[emoji92]HOW TO ENHANCE OUR "CONNECTION" WITH GUAN YIN BODHISATTVA[emoji92]
Male Listener : How do we enhance our connection with Guan Yin Bodhisattva?
Master Lu : Importantly, we must adhere to Guan Yin Bodhisattva's teachings. For example, Bodhisattva teaches us wisdom. As such, we must live our life with wisdom. Bodhisattva teaches us not to be greedy. Thus, we must refrain from greed. Bodhisattva teaches us compassion and to love sentient beings. Give this a thought - if you are becoming more compassionate, how is it possible that you are not able to see and get connected to Guan Yin Bodhisattva? (Yes). On the other hand, if a person is merciless, how will such a person connect to Guan Yin Bodhisattva? (Yes, that’s right).
To gain connection is not difficult at all. The “connection” is established when you are as compassionate as Bodhisattva. (Yes).

【迎财神】:教你怎么来求财!
【不贪,不讲,求平安】
年初五,大家要记住,嘴巴不可以讲出来。很多人在年初五烧香,求财求不到,因为嘴巴讲了。很多人喜欢嘴巴里讲,我救济了多少穷人,我捐了多少钱财,我布施了多少,大家不要讲。初五的时候,财神菩萨来了,不要讲我要发财什么的,...希望大家真正地好,并不是求财。因为钱并不能给人带来快乐。很多人有钱,并不快乐。真正聪明的人是求平安。中国人有一句话,“平安就是福”。我们不要去贪,人一旦有了贪心,就会难过、贫困、痛苦。学佛的人,不能够去贪。
——佛学问答131
【多种善根】
关于年初五拜财神的问题,财神完全可以拜的,但是主要是要种下自己的善根。有这个根拜了才会灵;如果这个人没有什么财的根,拜了也没有什么灵的。但是财呢,每个人多多少少都会有一点的,看怎么样把这个花浇得开放得更好一点。

【吃素,不杀生】
吃全素的人不但对事业好,还会对他财运也好。...你去看,现在有很多大的老板都是吃素的(对对)很多理念都吃素了。所以有些时候给你财运,因为你不杀生,不杀生的人他不会有漏啊,不会有漏的话他容易聚财。他不跟动物结冤,他不跟人结冤,所以这种人财运会很好。你想想看,身体好了财运不就好了吗?很多人再有钱,家里看病把钱全部看得倾家荡产了(是的)吃素怎么没关系?比他的命根当中财运还要好,就是他在积福积德了。

【多布施】
一般来讲是今世的福报。如果你在前世四五十岁时做过大善事,好的东西也会到你四五十岁的时候来的,但是基本的财运已经用完了。如果你十岁、二十岁的时候很懂得布施,或者很懂得花钱救人、帮助人我碰到过一个女孩从小就喜欢给人家钱,压岁钱都拿出来给,她现在非常有钱那就算今世的福报。
财运是上天所赐,是你前世自己所修,不是这辈子能弄来的了,这辈子想财运好的话,要靠多布施(哦)很简单的人间道理,想有钱你就必须投资。

现在求财的人很多。实际上求财它也是有因果的,并不是你求了财就能得到财,因为财神也是要看你有没有在过去生中和今生种善果,也要看你们是不是在过去世和今世有施财的种子。要明白,你有没有财和你有没有福气,是要看你有没有种下这个因。如果你今天有福气是因为你种下了这个因,你今天这个人有财运,是因为你种下了福田,所以你才会有这个果。比如你有一块田,但你呢没有把种子种下去,然而你天天就在这个福田上浇水,施肥,把它保养得很好,但最后怎么长得出果啊?明白了吧。就等于你前世没有去布施,没有去做善事,没有去做好事,没有布施钱财,这就等于这个种子没有了,那你现在看见财神菩萨,“菩萨,财神菩萨,让我发财啊!”你没有这个种子,你求的时候等于你在浇水,但你没有种子怎么长得出善果?怎么收割啊?你虽然给它水,给它阳光,相当于求菩萨供水果,但是你能得到财运吗?因为你没有种子啊,再求财神都没用的,对不对啊?但是,如果你同样有种子,但你没有阳光、没有水,那你这个种子就长不好、长不快。明白吗?道理都是一样的。你没有布施因,不管你怎么求,你也不会有这个果。因为福报的果是从布施的因得到的。
——《心中常种三福田》
大家要记住修学佛法,不要贪,不要瞋,不要痴。如果有人告诉你,可以帮你求财,这时你就要当心了,要用心认真地去思考一下是否正。求财,菩萨是不会帮我们的,财是你布施后得来的,是你前世所修而得的。
——《掌握法执,一门深入》
【财布施得财】
大家知道,布施有三种:财布施、法布施和无畏布施。财布施是指拿钱救济贫苦人的衣食住行等。...
在这三种布施中,财布施得财。你现在布施财的话,你今生今世马上就好。如果你能够帮助别人,成全他们的智慧,你自己就是福慧者,既有福气,又有智慧。所以我们要劝人多做布施,要让他们看到,人活在这个世界上,果报因缘就是这三种布施所为的一种。

[emoji92]IMPORTANT NOTE IN
THE YEAR OF THE
MONKEY[emoji92]
Master Lu : "Year of the Monkey shall be a year of "Instability". History tells us that every year of Monkey there are many unpleasant things that had happened. There will be instabity in the world, in the economy and in the political scene. Only culture will be spared. Hence, culture should be made as the foundation of world-peace and harmony".
In this year where "Instability" prevails, one must :
[emoji626]Guard one’s speech
[emoji626]Guard one's conduct.
[emoji626] Recite more Heart Sutra to gain wisdom (ideally at least 49 times per day).
[emoji626]Be "Mindful"
[emoji626]Recite Xiao Zai Ji Xiang Shen Zhou

【不要等到天灾人祸到了才想起来要学佛念经】
师父在前天刚刚听到,台湾大地震,我们有一个佛友刚刚学了几个月,一家三口买了年货准备过年了,没想到一场无情的大地震把他们家里人全部压在下面。她的先生不学佛的,已经走了;太太带着两个孩子,因为刚刚学佛,居然还活下来了。这几天还压在下面,还没挖出来,痛苦地活着。
今天师父在放生船上跟大家讲,佛陀曾经被他的弟子问起,很多人懈怠、不精进,怎么办?佛陀说:“在我们舍卫城有四种马。一种马见到抽马鞭子的时候,它马上就能奋进往前走,看到影子就能往前走;还有一种马,它是看见了鞭子之后,鞭子抽到了它的马尾巴、它的毛,才会拼命走;第三种,你要抽上去后它才会往前走;还有第四种马,要用锥子锥在它的臀部,才会往前走。

MASTER LU’ DISCOURSE TO DISCIPLE
Question 19
[emoji92]DO NOT LOSE "THE INITIAL" HEART THAT WE STARTED OUT WITH IN OUR CULTIVATION[emoji92]
Q: A Dharma cultivator have managed to recover from a bone disease which he was suffering from, through recitation, liberation of captive lives and making great vows. However, out of a sudden in July this year, his condition was aggravated. The bones in his entire body were aching and he was unable to move. Is this considered an “eruption of karmic obstacles”?
A : In actual fact, his time is up. His efforts in recitation, performing virtuous deeds and his strong determination at the beginning stage, explains his rapid recovery. That is why it is very important that we must cultivate with the same heart that we first started-out with.
When a person first embarked on his journey of learning the Dharma, the power of this “initial heart" is the strongest. That is the time when he wept and cried: “Bodhisattva, please protect and bless me...at last, I have found Guan Yin Bodhisattva”. This moment is the most commendable.
Sadly, at a later stage, he became dispassionate. Once he sees some improvement in his heath, he starts to slack in his practice; taking his cultivation lightly, losing THE very heart that he first started-out with.
(Is this considered eruption of karmic obstacles?). It has erupted in the first place and it has never really stopped. When the "initial heart" was strong, it has managed to obscure the karmic obstacles. But when slackness sets in, that is when the eruption takes place again. It is like when a pipe burst. Water was prevented from gushing out with the hand holding on to it. However, with the slightest weakening of the grip, the water will immediately gush out. (What measures can we take to salvage this?). Rediscover the heart that he had started-out with, the time when he first started to pray, “Please…I don’t wish to die...please..”
He would have to perform more liberation of captive lives to extend his lifespan. Increase the recitations of Little House to disperse calamities and recite at least five times 88 Buddhas Great Repentance (LIFO) daily.
