You may. 财施托人代放。老师, regarding 放生, if we are not vegetarians and do not chant regularly, can we just join the http://www.btrts.org.sg/index_birthday_celebration 放生 event, but 交由佛寺的人代替放生?
老师倒想问一问,Can I join the above event and 放生 on behalf of my parents?
如果,早前有接触《药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经》,那就一本。因为,enquirer没有提起《大悲咒》《心经》。老师,之前看见你和其他的 sister说难怀孕可以念"药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经",可是你advise 我别念先,concentrate 在心经和大悲咒。想请问老师有什么不一样吗?有一点confuse.我念心经和大悲咒会念七遍,ok 吗?
不知道去的是哪家慈善堂了。生人的名字哪可以留/写在棺材啊?老师没听说这个做法。那天朋友去泰国,有tumpang她施棺因为她刚好有去,朋友告诉我有一张收据(written our name)会粘在棺,然后会有师父念经,过后会拿掉。想问老师施棺程序是这样?可以不放名字的吗?有分别吗?
Can I join the above event and 放生 on behalf of my parents?
老师倒想问一问,
1. May I ask you what is your objective?
2. 你跟着去能做什么呢?
Hi gluttony, can share where do u get info of such activities overseas??
可以。要小心一点。指的不是人身安全问题。Related post #394 #451
可以。‘财施’放生有‘财施’放生的功德善报。
自己亲手放生 - 买鱼、找地点、念经(简化的三归一)、亲手放等等,是非常圆满。但是,放生不容易。日晒、雨淋、流汗、口渴、肚子饿、念经、手酸、腿麻、喂蚊子等等。
自己做放生实际上,培养慈悲心、百分百消灾延寿。这无形地包含了三施(财施、法施、无畏施)。三施功德具备,好得不得了。
首先,放生最好是一个名字for particular subject/matter. 比如,放二十只螃蟹,要一家大小平安,很难的。因为,功德散开了。(target is random and “at mass”)
比如,向菩萨发愿放十头牛,祈求菩萨开恩,希望ICU的母亲度过手术难关。这样做就集中了呀!(target is specific for a purpose and "at particular")You see the difference?
再来,
要是对方信,替他/她放生ok,有效!
要是对方不信,替他/她放生,打折扣。
吓死人了。Tidak boleh. 惹麻烦的。还好你问。
要帮(陌生)病人放是可以,
第一. 除非对方相信‘放生’。
第二. 病人亲口要求你代替放。
第三. 病人必须自己出钱。
家属情况又不一样了。
切记:千万别为cancer patients放生!
不知道去的是哪家慈善堂了。生人的名字哪可以留/写在棺材啊?老师没听说这个做法。
钱捐了之后,柜台的人会开收据。那张收据(有捐款人的名字),拿到佛前向菩萨禀报一声然后直接烧掉了。最便宜的一副棺木是3500THB。一个人捐2000THB的话,交由慈善堂的人来负责筹整数。Hatyai的慈善堂有收US dollars, Singapore dollars, Malaysian Ringgit and Thai Baht. 你要财施捐官,可以请朋友代做。嫌麻烦换钱的话,可以给Singapore dollars。
在泰国,有很多流浪街头,得艾滋病,穷人,发生意外,客死异乡的人。慈善堂的人截获通知之后,便去收尸了。Authority联络不到家属领尸,慈善堂就办法式然后处理大体。Related post #175.
‘施棺’- 是有功德。舍财施棺不求功德,也不需要祈求什么。善报交由是上天决定。
老师, 请问什么是卡阴?从小,我的母亲具不让我参加满月,白事。变得我是很避忌的人。 是不是一定不可以参加?Now that I am a mother of one early 30s le, my mum still tell me cannot go including my boy. Now it becomes like I dont have any close friend or even close colleague to talk to around. I recalled that's how I lost my childhood friend as her father passed away when we were around 8-9yo and back then, my grandma refused to let me attend his father wake or even console my friend. Now I faced the same thing. Seldom attend friends' kids birthday parties, full month bb shower parties blah blah. I feel so alone at times and feel bad to my friends all.
没错。Here's 老师's post on "卡阴" - 有关卡阴
I personally think it's right not to allow young kids, especially children under the age of 12 to attend 丧事 because their 天门 is not closed and is still very sensitive and vulnerable at this age. Even adults can get into trouble, not to mention kids. It's a different story if it's the immediate family members that pass away.
是的。有不少人是要避忌红白事。甚至连庆祝生日、吃满月饼等等都不可以。老师, 请问什么是卡阴?从小,我的母亲具不让我参加满月,白事。变得我是很避忌的人。 是不是一定不可以参加?
老师明白。Now that I am a mother of one early 30s le, my mum still tell me cannot go including my boy. Now it becomes like I dont have any close friend or even close colleague to talk to around.

可以。得要彼此信任。钱财要分清楚。Initially, I was thinking, we can probably organise a monthly animal liberation and aim to liberate at least 1 animal by pooling resources together, as a few hundreds dollars per month (to liberate one animal) may be too costly for some and will be deterred by the high costs. Because by pooling resources, we can help more animals escape the gallows and also the poor to be become self sustainable. But so seemed that it's not a good idea. But so seemed that it's not a good idea?
是可以。得先向菩萨/神明禀明,如:为什么亲人放生,目的是什么。然后祈求消灾延寿。之后才做放生。老师, if I 放生 on behalf of my parents (I wish for health for my parents. My parents are not ill, but like most elderly, they have the 3 highs), can I do it remotely, like what tigsong mentioned?
像这种情况,子女可以出钱代替父母放。得向菩萨/神明报先,求做见证然后才做。Or join the Buddhist Life Mission or Compassion Life Society animal liberation in Sri Lanka, where we donate for the animal liberation? If ok, do my parents need to pay for the 放生 themselves or can I do it without asking them to pay?
没有问题的。I know of someone who used to go Thailand to 施棺 very frequently. But after that their luck will be down for a while. Is it because there are some things that they have done wrongly when they 施棺? Singapore also have 施棺. Other than costs, are there any other differences doing 施棺 in Singapore or Thailand? I heard lots of people going all the way to 施棺 in Thailand, but they do not 施棺 in Singapore.
在新加坡施棺,少之又少。舍财施棺的原则不变,去到哪里一样。Singapore also have 施棺. Other than costs, are there any other differences doing 施棺 in Singapore or Thailand? I heard lots of people going all the way to 施棺 in Thailand, but they do not 施棺 in Singapore.
要是选择光明山。It is written. Read post #1070 <-click.请问我们可以开始报名参加超度法ŕ会了吗?
Call. Read post #1070 <-click.Do you more have information on that? Etc... where and when is the registration date ? Normally for 超度法会, what are we suppose to do? How long do we have to stay there? Can we buy baby clothing and some baby accessories to 供奉?
要是选择光明山。It is written. Read post #1070 <-click.where and when is the registration date ?
I think I have mentioned in the past. 抽出时间去拜。Normally for 超度法会, what are we suppose to do?
I think I have mentioned in the past. 拜完就离开。How long do we have to stay there?
不需要。两手空空。Can we buy baby clothing and some baby accessories to 供奉?
Understood.我二十多年前拿掉过两个孩子. 因为当时我已有三个孩子政府又不鼓励多生育. 经济上不一定负担得起孩子日后的费用.
ok.我每年都会参加中元节的超度法会.
没错!Good!有些人说婴灵超度后, 就得放下. 别再去执著、想它.
没有硬性规定。有钱每年做也可以。一年才两次。嫌麻烦就一年一次。但有些人又说婴灵超度法会得每年都做. 也得每年做个水陆法会.
超度法会一般在农历七月。水陆法会不是每年都有。经济允许的话,每年农历七月挂名超度是ok的。请问老师:
(1) 哪一种说法正确?
可以。答安同上。(2) 超度法会可以这样每年都做吗?
也可以。水陆法会久久一次,大型的庙宇主办,海外大僧团久久才来一次。(3) 水陆法会可以也是可以每年都做吗?
有意思。要麻烦子孙啊?呵呵...(4) 如果#2 和#3 需要每年都做, 当我以后走了以后, 需要吩咐孩子继续办吗?
不同牌,但可以同位。不同牌是分成两个牌子。两个牌子就两个价钱。(5) 做超度法会时, 是否能跟过世的祖先写在同个牌?
老师不够资格做‘师父’。老师跟一般没两样,做牛做马,打工领薪水的。我想請教一下我現在有一個10月大的女兒。。她在我肚裡時去照超音波發現我有子宮肌瘤。。三個月時去動手術。。懷孕後有順利產下。。可是嬰兒三個月大時去動了腸道手術。。說是birthdefect。。我有向觀音菩薩發誓說寶寶手術成功就戒掉我喜歡吃的牛肉,也有做到。。現在尚算健康 我家裡父親有心臟病動過幾次手術還裝了pacemaker
婆婆現在在醫院留醫因為受到感染。。而她去年發現染上肝癌。。chemotherapy了兩次。。是初期。。但她有心臟病,高血壓,糖尿病而以年邁所以沒動手術。。
我也因家裡時常有人抱病所以一直請假遭到公司不滿而兩個月前丟了工作。。
Will answer you.請問這些都是我們個人前世今生造的業嗎?
吃素念經可以幫得到我婆婆嗎?
請問我可以為我婆婆做點什麼嗎?
如果為自己消業,念什麼經?
為寶寶,念什麼經?

Even adults can get into trouble, not to mention kids. It's a different story if it's the immediate family members that pass away.
As for your childhood friend, at age of 8 or 9, you are still very young and so is your friend. All of you are probably still too young to decide if you should continue to friend or unfriend someone. A good pal will respect your religious beliefs and decisions. And all these are 小事。Not significant enough to make you friendless. Anyway, as we grow older, the once best pal may become your nemesis due to various reasons. Friends may come and go, but family ties are something for a lifetime.

老师明白。
有些人的运是不适合参加红白事。It differs yearly. 而每个人的流年运不一样。要是老师不小心看到对方的八字,会稍微提醒不会讲多。而对方要不要听是他的事,因为老师有开口说了,算对得起他了。不会强迫人家相信。
Hi gluttony, thanks for your reply! The thread is getting longer and I get lost easily. I can't help but feel "lonely" cos everyday come to office, never talk to anyone, never join any khakis, go lunch alone, finish work go home le. Kinda of 悲哀。 Pple just give me that kind of attitude & used to lunch khakis slowly dont talk to me. Initially I was like ok fine, I will just leave with it. As time goes by, I keep asking myself is it I got problem that others avoid me? This is not the first time it happened. It can happen which place I go to. How do I keep myself more positive & cheerful?
Ask 老师 to join us.. Hehe.. Then we can ask 老师 all our qns directly..Lol! Great idea right?
老师常不在新加坡。有机会的。Judy, ur idea jin swee lah but i think 老师 will 吓到 and run away lol.
不会遗传。我想问比如我真的是要避忌红白事的人(其使我每年看运,都是这句话),会移传吗? 因为我的儿子也是很这样.
Oops... 没得避。除非你不让他上childcare. 或许有其他的因素导致。只要childcare centre 有人生日一起庆祝,he will start nonsense "patterns" for a few days. 我能不能做什么to help reduce his frustration?
Looong thread... Already 20 pages.Hi gluttony, thanks for your reply! The thread is getting longer and I get lost easily.
Toblerone 老师需要一个FAQ session 把所有问题整合起来,这样能不能帮你省略一些回答重复问题的时间?毕竟搜索也要知道关键字。有了FAQ比较好找,您也可以考虑日后把它印刷成一本书。老师常不在新加坡。有机会的。

其实,也没啥时间上来forum board。Can consolidate all questions in one private message/board and then I will try to answer. Now, inbox is more than 40 private messages. 没时间看,应付不来。
在本地,郑海船的殡葬业公司免费包办一切。他越做越有知名度、越做越有钱。
新加坡人施棺,通常找靠近的地区 - 马来西亚或者泰国。
你的情况,老师同情啊!歹势。。老师。。谢谢 期待您的答覆。。
Hi Oln, beside what above Teacher Toblerone suggests, perhaps you would like to consider taking herbs at the same time. My dad has a tumor too and due to old age and health condition, we decided to opt out from the surgery and chemo. This is the blog that you can learn more about the herb. If you stay in the west, I know of a cheaper and nearer place to get the herb. Hope it helps for you and your grandma.我真的是家庭主妇,也想还我婆婆的养育之恩。。
请老师教教我吧。。多少消一点。。

有些大人/小孩连参加baby弥月party、大寿、婚宴要忌。人人看似好事嘛,其实并非如此。现在很多不管,happy just go 迷信什么. 即使有发生事,也会怪别人。实际上,他们的八字/流年是忌红事,自己不知道也不信这套。
Side discussion for child celebration
自己的小孩若忌红事又想要为自己的小孩庆祝生日,是有个办法哄小孩。可以在孩子生日前,提早买个蛋糕,不唱生日歌不吹蜡烛,分给大家吃就ok. Cake是有的吃又可以拍照,kid will be happy.
