Impermanence Is Always Near

Unexpected events can arise at any moment in our daily lives. Impermanence is constantly with us, whether we are aware of it or not.

One evening, the weather was pleasantly cool. As usual, I was watching my child play with friends in our community. Seeing them happily absorbed in their games, I took out my phone and began browsing some news and information.

Suddenly, I heard an elderly man exclaim, “The child has been hurt from the fall!” I immediately looked up and saw my child crying uncontrollably several meters away. I rushed over and discovered that another child had accidentally knocked her to the ground. A large bump had already formed on her head.

It happened so quickly. In just a moment of inattention, an accident occurred.

That night, as I watched my child sleeping peacefully, I could not stop thinking about how she had cried in pain, tears covering her face. My heart ached for her. Just moments before, she had been a carefree child, full of laughter and joy. Yet in an instant, everything changed.

What if she had been seriously injured?

This incident reminded me of something that happened to my mother in 2020. She was in her seventies when she fell from a three-wheeled vehicle. During a turn, she was thrown from the vehicle and landed heavily on the ground. She could barely move afterward. A CT scan revealed that four ribs had been fractured, and her face was severely bruised and swollen. For days, the pain was so intense that she repeatedly said she could not endure it.

Reflecting on these experiences, I realized how unpredictable life truly is. Accidents and misfortunes can happen to anyone, at any time. This is the reality of impermanence.

In the Dharma discourse What Is Cultivation?, Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III teaches:

“Without an awareness of impermanence, one cannot enter the Buddhist path. Even after entering it, one cannot engage in correct cultivation.”

These words prompted me to examine myself more deeply. Although I have studied Buddhism for many years, I realized that I had not truly developed a profound awareness of impermanence.

When I quietly reflected on my life, I saw that impermanence is everywhere. We age without noticing it. White hairs gradually appear. Our bodies lose their former strength. Family members and friends whom we once shared life with gradually depart from this world.

There is nothing we can do to stop time. We cannot bring back those who have passed away, nor can we prevent our own lives from eventually coming to an end.

Life lasts only as long as a single breath. Impermanence can arrive in a single instant.

Every day, we witness unexpected tragedies—accidents, natural disasters, illnesses, economic hardships, and countless unforeseen changes. No matter how much wealth, status, or success a person possesses, no one is exempt from the uncertainties of life.

As long as we remain within the cycle of samsara, impermanence will continue to accompany us.

This realization led me to ask myself: If my life were to end unexpectedly today, where would I go?

The thought was sobering.

I therefore made a sincere vow to cherish this rare and precious human life and to practice even more diligently the authentic Tathagata Dharma transmitted by Namo H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III. May I attain liberation in this very lifetime, transcend the cycle of reincarnation, and ultimately realize lasting happiness and freedom.

The Strength of a Grateful Heart

Gratitude brings peace to the heart.
In life, people often focus on what is missing,
what is difficult,
or what has not gone according to plan.

In life, people often focus on what is missing,
what is difficult,
or what has not gone according to plan.

But when we learn to be grateful,
our perspective begins to change.
We become less burdened by dissatisfaction
and more aware of the blessings already present in our lives.

Gratitude is not merely a polite feeling.
It is a form of inner cultivation.
When we appreciate the kindness of others,
the support we have received,
and the opportunities to learn through hardship,
our hearts naturally become softer and more peaceful.

In the teachings of
H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III,
true cultivation is reflected in how we transform our minds and conduct ourselves in daily life.
A grateful heart helps us reduce arrogance, complaint, and resentment,
and allows humility and kindness to grow.

When we live with gratitude,
we do not take life for granted.
We become more mindful of every condition that supports us,
and more willing to repay kindness through good thoughts, good words, and good actions.

Let us begin today
by giving thanks sincerely,
living more humbly,
and cherishing each day with a grateful heart.

阿不問法 第二十三集：如何求得加持？（一）

這天，阿不走向師父求知見：師父，那要如何才能求得加持呢？

師父道：佛陀師父南無羌佛是這樣說的，眾生要得到加持，就必須依照佛陀說的方法去做，依照佛法法義守持戒律，修持一切善行，遠離所有惡行，這樣三業才能相應，當然就能得到加持了！

阿不問：哦！師父，那為什麼有人很虔誠的求了加持又沒有得到加持呢？

師父道：這就是他根本就沒有依教奉行，自己認為自己依教奉行，把自己騙了都不知道，也就是說不合法度。比如他這邊求加持，回去以後他卻起心挖肚的想整人、害人，見到新鮮的活魚，他就想弄一條來吃，滿腦殼都是傷生害命這些，他哪裡是在按佛陀說法在做呢？就相當於太陽的光照射是平等無分的，而他自己跑到陰暗角落裡，太陽又怎麼能照得到呢？佛法的加持力量下來了，自己不依教奉行，又怎麼能得到加持呢？

阿不說：哦！師父，我明白了。只有如法按照佛陀的教誡一步一個腳印的做，才能得到加持啊！

師父道：是的，阿不。必須要依教奉行，才能得到那個加持的力量。佛陀師父說，只要符合法度的人，都可以得到加持。所謂法度，就是佛菩薩規定的法度。只要依照法度去做，一旦相應，加持馬上就上身。也就是說，平常我們就要是一個慈悲、善良的人，關心每個人，幫助一切眾生，符合佛陀的教戒，依教奉行，而不是一句空口話。所以，加持從哪裡來？從自己的行為、語言、思想意識三業相應而來，相應於佛陀的法度，相應於佛陀的教戒。佛法的加持是有的，但是要靠我們三業相應，靠我們真正的學佛修行，靠我們「學佛如初，成就有餘」，靠我們「常能憶持上師教」，常能觀察思維佛菩薩的功德，觀察思維祂們無畏的力量，使我們的信心如鐵打的鋼鐵“金山”毫無動搖，這樣才是真正修行人，真正的佛弟子，才能得到加持。

阿不說：無限感恩南無羌佛為眾生帶來無上大法，為眾生指明解脫成就的道路！

阿不合十：南無阿彌陀佛！

“磨砖成镜”与打坐成佛的误区在哪里？

——读怀让禅师与马祖道一故事有感

许多修行人都喜欢参禅打坐，以为只要功夫下到了就可开悟乃至成圣、成佛。这种做法对吗？让我们看看这个流传甚广的禅门公案，或许你能从中领悟到修行的真谛。

马祖道一是禅宗洪州宗的祖师，年轻时曾受教于衡山怀让禅师。那时候的马祖道一非常相信只要坚持打坐就能成就，于是一门心思参禅打坐，每日精进修持从不间断，虽然如此可道力却未见增长。

怀让禅师知道了这个事情后问他：“你终日坐禅是为了什么呢？”

马祖道一回答：“为了成佛”。

于是怀让禅师找了一块石砖，在石头上拼命地磨了起来。

马祖道一不解地问道：“师父磨砖干什么？”

怀让禅师看也不看他一眼，一边磨砖一边说道：“我要把这块砖磨成镜子”。

“磨砖能成镜子吗？”马祖道一诧异。

怀让禅师哈哈大笑：“既然磨砖不能成镜，那么打坐就能成佛吗？”

马祖道一内心一动，问道：“弟子应该如何起修呢？”

怀让禅师语重心长地说：“这个道理就像是有人驾着一辆牛车，如果车子不走了，你是打车还是打牛呢？”

怀让禅师的话浅显易懂，牛车不动，当然要打牛。学佛修行要成就，首先要按照佛陀的教戒老老实实修行，要严守戒律，行十善，修六度，发菩提心，这样才能享受到佛菩萨的加持，修“定”才能生用，进而开敷智慧。这就是 戒生定、定生慧的道理。如果我们不能时刻看护自己的心念，修正行为，而只顾打坐，即使再用功也无济于事，注定是竹篮打水一场空。关于这一点，如果我们学习了南無始祖報身佛《浅释邪恶见和错误知见》就会明白，认坐禅是修行是错误知见，也正因为马祖道一曾经犯了这一条，怀让禅师才用“磨砖能成镜”来教化马祖道一。

修行就是指我们平时的言行是否符合佛陀的教戒，诸恶莫作，众善奉行，对待众生是否慈悲，身语意是否与佛菩萨三业相应。如果只知道禅修打坐做功课，而忽略了修行，就如“磨砖成镜”一般，不可能获得成就解脱。

“有行无功步不前，有功无行如无脚。”只知道禅修打坐做功课，却忽略了修行，就像人没有脚，根本走不到目的地的。当然，如果只修行而不修法也是不行的，就像人虽有脚却迈不开步子，同样走不到目的地的。只有修行修法相结合，才能功行圆满证道成圣，获得成就解脱。

Why Do We Need to Learn Buddha Dharma?

What Is the Fundamental Reason for Doing so?

Rather than saying “Buddhism” is a type of religion, it is better to regard it as “teachings by the Buddha.” Also, the most basic foundation of Buddhism is to “clearly believe the law of cause and effect.” Where we go after death and if we will no longer transmigrate and can break away from the suffering of birth, aging, illness, and death all depend on what you do from now on and what teachings and lineage you follow. All the consequences are determined by the causes we have created due to “The law of cause and effect never errs.” That is why the Buddha taught us, “Abstain from whatever that is evil, and do all that is good.”

Why do we need to learn Buddha Dharma and understand Buddha Dharma? The most fundamental reason is as we live in this world, we must clearly believe the law of cause and effect. You need to know what effect will be created in the future from the mindset and ideas you give rise to at this moment. If today, you waste your time and ruin your health, be aware of the consequences tomorrow.  Causes and effects form the incessant transmigration. Therefore, good causes will lead to good results. The same is true on the opposite. That is why we need to have a positive attitude to face our life and treat every day and every consequence in a proactive manner.

How can one attain liberation and end the cycle of birth and death? His Holiness the Buddha told us to proceed in the two aspects of cultivation and Dharma practice and not to miss either of the two!  “If you practice the Dharma but do not cultivate yourself, you will not be able to attain accomplishment. If you cultivate yourself but do not practice the Dharma, you will not be able to generate realization powers. If you have listened to the teaching of the Dharma and cultivation, yet you do not put it into practice, it is as if you are trying to catch the moon from the moon’s reflection in water.

When you look at the many so-called Dharma masters, Dharma kings, rinpoches, and great knowledgeable and beneficent persons, if they do not mention cultivation to you and only say practicing a Dharma or just studying the theory of emptiness in Buddhist sutras can lead to accomplishment, then they are absolutely outside practitioners or demons.  They can even be called evil practices.  They are not authentic Buddhism. This is also a very important criterion for evaluating holy gurus.

In other words, other than concretely implement “cultivation” and “Dharma practice,” there is no second path leading to “accomplishment and liberation!” “You must cultivate yourself. If you do not cultivate yourself, you cannot attain accomplishment. You must learn the Dharma. If you only cultivate yourself but do not learn the Dharma, you also will not be able to attain accomplishment. These two points are very important and are interrelated. Neither can be missing.” This is also an important standard for you to judge whether the master you choose to follow can lead you to accomplishment and liberation.

Perhaps many people would say, since they have done very little study in Buddhist books and due to other conditions, “We do not know…” and “Who should we believe after all?” Actually, the answer is very simple. His Holiness the Buddha has told us long ago to rely on the “four points,” which are, “relying on the Dharma, not people;” “relying on wisdom, not consciousness;” “relying on the truth, not words;” and also “relying on the definitive truth, not non-definitive truth.”  All need to use these four points to measure. What is to be measured?  Following the principles of causality and attaining accomplishment, you measure if your master has taught you to transform causality through cultivation, and how many disciples have attained accomplishment from the Dharma transmitted by this master. All must be based on real examples and real evidence, not empty theories or meaningless words!

The above is my understanding from learning from Buddha, benefits and reflections that I would like to share with you all. I respectfully pray for all living beings to take refuge in true Dharma early and thus attain enlightenment early! Amitabha!

The Drunkard Who Met H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III

My husband is an artist, and he was also a widely known “drunkard” in our town.

He studied at a well-known art academy in China. After graduation, he returned to our county to engage in artistic creation. He is naturally candid and uninhibited, neither slick nor adept at social maneuvering. Arrogant in his talents, he felt stifled and unfulfilled, unable to realize his ambitions. At some unknown point, he began turning to alcohol. But being unable to handle it well, he would become drunk every time he drank, and once drunk, he grew even more unruly and wild.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, the culture of feasting and drinking was widespread. Cultural officials often visited rural towns, and drinking at banquets was inevitable. On one such occasion, a local business held a grand opening and invited officials from the city’s cultural department to lend prestige. However, when someone at the banquet spoke rudely while encouraging him to drink, he was so enraged that he smashed the dishes and overturned the table, causing the banquet to end in chaos. After returning home drunk, he would often disturb the peace, especially in moments of excitement—he would roughhouse with our young child, who would end up crying in fright.

The most serious incident happened one time when he was drinking with his elder brother back in his hometown. For some unknown reason, an argument broke out at the table. Fueled by alcohol, he smashed an unopened bottle of liquor on his own head. Glass shards flew, and blood gushed out…

I lived in a state of constant avoidance, as he hovered between partial sobriety and drunkenness. My parents were both angry and heartbroken, deeply disappointed and worried about him. Life during that time was unbearable, and our marriage was on the brink of divorce.

My husband was fully aware of the absurdity of his behavior. The emptiness and anxiety he felt after sobering up made him even more depressed, like a man drowning in a sea of suffering with no shore in sight.

At a gathering, a literary friend recommended a book to him titled “Learning From Buddha” Always a lover of books, he found the text to be simple and easy to understand. It struck a chord with him—especially when he saw the miraculous youthful appearance of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III, he felt a deep, indescribable emotional stirring. A Bodhi seed was planted in his heart.

At another banquet, once again heavily drunk, he unleashed his fury. He scolded his superiors and coworkers without restraint, trashed the restaurant, and stormed off. On the way home, he threw his bicycle into the street. His colleagues helped him to our front door, but he couldn’t find his keys. After knocking a few times without response, he punched through the wooden panel above the door, reached in, and unlocked it from the inside. Our child and I were already asleep. He stumbled into the bedroom and collapsed on the bed fully clothed.

Around midnight, he woke up from his stupor to complete darkness. Disoriented, he struggled to recall where he was. As the pieces came together, cold sweat broke out all over his body—he had wrecked the restaurant, lost his bicycle, publicly insulted his director and department head… When he thought about all the disgraceful things he had done in the past, he wished the night would never end. If only he could hide forever in this blackness. But time moved relentlessly toward the next day and reality. He couldn’t imagine how to face life anymore and even contemplated suicide.

It was in that moment of utter despair that the image of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III suddenly appeared in his mind. That single thought became the turning point in his life. In that painful, hopeless night, he brought his palms together for the first time with true sincerity and chanted “Namo Dorje Chang Buddha III” with the devotion of a son crying out to his loving mother.

Perhaps due to the sincerity of his heart, as he continued to chant, the pain and torment within him dissipated. A cool clarity washed over his chest. As he went on, he felt his body dissolve, and before him appeared a vast, blue expanse… That miraculous night gave him true confidence in the Buddha-dharma.

And so, he entered the path of learning Buddhism. The incredible and supreme holy manifestations often moved him to tears. The book “What Is Cultivation” corrected his misunderstandings and biases. From then on, he firmly resolved to follow H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III for the rest of his life.

When the conditions ripened, he traveled to the United States and personally met H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III , receiving the Buddha Master’s personally transmitted supreme Dharma of meditative practice. After meeting the Buddha, his positive qualities such as eagerness to learn re-emerged. His previously volatile temper began to mellow, and his drunken episodes greatly reduced. As his bad habits faded, the family atmosphere slowly improved. Witnessing his day-by-day transformation, and through the passing of my father, I too began to reflect on the questions of life and death—and so, I also began to study Buddhism.

H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III often teaches in His Dharma discourses that true repentance is to never repeat the wrongdoing, and that we should start with small acts, beginning with those closest to us, then expanding outward to benefit others. My husband deeply realized how terrifying his past behavior was and how much suffering he had caused. He made a vow before the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas to never drink again, repenting thoroughly for his past karmic offenses.

He quit drinking. He quit smoking. This once arrogant, unruly, self-centered man who lived for alcohol had finally turned his life around. Following the teachings and precepts of the Buddha Master with grounded sincerity, his progress was swift. He became mature and upright. In the eyes of his elders, he was now a respectful and obedient son. To our child, he was a mentor and role model. In my eyes, he became a gentle, hardworking, emotionally aware husband and Dharma companion. To colleagues and friends, he was a self-disciplined, warm, and dedicated elder. To fellow Buddhists, he was a diligent practitioner of the true Dharma of the Tathagata.

This return of happiness fills me with a sense of awe and deep gratitude. It is truly the Buddha-dharma of H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III that transformed a mad “drunkard” into a man of value to society, a true practitioner with right view and right understanding.

阿不問法 第二十一集：佛菩薩保佑到底有沒有用？

很多的人們在逢年過節，家裡有人生病、愛情事業不如意時會去寺廟拜佛燒香，祈求佛菩薩能給予加持，希冀求得佛菩薩的護佑，能讓自己平安吉祥、事業發達、愛情美滿、無病無災。今天，阿不來師父處替眾人求知見：師父，佛菩薩的加持到底有沒有呢？

師父道：在現實生活中佛菩薩的加持，我們俗稱的保佑，是真實存在的。比如《觀音大悲加持法》，這一部加持法就是為眾生消除業障、增長福報、去除病痛等所行持的法義。這個法義是一種佛法力量的顯現。法會期間，被加持者將受佛法力量所左右，根據個人不同的業力，而產生種種不同的外表世相，有唱的、有跳的、有放聲大哭的、有在地下翻滾的、有神識飛出的、有見到佛菩薩的等等，這些現象都根據個人因緣與相應程度所展顯的不同境界。

阿不，在當今世界中，有不少的學佛者參加過這個殊勝的法會，得到了非常多的受用。

阿不說：是的，師父，我看到過不少佛弟子們參加法會後的受用分享，他們個個法喜充滿。真是何等的幸運啊。

師父道：是啊，阿不。在佛法中，不但有加持的法，還有能加持眾生的聖物。這些聖物是有等級的，真正能加持眾生表法顯境最高級的就是佛降甘露，祂是一種特等的法。佛陀師父南無羌佛在 2000 年就展顯了一部佛降甘露的大法，從虛空中請南無阿彌陀佛降下真精甘露，這不是人間的物品能代替的，因為這甘露在跳動，是具有生命力的顯現，而且異香撲鼻，降甘露的同時，缽中還無中生有地降下了一百多顆五彩舍利。當時有法王、活佛、仁波切、法師、居士等不少參會者親眼所見，還錄了像的。

其他的還有至寶丸、大寶丸、菩提金剛丸、菩提聖水、甘露丸、長壽丸、金剛丸、金剛帶、金剛砂……等等，有非常多的加持聖物，真正佛門的聖寶丹丸加持力是很大的。

阿不說：太好了，眾生有福了。

師父道：阿不，聽好了，任何的加持、任何力量都是要靠自己的修行換來的。自我修行，才是我們最重要的。所以不是隨隨便便就能得到加持的。

阿不問：師父。要如何得到加持和聖物呢？

師父道：說來話長，下次再告訴你。

阿不說：好的，師父。感恩南無羌佛為眾生帶來真正的佛法！

阿布合十：南無阿彌陀佛！
