CAN I RECITE MANTRAS FOR FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE OF A DIFFERENT RELIGION?

Listener : Master, this Dharma friend has been cultivating Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door for a few years. Previously, his son was a free thinker, somehow now he believes in another religion and he objects and deters his father from practising. He is deeply troubled by this. He wonders if he can recite Heart Sutra or Little House for his son.

Master : In fact, the problem lies with him. At the time when a child has yet to have any religion, he should be nurtured to have faith in a religion. This is of utmost importance and this is where he has failed. Now his son has already held faith in a religion and as it is different from his religion, naturally trouble will arise. (That’s right) Now all he can do is to try praying to Guan Yin Bodhisattva. Do you understand? Pray for wisdom, and see if his son has stronger affinity with other religions or Buddhism. (So, reciting Heart Sutra for him is alright?) Yes, that’s alright to do. (Alright, thank you Master). I have a lot of good friends in Australia who are Westerners. They always pray for my well-being in their churches too. It is the same with us, though others’ religion may not be the same, when we recite Great Compassion Mantra and Heart Sutra to pray for their well-beings there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. (I understand, Master. Gratitude to you, Master).

[千万不能在人间闷闷不乐过一天]
懂得佛法的人，千万不能在人间闷闷不乐过一天，如果你今天从早上到晚上，一直闷闷不乐，你一天的智慧全部跑光。因为智慧和你的烦恼不会同时存在。烦恼多，就是没有智慧，有智慧的人，就是没有烦恼，所以，当你一天闷闷不乐，带着满脸的惆怅、烦恼的时候，实际上你就迷失了你这一天所应该得到的智慧。

Say thank you to people who hurt us

_________

【对于伤害我们的人，应该谢谢他，因为报掉了，就结束了】

在因果面前,一切善缘和恶缘的造就者都是我们自己。人家今天怎会伤害你？是你自己伤害了别人,恨人家干嘛?

别人现在来伤我,已经用他的身体、嘴巴来报应你了，应该谢谢他,报掉了就结束了,如果不报掉会成为更大的灾祸。

台长的故事
About Master Lu Junhong

卢台长本来有非常富裕舒适的家庭生活，家境优越，但台长为了把因果的真相告诉更多的人，为了救更多的人学佛，卢台长把别墅卖了，办了东方华语电台来弘法。
Master Lu used to live a very prosperous life. However, to help more people learn Buddhism and understand the Law of Cause and Effect, he sold his house and used the money to start his own radio station— the Australia Oriental Radio.
因为澳洲的人工很贵，台长办电台的初期，没有人帮忙，连布电线都是亲自做，后来有几个人看到台长这么辛苦， 就提出来帮忙。
At the early stage, Master Lu had no helper because the labour costs were very high in Australia. Master Lu had to do everything on his own; he even wrapped the electronic wire by himself. Later on, after seeing Master Lu working so hard, several people decided to help him out.
台长一家人住的房子只有几十个平方，两房，还不如我们很多同修家里的房子大。 因为长期给人看图腾，很多灵性上了台长的身，这些灵性对台长的肉体五脏六腑造成很大的破坏，所以台长很多东西吃不下，平时就吃些简单的饮食，一些素菜面条之类的。
Master Lu and his family live in a two-bedroom unit, which is smaller than a hundred square metres. Many of us have a living place much bigger than Master Lu’s.
Master Lu has been using his spiritual power to help people for decades, but this has a great impact on his health: Many spirits occupy Master Lu’s body and cause serious damage to his organs. As a result, Master Lu has little appetite and only eats very simple food such as vegetables and noodles.

你是否看到台长瘦了，一次又一次？
Do you notice that Master Lu has lost a lot of weight?

你是否注意到台长几年如一日的黑西装？
Do you notice that Master Lu wears the same type of black suit every day?

你是否听到同修讲述台长的鞋子穿到漏水？
Have you ever heard that Master Lu’s shoes are leaking?
你是否听说过当年台长卖掉别墅创建电台？
Have you ever heard that Master Lu sold his house to start his own radio station?

你是否知道台长的所有收入都用在了弘法上？
Do you know that Master Lu spend all his income on promoting Buddhism?

你是否知道台长不肯让我们法国同修出法会场地费？
Do you know that Master Lu declines the offer from his followers in France to pay for the venue for his dharma talk?

你是否还知道，台长不接受我们一丝一毫的供养？... ...
Do you also notice that Master Lu never accept any offerings from us?

台长曾说：
Master Lu once said,
我什么都不要，我就要你们好！我要你们现在就好！
“I ask nothing of you. I only want you to live a better life! I want your life to be better now!”

要度人啊！要度人啊！。。。你只要他念几个月的经有什么用啊！！
“Help more people…We need to help more people by encouraging them to practice Buddhism throughout their lives, not just to recite Buddhist scriptures for a few months!”

我们再怎么发心弘法度人，也报答不了如海的佛恩，菩萨恩，台长的恩德。每次想到台长那么辛苦，我都不禁流泪，难道我还不要好好念经吗？我们唯有做好观世音菩萨的千手千眼，才对得起台长，想想台长从开始到现在，那份艰辛，可想而知，我们吃点苦，受点委屈又算得了什么。
No matter how hard we try to propagate Buddhism, we will never be able to repay the kindness of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Master Lu. I couldn’t help crying whenever I think about Master Lu. There is no reason for me not to recite scriptures and practice Buddhism diligently. Only by becoming one of the thousand arms and thousand eyes of Guan Yin Bodhisattva and introducing Buddhism to more people can we live up to Master Lu’s expectations. All the efforts that we’ve made and the disrespect we’ve experienced are in no way

[Curiousparty]

[From the Editor] A caller with the deepest gratitude towards the Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master shared some positive feedback during the “Say it as you Wish” radio program which aired on 5th April 2013. She has recovered from liver disease and has stopped experiencing painful headaches since she started practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. Also, her daughter’s body odours were eliminated after she started performing recitations. There are countless efficacious stories out there and everyone goes on a different journey when they follow the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. Everyone will improve as long as he/she cultivates with the most sincerity. It is you who will benefit the most from the realisation of your transformation and Dharma Bliss.

Caller: I am so grateful and appreciative towards the Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master! Master, I have now fully recovered from liver disease. Also, when I used to get headaches, it was painful all the time but now the symptoms have improved. I have not experienced this type of headache since I started practicing the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door a year ago.

Master Lu: So, let me tell you, at the end of the day it was only you and not others, that has benefited from the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door.

Caller: Yes, yes! Also, my daughter had excessively sweaty underarms. However, since she started practising the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, her body odours have been eliminated, even after doing exercise.

Master Lu: The problem was due to her karmic obstacles.

Caller: Oh~~ I am so happy now!

【念经真的有窍门的 】 既要有声，又要听不见。既要念出自己的心声，声音又不能大。念经最好是嘴巴动，声音一点点，这种念法实际上是最好的。

——卢台长

■很多人嘴巴里念佛，心里存妄念，这是非常不好的。因为你嘴巴念佛的时候，《龙天护法》都知道。如果你脑子里想着不干净的事情，那你非但没有把经念好，而且会伤到你自己。


— 卢台长《顿悟虚空，相应学佛》

--------------------------------------
因为平时念经加上称圣号，实际上相互大感应，所以当你们遇到灾难的时候，来不及念大经，只念圣号也可以。

要从内心发出“「南无大慈大悲观世音菩萨，求观世音菩萨救救我，救救我……」”。如果实在着急就直接叫“「观世音菩萨，观世音菩萨……」”。

因为观世音菩萨悲心深切，观世音菩萨救人的心很急切，你们只要一念观世音菩萨的圣号，观世音菩萨马上就有感应。

你们一定要记住，只要念观世音菩萨救救我，菩萨就会来救你的，因为《观世音菩萨》是[闻声救苦]，《观世音菩萨》是[有求必应]的，所以，观世音菩萨与苦难的众生宿愿深故，也许你在前几世就拜过观世音菩萨，求过观世音菩萨。你们与观世音菩萨的缘分早已连在一起了，因此你们一求就会灵。

Inspirational Stories 067 How the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door has tremendously changed my life and my family

2014-11-24


Deepest gratitude to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva and to Master Lu! I am very fortunate to be able to share with others about how the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door has tremendously changed my life and my family.

The house my husband and I lived in was given to us by my father-in-law. Four years later, we had a girl and a boy. My son was very quiet and he hardly spoke so we assumed he was an obedient child. When he first started school, his grades were average but they decreased tremendously year after year. I received complaints from his teachers, headmistress and tutors and he even got scolded for being rude when he did not answer his teachers. He felt pressured and life was not happy for him. Until he was 12 years old, he had problems expressing himself to his teachers and us.

At the beginning of our marriage, life was hard for our family as my husband’s job was not doing too well and therefore, I started to work very hard to keep our family going. I had to pay for the household expenses, food, tuitions, babysitters for the children and etc. Moreover, I had to make payments to my in-laws. When my husband’s business started to grow, it was a stressful period for me. He spent his money on overseas holidays and business trips with his friends. He began to forget that he had a family. He was a changed man and his words became hurtful to me. He only listened to his group of wild friends. Furthermore, he was unfaithful – he cheated and lied to me.

In addition to this, my in-laws pressured me, said hurtful words and made me do the chores. Their family was so big and I had to entertain them and make them feel comfortable when they came home for festive celebrations. However, they always complained about the food and the living arrangement. Everything I did was never right. They made remarks that I deserved to do all the work since I was staying at their house for free. To not create any further trouble, I kept everything to myself. No one defended me. My husband was too busy entertaining his friends and since I wanted to create a perfect home environment for my children, they were also unaware of the problem.

To overcome my stress, I started to search for inner peace with the help of Buddhism books. It helped but all my problems were still unsolved. From time to time, I confronted my husband about his actions but he always denied them. Thus, I could only confide in my friends and move on.

One day, one of my friends approached me with Master Lu’s books. She saw and felt how desperate I was and encouraged me to start practicing Buddhism by reciting sutras and mantras. My heart was heavy and I could not read the Chinese characters as I was English and Malay educated. My friend continually motivated and encouraged me. She thought that it was the only way for me to solve my problems without quarrelling with my family members. I guess that was the only way I could find comfort.

It took me a while to learn the scriptures. I started learning the Great Compassion Mantra with the help of the audio version on YouTube. It took me more than a month to learn since I was busy working, doing chores, managing the children and helping my husband with his paperwork. Later, I added the Heart Sutra and continued adding more scriptures until I learnt and memorised all the prayers for daily recitations. I began to understand that all doings were due to the karmas of my past life. In between recitations, I encountered several dreams. I even dreamt of a child that I had miscarried. I recited more than 60 Little Houses for the miscarried and aborted child. Furthermore, as I continued to practice the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door, my son began to speak, laugh loudly and even became humorous. Slowly, he began to mature, became more obedient and even started to help around the house. Asking him to do his school work became easier and we saw improvements in his academic performance after adopting the ‘Triple Gems’ – making vows, performing recitations and life liberations. Even though his situation had greatly improved, I continued to recite Little Houses for him.

I continued to confess my wrongdoings to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva and continued to recite the 88 Great Buddhas Repentance daily. Amazingly, the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva helped me to confront my husband when I caught him being unfaithful. I was in the midst of moving out with my children. I just could not bear it any longer. He confessed and promised to stop all his wrongdoings and provide us with a new home. I recited more Mantras to Unite Karmic Knots for my husband and in-laws and it worked as they now speak to me in a more respectable manner.

Furthermore, things have improved. I started to perform life liberations and also encouraged my children to learn and practice the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door. I think the most important achievement is to let people out there know that if there is a ‘will’, there is always a ‘way’.

I am so thankful to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva and Master Lu for helping me with my journey. Thank you to all my Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door brothers and sisters that are willing to help and share. Without all the enlightment from the Bodhisattvas, I would probably still be struggling today. I will sincerely help by promoting the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door and I am determined that I will be one of the thousand arms and thousand eyes of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva.

Wenda20150705A 02:00 念心經可以變聰明

女聽眾：您說過心經可以幫助人家開智慧，還有去除煩惱。如果每天堅持念，生出來不聰明的人也可以變成一個聰明人嗎？

台長答：那當然了，心經去煩惱、開智慧的！其實人生出來的時候都不是很聰明的，你說哪一個人生出來就很聰明的？都是慢慢學了變聰明的。有些人天生智商不是太好，靠菩薩不斷地給他加持，他智商也會好起來的（明白）

[Curiousparty]

自己不能做的事情，不要去做；不该说的话，不要去说；如果你控制不住自己的，你就不要跟自然界，不要跟天意去斗啊，你斗不过的。你只有学圣人，你才能超脱他，你才能离开他。我们不要在人道里跟人一样来受，而且我们要把这个境界超脱，我们已经到了菩萨的境界，我们不跟人斗了，那你才真正离开了人间的烦恼道。

马来西亚柔佛玄艺综述万人现场解答会
2015年8月22日【精彩开示部分摘录】

1. 人要看到明天，不能总想到今天。能感受到明天的人活在希望当中，
才不会在绝望中生存。我们要接受这个世界的不圆满，我们才得到心灵的圆满和富有。


2. 这个世界不是一个人的，是众生的。明白怎么样去帮助别人的人，
就是学佛中的开悟之人。

3. 对别人尊敬就是庄严自己。

4. 烦恼是你对人间事物的错误理解造成的。

5. 学佛人远离痛苦，想开想明白，一切都是缘分。

6. 一个真心学佛的人，不能每天有烦恼，有烦恼就是有漏。

7. 台长告诉你们一个方法，你们自己就知道有没有运气。运气好的人，身体一定好。当你身体不好的时候，运气一定是走衰的。所以要保养好自己的身体。不要给自己的身体造成任何的伤害。

8. 人往往将物质看的过重，这就是很多人要钱不要命的去工作。忘记了人只有唯一的一个宝贵的财产，就是你的身体。用身体去换来物质，最后是一场空。有个老板去世了，司机娶了他老婆。司机原来以为他为老板打工，没想到老板为他打工。

9. 我们用慈悲来化解人生一切烦恼。我们要看到别人的优点，忘记别人的缺点，你的人生才会完美无缺。

10. 人一定要有愿力，才有动力。一个人没有愿力就没有动力，一个人一定要改掉身上不好的习惯，让自己的心变得善良，你有这个动力就能获得所有人的爱戴。

11. 人生无常，让你会失去一切。当人在失去的时候会很心痛，你没有想你会得到。得到越多，失去越多。欲望越少，痛苦越少。今天什么都不求不贪，你保证平平安安。

12. 要在因上找果。真正学佛的人要种善因，得善果。一个人修行最重要的就是要现在好，从现在做起，不要再等，如果你想做一个好人，你现在就要做一个好人，那么你很快就会成为一个善人。你以后再做好人，你就是一个恶人。

13. 吃点苦那是好事，不吃苦，哪来甜啊？有多少人学佛不就是碰到了艰难挫折，他才开始学佛吗？很多人吃苦了，才找到了菩萨。烦恼多了，才想到通过学佛调节好自己的心态。人间的感情、金钱、物质不要看得太重，因为这些都是会逝去的。

14. 学佛要有大目标，千斤重担也能挑。心中没有菩萨道，一棵小草压弯了腰。

15. 学佛要学会忍辱精进。一定要学会忍耐。好好念经，菩萨一定会保佑你们的。
