..续本文上一页全敞开，所以透进我房间的阳光不是没有，而是很少。但接触师父的法以后，心开了，信增加了，所以佛光就照耀了，智慧就增长了，福报就增长了，法喜充满了。我想我们在座好多同修有共同的体会，参加了这个佛七以后，我们会发现我们和以前不同在哪里，就是信心的变化。因为信心的变化，我们在心理和生理方面有很大的改善，心情轻松了、开阔了，身体好多疾病也没有了。而且最重要的，有好多老菩萨说：对往生有信心，有把握了。过去我们听到一些方法，怎么样往生？很多老菩萨，越修越没有信心往生，越修越担心未来，有没有啊？所以我非常感恩上仁下焕师父把这个法带到我们这边来，更感恩我们的海山老和尚和方丈觉行大和尚慈悲的胸怀，宽广的胸怀，利益众生的胸怀，把仁焕师父请到我们这里来，让我们这一带的众生有福了。

　　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.

　　你们参加这个佛七得到好处没有啊？(大众：有！)要不要请仁焕师父再来？(大众大声回答：要！)大家有这样的呼声，我们慈悲、智慧、胸怀宽广的觉行大和尚早就为大家着想了，已经提前为大家祈请仁焕师父在今年再来我们这里。(大众热烈鼓掌)大家同意了，表现在掌声上，在呼声上，更重要的是我们要表现在信心上，表现在念佛上，要念出成果来，念出欢喜来，我想这样师父才欢喜到我们这里来，对不对啊？我们还要去改变自己，把缺点改了，把罪业忏悔了，把一些不好的习气、行为改了，影响到我们的家庭，影响到我们的团体，影响到我们的社会，用这种方法来报答仁焕师父不远千里来我们这里传法。

　　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.

　　下次来啊，我们在方方面面都要有所改善。我想下一次如果来的话，大家先报告：我回去是如何影响家庭的。影响家庭不是回去就叫你家里人念佛，也不是回去就按着你的家人磕头，那样会起反作用。影响家庭是师父给我们开示的守本分，把自己做好。然后家人一看，唉，他怎么念了几天佛就变了呢？那个佛一定很好，我要准备信了。对不对啊？我们自己没有做好，就想叫别人做，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…
