Once you know what to do, you should immediately follow through instead of finding excuses to hinder yourself. Success is achieved by those who act.

We should use our wisdom to turn the illusory world into a state where something arises out of nothing, and where within nothing, there is something. In the world of emptiness, the illusory self arises. We should cultivate the spiritual existence, which can remain in this illusory world forever. In the meantime, in the physical […]

问172：师父开示过，如果许愿念某种经文十万遍，那你念到十万遍效果就特别好。请问，有哪些经文可以许愿十万遍？要怎么念，怎么算，怎么祈求呢？ 答172： 可以许愿念十万遍的经文，一般可以包括：大悲咒、心经、七佛灭罪真言、消灾吉祥神咒、准提神咒、解结咒。建议许愿十万遍大悲咒和心经，能量会更大。 礼佛大忏悔文不能许愿十万遍，遇到大事情要忏悔，可以108遍一拨一拨许愿（除非特殊情况一般不建议许愿过大的数字，以免激活），并且每天按照正常的许可数量念诵，譬如平常日子一般功课不超过7遍，特殊日子不超过当天的上限（详见佛学问答161．有关特殊节日及佛诞日念诵《礼佛大忏悔文》的问题）。 往生咒不能许愿十万遍，只能一万遍一万遍许愿。 许愿的十万遍经文，最好不包括功课、自修经文和小房子中的经文，建议单独许愿和计算为好。如果您许愿了某个小咒十万遍，比如许愿解结咒十万遍化解与先生的冤结，如果您平时功课就是为此祈求的话，那么功课就可以跟这十万遍合在一起念诵；如果功课所念小咒的祈求与十万遍小咒的祈求不同的话，就必须要分开念诵。 许愿十万遍要在佛台前许愿，和菩萨说一个期限，并且说出相应的祈求。比如心经可以求开智慧等等；大悲咒可以求身体健康等；七佛灭罪真言可以求消业障等；准提神咒可以求某事顺利等；解结咒一般可以祈求化解自己跟某人的冤结或者泛泛祈求化解自身的冤结。 十万遍（及以上）解结咒的功效很多，可以祈求治疗各种慢性病、疑难杂症，譬如祈求化解老年痴呆。任何年龄都可以念，有病治病，没病防病。祈求观世音菩萨、南京菩萨都可以。南京菩萨是治病的，观世音菩萨是慈悲护佑的。还可以许愿一万遍解结咒来化解“三六九”岁数的关劫等。十万遍解结咒还可以针对孩子不爱学习，祈求化解冤结，保佑孩子开智慧、学习进步。 许愿十万遍经文之后，就可以每天不限遍数的念诵。比如大悲咒和心经，可以在每天固定的功课遍数念完以后，再不限遍数念诵这十万遍经文。 要统计好自己的念诵数量，念完要跟菩萨说一下。 许愿十万遍经文，一般不存在激活的问题，不需要配小房子。 也可以为家人许愿一个很大的数字的经文，然后每天可以不限遍数的念完。各人的数量要分别计算清楚。但帮别人念经求事情有可能背业，比方说，子女帮长辈许愿十万遍解结咒化解老年痴呆，如果长辈时间差不多已经开始要老年痴呆了，子女就可能自己得老年痴呆，这个会背业很厉害，要量力而行。 一般人都可以这样许愿来念，包括孩子、孕妇和重症患者等，关键是要诚心念诵，都有效果。 也可以许愿十万遍观世音菩萨圣号，但是许愿念诵某种经文的能量也会更大。
