The Price Of Turning A Deaf Ear忠言逆耳的代價

阿彌陀佛，玳瑚師父在這裡祝天下的所有父親，父親節快樂。

孝順的原理，不是建立在「方便」兩個字裡。

無論在不方便或方便的情況下，我們身爲子女的，都一定要明白，有父母才有我們。

我們小時候大小便，不能夠自己打理，需要父母。初生嬰兒沒有父母或任何人照顧，出生七天就會身亡了。

很多很多的原因下，我們都必需得竭盡所能報答父母的養育之恩。而這不過是一個人要報答的其中一個恩而已，我們其實還有其他恩要報，比如說，國恩、師恩、地恩、眾生恩等等。

但是父母恩很重要，所以佛教有部經典《佛說父母恩重難報經》，大家可以去參考這部經典。

祝大家父母雙親還在的時候，努力地去盡孝。不要等她他們百年歸去時，才再她他們的墳前哭啼。那時已沒有用，因爲已經過去了，不會再回來，留下祇是「業障」兩個字。

因此，大家有智慧一點點，孝順要趁早。有父母在旁，等於有兩尊佛。爲什麼呢？因爲孝順父母的功德是妳你無法想像的偉大。

 

 

 

 

Amitabha! Master Dai Hu would like to wish all fathers a Happy Father’s Day.

The principle of filial piety is not built on the foundation of convenience.

Even if it may be inconvenient, it is our duty as a child to be filial. Remember, without our parents, we will not exist.

When we were still a child, we need our parents to tend to us, to keep us clean. A newborn will die within 7 days if there are no parents to take care of him.

There are many reasons why we must always strive our best to repay the debt of our parents’ raising us up in life. And this debt of gratitude is not the only debt you need to repay. There are the debts to your country, to your teachers, to Mother Earth, to all sentient beings, etc.

The gratitude to our parents is especially important, and the Buddha expounded on this in The Sutra About The Deep Kindness Of Parents and The Difficulty of Repaying It. Everyone can study this Sutra.

I wish everyone would be filial while your parents are still alive. Do not wait till they have passed on and suffer the regret and remorse. By that time, it would have been futile because it would be all over. You cannot turn back the clock, and all that’s left is the karma.

Thus, please act with wisdom and start now being fillial to your parents. Your parents at home are actually Buddhas, therefore filial piety is a virtuous act with immeasurable merits.
