很多地方流行亡人烧纸钱,更有甚者,亡人生前喜欢车,扎纸车烧他;喜欢别墅,做纸别墅烧他。
此举佛教观点来讲,可能无利无害,你他烧了多少钱,他能得到。但不管怎么样,中阴身会不会得到这些钱呢?说。
不过假如你烧纸钱、烧纸车时,念一些观音心咒“嗡玛尼巴美吽”,那亡人肯定得到利益;如果你什么不念,光是烧了很多纸,能不能。
我们藏地,利益亡人有很多方法,如仪轨来烧烟烟,进行施食;或者,亡人骨头、骨灰带到拉萨圣地去。
过去有一个时期,藏地很多人死了埋了,后来宗教开放时,人们骨头挖出来,做各种超度仪式。
这一点,汉传佛教《高僧传》中有,以前有个道丕和尚,他7岁出家,19岁时长安发生战事,他带着母亲到华山避难,住山洞里。
那时米价很,他没钱买米,只得饿着肚子乞食供母。母亲问他:“你吃饭了吗?”他虽饥肠辘辘,但避免母亲伤心,总回答:“我吃饱了。”
他父亲是一位军人,作战时阵亡,母亲很伤心,想他尸骨拿回来安葬,要求道丕去找。
道丕到了战场上,只见东一堆西一堆累累白骨,无法知道哪一具是父亲。他日夜诵经,空中祈祷:“愿三宝加持力,让我父亲遗骨转动。”
过了几天,有一具骷髅骨堆中跳出,摇动了很久。他知道这是父亲遗骨,它抱怀里,带回家去见母亲。
这天夜里,母亲梦见丈夫归家,第二天早晨,看到道丕背着尸骨回来了。他们遗骨安葬,并佛教仪式做了超度。
所以,作为子女,父母去世后要处理后事。假如你是出家人,应为他们做些佛事,亡人名字写,时交一些钱,请僧众念经超度,这样他们利益。
藏地民间有种说法是:“亡人来讲,念一句观音心咒价值,超过一匹马。”
确实,亡人一匹马、一辆轿车、一幢别墅,他用不上,而他念些咒语或《金刚经》,可令其生生世世远离痛苦,获得。
答:这不是正法,如果神通方法来超度一切众生,佛神通广大,释迦牟尼佛要讲经说法?而且妖魔鬼怪有神通,他是佛、是魔,你辨别。如果佛法,魔没有办法了,因为魔不会讲经,不会念佛,魔佛区别。21-090-0088
答:清朝乾隆时代,彭际清居士及慈云灌顶法师是通宗通教。灌顶法师《观无量寿佛经》注解说:「世间罪业,佛法所有经教、忏佛事无法超度,最后还有一门能够超度,念『阿弥陀佛』回。」这是念佛功德不可思议,超出所有一切法门,你去读这本书知道了。因此,超度什么方法,没有「阿弥陀佛」殊胜了!
你要念经,念《阿弥陀经》,或是念《无量寿经》,念经念这一句佛号,他回向,但是要。譬如你要念十万声佛号超度他,你要念满十万声,这是他念。而且你要一段时间之内这个功课做,这个力量不可思议。21-090-0088
答:这个问题要问你自己,不能问别人。为什么?,你去做,过世亲人得到利益。20-014-0119
答:还是素菜祭祀,这他决定有。父亲不乐意,牌位前多诵经、念佛他回向,并劝导他吃素。但是你自己本身要吃长素,你自己吃素,叫他吃素,他怎么会高兴?全家吃长素,那没话说了。如果你自己想,他不会饶你,「人同此心,心同此理」。若他不乐意,还要吃众生肉,决定堕三途,你要劝导他,三途时劫太长、太苦了。21-090-0080
答:消除不了!你想消除他,他想来消除你,战争爆发了。新加坡有,居士林功德堂每年举办超度法会,供冤亲债主牌位人多。主持法会法师,有些「培训班」受过训,他们懂得这些道理方法,能大家讲开示,配合居士林道场每天讲经念佛,集合这些功德,所以超度效果殊胜。
立一个冤亲债主超度牌位,这是形式上,是你要懂得理论。我们一生中自己,社会安定、世界和平,人民,只要发这样心,无往而,得诸佛护念,龙天善神拥护。我们常讲:「人同此心,心同此理。」如果我们遇到这样人,我们敬佩他,纵然有什么过节,我们存报复念头。因为他社会做了许多善事,他做善事等于我们做一样,所以鬼神懂得修「功德」。21-090-0037
答:要做几次没有标准。实在讲,过世祖先到哪一道,我们知道。如果他到人道来,他现在可能是小孩,或者是年轻人。如果到天道,天寿命。饿鬼道寿命,上讲饿鬼道一天是我们人间一个月,寿命短是一千岁。如果我们要做超度,我们做一辈子,他那里几十天而已。所以,想超度祖先,如果他饿鬼道,子子孙孙要接著做超度。地狱道没办法了。有没有效果?你自己有没有,有没有修行,若你有修行功夫加上,效果。20-014-0119
答:烧纸钱是中国人习俗,佛经没有教我们烧纸钱。从前有人问过印光大师,大师答复中肯。他说烧纸钱这件事,我们赞成,因为佛经上没有,我们是佛弟子应当依教奉行。但,因为纸钱只有饿鬼道有用处,若其他道得不到,没用处。若亡者到饿鬼道,我们他家人烧纸钱他,人财路!所以,抱著既赞成态度。
纸钱要烧多少,那是自己事。但要想多烧一点,让他变成大富翁,这。譬如世间,父母留很多财产子女,但是不到二、三年败光,这大有人在。可见得能否成为富人或富鬼,是前生修积,如果前生没有修因,纵然有财保住,这些道理我们要懂。20-014-0119
答:不如念《无量寿经》、《金刚经》,。「白衣神咒」虽然是有感应,但不是佛经,这要知道,我们学佛要认清哪些是佛所说经。21-269-0001
答:做一个木雕大牌位,牌位上写「佛力超荐某道场堂上众灵往生莲位」,这是总牌位,这个道场立小牌位,全部包括了。这是一种作法。
如果立小牌位,可以仿造净宗学会设计样式,使用黄色纸张来印,节省空间。道场供牌位不要收费,收费变成生意买卖,那是错误。如果佛堂,可以供往生小牌位,供长生禄位,有空间可以去利用。20-014-0119
答:如法!,形式并。讲到超度、消灾,念几句经文、几声佛号,能超度、消灾吗?没有这回事!寒山、拾得看到国清寺出家人做早晚课,他们门口讥笑说:「口念弥陀心散乱,喊破喉咙枉然。」所以,消灾超度要有实质修行功夫。
譬如消灾,我们能修心、心、心、慈悲心,灾消了。我修福修慧,福慧能做超度。如果自己无修行功夫,什么来超度?
《地藏经》上,婆罗门女如何超度其母亲?念佛。她是真念,不是口念弥陀心散乱。她念佛,心口如一,心口相应,念了一天一夜,定中到了地狱。地狱鬼王见到她,合掌问她:「菩萨何而来?」鬼王称她菩萨,我们知道她达到事一心不乱,见思断了,断证功夫等于阿罗汉,有资格去参观地狱。《弥陀经》讲:「若一日,若二日,若三日,若七日」,念佛功夫能成就。而她,一日了。
地狱只有两种人能见到,一是受罪,一是菩萨到里面去度众生;除此之外,地狱面前,你见不到。所以,她能去游览地狱,我们知道她一天一夜念佛功夫是念到,是事,有如此感应。她为何能念到事?母亲地狱受苦受难,她救母亲,心全力念佛,怀疑、夹杂、不间断,了。
我们今天念佛为何不能?念阿弥陀佛时,脑中胡思乱想,所有功夫破坏了。人家念佛时确实夹杂妄念其中,这功夫。她母亲能离开地狱升忉利天,因为她证得菩萨果位,母亲是增上缘!母亲若堕地狱,女儿会念佛?如何能证果?母亲福德此,所以才能升忉利天去享福,道理此。
因此,超度要有功夫,我们念佛方法要念到功夫成片,超度有力量,并不在乎形式。《影尘回忆录》有一段故事,倓法师出家前,几位朋友合伙开了一家中药店,其中有一位刘居士,喜欢读《楞严经》,《楞严经》念了八年。有一天中午休息时,他柜台上打瞌睡,作梦看到两个人来到店里。这两个人是他冤亲债主,过去争财物打官司,他打赢了,这两人输了上吊死了。他此事很难过后悔,害了两条人命。现在见此二人,他恐惧,怕他们来报复。但看他们并无恶意,不是来找麻烦,问他们:「你们何而来?」他们说:「是来求超度。」他听了此话,心平了。他说:「行,我帮助你们超度,如何超度?」他们说:「只要你答应就行了。」他说:「,我答应你们。」这一答应,看到鬼踩著他膝盖和肩膀升天了。过了一会儿来了两个,是他过世太太和儿子。他问:「来干什么?」她说:「来求超度。」他答应了,看到她们踩著他膝盖、肩膀升天了。所以,超度需要形式,而是要有真功夫,他有八载寒窗读《楞严》功德。若无本事、无功夫,什么来超度、消灾?
所以,消灾要靠、、、,培养此心,任何灾消了。超度时候,自己有功德,有能力超度,具备任何形式,点头答应能超度。确实佛法实质形式,形式上是唱戏表演,众生看,让他们种善根。
这些理事要明了,知道灾可以消除,业可以化解,只要懂得理论方法。是要学不能记冤仇,这什么,这是修行。别人我有误会,我有,可放在心上。既有事,自己想著要此化解,冤家宜解结,不要任何人结怨。不但人结怨,不要一切动物结怨,不要杀害动物,。要爱心、感恩心,运用智慧,恶缘能转成善缘,恶事会得到善果。
佛法教导我们「慈悲为本,门」,无条件爱心。别人我,我有误会,自己反省是否做得不够,让他我有误会,不能过失归于别人,要过失归自己,回过头来反省,那变成善知识。所以,别人我们这些心行,我们心存感激,虚心接受,所谓「有则改之,无则加勉」。若他人讲是,我改过自新,我自己没有发觉,他提醒我,这不是坏事。如果我自己没有这个过失,那是他误会了,我们要小心谨慎,再犯此过失。所以,是善知识,修学有利益,绝无害处。
若是怀恨在心,那是大害!要学忍,要学让,处处忍让,要肯定古人所说「吃亏是福」。人为何不能积福,不能成就道业?不肯吃亏。而怕吃亏是吃了,怕上当是上了。古人有道理!21-171
答:佛法护念一切众生,关怀一切众生,爱护一切众生,心全力帮助一切众生,这个事可以做。20-014-0119
答:他们得多少利益,视家里人心地有几分。印光大师讲:「一分得一分利益,十分得十分利益。」所以,这完全自己心。
祭祀是,祭神如神,心有感应。「无物」,你们没有心,他不会来。祭祀之后食品,家人可以吃,还要生欢喜心祖先共享。21-090-0083
答:这要看寺院修行人是不是修,若是修行,他得利益,一个「」字,!21-090-0083
答:无论是佛教、道教或其他宗教,超度原理只有一个:超度人要有修行功夫。他如果没有功夫,照仪规去做,亡人得利益多,这是个总原则。所以你请法师或道士超度,要细心观察他有没有道行,修得怎么样。他有修持,有帮助;他要没有修持,只是照仪式去做,效果。但讲,做做好了。21-268-0001
答:你应该连本带利,完全他做功德回,这,他会感谢你。做功德殊胜是流通法宝,做弘法利生工作,这是利益。20-014-0119
答:这是。世间动乱,鬼神确实是。要如何安抚鬼神?你修,鬼神会尊敬你,你得到安抚。假修不行,鬼神会瞧不起你。所以,要,。《了凡四训》中,云谷禅师举画符例子,画符念咒有异曲同工效。画符、念咒其他宗教祈祷,是同一个道理,是要心,若夹杂一丝妄心其中,没有感应了。
所以,要安抚鬼神,心修行,「断一切,修一切善」。修行没有别的,断恶修善而已。你能行为、念头断除,起心动念、言语造作,天地鬼神尊敬你,而不是要做什么法术,那个没有用处。《了凡四训》教诲,这是印祖肯定,这是佛法修学。21-090-0069
答:你梦到母亲,不论她你讲些什么话,《地藏经》告诉我们:「梦见过世亲人,是他你有所希求,来求你帮助。」
要如何帮助她?诵经、念佛回向她。你要报母亲恩,自己应当佛前发愿,我念一百部或念三、五百部《弥陀经》及念佛回,这个功德。修念《地藏经》,总之是部数,念完之后念佛回,祈求她发心求生净土。21-090-0074
答:你自己念佛到功夫成片知道了。你要问别人,别人说去了、说没有去,可靠。所以,要自己功夫成就晓得。21-090-0083
答:确有此事!烧纸钱中国习俗已有历史,佛门中没有。所以,《印光大师文钞》中,有人印光大师请教此问题,印光大师态度很,他既赞成。为何赞成?佛法中没有,身为佛弟子应当经典教诲,依教奉行。佛经典中虽无烧纸钱,无以此祭祀鬼神,但民间习俗有,所以印光法师。
人死后有六道轮回,而纸钱只有饿鬼道有用处,其他五道无用处。如果他是鬼道,确实他有用处,但烧了之后,有可能会其他鬼抢走。
我们不能断定人死后到哪一道,但一般而言,人死后堕鬼道机会,为什么?经典讲,贪心、悭贪,这是饿鬼道业因。若悭一点,到鬼道,这是要晓得。三恶道业因,饿鬼道是悭贪,地狱道是瞋恚,畜生道是愚痴,所以贪瞋痴三毒感召三恶道苦报。
如果我们这一生中,起心动念、言语造作,贪瞋痴很,修善,而善标准《十善业道经》。所以,印祖一生劝人读《了凡四训》,其目的是教导众生了因果报应,因果报应了,人心是定,能伏住贪瞋痴。确实人一生是命,半点人。命里有,你丢丢掉;命里没有,想尽方法得不到,纵使得到了,会失去。所以,要断恶修善,命里没有,自己可以修来,只要现在认真努力修学能得到。
不论中国、外国,或是任何宗教、族群,没有人爱财,没有人喜欢长寿,没有人喜欢愚痴。财富、聪明智慧和健康长寿是众生希求,如果命里没有,可否修得?肯定是可以修得,只要修!如何修法?修布施。
「香港凤凰电视台」播出「有智斯有财」广告,这是误导众生。有智,有财!我老师方东美先生有智慧,但他,无财。所以,要改一个字,有「施」斯有财,布施有财了。财布施得财富,法布施得聪明智慧,无畏布施得健康长寿,三者是布施。因此,应该说「有施斯有财,有施斯有智,有施斯有寿」。释迦牟尼佛说:「布施供养福」。财富、聪明智慧、健康长寿是福报,想得到要修布施。
我学佛时,初章嘉大师见面,章嘉大师教我看破、放下。我请问他:「何著手?」他说:「布施开始。」有一位老和尚我讲过:「净空法师,你走老运。」我晚年是这一生(二十六岁开始学佛)修来,不是前生。前生有一点智慧,但没有财富,没有寿命。所以,这是接触佛教之后,接受老师指导,认真努力去做,效果殊胜,现在确实如孔老夫子所说「随心所欲,而逾矩」。不但如此,「佛氏门中,有求必应」,心想事成。佛不会欺骗我们,学佛要有信心,认真努力学习。21-171
答:诸位可以去读《盂兰盆经》。盂兰盆是梵语,意思是挽救悬倒,不是一个盆。是堕落恶道里众生,那个好像倒吊那个地方,这是佛菩萨大慈大悲见到这个状况。我们如何来挽救他,这是普度一种仪式,要明了。但是这个普度,上讲得,要三宝门中修福,修福要如理如法,才能解救他们困苦。20-014-0119
世间习俗,清明节是一个祭祀祖先节日,人们扫墓传统方式来追思和抚慰亡灵。但是,如果希望利益亡者灵,其念经、念咒、放生、供僧行持任何一种善法,他们转生善趣或趋避灾祸和痛苦,乃至获得解脱有着不可思议利益。故此清明节之际,希望我们能这些无助可怜亲人戒杀、行持各种善法,并善法他们作回。“清明节”。汉地许多地方有烧纸钱习俗,这对生者是一种慰藉和缅怀,但光是烧了很多纸,亡人能否得到“钱”说。假如大家烧纸钱时,念108遍观音心咒“嗡玛尼巴美吽”,会亡人带来利益!——索达吉堪布博
我们大多数祖先在世时和临终时没有得到佛法利益,清明节时,我们行持传统祭奠活动、寄托哀思怀念外,能亡人念诵观音心咒、弥陀名号和心咒; 如果条件许可,可以亡人放生、念诵《诸佛名号宝鬘集》、《生助念仪轨》、行持各种善法,让亡人得到佛法利益。
现在很多地方流行亡人烧纸钱,更有甚者,亡人生前喜欢车,扎纸车烧他;喜欢别墅,做纸别墅烧他……
此举佛教观点来讲,可能无利无害,你他烧了多少钱,他能得到。我看过有些地方纸钱,样子一百元人民币相仿,只是毛泽东头像换成了阎罗王。
但不管怎么样,中阴身会不会得到这些钱呢?说。不过假如你烧纸钱、烧纸车时,念一些观音心咒“嗡玛尼巴美吽”,那亡人肯定得到利益;如果你什么不念,光是烧了很多纸,能不能。
我们藏地,利益亡人有很多方法,如仪轨来烧烟烟,进行施食;或者,亡人骨头、骨灰带到拉萨圣地去(以前我们去印度时,法王说骨灰、头发放在尸陀林,当时我们活人东西放在那里了)。
过去有一个时期,藏地很多人死了埋了,后来宗教开放时,人们骨头挖出来,做各种超度仪式。
这一点,汉传佛教《高僧传》中有。
以前有个道丕和尚,他7岁出家,19岁时长安发生战事,他带着母亲到华山避难,住山洞里。那时米价很,他没钱买米,只得饿着肚子乞食供母。母亲问他:“你吃饭了吗?”他虽饥肠辘辘,但避免母亲伤心,总回答:“我吃饱了。”
他父亲是一位军人,作战时阵亡,母亲很伤心,想他尸骨拿回来安葬,要求道丕去找。道丕到了战场上,只见东一堆西一堆累累白骨,无法知道哪一具是父亲。
他日夜诵经,空中祈祷:“愿三宝加持力,让我父亲遗骨转动。”过了几天,有一具骷髅骨堆中跳出,摇动了很久。
