心经] 详名称作 [般若波罗蜜多心经] 或 [摩诃般若波罗蜜多心经]。 有多种译本,一般认为有八种翻译版,流传于世。
中国最早的汉译 [心经],相信是由 Kuma Rajira 所译成的,至今有一千五百多年历史。
中国佛教以显宗为主要特色,所念诵的心经,却是出于玄奘法师的翻译本,与 Kuma Rajira 的翻译本只有数字之差。
据闻当日唐太宗曾经出榜昭告天下,征求高明将 [心经] 再度删改,如能删一字而不失其义者,赏黄金百两,结果无人可改此经一个字。可见 [心经] 确是字字玄机,绝不简单。
[般若心经] 其实是一篇哲学论文,是最高佛学的宇宙观。
因此,心经没有宗教色彩,任何宗教任何人士均可诵读,体验经中的智慧。
佛祖释迦牟尼说修法共有八万四千个法门,每一法门皆可渡人称佛,所谓 [八万四千个] 只是比喻,谓方法极多,无以为数,只要领悟个中道理,每个人都有自己可选择的方法。 所谓 [皆可成佛], 亦是泛论一个人得到极大的快乐,非指死后可以成仙成佛,乃指今世能超脱 [生老病死苦], 挣脱人世间种种不幸和痛苦,做一个快乐的人罢了!
[摩诃般若波罗蜜多心经] 是什么?
最简单而又最流行的说法,是说依照 [般若] 的奇妙方式修法,可使人脱离 [[生老病死苦] 的烦恼,达到安乐平和的境界,得到永恒的幸福。

般若婆罗蜜多心经
观自在菩萨。行深般若波罗蜜多时。照见五蕴皆空。度一切苦厄。舍利子。色不异空。空不异色。色即是空。空即是色。受想行识。亦复如是。舍利子。是诸法空相。不生不灭。不垢不净。不增不减。是故空中无色。无受想行识。无眼耳鼻舌身意。无色声香味触法。无眼界。乃至无意识界。无无明。亦无无明尽。乃至无老死。亦无老死尽。无苦集灭道。无智亦无得。以无所得故。菩提萨埵。依般若波罗蜜多故。心无罣碍。无罣碍故。无有恐怖远离一切颠倒梦想。究竟涅盘。三世诸佛。依般若波罗蜜多故。得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。故知般若波罗蜜多。是大神咒。是大明咒。是无上咒。是无等等咒。能除一切苦。真实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多咒。即说咒曰。羯谛羯谛。波罗羯谛。波罗僧羯谛。菩提萨婆诃。
佛教教义,博大精深,每一卷每一字都含有极深的哲理。据统计,佛教遗留下来的佛经,共有三千零五十三部,一万一千九百七十卷。
在佛教经典中,最重要的部分,称为 [般若部]。在这 [般若部] 的经典中,最具代表性的,是 [大般若经]。
[大般若经] 多达六百部,但 [大般若经] 的精髓,却在一篇仅二百六十多字的 [般若心经] 之内。因此,[般若心经] 被喻为 [大般若经] 的心脏,也就是真真正正的 [心] 经。诵读了这篇经,就等如诵读了六百卷的 [大般若经]。

是命,还是运???
Monday, May 5, 2008
正所谓 :一命,二运,三风水,四书,五经。
最普遍,最常被人讨论的通常是前三者 -- 即 ‘命’,‘运’ 及 ‘风水’。
很多人都很喜欢看命,算命。 相信我们大部分的人多多少少都被人算过命了吧?那请问你们通常看了之后呢?。。。“哦,既然已注定,那就认命了吧。” 是这样的反应吗?
那请问,如果结果是这样,那你们还看来干嘛?那倒不如还不去算,白浪费钱!还是只为了 “看爽”? 神经,如果嫌钱多的话,大可拿来给我老人家花岂不更好!哈哈。。。
那,这是不是意味着既然我们大多数的一生命运早已有了定数 (所谓的注定),我们就真的是 ‘认命’ 了呢?
答案是。。。不!
那些相信命运是完全掌控在自己手中的人大概通常都是些一生都是比较没什么大风大浪,比较平稳,比较顺的吧?如果命运真全是控制在自己手中的话不是很恐怖吗,尤其是如果是那些有邪念的人?好像生病,例如癌症,交通意外等等。。。能完全控制吗?顶多只能预防而已,不是吗?
但要完全改变命运也不可能。。。我只能够认同起码能靠做或不做一些事情来使我们的命运有所改善,起码不至于那么糟糕。。。
你们听过了凡这个人物吗?他的一生都被孔先生推算中(在 “转命运” 之前)。所发生的都一一的 “照” 孔先生所推算的应验了。一点也不漏,不差。 直到他遇到一位禅师,他才领悟到所谓的 “立命” 是要靠自己 “创造” 命运而不是被命运所束缚。但如果不想被命运所束缚的话,我们就必须尽量多多积德,行善。千万不可小看此行的善很小就认为没有作用。而出了多积德行善之外,当然,我们也不可作恶,得尽量把我们的 “恶根” 给铲除掉,方可改善,甚至改造我们的命运。 所以,以此来讲,这不只是指那些认为本身的 “命水” 没那么好的人而讲的。 尤其是那些原本命就已经不错的可得注意千万不可作恶,否则,前世所修来的好命水,好福气恐怕也不保咯!
所以,在明白了原来命运也可改善之后,你们还在犹豫些什么呢?尽快 “放下屠刀,立地成佛吧!”
大家千万要时时刻刻记得多行善,积德哦!
阿弥陀佛!

Om Mani Padme Hum

THE MEANING OF OM MANI PADME HUM
H.H. the Fourteenth Dalai Lama
It is very good to recite the mantra OM MANI PADME HUM, but while you are doing it, you should be thinking on its meaning, for the meaning of the six syllables is great and vast. The first, OM is composed of three letters, A, U, M. These symbolise the practitioner’s impure body, speech and mind; they also symbolise the pure exalted body, speech and mind of a Buddha.
Can impure body, speech and mind be transformed into pure body, speech and mind, or are they entirely separate? All Buddhas are cases of beings who were like ourselves and then in dependence on the path became enlightened; Buddhism does not assert that there is anyone who from the beginning is free from faults and possesses all good qualities. The development of pure body, speech and mind comes from gradually leaving the impure states and their being transformed into the pure.
How is this done? The path is indicated by the next four syllables. MANI, meaning jewel, symbolises the factors of method, the altruistic intention to become enlightened, compassion and love. Just as a jewel is capable of removing poverty, so the altruistic mind of enlightenment is capable of removing the poverty, or difficulties, of cyclic existence and of solitary peace. Similarly, just as a jewel fulfils the wishes of sentient beings, so the altruistic intention to become enlightened fulfils the wishes of sentient beings.
The two syllables, PADME, meaning lotus, symbolise wisdom. Just as a lotus grows from mud but is not sullied by the faults of mud, so wisdom is capable of putting you in a situation of non-contradiction whereas there would be contradiction if you did not have wisdom. There is wisdom realising impermanence, wisdom realising that persons are empty of being self-sufficient or substantially existent, wisdom that realises the emptiness of duality - that is to say, of difference of entity between subject and object - and wisdom that realises the emptiness of inherent existence. Though there are many different types of wisdom, the main of all these is the wisdom realising emptiness.
Purity must be achieved by an indivisible unity of method and wisdom, symbolised by the final syllable HUM, which indicates indivisibility. According to the sutra system, this indivisibility of method and wisdom refers to wisdom affected by method and method affected by wisdom. In the mantra, or vajrayana vehicle, it refers to one consciousness in which there is the full form of both wisdom and method as one undifferentiable entity. In terms of the seed syllable of Akshobhya - the immovable, the unfluctuating, that which cannot be disturbed by anything.
Thus the six syllables, OM MANI PADME HUM, mean that in dependence on the practice of a path that is an indivisible union of method and wisdom, you can transform your impure body, speech and mind into the pure exalted body, speech and mind of a Buddha. It is said that you should not seek for Buddhahood outside of yourself; the substances for the achievement of Buddhahood are within. As Maitreya says in his Sublime Continuum of the Great Vehicle (Uttaratantra), all beings naturally have the Buddha nature in their own continuum. We have within us the seed of purity, the essence of a One Gone thus (Tathagatabarbha) that is to be transformed and fully developed into Buddhahood.
