懺悔與明信因果

學習H.H.第三世多杰羌佛正法

懺悔與明信因果

   
   它跟著我已經有三十幾年……

    記憶中就在高中時期的某個冬天，它突然存在，讓我非常的不舒服；它生長的地方就在胯下，一個令人非常尷尬的位置，所以我決定忽視它的存在（當時年幼無知），就這樣與它「和平」共處了三十來年。
    這個它，一個凸出的肉塊，一直到了前2年，原來如小指的指甲大小的硬塊變得更大了。頓然想到健康醫學上經常提醒的：如果身體上的痣或腫瘤突然變大是「非常警訊」……，雖然內心忐忑不安，我已無法再度忽視它，心裡想著該來的還是必須面對！
    接著幾天，我連續恭聞法音，恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛 說法的《你明信因果嗎》。

    佛陀師父說法開示你明信因果嗎？這幾個字，甚至這句話，是很多人甚至一般佛弟子都沒有透徹明瞭的。很多人雖自稱學佛修行，卻經常被外緣或内緣所牽：若是事業沒有起色，或自己、親人遭惡報，就對佛法起了疑心，甚至想：不是都已經在修行學佛，而且都那麼虔誠了，怎麼還這樣？當我們有如此想法，就將功德倒掉了，是將明信因果的意念與行為分開，不是真正的明信因果。

    悟達國師因一念貪著皇帝所賜的沉香木寶座而生了人面瘡，人面瘡向悟達國師說，你曾經在過去世殺了我，每當到你殺我的時間，我就痛苦不堪，我要向你報復。但每一世都沒有辦法，直到這一世，好不容易有機會報復。悟達國師因爲明信因果，欣然接受此因果業報，將人面瘡超渡，惡業也就離開了。所以最重要的要生起正知正見並明信因果。

    南無 第三世多杰羌佛 在《極聖解脫大手印》裡［暇滿殊勝海心髓］開示的，我們在為人中有意無意傷害了無數的生命，行了種種的惡業而錯了種種的因果，必定要遭惡報的。我明白這是我的因果業緣，沒有什麼好瞋怨的，我也不能再逃避，在壇城前，我向佛陀師父及諸佛菩薩懺罪，祈求加持我與身上眾生一切平安吉祥，祈求讓我找到好醫師，祈求讓我手術順利進行，祈求讓我術後恢復良好⋯，祈求讓我再撐一陣子，等我工作安排好再進醫院開刀治療……

     當我連著幾天聞法、懺悔、迴向，我的心底很舒坦，沒有罣礙，就想照著計畫進行，手邊的工作告一段落就到醫院處理吧！

    過了幾天，剛好遇到生理期。神奇的事情發生了，已經變大成一節小指大小的肉瘤，竟然自己破了，幾乎沒有感覺，也完全不會疼痛，我心裡還一直納悶怎麼會這樣？等生理期結束後，我一檢查，那顆跟著我30年的肉瘤--它不見了，也沒傷口，就好像它從來不曾存在過！
    是真的嗎？怎麼可能？我還有一絲懷疑。
 真的！真的！是真的！千真萬確！從我少女時代困擾著我的一顆肉瘤就在我連日聞法與懺悔後不見了！

頂禮 南無第三世多杰羌佛！
感恩佛陀師父及諸佛菩薩加持！

    這篇分享是我真實不虛的親身經歷，祈願有緣眾生皆得無上殊勝因緣，得聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛 佛陀降世親説法音，得逢南無第三世多杰羌佛 所傳如來正法真正修行，福慧圓滿共證菩提！

學佛的受益 - 當家中長者面臨無常來臨的那一刻

       慚愧弟子有幸歸依南無第三世多杰羌佛，至今已有十幾年了，修行的腳步卻因世俗或身體業力的牽絆考驗而時緩時速，在此虔誠懺悔！但是慈悲的佛陀在我每逢人生大難關時，總還是不離不棄的加持﹑援助我，學佛修行的受益良多，難以數語道盡，現在僅就我的兩位至親過世之經歴來和大家分享：

       2008年家婆因為大腸癌後加中風，以至癱瘓臥床，我先生雖是家中老么，但照顧的責任幾乎大部分落在我們身上，從病發到癱瘓將近四年，先生的壓力很大，體力也已衰竭殆盡，經常陷於六神無主﹑瀕臨崩潰的狀態！一天，我鼓勵他説：“求見佛陀，好嗎？”他立刻點頭了！可是，我和先生是多麽渺小的人物，況且 佛陀師父為了眾生每天從早忙到晚，常常要到晚上才能吃午餐！我倆何德何能想拜見就能拜見得到呢？我趕緊拜託接引我的師姐協助安排，但心中不敢存太大希望，因為先生之前只是偶爾恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛法音，共修或法會從不曾參加！怎麼可能獲得特殊因緣？結果出乎意料地師兄竟然如願了！真是非常感恩佛陀的慈悲！頂禮南無第三世多杰羌佛！

       自從接受了加持之後，師兄靈智頓開，能夠頭腦清晰有條不紊的處理兄弟姐妹之間的矛盾爭執，而婆婆在往後一個月也不再痛苦哀嚎，平靜安詳的辭世！

       2010年八月，我隨著師兄搬回離開近30年的家鄉台北，和母親有了最後五年歡樂相聚的機緣，期間只要有機會便譲她恭聞南無第三世多杰羌佛說法的法音（雖然因為腔調的阻礙，慣說台語的媽媽很多聽不清楚，但她仍很專心的聽聞）。

       2015年，母親也因年老（88歳）久病而日漸衰弱，進出醫院無數回，六月中再度入院後，醫師已放棄任何治療。雖然我心中有深深的牽掛，但仍抱著祈求 南無第三世多杰羌佛加持母親的心願，隨著團隊如期赴美參加佛事活動。傳法當天，和與會的上千位信眾們淨心盤坐等待之時，我ㄧ直默唸佛號祈求加持在台的母親；忽然之間，頭頂感受到一股溫暖的氣流灌注下來，這是佛力加被，我當下感動得痛哭失聲，心裡明白佛陀已接收到我的祈求！

       因為前一晚已收到母親病危的訊息，會後將祈請加持名字﹑地點託請淑旦珠瑪仁波切呈交後，當晚我即先行返台。看了母親的情況，最後遵從母親的願望，在她還有氣息的時候送回到老家，於彌留三天期間，又譲她恭聞了數盤南無第三世多杰羌佛說法法音後，母親終於安祥逝世。在全家人持續不斷的唸佛聲中，看到殊勝的彩色光環繞著母親的大體，而後彩光從她的頭部緩緩而升！連初識來助念的團長都讚嘆母親四週的磁場很不一樣喔！

       多麽慶幸能夠歸依在羌佛座下學佛修行！譲我和同修能夠有智慧而沉著不亂的處理長輩們的無常後事，且隨時懷著菩提悲心看待一切眾生和事物，譲我們的生活過得更加幸福美滿了！

       誠摯感恩南無第三世多杰羌佛！

慚愧行人解道 陳洪慧真稽首頂禮

走進苦，走進無常

　　

　　

心是一塊田，一切的善業種子、菩提種子都要在這裡播撒，發芽，生長。但

　　心若是板結的硬土，種子種不下去，即便種下也極易腐爛，善業流於表面，　　

　　修行豈不枉然？──拉珍聖德

　　聖誕節，我們在大眾安養院……
　　學佛的師兄師姐覺得學佛沒有落實於生活是一種空洞的修行，我們相約一起走出佛堂。母親也來了。
　　我們必須善業築壁，才能使黑業遠離。但是善業的種子要萌芽，要生長，就要有一顆柔軟的心，這樣才能容納，才能接受。反之，一顆硬邦邦的心，就如同田裡全是板結的硬土，這樣善業的種子難播，縱使種了，淺根使然，也長不好。
　　學佛重悲心，無緣大慈，同體大悲，慈悲的心應該無分對象，視六道眾生為親人。但我們與親人相近相親，對親人的苦樂之受，相對也敏感許多。至於說到苦與樂，人生固然有很多樂事可尋，但細究下來，終究苦多樂少。而再怎麼快意的樂受，終究也要無常。向之所欣，俯仰之間，已為陳跡，又是無常。
　　死生亦大矣！
　　外婆在去年離世，這使我份外感觸。一方面，她是童年相伴的一個重要回憶；一方面自己年歲漸長，親人一個個走了，頓時無常感強盛，人世間的種種留戀，就如同夢一般，終有夢醒的時刻。
　　外婆患的是輕微失智癥狀。自從她一跌，臥病在床後，便再也沒起來過。母親、舅舅費了不少心思在食物及醫藥上，所費不貲，應是減輕了她很多痛苦，但她仍然一天天瘦了。
　　九十多歲的人了，意識時有時無的。意識清醒的時候，還能跟我們這些兒孫聊上幾句昔日艱困的歲月，大概是人生遇上這樣的磨練，所以身子一度維持很硬朗。但隨著意識終究慢慢的淡化、模糊，吃進去的少了，逐漸地沒了肉的皮，緊緊地粘在骨頭上，只剩下一層乾朽。
　　成住壞，滅，終究是必來的結果！
　　床褥儘量維持乾爽，空氣清淨機幾乎廿四小時不歇，每天固定的換洗、翻身、表現在母親臉上是吃力的神情，但動作一直很仔細輕柔。外婆臉色有些漠然，眼神空洞而失焦地望著前方。每天例行的工作重覆著，不這麼做，褥瘡很快會找上她。但即使如此，褥榻在人不經意時，還是間歇地傳來一陣味道，刺人口鼻。
　　外婆的能力很強，據她自己的說法：吾少也賤；年輕時插秧、農稼、造紙……什麼雜事、農事都得做，所幸諸事一學上手，效率極高。她嫁來的時候，是後母，扣掉外公前面生的兩個子女以外，自己倒也爭氣，一口氣，七個子女。熬、熬、熬，幾十個年頭過去了，孩子大了，各自嫁娶，人生倒也無憂。
　　一朝春盡紅顏老，病了，垂死之身，能幹的身影退去，一向不願麻煩的人，變成很麻煩的人，這點很考驗她的幾個子女。

　　板結的土地長不出好苗，不被淚水浸泡的心，養不出菩提的莊稼。生硬粗糙　

　　的心靈，無視疾苦辛酸的心靈，永遠走不進佛菩薩的隊伍，因為宇宙中所有

　　的佛菩薩，都是由大悲之心凝聚而成。──拉珍聖德

　　母親沒有很深厚的佛學素養，不善言辭，卻是照顧外婆一個很重要的人物。她一口一口撮餵著外婆，不急不徐地吹去飯菜的熱氣，靜靜拭去外婆嘴上流下的湯汁。看著這些動作，我總覺得她把溫厚與慈悲落實地很好。學佛修行，言語之於她，其實沒那麼重要，眾多的心地法門、佛學理論，對她來說是無感。南無第三世多杰羌佛說法的「遷意行持」才是關鍵。照護外婆，正是她一點一滴以行持轉換自己心靈的樞紐。

　　外婆有時對自己的久病感到憤怒與懊悔，她有些想尋求死亡的感覺，可是她無能為力。病老死，是因果使然，我們面對它時，卻始終是一個無助者。而無常的威脅，時時都在。
　　外婆走了，滅是必然……
　　這次，我和母親在安養院幫長者精油按摩。放眼一望，院內十來位需要照護的長者，一半以上都坐著輪椅，而這一半以上的人，又有極大比例的人，身上都插著鼻管。健康、平安這些概念，離這些人好遠好遠。
　　簡單的問候完，大伙一同為他們按摩，母親在一個女性長者跟前溫溫柔柔地撫慰，如同過去照顧外婆一樣，對她來說，這個長者是另一個母親吧。

　　你若真了徹這些苦，你從心裡自然拿出來的，是調和，是撫慰，是關懷，是

　　真心，是平和，是尊重，是喜悅，是慚愧，是感激，是放低自己，是不執著，

　　是自然而然的捨棄，是自然的善，是自然的慈，是自然的悲心，是真實的菩

　　提──拉珍聖德。

　　落下幾滴精油，我開始揉捏眼前插著鼻管，一手蜷曲，衣衫老舊，翻出陣陣味道的這位長者，很多念頭剎那間掠過腦海。走出了佛堂，苦就紮紮實實地落在我們眼前，學佛人對苦豈能視若無睹？何況這些苦是如此的真實，這不是一句簡單的佛號可以解決的。唯有從心裡掏出真真正正的菩提心，真正展現慈悲喜捨，低下頭去，與苦同行，才是真本事，硬道理！

　　學佛修行，得從學佛的思想、言語、行為入手，觀音菩薩有多慈悲，我們的思想、言語、行為也要有多慈悲，這樣才是真正的學佛修行，但說來簡單，實行起來，真是大事。

　　鐘就在牆面上，錶就在手上，張望的過程暴露了行善是一種虛應。我希望自己能柔軟而發自內心地面對他的老病；我希望自己不要空洞發願，而是實際做到撫慰、關懷、真心、和平、尊重；我希望這一刻的我能夠是放低著自己，純乎一心的發出菩提之心；我希望自己心田上的土不再板滯僵硬；我希望自己做這些事的背後一無所求，無貪……

　　離開了安養院。做為一個行人，坐在榻上用功，閉目修心；進入寺廟誦經拜讖，禮敬菩薩；讀經識理，深入經藏，這些都是學佛過程中很重要的功課。但「佛法在世間，不離世間覺」還響在耳裡。生活裡，觸境牽心，無常處處，一味榻上用功、誦經識理，較諸真正在日常萬用之中落實佛陀教誡，是否後者更是要緊？
　　我想到H.H.第三世多杰羌佛為眾生代擔罪業，短短三個月，體力大減，現衰竭老相，徹底體現頂聖《解脫大手印》中：「眾生的造業罪過由我承擔，我種的善業功德全給你們」的宏願。而一向大悲的觀世音菩薩看到眾生的苦難，視眾生苦如錐其心，為了救渡這些苦難眾生，祂亦不惜把自己化身為千萬億。大悲至勇，徹底地破碎自己，走進無量無盡的悲苦中，奉獻於這些淪落在業海的眾生身上，才是至全至圓。但是大悲菩提談何容易呀？〈普門品〉說「自在之業，普門示現神通力」，若非觀世音菩薩老人家於百千萬劫中千錘百鍊，如何得之？
    菩提心是什麼？H.H.第三世多杰羌佛於無上解脫法《什麼是修行》中說的清楚透徹，次第宛然，我輩只有躬行自省：

發菩提心，首先必須要有無常觀，對自我與眾生輪迴之無常流轉痛苦，生起覺觀無常境心，即發出離願，由是則建立出離心，我出離，眾生六道父母也出離，輪迴苦海難熬痛不欲生，為是願觀而生強烈恐懼所逼，時時欲求當下解脫，但明了其菩薩之行，方可快捷了生脫死，於是自我願作因地菩薩，欲求快速自覺覺他，則自然生大悲之心，由此菩提籽發。菩提心所發是建立在大悲心上的，故佛義云：「大悲之水澆灌菩提籽發，則樹茂果豐耶。」是此，菩提心自然建立。

無常流轉的痛苦，不會只有我此時所面對的安養院眾生才有，我亦凡夫，終將步入如是的下場。但是H.H.第三世多杰羌佛在《學佛》一書中，一幀對比佛像多麼令人驚駭呀！這不正是圓滿解脫的保證嗎？學佛修行的我們還遲疑些什麼？偉大的佛陀都已經發出了肺腑之言，告訴我們：

遠離封建迷信、怪力亂神、邪師騙子、附佛外道、邪教、邪書。要嚴持佛教戒律，大悲為本，諸惡莫作，眾善奉行，捨己利他，忍辱愧行，自淨其意，面對眾生不分殘缺病康，一律平等視為親人，要知萬法皆因果，善因得善報，善報結善果，善果獲正法，依法圓福慧，步入成就境，脫離眾生苦，了脫生死輪，圓滿成佛道！

今日，我們在此安養院中看到的眾生正是一面鏡子，足以警之！

轉因換果

無緣不聚，無債不來。人的緣份啊，隨業而聚，緣盡而散。用世俗的玩笑話來說，有人是來還債；有人是來討債。但還債，說來簡單，卻也令人生不如死，痛徹心扉。
 
　　我總是嘲笑自己彷彿戲裡的苦旦女主角。

　　傳統父系社會價值觀，女孩子是菜籽命，不值錢。嫁雞隨雞，嫁狗隨狗，潑出去的水，再也沒有回頭的路，我嫁給了現在的先生。

　　在這個家中，婆婆覺得媳婦是用聘金買來的佣人，每天劈頭的是無理的謾罵及要求；老公吃喝嫖賭樣樣都會，常常在外尋歡不回家，生活之於我是一連串無止盡的惡夢。我每天為了小孩；為了茶米油鹽醬醋茶；為了生活而煩惱。但止不住的是婆婆一起床瘋狂的謾罵，止不住的是丈夫一回家就是要錢、謾罵。精神上的虐待，讓我每天只能淚流滿面，唉聲嘆氣，幾度走上崩潰的邊緣。我問天，上天為什麼要這樣折磨我？讓我承受這一切的痛苦與無奈？

　　廣大的苦海，我總游不到彼岸。彷彿快沉了，我的手還不停地掙扎著……

　　幾十年過去了，兒女們都長大成人，他們接觸到了南無 第三世多杰羌佛的正法，徹底解救了我。某一天，女兒帶我來到一間非常莊嚴的佛堂，恭聞南無 第三世多杰羌佛的開示法音。長期聞法下，我深深了解因果輪迴的報應，無始以來的業劫誰也代替不了、逃不掉、躲不了，明信因果，感恩佛菩薩的恩慈，至於欠下的無始因果業力，該還的總是要還。因此每當我遭受違緣逆境時，我在心中默念著南無南無 第三世多杰羌佛聖號，祈求南無 第三世多杰羌佛保佑我們一家和樂幸福美滿、老公脾氣變好、增加我的智慧、讓我能讀懂更多的佛法上的法義。心誠則靈吧！冥冥之中有一股力量護佑著我，家庭圓滿了，諸事吉祥了。

　　學歷只有國小程度的我，不知不覺間受了佛菩薩的加持，稍微有些淺薄的學佛心得可以與眾生分享。子女引我入佛門，為人父母的我也叮嚀兒女，人生一世，我們接受著輪迴痛苦，要勇敢面對一切的苦難與考驗，加緊修正自己的行為，緊依佛學，依教奉行，起到轉因換果的效果，最後得到親眷一起解脫輪迴的真正幸福圓滿。

　　我默默地寫下一篇篇習佛心得，老公也注意到了。這之後，他的態度有了相當大的轉變，讓人想不到這家庭完全變了樣，脾氣變好，兒女與父親的感情從疏遠到親近，這是我學佛以來獲得最大的成就與福報。我聞受法音，我總想著以南無 第三世多杰羌佛教導的慈悲善良的心對待眾生，沒想到人生中的苦業得到了翻轉，如此的轉換因果業力，使我感念佛恩浩蕩。我要感謝Ｈ．Ｈ．第三世多杰羌佛的偉大佛法，佛陀的教誨徹底改變了我的一生，現在全家人幸福快樂，和樂融融。

至誠頂禮　　南無第三世多杰羌佛！
　　2014年4月我罹患第二期胰臟癌，於台大醫院接受手術，當年6月開始進行化療。同年9月周沁怡師姐前來探望，並帶來《佛說療痔病經》一書。我持續誦經一個月後，因化療而變成深褐色的雙手指甲開始變淡了，覺得很不可思議。
　　這段期間周師姐與桑頓初巴仁波切師兄經常前來探望，並為我初步布置壇城，購買禮佛所需物品；我也邀請卻吉嘉措仁波切師兄以及很多師兄姐到我家灑淨、祈福，成立了聞法點，跟國際佛教僧尼總會恭請法音，以便我弘法利生。奇妙的是，從那之後，我原本嚴重脫皮的手腳皮膚和嘴破難以進食的症狀，漸漸好轉；更令我不敢相信的是，2014年11月電腦斷層掃描的結果，癌細胞不見了！腫瘤指數也由67降到46！前後不過2個多月的時間，令人聞之色變的胰臟癌竟然就此消失，我萬沒想到誦佛經及成立聞法點的加持力如此殊勝!
　　於是周師姐鼓勵我考聞法上師，將H.H.第三世多杰佛的佛法正知正見宣揚給眾生，就是利益眾生實踐菩提心的最好方式，加持力更大。我也不辜負她的期望，終於在2015年3月考上了。
　　再經過數個月，有一天，負責幫我化療的楊醫師突然宣布提前結束我的化療(原則上化療必須持續一年以上)，這是史無前例的事情！使我信心大增，更加勤聞法音，恭讀佛書。我持續風雨無阻地前往聖法慈善會共修，懷著懺悔及感恩的心修行學佛，2016年9月21日我的主治醫師田教授告訴我：「不必再來門診，由楊醫師負責按時追蹤檢查即可。」因此我只須赴一個門診，心中輕鬆無比，好像一塊石頭落了地。
兩年多來，如果沒有佛陀師父的加持，沒有學佛修行，沒有師兄姐的鼓勵，我怎能恢復健康，跟團去遊山玩水？更遑論參加社團聯誼？相較之下，我罹患腦癌的先生因過於固執，不信佛法，於2015年5月往生。
　　我將悲傷化為力量，堅信因果不昧，勤加學佛，努力恭聞法音、恭讀佛書，修正身口意三業，去惡向善，努力與佛陀相應。在此我感謝所有的台大醫療團隊成員，以及親友、師兄姐們的慈悲與關懷，使我在修行學佛中順暢無比。阿彌陀佛！

恭讀《籍心經說真諦》 和恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛法音所產生的巨大受益

恭讀《籍心經說真諦》 和恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛法音所產生的巨大受益     

     2016年初秋, 當我剛把夏季第一次來美國探親旅遊的父母送上飛機,身心的疲勞還沒有得到緩解, 就在第二天上班的時候被告之---由於公司的發展變化,我的工作將於一個月內結束。

      工作結束後, 我非常幸運地參加了華藏寺住持法師主持的《觀世音菩薩大悲心加持法會》，得到了佛菩薩的殊勝加持,不僅醫治好了長期的後背痠疼, 而且 回到家, 發現可以靜下心來恭讀《籍心經說真諦》這本寶書了,以前只要一打開這本寶書,不是很快打磕睡就是看不懂。 經過觀音法會的加持, 居然可以靜下心來一讀好幾個小時。有一天,我連續讀了一百多頁,內心感到無比的祥和平靜, 法喜充滿.那一瞬間,眼前浮現的是-----在無邊的湛藍色背景下純金色的觀世音菩薩。

      另外,每天我都認真恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛的法音, 有一天聽到偉大的佛陀師父在法音裡講到---不要以為你們學佛修行了,無常業力就不來找你們了。當困難和不順利的事發生的時候,要有平常心。在佛力的加持下,用一些生活的苦難去償還自己往昔的業力沒有什麼大不了的，不要想不通……

      我覺得佛陀師父的這番話就是說給我聽的。一天天的聞法做功課,並接引其他想聞法的師姐來我們家聞法, 我的心恢復了平靜, 不斷地修改自己的簡歷,總結面試技巧, 不久就找到了一份很理想的工作。以前我也經常恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛的法音,由於弟子愚鈍,是一種囫圇吞棗的感覺,只是聽了心裡覺得舒服,卻不明白為什麼這麼殊勝,故而三天打魚兩天曬網式地學習.這次自己被無常業力追趕, 恭讀《籍心經說真諦》和恭聞法音所產生的巨大受益像一顆種子一樣在弟子心中深深紮下了根。

    末法時期,在謡言惑眾群魔共舞的年代,只有 南無第三世多杰羌佛所講授的如來正法才能指引著我們渡過人生的一個個急流險灘。 我深深感到今生今世能夠跟隨偉大的第三世多傑羌佛修行學佛實在是太幸運了。弟子願用一顆最真誠的心追隨著大慈大悲的佛陀師父不斷地努力。

走在生命轉彎的路口

學習H.H.第三世多杰羌佛正法已三年多，回憶起當初能夠這份法緣，需感謝我的同事──李育真師姐。

　　那一年，大學剛畢業，父母幫我找了一份22K的工作。走入醫院，擔任病房收費員，對我來說，輕鬆而且穩定。但是，四年多的日子隨著日曆一頁頁地撕去，年齡逼近而立之年，雖然生活過得安逸，但醫院的輪班制度與微薄的薪水，令我感到不安；這樣子不但無法奉養日漸年邁父母，以後如果結婚生子，生活壓力也會更大。終於有一天，機會來了，公司內部的人體試驗委員會缺人，我成了部門的研究助理。我深信這是天上掉下來的大禮，殊不知，這次的轉調，使我的生命轉了一次大彎。

主管長期在外，鮮少踏進辦公室，委員會中，只有我跟學姐兩個人。求學生涯中，我不曾獨自舉辦任何活動，可是天大的霹靂卻打在我的身上，全國人體試驗研討會由我負責。專業的活動，需要具有經驗的人來統整，但責任來臨，使我慌了手腳。學姐理應是我的靠山，諮詢商量的好對象，事與願違，她會交代我工作事項，但實質內容卻極不願意指點。再怎麼百般尋問，冷冷一句：「我以前也沒人教，我也不知道要怎麼教你，你自己去看前人所留下來的資料，自己摸索」。頓時，我跌入了深淵……

　　這一切完完全全把我打趴了！我非常的沮喪，原來舉辦一場活動竟是這麼困難，需要注意這麼多的細節。我感覺到自己把整場會議搞砸了，學姐氣到一個不行！爾後的日子，她更不願意指點我，交辦事項往往令人摸不著頭緒，迎接我的，是怒罵，是對我能力的質疑。

　　帶著這樣憂鬱的情形，我跟著李育真師姐來到了佛堂。　
　
　　聽聞著南無第三世多杰羌佛的法音，我明白了因果論。自己無始劫以來至今所種下的業力；因自己讀書時疏忽了做幹部的學習、因自己對各項活動的不熱衷……昔日種因，今日得果。因此，我從不怨恨學姐為何不教我。

　　我只虔誠的聽聞南無第三世多杰羌佛開示的法音，發自內心，願生菩提心，努力於三業行持，眾善奉行，諸惡莫做。遷意行持後，因緣很快來了，我找到了一份比過去待遇更好的工作。我打從心裡感恩H.H.第三世多杰羌佛，讓我明白了人生真諦及人生目標。

　　H.H.第三世多杰羌佛是具有無上圓滿、無所不能、正等正覺的無上巨聖，祂是我們眾生最慈祥、最偉大的導師，所以我們要緊依佛學，直至得到解脫成就，阿彌陀佛！

What Should We Do about the Matter of Death?

 

What Should We Do about the Matter of Death?

I most sincerely prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
I most sincerely prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
I most sincerely prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
Layperson Hou Yushan, a university professor in physics, ascended to the World of Ultimate Bliss (Webpage in Chinese)
Layperson Lin Liu Huixiu in Seattle ascended to the World of Ultimate Bliss in a sitting pose (Webpage in Chinese)
While they were alive, the dharma brother and dharma sister worked diligently on their own duties to take care of their family and do volunteer work. Later, they became seriously ill. At such critical moment, they encountered extremely magnificent affinities with the dharma. They respectfully and faithfully listened to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and had the opportunity to pay respect to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in person. With boundless compassion, H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III transmitted the dharma to them. Through diligently practicing the dharma, they ascended to the World of Ultimate Bliss. Living beings should all think and seriously ask themselves a question. Who can be guaranteed to ascend to the World of Ultimate Bliss??
After attending the funeral/farewell ceremony for Layperson Hou Yushan, I recalled the time I was having dinner with Layperson Lin Liu Huixiu while she was already terminally ill. The memory of her reminding me to start eating was as fresh and vivid as yesterday. The karmic condition that caused me to learn the Buddha-dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III also resurfaced in my mind…
At the age of over 80, my grandpa was stricken in bed with pneumonia. In the early morning on that day, he was unable to breath on his own and a tube had to be inserted to feed oxygen in. The suffering caused him to be tied up on the bed yowling for several hours. Eventually, the misery ended at four o’clock in the afternoon. Despite having a strong will to live, he was nevertheless overpowered by the devil of illness and left the world unwillingly. The tragic scene before his death still appears before my eyes…In the morning of that day, grandpa could still talk and move normally. Using hand gestures to help explain, he repeatedly mentioned the time of 4 o’clock in the afternoon to me and my mother. Perhaps he already knew that the Yama King would soon come to take him…
Grandpa’s passing away greatly affected my view toward life. He was at the hospital at the time. I watched with my own eyes him stepping into the impermanence of death. I was unable to help him in any way. His death was like a horrible dream to me. I suddenly woke up to the fact that a person will die… Even the doctor can’t do anything. Where does one go after death? What can we do about that? What can we do about that?
I had never heard about H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III before then. My karmic forces were very heavy. I would doze off when listening to chanting sutras. I was only fond of pursuing worldly good fortune. To quest for the answer of what to do about death, I began to listen to the dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. At the very beginning of listening to the recorded dharma discourses, to tell the truth, I could not get most of what I heard due to my inability to understand the accent. However, any small paragraph that I could understand made me feel like getting precious treasures, even though I did not have any background in Buddhism. Through this process of entering deeply to achieve a simple and explicit understanding, I heard the truth about the universe and human life. The words of “formation, abiding, decaying, and vanishing” sounded extremely precise and accurate. What is impermanence? Why do we have to end birth and death! The dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III is so great and magnificent!
After respectfully listening to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, I have understood what impermanence is about. I am no longer worried or in fear. I also have adjusted the emphasis of my life and do not solely go after worldly enjoyment.
A person will die… Even the doctor can’t do anything. Where does one go after death? What can we do about that? What can we do about that? Actually these questions have been explained very clearly in the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and are very minor problems……

Do you have questions about ascending to the World of Ultimate Bliss?
Do you have questions about Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha?
If you can respectfully and seriously listen to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, you will have all the answers.
The accomplishment one attains depends on one’s own cultivation, conduct, and level of practice.
I am boundlessly grateful to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
I beseech and wish living beings have the opportunity to hear the dharma expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and all attain perfect good fortune and wisdom, great accomplishment, and great liberation!

I most sincerely prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
I most sincerely prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
I most sincerely prostrate to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!

Experience and Benefits Sharing- “Does a Kind Person Tend to Be Bullied by Others?”

“Does a Kind Person Tend to Be Bullied by Others?”

“Does a kind person tend to be bullied by others?”

Often I hear people say to me, “You really should not be so naive and kind. No wonder you are bullied and taken advantage of by others all the time!”

This became my thinking too in the past. That was why I had distorted understanding on many things. I always thought, “He bullied me so much. This is definitely because I am too honest and too kind in behaving as a person…” Thus, I tried to force myself to become strong and intrepid. Eventually I even became vexatious! However, is this really what I should do?

Under a certain karmic opportunity, I met a person who became a fine friend of mine. He often spoke to me some principles and reasoning of Buddhism. Later he led me to the Buddha hall he goes to. There, I had the opportunity to listen to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. Through listening to the recorded dharma discourses, I became much happier, more open- and broad-minded, and mentally freer and at ease! I also learned that learning Buddhism is not limited to occasionally practicing the dharma, burning incense to respect the Buddha, or attending dharma assemblies to be a part of the ceremony. We also need to cultivate ourselves. Cultivation can enable us to transform causality!

I mentioned earlier my idea of forcing myself to appear strong and intrepid to avoid being harmed by others. However, is it necessary to do so? Is the harm from others really due to our being kind? After listening to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, I learned that everything and all phenomena arise from causality, including of course the good and adversary karmic conditions between people. If we generate resentment and hatred or even take harmful actions against the other side when subjected to bullying or unfair treatment, wouldn’t another evil cause be seeded, which we have to pay for through suffering the malicious consequence?! Then, wouldn’t the vicious process continue forever without an end?! Also, since the situation could be due to the harm I did to the others in a past life time or at a certain time in the past, can forcing myself to be unkind make the evil causes I planted in the past disappear?! The answer is definitely no because the law of causality never errs.

With the above learning and understanding, when subjected to insult, bullying, or unfair treatment, I now know to beseech Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to bless this person with happiness, joy, and absence of afflictions! I can act even better toward this person and avoid hostile confrontations. Gradually, doing so has become my habit. I no longer need to pretend to be strong. I feel freer and more at ease in life and, of course, I am happier than before.

I am grateful to H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!

Experience and Benefits Sharing- A thought on Vegetarian Lunch

A thought on Vegetarian Lunch

By Guo Lun / Zhi Ping

Hua Zang Si usually provides a vegetarian lunch to the attendees after the end of every Dharma assembly.

When I first tasted it, it dawned on me – How can there be such delicious vegetarian food in this world? It is tastier than any gourmet food I have ever eaten. It is comforting and stays in your heart.

The ingredients may be common vegetables, such as tofu, or mushrooms and even the rice is just simple white rice. It is not greasy and they do not always season the food with chilies for aroma. It reminds you of the most delicious dish that your Mom cooked when you were little.

I wonder if it is because I have grown tired of the same old greasy food or it is just an illusion I got from a new taste. However, this fine feeling has never changed for several years from the first time I went to Hua Zang Si until now. I also have heard similar praises from a number of other people. Eventually, I was convinced that the food provided by Hua Zang Si is good quality.

Later, I was fortunate enough to volunteer in the kitchen of Hua Zang Si – I saw how Buddhist brothers and sisters deliver fresh ingredients from a great distance on the day before the Dharma assembly. I have seen how many of Buddhist brothers, sisters, aunties, grandmas, and even some kids carefully clean and prepare potatoes, carrots, vegetables and fruits. I also noticed the hard work they do on the day of the Dharma assembly: They stir-fry the food, add water to control the heat, all under high temperature. I also noticed how they carefully store the prepared dishes in the warmers to keep the food warm. At the lunch time, I also have seen how the young volunteers attentively and efficiently spoon every side dish on the plates while wearing masks and gloves in spite of the heat. In addition, I have seen how the volunteers separate the used utensils and plates for recycle with a great deal of effort.

I have finally realized what is behind the delicious vegetarian lunch – it is self-cultivation at all times and all places.

學習 H.H.第三世多杰羌佛正法 心得分享- 感恩 南無第三世多杰羌佛

感恩 南無第三世多杰羌佛

回想2007年, 那時因剛換了工作環境, 所以非常的忙錄。 有時加班到整晚, 隔天還要繼續工作, 長期下來身體與心裡都受不了, 好像機器人一樣, 一直不停地工作、工作, 總覺得人生就是為了三餐, 不停地工作着。

且要付出相當的時間與心力, 所以有時心裡會有莫名的感傷, 直到我的朋友帶我到菩提精舍恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛法音後, 整個人像充了電似的, 心裡有莫名的歡喜, 就像找到可讓心靈滿足快樂的寶一樣, 之後一到假日或有時間就往精舍跑。

當時也因工作太累的原因, 有長期頭痛病, 痛起來真的要我的命。就好像被鐵鎚敲過, 痛的很, 有時也會流鼻血, 也去看過醫生, 样样都檢查過,  就是查不出什麼原因。當時想过減輕工作量, 但又怕影響生產進度, 同时頭痛問題也無法減輕, 真讓我相當的困擾, 不知道要如何是好。

在一次恭聞 南無第三世多杰羌佛法音後, 跟精舍的法師聊起身體狀況, 於是法師拿了一可顆紅色的聖丸（甘露丸）讓我吃下。回家後, 我感覺到身體像被針扎到, 就像針灸的感覺, 在全身流走。當下我也沒多想什麼, 不知過了多久, 在工作時突然察覺到自己最近好像不再頭痛也沒流鼻血了。 這時回想到吃下甘露丸回到家時的感受, 當時感動得流下眼淚, 這頭痛病痛好幾年了, 治都治不好, 心裡无比激動，不由自主地吶喊著：
感恩 南無第三世多杰羌佛!  感恩 南無第三世多杰羌佛！感恩 南無第三世多杰羌佛！讓弟子有此因緣遇到如來正法,  讓弟子身心都得到加持, 弟子願一生努力跟隨著 南無第三世多杰羌佛學習如來正法， 永不停歇。

                                                 懺愧弟子

Buddha Light Signifies The Propagation Of Tathagata Buddha Dharma

Buddha Light Signifies The Propagation Of

Tathagata Buddha Dharma

BY HUA RU

       From Grammar school to Middle school, my sister and I went to a Buddhism institute in Hong Kong. We had karmic affinity to Buddhism. Although at that time we were not familiar with or understood Buddhism, nor did we devote much time to study Buddhism. However, our heart gave rise to joyous feeling every Monday when we entered the main Buddha Hall to chant sutras.

Our karma brought us to Hua Zang Si and we have been studying Buddha dharma under the guidance of La Jian 2^nd Long Hui Rinpoche.   Hua Zang Si abides by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III and Sakyamuni Buddhas’ teaching without the slightest deviation. The Ones of Holy Virtuous Ones and our Master are our constant role models; they lead by example. Their conduct is guided by Buddhist precepts and teaching. Their conduct has taught us and encouraged us a great deal.

We have witnessed a myriad of holy phenomena. The most inspiring and most gratifying event was that at Hua Zang Si we found ourselves in the presence of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, and had the opportunity to respectfully listen to Him expounding Buddha dharma and also received the Holy Water Sprinkle Initiation Empowerment from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III personally. All these experiences further our faith in our studying Buddha dharma and firming our resolve to cultivate ourselves to benefit living beings.

Since then we have being coming to Hua Zang Si on a frequent basis to respectfully listen to the Dharma Discourse expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, participate in every Dharma Assembly held at Hua Zang Si, take part in release lives dharma assemblies with jubilant heart and with the most sincere and pure heart we continue to participate in the weekly Meditation and Group Cultivation sessions at Hua Zang Si.

The Mediataion Session of Hua Zang Si is chaired by Gesang Yiqie Qupei Rinpoche. I have received tremendous benefits from attending the Meditation Sessions. It has allowed me to penetrate the truth of Buddha dharma, helped me to understand the philosophy of proper decorum to interact with others, taught me how to maintain a calm mental state by letting go of egotistic clinging. It also elucidated me regarding the corresponding benefit resulted from abiding precepts when we do our Buddha dharma practice. I have less and less scattered and idle thoughts. I am full of joy and I smile all the time. It has had a very positive impact on my daily routine and daily life. And I also discover those who are around me having also being influenced by my state of mind have also become positive and happy.

I remember during the mediation session on September 22, 2013, while paying attention to Gesang Yiqie Qupei Rinpoche’s dharma talk, I suddenly saw a ray of golden light appeared on the Rinpoche’s Certificate of Holy Virtue, right above her photo.

At that moment I did not believe my eyes, I turned around to investigate whether it was generated by the sun. I realized it was impossible for the Sun’s ray to reach that angle. I was stunned. Next moment it disappeared. Later on, however, the ray of light re-appeared. This time, two rays of golden light appeared and what resembled green leaf also accompanied the light. The scene is beautiful beyond words, and extremely auspicious.  At that time I was so surprised and excited. I believe this verifies that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas were conferring the Buddha dharma propagated by Hua Zang Si is the authentic Tathagata Buddha dharma.

This phenomenon absolutely took place. The appearance of Buddha light signifies the propagation of correct Buddha dharma. Amitabha!

初学 南无第三世多杰羌佛如來正法的粗浅感悟

初学 南无第三世多杰羌佛如來正法的粗浅感悟

     佛弟子：李淑萍

我是一个福报浅薄的人，在年近中年才开始学佛，接触了 南无第三世多杰羌佛正法，我现在还处于刚起步的阶段，对许多经文、佛理等还不是很理解，所以，在这里只说说自己学佛的粗浅感悟，这肯定有许多不如法的地方，希望师兄师姐们能给我指出来，我将不胜感激并加以马上改正。

我今年46岁了，接触 南无第三世多杰羌佛正法只有一年多的时间，而真正用佛法来指导自己的生活、反观自己的生活也只是最近的事情了。佛法告诉我们：因果是宇宙间的最高法则，没 有一件事情能逃得过因果报应。因此，我试着从因果的角度来检视我四十多年的生活，其结果也让我感慨万千！我出生于山东一个普通贫困的农民家庭，从我的出生 来看，我应该是一个福报浅薄的人。我妈妈重男轻女很厉害，因此她一直不喜欢我。但是贫困的家庭让我很懂事，我小时候就会帮家里干活，不敢让妈妈生气，不敢 给家里添麻烦。可能由于这个因缘再加之祖上的荫庇，我从小学习出类拔萃，考大学时顺利地上了一所全国重点学校，以后我陆续完成了硕士生、博士生、博士后等 的教育历程，现在在一所大学里任老师。据我多年的观察，享有世上大福报的人（高管、专家、有钱人）大多是孝顺父母的人，所以，百善孝为先，我们所有学佛的 弟子一定要好好孝顺自己和爱人的长辈，这会为你们积累无量福德的。相反，不孝之人大多会很困顿，而且他们的德行也会感召不孝之子，如此恶性循环，真的让人 唏嘘不已！

但是随着事业进展的顺利，我的我执愈发严重了，我越来越自以为是、刚愎自用、吾我贡高了，甚至飞扬跋扈了，但可悲的是我丝毫认识不到自己的错误。随 之而来的是，家庭矛盾愈发尖锐了，我瞧不起丈夫、训斥孩子、数落老人。多少年来，我作为一个妻子从没有尽到做妻子的责任，我不温柔、不和顺、不善解人意， 我霸道、刚强、唯我独尊。丈夫因为不堪忍受我的做派而长年在外地创业，这更导致了我的怨言和怨恨。我的丈夫多年来除了艰苦创业外，还要默默承受我的埋怨和 骄横，这也间接导致了他事业的不顺利。对于孩子，我的理念是：你是我的孩子，你就应该优秀！这些错误的理念给孩子带来了巨大的心灵创伤，初中的时候他厌学 逃学，几至令我崩溃！幸亏祖上有德，高中的时候孩子遇上了好老师，成绩逐渐好起来并考上了名牌大学。即使到现在我们一起聊天，他仍然对我以前的做法厌恶至 极，并因为我的强势，这么优秀的他居然会在女孩子面前有自卑感，我的罪过何其大也！对老人，我自觉得瞻仰老人有功，经常在老人面前不恭不敬、大发厥词，令 老人很不开心！当我学习佛法后，我深刻认识到自己的错误，作为一个女人是家庭的根本，只有彻底去除我执、我慢，家庭才能成为一个温暖和谐的港湾，家和才能 万事兴！只有家庭的根正了，儿孙才能枝繁叶茂，整个社会才能和谐昌盛，我们的民族才能永远屹立于东方之秀！

我学习佛法的时间还很短， 听闻 南无第三世多杰羌佛的法音时间也不长，我现在正在拜读 南无第三世多杰羌佛的一些佛学经典，在佛法上我还是一个初学者。但我现在正试图用我所学的佛法知识指导我的工作和学习，我要籍 南无第三世多杰羌佛及诸佛菩萨的加持改正我的我执、我慢和所知障，真的是很难，但是难行需行。我现在的进步是，当我做了不如法的事情的时候，我会立即认识 到自己错了，这是以前所没有过的。我现在要求自己尊重丈夫，尽管做得很笨拙，经常会故态复萌，但我一直督促自己向前。在这里感恩宋师兄对我一贯的宽容大 度。现在我经常倾听孩子内心的想法，不把自己的意见强加于他，孩子现在越来越懂事听话，也越来越阳光开朗了，感恩 南无第三世多杰羌佛及诸佛菩萨赐予我这么一个好的孩子！现在我回到婆婆家就帮婆婆干活，陪老人说话。离开老人的时候每个周打一次电话问候老人。感恩我的公 公婆婆多年来对我的宽容大度，让我有改过自信的机会！感恩所有的师兄师姐们，我们能在一起修学 南无第三世多杰羌佛正法是多么大的缘分呀！

往昔所造诸恶业，皆由无始贪嗔痴，从身语意之所生，一切我今皆忏悔！南无第三世多杰羌佛！南无第三世多杰羌佛！南无第三世多杰羌佛！

The Dharma Water Manifests Buddha Power The Sincere Prayers to Buddhas Clear Unknown Illness

The Dharma Water Manifests Buddha Power

The Sincere Prayers to Buddhas Clear Unknown Illness

by Renqin Sangbo Rinpoche

In Mid-October 2011, when layperson Ling-Xian Chen from New York came to San Francisco to visit Hua Zang Si, she came to my place to listen to the Dharma. When I saw her, she seemed very gloomy. After a few words with her, I learned that her daughter-in-law, Su-Qing Chen in Taiwan was suffering from an unknown illness. She had   gone through several examinations at various hospitals and still could not find the cause of it. She was in agonizing pain and her body was so weak that her weight had gone down to 39 kilos. Layperson Ling-Xian Chen was very worried about this and was about to rush back to pay her a visit in Taiwan. At that time, I recalled that I had the Dharma water empowered by the Buddha. I made a small bottle for her and asked her to bring it to her daughter-in-law. I also asked her to tell her daughter-in-law to have faith in Buddha Dharma, truly repent her beginning-less karmic hindrances and sincerely beseech empowerment from the Buddhas.

After layperson Ling-Xian Chen arrived in Taiwan, she then learned that her daughter-in-law had suffered from the illness since the beginning of the year. Her symptoms started with skin rashes and itchiness. She had sought cures from everywhere to no avail. Then in October her illness got worse. She was not able to swallow. If she drank, the water would flow out of her nostrils; if she ate, the food would get stuck in her throat. The last resort was nasogastric intubation for feeding. On October 18, they found the name of the illness – dermatomyositis, but there was no cure for it. They could only treat her with corticosteroids or antibiotics. Afterwards, she experienced chest pain as a result of liquid retention in the lungs. They took out the liquid, yet the chest pain did not go away. After another check-up, they found a tear in the esophagus. Feeding through a tube was then stopped.

November 5 was the first time when layperson Ling-Xian Chen fed her daughter-in-law the Dharma water. She poured the pure Dharma water in the tube and asked her daughter-in-law how she felt about it. She said that it felt good and tasted fragrant. Afterwards, layperson Ling-Xian Chen poured the rest of the Dharma water evenly in several mineral water bottles. Every day she gave some of it to her daughter-in-law and comforted her daughter-in-law saying that with the Dharma water, she will receive the empowerment from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. As long as she has faith, she will have hope.

The prolong use of antibiotics and corticosteroids lead to anemia and malnutrition. At one point her limbs almost fell paralyzed and she could not even take care of her biological needs. To restore the tube feeding, the tube was inserted all the way to the small intestine which was a very painful process. After the evaluations were done by several departments, they decided on a surgery to suture the tear on the esophagus. On December 16, while in the surgery, the surgeons found that the tear of the esophagus had gotten too big, like the shape of a trumpet, to suture. They also found two additional small holes next to the heart. At the end, they redirected the tube from the top to a lower position and decided on a gastrostomy tube placement surgery which was then scheduled on January 4. After the surgery, her daughter-in-law was placed in ICU.

During this period of time, layperson Ling-Xian Chen insisted on feeding her daughter-in-law the mineral water mixed with the Dharma water. She had drunken seven or eight bottles all together. Gadu Rinpoche had chanted a sutra and beseeched blessings for her. The monastics of Hua Zang Si also have dedicated their merits to her. While she was waiting for the g-tube placement surgery, a miracle happened. On January 3, before the surgery, in an endoscope exam, they found that tissues around the tear had grown and as a result closed the opening. The doctors were stunned by this and said that a surgery was not necessary any more. After two weeks of observation, the feeding tube was then taken out. After taking another X-ray of the esophagus to ensure of no opening, she was then released. One month after, she gradually recovered. She was then able to swallow without problems. Now, she is strong enough to talk and move freely.

The entire family of layperson Ling-Xian Chen was very moved. Her daughter-in-law also truly thanked the empowerment from the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. She took refuge in Buddhism and sincerely took on the Bodhi path of Buddhist practice and cultivation. This true story again proves that Buddha Dharma is magnificent and the highest. It manifests immeasurable power that is true and not false. As long as one is sincere to the Buddhas, truly repents the beginning-less negative karma as a result of ignorance, becomes determined to learn from the Buddha and do only good, and cultivate in accordance with the Dharma, one will definitely receive empowerment from the Buddhas, eradicate all afflictions and sufferings caused by karmic hindrances, and obtain peace and happiness. Amitabha!
