【心靈小品】生命的轉捩點——懺悔法門
仍在懵懵懂懂的二十二歲,我就隨著聖嚴師父出家了。「生轉熟,熟轉生」的學習過程並非易事,感恩有懺悔法門為依怙,才能一路走到現在。
剛出家還是行者時,年輕氣盛,往往動輒得咎,體力用不盡,修行不得力。那時在寺院廚房大寮領執,憑著一點小聰明,對一切總是有很多意見,尤其與組長之間常常意見不合。聖嚴師父常提醒我不能與人衝突,要多拜佛、多念觀世音菩薩。我心裡真的不想跟任何人對立,很努力聽師父的話,也時時警惕自己要與人和諧相處。但是,愈不想碰面的人,愈容易碰面;愈不想對立的人,愈容易衝突。這就是佛法所說的人生八苦之一的「怨憎會苦」,心所憎惡的人或事,愈想遠離,反而愈易共聚。看到自己只能被強大的業力推著走,完全不能自主,實在很痛苦。
年紀輕輕學佛,如同一張白紙;能接受高明畫師的指導,才有機會畫出好圖。我時常分享自己是有福報的人,這份福報不是因為年輕出家,而是在年輕的時候,就確立了對聖嚴師父的信心。
由於自己身心經常無法調適,與人產生的種種對立和衝突,聲音都傳到師父那裡。有一天早課時,聖嚴師父只好找我談話:「你到底有沒有用師父教你的方法在修行呢?」想不到師父甚至問我:「你到底想不想出家啊?」這才知道事態嚴重,可能無法順利落髮。幸好師父接著問:「師父幫你做個法好不好?」我說:「只要能夠出家,不被趕出去,要我做什麼都可以!」那時只心想原來師父有法力真厲害,還不太了解什麼是懺法。
早齋過後,師父讓所有僧眾在大殿集合,並要我在佛前跪下。師父說:「僧團是一個和合的僧團,不允許吵架。果慨行者常做錯事,還好與人爭辯,今天他要向僧團大眾求懺悔!」於是我跪在佛前向大眾懺悔,看著佛菩薩、看著師父、看著僧團的每一位法師,在那一瞬間,我確實打從心底真心覺得對不起大眾:對不起為我擔心的師父、對不起當家師、對不起組長……,心中充滿對不起的悔意。懺悔結束後,師父說:「大家也要感恩果慨,讓僧團有機會將懺悔羯摩建立起來,師父也有因緣可以親自主持,給未來僧團做了很好的示範。」
求懺之後,原本笨重的身體突然變得輕盈了,整個人彷彿新生一般,好輕盈!好輕鬆!察覺自己的身心反應後,更是感動:感動自己遇到一位有法的師父,不僅對弟子的身心狀況瞭若指掌,在修行的道路上,也清楚如何協助弟子們繼續往前走。從那一刻起,我對我的師父,深信不疑!出家至今,更清楚知道修行能走到什麼程度,取決於對三寶和師父的信心。
這次的懺悔羯摩,對我後續的修行方向,具有關鍵性的影響。由於身心產生如此巨大的轉變,而大感好奇師父到底幫我做了什麼法?我於是開始投入鑽研懺悔法門,所以懺悔法門便成為我的主修功課。
佛法的修持法門,不出「戒、定、慧」三學。凡夫眾生持戒不可能清淨,若要清淨,必須修懺悔法門。因此,「戒」的重點,其實在於「懺」。為什麼要懺呢?舉例來說:身體是修行的道器,就像一個杯子裡若裝滿髒水,就無法倒入法水,必須先將杯內的髒水倒出,才能有空間倒入法水,慢慢稀釋。如何倒出髒水呢?必須要修懺悔法門。
我們在禪堂打坐、在佛堂念佛、在法堂研讀教理,有些時候不得其力、難入其門,這就表示有障礙;或許可以先暫時放下目前的用功方式,轉而修持懺悔法門,即是先清除修行上的障礙,再繼續使用原本的法門,反而事半功倍。我們修行也可選擇以懺悔法門為主修法門,譬如大悲懺、淨土懺、地藏懺、法華三昧懺、梁皇寶懺、慈悲三昧水懺等等,這些懺法事理兼備,但若想真正受用,仍需要請教真正懂得懺悔法門的明師,因為這些懺悔法門帶有禪觀,而禪觀需要正知正見的老師指導。
聖嚴師父曾說:「懺悔業障,是佛教徒們天天要修的功課。」我自己因受益於懺悔法門甚多,確信懺悔法門是一切法門的前方便,也可以此直至究竟成佛。
《拜懺50問》一書能讓我們對於懺法,有一個整體的基本認識,更重要的是可以協助我們建立正確的知見,掌握拜懺的要領,化解心中的迷惑,所以樂於推薦給所有學佛者閱讀。
懺悔,真的是改變生命的轉捩點!只要願意開始試著拜懺,就能體會什麼是懺悔得清淨!懺悔得安樂!

【玳瑚師父客人見證】《玳瑚師父好厲害》
The Great Power of Master Dai Hu
文 / 吳女士
Written by: Ms Goh
非常感恩菩薩的慈悲,明明之中通過姐姐的介紹,讓我有機會認識師父。 姐姐介紹我看師父的臉書視頻,也跟我說有機會一定要撥電話給師父。
起初,我第一次看見師父的視頻, 沒有想到師父是那麼的年輕、英俊的師父😍。 心想這位師父這麼年輕,會厲害嗎?
在慢慢的繼續看視頻,讓我越來越想要撥電話給師父,希望師父能幫我改善我的生活。
將近15年來,我的胃因為工作的原因而出現了問題。 這問題看了好幾位醫生都沒法解決,可說是無藥可救。 我的身體就好比住了一隻活貓。 不能控制的,時不時就會發出貓叫聲,不騙你。 有時就像小貓肚子餓找食物的聲音,有時就像大貓要打架的聲音。同事聽了都會開玩笑,還給我取小名為貓貓 "Kitty"。在去年,新上司一聽到就皺眉頭,今年,年頭也因為這怪聲而被罵,哭到我眼睛腫到幾乎不能打開。工作的壓力、身體的問題,讓心情、心靈越來越不好。有時就想拿把刀切開肚子,把那只貓給抓出來。每當想起被罵的那一次,眼淚就不受控制的留下。😭
幾次試著撥電話給師父都打不通。天天在想, 天天心裡祈求,師父幫我。
在8月4日那天,感謝菩薩慈悲,感謝師父給我機會,電話的另一端不是電話錄音,而是師父的慈祥的聲音!我非常的開心,開心到一直在流眼淚,這是極度歡喜的眼淚。❤️
我非常的贊嘆師父的厲害!對於玄學、看八字非常的厲害。 他比我更瞭解我自己。
我對師父說,師父好像裝了閉路電視在我家。 師父所說的句句都對。百發百中!🎯
為師父掌聲鼓勵鼓勵!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
師父說我適合吃西餐、日本餐,什麼餐都好就是不能吃麵條。因為面不適合我的五行。師父怎麼知道😲?我真的幾乎是餐餐都是麵條!因為胃不好,所以我喜歡吃面湯。
自從我聽了師父的話,不再吃麵條,也聽了師父的話,把我20多年的長髮給剪了,還做了一些有益我五行的改變,還有通過念經。
我看到了改變! 最讓我開心的是不用吃藥,跟隨我多年的"貓"病,這兩個多月都沒出現了。😄
就連我的同事也發覺了,說好久沒聽見貓的聲音。似乎已經跑掉了!工作上也比以前順利。心情也比以前平靜了好多💖
真的非常非常感恩師父❤️🙏🏻玳瑚師父988波道給我機會和力量向善向上。❤️
師父真的很棒!真的好厲害!💕👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
南無阿彌陀佛🙏🏻

I'm very grateful for Bodhisattva's Great Compassion for playing the role of a middleman. Through my Elder Sister, I got to know Master Dai Hu. My Sis encouraged me to look at Master Dai Hu's Facebook’s posts and told me that I should try to make a call to Master Dai Hu.
When I first saw Master Dai Hu's Facebook video, my first impression of Master Dai Hu was, he was so young and handsome-looking. I was thinking in the back of my mind, what great power will he have, for him being so young?
Gradually, after watching many Master Dai Hu's videos, my craving to want to look for Master Dai Hu's help grew greater. I wish that he could help me.
For the past 15 years, I developed gastric issue due to the nature of my work. I had sought help from many doctors but they couldn't seem to cure me. There was literally no cure to my condition. My stomach often involuntary made cat meowing sounds. It wasn't a joke. Even my doctors was puzzled by my sounds. But no treatment and medication could totally cured it. I often laugh and tell people that I swallow a cat alive. And this "cat" is living inside me. The involuntary sounds I made can seem like a small kitten looking for food from its mother. Sometime, it will sound like angry big cats going to engage into a fight. I often got teased by my colleagues. They even gave me a nickname "Kitty".
Things started to get worse this year, after I got transferred to a new department. Although I had explained to my "cat" issue to my new manager, she didn't seem to empathise with my condition. She would frown whenever she heard my meowing sounds. I felt so alien.
In the beginning of this year, there was an incident that happened, I was scolded by a senior for the sound I made. I felt so sad that I cried so bad. Both my eyes swelled until I couldn't even open them the next day. The stress from work and worsening health condition put me on the verge of depression. I was so angry, negative and frustrated with myself. I would often think of taking a knife to cut open my stomach to take that "cat" out of my body. Even till now, whenever I think of the scolding incident that happened, my eyes will well with tears.
After failing to call through Master Dai Hu a couple of times . I pray daily, prayed that one day Master Dai Hu will answer my call for help.
I want to thank Bodhisattva & Master Dai Hu for my wish comes true. On 4th August, the phone call didn't end in voicemail. It was Master Dai Hu's calming voice coming from the other end of the phone. I was so rejoiced! Tears of happiness kept flowing down my cheeks during my conversation with Master Dai Hu.
I am very impressed by the great power of Master Dai Hu. His accuracy in Chinese Metaphysics and Bazi is more than superb! He knows more about me than I know myself. I laughed telling Master Dai Hu, he must have installed CCTV at every corner of my house. Whatever he said, was so right! He deserves more than a round of applause 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Master Dai Hu told me that I'm suitable to eat any types of food, for example western food, Japanese food. All types of food except noodles. Noodles doesn't suit my five elements. I didn't even tell him that due to my stomach issue, I consumed noodle soup almost daily, as it is warm and light to my problematic stomach.
Ever since I adhered to Master Dai Hu's advice, I had stopped eating noodle, cut away my 20+years of long hair and did some changes that suited my five elements, and began reciting the name of Bodhisattva.
I saw changes! Without taking any medication, the "Cat" that lives within me seem to vanish! For more than 2 months! Even my colleagues notice. They said they had not heard my cat cries. I finally behaves normal, Good normal. My work is smoother. My mood seems calmer, peaceful. Life is more positive. I'm really happy. ❤️😇
I'm really very grateful for Master Dai Hu. ❤️
Thank you Master Dai Hu for creating Master Dai Hu Channel 988; for giving me a chance to learn.

THE TEA SESSION I FIRST MET MASTER DAI HU (English version below)
文/何月玲 女士 Written by: Mdm Carine Ho
玳瑚師父,我非常感激您,真的無法用語言來表達我心中的感恩。謝謝您慈悲允許我參與您的茶會。
我還記得第一次在2016年12月11日與玳瑚師父見面。那是一個一健康為主的茶會,而當天我的鼻竇炎又犯了。我自幼時就被此病折磨,直到我遇見玳瑚恩師那天。
無奈那天,我必須戴著口罩去參加師父的茶會。師父看了我的八字某一部份後,便指點我哪一些熱飲最適合我飲用。我也聽取了師父的話,不要喝茶。
.
[近卅年的鼻竇炎,玳瑚師父居然沒用藥物也能醫好!]
日子一天一天過去,在我不知不覺中,我的鼻竇炎有了巨大的改善。我和師父的緣份並沒有在第一次的見面就終止。我第三次參加他的活動,便是今年2017年大年初三的新春餐會。師父是位非常仔細,及時時關懷他人的師父。他問候我的狀況,那我也很高興的回覆他,說我的鼻竇炎已經大大改善了,多虧他的指點。這真的太神奇了!我很清楚的記得,我和師父第一次在茶會見面時,師父已說,每見師父一次,我的病狀就會改善,直到痊癒。現在就告訴大家真相:果真如此!我這期間根本沒有服藥,整個人現在也感覺好很多了。
我覺得自己很幸運,很幸福。我珍惜每一次能夠參與師父茶會和餐會的機會。和師父相聚的時間,總是充滿勵志的正能量,也會獲得師父賜予我們的金玉良言。有重要的一點要注意:師父常常叮嚀我們一定不能夠殺生。我們要時時自審,懺悔過錯,改過遷善,多多行善積德。
我真心想與大家分享我這很棒的經驗。期盼你也都有緣能見到玳瑚師父。🙏 師父,感谢您的教导,我會多加努力學習和閱讀您的文章。❤

I felt so grateful and could not express more to thank you, Master Dai Hu, for the kindness you shown in giving me these golden opportunities to attend your tea sessions.
I could recalled my first meet up session with Master Dai Hu was on 11 December 2016. It was a health-themed tea session. That day I was down with my sinus once again and this issue has been troubling me since a very young age. That is, till I met Shifu whom I remain grateful to.
Sadly, I had to wear a mask to attend the tea session with Shifu on that day. Shifu did go through some areas of my Bazi and he gave me a valuable advice on the type of hot drink, which suits me best. I heeded his advice not to drink tea.
.
30 YEARS OF SINUS, & MASTER DAI HU HEALED IT WITHOUT USING MEDICATION
As the days passed, without realizing it, my sinus problem has improved tremendously. My affinity with Shifu did not end at my 1st tea session. The third session I attended was the CNY Prosperity Dinner Session held by Shifu on 30 January 2017. Shifu is a very detailed and caring Master. He asked about my sinus problem and I was happy to tell him that my health recovered so much, after following his advice. It was amazing! I vividly recalled what Shifu told me during my 1st tea session with him, that every time I see Shifu, my sinusitis condition will gradually improve and recover. Here's the truth unveiled: yes indeed! I did not take any medication and I felt so much better now.
I felt so blessed and fortunate. I do treasure each tea/dinner session. The quality time spent with Shifu is always positive and encouraging, with good advice given. One important point to note: Shifu will always cautiously remind us: No Killing. Admit your wrong and mend it right. Repent by doing lots of good deeds to gain more merits.
I would truly want to share these great experiences with everyone. May you have the affinity with Shifu one day. 🙏Shifu, thank you so much for your teaching. I will put in more effort to learn and read your articles. ❤
