traders reluctant to sell that old ax to comfort him, said: , sobbing, said: how do I not sad? said: days ago, I played two successive Foqi. home, sir, regardless of the family blame me, it will not let me out.
She said: go back, sir, do not curse me out to say. Two days later, I told him to play Foqi Kaohsiung, sir, are not causes for my house tidy and go to. the first two days home, they had a big meal! afterwards I feel very bad, that the activities of Hualien to play Foqi, thinking worship Buddha, the mood may be more cheerful. .

He at Tzu Chi Hospital run hospital procedures, they and much to the monastery to see me.
He said: We participate in Tzu Chi 』『. I have always had a wish, hoping to see 』『 Tzu: The surgery, completed just one of two would like to. word, to tell him how to eliminate the industry?
I said: br> Then, after him, I went to the hospital to see him, was asked the doctor: he was awake yet? really happened, he woke up when I spoke, and immediately he said: br> I asked him: . if you want to eliminate karma, do not suffer pain.

I asked: 』.stupidity are often carefully build sturdy walls, confined himself;
wisdom are able to tear down this wall, so that the personnel is more harmony.
ancient times there was a chin-shih Chang Britain, Germany and profound learning, won the Emperor esteem.
Once he patrolling with the Emperor Quartet. next door neighbor would take the opportunity to knock down the two shared a wall, will be extended three feet of his house. Scholars son can not stop, had to write to please his father back home treatment.
Zhang Ying read a letter from his son since and did not leave to return home, only to send his son wrote a poem:
miles Letter to the wall only,
him three feet a lot?
still ringing in the Great Wall today,
not see then emperor.
son received the letter, no longer held. the neighbor that Zhang Ying was removed write such a letter, Heart ashamed! not only returned The original three feet of land, but also automatic withdrawal of the feet.
Zhang returned home after the British to see this situation and would not be entitled to recover its own three feet of land, so it became a neighborhood known for Tzu Chi hospital.
knife the next day she was finished, I went to the hospital to visit. When the room door open, did not see the patient in bed, because she is sitting in a chair beside the window.
I said: has been completed, and the body does not feel any pain in the evening I had the toilet on their own. Here's physician is not only highly skilled, and very caring. The chanting sound, how you can hear a clear and forget the pain of surgery, it is your sincere sense ah! forgive once, a little more blessing.
years ago, one day, my mother called to Hualien, told me a very sad thing that she was my little brother mm was missed in the military killed. mother ask me how to do?
At the time, I was to console his mother:
would not encounter such a situation. your mind should be converted, for the sake of that missed the killer's mother, her mood will be more painful than you! because her heart in addition to extreme guilt, the more afraid of her children would be subjected to stringent disposal. manipulation of her child's fate is in your hands; as long as you an idea of compassion, sought acquittal for the child, you can put him a way out. brother has passed away, you should universal love for all living beings the Buddha's heart, others child is your child ah! you must patrol missed victimizes the people your son. : extremely grateful to; more to the young man a chance of rehabilitation.
value underestimate the importance of pain pain, that is, sell yourself; look down on their own to not go beyond.
one Tzu Chi member died from lung cancer she did not hear before Buddhism, has complained that their experiences; contact with Tzu Chi, I often heard saying: I then thought: lot easier. I should've listened to the words of the master. She admitted to the intensive care unit.

He listened carefully and heard a very clear verse Man: mind like The results found in Shen Jian, there are array smoke float upward; soon, there have been ugly face of a ghost; his eyes as big as a bell, neck is very small, but big belly like a drum.
practitioner see this ghost, I felt no fear. He thought: If people around can not find, then, just the sound of a ghost who must be issued to, since he will get half of the Jiwen, it must be Students in the past had received the teachings of saints.
So, he said piously: Professor Duan Jiwen the other half to me please? I taught you the other half of the course, no problem! but I have not eaten for a long time, and stomach hungry!
