All Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the Master is compassionate, all Dharma masters, and all Buddhist friends, Amitabha! Tonight it's Jinyi's turn to make a Dharma connection here. Scholars rarely teach the Dharma in public because they are assigned to it. I want to learn to smile at this moment and accept the arrangement with a soft body and mind. If I am wrong, please correct me with compassion.
I am from Malaysia. I have been serving in the ashram in Malaysia since I received full ordination in 2002. Except for the occasion when I came to the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas to participate in the Repentance of Ten Thousand Buddhas, I stayed in Malaysia the rest of the time.
There are currently four monasteries open to the public in Malaysia, namely Dharma Realm Guanyin Temple, Dharma Realm Guanyin Temple, Seremban Avalokitesvara Temple, and the Penang Branch of the Malaysian Dharma Realm Buddhist Association. The master asked me to talk about my life in Malaysia. I will briefly introduce a monastery that everyone is familiar with, which is the Dharma Realm Guanyin Temple.
The Dharma Realm Guanyin Temple is in lively operation every day. In addition to those who come to dine at the vegetarian restaurant, tourists from other countries also come here. Unknowingly, it has become one of the must-visit Buddhist tourist attractions in Malaysia. . The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva enshrined in the ashram is very efficacious. Many believers come here to worship and receive incredible reactions. Here is an inspiring story from a real person.
There was a layman who had been married for a long time but could not have children. One day he came to the Dharma Realm Guanyin Temple and saw the pure and solemn appearance of the Bodhisattva. He felt happy and thought: If the Bodhisattva can fill my heart for many years, What a great wish! Before she returned home, she consulted our Dharma Master and confided her wish. The Dharma Master told her: Just pray to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva will fulfill your wish. As a result, the layman knelt before the Bodhisattva and made a vow: If I could have children, I would be willing to be a vegetarian for the rest of my life! Study Buddhism diligently! Be a Buddhist who follows the religion!
The layman was married to a foreigner and did not understand Chinese, so he communicated with the Bodhisattva in English. A few months later, the lay lady came back happily to report to us that she was pregnant! The doctor also said that the fetus was healthy. When the layman returned to our monastery, he knelt down and kowtowed in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. After kowtowing for a few times, he came up with another thought: It is not easy for me to have a child. A child without a companion will be very lonely. Bodhisattva, can you Give me one more? Seeing that the Bodhisattva had no reaction, the layman just left it alone.
When she was about to give birth, the layman kept reciting the holy name of Guanyin, and she gave birth to two babies, and they were twins with different appearances. The doctor did not diagnose twins at all during her pregnancy. This frightened the doctor. When the layman found out, he cried with joy and was grateful to Guanyin Bodhisattva for not disapproving of her greed. Just as "Pumen Pin" said: If you desire a girl, you will give birth to a decent and good-looking girl. Her twins will officially attend our Peide Girls' High School this year.
