短慮而失敗Failure Due To Lack of Foresight

吾家父是個很能幹的父親。他一個人養九個孩子，加班之餘，閒暇時以醫術和玄學來養家，吾平時看他都是睡很少。看看新加坡的國父李光燿，為囯為民貢獻一生。吾的佛父，蓮生活佛，更是粉身碎骨度衆生。

父親要在外頭賺錢養家，這個時候就不能隨隨便便不喜歡就辭去工作，因爲辭去工作的那刹那要想到米缸的米，孩子的奶粉錢，還有家人的生活起居，必須得忍辱負重，這些都是偉大的。能夠將自己的精神體力貢獻給國人及衆生，把小愛化爲大愛，更是人上人。

以此文章獻給父親們，玳瑚師父祝所有天下的父親們父親節快樂，身心身體健康，也祝吾師佛佛体安康，度眾無數，任何病痛都不臨身，度眾圓滿。

妳你可曾失敗過？請不用不好意思。可以說每個人都曾經歷過失敗。分別只在於失敗的原因，各有各的不同。但怎麼樣的不同， 皆離不開短慮與運氣。我們放眼這世界上,所有成功的人士，我們不難發現她他們多少都有些遠見。當然，單有遠見而沒有運，成功的時日，自然就沒那麼早到。

相反的，我們放眼這世界上，所有的失敗人士，我們也不難發現，她他們失敗的因素，那就是短慮及欠缺時運。活在這地球上的我們，一定要有遠見，沒有遠見等如坐以待斃，與自殺沒兩樣。請認真仔細想想看，戰爭如何來？因為國與國之間沒有遠見。要知道，安邦才可定國啊！為何好好一個家庭會破裂？為何好好一個身體會敗壞？為何米桶總是缺米？為何做生意總是沒有盈餘……？

人生在世要有遠見，人身離世更要有遠見啊！有些人找吾為其批八字，得知其父母在某歲會有大關，立馬淚流滿面。其實啊！妳你若有遠見，根本就不必如此，也不必聽到「西洋樂隊」奏起音樂時痛哭流淚。哈哈哈！父母在世時，就應盡孝，且要知曉她他們是否有任何遺願待了。若有的話， 儘量一一為她他們完成，好讓他她們得以早日安息，冥陽兩利。

最重要的是，要趁她他們健在時，知曉她他們的信仰，並在她他們耳邊唸誦相關的經咒，引領她他們離開及跨越「障礙」， 往光明長樂的境界去 ，這可以說就是大孝了。 只要祖先「安樂」，我們自然而然就會安樂。祝各位不再短慮而失敗。

My Dad is a very capable father. He was the sole breadwinner for our family of 9 children. In addition to working overtime, he rendered medical and Chinese Metaphysics services in his spare time for extra income. I also noticed that he got very little sleep. Our Founding Father, the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew, also contributed his life for our nation. My Buddha Father, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, would not spare a thought for His own life for the salvation of all sentient beings.

As a father, a man has to make ends meet and does not have the liberty to quit his job on a whim as he knows that the livelihood of the family would be affected. He has to endure huge amount of stress and humiliation and that is nobility for his family’s sake. To be able to direct both your mental and physical energy for the betterment of the country or all sentient beings, and expand the love you have for your family into an all encompassing one for all, that is the exalted hallmark of a noble father.

This article below is dedicated to all fathers. Master Dai Hu wishes all fathers a Happy Father’s Day. May all of you be strong and healthy. I would like to wish my Guru Master good health. May He be free from all illnesses and be deliver all sentient beings from sufferings in complete perfection.

Have you ever experienced failure before? Please do not be embarrassed as I would say almost everyone has failed before. The difference lies in the reasons for their failures. Though they may all sound different, they would not be too far off from these two: lack of foresight and lack of luck. Let us survey the successful people in this world and it is not hard to discover that these people possess foresight. Of course, without abundance of good fortune, the days of success would not come so soon too.

On the contrary, we look at the people who had failed and would also discover the main reasons of their downfall in their short-sightedness and a run of bad luck. Living in this world, we must look farther ahead, without which is akin to being a “sitting duck” waiting to be hit. It is no different from committing suicide. Please think about this deeply, why do wars occur? It is due to a lack of foresight between nations. You must know that a nation will only prosper if her state affairs are administered well, not by going to war with one another. Why do families fall apart? Why do your health deteriorate? Why is your rice bucket never full? Why do your business fail to make profit?

Both the living and the dead need foresight! Some clients engaged my service to read their birth chart (bazi) only to discover that their own parents would face a big mortality hurdle at a certain age. They would immediately break down in tears. Actually, it does not have to be this way. You do not have to listen to the funeral band and shed tears of sorrow. Ha ha ha! You should be filial to your parents while they are alive, and find out what their unfulfilled wishes are. You should do your best to satisfy their wishes so that they may go in peace when the day comes. This is beneficial for both the living and the deceased.

Most importantly, while they are still alive and healthy, you should know their religious belief, so that you can recite or chant the relevant mantra or sutra and guide them over their karmic obstacles and towards the realm of light and everlasting bliss. This final act will be the greatest filial piety of all. As long as the ancestors are well and at peace, we, as their descendants, will naturally be well too. I wish everyone to possess foresight in their lives and be successful.
