《光明軒》
My Abode of Illumination (English version below)

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。

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。

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.

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.

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.

【玳瑚師父玄學論】 《都市夜歸人》
Late-Night City Dwellers (English version below)

現今的時代，今非昔比了。繁華的夜都市，五彩繽紛的霓虹燈，再加上五花八門的娛樂，叫那些不甘寂寞的人兒，常唱「今天不回家」。因此，無論是不是做夜班的，或是朝九晚五的，好些都成了都市夜歸人。偶爾地與三兩好友，用晚餐聯絡感情，雖是無可厚非，但如果能夠充分把握這良機，多多關注民生問題，大伙一起做些公益，或慈善事業，那麼這樣的聚會，顯然有意義多了。

我們都曉得，有些職業是需要夜歸的。這些職業如： 服務業、醫療業、飲食業，等等。服務業當中的，酒店業及一些夜間娛樂場所，這些都市夜歸人，祝願妳你們能有機緣，觀讀此文章，從中領取保障自己，及家人的「靈丹妙藥」。我們都是陽居人，所吸的，所食的，皆以「陽」性為主，這自不在話下。談到吸「陽性」的空氣，那如何才是陽性的空氣？古時候的人們，日出而做，日落而息，這就是吸陽性的氣，規律的做息。

都市夜歸人，根本就無法吸取陽性空氣。若不是自己的八字，陽神夠旺，或常攝取陽性食物，此人身體一定出現兩種狀況，那就是傷風感冒，及偏頭痛。事實上是還有兩個狀況的，吾沒有寫出，是因為這兩種狀況已足夠折騰妳你，哈哈哈！

這些皆是因吸取過多「陰氣」的結果。以下有一個納陽抗陰的好方法，供君參考。找出妳你八字的喜用神，然後配帶相關材料的「佛珠」，於妳你的手腕上。請各位注意，所謂的佛珠，是指妳你平日都會拿來念佛持咒的，才叫佛珠。若沒有，那妳你就繼續當背負陰氣的都市夜歸人。

The times today has changed. The bustling city night life with neon lights in a riot of colours, and the rich variety of entertainment options have many people, who are unwilling to stay lonesome, often singing "I am not coming home tonight". Therefore, regardless if they work in the night shift or regular hours, more and more people are becoming late-night city dwellers. The occasional dinner gatherings with some good friends to catch up are inevitable. But if one can make use of such opportunities to pay some attention to the social problems, and team up to do charity together, such gatherings will take on a deeper meaning.

We all know that some occupations requires getting off work late. Such professions are in the industries of service, medical care, food and beverage, etc. I hope the late-night city dwellers working in the service industry, especially those in the hotel and night entertainment establishments, will have the affinity to read this article and extract the "elixir" from within to protect yourselves and your families. We are all Yang beings. What we breathe in and consume should primarily be Yang in nature. This is an indisputable fact. Let's talk about breathing in air of Yang nature, what exactly is that? In ancient times, people started their day as the sun rises, and rest upon sunset. This is the natural order of life and way to absorb Yang air and energy.

Late-night city dwellers are virtually not able to breath or absorb air of Yang nature. If your own birth chart does not exhibit sufficient Yang nature, or if you do not consume enough food of Yang nature, you are bound to suffer from two common ailments i.e. cold and flu, as well as migraine. There are actually more ailments which I do not intend to divulge as I think the above 2 illnesses are already quite tortuous for you. Ha ha ha!

All these ailments are a direct result of absorbing excessive Yin energy. I have one good way of absorbing Yang energy and resisting the Yin for your consideration. Find out your favorable element(s) from your birth chart, and get a string of chanting beads made of material of your favorable element, to wear on your wrist. Please pay attention to this: chanting beads are named as such because they are meant for you to recite the Buddha Name and chant the mantras daily. If you fail to do that, you shall continue to be a late-night city dweller, burdened with Yin energy.

【玳瑚師父開講錄】《四月份茶會回顧》
Recap of April's Tea Session (English version below)

茶會前的五天，發生了尼泊爾大地震。於是，吾特地帶了一些出席者去買他們平身的第一串數珠。 吾細心地教導大家數珠的意義及使用方式，並解説為災難者祈福的重要性。 要唸佛持咒，一定要用數珠才能攝心。

人一天裏面有很多機會向善行善，但慵懶、傲慢、無明和疑卻使人自己障礙了自己，以爲一定要有錢才可以行善。結果，福報越來越少，日子越來越煩，容貌越來越老，還以為這就是人生。真傻！沒有自主能力的人生，意義何在？

茶會的簡要：

1） 要有男人照顧一生一世的女人，應該有怎樣的眉形？
2） 路不會只有一條，條條路通羅馬，不要這麽執著。
3） 儒家和道家的巨大區別
4） 人不能跟禽獸一樣，不能在日月星下，荒山野嶺裏做“那回事”。
5） 每日都能做的大善事 - 每天給自己的父母一個微笑。
6） 這世界的災難源頭 - 「血染的風采」
7） 為什麽每個人都應該學如何超度？
8） 如何這一世就不再窮，甚至未來世都是大福之人？
9） 原來六字大明真言能夠圓滿一切所求！
10） 但怎樣唸佛持咒才有力量？
11） 家中安神位的四大利益！
12） 埃及法王手印的秘密
13） 古希臘人也知道太歲星君對地球人的影響！
14） 爲什麽孩子不孝順不聽話？
15） 看過太多八字了，十個孩子九個都不是來報恩的？
16） 老公愛去夜店，和祖先的陰宅風水有關？！
17） 狗能聼人話，也有前世記憶，主人如何能幫愛狗速離畜生道？
18） 怎樣能增強孩子的學習能力？
19） 在神桌上，不停播放唸佛機而不自己唸佛是錯的，等同在騙佛！
20） 債主已過世，還應該還他錢嗎？
21） 父母死後八小時，可以做什麽？

等等。

有些人以爲死了就死了，學什麽佛，看不到，吃不到又用不着。這是懶得用腦的思想。紫外綫紅外綫，妳你肉眼看不到，難道它們就不存在嗎？

人的業障不消，看什麽風水都沒用。妳你沒有功德，怎麽請都請不到好的師父。就算請得到，妳你想遵照那位師父的話去做，也會障礙重重。吾教導佛法，就是希望妳你能夠自救，甚至能救人。眼光放遠一點，風水、批命、改名等能幫妳你改命，但如果妳你的身口意仍然不正，誰能救妳你呢？

人生本來就是一個笑話。不要盲目地奔波勞碌，以爲自己有用不完的明天。能夠抽出時間來茶會是有福者，能夠學以致用又利他更是人上人了。

---------------------

Five days before the Tea Session, the Nepal Earthquake struck. Thus, I brought some of the participants to buy their first ever chanting beads, and detailedly explained to them the correct meaning and method of using the beads. I shared with them the importance of seeking blessings for the victims of disasters. To chant and recite a mantra, you must use the chanting beads so as to achieve better concentration.

There are many opportunities in a day for a person to have virtuous thoughts and perform virtuous deeds. However, sloth, arrogance, ignorance and suspicion prevent one from doing so. People also have the misconception that only with money can he or she accomplish kind deeds. As a result, their merits decrease and worries multiply, with every single passing day. Their looks become haggled and they think this is the normal passage of their lives. How silly! What meaning could there be in life, if we are not the master of our own destiny?

Key topics from the Tea Session:

1) What brow shape should a woman have, in order to have her man take care of her for life?

2) There is no single path as all roads lead to Rome. Do not be so attached to your own views.

3) The great difference between Confucianism and Taoism

4) Man cannot be like a beast. He cannot indulge in sexual activity out in the wilderness or under the Sun, the Moon and the stars.

5) One of the greatest kind act you can do is to give a smile to your parents everyday.

6) The source of all calamities - bloodshed.

7) Why should everyone learn the Deliverance Practice?

8) How can you escape from the clutches of poverty this life and be prosperous, even in future lives?

9) The amazing wish granting prowess of the Six Syllabus Mantra

10) But how should mantras be recited for it to be powerful?

11) The four amazing benefits of having a shrine in your house

12) The secret behind the Mudras of the Egyptian Pharaohs

13) Even the ancient Greeks are aware of the influence the Duke of Jupiter has on the people living on Earth!

14) Why are your children unfilial and disobedient?

15) After analyzing so many birth charts, nine out of the children are not here to pay debt of gratitude!

16) The Feng Shui of the ancestral grave has something to do with your husband frequent jaunts to nightspots?!

17) Dogs are capable of comprehending human languages, and they possess past life memories as well. So how may a dog owner help his or her beloved dog to quickly leave the animal realm of existence?

18) How can you boost your children's learning ability?

19) It is wrong to place a MP3 player that plays Buddhist mantras on your altar, in substitution of you reciting the mantras in person. This disrespectful act is akin to deceiving the Buddha!

20) Your creditor has passed away, so how do you return the money owed to him?

21) What can you do in the first 8 hours of your parent's death?

And many more.

Some people think that death is the end of the road so why the need to learn the Dharma, which they perceived to be something impractical, when they can neither see, eat or use it. This is a lazy man's thinking. Your naked eyes cannot see infra-red and ultraviolet rays as well. Can you dispute their existence?

If a person does not take steps to eradicate his karmic hindrances, it would be futile to seek improvement through Feng Shui. If you have insufficient merits, you would not be able to engage a highly competent Feng Shui master. Even if you can, you will experience many obstacles when you badly wish to implement his instructions. I teach you the Dharma in hope that you can save yourself and others around you. Please have some foresight. Even though Feng Shui, Destiny Analysis, Name Change can improve your life, who can save you if you continue to be unwholesome and not virtuous in your speech, body and mind?

Life is a joke after all. Do not get caught in the toils of everyday life, blindly thinking that you will always have endless tomorrows. To be able to make time for this Tea Session is definitely a person of fortune. To be able to use the knowledge gained from me and help others is more certainly a man above the rest.
