青山无语
Posted by AUTUMN&WINTER on 24-06-2013, 10:30 AM :
Yeah, but too bad (无奈), we will not recognise each other. I'd just attended 7 days of 水陆法会. I participated in the inner hall chanting. There were so many meaning Buddhist verses which I had not chanted before. Managed to find one at youtube. Just to share with you all. Meaningful & 无奈.
青山无语叹人亡，草露风灯闪电光。人归何处青山在，总是南柯梦一场。
Mountains have no words but sigh for the passing of people, it's like the dew on the grass and like lightning. Where do these people pass away go to? The mountains remain. Afterall it's just a dream.
(6 realms (heaven, humans, demi-gods, animals, hell & ghost) are afterall not eternal)

Yes it's considering as reciting though it may not be of high quality. A chant of high quality requires you to single-mindedly recite 南无观世音菩萨.

玄奘大師(簡體字幕)

玄奘大师与《心经》的故事
玄奘去印度的路上，依靠《心经》的威力遣除了一切 违缘。当年他带一些眷属西去取经，以种种原因只剩下他一个人。有次他路经一个寺院，看见一个老和尚病得很严重，玄奘生起极大的悲心，没有继续赶路而一直呆 在寺院里照顾他。后来那个老和尚的病基本上好了，临行之前，他送给玄奘一本梵文的《心经》，玄奘一路上都在念诵。
有一天他来到恒河岸边，看见数千人聚集在一起，就好奇地上前去看，原来是婆罗门外道在祭拜河神。按照当地传统，为了供奉河神，每年都要选一个年轻男子扔进 河里。当天正好选中了一个，他的家人特别伤心，与此男子哭作一团。正在依依不舍之际，他们忽然看见来了一个外国和尚（玄奘大师），当即笑逐颜开、欢喜若 狂，立即将玄奘捆了起来，准备让他代替那个年轻男子。
玄奘告诉他们：“如果你们非要把我供神，我也没办法，但我作为一个出家人，可不可以把今天的经念完？等我念完经，你们怎样处置都可以。”那些人就同意了。玄奘随即开始念《心经》，三遍过后，天空乌云密布、电闪雷鸣。所有人都特别害怕，不敢得罪他，便把他给放了。
从此以后，玄奘对般若总集的《心经》更加重视。他所翻译的《心经》，与藏译、其他汉译本相比，虽然较短，但却受过观音菩萨的特殊加持。据说他从印度取经回 来时，念及和尚所赐《心经》的恩德，准备好好报答一番。谁知当他到原来的地方，不仅是老和尚，连那个寺院也消失无踪了。后人都说老和尚是观音菩萨的化现。

忏悔文 (男女唱佛教歌曲)
Posted by AUTUMN&WINTER on 06-06-2013, 8:27 AM :
Repentance in Buddhism is slightly different from other religions. Buddhists repent not just for the unwholesome actions in this life but also repent for the unwholesome actions committed in our many past lives.
Repent sincerely will lighten one's sins.
REPENTANCE VERSE
All evil actions committed by me since time immemorial,
stemming from greed, anger and ignorance,
arising from body, speech and mind,
I deeply repent having committed.
往昔所造诸恶业 皆由无始贪嗔痴 从身语意之所生 今对佛前求忏悔
往昔所造诸恶业 皆由无始贪嗔痴 从身语意之所生 一切罪障皆忏悔
往昔所造诸恶业 皆由无始贪嗔痴 从身语意之所生 一切罪根皆忏悔

南無地藏王菩薩 滅定業真言 (梵漢音)
Posted by AUTUMN&WINTER on 30-05-2013, 12:41 PM :
地藏王菩萨的悲愿：地狱不空，誓不成佛。
今天5/30 地藏菩萨殊胜功德日；
善行与惡行乘一百兆倍。
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva
His greatest compassionate Vow being: "If I do not go to the hell to help the suffering beings there, who else will go? ... if the hells are not empty I will not become a Buddha. Only when all living beings have been saved, will I attain Bodhi."
Recite 南无大愿地藏王菩萨 if one has sickness which is due to bad karma, to lighten one's bad karma, dedicate to late parents or ancestors, to wish one's family is 丰衣足食 etc.
One of my closed one recovered from skin problem (eczema) which is in the genes and unable to be treated by modern medicine after I dedicated merits to her when I chant the sutra and recite 南无大愿地藏王菩萨.
Nice mantra!

how to donate food to temples? i wanna do oso
You can bring packets of rice or bee hoon to the temple and place them on the table at the hall of the temple. Temples like Buddhist Lodge 居士林, Kwang Meng San temple, Buddhist Youth Mission at Clementi etc.
It will be good if you can participate in the annual food offering to the monks on 1 Jan of every year at Kwang Meng San Phork Khark See Monastery.
There are many benefits of food offering to the monks and one of them is longevity.
The following video is not very clear but it was the food offering at Kwang Meng San Monastery in 2010. Devotees will queue along the sides with food and about 100 monks will walk past us to accept our offerings. I shall post about this event and details at this website nearer the date. Only once a year.

浴佛偈
Posted by AUTUMN&WINTER on 05-05-2013, 12:19 PM :
On Vesak Day, Bathing Buddha Ceremony is one of the activity.
What can we learn by bathing the Buddha?
"We are now bathing all Buddhas, Pure and grand, complete in wisdom and virtues; May sentient beings be cleansed of the five impurities, All attaining Tathagata’s pure Dharmakaya."
我今灌沐诸如來 淨智庄严功德海 五浊众生离尘垢 同证如來净法身
To commemorate the Buddha's Birthday, Buddha's disciples usually hold a "Bathing the Buddha" Ceremony by setting up an altar with flower arrangements, placing a statue of Baby Buddha in the center, and making offerings while bathing the Buddha statue with fragrant water to show their great respect.
However, the true way of showing our respect is to purify our mind. By bathing the Buddha outside, it reminds us to cleanse away our worries, defilements, and delusions to reveal our intrinsic Buddha nature and become enlightened. Learning from the Buddha, following his teaching with right thought, right speech and right action, we are creating a Pure Land.

If you were to follow the Dhamma purely out of love for me or because you respect me, I would not accept you as disciple. But if you follow the Dhamma because you have yourself experienced its truth, because you understand and act accordingly - only under these conditions have you the right to call yourself a disciple of the Exalted One.

前世今生轮回的科学论证
Posted by Ethan_ on 29-04-2013, 8:27 AM :
Think nowadays in the western world more and more are beginning to accept that there is some form of life after death. Cause due to medical advances, they are saving more people back from medically dead situation and these people described that they can see themselves being saved, and seeing things in another world. So they are beginning to entertain the idea that beyond the death of physical body, there is a consciousness that continue on, a life beyond life. Think its becoming a former study of sort.

according to buddhist teaching , there are 84,000 ways of reaching enlightenment, and vipassana meditation is one of the ways. One conventional way to access your past life is thru hypnosis... and yet one must experience it to understand what another has experienced.
Yeah, there's a Taiwanese doctor who practised in U.S. said there was once he hypnotised his 2 white patients and realised that these patients knew how to speak ancient Chinese 文言文. This doctor is a Christian but due to his many experiences during his practice, he strongly believes in past lives and wrote a book titled 生命不死. He said there are many doctors were liked him encountered patients who were able to relate their past lives and many sicknesses were due to their past lives' experiences. He said last time doctors don't discuss openly but now they do.
