当你学佛之后,你会慢慢改变自己很多的劣根性和不好的习惯;

你会忘记很多的仇恨; 你会看到每个人都很可爱;

身体不会生恶病,家庭好、身体好,工作好、孩子好,一切都会慢慢转好的时候,心就会平,意就会安;

有一天当你要离开这个世界进入 另一个世界的时候,不会被浑身的伤痛折磨；

[emoji255][台长对观世音菩萨掌管人间的开示］

Wenda20160205 01:17:28 台长对观世音菩萨掌管人间的开示

男听众：师父在节目中说，现在的天时是观世音菩萨在掌管人间，请问这是个什么概念？是不是现在人间的全部是观世音菩萨在关照着？请师父开示一下。

台长答：掌管人间，其实就是说天上、地下、人间……表面上看起来人间是有人在管理，那么冥冥当中是不是有天和地的助缘呢？“天时、地利、人和”嘛。所以这个东西就是说，现在观世音菩萨正好轮到天时，末法时期，是由观世音菩萨在掌管，帮助人间救苦救难，全部都是人间的一些琐事，为什么求观世音菩萨连小的事情都求得灵呢？因为是观世音菩萨在管的。有很多大菩萨，他不管，所以你就是求了他，他也是通过很多渠道，就是通过你修心，另外达到一定的境界之后，他才能帮到你。而观世音菩萨他正好是管的，所以你不管求他什么，都能求到，明白了吗？（哦，人间是佛菩萨轮流来掌管的，这个天时正好是观世音菩萨掌管我们，是这样理解吗？）是啊，在佛经上也讲，阿弥陀佛，接下来就是观世音菩萨掌管西方极乐世界（明白了）你去查查佛经，佛经上都有记载，早就有记载了（那师父，是不是玉皇大帝就是协助观世音菩萨在处理一些事物？）玉皇大帝他是管天界的，顺便就是管人道、人界，他是这样的。所以有些事情表面上看起来是谁在管，实际上都有牵连的。我就问你一句话，如果一个怕老婆的男人，他在外面单位里管事，有时候他太太就能在家里管住他公司里的事情（是的）呵呵……（谢谢师父慈悲开示！） — with Teresa Lai.

《【拜太岁】2016猴年值年太岁：管仲大将军》

太岁是当值菩萨，每年的当值菩萨。这个菩萨来了：当值菩萨，...其实这个菩萨下面还有很多很多的小菩萨，...（太岁菩萨在天上的果位也很高吧，是这样吗?）也是护法神，他是每年派一个过来。所以你去看，只要人家说某某太岁菩萨一个形象出来，那就不是真实的，因为太岁菩萨每年换的...你看太岁菩萨其实他是一个职位，并不是一个人，明白吗？就像一个会长，会长每年要换的，你不能说把某一个会长照片挂出来，他永远是这个会长，不是的。永远是这个太岁菩萨，不是的，每年换的。

丙申太岁管仲春秋时降生于齐国颖上，名管夷吾，亦名管敬仲，字仲。

管仲幼年时家庭贫穷，与鲍叔牙是好朋友。鲍叔牙一直对他非常好。管仲曾经三次任职三次都被国君免职，但是鲍叔牙并不以为管仲不是人才。管仲曾经三次参加打仗三次都从战场上跑掉，鲍叔牙并不以为管仲怕死，临阵脱逃。管仲曾经被关进监狱受过屈辱，鲍叔牙并不以有这样的朋友而丢脸，并且向齐桓公推荐管仲，使管仲得以在齐国担任宰相的职位。管仲根据齐国地处滨海的自然条件，提出治理国家一定要让百姓定居，管理人才要不断选拔，制订法律要采用合适的条文，掌握军队要同内政结合起来，收取赋税要区分田地的肥沃和贫瘠而分别征收。积累国家的财富，使国家强大，军力增强，与百姓同爱好、共呼吸。对外则以礼相待，用德行来招抚远方的国家，尊敬他国国君，抵御蛮夷入侵，团结各方诸侯。

于是，齐国就强大起来，成为诸侯中的霸主。桓公四十一年（前645年），管仲仙逝。但是，齐国按照管仲制订的方略治国，因此齐国在春秋时期比其他国诸侯要强盛。管仲的子孙在齐国也一直享受官禄，受封达十余年。管仲著有《管子》，其中记载有他治国理身的思想。

不二法门

观世音菩萨真正的全称要这样念：

“南无大慈大悲救苦救难广大灵感观世音菩萨”

?当你们遇到灾难的时候，只要念“观世音菩萨救救我”，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。

?观世音菩萨是救苦救难的代表。

释迦牟尼佛在世的时候，让众生求观世音菩萨。释迦牟尼佛说：观世音菩萨，于过去无量劫中，早已究竟成佛。观世音菩萨成佛在释迦牟尼佛之前，由于观世音菩萨的大悲愿力，为了成就一切众生的道业，仍然示现为菩萨。观世音菩萨的慈悲心是众佛菩萨的代表和榜样。每位菩萨成道，都有不同的愿力，比如，大悲-观世音菩萨，大智-文殊菩萨，大行普贤菩萨，大愿-地藏王菩萨。

菩萨都具有圆融的智慧，但每位菩萨的愿力不同，

千万不可以拿菩萨相互比较，切记！

?如果你明白的道理多，而不是真正佛菩萨的真理，是人间的道理，这就像你这个心里面倒满了水，倒满了水之后，就无法再加进水了，也就是你不能接受更多更好的真理了。

?你常去关心人家，人家就会关心你，你常去慈悲人家，就有菩萨慈悲你。

?关心别人就是关心自己，慈悲人家就是慈悲自己。

Inspirational Stories 073 The Inspirational Effect of Making a Vow to be a Vegetarian

2014-12-06
Deepest gratitude to the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva!

First of all, I would like to repent to the Guan Yin Bodhisattva and to Master Lu for my ignorance when I was a child as I used to kill a lot of small animals.

I would like to share with everyone a delightful change that happened to me after I made a vow to be a vegetarian.

Before I started practicing Buddhism, a lot of lumps developed on the upper half of my arm. They looked like rashes and they were sickening to look at. Moreover, my arms were very strong. My husband joked that my arms were stronger than his, even if he played basketball all the time. At the time, I only wore long-sleeved tops. When I was pregnant, I did not buy any maternity dresses as they were mostly sleeveless. I also underwent massage therapy which helped as the lumps became less obvious but this only lasted for a few days which annoyed me quite a bit.

After I started to practice the Guan Yin Citta Dharma Door and recited scriptures, my arms became tinner and many of the lumps disappeared. For some time now, I have increased the number of times I recite the Pure Land Rebirth Dharani. After I made a vow to become a vegetarian, the lumps gradually turned into scabs and flaked off my skin. Now there are only a few lumps left and I have the confidence to wear short-sleeved shirts.

For one and a half years, I was not determined enough to be a complete vegetarian – I continued to eat the vegetables from meat dishes. (Note: a complete vegetarian abstains from anything that touches meat or meat products) Now I understand the effects of making a vow to be a vegetarian in front of the Guan Yin Bodhisattva. I found the experience so powerful and inspiring as my skin condition was cured within such a short period of time. This is the reason why Master Lu always kindly suggests to us to make a vow to become a vegetarian.

Deepest gratitude to the merciful Guan Yin Bodhisattva and to Master Lu. As a result of our Buddhist practice, we continually experience positive changes in our lives.

Regards.

THE BENEFITS OF RECITING CHI FO MIEH TSUI CHEN YAN IMMEDIATELY WHEN A WRONG IS COMMITTED Shouhua 20160129 18:21

Female Listener: Master, When a bad thought crossed our mind or when we said a wrong word if we recite the Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan immediately; will this eliminate the karma totally? Can we recite some Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen every evening before retiring to bed to eliminate the whole day’s wrong doings from our actions, thoughts and words?

Master Lu: It is not possible to eliminate totally by reciting Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan. However, if a wrong has just been committed, it can be resolved by reciting some Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan and admitting your wrong doing so as to freeze this karmic seed. But you will still require reciting Li Fo Da Chan Hui Wen because reciting Chi Fo Mieh Tsui Chen Yan will only freeze the karmic seeds from growing bigger. Do you understand? (Oh, I understand now. Because every day I felt my actions, words and thoughts…it is not possible not to commit any wrong). Li Fo Da Chan Hui Wen, whatever wrong you have committed, recite Li Fo Da Chan Hui Wen. (Okay. Deepest gratitude to you, Master)

078 Regarding making Great Vows and fulfilling Great Vows

Q078: Respected Master Lu, can you please explain the difference between making Great Vows and fulfilling Great Vows? What should we do?
• Performing recitations, making Great Vows, performing Life Liberation are the three Dharma Gems given by the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva. We must use them appropriately.
The power of Great Vows is very important for every Buddhist cultivator.
• Making Great Vows involves you presenting yourself in front of Guan Yin
Bodhisattva and reciting the following prayer in your mind or quietly,
“May the Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guan Yin Bodhisattva protect and bless me, <your full name>, and perform miracles, help me
to resolve my <confusions, problems, disasters,misfortunes, etc>, and I will be vegetarian on the 1stand 15th of the lunar month for the rest of my life;
2. not eat live creatures for the rest of my life;
3. not perform the act of killing for the rest of my life;
4. persistently perform good deeds every day;
5. offer gold plating for statues of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas;
6. cross over <number of> people, and help them to be liberated from the sea of suffering within <amount of time>;
7. perform virtuous deeds, make donations to print <number of>
............

【同修在节目里说非常希望台长能到他梦中来？】

台长：你如果做了一件很大的好事之后，你可以叫台长在梦里点你一下。你看看台长会不会到！这法身厉害得不得了。不过你要做件大好事、或者帮了人家、你特别精进，你才能讲，否则你连这点功德都没有，根本不会来。你平平淡淡在家里念念经、烧烧香，半死不活的，不出去度人，只管自己门前雪，这种东西，师父肯定不来的。师父法身能到他梦中来的人都是肯帮助别人的人。

要嘛他苦得不得了，要嘛他精进得不得了。
