學佛要趁早，不要臨時抱佛腳
聽衆：同修的兒子才一歲，幾個月前突然生病住進醫院，呼吸困難，只能靠呼吸機維持生命，已經在重症監護室待了大概五個月。醫生也不能確診，懷疑是呼吸系統的神經性肌肉萎縮，沒法確定治療方案。現在同修爲了救兒子，已經許願：吃全素；送1000張小房子，已經送了400張；放生4萬條魚；還許願每年度200人。但是這小孩的症狀還沒有緩解，他們家又沒有錢來轉院治療。請問師父，這個同修下一步該怎麼辦呢？

臺長答：首先，這孩子的業障一定很重；第二，他所做的一切都是在孩子生病之後

（對的）我問你，人家跟你做好朋友很多年了，突然之間有事情來求你，還是這個人素不相識，突然之間他有事情來求你，你更容易幫助哪個？

（對的，他種的因還沒有果）你臨時抱佛腳……菩薩不是貪官，你給他燒燒香、放放生什麼，你現在改好了，菩薩馬上能夠把你過去的因全部改掉？菩薩不動因果的（是的）

所以問題就是在這裏，爲什麼很多已經修心的人，等到他一旦有難的時候他就避開了呢？

（他有這個功德來擋這個災）對了，他已經有功德了。這種就是臨時抱佛腳，很不靈的。“臨時抱佛腳”這句話講了幾千年了（對的，還是功德不夠）我舉個簡單例子，這棵樹已經爛掉了，你只有把它全部砍光，然後重新再把好的種子撒進去，才開始長出好的苗。這沒有過程的？這棵樹已經爛掉了，你把好的種子撒進去，它會長出來好的？把好的都弄壞掉了

（對的。師父，您比較慈悲，因爲我先生和我一直想着這個小孩的問題，前天早上您就在我先生的夢裏給這個小孩看圖騰，但是您講的內容他沒有記住。這個同修也比較着急，一個勁催我們打圖騰電話，我們打了幾次也沒有打通）你先生沒有聽到師父講什麼話，師父在夢中是看圖騰，不是幫他治病。你聽到過師父直接幫多少人治病的嗎？如果我能幫他治病，他就有福氣，說明這個人氣場很好。現在只是看圖騰，就是在告訴他一些問題。你看這種媽媽，盯住人家，現在這麼做了……唉，這種事情已經爆炸了，就是變成廢物了；如果沒有爆炸之前，就是堆滿了雷管、炸藥的山，你叫它不爆炸，它照樣是一座山，可以慢慢地消掉，不讓它爆炸；今天已經爆炸了，全部成了爆炸物、廢物，去打掃“戰場”吧

（那我們也就隨緣了）你就跟她說：“慢慢地來，只能這樣隨緣，天天求，菩薩會慈悲的。”但是不要用這種心態：“哎呀！我燒多少小房子了，我放3萬條魚了，怎麼還不好啊？”你這種心態，怎麼求得好事情啊？這世界上哪一個事情是一求就靈的？就算一求就靈，也要兩三天、三四天吧。很多人癌症一個月才好的，最快了吧

（嗯。感恩師父）

DON’T START PRACTICING BUDDHISM IN TIME OF EMERGENCY, START AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE!

Caller: A Buddhist friend’s son is only one-year-old. A few months ago, he suddenly became sick and was hospitalised. He has some breathing difficulties and must rely on a breathing machine to sustain his life. He has been in ICU for five months. Doctors cannot diagnose the disease and suspect it is a neurological muscular atrophy of the respiratory system, but the treatment has not yet been confirmed. 
 
Now, in order to save the child, the Buddhist friend has already made vows to become a full vegetarian, recite 1,000 Little Houses, where she has already burnt 400; to liberate 40,000 fish; and promote Buddhism to 200 people every year. However, the child is no better and they do not have the money to transfer him to another hospital for another treatment. Please, Master Lu, what should this Buddhist friend do next?

Master Lu: First, this child must have heavy karmic debts; second, all of these were conducted by the parents after the child became ill.

Caller: Yes.

Master Lu: Let me ask you; if there is a person who has been your friend for many years and there is a person who is estranged to you, but both suddenly need your help, which one would you be more willing to help?

Caller: The person who has been my friend for many years. That means the cause, which the Buddhist friend has planted, hasn't yet borne fruit.

Master Lu: Some people practice Buddhism in times of emergency, but Bodhisattva isn’t a corrupt official. They offer incense to Bodhisattva, liberate some fish, and so on; they become a good person now, but do you think Bodhisattva can instantly modify all their karma from the past? Bodhisattva doesn’t intervene with the laws of cause and effect.

Caller: Yes.

Master Lu: That is the problem. Why are many people, who already practise Buddhism, able to ward off calamities in times of need?

Caller: Because they have sufficient merits and virtues to ward off the disaster.

Master Lu: Exactly, they already have merits and virtues. The child’s parents practiced Buddhism at the last minute, so it won't be effective. As a long-standing Chinese proverb said, ‘To clasp the Buddha's feet at the last minute’, meaning not making an effort until the last minute.

Caller: Yes, there still aren’t enough merits and virtues.

Master Lu: For example, a tree has already started to rot. You can only cut it down completely, and then plant a seed into the empty soil, so it will grow a new and healthy sprout. There is a process.  If there is a rotten tree, and you plant a new seed in there, will it still grow healthily? No; the rot will take over the new seed.

Caller: Right. Master Lu, you have great mercy and great compassion. My husband and I keep thinking about the problem of the child. During the morning of the day before yesterday, you looked at the Totem of the child in my husband’s dream, but he didn’t remember anything you said. The Buddhist friend is anxious and keeps urging us to call the Totem radio program. We tried several times but couldn’t get through.
 

Master Lu: Your husband didn’t hear what I said, I was just looking at the Totem in his dream, not curing the child’s disease. Have you ever heard how many people’s diseases have been cured by me directly in their dreams? If I cure his disease, that means he is blessed and has good aura. Now I was just looking at the Totem to tell him the problems being faced.
 
Now these things have already erupted, and been turned into junk. Before the eruption, it was just a hill filled with a heap of detonators and bombs. If the hill doesn’t explode, it is still a hill that can be stopped from erupting while karmic obstacles are gradually eliminated. Given that it exploded today, it has already become a heap of explosives and junk, and you will have to clean up the mess.


Caller: Then, we should act in accordance with the conditions instead.

Master Lu: You need to tell her, ‘Take it slow. You can only act in accordance with conditions. Try to pray every day. Bodhisattva is merciful and compassionate and will give you blessings’. However, she shouldn’t have this kind of attitude, ‘Ah! I have already burnt a lot of Little Houses, liberated 30,000 fish, why isn’t my child any better?’ With this attitude, how can the prayer come true? In this world, is there anything which would come true instantly once you prayed? Even if there were, it would still take three to four days. Many people require one month to completely recover from cancer. This is already the fastest case.

Caller: OK. Gratitude to you, Master Lu.
