光明軒My Abode of Illumination
有一回，與徒弟及學生到南部的欣葉中餐館用膳，有位來自中國的女侍應生，在吾的正前方，突然冒出一句：「師父好正。」 這句突如其來的話，「驚醒」定中用膳的吾。被「驚醒」的原因，乃是其話中的那個「正」字。因為這「正」字在近代，常被用來形容女生的漂亮與美，那就是「正點」。但吾很快的就意識到，她所謂的「師父好正」，是代表吾的為人形像端正。在此要感謝那位中國同胞，「師父好正」這句贊語，將是吾一生精進的目標之一。
曾經荒廢人生的吾如何得救
能得如此的殊榮，本就應歸功於，吾之根本上師，聖尊蓮生活佛，及佛教教主南無本師釋迦牟尼佛。祂們慈悲偉大的「身教」及「言教」，老早已植在吾之識田裡，只因累世的貪、嗔、癡、妒、慢、疑，滋生大片的雜草，遮蓋吾本清淨明朗的識田，行屍走肉，度日如年的荒廢吾好長的一段人生歲月啊！還好在是日已過，命已隨減的危機下，清淨又清涼的佛光，照破吾那昏天暗地的識田，讓吾之識田重新發光發熱，最終成佛離苦得樂。
吾怎樣以佛的力量，讓自家「光明四射」
多年前，有一男一女的弟子，幫吾整理一些移居前的物品。女弟子在入屋前一碰鐵門，有一種觸電的感覺，她甚感不可思議，於是問吾為何因。吾淡然地告於她，這乃多年的結界之故。她聽後依然覺得，實在不可思議。之後她就進入屋內，還不到兩步她又有另一番覺受。她哇的一聲說：「師父，您的家真清淨又舒服呀！」 她其實有問那男弟子，是否有何覺受，男弟子說，這裡（指吾家）好好睡哦！是的，這不長進的男弟子，到現在依然「未醒」，且「愈越睡愈深」，已接近「來不及醒」的階段。
吾給自己居住的地方命名為「光明軒」，乃日夜持誦光明聖號、光明咒，食衣住行皆供養，佛菩薩諸神明常往來，久而久之，光明擴長又擴長，吾之居所自然就成就光明軒，清淨又舒服的光明軒。
There was one occasion when I was dining with my disciple and student at Shin Yeh Chinese Restaurant, located at the southern part of Singapore. A female waitress of Chinese nationality was standing in front of me when she suddenly remarked, “Master is awesome!”. This sudden remark “woke” me from my meditative stillness while having my meal. The reason being this word “awesome” is also often used nowadays to describe beautiful girls. Of course, I understood her meaning almost instantly. She meant to say that I portray an image of righteousness and properness. I have to thank this lady from China for her lavish praise, for her remark will be my lifetime goal, which I will diligently strive towards.
How I got saved from wasting more of my life away
For this honour, all the credit must go to my Root Guru Master, His Holiness Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, as well as Lord Buddha, Namo Shakyamuni. Their compassionate and noble teachings through Their speech, body and mind, had long been planted in my subconsciousness. But afflictions from my past lives – greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, arrogance and doubt, have germinated into a huge wasteland of weeds, enshrouding the pristine nature of my consciousness.
Days feel like years and I walk around like a living dead, squandering a long period of my life! Thankfully, under the impending danger of my dwindling life span as each day passes, the pristine and refreshing illumination from the Buddhas penetrated my overcast consciousness, and my consciousness regains its Light and Radiance. That will eventually lead me to enlightenment and Buddhahood, liberating myself from sufferings and achieving eternal bliss.
Using the power of Buddha to transform my home
Many years ago, two disciples of mine, one male and the other female, helped me to pack my belongings for house-moving. Just as the female disciple touched the metal gate, prior to entering my home, her hand felt a stream of “electric” current. She was baffled and asked me why. I nonchalantly told her that it was due to my years of demarcating the house. She was in awe after hearing my words. It sounded very unfathomable to her. After she stepped into my home, just a step or two into the house, she exclaimed, “Wah! Master, your house is filled with such pure and comfortable energies!” She went on to ask the male disciple if he felt anything. The male disciple replied that my house was a comfortable place to take a nap! Yes, this lazy disciple is still “unawakened” till now. His “slumber” is getting deeper and deeper, and it is nearing the stage that he might not “awake” in the nick of time.
I have named my home The Abode of Illumination. Day and night, I do my recitations of the Holy names and mantras of radiance. I am diligent and consistent in making offerings of food, clothing, accommodation and transport. These acts invoke the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and Heavenly Beings. As such, They frequently visit my humble abode. Over time, the illumination expanded and my place naturally became the Abode of Illumination, a home that is pure, pristine and comfortable.
