快活的過日子

‧蓮生活佛盧勝彥‧

 我覺得修行不必不茍言笑，要將自己的天賦表現出來。

供養非千篇一律。

你會什麼就供養什麼。

這才是修行的調味上品。

在傳承及戒律之下，我們善加利用，可以用優雅的及幽默的，只要不失禮，什麼都可以嬉笑詼諧。

一笑解千愁。

我主張可以游泳。

可以跳繩。

可以打羽毛球、踢足球、單槓、雙槓。

主張可心畫畫、音樂、戲劇。

這是相當平易隨和的表現，用一點點的時間，會有神奇迷人的效果。

神功之效

文／釋蓮慈

   我的練功，是從一九九八年年底開始的。

   在這之前，我不僅完全沒有運動的習慣和嗜好，甚至，可以說，是個討厭運動的人。

   但是，九八年底，為了修行上突破的需要，開始練功至今，僅僅半年多的時間，在身心各方面，竟然都有了驚人的改善。

   這些改變，來得既快速又神奇，確實非常之好，非常之妙，是前所未有的，也正都是我所需要。

   體重減輕、體型改變――我原本是個連喝水都會痴肥發福的胖子，我一向最大的煩惱就是超重。但是，這半年內，體重居然輕而易舉的，自動直線下降。身上多餘的贅肉至少掉了二十五磅以上，還有繼續緩緩減輕的趨向，連四肢體型也都變得較前修長。

   四肢靈活柔軟，肢體彎曲自如――多年來，由於只知一味辦報打坐，完全置身體於不顧，以致患有脊椎鈣化、筋骨僵硬、坐骨神經痛、腸胃不調的宿疾。現在，這些症狀大都已不藥而癒，且身體步入中年的老化現象也大獲改善。全身筋骨生機重現，脈絡骨節日見柔軟，活動靈活，上下踢轉，前弓反弓，彎曲自如，柔軟度大大異於常人。

   氣血勻調、皮肉細軟、體力充沛――練功後，出入息倍加柔細慢長，綿綿密密，無聲無息。全身氣血調勻通暢，周身運轉，體力源源不絕，生化不已，全日不休息，也毫無疲乏困頓之感。全身皮膚幼細光潔，柔軟如嬰，顏面形貌恢復年青光彩。

   煩惱消除、身心安定、心境光明、智力增長――長時期練氣運功的結果，無形中，將身內脈結打通，濁氣排除，清氣滋長，日久功深，達形神合一，心氣合一，自然而然，黑業去除，煩惱消散，身心清淨，心境光明，心靈安定，腦內一片清涼，智力大大增長。

 

Benefits of a Divine Yoga Exercise

By Master Lian Tzi

 

I started practicing the Golden Mother Yoga towards the end of 1998. Prior to this, I was not in the habit of doing any form of exercise. To tell the truth, I actually dislike all sport events.

 To have a spiritual breakthrough, I started doing the exercise. Although the duration is short – only six months to be exact – I have found tremendous improvement in my physical fitness and mental alertness. This sudden change is marvelous. It is something I have never expected in the beginning. It is timely change for the better – what I need most at this time!

I started to lose weight and looked well – I used to be person who can put on weight easily. Watching my weight has been a life long struggle for me. During the past six months, I have somehow managed to reduce my weight and lost at least twenty-five pounds. I have never been slimmer before. My weight loss is still unabated albeit at a slower pace now.

As a result, my limbs have become very flexible. I can bend them with ease. In the past, I have been doing spiritual cultivation and busy with my newspaper work neglecting my own physical health. I have suffered from all kinds of illnesses; spinal problem, stiff bones, and alimentary disorder just to name a few.

Miracle did happen to me, without any medication, all my sickness was completely healed. My bones seem to have found a new life. The joints become soft and tender again. My movements are very nimble. I can perform such moves as upper kick, lower kick, and sidekick, forward bend, and backward bend with ease. Not many people can match my flexibility.

After doing the exercise, my energy and blood flows are evenly moderated. My complexion becomes soft and tender and I am full of vitality. My lung can accumulate more air and my breathing is soundless, slow, soft, slender, uninterrupted and long.

 I have a smooth and shining complexion just like that of a new born baby; as a result I look youthful and gorgeous.

By doing this yoga, the spiritual knots in my central channel were loosened. All the negative energies in my body were drained off; pure and clean energies started to accumulate.

After the mastery of this yoga, I have experienced the unity of body and mind, mind and energy. And this has led to the elimination of my unwholesome karma and anxiety.

 My intellectual capacity improves tremendously when I can feel the coolness of my mind resulting from a purified body and a stabilized mind.
