萬法歸一 All Dharmas returns one


這是我們的朋友,在覺修寺工作了很久的家務助理Lilian的分享。

Lilian的家在菲律賓,可是她跟丈夫的關係很惡劣。去年,她的孫兒患了很嚴重的腦膜炎,須要入院留醫。當她知道此消息,她很憂慮,變得六神無主。由於待在覺修寺的日子不淺,她也學懂了一些佛法。她決定為她的孫兒每天作禮佛108拜。

本明法師為了鼓勵她,送了一部唸佛計算機給她數算拜佛的次數。於是她開始禮佛。每當她完成一拜她就按一下唸佛機,過了15分鐘,她查核唸佛機,發現機上只顯示“1”!她很詫異,不相信禮佛了15分鐘怎麼可能只拜了一下!她於是走去問師父為什麼及應如何是好?

師父報以她一笑並說,「這是正確的!萬法歸一嘛!」突然間,Lilian有一些領會。她繼續保持每天禮佛。過了數天,她致電她的媳婦,得知她孫兒已無恙並正在康復中。她明瞭到佛法真的可以幫到她及她家人,她亦因此修補了同丈夫的關係。

今年,她決定了辭去覺修寺的工作回到菲律賓與家人團聚。她亦已決定了離港前會持五戒。在此,我們祝願她有喜樂的人生及和諧美滿的家庭!


This story is shared by our friend Lilian, who works as a Helper in Gak Su Temple for some years.

Her family is in Philippines, but her relationship with her husband was poor. Last year her grandson was suffering from serious meningitis and stayed in hospital. When she heard this news, she was so worried and did not know what to do. Having staying at Gak Su for years, she learnt some Dharma though. She decided to bow 108 times each day for her grandson. 

As an encouragement, Bon Myong Sunim gave her a mantra counter so that she could count her bows. Then she started bowing and she pressed the counter button once with her every bow. After 15 minutes, she checked the counter, the figure shown was only one! She was stunned, she thought that was impossible to have only one bow after 15 minutes bowing! She then went to Sifu and asked why and what should she do? 

Sifu gave her a smile and said, "That's correct! All Dharmas returns one!" Suddenly, Lilian realized something. She just kept doing her bows. Then after some days, she phoned her daughter-in-law and knew that her grandson was fine and in good condition. She understood that Dharma can help her and her family. She thus fixed her relationship with her husband.

This year she decided to quit the job in Gak Su and go back to Philippines to stay together with her family. She also decided to take five precepts before she leave Hong Kong. May we here wish her a joyful life and her family in harmony."
