FAQ POST

Question: Can I know what do we need to provide you to look into the kid's life?
Answer: 用不着看小孩的命盘。不知道比知道来得好。

花钱找人看，算命的肯定要赚你的钱，所以嘴巴裹蜜糖，讲好的不讲坏的。

Question: Actually for my children, their name was given by us (the parents) without seeking help to get names from professionals. I wonder is it good or not..</font>
Answer: 小孩子的名已经在birth certificate，就继续用好了。

除非，迫不得已的情况下要改姓换名，大可重新命名。

谈到‘起名’，命名有分不同派系，方法不一样。我知道很多做命名的师傅不是专业。风水师给人做取/改名服务最普遍。要不得的是，专门看阴宅（坟墓）的风水师也作取名字。连专门看阳宅风水师，同样要分一杯羹。实在是贪得无厌。有很多师傅不用手，却改用电脑批算。更糟的是，懒惰师傅吩咐徒弟做。看风水服务的钱多，命名服务赚的少，而且不是每次有顾客上门要求看住宅风水，所以，命名自然成了副行，于是在顾客身上多少刮一点。

Sometimes it makes me wonder, how could it be possible for a cardiologist prescribing medicine for psychiatric patient?

本地就有不少这类风水师，普遍使出这般烂招。那些常在报章打广告，上电视，无非是要打响名堂，搞噱头赚钱的。

Question: years back, i was at 光明山 to arrange 超度 for my daughter. The staff in the admin office gave me a copy of 地藏经。She taught me to chant n 回响 to my daughter. I made at attempt to 抄经 as well but didnt complete. The sutra was since kept in my bed room after i read through once.
Answer: 既然，光明山有人提议你念《地藏经》回向给你的至亲，为何不做呢？难道你要菩萨跳出来指点你念《地藏经》吗？仙佛当然找你有缘的人，借他/她的口说出来。

天天念《地藏经》，天天回向给你女儿。等有找早朝一日，女儿托梦给你，你就知道《地藏经》的“厉害”。

其实，你是该抄完《地藏经》的。抄任何经要有恒心。今日抄不完，可以改日再抄。要是越拖越久，会变得懒散，最后忘掉了。那就不好了。

地藏菩萨银行的支票差不多准备好了，你至亲的名字、以及款项都写了，就差你的签名。没有你的签名，要如何兑现呢？抄经也是如此。《地藏经》抄到一半，至亲收不到呀。是不是要她空欢喜一场？

Question: I am keen to explore going vegetarian but it's very tough since i cook for my family as well. Can i cook normal food for my family.
Answer: 总不能跟你家人/丈夫为信仰/抄经而吵架吧？家人要照顾，三餐要煮。你还是可以吃你的肉边菜，或者，你准备自己的那份。吃素念佛，不该搞到家庭不合。家庭要美满、夫妇要恩爱。

Question: what is your recommendation if i want to learn chanting and also 抄经？how do i do 回响 if i do not complete the chant in 1 day?
Answer: ‘抄经’或者‘诵经’两个可同时兼做。你可以先念‘心经’为基础，等你再熟悉了之后，再换另一部经。

念完一遍‘心经’不到五分钟。一天念九遍，或者，早、午、晚个九遍（总共27遍）都可以。过一些时候，才来抄经也不迟。
Question: i would like to start small and get it right and be consistent, rather then rush and drop it after.
Answer: 很好！

Isabelle...{{{{hugs}}}}}...Take care. Will pray for your son!

Thanks Jolyon for advice!

My experience is that timing is very important when it comes to getting familiar with a sutra.

When I was pregnant with my no 3 in 2009, my friend asked me to recite 地藏经。At that moment, I could not understand what was in the sutra. I gave up and concentrated on reciting 大悲咒 and 佛号。

When my father was very ill in 2011 and I was at my wits' end and depressed, out of the blue one day, I met my husband's uncle who is an ordained monk and he just spontaneously passed me a copy of 地藏经 and told me about all the benefits that got me interested (He did not know that my father was ill). It was as if he had been sent to answer my prayers.

The funny thing is the moment I opened the sutra, it all made sense. I could understand everything! It was as if I was suddenly given the wisdom to understand and appreciate it! I diligently recited every night. If I was tired, I only recited one chapter. The first time I recited and went to sleep, I heard in my semi-conscious state, the laughter of a kid. My mum recited and slept and she had the same experience. She heard a child's laughter and someone jumping on her bed.

At the same time,my dad, who was never into religion but only ancestral worship, suddenly got interested in 地藏王菩萨。One afternoon, he suddenly called me and wanted me to 请 a portrait of 地藏王菩萨 for him. He pasted it on his wall and recited 地藏王菩萨佛号 faithfully daily. He has a lot of 障碍 and had difficulty remembering the name. He even wrote down beside the portrait to read it. When he was very ill, one afternoon after a nap, he woke up and saw 地藏王菩萨 walking in his room with his staff (He only saw the back view) but he was sure it was the buddha.

We also turned on 地藏经 at night as we believe that only good spirits would come into the house to listen to dharma.

I diligently recited the sutra all the way till the last 49th day of my dad's passing on. I hope it has helped him get a better rebirth. So far, every year, we have been arranging for the chanting of 地藏经 on his death anniversary by the 师父 at 居士林.

I'm anxious because of the story that u mentioned the child can't live pass 5 yrs after u seen his ba zi. my child has leukemia when he's only 19 mths.

真实的例子是做引证分享，并非是要吓人的。

已经知道孩子的病情了，还要继续追查命理真相，这又何苦呢？

人家读了，岂不是lagi sad.

回头再来找你。我最近又开始忙了。

改念‘南无无量光佛’的佛号，是怕仙佛会责怪吗？

要是孕妇天天念经，天天念给未出世的孩子，每天决心念上一千遍佛号直到孩子出世，不只孩子有好处，妈妈受益无穷，爸爸也会应得到。

Pregnancy for 40 weeks, 每天念上一千遍佛号很划算！若加上吃素诵经和抄经回向，回报率超高! 孩子出世后，无后顾之忧，省一大堆麻烦了！孩子少业一生轻，将来人生旅途的绊脚石都搬开了。你说好不好？要孩子将来的路好不好走，是由父母做决定。

I have come across this tread accidentally and I have read all postings with high interest.

I am amazed with Jolyon's and few of your high profound buddhist knowledge which is very rarely come across.

I have no one to tell or share my personal experiences with as mostly do not believed around me.

Sorry in my workpl pc, I can only use English Keyboard.

I have been chanting "Di Zhang Wang Pu Sa fo hao" or Earth Store Sutra in my house before my child is born as I have more than once heard from my buddhist friends that this sutra is very good for mothers to chant and pass merits to their unborn child. This has proven helpful for my case. I have extended to put a radio which play "DI Zhang Wang Pu Sa Sutra" &amp; "Amitofo Sutra" &amp; also "fo hao" in my house to benefit all the "Zhong Yin Sheng" whom my husband and I believed they are good and wish to borrow our place for listening and reduce their bad karmas accumulated during their lifetime. Ater seeing yr post, I have discussed with my hsb whether we should continue to play at home but my hsb say we are trying to help them so it's alright.

Before my 1st child is born 2 yrs back, I heard a man's voice during my sleep but I didn't see anything or dreamt nor do I open my eyes....he say he will grant my wish and I will have a child very soon. I am very happy and tell only my hsb about the good new as I have experienced 2 miscarriage before this pregnancy during then.

And before this, when I have a bad fall in my life during my late twenties....I have 5 nights of similar dreams to prepare for what is going to happen and I am very thankful to Guan Yin Pu Sa as I am very well prepared when it really happened not too long after. I don't wish to elaborate what was that, but it really marked my life for another new chapter.

I believed if we are sincere in our praying to the bodhisattva, our wishes really will come true irregardless whether we hoped to have a son or a daughter.

每晚诵经(before 12am)念很好！

有阻力、有障碍难孕。作足功课！说不定到时不需要花钱做IVF，就自然怀孕了。

要念经的话，我提供给你两个options，任选一样。

Option 1　每晚念一遍《陀罗尼经》，（初学者）大约超过一个半小时。念完立即回向，不可偷懒。若念到不一年，有怀孕就让我知道。这本经书大多数的佛寺可以找得到（免费），或者，我免费邮寄给你。

Option 2 一套经文组合，念不完可以休息改日再继续。一个月内念完四张，立即回向，不可怠慢。两个星期以内念完四张更好，到时再加重。若念到不一年，有怀孕才通知我。经文我可以免费邮寄给你。

抄经、念经都可以。想要怀孕是很痛苦的，没有那么容易的。这是利于你们夫妇，我没赚你半分钱。不知道你是否有决心？

Hi everyone,

Thank you all for sharing the postings. I've been reading this thread and the advices are very valuable to me. After all the reading, I've started to 吃素 on 初一十五, a small step for me.

Jolyon: Out of curiosity, I went to google the video for 药师经. I clicked on one video that chants 南无药师琉璃光如来 repeatedly and started tearing once I heard it. The feeling is indescribable and the tears gradually stopped after a few mins. 是我太多愁善感了吗？　

Can I chant 南无药师琉璃光如来 before sleep every night?

 

[toblerone]

Dear Madam Heng,

我只看了你们夫妇两人是否有得子之运，其他的不看。

男命：没有问题（男孩女孩一样多）。他上半身开过刀，是一位硬汉子! 生育方面无大碍。

女命：孩子的运没丈夫来得好。2010年起运，2013年至2020年，有望（不过会辛苦）。你若曾经有怀孕，大概保不住。暗示：将来怀孕了，要加倍小心了。过了2020年，怀孕机率接近零了。你要选择抄经、诵经都可以。想要怀孕，诵读《心经》不够。

人在咳嗽时，一下子喝掉整瓶cough syrup, 不咳死才怪，这样永远不会好。

Dear Madam DL,

我只看健康，其他的不看。

身弱盤 - 盤子五行枯毀，故身子亦弱 為金水所害！
No.1 水为血、为肾 - 血最容易不清洁。
No.2 喉咙屬金有问题，忌金体。

注意：
(i) 小孩房间有金属的物质，统统收起来。小孩活动的地方要整整齐齐。乱/肮脏地方，就是有坤卦之象。坤卦对病人不好。
(ii) 小孩一生忌吃牛肉! 牛肉最害人不浅。别人吃牛肉没事是他的事，是他福报未消。
(iii) 食物以下两点（金属肉类有关）：

1.海鲜味道鲜美而且富含营养物质，但海鲜的安全问题不容忽视。贝类和海鱼已经成为重金属汞（mercury）、砷(arsenic) 的最大来源，如果常食用海鲜会导致重金属等有毒有害物质在体内积累而危害健康。体积大的海鲜体内富集的污染物。不能吃鱼头、鱼皮、油脂、内脏、鱼卵、鱼翅。

2.忌吃动物内脏。 动物内脏尽管有着独特的营养成分，但更有重金属沉积的危险。比如动物所吃的饲料，喝的水含重金属，都要靠内脏来代谢，重金属等有害物质就会沉积在内脏里，那些残留在内脏中的重金属，将会成为健康杀手。

壬辰年（去年2012），小孩是否有大病连绵？
癸巳年（今年2013），Around April 2013, 是否有出状况？
甲午年（明年2014），有小动荡。天机不泄漏，也不想给人骂乌鸦嘴。

癸合八字兩个戊。喜神被合又不化。 小孩9至18岁之间，健康犹如从新加坡骑punctured motor到吉隆坡。现在吃斋念经有得缓解，大事化小利于家人。

你不必去问乩童让孩子喝符水，或花钱去看ENT specialist。我教了你双面夹攻:
第一夹. 孩子该怎么调整（吃、环境）上面已经说了。
第二夹. 父/母/父母吃素念佛，代孩子消业最好不过了。

After all the reading, I've started to 吃素 on 初一十五, a small step for me.

很好！

Out of curiosity, I went to google the video for 药师经. I clicked on one video that chants 南无药师琉璃光如来 repeatedly and started tearing once I heard it. The feeling is indescribable and the tears gradually stopped after a few mins. 是我太多愁善感了吗？　

不是‘多愁善感’。

人有很多意识，其一是‘末那识’。好的坏的一起进入大脑，轮回的时候潜意识的记忆没有彻底洗掉。

所以，有些人梦是奇奇怪怪，因为多半是曾经（指的是前世）发生过。另一种情况是，不是梦。比如，来到一个地方非常熟悉（从没来过，而前世来过）、遇到一个人觉得面善（从未见过，而前世遇过）、听到佛经感觉特别窝心（实际上不知有这本经，而是前世诵念/听过）。

I know somebody who went to Thailand Kanchanaburi for military training. When he was at Kanchanaburi railway (参观‘死亡铁路’), he cried so miserably. Imagine, a hunky man cried until like a sissy! He said he does not why he behave like that. Unbelievably, he dreamt 7 nights continously and about how, where and when he died repeatedly. 从此之后，深信因果与轮回。

至于，你说的《药师琉璃光如来本愿经》，肯定与你上辈子有接触过。也许在你前世为死去的婴儿诵过此经，或许，你有一世出世不久后夭折了，有好心人为你诵了此经，又或许，你印过此经准备要送人的时候突然逝世，没有办法完成心愿。听闻《药师琉璃光如来本愿经》会流泪，100%接到药师佛的气场。

Hi Jolyn,

I have read a few of your threads and find your explanation very meaningful. Personally I believe in 轮回，因果报因 and 业障。
I have been feeling very frustrated over many things in life eg career, family. Nothing seems to be smooth. I always have to put in more efforts than others. My elder boy is very smart but we found out he has some learning difficulties. Both the elder and younger boys are naughty and active.

Some people told me 念经and抄经文helps to make your mind at peace. This helps to reduce业障for前世今生。
Can you advise me which scriptures is suitable. I like to do not only for myself, but also for my kids.

My friends recommend 无量受经。 is this suitable?

Thanks.

Hi ,

In addition, I have encountered a Thai nun who came to Singapore. She said I have caused harm to a woman in my previous life. She asked me to release a turtle to redemn my sin. She even caution if my first borne is a girl, I have not done enough. Well, I have done what she said.. And luckily my first borne is a boy. I have been thinking if my sin could be redemn this way? Or my frustration in life is due to my previous sin. Tt is also another reason why I like to start on 诵经to whom I have owed in my last and current life.

初学者念《无量寿经》怕会半途而废。念不到半篇开始yawn，嘴巴在念但心里在想起他的可不行了。

可以试学抄《无量寿经》。每天花一个小时写，写不完明天再继续，1个月30天花30个小时写，整本能不写完吗？抄完一部，等于一部的功德。上天不会多算，更不会少算。抄经是自己发心要去实现，日常生活照旧。若抄经抄到跟丈夫/家婆不合，岂不是白抄？

向诸佛菩萨许愿要在什么时候抄完几本。然后才开始抄。一边抄，一边无挂念，一笔一画专心想着佛号。最后的环节才还愿回向。

有意志力要念《无量寿经》的话，得一次过念完。

泰式有泰式的算法和方法。照着做不会少一块肉，也不会倾家荡产。

佛/道教也有此法。从浅到深，简单的复杂的方法都有。

新加坡有位姓蔡的老婆婆专门看三世书。现在，她应该不在世了。从三世书方面，有准确度，也有帮助。三世书内有一套补救的方法，只有解三世书的人才如何去巧妙运用。我认为补救，能到某一个程度。在偿还前世累计的冤债，

另两个方式得知前世过去 - ‘观落阴’、‘催眠’。
‘催眠’- 一般用在治疗心理病，或者，揭开心中的死结。
‘观落阴’- 到地府探花树、访元辰宫等等。特别针对自己的问题找出真相。</font>

很好。正确。

每个生物都有他/它的前世。今世/前世的账慢慢还。有还总好过没还/装傻。

‘诵经’、‘抄经’、‘印经’、‘布施’（包括：财施建庙/孤儿院/老人院、施棺、施药）等等，都可以回向。回向的方法简单，可以是verbally或者written.

Thank you for your enlightenment . I have lost the 无量寿经when I shift my house. Can you advise which other 经文 I can start to recite or 抄经?

抄经 - 《无量寿经》此经跟你有缘，就照旧好了。或许，当时上天是要借此经，为你挡灾避难，可惜你没用上。
诵经 - 《心经》入门其一。字数最少、含义最深、传奇最多、影响最大。

In fact I have started 施棺and contribute to the 7th month prayer for 冤亲債主。 understand its a continuous process which I will try to continue for kids.

太好了！

无形之中全家受益。

我在Phuket旅游时，目击一场毛骨悚然的车祸而。一场恐怖motorcycle意外，造成ang-mo的身体断成两半！It caused a massive jam. 义工团队两个小时后，才把尸体抬走后，可怜ang-mo的魂魄依然没离开事发现场。

我慎重安慰了他“政府会联络大使馆的人通知你的家人。不要计较谁把你撞死。有人会慷慨捐赠棺材把你的大体装起来。最后，我将请五方土地神明，牵引你该去的地方。”

诵经、抄经、印经、布施（施棺、施药等等）皆有重大的意义。不是语言和字体能表达的出来。

So many books to read and chant, which is for which

其实，念经、抄经并不复杂。或许是之前的解答多，所以令人读了之后模糊不清。现在，很多庙宇都有经书可以拿。

拜对神、诵对经、抄对经就有ok. 乱乱拜 (post 182; click here)、乱乱念，(post 287; click here)，恐怕得不偿失。

诵经、抄经很简单。就一部经罢了。

where can we get?

Did you see the blue house in the photo below ? 每逢初一、十五的四马路观音堂外，在那个位置有帐篷(blue and white canvas tentage) 。该处有免费经书可取。Posters, bookmarks, stickers, dvds, books &amp; etc. 不合意，不用拿。不怕不好意思。

Also, always hear people say cannot eat beef, can advise on this?

牛肉本来就是忌口的。太多人不懂了。

不吃牛肉者，绝对百益无害。呵呵...

1）请问如果想要内心平静，应该念什么经？ 能不能邮寄给我．

《心经》最好了！这部经在佛教三藏中的地位殊胜，就相当于释迦牟尼佛的心脏一样。

我会邮寄给你。

Hi Jolyon,

I tried to send private message to you but i cant. Did you turn on?

From your message to me, given Option 1 &amp; 2, i will opt for Option 2. As normally weekends, i will not be home early so is hard to chant. Just one question, issit a MUST to chant every night? As mentioned, my weekends are always late nights out. If you feel ok, Please send the Option 2 (一套经文组合，念不完可以休息改日再继续。一个月内念完四张，立即回向，不可怠慢。)
Appreciate your help.

im married for 10 yrs and been trying baby since then but no news no sound.Have tried IVF once but had a chemical pregnancy.. im lost cos i feel my hubby is not ready for the 2nd round this time.

从夫妇的八字，只是看了生育能力。其他的不看。

[Husband]

[Wife]

此男命，原局财被冲。这是身强，财弱之象。且七杀被克，这是子女不出之象。这不容易生的啊。即使有子女，容易夭折，怀孕期间障碍种种。唯独47运过后，才有机会老来得子。如果他没有办法改变他的生活作息，他是无法得子的。这是取象。取财，化七杀被食神制住。要强补生财之道。

1. 我真的怀疑，夫妇俩关系那么融洽吗？还是两个打工，连相聚的时间都没有？
2. 若你能你拍张你丈夫的上半脸给我看看就好。我觉得似乎有点不大对。

暗示：以后真的有孩子之后，需过契与别人。方能化解先天不足。过继就是要其子学习生存之道，因为子的生活作息，不合父母作息。找一对夫妇，愿意收你孩子。

另外提醒你丈夫，工作上是非多。要他改进运势运的话，首先不要多讲话，别人讲他们的不要管。无心话多又乱说，就自然造口业了。

怪不得十年没有消息，真正的原因不是你，而是出在丈夫的子女宫。还好没有再作IVF了，要不然准浪费钱！用心作功课好了。

不一定要在晚上，白天也行。到时，你就会明白。只怕你没决心，没有坚持到底罢了。完全需要花钱，也不需要问神吞符。

你要宝宝快点来，就得吃素行善。先每个月念六张，日后再加重。

这个是迫不得已的人工流产。

抄一遍《地藏经》（overwrite on the book itself），以及49天内完成一次（5张）的经文组合回向未出世的孩子。若有托梦，才让我知道。

回向之后，必须放下（不要再挂念）。不要回想当时的情形，要不然白费功夫。

《地藏经》与经文组合，我免费邮寄给你。

Hi Jolyon,

After reading your explainations, i dont quite understand.

1. 唯独47运过后，才有机会老来得子. what is the 47 运过后?

2. 我真的怀疑，夫妇俩关系那么融​​洽吗？还是两个打工，连相聚的时间都没有？
Meaning our relationshiop too good or not good?

[toblerone]

ENGLISH AND CHINESE LUNAR DATE/TIME

农历是农历，阳历是阳历。

懂得命理的师傅/老师都知道怎么算该怎么做！ 问者无需也没有必要提供农历出生日期/时辰!

Please write in one of the formats:

See example :
阳历/公历：30 May 2013 12.00pm (in English alpha-numeric format)
阳历/公历：May 30, 2013 12.00pm (in American English alpha-numeric format)
阳历/公历：30/5/2013 1200 (in English numerical numbers)
阳历/公历：30日5月2013年 中午12点 (阿拉伯数字与中文)
阳历/公历：2013年5月30日 中午12点 (阿拉伯数字与中文)
阳历/公历：二零一三年五月三十日 中午十二点 (in Chinese)
阳历/公历：三十日五月二零一三年 中午十二点 (in Chinese)
国历：民国2002年5月30日 中午12点 (in Chinese；commonly for Taiwanese )
农历：癸巳年四月廿一日 午时 (in Chinese)
农历：癸巳年四月二十一日 午时 (in Chinese)
农历：癸巳年四月二十一日 中午十二点 (in Chinese)

These are not acceptable and confusing.
1. This is suppose to be Chinese lunar calendar date, 5月30日2013年 1200, I will take it as 阳历/公历.
2. This is suppose to be Chinese lunar calendar date, snake year 5月30日, I will take it as 阳历/公历.

有两种可能：
第一. 懒惰算。方便他自己。
第二. 不会算。出来骗吃。

即使你不给我，我也知道该怎么算。

[Husband Birth Date: 02 July 19XX]

[Wife Birth Date: 05 August 19XX]

1. 你老公非常忙！时常不在家，到处往外跑对吗？
2. 多陪家里的加倍长辈。
3. 你家里是不是有打算装修、还是搬家呢？有的话，床位别乱安。

夫妇的八字（生育方面）没有多大的问题。小小障碍罢了！

你想要怀孕就你坚持做好功课。用心照着做。宝宝会快点到。

《心经》每日念7遍或以上。很轻松的默念/念出小声。你念久了就知道。

1. 能吃素最好。肉边菜也行。吃KFC后念经，你觉得如何呢？呵呵...
2. 女人‘月事’没有关系。没有忌讳。可以照念。

This morning I search for Xin Jing in youtube. Found the version by Faye Wong. Alamak! the moment I start listening, I cried. I must be very sinful? Care to explain. Negative one I dun mind cos I need to reflect on myself.

衔接菩萨的气场自然就会流泪。
没事。就继续接触《心经》。《心经》要念才算。

 

[wondersss]

Jolyon,

Thanks for your reply!! Im so touched!!! 十分感谢！！

1. 你老公非常忙！时常不在家，到处往外跑对吗？
He busy at work &amp; only reach home about 8+. Like to go out is true.. esp weekends, like small kids always want to go out and walk.

2. 多陪家里的加倍长辈。
加倍 meaning elders issit? His parents just shifted in with us but he don't like to stay at home.
3. 你家里是不是有打算装修、还是搬家呢？有的话，床位别乱安。
打算装修 - nope cos we bought the flat few years ago but just additional alot of stuffs cos his parents move in with us and alot of barang barang. Should not affect right since we never move the bed. Just add-on his parents bed.

Lastly, i like to thank you again for your kindness.. 我会好好做好功课 ：）

Need to <u>do home work</u> and understand the meaning. Thanks.

她们作的功课不同。而是我邮寄给她们经文组合，要吃苦头的。一步一步来，最后的步骤是火力全开！

生育困难、婚姻危机、体弱多病、超度婴灵等等各方面要对症下药、斩草除根、连根拔起！

我在等哪个先放弃。不是我在出难题，是上天和无形业障在考。熬得过的话，到时就知道仙佛菩萨没有骗人。

Lisa (sugarsweet) email May 31, 2013

我没建议你给人念。你给自己念，搞定自己。

比方说，你有严重的伤风感冒，自己得要康复先。难道要传染给人吗？

有一位老ah-sou, 为她子女的婚姻头痛。她没吃素又自动念《地藏经》回向给子女，结果越念身体越觉得不舒服。不是地藏古佛没有保佑，而是自己没有解决自己的问题。小学没念完，跑去读PhD.
