以茶會友 – 第九場 ：圓智溫宵聚慶佳節9th Recap : 2016 CNY Lantern Festival Tea Session With Master Dai Hu
2016年二月二十三日，元宵圓夜，玳瑚師父在新加坡文华东方酒店的MELT ~ The World 咖啡廳，舉辦了《圓智溫宵聚慶佳節茶會》。有位七十五嵗高齡的老婦人，前來賀年學習，玳瑚師父體恤老婦人，把原先的茶會地點換到更明亮的咖啡廳。
茶會前，師父問了一些出席者，爲何會前來學習。二度出席的林先生，侃侃而談地說出，從上次的茶會學到，到一個餐廳，就應該消費。當初本來爲了省錢，只叫白水。從師父的教導，才明白這是一種佔便宜，既然使用別人的地方，理應就該消費，是一種尊敬經營者的禮貌行爲。
茶會精彩回顧：
一、出席者給師父過年紅包意義何在？
二、人要運動，才會有很清晰的思維，才能做很大的事情。
三、十二生肖和木星的關聯

二十四、哪六畜不宜多吃？
玳瑚師父談孝親的真實義：
二十五、孝順，不是每個月給父母錢而已，也應該認知父母八字的所需，爲她他的未來做更好的策劃。
二十六、八十嵗的老太婆，無法用風水幫助她太多，祗能用佛法幫她去更好的境界。
二十七、父母在彌留狀況時，妳你應該做什麽？
現場答客問：
二十八、玳瑚師父說中某出席者所攻讀的課程，對事業無益，出席者詢問自己該讀什麽。
二十九、顯教的早晚課，是誦何經咒？
三十、同事妻子數度流產，應該怎麽辦？
等等。
玳瑚師父感嘆太多人學佛學不好，因爲起跑點錯了。他解釋認真要學佛的人爲何應該皈依，並提醒大家，學佛是爲了要成佛，不是爲了要自己和家人好。
有些人會入魔，因爲不能夠制止自己的貪，一直要，要不到，就發狂成魔。她他們卻不懂得抱握時間和機會做功德， 沒有發菩提心，做幫助人的事，如何會得到大福呢？
很多人在2016年裡都希望過得比去年好，想擁有更多的錢，得財神的眷顧。 天下沒有白吃的午餐。 不是妳你的，不要貪，不要拿，不要偷。別以爲沒人知，天知地知，妳你身上的鬼神都知。 玳瑚師父贈給大家一句話： 君子求財，取之有道，不義之財雖到手，無限後患跟著來。
玳瑚師父期待大家丙申年裡，好好地運用在茶會所學的知識，下次再見時，願大家身上善光湧現。
On 23 February 2016, the night of the Lantern Festival, Master Dai Hu held the 9th Tea Session at Melt – The World Cafe. A 75-year-old lady was one participant who came to learn new knowledge and wish Master Dai Hu a happy new year. Master Dai Hu took into consideration of her needs and changed the venue to the cafe, a place of brighter lighting.

30. A colleague’s wife had repeated miscarriages. What should be done?
And more.
Master Dai Hu sighed that many people are learning the Dharma improperly, due to starting on the wrong foot. He explained why a person serious about learning the Dharma should take refuge in the Triple Jewels, and reminded everyone that the sole purpose of learning the Dharma is to become a Buddha, and never for self interest or for one’s family.
Some people will go onto the path of the devil because they are unable to curb their rising greed. Alas, they failed to grasp the opportunity in every moment to perform meritorious deeds. They fail to allow their bodhicitta to flourish and do things to benefit others. How can these people ever get the good fortune they so crave for?
Many people wish for a better year in 2016. They hoped for more wealth and blessing from the God of Fortune. However, there is no free lunch in this world. Do not harbor greed or desire, take or steal the thing which does not belong to you. Do not think that no one will know of your unwholesome act. The Heavens and the Earth shall know. The gods and spirits in your body shall know. A word of advice from Master Dai Hu: A gentleman of noble character seeks his wealth in a righteous way. Disasters will always follow unrighteous wealth.
