以下的言論皆源自於我這五個月來的東南亞旅行經驗，當然我無法以偏概全地說這些日子來只有負面的成長體驗，畢竟每個人的旅程不同，個性和抉擇也不同，甚至幸運度也不同；但是能多知道一些招式避開一點麻煩，未嘗也不是件經驗的積累與學習🤓🤓

All these following experience were based on my SEA trip which is counting 5 months so far, I ain't say there's nothing good here, how ever to know more to avoid more necessary troubles are indeed, how do you say😆😆

-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-

Take care what are you paying for.
Dine in the shop? Getting a room or bed? Pay for the entrance? Make sure you double, triple check things up n welcome to SEA🍈🌞👙

餐廳點餐嗎？住宿找房嗎？景區買票嗎？
噢哇哇哇嗚，記得再二、再三確認一下所有細節，哈雷路亞，你會發現許多世界真奇妙。

然後，歡迎來到東南亞🌴🌻🍉🍍

After 5 months traveling in SEA, Let's talk about the latest thing just happened to me.

其實幾乎每天都有新的暴怒秒斷線場景發生，也瘋狂地都想寫出來讓大夥兒知道旅行路上到底藏匿了多少不知道；但要碼是決定打開滿背包的酒精喝他一個暢快，要碼是還是想出外跟著路上新歡探一探新的處女帶；再加上新電腦第二次爆炸掉，總總加上林林，唉還是先來說說我最新產出的暗事吧

I was booking through Hostelworld to stay at Vang Viang rock backpacker hostel for 2 nights which the price showns about 23k kip (around $2.9 ) per night (8000 kip is a dollar) as you need to prepaid the service fee to the searching website, so I was paying $1.32 n leave the rest of the $4.68 while check in. However the owner of the hostel was show up with total amount of 60k I need to pay for 2 nights stay, after I remind him I prepaid some on line already n he was replied back "yes yes OK OK" then kept on repeating 60k I need to pay, so I wasn't really pay too much attention on it, since I was tired by the long ride plus I thought I did my confirm already.

有高於一半多一點的機會我會在到下一個目的地前先網上訂好房，沒為啥因為這些個國家網路之爛還有所謂的“ XX 時間 （請自行放入各國家名）” 簡單來講就是時間表聽聽就好別當真。

不管怎樣，在原應開四小時最多五小時就能到的地方，因為司機想多沿街拉點人填飽點口袋餵飽點全家，我凌晨三點半（開了十二小時）才被丟到空無一人的荒野街上，半猜半走半驚慌的終於找到我該住的青旅。查價時還是很爽的，近乎150天平均住宿約莫落在100塊，最最貴也不過165，跟其他地區動輒3、400起跳的除了沒冷氣、沒廚房、衛生環境很差、大抵沒有交流區、比起說青旅倒不如說是住民宿別人家、沒人能講英文、網路永遠連不上線、櫃台永遠都找不到人之外倒也沒辦法抱怨什麼。

There for, I took out the only 100k I was having (there was only a 100k n a 2000rip note in my wallet) however the owner was shows up with loads of note front of me also started to count: "1000, 1000, 1000, 2000, 1000, 2000, oh I don't have enough! I own you 2000" .
I was feeling there's something wrong, but since he was kept telling me "this is OK, this is OK, I own you 2000 with a big smile" so I wasn't really think too much just took the deck of thousands n went back to my room.

總而言之呢， 頂著一副反正我已經打理好不知道哪來還學不到教訓的自信心，及平白因為大巴誤點浪費了一天床費的我走到了櫃台邊想Check in。“好哦，倆個晚上（連昨晚）六萬kip (8k 老撾幣= 1美金= 30台幣 )”， 因為長途巴士的關係其實我的精神還頗遭雖然說我有覺得對這六萬好像沒啥記憶點跟連接點，但是憑著掌櫃的持續不斷像唸RAP一樣的一直跟我說六萬六萬六萬六萬倆個晚上付我六萬，再丟了一句我網上有先付過手續費囉之下，掏出了我錢包中僅有的一張100k (10萬) 然後再看著他掏出整個口袋後開始算錢給我看：
1000、1000、1000、2000、1000、2000啊我欠你2k

I was in room while I tried to sorted my things out also put the change back to my wallet there comes just a thought, how much did I exactly booked per night? So I opened my Gmail n checked the price again, it is writing 6 dollars in total (48k kip, even you count the rate a bit higher then it should be around 50k), but I was been asking for 60k, there was even some prepaid bill already, there is no reason he charged me even higher amount then what I should have to pay, I was getting quite panic n recall back the memory then there comes more of it: I was hung the owner 100k, even he charged me 60k, I still should have the 40k change back, but he was tricking me with those thousand note, so instead of 40k, I got 8k withing pure thought he owns me 2k, what's a play, what a jerk.

其實我還是覺得很奇怪，從頭到尾。可是腦子真的轉不太動，加上他一直用傳直銷那種震撼人心的精神喊話附送一個招牌笑容；所以莫名其妙之下我就半抓著頭邊上樓了。倚著床坐下，好奇心驅使之下我還是試著重開Gmail想確定一下我到底訂的價錢是多少，沒想到不開還好一開嚇到，我明明總房費只需6美金（48k）就好啊，他跟我要了60k，再加上我事前早就預付了差不多12k，他還在那邊堆著笑跟我OK OK？

瞬間我又覺得不妙，翻了一翻他找給我的錢臉拉的又更沈了，你媽媽的果真只有8k？就算依著他的60k 加他嘴裡說的欠我2k好了，剩下的38k 咧？

I went to tried argue with the owner, he was totally denied it, says the hostel will never charge the price so low till I showed him the proof from my Gmail then he turned down n said I was giving him 70k only n he did pay me back the money already. As the Q & A is like catching ball I see this ain't go no where, so I asked him to call back the video which he did, because I started to get some quiet attention already (which is good).

房裡的小夥伴們聲聲催促著我別再算了，趕快下樓找他對帳，我也覺得沒錯時間拖得越久越容易裝傻賴帳，於是我下樓又重新霹靂啪啦蹦地把事情經過跟他重覆一遍；沒想到他真的開始演台劇八點檔了... 一下跟我說他已經找錢完畢了，一下瞪大眼睛跟我裝傻說青旅哪有可能有這價錢，一直到我開了信箱給他看我的訂單收據，他才換口說好吧好吧那我給你預付的錢，丟了一張20k 給我後，我繼續跟他討著我那消失的欠款，那想到他口口聲聲換咬定著我只給他70k了。

On the screen I can clearly see I did only giving him one note which is a 100k note, but 2 note as 1 50k n 1 20k like he said, so I was calling n said see its only one, then I realized him wasn't even watching the screen. I was getting angry, there are 3 people (include 2 other guests) checking the screen together with me, as we all confirmed that I did passing him only one note, but he just kept pretending busy as there are other things to do then this situation: Try wave to air, even there are no people, say hi to other guests while they walk down stairs, pretend there's nothing happened. I was showing him 5 times in total on the screen, but he always tells me he didn't see, so I just have to keep rewind back to let him see it. During the meantime, these two men also came up to asking for overcharged, I was getting surprised, we got to talked in private n realized he was using that same same but different trick to them as well, so I walk to the couple who they are in my room, tell them what we just found, then they also found out they were paying for 4 dorm room, but got putting in 10 dorm in the end with the charging price still keeping as higher one 4.. The owner was excuses he wouldn't put any more guest inside to make it a 4 people dorm, the young couple were buying it for endding up the whole messed situation and at the end I was just able to get back my "missing 2000 n another prepaid bill 20k, all the rest is just end up as the owner started to avoid me n so this is kind of the end of this shitty story.

剪不清理還亂神經還驟斷的情況下，我叫他把監視器調出來看，他照著做了，因為我一直在櫃台邊的關係，開始有房客開始默默關注我們的動態（有人氣就有牆壁）他開了影片，我立馬衝到櫃台裡盯著銀幕看，果真，清楚地紀錄下我伸給他一張10萬的鈔票，而非他口中一張50k、一張20k的兩張共70k的鈔票，搖擺得意的扭頭過去大叫：你看，我給你一張10萬的同時發現他根本就沒在看；再跟他說一次剛剛顯示了我確實給你一張10萬鈔票之後，他竟然鬼打牆的接著照說你給我7萬。於是我們就這樣來來回回的重複著我倒轉影帶叫他看然後他硬是忙著用手摸一摸桌上的文件資料，裝著跟對面根本就沒人的空氣打招呼說嗨之下，整整五次，我重調給鬼看影帶。

講話的途中，另外兩個男生也臨櫃吵了他們也被多收錢的事情（瞬間覺得不對，所以我開始低聲錄影），然後馬上衝去跟另一對同房的情侶說情況，要他們確認他們的支付情況有無異狀，結果一問之下他們也立刻查帳發現他們當初訂的根本是四人房而非現在的十人房，價錢卻被照算四人間...短短的十分鐘，連我在內總共有五個人被憑空收費，你問我為何不喜歡東南亞，這就是為啥我討厭東南亞，你以為便宜耶賺到了，沒有！只要你離開啥都包好好的旅行團，你就會發現你何止被多收錢，還另外加上少於應有的對待。

Oh BTW, I changed to another hostel which is just about 230m away from it, instead of last hostel charged me 8500 kip per dollar (you still gotta pay in kip) they were giving me a much reasonable 8200 kip per dollar.

我最後有沒有拿回錢？沒有！
雖然真的很氣也很想叫警察，但是不說你不知道東南亞的警察又會是另一個故事的開端...

我終究離開了那青旅，多走了另外230米又進了另一間青旅，價錢一般般差不多也有附早餐，1美金的匯率也只算了高正常一點的8200，而不是前一間的8500。

Check the bill always, make sure you got your ticket, if anyone come ask you for what ever entrance fee, also make sure that ticket have been used meant they kept recycling the used one to gain some more pocket money.

有沒有影響我，有！
看我浪費了8個整個小時在這裡敲手機就是了。

你說我教你們要let go,
這就是我let go的方式，何況待會我要帶著Vodka去飲料攤叫她搖一搖水果之後順便加冰跟加酒。

You will get a loads more to learn, the world is big and you are just a kid. However do enjoy SEA, I don't too much because of the people, but I hope you do, with my full blessed.

你說東南亞究竟怎樣？

買單前查一下單、買票前看一下你跟誰買票，他的制服穿了沒、他的票給你了沒、你的票一拿到就已經打過洞撕過角了嗎？瞄一下當地人拿到的標準跟你拿到的標準是不是一樣；有些東西不知道比較好，知道了腦筋更糾結心理更難過- 我真心覺得很難過的是這個小小的東南亞是我旅行這麼長一路來第一次吧斷聽到許多旅人跟我分享他們經過這次的旅行後他們不會願意在在同個地區停留太久避免知道太多原本短呆不會發現的更深的另一面。

我曾經很喜歡一位土地藝術家說過的 “旅行，就是為了看見異同” 的這樣一句話，但是次時此景想到了這句美麗的話卻被賦予了另一種意義，總覺得心中有點不那麼甜的滋味。

我一個人旅行， 人對我而言的重要性真的更甚於景給我的震撼性；幾年下來的整體經歷我真的很訝異我對東南亞的低評價甚至更遜於中國的有錢說話跟德國的不關他的事！我不願跟你們承認我一路遇上的旅人們出乎意料的都轉換了他們來之前之後對東南亞的態度，但是我覺得我有必要說，有必要分享，誠如我一開頭就講的每個人的旅途不一樣，會經歷上的也不盡相同，如果能多點準備，就會少點中招跟多點對旅程上的感謝。

【玳瑚師父客人見證】 《不過八月十五的預言》
The Prophecy: Not Beyond Mid-Autumn (English version below)

文 / 李季謙 女士 Written by Ms. Lee Ji Qian

撥電給玳瑚師父的那一天下午，我乘坐的德士，正駕駛在中央快速公路上。那是2006年中秋節的前兩個星期，記憶猶新。眼看我外婆的病情每況愈下，我迫切地想知道外婆還能活多久。那時的我從事空服員的工作，我擔心萬一外婆過世，我在國外無法第一時間趕回來看她最後一面，怎麽辦?

在車上，我不斷祈求玳瑚師父告訴我外婆的壽命還有多久。他不肯，他說做師父的其中一個避忌就是不算壽命，因爲很多人嘴巴說無所謂，知道答案後，心裡卻會七上八下，家人甚至會責怪師父嚇人。那時，外婆已皈依在蓮生活佛門下，我告訴師父家裡只有我和外婆是皈依的佛教徒，我很希望外婆過世時，我能夠為她做臨終關懷八小時，引導她往投極樂。

在電話的另一端，師父沉默許久，一句話也不說。我想慘了，如果師父不肯告訴我，我該如何是好？如何向公司請假？

「不過八月十五。」

什麽，師父，你說什麽？中秋節八月十五？師父，我都還沒告訴你外婆的生辰，你只知道她的名字和生肖，就能斷定嗎？

師父重覆說了一遍，並溫馨地告訴我到時遇到任何問題時，儘管撥電給他。就這樣，我們的通話結束了。

農曆八月十四的早上，在中央醫院復診時，醫生說外婆的血壓忽然降低，需要入院輸血。我便為外婆辦理入院手續，和照料外婆的女傭一直陪伴在外婆左右。幾個星期來，飛行穿梭與五大洲之間，熬夜時差，加上多次帶外婆來往醫院，每一次都花好幾個鐘頭在醫院等待，身心已疲憊不堪。我看著在病床上的外婆，輸血後她氣色開始好轉，醫生說一切穩定。外婆知道我很累，屢勸我回家休息。但師父的預言一直懸挂在我心中，本想留下來陪外婆一晚，但那天的入院來的突然，我沒準備任何衣物。那時的我住在兀蘭，離新加坡中央醫院很遠。我先生在一旁也勸我回家好好休息，才有更好的精神繼續和外婆說佛法及一同唸佛。

我猶豫著。師父為我做的預言從來沒有錯過。但外婆氣色之佳，是近幾個月從未曾有的。我這幾個月，也一直都有修法回向給外婆，可能奇跡出現了吧！

于是，農曆八月十五的淩晨一點二十分左右，我回家了。

早上十點二十分，女傭打了通電話給我。她不大會說英文，只是很情急地說外婆想見我，要我快點來醫院。我天真地以爲是外婆睡醒後，想見我。

早上十點四十五分，表姐打電話給我，哭著說外婆已過世了。那時的我，腦海裡立刻浮現師父所說的「不過八月十五。」 連半天都過不了。我的心一直往下沉。爲什麽我問了師父卻又不淨信他的話？爲什麽我沒有把師父的預言告訴我的家人？爲什麽我就不能在醫院熬多一天？生死皆天定，我怎麽不自量力地以爲自己那點修法回響就能改寫外婆的生死呢？原來人說死前的迴光返照是這麽一回事！天啊！我竟然那麽不孝，讓外婆過世時，身邊只有一個女傭，一個親人都沒有！

在醫院撥打電話給師父時，他很快就接聽了。第一句話一說完，我已泣不成聲了。師父說他一早起床，就不斷地有我外婆和我的影子，他知道事情不出他預料中，因此一直在等待我的電話。師父不但沒有怪我不夠相信他，還提醒我要為外婆做的佛事，也開導我說八月十五是月圓圓滿之日，外婆在這日離去也象徵她的一生已圓滿，她十多年的病業終于還清了，從病苦中解脫了，我應該為她高興。師父知道我性格衝動，再三叮嚀我在外婆停柩期間，勿和家人起衝突。

這也是我第二件遺憾的事。我那時學佛尚淺，包容、平等對待和處事圓融的道理，我無法實踐。我不但在外婆的遺體前爲了她的生後事，向家人耍狠，在喪禮上，因爲不苟同他們的做法，脾氣更是一「發」不可收拾。說什麽佛教徒，真是貽笑大方！我怎麽就沒有好好學師父那般的度量呢？

外婆過世後的那七天裡，家人陸續都夢到她回來和他們敍舊。唯獨我沒有。我很納悶。外婆臨終前，唯一想見的人是我，爲何卻沒托夢給我？她不是有話跟我說嗎？（其實是我多想在外婆面前跟她說萬萬個對不起。）想著，想著，我想到師父常教我在睡前的結界法，保護自己在睡夢中不被鬼魅魍魎干擾盜氣，出國在外也能平安。我睡前也必定會結界，這法非常實用也有真實的法力！

那晚，在紐約的酒店裡，我冒了一個險，沒行結界法。當晚，我就夢到自己在兒時住家附近（也是外婆的舊家）的停車場。我不知不覺走到一輛米色的「馬賽地」旁邊，低頭一看，咦，是外婆，穿著那熟悉的衣裳，坐在駕駛座位上。我叫她，以廣東話問：「婆婆，妳會駕車啊？」（外婆生前沒有駕駛執照）　她轉頭，跟我說：「幫公公皈依吧！」 我答：「皈依啊？好啊！」

我就猛然醒來了，趕緊看時間，是清晨五點多。師父曾說在早上五點至七點之間做的夢是真實的。我梳洗後，即刻撥長途電話給在新加坡的師父。外公已過世十多年，在夢裡，外婆要我為外公皈依時，我已知道他尚未投胎，生前沒聽聞過佛法，更別説往生極樂了。而當外婆提到皈依時，我心裡的直覺說她指的是皈依我們的根本上師，蓮生活佛，絕非他人。最神的是，夢裡外婆的車和家人在喪禮中焚化給她的，是一模一樣的！

師父在電話中花了一個鐘頭的時間，耐心地教導我。他說我得先回到外婆生前的居所，向那裡的祖先牌位請示外公是否真的想皈依蓮生活佛。除了攜帶外公生前愛吃的食物，我也得先上香供養家門外供奉的天公、土地神和門神，祈求祂們允許我外公的魂魄入屋。

回囯後的隔天，我和兩位表姪女一起到外婆家，一一跟著師父的指示照做。我們三人上了香，跪在祖先牌位前，呼叫外公時，不可思議的事情發生了！刹那間，我們三人同時感覺到有股強烈的陰氣從我們背後的大門進來，再看到一個黑影從我們身旁快速地飃過，到祖先牌位的供桌上，頓時，我們全身都起了雞皮疙瘩。卜杯請示外公是否要皈依蓮生活佛時，連續得了三個聖杯！我的夢是真實的！師父教的真管用！

當下，我既讚嘆又感恩玳瑚師父，是他引我皈依蓮生活佛。在他之前，我根本沒聼過蓮生活佛的盛名。因爲我的皈依，我好幾個家人也皈依。師父常說死人的眼睛是雪亮的。外公生前非常疼愛我，沒想到，我和外婆的皈依也會讓他想向佛了！我是多麽的雀躍啊！我讚嘆師父那麽好眼光，有福份，一生只皈依一個上師，而且是一位已開悟成佛的上師，怪不得師父的本領那麽了得。我更感恩他不辭辛勞地廣揚佛法，讓我們這些門外漢能學到人生最大的一件事到底是什麽。

我是一個差勁的弟子，脾氣又不好，兩次被師父「停學」，每一次長達半年，更曾被沒收所有的筆記和課本。但在「停學」期間，師父仍慈悲教導我如何處理外婆的生後事。可能你覺得他是修行人，是玄學師父，不給他錢，他仍然應該幫你消災解厄，給他錢，他更要幫你逢凶化吉。我的看法卻是，自己的問題本來就應該自己解決。沒有人是「應該」幫你的，師父也不是一個你能用錢買的人，更不可以因爲師父沒有幫你這一次或看法不一，便因「愛」成「恨」，來個「秦始王燒書」 般地把過去師父幫過自己的恩都忘得一乾二淨，再來個翻臉不認「師」。這般無情無義的人我看的實在太多了。

這兩天趕緊將這篇個人見證寫完，並翻譯，已此供養玳瑚師父為他的「生日」禮物。農曆八月十五是玳瑚師父皈依真佛之日。他常說這一天才是他真正的生日，皈依學佛前的日子懵懂無意，虛度光陰，貴為佛子後，自己才真正「活」起來，成爲有智慧有貢獻的能人。兒子的事業這麽有意義，我想師父的父母一定會以他為榮。

如果你也像我一樣，曾經請示過師父，卻在信與不信之間進退兩難，希望我這篇文章能給你一點啓發，更盼你不會有我這般的遺憾。

祝大家中秋節快樂。

我在此也誠心地祝玳瑚師父「生日」快樂。謝謝您在無止境的萬難中，仍堅持帶給我們光明。我祈禱，願您的一生有如今晚的月輪一樣地美麗、圓滿、吉祥，願您早日修成正果，速登彼岸。阿彌陀佛。

-----------------------------

It was one afternoon in the year 2006, 2 weeks from the Mid-Autumn Festival. I was travelling along the Central Expressway in a cab when I made a call to Master Dai Hu. The memory was still fresh. My grandmother's health was deteriorating by the day, and I desperately wanted to know how much longer she could hold on. I was working as a flight attendant at that time, and the fear was that I might be overseas and not able to see her the final time when she breathed her last.

During the taxi ride, I pleaded incessantly for Master Dai Hu to answer my burning question. He refused. He said that as a Master, it was a taboo to predict one's life span because the answer would drive many towards anxiety and hysteria, even when they seemed nonchalant initially. At that time, my grandmother had already taken refuge under Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, and I told Master Dai Hu that since my grandmother and myself were the only Buddhists who had taken refuge in the family, I really hoped to provide some form of hospice care, and perform the proper rites during the crucial 8-hour time window after her passing to guide her towards rebirth into the Pure Land.

There was total silence on the other end of the line for a long time. Master Dai Hu did not utter a single sound. I was doomed, I thought to myself, if Master refused to tell me, what should I do? How could I apply for leave of absence from my employer?

"It would not be beyond the fifteenth day of the Eighth Lunar Month". Finally the silence was broken.

What, Master, what did you just? You meant the Mid-Autumn Festival? But I had not even tell you the birth date and time of my grandmother. You only knew her name and Chinese Zodiac Sign, how could you be so sure?

Master Dai Hu repeated his prediction again, and told me warmly that I could call him anytime if I encountered any problem. With that, our conversation ended.

This was the fourteenth day of the Eighth Lunar Month. The doctor told me that Grandma's blood count suffered a drastic drop, and had to be admitted to hospital for a blood transfusion. After I had done the paper works for the admittance, I stayed with her, together with her maid. I was totally physically and mentally exhausted. Flying around the world had taken its toll on me, with the late nights and jet lags, not to mention the many hospital trips I made with Grandmother over the past few weeks and every hospital visit spanned over a few hours. I looked at Grandma who was lying on her hospital bed. She looked much better after the blood transfusion and the doctor said all was well. Grandma knew I was washed out and kept asking me to go home and rest. Master Dai Hu's prediction was constantly on my mind. I had wanted to stay for one more night to accompany Grandma but the hospital admission that day was unexpected and I did not prepare any overnight bag. I was staying at Woodlands at that time and it was far from SGH. My husband who was by my side advised me to go home to rest too as he felt that I needed to be in a better condition to continue sharing the Dharma and reciting the Buddha's name with Grandma.

I hesitated. Master's predictions for me always rang true. But my Grandma looked quite good, something which I have not seen in months. Furthermore, I have been doing spiritual practices and dedicating the merits to her. Perhaps a miracle had happened!

At about 120am on the fifteenth day of the Eighth Lunar Month, I went home.

My phone rang at 1020am. It was the maid. She was not really conversant in English but told me anxiously that Grandma wanted to see me, and asked if I was on the way. I naively shrugged it off, thinking it might just be Grandma wanting to see me after her sleep.

Another phone call came in at 1045am, the sobbing and muffled voice of my cousin on the other end, telling me that Grandma had passed away. At that very moment, the words of Master "Not beyond the fifteenth day of the Eighth Lunar Month" reverberated through me. My heart sank to the rock bottom. Why did I ask Master for his prediction when I was not prepared to have complete faith in him? Why had I not told this prediction to my family members? Why could I not just stay in hospital with Grandma for that one more night? Life and death are both predestined. How could I think so highly of myself and believe that meagre merits from my spiritual practice was sufficient to rewrite her fate? Now I realized the truth in the saying that a person before his or her imminent death would look as if he or she is well. Goodness gracious! I was so unfilial to had left Grandma alone, on her death bed with no family member but only the maid beside her!

I phoned Master Dai Hu at the hospital and he answered very quickly. Once the first words were spoken, I had already broken down in sobs. Master said that he woke up early that morning with a premonition. He kept "seeing" images of my Grandma and myself, and knew in an instant that his prediction had prevailed and had been waiting for my call. Not only did Master not reprimand me for not having enough faith in him, he even reminded me on the list of things to do for Grandma's funeral. He counseled me, saying that for Grandma to bade this world farewell on the fifteenth day of the Eighth Lunar Month, it signified that she had lived a full and complete life, and that her karmic debt of suffering from illnesses the past 10 over years had finally been repaid. He said I should be glad that Grandma had been released from her pains and sufferings. Master was well aware of my rash temperament, and reminded me many times not to squabble with the family members during the funeral wake.

This has to be the other regrettable thing in this episode. My understanding of the Dharma was shallow then, and I did not practice the ways of endurance, equality, and did not consider the feelings of others in handling things. Not only did I pressurize my family members over the arrangements of Grandma's funeral, my bad temper flared uncontrollably during the funeral as I was not in agreement with the rest of the family members. All this talk about being a Buddhist turned me into a laughing stock! Why could I not learn from Master, who was and still is always so magnanimous and gracious?

During the seven-day period after Grandma's passing, many family members dreamed of her continually. I was the only one not to have seen her in my dreams. This was very puzzling for me. At the time of her passing, Grandma was calling out for me. Why did she not appear in my dreams? Did she not have anything to say to me? (Truthfully, I wanted very much to say a million sorry to her in person). As I was pondering over this matter, I remembered a demarcation method taught to me by Master, to protect myself against spirits stealing my life essence and disrupting my sleep, and to stay safe while I was overseas. This demarcation was something I always did before going to bed, and it really proved itself as a useful and powerful Dharma practice.

That night, in my hotel room in New York, I took a risk and forgo the demarcation procedure before I slept. That very night, I dreamed of Grandma! I was at the car park, near my childhood residence (also near Grandma's previous residence). I was walking along a pavement and ended up beside a cream-coloured Mercedes Benz. I looked down, and there she was! My Grandma was wearing her usual clothing and seated in the driver's seat. I called out to her and asked in Cantonese, "Grandma, you know how to drive?" Grandma did not have a driving license when she was alive. She turned to speak to me, "Help your Grandfather to take refuge!" I answered, "Take refuge? Ok!"

I jolted out from sleep, and hurriedly looked at the clock. It was five plus in the morning. Master once said that dreams occurring between 5am - 7am were real. I washed up, and called Master who was in Singapore immediately. My Grandfather has been dead for more than 10 years. In my dream, when Grandma wanted me to take refuge for Grandfather, I knew then that Grandfather had yet to go through reincarnation. He did not hear the Dharma during his lifetime, so he could not have been reborn into the Pure Land. When Grandma spoke of taking refuge, my intuition told me that she was referring to our Root Guru, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, whom we took refuge in, and no one else. The next amazing thing was that the car in which Grandma was seated in the dream looked exactly the same as the one the family members burnt as an offering to her during the funeral!

Master spent an hour on the phone with me, patiently guiding me. He said I needed to return to my Grandma's house and seek answers from the ancestors at the ancestral tablet if my Grandfather really wanted to take refuge in Living Buddha Lian-Sheng. Other than preparing my Grandfather's favorite snacks, I had to offer incense and other offerings to the Jade Emperor, the Earth Deity as well as the Door Guardians, who were enshrined outside my Grandma's home, and request for smooth entry of my Grandfather's spirit into the house.

A few days upon my return to Singapore, I went to my Grandma's house, together with my two nieces. I followed Master's instruction to the tee. The three of us offered incense, knelt down in front of the ancestral tablet and called for my Grandfather. Something extraordinary happened next! In the flash of an eye, the 3 of us felt a strong Yin energy coming in from the main door, and witnessed a black shadowy figure slid past us in speed, and onto the ancestral tablet. Momentarily, our hair stood on end and all of us felt goosebumps on our skins. When I threw the divination blocks and asked if it was Grandfather's wish to take refuge in Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, the answer was positive with three consecutive yes! My dream was real after all! The method which Master taught really worked well!

Instantly, I was in awe, and at the same time, extremely grateful to Master Dai Hu. He was the one who guided me to take refuge in Living Buddha Lian-Sheng. Before that, I never hear of Him. Because of my taking refuge, a few of my family members followed suit. Master often said that the dead had the brightest eyes. Grandfather doted on me very much when he was alive, and never did I expect Grandfather to follow my Grandma and I in taking refuge and seek the Dharma. I was totally elated! I praised Master for his foresight, and his great fortune of taking refuge in a one and only one Guru Master, one who had attained perfect Enlightenment. It is no wonder that Master Dai Hu has such great skills too. I am also grateful for his relentless pursuits to propagate the Dharma, enabling layman like us to learn, understand and prepare for the biggest event of our life.

I am a lousy disciple with bad temperament. Twice, I was booted out by Master and not allowed to learn from him for as long as 6 months. My notes and books were confiscated. However, even when I did not see Master during those periods, he showed compassion and guided me through the ordeal of my Grandma's passing. Perhaps you might think that it is his duty as a spiritual practitioner and Chinese metaphysicist to show compassion and help others in need even if no money is paid to him, and if money is paid, all the more he should help the clients out of their troubles.

My take on this: We must take responsibility for our own problems. No one owe us any form of help or assistance. And Master Dai Hu is definitely not someone you can buy with money. If he does not render his help to you or both of you have a different opinion on certain issues, you cannot go from having admiration to bearing resentment towards him over that. I have seen too many ungrateful people who erase all the memories of the good that Master had once done for them, pretty much like how Emperor Qin burnt the books, with no trace left and turned their backs on Master, like they had never known him.

Over the last two days, I rushed to complete this testimonial as a present to Master Dai Hu on his "birthday". It was this auspicious day, the fifteenth day of the Eighth Lunar Month, that Master Dai Hu took refuge in True Buddha and became a Buddhist. He often said that this day felt more like his real birthday. Before learning the Dharma and taking refuge, he led a life of meaningless existence, squandering away youth and time. Only when he became a Buddhist did he truly come to life, begin to live in wisdom and gain great ability, while making useful and meaningful contributions to the society. With such a noble career, I guess his parents must be very proud of having a son like him.

If you are to be in my shoes one day, having asked Master for advice but still teetering on the border and unsure if you should believe him, I hope my story will inspire you and not let you suffer the same regrets as I did.

Wishing everyone a Happy Mid-Autumn Festival.

And I genuinely wish Master Dai Hu a "Happy Birthday". Thank you for bringing the Light to us, despite the endless obstacles you constantly battle. I pray that your life will be as beautiful, complete and auspicious as the full moon tonight. May you soon attain the fruit of perfect and complete Enlightenment. Amituofo.

＜音符に付くドレミの表記方法が変わりました。＞
これまでは、そのkeyの音には、♯や♭は付かず、臨時記号だけに付いていましたが・・・これからは、keyの音には、予め♯や♭が付いた状態になります。そして、これまでと同じように、さらなる変化音は、青く表記されます。
また、key=Ｃと移動ド読みは従来通りです。
・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・
修業時代に、こんな教材が欲しかった。聴いているだけで、ドレミに強くなり、音感が良くなります。もちろん、一緒に歌えば、さらに効果倍増。#・ｂなどが出て来ても心の中でイメージしながら、実際には、そのままドレミで歌います。小さなお子さんの絶対音感トレーニング。ドレミに苦手意識のあるミュージシャン・プロを目指す方などに最適です。

音感が良いと楽器の習得も早くなります。曲を覚えるのも楽になります。練習効果バツグンです。また、様々なメロディを覚えると、アドリブや作曲能力にも効果があります。当然、楽器で弾けるように練習するのも価値あります。チューニングは、１２平均律、A＝４４０Hz、固定ドです。最近、リクエストがあり、移動ド読みの動画も載せるようになりました。

小さな子供さんの絶対音感トレーニングの場合には、移動ド読みの物は避けて下さい。他の方は、どれでもオッケーです。どれかをやって、マイナスになることなんてありません。ただ、何かの目的がハッキリしている場合には、選べると役に立つと思い分けてあります。逆に選ぶ知識・経験の無い方は、そんなことを考えなくても良いです。

使用方法；
１、まずは、流し聴きしてみて下さい。
２、可能なら、本物のオーディオ推奨。
３、速度調節します。youtube 動画は、音程を変えずに、速度を変えることが出来ます。画面右下の設定、再生速度とあり、選べるようになっています。
４、何度か、聞いているだけで、自然と覚えて、音名が、時々でも浮かぶようになって来ます。寝ながら、ループ再生しておいても、効果あります。
５、余裕があれば声も出してみましょう。正しい言葉・文字でなくて構いません。分からない部分は、唸るような感じで。
６、音楽教室の教材などにも最適です。ご活用下さい。
７、他にも、様々な活用法が考えられると思います。

＜音をドレミで理解することの意味・価値＞
音は音です。振動です、なぜドレミと言う違う言葉を当てはめるのでしょうか？
人は、モノに名前を与えて、初めて・・・より細かく分類理解することが出来ます。

例えば、犬。チワワとブルドック、ドーベルマンに柴犬など見た目で判断するなら、全く別な生き物です。でも、そこに犬と言う言葉を付けてみるとどうでしょう？突然そこに、何らかの統一感が生まれ、人の心に同じ種類の生き物だと認識出来るようになります。

そして音にも同じようなことが言えます。ドレミと言う言葉によって、漠然とした音に多くの感覚的な統一感を感じ取る事が、出来るようになります。その感覚を身に付けるのに、当チャンネルの動画こそ最適です。

ワンオクロック　「ウェイスティッド・ナイツ」

この動画は、原曲と同じ、key=Fの固定ド読みです。基本シが、♭します。

key=Ｆなのですが・・・もっとも基本の進行Ｃ７→ＦのＣ７もしくは、Ｃが、出てきません。ここまで頑なに出てこないのは、偶然もあり得ない事では無いですが・・・おそらく意識しておられると思います。
