..續本文上一頁全敞開，所以透進我房間的陽光不是沒有，而是很少。但接觸師父的法以後，心開了，信增加了，所以佛光就照耀了，智慧就增長了，福報就增長了，法喜充滿了。我想我們在座好多同修有共同的體會，參加了這個佛七以後，我們會發現我們和以前不同在哪裏，就是信心的變化。因爲信心的變化，我們在心理和生理方面有很大的改善，心情輕松了、開闊了，身體好多疾病也沒有了。而且最重要的，有好多老菩薩說：對往生有信心，有把握了。過去我們聽到一些方法，怎麼樣往生？很多老菩薩，越修越沒有信心往生，越修越擔心未來，有沒有啊？所以我非常感恩上仁下煥師父把這個法帶到我們這邊來，更感恩我們的海山老和尚和方丈覺行大和尚慈悲的胸懷，寬廣的胸懷，利益衆生的胸懷，把仁煥師父請到我們這裏來，讓我們這一帶的衆生有福了。

　　For my own case, I had a little faith in Buddhism originally, but the switch was not fully turned on, it was like a half open door, not fully closed, while not fully open as well, so the sunshine that sprayed in my room was little, very little. But when I got my master”s teaching, my heart opened, and my faith increased, therefore, I had enough light from Buddha; my wisdom increased, my blessings increased, and I am filled with bliss from Dharma. I believe many fellow practitioners around here have some common experience, and after we participated in this 7 Day Convention of Buddhism, we will find out the change from the past, which is the change of faith. Because of the change of faith, we improve greatly psychologically and physically---- we are more relaxed, our heart is more open, and many diseases in our body disappear. Most importantly, many old practitioners said they have faith in rebirth in the pure land, and they are secured. We have ever heard of some methods on how to be reborn into the pure land. Many old practitioners have less and less faith in it, and they are worried about their future more and more, right

　　 So I appreciated respected Master RENHUAN for his bring this method to us, and many thanks to our Old Monk HAISHAN and Abbot Old Monk JUEXING for their merciful mind, broad mind, and a mind of how to benefit the beings. For their kindness, respected Master REN HUAN was invited to this temple, and the beings around have the bliss.

　　你們參加這個佛七得到好處沒有啊？(大衆：有！)要不要請仁煥師父再來？(大衆大聲回答：要！)大家有這樣的呼聲，我們慈悲、智慧、胸懷寬廣的覺行大和尚早就爲大家著想了，已經提前爲大家祈請仁煥師父在今年再來我們這裏。(大衆熱烈鼓掌)大家同意了，表現在掌聲上，在呼聲上，更重要的是我們要表現在信心上，表現在念佛上，要念出成果來，念出歡喜來，我想這樣師父才歡喜到我們這裏來，對不對啊？我們還要去改變自己，把缺點改了，把罪業忏悔了，把一些不好的習氣、行爲改了，影響到我們的家庭，影響到我們的團體，影響到我們的社會，用這種方法來報答仁煥師父不遠千裏來我們這裏傳法。

　　Have you benefited from this 7 Day Convention of Buddhism

　　 (Audience: Yes!) Do you want to invite Master RENHUA to come again

　　 (Audience answered loudly: Yes!) For your strong wish, our merciful, wise, and broadminded Old Monk JUEXING has considered about this earlier for you, and he has invited Master RENHUAN to come here again for us this year. (The audience applauded loudly) You agreed with your applause, voice, but most importantly your faith to chant Amitabha. I think if you can get good result in chanting Amitabha with happiness, master will be happy to come here, right

　　 So we need to change ourselves, to get rid of our shortcomings, to repent for our sins. When we get rid of our bad habit, behavior, we can influence our family, our community, and our society, which is the best way to repay Master RENHUAN to teach us regardless of the long distance.

　　下次來啊，我們在方方面面都要有所改善。我想下一次如果來的話，大家先報告：我回去是如何影響家庭的。影響家庭不是回去就叫你家裏人念佛，也不是回去就按著你的家人磕頭，那樣會起反作用。影響家庭是師父給我們開示的守本分，把自己做好。然後家人一看，唉，他怎麼念了幾天佛就變了呢？那個佛一定很好，我要准備信了。對不對啊？我們自己沒有做好，就想叫別人做，那是不行的。

　　Next time when he comes, we should have progress in many aspects. I suppose next time when he comes, we make reports first on how we influence our family. To influence the family doesn”t mean that you ask the family members to chant Amitabha as soon as you get back home, nor you ask your family members to bow, which can only cause negative influence. To influence the family in master”s teaching means to play our own role, behave ourselves well. When our family members notice our change, they will wonder why he changes after learning Buddhism for a few days. He would think Buddhism must be very good, and he would plan to have a try. Isn”t it

　　 If we don”t do well…
