..續本文上一頁, how can we ask others to practise

　　 That doesn”t work if so.

　　記得我在行腳的路中，走到湖北枝江市，有一個女公務員，帶著她老公(律師)，帶著他的兒子(高一學生)，來加入到我的行腳當中。這個律師的老婆跟我說：“他老公最愛就是打麻將。”他跟著我走了一天，然後聽我講了一點，回去以後有個老板請他打麻將，他說：“我不打麻將了。”那個老板就說：“喲，跟菩薩走一天就變了！”我並沒有叫他不打麻將，是他自己不打麻將的，我們要用行爲來影響他，不是光用嘴巴來教別人。所以我們回去了要把學到的喜悅帶給家人，要每天有笑臉，要歡歡喜喜的，贊歎別人，誇獎家人，這樣家裏人才知道我們學佛有變化，才知道我們不是迷信。所以啊，不要以爲我們學佛學得很久就學得好，有時候學得越久越迷信，學得越久越糊塗，學了那麼久結果沒有得到利益，所以我們這次在佛會上得到各種各樣的利益，真的要心懷感恩。

　　I remember during the course of my march, when I got to Zhijiang city in Hubei province, a lady joined my march with her husband and son. This lady told me that his husband loved playing mahjong very much. He walked with me for a whole day, and listened to some of my speeches. When he returned home, a boss invited him to play mahjong, and he said "I don”t play mahjong again". The boss said" My goodness, you changed after walking with the bodhisattva only for a whole day!" In fact, I didn”t ask him not to play mahjong, and it is he who was unwilling to play mahjong again. We should use our behavior to influence him, not teach with our mouth. Therefore, when we return home, we should bring happiness to the family members with smiles every day, admire and praise others pleasantly, then our family members will know that we change after learning Buddhism, and they will know that Buddhism is not superstition. So the level of learning Buddhism has nothing to do with time. Sometimes, the longer time, the more superstition, and more confusion, for you haven”t got anything good although you have learnt for a long time. So we really feel grateful for this convention since we have benefited a lot so far.

　　我再給大家講一個故事。在成都有一個公司叫華西生態集團，那個老板娘已經有一個小男孩了，她希望再生一個女孩，我說你就跟觀音菩薩求啊，真的就求了個女孩。可是，在孩子出生以前，臨産的時候，她住進了醫院，醫生一做B超，告訴她，孩子的心髒缺一塊。這個媽媽就非常害怕，我知道了就給她打電話說：“你不要相信醫生的，現在就相信我。”爲什麼相信我呢？因爲我還是個和尚嘛——不看僧面看佛面。我叫她相信佛，可是佛又不會對她講話，所以我沒辦法就叫她相信我，所以要理解啊。

　　Tell you another story. There is a company in Chengdu, and the boss had already had a son, but she still wanted to have a daughter, so I told her to seek help from Avalokitesvara, and she really conceived a girl. However, before the baby was born, she went to the hospital, and after careful check with b-ultrasound, the doctor told her, that there was a missing piece in the baby”s heart. This mom was very frightened, and I called and tell her not to trust the doctor, but me now. Why me

　　 For I am a monk---even not for my sake, but for the Buddha”s sake. I told her to trust the Buddha, but since Buddha didn”t speak to her, so it was difficult to make her believe me, so you should understand.

　　我就跟她講很多例子，包括我身上的例子，我身上就有一個苦難，或者叫一個病，本來活得好好的，大家說去檢查一下，我就去檢查，一檢查，指標就有問題，一看到有問題就害怕，一害怕就痛起來了，本來那個地方好好的，一點感覺都沒有。後來痛了我十幾年啊，這就是信心的力量，是壞信心的力量。我還給她講了一些道理，然後說：“第一不要相信檢查結果；第二，趕快念觀世音菩薩，求菩薩保佑，讓孩子趕快好起來。”我就拼命鼓舞她的信心，讓她堅決不要相信檢查結果，堅決依靠觀世音菩薩。我跟她說：“比如現在有一群壞人，來到你們家門口，敲門了，你要不要開啊？(大衆：不開。)你們太有智慧了，但是往往好多人就開門了，開了還說一句話：“請進。”所以壞人就進來了。我跟她說：“你堅決不承認檢查結果就是不開門，聽懂沒有？”光不開門不行啊，因爲壞人在外面可以用工具把門撬開，那你躲在屋裏怎麼辦啊？這個事情我們仁煥師父開示過——打110。這邊不開門，那邊打110，兩個方法就解決了。好好念觀音菩薩就是打110。

　　I told her many cases, including the case in myself. I had a trouble, or disease. I lived well, but people asked me to have a check, then I went to have a check. I had a problem in the index after the check. I felt frightened at the problem, and felt painful. In fact, it was originally alright there and I didn”t feel anything different. After the check, the pain lasted more than ten years, and this is the power of faith, for me, the power of negative faith. I also told her some truth, and said: "firstly, don”t trust the result of the test; secondly, call the name of Avalokitesvara, pray for blessings to make the baby alright soon " So I just gave her courage, tell her not trust the result and trust Avalokitesvara firmly. I told her " It is like there is a gang of bad people at your door, knocking at your door, can …
