善業音樂故事

我们家信仰佛教，母亲常年坚持吃素，在母亲的影响下我也走入了佛门。我们所居住的小区有许多流浪猫，我们常常会在晚饭的时候，用铁盘装上食物放在路边给流浪猫提供晚餐，有时是猫粮、有时是鱼，每天都会有不少猫定时过来进餐，这样的行为我们已坚持数年，过来进餐的猫猫也有好几代了，我们看着猫妈妈大着肚子来吃饭，到猫妈妈带着小猫们来一起吃饭，再到小猫们长大了独自过来吃饭，如此往复，在它们身上我们不仅看到了像人类家庭一样的家庭地位，也看到了小猫对父母的孝敬、尊敬之心，这让我们不仅感概众生的灵性，也时常反思自己的言行，并对佛教中所说的“世间众生皆为我父、皆为我母”有了更深的了解。

一次看到公路中间有一小块木头，把小木头拿到路边，清除路障，方便车辆行驶

上班路上，遇到一条小的流浪狗，买了馒头喂它

聽佛教音樂可以洗滌心靈

Been raised in a “Buddhist-like” – by that, I mean those who believe in Buddhism without knowing what Buddhist teachings and practices are – Chinese family, I had many times of going to temples with my family and performing bowing and praying. While most Chinese like my Grandma and Mom are praying before Buddha’s statue for their own benefits and good look to their family, I never did the same. Instead, I always prayed for World’s Peace and happiness of all sentient beings and I found inner harmony and deep delight while doing so. Now, I read about “No Pursuit of Self-Benefit” and that is what guided me before and I will take this guideline further and help as many people as I can in the future. One example is I found recently that so many Chinese international students abroad, US and Australia in particular, are under depression and I’ve been encouraging them to think positively and don’t be too harsh on themselves. I know my ability is limited at the moment but I wish I can one day commit myself into practicing great compassion like Bodhisattva.

曾经阴差阳错，有为期一个月左右的牢狱之灾。其中每日默念心经，坚持打坐，辅以称念佛号、观世音菩萨名号。发愿过此一劫定要好好修行，不要贪恋追逐红尘中的幻象。最后无罪释放。随喜赞叹每位发愿成佛的道友。要有信心！

小插曲，出去之前的狱友午睡梦到我于一雨天被释放，梦境真实，醒来便告诉了我！（就知道观世音菩萨听到心中的祈求。）
释放的当晚确实大雨滂沱！在我打完坐念完心经过后，就有人来带我出去了。

开车时、登山时、在电梯内、或有人积聚的场所时，有时我会想起默念六字大明咒祈求大家都能早日成就菩萨道业。
