台长语：听众朋友们，今天是2020年10月11日，星期天，农历八月二十五。下面开始解答听众朋友的问题。 第1位听众 Wenda20201011 00:48 师父为众生过于劳累 女听众：最近全世界的佛友都在牵挂着您，都在为您放生。想请问师父，最近您身体怎么样？ 台长答：蛮好，能够恢复恢复就是往好的方向发展，累，太累了（是）十几年下来没日没夜的，太累了，一下子瘫掉（感恩师父，辛苦了）太累了。一个人就像一辆汽车一样，不能太累的，太累总归要有毛病的，积劳成疾啊（我们一定努力好好修，然后有条件多多为您放生。感恩师父） Wenda20201011 01:39 看图腾选名字，个数越多越消耗能量 女听众：最近图腾节目很多是让师父选名字，听到过同修问16个甚至20个名字让师父选。想请问师父，如果名字越多的话，是否会消耗您的能量越多？ 台长答：那当然。你说100个，我不要在100个里面帮他挑啊？（是的）你说100个，我就要在100个里面帮他看哪个亮，哪个跳出来。你说5个，我在5个里边看，你说哪个消耗？检查100个产品和检查5个产品，你说哪个消耗能量？（明白） Wenda20201011 02:19 女人取名字要注意谐音，属阴的字不好 女听众：师父选名字的话，是不是先通过图腾看光亮，然后再看谐音是否合适？是不是有一些师父已经开示过不太好的字，我们自己可以筛选掉，然后再让您看？ 台长答：对。阴的字不太好的，一个女人不能什么“yin”，声音很像的这种（对，还有师父开示过一些跟“yan”字谐音的）冰、水……这些都要当心的，一个女人已经属阴，你又是水又是冰，这不闯祸？明白了吗？（明白，感恩师父） Wenda20201011 03:02 如何理解“晚上只要求菩萨保佑平安” 女听众：师父有次开示，我们白天多祈求需要求的事情，到晚上就只要求菩萨保佑我们平安。请问师父，这个具有普遍性吗？ 台长答：普遍性（那晚上我们就只求菩萨保佑我们能够平平安安？）对（请问这个有原理吗？我们怎么去理解？）当然有原理。白天你刚刚新的一天开始，你可以求菩萨保佑你事事顺利；到了晚上睡觉了，睡觉平安，因为睡觉你还阴阳调和，你一半属于阴，一半属于阳。噩梦不做，你不是平安？在阳间不要有事情，半夜里来敲门，你说算好事吗？总不好吧（对。感恩师父） Wenda20201011 04:01 许愿做一百件好事可否记录在手机上；善恶分明，不能抵消 女听众：许愿做一百件好事的话，应该怎么记录比较好？是可以用手机记录还是要写在本子上？ 台长答：手机记录也可以，都可以，反正你成文字了，你记上去，天地鬼神都会记的。你看看很多人搞那种黄色的东西放在电脑上卖钱、弄出去，全部下地狱，电眼地狱（是的。请问师父，如果我们记录了一些善事之后，自己作恶的话，那这些善事还能够算数吗？）善事归善事，恶事归恶事，它不能抵消的。你善恶分明的，善事报应也是善，那就是为什么很多人在倒霉的时候也有人帮他，就是因为他过去生中在做不好事情的时候他也做好事，明白了吗？（明白了，那只有功德能够抵消我们的业障，是吗？善恶的话，是善有善报？）对。 Wenda20201011 05:16 请人代放生，双方都算一善；有时用心行善比用物质行善还要多 女听众：师父，您曾在2018年1月21日的《玄艺问答》节目里开示过哪些是为一善的，其中有一个说关于放生的：一命一善，小的生命十条命为一善；大的命，比如狗跟牛为十善，一条大鱼一善，一条黑鱼一善。请问师父，如果是请别人帮忙自己代放生一次，那自己和帮忙的人都能够算一善吗？ 台长答：对，全部都算的，他帮助你他怎么不算一善？都算的（其中还有一个，念诵佛号千声，是算两善。如果我们许愿念诵1000遍观世音菩萨的圣号的话是否也可以属于两善？）可以的，我昨天回答另外一个佛友的时候讲了很多，你的一个意念都能一善，就是说一个意念就是代表着你的善，因为用你的心来行善有时候比你的物质行善还要多（明白）就像过去佛经上讲的，你就是用这种七宝，人间的七宝来做善事，还不如你救度众生给人家法布施（明白。弟子感触这个其实就是师父给我们一个妙法，让我们能够处处有善念善行，就没有恶的念头）对（可以帮我们避开很多天灾人祸，因为现在确实太多）对（感恩师父） Wenda20201011 07:00 前世恶毒导致今世重病，可否许愿一万遍礼佛大忏悔文 女听众：昨天师父图腾看一个重症脑瘫的孩子，师父说他因为前世笑穷人、打骂穷人，所以今世会被人家笑，因果报应真的是真实不虚。师父还给他开出一万遍的礼佛大忏悔文。请问师父，如果有同类的重症病人，这个一万遍礼佛大忏悔文是否具有普遍性呢？ 台长答：有。他如果也是前世……他没让师父看过图腾，他自己要做梦做到过他曾经是如此地恶毒，那要一万遍都可以的（明白了） Wenda20201011 07:45 […]
