《齊發力量扭轉乾坤》
Together, We Can Turn The Tide (English version below)
妳你可曾想過，地球到底是個什麼樣的地方？而這地方似乎愈來愈不「妥當」，有核子危機，有層出不窮的恐怖份子，無法預料的天災地禍，變種的新病菌......。讓吾告訴妳你，這地球其實就是一所很大的牢獄，天災地禍等即是吾等人類的共業也。想要不陷身其中，必需先要有出離心，然後再禮拜真正的明師，或大善知識，學習「走出牢獄的方法」，那就是真實的佛法也。
吾，玳瑚師父，絕對無自殘的傾向。舉辦過年餐會、小型法會及偶爾的茶會，皆為了堅守吾在佛菩薩面前，一而再再而三所發的大願：願將吾所學之佛法與玄學，同步利益諸有情。有時候，吾的身體已是相當不適了，吾還是咬緊牙根地做完吾之任務，讓來者歡喜及法喜地離去。發了願就必須去實踐之，是修行、是專一，這樣未來道果圓滿，大踏步地走出這悲情的牢獄啊！
法會、餐會或茶會的主旨，都是在利益大家，及冥陽兩利。坦白說，妳你來或不來，對吾來說，一丁點的影響都毫無的。吾只是嘆息妳你，無福無慧，錯失如此大好機緣脫離苦海，解掉妳你身「多條繩子」罷了。吾是修行人，本就應該任運與自在。妳你來或不來，吾依然歡歡喜喜，自自在在地演化妙法音，有緣則來，無緣則去，來去皆緣也。哈......！
吾等皆在這大牢獄之中，謂之為同一條船上的人，理應守望相助、向善向上、共赴蓮邦，永享極樂。要不然，就是永享極苦哦！無論法會、餐會或茶會，皆有助妳你開啟那「塵封已久」的智慧，釋放妳你的靈魂，使之得大自在，永永遠遠不必再到這地球，勞改與勞役。這樣才是真正對得起自己，也對自己的生命有所交代，善待自己而不是刻薄自己啊！讓我們齊發力量，扭轉乾坤，大家一同改變我們的命運吧！

Has it ever crossed your mind to wonder exactly what kind of planet Earth are we living in? And it seem that this place is getting more and more unstable. We are witnessing nuclear crisis, increased terrorism threats, unpredictable tragedies and natural disasters, new mutant viruses... Let me tell you this: this planet is actually a humongous prison, and all the disasters and tragedies are our universal karmic retributions. If you wish to plan your escape, you must first set an intention of renunciation. Thereafter, you take refuge in a genuine and accomplished master to learn the way, to free yourself from this huge prison, which is the Buddhadharma.
Master Dai Hu definitely has no inclination for destructive behaviour towards myself. Organizing these CNY dinner sessions, the occasional tea sessions, and small puja sessions is my way of fulfilling my great aspirations, made repeatedly to the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas. I vowed to use my knowledge of the Dharma and Chinese Metaphysics together, to benefit all sentient beings. At times, my physical body is really unwell, but I still press on to accomplish my mission, that is to infuse happiness and Dharma joy to those who come to me. A vow made must be actualised. It is a singular focus towards spiritual cultivation, which shall yield the fruits of spiritual accomplishment, and the way out from this prison of gloom!
The main idea of the puja sessions, tea sessions and dinner sessions are to benefit you, as well as the sentient beings from the other realms of existence. Frankly speaking, your decision to attend or miss these sessions have absolutely nothing to do with me. I can only heave and sigh that you are not blessed with enough wisdom and fortune, to seize the golden opportunity presented to you, so that you can escape from the ocean of sufferings and snip away the big mesh of ropes that is bounding you now.
I am a spiritual cultivator, and lead my life in a carefree way. Whether you come for my session or not, I expound the wondrous and euphonious Dharma, with a heart of joy and ease. Those who have affinity with me will come while those without shall take their leave. It is all about affinity. Ha...!
All of us are trapped in this huge prison. We are in the same boat, and should look out for one another, helping one another onto the path of kindness and betterment. Together, we can ascend to the Pureland and enjoy eternal bliss. If not, it will be suffering in unison! Be it a puja, dinner session or a tea session, they are meant to inspire and awake your dust-settled wisdom, and set free your spirit, never to return to this planet Earth for corrective labour. Only then will you truly be able to justify to yourself and the gift of life bestowed to you. Treat yourself with kindness, not meanness. Let us join our hands together and turn the tide. Let us all transform our destinies for the better!

10th Tea Session With Master Dai Hu:
How Not To Go Wrong In Your Spiritual Cultivation
佛號很多人都會，普儸大衆也不是沒聼過六字大明咒和大悲咒。但爲何唸了那麽多，不一定就能佛光注照？不是說慈悲為懷嗎？
有些人不唸還好，一唸就很多不如意事。妳你相信嗎，真的有不少人修法修到走火入魔哦！其實，也有無宗教信仰的人，一樣逃離不了魔掌呀！
入魔的，不見得就會瘋瘋癲癲，魔也有千百萬種，入魔當然有分輕、重和無葯可救的。我們如何辨認呢？我們自己的力量能驅魔防魔嗎？
預防勝於治療！學佛人千萬別以為只看網路文章和一些書，就能無師自通。玳瑚師父擁有二十年的真實修行和渡眾經驗, 客戶徒弟學生橫跨中港新馬。這個星期四，且讓他教導妳你如何在學佛路上能夠過關斬將，跳越魔障，修行路上更少煩惱！
無論妳你是初學者或已學佛多年，一律適合，千載難逢，切勿錯失！

------------------
Many people will tell you that they know how to recite the name of Buddha. There are also so many people who have heard of the Six-Syallable Mantra and the Great Compassion Mantra. Problem is, after umpteen recitations, why do they fail to receive the blessing from the Buddha's Light? Isn't the Buddha the merciful One?
Some people are better off at not doing any Buddhist chanting. Because once they do, many troubles come knocking at their door. Can you believe that there are many people who fall into demonic ways, due to mistakes in their spiritual cultivation? Well, actually, there are also people with no religion who have fallen prey to the Mara.
Being possessed does not necessarily mean crazy and out-of-control behaviour. The Mara comes in tens of thousands manifestations. So being possessed can also be categorized according to its severity, ranging from light, serious to the incurable. How can we differentiate that? With our human ability, are we able to get rid of the demon and protect ourselves against it?
Prevention is better than cure! Knowledge empowers a person! A genuine student of the Dharma should not assume that he can be self-taught, just by reading a few books and internet articles.
Master Dai Hu has twenty years of true spiritual cultivation and delivering sentient beings. His clients, disciples and students span across the countries of Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong and China. This Thursday, let him teach you how to surmount the demonic difficulties in your path of pursuing the Buddhadharma, and rid yourself of afflictions in your spiritual practice.
This session is suitable for both the novice and the experienced. It is rare to see such topics in the local scene. Do not miss it!
