【玳瑚師父佛學論】 《鳥人》
Bird Man (English version below)
喜歡到處閒逛，有罪嗎？在陽世間的法律，未曾聽說過，此行為是有罪的。但在因果冥律中，這是有過失的。而這過失的循環，是很有邏輯的，那就是下一世，將轉世為鳥。若妳你是新加坡人，有可能會「出現」在裕廊飛禽公園。
或許妳你會叫喊著，甚至要向太陽怒吼，難道自由有罪嗎？不是人人都愛自由嗎？是的，人人皆愛自由。但是，這種理念，這種行為，對我們所需要的自由，不但沒有助益，反而延長了我們驅嚮自由的時日啊！我們祇要一天還在這世間，我們都是不自由的，無論妳你多健康，無論妳你多美麗多英俊，無論妳你，或妳你的老爸多有錢，妳你始終無法自由的。
別把自由來錯悟。真真正正的自由，是釋放我們的心靈與靈魂，因為我們降生為人時，原本自由的靈魂，完全被肉身的「機遇」，搞得死去活來。這一搞，不是一天，不是一個月，也不是一年，而是一輩子。請問哪有自由，哪有樂？
吾有位弟子，長得算高大，但其身材上下不均勻，上半身壯大，下半身卻很顯然的較小。他的性格喜遊蕩，這也就是他前世的「記號」。吾也有一對喜好遊蕩的夫婦學生。她他們的頭髮、五官、身體，有非常顯著的前世「記號」。那就是男女倆頭髮總是微亂及站立，鼻子尖挺，腳都細小，走起路來，不是身體傾前，就是東歪西倒，這其實就是前世今生的「鳥人」。

Is it a crime to like strolling around aimlessly? It is not deemed as one in the eyes of the law in the mortal world. However, in the Law of Karma, such behavior is a misdeed, a transgression. This misdeed will logically lead to a reincarnation as a bird in your next life. If you are a Singaporean, you may be calling Jurong Bird Park home in your next life.
You might be shouting in unjust, or even howl towards the sun. Is it a crime to have freedom? Is it not that everyone loves freedom? Yes, everyone sought after freedom. However, such mindset and behaviour are detrimental to us achieving the freedom we truly need, and instead prolong the time needed for us to reach it. As long as we live in this world, there is no freedom to speak off. No matter how healthy you are, how good looking you are, how much wealth your father has, you are still not truly free.
Please do not misinterpret the meaning of freedom. Real freedom is the liberation of your heart and soul. When we took rebirth as human beings, our souls, which were originally free, became trapped within our physical bodies and experience all forms of sufferings, not for a day, a month or a year, but an entire lifetime. May I ask what kind of joy and freedom is there?
I have a disciple who has quite a tall physique. However his body is quite disproportionate with a bulky upper torso but a markedly smaller lower body. He loves to roam around and this is a trait he brought from his past lives. There is another married couple who are my students. They love to roam around as well. Their hairstyles, facial features and bodies sport obvious signs from their past lives. Their hair tend to be slightly messy and upright, with sharp noses and thin legs. When they walk, either their postures are slightly inclined forward or they cannot walk in a straight line. These are, in fact, birds from past lives who reincarnate as humans.
