【為什麼壞人有錢,好人沒有錢?】
Why are the Evil-Doers Rich, and Mr Good Guys Poor?
這支影片幾年前上傳到Youtube時,有觀眾留言問:
老師,不好意思,我想請問您 :那些惡人今世可以賺到不斐的財富,是因為前世他們累積了不可思議的福報導致。
那麼佛教有種說法,就是我們累世輪迴,這一世就是靈魂繼承上世的修行程度。你修的好的地方(善緣福報)你修的不好的地方(惡緣惡報)都會帶來這一世讓你繼續修,最終目的就是修到大圓滿 然後成佛。
可是我的問題是,那些惡人如果上世能夠累積到這麼多的福報,那麼本質上他的靈魂就一定是善的居多,怎麼這一世會偏差的這麼遠呢? 令人費解@@ 不好意思想請教老師...

我那時簡單的回覆:
您好。菩薩有隔世之迷,而且人之初,性混沌,遇到善緣,人會變善,遇到惡緣,人會變惡。
但問題是,修過福報的人,不一定是守五戒的人,因為他們可能不曾修過智慧,習性特重,便不會產生這定力不去犯錯。
打個比方,成龍享有巨大的財富和名氣,和他喜歡做慈善的心性有關係,但他還是犯了淫,因為定力不足,喜色成性。後代房祖名吸毒不爭氣,成龍受千夫所指,也是邪淫果報之一。
喜做善,不代表沒有在行惡。行了惡,又沒有懺悔,就會有這般善惡交叉的命運。但惡人再惡,善緣臨時也會有放下屠刀,立地成佛的一天,如佛陀弟子央掘魔罗。

When I uploaded this video on my Youtube channel 4 years ago, a viewer left a comment asking,
"Teacher, sorry but I wish to ask, those villiians can earn bountiful wealth because of the incredible good fortune they accumulated in their past lives.
In Buddhism, there is this theory: our souls in this lifetime is the product of our cultivation from past lives. Thus, for this life, you will continue to cultivate the areas you did well in (virtuous affinities & good fortune) and the areas you fail in (negative affinities & retribution).
The final goal is to accomplish Great Perfection and eventually, attain Buddhahood.
But my question is, if those villians accumulated so much good fortune in their past lives, then the essence of their souls should have more goodness in them. Why the vast difference in this life? This is perplexing. @@ Sorry I wish to ask Teacher ...”
*
My simple reply at that time:
Hi, a Bodhisattva will experience confusion between his past and current lives. When man is born, his nature is chaotic. He becomes virtuous when he meets virtuous conditions, and turns vile, when he meets malevolent affinities.
The problem is a person who has cultivated good fortune may not be a person who adheres to the five precepts. Because they may not have cultivated wisdom, they are still very prone to their habitual tendencies and lack the meditative strength to avoid committing sins.
For example, Jackie Chan enjoys enormous wealth and fame. This got to do with his fondness for doing charity. But he still committed sexual misconduct due to his lack of restraint. Thus his son, Jaycee Chan, was a drug abuser and let the family down. Jackie Chan was universally condemned and this is one retribution of his sexual misconduct.
A person doing virtuous deeds does not mean he is not doing bad deeds on the other hand. If there is no repentance after a bad deed is done, he will end up with a Destiny of good and bad interweaved in it.
But no matter how malevolent a villain may be, when his virtuous affinity approaches, there will come a day when he is willing to lay down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha, i.e. repent and be absolved of his past sins.
Just like Buddha's disciple, Angulimala.

▍「除了停止了探訪外,這裡任何東西都沒變過。廁所依然是那麼髒,他們(入境處)連一塊香皂都沒有多給我們。」- 羈留者O生氣的說
自9月6日CIC出現第二單新冠確診,CIC便停止了探訪,所有羈留者都已經十天因探訪暫停而無法獲得一些基本衛生護理物資。以下為義工H的心聲:
CIC對認可物資要求十分苛刻,書一定不要有任何標註,連一個「由XX中學圖書館捐贈」的印章也容不下,「呢本唔入得」;香皂只能是藍色的,但藥房通常是一排六塊的賣,只有兩塊是藍色,總有四塊紫色、白色不知如何處理;以為只要寫著「祝君早安」的毛巾便可以,買到了,職員又說「標誌中一的不是「合」字,這不是正版」,退回,不收;買了兩包M&M想給羈留者,但被告知一次一定要給5包,而且一定要是同一顏色的包裝。第一次聽到時會又生氣又無奈,明明都是香皂、毛巾,這些要求除了用來留難訪客,有任何意思嗎?每次探訪,更是總會見到其他訪客有一些東西因不乎要求而被退回,山長水遠走到來CIC,卻沒法送物資到親人、朋友手上,會感到很可惜嗎?
怒氣與無奈,隨著探訪次數漸多而慢慢地被磨蝕。為了能順利地把物資送到羈留者手上,更是練成了一對金精火眼,去到不同藥房都認得出物資,知道格價合理與否。這一陣子,見到任何藥房都會逛一逛,見到適合的便買下。這幾天都接給幾位羈留者的電話,有的說急需牙膏、香皂(只能通過探訪才能獲得),有的說很悶想收新的書。我想說,我都準備了,只是不知何時才見到他們。
羈留者的來電中,讓我除了知道他們需要的物資外,更是體會到自由對他們的迫切。「7樓的40多人全被送到隔離營了,你有他們的消息嗎?」S問。「我需要幫助。我不想繼續留在CIC,這裡有新冠病毒確診。這裡不安全。」R說。我想這次CIC這次確診引致的Lockdown和全院檢測已充份反映到這個地方十分高危,為何還是要強行把一班無罪的人拘禁,置他們的健康生命於危險中?
「我們差不多所有羈留人士已經聯名向入境處寫了一封投訴書,抗議停止探訪並要求交代原因。」O說。「希望很快可以容許探訪。」
▍“I am very angry about this lockdown. They (ImmD) did nothing more to advance any prevention or protection measures. Just lockdown. We are running out of toothpaste, soap and hand wash.” — Detainee I
Due to the discovery of the 2nd confirmed case of COVID-19 on 6th September, CIC has suspended all visit. All detainees have since been unable to receiving basic hygienic products from their visiting friends. It has been 10 days. Below are some thoughts of our volunteer H:
CIC is exceptionally meticulous, or better put, bureaucratic about the hand-in articles from visitors to detainees. A book must be totally clean, even a stamp that says “Donated by XX School Library” would made the book ineligible for handing in; The soap must be in blue, yet stores often sell this brand of soap in a pack of six, so volunteers would always be left with 4 bars of non-blue soap; when you bought the towel with the exact wording, the staff will always let you know that your towel is “knock-off” and therefore unaccepted; M&M must come in 5 packs of the same colour. When the articles I bought first got rejected by CIC officers, I was very frustrated. In terms of their function, the towels and soap I bought were just fine. And every time I visited, I always saw other visitors’ “unapproved” articles got rejected. Imagining coming all the way with the hope of giving a little something to make your detainee friend’s life slightly better, and yet got rejected for the bureaucratic instructions of CIC, would you feel upset?
Nevertheless, my angry and frustration has been numbed as I visited CIC more frequently. In order to successfully got the articles to detainees, I have become an expert. I have memorised the entire list of approved hand-in articles and know the prices for each item. And over time, I have stocked up these articles for the detainees. In the past few days, our concern group have received several calls from detainees, saying that they are lacking certain hygienic project. “We are running out of toothpaste, soap and hand wash.” they said. I would love to let them know that I have stocked up, yet I now have no idea when I can give things to them due to the lockdown in CIC.
From these calls from detainees, not only had I learnt about the certain items they need, but also what freedom meant to them. “40 detainees from 7/F have been sent to the isolation camp, do you have any news about them?”, detainee S asked me. “Actually I need help. I don’t want to stay long time in CIC. There is positive case here. CIC is not safe.” Detainee R said. I think the current lockdown of CIC have demonstrated exactly how CIC is not safe. There is a high risk for cross-infection of COVID-19 in CIC. So, why is the authority so determined to detain this group of innocent people, and put their health and lives in danger?
“Most detainees have wrote a complaint letter together to the Immigration Department against the lockdown and ask for reasons.” Said O. “Hope this complaint letter could help reopen visit soon.”

【萬善之頭】The Origin of Virtuousness
今天是農曆七月初五,也是我唸報父母恩咒的第五天。
這咒我唸了十五的農曆七月了。
讀到許多觀眾留言,說因為我的直播,他們也在今年開始持這咒,我真的真的⋯⋯為你們的父母感到欣慰。😄
在華人的社會裡,一般來說,正正當當的賺錢孝敬父母、和顏悅色、奉公守法、傳宗接代,不做丟人現眼的事是基本的孝。
但這些在佛教裡,實屬小孝。
以這定義,我絕對是不孝女,因為有很多年我做生意負債時,一分錢都給不到父母,又不敢對他們坦白,只說沒錢。
好啦,如果您有本事,做生意成功,風光回鄉,讓您父母和祖宗十八代笑得見牙不見眼,那也只有中孝而已。
最大的孝,是修行,因為您能助您父母脫離六道,您們都不用再受輪迴之苦。
因此釋迦牟尼佛成佛時,祂的母親摩耶夫人便得升忉利天中,享天福。
您能先從一佛號、一佛咒開始,便已向修行的道路邁出第一步了!
不要小看報父母恩咒,因為這是釋迦牟尼佛所傳的。所以各位大德,千萬要記得這一點 - 一定要教您的孩子和您一起唸報父母恩咒!👧🏻👦🏻
做父母的,要懂得投資啊!百善孝為先,孩子小小年紀就懂得盡孝,就有了人最基本的良知,為自己種下了廣大的福田。就算以後您不在他們的身邊,他們也必會遇到貴人扶持,命運不會太壞,只因為他們是孝子孝女。
再說了,萬一您有什麼三長兩短,修行失敗,還有個後代可以助您!錯過了蓮花捷運,到不了佛國淨土,到天界做天人,總比擠在一堆骨灰盎裡好呀!😂
報父母恩咒:「南無密栗哆。哆婆曳。梭哈」
Nan Mo Mi Li Duo Duo Po Yi Soha
(我是修真佛密法的,因此此咒結尾,我是依著我師尊的唸音,唸「梭哈」。這代表圓滿、成就的意思。)

唸報父母恩咒有何功德:https://youtu.be/x-7GPmbq5nw
————————————
Today is the 5th day of the 7th Lunar month, and also my fifth day of reciting the Mantra of Repaying the Debt of Gratitude to Parents this year.
I have been reciting this mantra for fifteen years.
I read many comments from my viewers, that they started reciting this mantra this year after watching my Lives. I am so glad for your parents. 😄
In our Chinese society, generally speaking, the most basic forms of filial piety include:
1) making a honest living to give pocket money to our parents
2) being pleasant towards our parents
3) not breaking the law
4) carrying on the family lineage
5) not doing any shameful act
However, in the eyes of the Dharma, these are merely small acts of filial piety.
Going by this definition, I am definitely an unfilial daughter. Because there were many years when I got into debt from doing business and was unable to give my parents a single cent. I could not bring myself to tell them the truth and could only say I was broke.
Okay, if you are more capable than me congratulations on your big-time success in doing business! So you return to your homeland in triumphant victory and see your parents + ancestors of the past 18 generations grinning from teeth to teeth.
That is just the medium level of filial piety.
The biggest form of filial piety is spiritual cultivation. For you can help your parents to break free from the six realms of reincarnation and all of you will no longer have to undergo the sufferings of birth and death.
Hence, when Shakyamuni Buddha attained Buddhahood, his deceased mother, Queen Maya, ascended to Trayastrimsas Heaven to enjoy heavenly pleasures.
When you start reciting one Buddha’s name, or one Buddhist mantra, you have already taken your first step onto the path of Buddhist cultivation.
Do not belittle the Mantra of Repaying Debt of Gratitude to Parents, for it was expounded by Shakyamuni Buddha.
So to all my noble audience, please remember this very important point - you must teach your children to recite this mantra together with you! 👧🏻👦🏻
As parents, we should all be astute investors. Filial piety is the most important of all virtues. When a child knows how to be filial from a young age, he/she already has the most basic conscience as a human, and that will sow the seeds for fields of great blessedness.
Come one day when you can no longer be by your child’s side, your child will definitely meet many benefactors in the life path and not have a wretched destiny, because they are filial from young.
Moreover, if anything untoward happen to you and you fail miserably in your spritual cultivation, at least you still have a descendant to help you.
Should you miss the lotus train to the Buddha’s Pureland, to be a celestial being in the Heaven far surpasses the fate of being squeezed like sardines in a urn placed in the columbarium. 👻
報父母恩咒:「南無密栗哆。哆婆曳。梭哈」
Nan Mo Mi Li Duo Duo Po Yi Soha
(I practices the True Buddha Tantric Dharma, thus I follow my Root Guru’s recitation sounds and recite “soha” at the end of this mantra. This represents perfection and accomplishment.)
