The initial karma encountered in the world is often of great significance. After I was extremely annoyed about living in the world and chose to commit suicide to be rescued, I finally had the karma to encounter the Buddhadharma. At that time, I was only in my twenties, living in the world. For more than XNUMX years, I have read many books and knowledge in the world, and have tasted the pleasures of the world, but I have never been able to feel that I am truly alive. Only after encountering the Buddhadharma did I have the experience of rebirth, and I began to realize the value of life. .The first thing to be thankful for is my enlightenment teacher^上net^underVenerable Kong Lao, if he hadn’t started the trend of spreading the teachings through internet satellites, I would not have had the chance to experience the beginning of true liberation and salvation. I believe this will be the same for many fellow practitioners who are as useful as me. Grateful mood.

In the world, there are advantages and disadvantages, and there are good and bad. It depends on which standpoint you comment on. From my standpoint, the old monk has spread the Dharma widely throughout the ten directions, so that all sentient beings can plant the seeds of salvation. , this is definitely the correct approach. As for whether sentient beings encounter karma, whether they can benefit from it, or they may have different views, this is a matter of personal good roots and virtue karma.It has been nearly XNUMX years since I first got close to the old monk around XNUMX and today, no matter where I study during these years, I always remember the kindness of the teacher in my heart, without any thoughts of judgment. , even if I have heard some different opinions on the old monk, I can understand it objectively, because the Buddhadharma talks about causality, all causality is related to the cause and effect of the previous life, and there is no absolute right or wrong, not to mention the six connections like me How can an unknown ordinary person have the wisdom to judge according to the appearance?Therefore, as a disciple, one should only remember the kindness of the teacher, and try to repay the teacher's kindness. Others should not make more subjective comments.

Talking about the Dharma relationship with the old monk is also very wonderful, it is very deep when it is said that it is deep, and it is very shallow when it is said that it is superficial.It is because I was not only able to enter Buddhism because of the enlightenment of the old monk, but also I was the earliest disciple and grandson of the old monk, and I belonged to my own family. He personally trained the students in the Singapore Dharma Training Course, and he graduated with the fifth place in the score given by his elders.Because of this kind of dharma, I was able to have the opportunity to really get close to the old monk during my studies, and I was greatly blessed by the old monk, and not only because of the blessing and protection of the old monk, I was able to learn Buddhism as a beginner for three years. I entered the class to participate in the training, and even when I was about to be knocked down by adversity during my training and retreated, it was because of the face-to-face blessing and persuasion of the old monk that I was able to hold on to the end and graduate with excellent grades. Deep, it is rare for ordinary people to encounter such a powerful help once in their life, so I have always believed that the old monk is one of the greatest nobles in my life.

If we say that the relationship is shallow, it seems to be very shallow, because the relationship between teachers and students is supposed to be a lifetime thing, and after I graduated from the training class, it seemed that I ran out of stipends. Even if the old monk's mercy once wanted me to live in Australia and continue my studies, The karma couldn't mature, so I had to leave the enlightened teacher and start living a wandering life. From the point of view of Buddhism, it must be the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas who wanted to hone me and guided me to study in various places. , because if I only learn to live in Australia in this life, it will naturally be a great reward. It will definitely be a good thing for my self-interest, but it will be deficient in other aspects, and it will definitely be difficult to learn widely in the future. You can also follow the arrangements of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas safely, accept every test question calmly and joyfully at all times and everywhere, and have never lost confidence in the Buddhadharma, let alone lost gratitude to your teachers.

I remember that two years after I left the Society, I was the abbot of Po Lam Chan Monastery in Lantau Island, Hong Kong.^上Holy^underThanks to the achievements of an old monk, I successfully received the grand ordination of two monks and three altars at the Po Lin Monastery in Hong Kong. According to the rules, after receiving the grand ordination, I must thank the teacher, that is, thank the teacher, and I had already I don’t have a permanent residence in Sangdu anymore, and there is no Master Sangdu who can thank him, so in addition to thanking Master Shengyi, the ordained monk who accomplished my ordination, I also went to the Hong Kong Buddha Education Association to thank the old monk. For me, the old monk It was my teacher who first learned the Fa. I thought it was reasonable to thank him for the old man, so I did my best to prepare a red envelope for the elderly monk, but for some reason the old monk asked the waiter to return the red envelope to me. I just thought that after the old monk received the big ordination, he also went to thank his teacher Li Bingnan, who was the teacher of the Fa. At that time, Li Binglao only accepted him as a token of one dollar, so I took the money out of the red envelope. , which was exchanged for a dollar as a symbolic offering, which was later accepted by the old monk.

In the next few years, it was the stage when I really began to face all kinds of hardships. Not only did I have no wisdom, but I also suffered a lot, and I had no ability to repay the teacher. Until the last few years, I have a small dojo that I am responsible for. , there are also a group of students who are always with me, and finally have a little bit of ability, so sometimes I will go to Hong Kong to visit the old monks, and represent the students to provide for the old monks, and the old monks will also give us the opportunity to take care of themselves, so I think all of this is due to the compassion of the old monk, who observes karma and complies with all sentient beings.In fact, these elder-care monks are not used at all, and no matter how many offerings are made, they are just for the sake of all sentient beings, and they are just for the sake of all sentient beings. In addition, I must be able to achieve real achievements in my practice, so that I can have sufficient directors and truly achieve the purpose of repaying the teacher's kindness. In addition, I have to work harder, and then I must support the teacher with my achievements in Taoism. I hope that through the past three years and five years. The only words to chant the Buddha, and repay the enlightenment teacher's initial grace with the merit of the Dharma chant.It has been nearly XNUMX years since I studied Buddhism, and now I finally have this fortune and karma to devote myself to the practice of my major.From April XNUMX, XNUMX, I decided to stay in my permanent residence in Taitung to facilitate confinement, and began to practice Buddhism for three to five years. During this period, my practice was to study and hold within XNUMX hours. Contemplate the nature of the Buddha, bow to the Buddha's features in your body, call the Buddha's name in your mouth, take in the six senses when walking, standing, sitting, lying down, and going out of slopes, and keep your mind inseparable from the Buddha of your own nature. Before Amitabha appears, I would like to give up my life to live in peace and health, and come back soon after completing the Buddhist path.If you still have the predestined relationship with the Saha sentient beings, you are also willing to follow the predestined relationship, learn the great practice of Samantabhadra with no wishes and no actions, and take on all the predestined conditions.May all sentient beings attain Buddhahood.May all sufferings be endured on my behalf.May all evils be eliminated.May all merits be dedicated.Namo Amitabha!
