随想 (二)

不属于你的东西你 怎么都得不到。每个人都是独特的自己 没必要和别人比较在这个世上

只有自信永远陪伴着我们 辛辛苦苦去寻找的东西 往往就在我们身边

等待是一种经历 学会等待才能懂得幸福

我们自身的价值 源于对自己的认识

世间最容易的事 往往也是最难做的事 只要有足够的耐心

总能得到自己想要的 不必去羡慕他人 只需做好我们自己

自高自大的人 终究会露出破绽 在遇到危险时 菩萨往往就在我们身边

在没弄清事情真相前 不要妄下定论

不要看轻自己 要知道自己的价值所在

Wat Traimit 金佛寺传说

约在七百多年前，佛寺所在地本来颇为荒凉，后来华人逐渐聚居。他们把扔在慌山上，无人肯要的佛像雇车搬了回来。搬运时，佛像可拆卸成九节。几经周折，运抵寺后，佛身有一块铁壳掉下，露出里面金光闪闪的金身。把所有铁壳敲掉后，金光闪闪的完整佛身露了出来，因此名闻全国，后来人们才把该寺名为金佛寺。

另有一传说，这尊金佛建造於素可泰王朝，是泰国素可泰时代的艺术品，后来敌人入侵，为了防止金佛被当时外来入侵者掳走，爱国志士在其身上涂满灰泥，埋在土中达三百多年，后来被发掘出土，但因佛身涂了灰泥，不够美观，被供奉在湄公河岸的一间旧庙。后因庙址改建为仓库，在搬运金佛时不慎摔了一下，佛身灰泥脱落，显露出一尊形态栩栩如生的金佛，逐成为稀世珍宝，并运到曼谷寺内供奉，让信徒门膜拜顶礼。

此金佛是一尊有大约60%含金量的如来佛像，重5.5吨，高4米，盘坐的双膝相距约3米。佛寺位于曼谷唐人街。

Legendary Khun Paen

Khun Paen lived between 1491-1529. He was born in Suphanburi Province (some 70 km. northwest of Bangkok) but grew up in the close bordered Kanchanaburi Province, where the world wide well-known "Bridge over River Kwai" situated.


He was a disciple of Arjarn Kong, a magic-expert guru monk, for magical studies.


Based on old legends, Khun Paen was handsome and very attractive to ladies.
It's so he had many wives, and still many ladies fell in love with him. Khun Paen had magical knowledge. He used magic to make himself invulnerable and unseen to enemies, to change the marching track of the enemies to become labyrinthine field, and to change leaves of the tree to become wasps to sting enemies etc.By his skillful fighting, he was appointed by the king to be Khun or a high ranking military officer.

Once he was ordered to attach the city. The king of that city was the father of his second wife. She wanted to ask Khun Paen to stop attach her father's city but Khun Paen refused. His second wife tryed to poison him but got discovered by Khun Paen, he was very angry & took out a sword & kill her. But then he found out his wife got his baby, he felt vey sorry about it, then he took out the baby corpse from her body & burned it into a dry corpse. He then take this corpse with him wherever he went. He won all the war afterwards. In that time, people believed a dead baby corpse can help everything success. And that's how Gumangthong was found.

Khun Paen had wanted a protective spirit to watch over him in battle. To this end he cut the unborn foetus of his son from his dead wife’s womb and took it to a temple to perform an occult rite.

He wrapped the child’s torso in sacred cloth and roasted it on a fire whilst chanting ritual mantras and dark incantations to create the supernatural being with whom he could communicate.



His biography was far more extended and rather a fictitious story by poetic authors of the early Rattanakosin period or some 180 years ago. His baby-ghost son named Guman Thong, he used magic to create him from a dead baby in the dead Bua Klee's womb. Bua Klee was a Khun Paen's minor wife.

From the end of Ayutthaya legend, Khun Paen was one of best warlord. He was very clever in fighting, spell and flirt. Khun Paen had magic spell. He fosters ghost such as Hong Prai and Guman Thong. He was successful in Nirvana katha. Also, he was successful in the top of soul knowledge.

古曼童传说（二）

坤平将军杀死妻子后，剖开妻子的肚子取出胎儿，并将胎儿带到一间庙里。他升起一堆火，然后将胎儿的上半身用写有经文的布包起来，放在火上烤，直到胎儿的尸体变小，完全变乾。
整个过程中，坤平一直在念诵经文，当整个仪式结束，胎儿即变成一个可以和他说话交流，活蹦乱跳的灵魂，坤平于是为他取名为『古曼童』。后来，坤平在战争中每当遇到危急关头，古曼童就会出来帮忙，在那个使用武器打仗的年代，坤平用灵魂的法术来作战，因此百战百胜，所向披靡。

古曼童的传说一直流传到今天，在泰国就有一个僧人因为偷小孩的尸体来烘烤而被捕。其实很多高僧认为除了这样的方法，其实还有其他可以召唤古曼童灵魂的方法，起关键在于要完全的集中意念，并且不停地念诵经文。

古曼童是受过佛教洗礼的正灵，绝不害人，所以只要意识纯真，没有害人之心，供养古曼童，不但不必害怕，反而会为你带来益处。反之，如果供养者利用其来行恶，不但不会成功，反而会使自己的主运大下而自食其果，最后大祸临头而得不偿失！

Luang Pu Tuad Temple @ M'sia, Part 2

古曼童传说（一）

关于古曼童的由来，传说古曼童多是由泰国高僧或高深修行者所收养的童灵。这种童灵都是由于父母用各种不正当手法，如：堕胎，吃药及其他手段，把一个本来可以平安出世的胎儿弃掉，而市使胎儿的魂魄四处漂泊，被其他邪灵，魔怪欺负。高僧行者有见于此便大发慈悲之心，施法招魂，然后把这些流离失所的小孩魂魄注入金身内，并用佛法感化他们，又教会他们顾家，招财，运财达法，主要是与领养者结善缘。反之，如果以古曼童来做坏事就必定会有恶报。

須3和尚才搬得動‧2龍普托金身被偷

霹雳·宜力讯）安奉在爱育嘉拉龙普托圣塔的2尊龙普托金身和一个铜香炉失窃，估计损失逾10万令吉。品质优良的龙普托坐像由善信报效，需要出动3名和尚才能扛得动，故相信造案的宵小超過一人。园主羅昭勝（55歲）稱，他於周五（21日）晚上11點多离开龙普托聖塔，直到隔天早上7點才回來，不料卻發現圣塔的龙普托銅制坐像和塔前一個銅制大香炉不翼而飞，另一尊安奉在圣树神桌的佛像也不见了。

獅城台灣人也膜拜
他說，賊徒也偷走2個陶瓷大花瓶。“我將與愛育嘉拉佛教会負责人讨论，计划在午夜12点后上锁篱笆門，直到翌日天亮才开放，以避免偷窃事件重演。”愛育嘉拉龙普托圣塔於今年5月29日，由馬泰印3国共14名和尚联合主持开光大典，來自国內各地的善信闻訊而來，泰国、新加坡和台湾信徒也組团前來膜拜。龙普托聖塔四周也围起共有5道門的篱笆，24小時开放让善信膜拜。

光明日報‧2007.12.23

（ 唉。。难道把他偷回家就一定会让你如愿以偿，为什么那么自私，好好的一个地方就让那些自私自利的人给破坏了，神也好，佛也好，都是属于大家的，非法占为己有我想菩萨也会不高兴的。。罪过。。罪过。。）

爱育加拉龙普托圣塔

兩年前，印尼棉兰龙普托的一位信徒，不幸患上了絕症，他日夜祈求龙普托保佑，希望他的病能医好。一個晚上，他梦见了龙普托，並对他說：“我会助你渡过难关，但你病好后，一定要在我圆寂之处建立一間寺庙，让众善信膜拜。” 果然，他所患的绝症，不久便在一項手術中成功治癒了。他沒有忘記對龙普托的承諾，但卻不知要如何才能找到龙普托圆寂之处，他請教對龙普托有深入研究並且跟泰国高僧有密切來往的棉兰佛教界闻人李副暢（50歲）在李副暢的帶領下，印尼棉兰有好几位信徒，往返馬、泰、印三地，寻找龙普托圓寂之地。

他們首次前往泰国的一間著名寺庙時，不待他們開口，庙裡的高僧便已知道他們的來意，並告訴他們龙普托是在马來西亞上霹靂一帶圓寂的。 之后他們依高僧所說，沿著一段旧路，看到路旁胶园有一間简陋的小屋，屋旁有一口水井，住著一對夫妇，通过這對夫妇終于确定了圣僧龙普托圆寂的地点。

龙普托于1674年圆寂，至今已有333年，但其金身(圆寂火化之地)一直无法寻获，三百多年来无法解开的谜终于解开了，这项消息也震动了泰国佛教界，因此该庙在5月29日开光时，泰国特派出9位高僧到来，而印尼和马国则各派出2位高僧，共有13位高僧为该庙主持隆重的开光大典。

小寓言大智慧 (一)

“刺猬”法则
森林中有十几只刺猬冻得直发抖，它们只有紧紧地靠在一起,才能取暖，但它们因为忍受不了彼此的长刺,很快就各自跑开了。可是天气实在太冷了，它们又想靠在一起取暖,然而靠在一起时的刺痛,又使它们不得不再度分开。就这样反反复复地分了又聚,聚了又分,不断在受冻与挨扎两种痛苦之间挣扎，最后,刺猬们终于找出了一个适中的距离,可以让它们相互取暖而又不至于被刺伤。
大智慧：“刺猬”法则阐明了一个简单的道理：同事之间不可太过亲密,心灵可以是贴近的,但行动要注意保持距离。领导者要搞好工作,应该与下属在心理上保持亲密关系,这样做可以获得下属的尊重,同时还要注意与下属保持行动上的距离,避免在工作中丧失原则。

抉择

一个农民从洪水中救起了他的妻子，他的孩子却被淹死了。事后，人们议论纷纷。有的说他做得对，因为孩子可以再生一个，妻子却不能死而复活。有的说他做错了，因为妻子可以另娶一个，孩子却不能死而复活。我听了人们的议论，也感到疑惑难决：如果只能救活一人，究竟应该救妻子呢，还是救孩子？于是我去拜访那个农民，问他当时是怎么想的。他答道：“我什么也没想。洪水袭来，妻子在我身过，我抓住她就往附近的山坡游。当我返回时，孩子已经被洪水冲走了。”

归途上，我琢磨着农民的话，对自己说：所谓人生的抉择不少便是如此。

欺善怕恶

世间上的人，有善人、有恶人；世间上的事，有好事、有坏事。善人做好事，容易被人欺负；恶人做坏事，

总能令人畏服。
善人做好事，虽然被欺负、被压迫、被为难，这只是一时的，最后善人终会胜利，不会被人打倒；

恶人做坏事，有人怕他、帮他、随他，这也是一时的，最后恶贯满盈时，即使没有人去打倒恶人，

恶人也会自己倒了下来。有的时候，善人做好事却遭遇不幸；有的时候恶人做坏事，却是荣华富贵。

其实，所谓「善有善报，恶有恶报；不是不报，时候未到。」因果不能只看一时.

有一个寓言故事说，有一恶人过河，因桥被水冲走，便将庙里的木雕神像扛来做桥，垫脚而过。

事被一位善士所见，不禁直喊：罪过！罪过！怎可如此亵渎神像！於是赶快把神像送回寺院，

并且供以香花、水果。这时神像却开口要求善士添油香，善士质问道：「恶人毁坏你，你不责怪他；

我保护你，你怎可反而要我添油香呢？」
神像说：「因为他是恶人，我何必惹他？因为你是善人，我怎可不叫你做好事呢？」

所以，做好事的人，心里要有准备，更要有正确的认识；因为行善看起来是吃亏，

但最后总是会得到好报的。所以，做好事的人不要灰心，因为天理昭彰，善恶好坏，因果必然是丝毫不爽的！

平时要烧香

俗语说：「平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚。」有的考生平时不用功，到了考试的时候，才加紧开夜车；

也有一些做生意的人平时没有结交善友，不肯与人结缘，到了要做事的时候，才急著到处求人，

向人拜托。

所谓「平时不烧香，临时抱佛脚」，就是意谓著：春天不播种，秋来那能有收成呢？ 

话说有一个长工，看到主人拥有一尊金佛，每日礼拜，心中慨叹自己无钱，连想要拜佛都没有机会。

有一天，趁著主人不在家，自己悄悄的走到佛像前面礼拜。但是事有不巧，被主人看到了，

而且厉声责骂他：「你有什么资格拜我的金佛？」长工不得已，后来在砍柴的时候利用一根木材，

他就动手刻了一尊佛像，供在自己简陋的住处礼拜。当主人发觉他的家中人来人往，

原来大家都到他的家里礼拜木佛。主人非常生气与嫉妒，声言要让金佛与木佛比斗。

当比赛开始后，初时两佛推挤，势均力敌；但过不了多久，金佛渐渐屈居下风，

终至不敌木佛而倒地不起。主人就责怪金佛：「为什么你连木制的佛像都不如？」

金佛说：「主人呀！你看那一尊木佛，每天有多少的信徒带著供果前往上香礼拜，

他受了那么多的香火，自然力气充足；我虽然是金佛，但是你每天都没有礼拜供养，

所以我敌不过木佛而不支倒地，这是再自然不过的事了，你有什么好奇怪的呢！」  

这虽然是一则笑话，但说明凡一件事的成败，都有它前面的因缘。你平时用功读书，

自然就能金榜题名；你平时勤劳耕种，当然秋冬必定能丰收！你平时结缘助人，必要的时候，

别人也会成为你的助缘。

甚至即使是佛祖，也要靠平时的烧香供养：

有烧香礼拜，即使是木佛，他也能胜过金佛呢！

朋友四类

古人说：「近朱者赤，近墨者黑。」又说：「人和人好，鬼和鬼好，苍蝇和烂腿好。」所以交朋友很重要，结交什么样的朋友，对自己的一生往往产生难以估量的影响，因此不能不慎。
什么人才是我们应该结交的好朋友呢？孔老夫子说：「友直、友谅、友多闻。」什么是坏朋友呢？孔夫子也说：「友便僻、友善柔、友便佞。」邪曲谄媚、吃喝玩乐的朋友，没安好心，不值得交往；朋友之间，要能学习、效法，才是益友。
尤其，朋友之交贵在知心，自古以来，所谓交友，要交知心的朋友、要交肝胆相照的朋友、要交患难与共的朋友、要交推衣解食的朋友、要交有侠义心肠的朋友，千万不要结交酒肉朋友。

在佛教的《孛经》里，提到朋友有四等，所谓「有友如地，有友如山，有友如花，有友如秤」，此中好的有两等，坏的也有两等：

• 有友如花：如花的朋友，好看时把你戴在头上，不好看的时候就把你踩在地下，这是一种势利小人，不能同甘共苦、患难与共，跟这种人交朋友，他只会利用你，于他有用则交，无用则拒，所以交到如花的朋友，都是短暂的，不能友谊长存。
• 有友如秤：秤，称之为「度量衡」，可以等量轻重，这种朋友，当你富贵贤达的时候，他就看重你；当你没有功名富贵以后，他就看轻你，完全不看重你的道德、人品、智慧，只是以小人的势利眼来观察你，就如秤砣一样，你重他就低头，你轻他就昂首，所以这也是一种不能平等相交的朋友。
• 有友如山：好朋友要像高山一样，友谊坚固。你看，一座高大的山林，有许多树木花草，才能成为丛林，山里藏着各种野兽，上面有飞禽聚集，如山的好朋友就是有德、有学，有生死不异的涵容修养，因此飞禽走兽、各种人等，都欢喜归向于他。
• 有友如地：大地能普载万物、能生长万物、能储藏万物，所以交这种如地的朋友，他自己谦卑低下，容许我们获得他的资助、好处，他帮助我们成长，关怀、包容我们的一切，并且无怨无悔的付出，从来不会嫌弃我们。但是，如果你作孽太多，他也会生气而天摇地动。

人生不能没有朋友，我们应该结交什么样的朋友呢？以上如花、如秤、如山、如地的朋友，可以做为我们择友的参考。

闲话

闲话，既曰「闲话」，有时是一种废话、空话、谎话，甚至是杂话、脏话、烂话、坏话、假话，所以归纳曰「闲话」。  

一句闲话，很好的朋友可能因此结下永世的仇恨； 

一句废话，本来无事，可能惹下无边的风波； 

一句坏话，可能破坏了多年建立的同事情谊； 

一句空话，可能让人看清你的价值多少； 

一句谎话，可能让人鄙视你的人格，不耻你的为人。  

最好的语言，就是不说！然而不说，太过消极。人应该积极的说好话，说善良的话，说慈悲的话，

说赞美人的话，说成就人的话。  人，有喜欢说闲话的习惯，闲话必然会惹来不可想像的结果，

所以孔老夫子说：不当说的不说，不当看的不看，不当听的不听，这就聪明多了。

我就认识了那么一对夫妇,女人为了达到自己的目的,破坏了男人和朋友之间的友情,开始我很愤怒

,为什么要为了圆谎而去害人,但事后我想,真正要怪的是那个宁愿相信她也不睁开眼睛看清楚

的男人,我们应该同情那个因她而去怀疑自己朋友的可怜虫.今天的我们,并没有因为失去这段

友谊而感到难过,因为他们不值得我们去在意了, 对他的关心,也在2006年的六月随风而逝 . 

我们看今日的社会人士，聪明的人都是想过以后才开口，愚笨的人则说过之后才回想。

想和说应该有先后的次序，先想后说，想好了再说。尤其，一个人应该知道，当说话的时候要说，

不当说话的时候要沉默。说话最大的罪恶，就是说无意义的话，说不知强为知的话，

尤其造谣诬人，更是罪大恶极。冷饭冷菜好吃，冷言冷语令人听了难受。

所以，闲话之外，应该多说实话、真话、有用的话，能说有建设性的话，才有价值。

Rahula, Son of Gautama Buddha

Rāhula (b. c. 534BC) was the only son of Siddhartha Gautama (Pāli: Siddhattha Gotama), and Princess Yasodhara. He was born on the same day that Prince Siddhartha Gautama left the palace to seek Enlightenment and later become the Buddha. He was named Rahula by his grandfather because the first word Prince Siddhattha said on hearing about the birth of His son was Rahu, which means obstacle.
Accordingly the child was named Rāhula, meaning "fetter", recognizing that the child could be a tie that bound him to his wife Yasodhara and the comforts of the life of a householder.
In the Dhammapada, the pleasure and joy that a man receives in his wife and children is called a 'soft fetter that ties individuals to life and suffering, not just through eventual loss and separation of loved ones but more deeply and subtly may act as ties to cyclic existence (samsara).
Rāhula was raised by his mother and grandfather, King Suddhodana. When he was seven years old, the Buddha returned to his home city of Kapilavatthu at the request of his father who missed him dearly. On the seventh day of his return, Yasodharā took Rāhula to see his father, the Buddha. She told Rāhula that since his father had renounced the palace life and as he was the next royal prince in line, he should ask his father for his inheritance of crown and treasure for his future sake when his grandfather would no longer rule the kingdom.
After the meal, Rāhula followed the Buddha, saying �� "Give me my inheritance." Nobody tried to stop him, nor did the Buddha prevent him from following Him. He then looked at his father and said, "Lord, even your shadow is pleasing to me."
Reaching the Park of Nigrodha, where the Buddha was staying, the Buddha thought to himself: "He desires his father's inheritance, but it is wrought with troubles. I shall give him the benefit of my spiritual Enlightenment and make him an owner of a transcendental inheritance."
The Buddha called Venerable Sariputta and asked him to ordain little Rāhula who became the first Samanera (novice monk).
Shortly after Rahula's ordination the Buddha taught him the importance of telling the truth. This discourse is known as theRahulovada Sutta. The Buddha placed truth as the highest of all virtues. The seekers of Truth, (those who have as their goal Nibbana) should not break the precept of Truth.
Rāhula subsequently became one among the many arhants through following the Buddha's teachings.
Rahula passed away before the Buddha, Sariputta and Moggallana. The Buddha declared that Rahula was foremost among the monks for his high standard of discipline and obedience. Rahula, who had entered the order at the tender age of seven, was a role model for the younger members of the Noble Order through his obedience and pleasing nature.

TIBETANS RAHULA

Rahula is known to Tibetans simply as Za. He is half serpent and half humanoid. The lower part of his body is coiled and his upper body is dark red and covered with a thousand eyes, all of which glare balefully. In the pit of his stomach is a cavernous mouth which, with the eyes of his upper body, give the feeling that his whole torso is a massive glaring face. He has nine heads, arranged in three tiers of three, each with three bulging eyes. A great breath of sickness is believed to issue from their fanged mouths. From the crown of the topmost head issues the black, cawing head of a raven.
A human skin is draped over his back. His principal weapon is a bow fashioned from a venomous serpent. In his remaining left hand he holds a writhing sea-serpent and the right holds a goad which guides us to righteous action.
According to ancient Indian mythology, Rahu (Rahula) was a titan who disguised himself and tried to steal the nectar of immortality from the gods. The sun and the moon both exposed him to Vishnu who promptly cut off his head. It is believed that Rahu avenges himself by periodically swallowing up the sun and the moon, thus causing eclipses. He is hence known as the Lord of Eclipses. Indeed with its myriad eyes his dark body is reminiscent of the starry night sky. The gaping mouth in his belly symbolizes his swallowing-up of sun and moon.
Esoterically, with his believed links extending into the depths of the cosmos, Rahula is traditionally invoked to avert negative astrological circumstances.
