Mama, I can speak now! 妈妈我能说话了!

by on Jun.13, 2011, under Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

 


From left to right: Jie, the boys’ cousin Jia Yi, GG their mother and her older son Hui

For the entirety of his nine years of life, Jie had never once spoken or expressed himself verbally, and no one knew why. Medical test upon test had come up negative, showing there was nothing physiologically wrong with the child.

With no answers from the doctors, all his parents could do was hope that he might one day be able to speak on his own. However, his mother GG Wan and father Chef Au knew that time was running out for their little boy. Enrolled in a regular school, they had begun to arrange Jie’s transfer into a special needs school when they heard that His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche was giving a baby baptismal.

With deep faith, GG and Chef Au submitted all three of their children’s names for the baptism – together with Jie, they submitted the names of their two older children, a 13-year old daughter and 11-year old son who have no problems with their speech, or with their studies. GG and Chef Au, who is the Head Chef of Kechara Oasis, simply intended for their children to attend the baptism as a blessing. They never knew that the event on Wesak Day would bring so many great changes for them.

The day after the baptism ceremony, GG recalled that she tried to guide Jie to recite Manjushri’s manta OM AH RA PATSA NA DHI. Jie however, was unable to memorise or recite the whole mantra.

“That’s why it came as a surprise for me when he recited it. It happened while I was driving. Jie, who was sitting in the back seat, suddenly said, “Mama, OM AH RA PATSA NA DHI!””

“It happened two days after I tried teaching him. I was driving so I said to him, “Good boy!”” said GG, who is still very excited when recalling her son’s miraculous improvement after the blessing ceremony.

“I have had more surprises after that. Once, Jie even uttered, “Mama, you crazy ah, driving dangerously!””, GG explaining that Jie said this when she tried to avoid a car in front of her which made an emergency stop.

Instead of being angry at Jie for scolding her, instead GG was very happy that her son could express his feelings precisely and with ease.

Since the baptism ceremony and his first recitation of Manjushri’s mantra, Jie has shown significant improvement. GG believes that these changes are due to the power of the Three Jewels, and that his improvements are only just the beginning.

GG and her husband suspected Jie of having speech problems when he was four years old, and no one could tell them what was wrong, except to say that he might have learning difficulties. The only sentence Jie came anywhere near to enunciating was, “Mama, I want to play computer games.” For the most part, he was incoherent, uttering incomplete sentences and noises, or relying on hand gestures to communicate – for example, to indicate his hunger, he would place his palm on his stomach.

Thus the change comes as an immense relief and joy to the proud parents who, after many years of living without any concrete hope that their son would one day speak, can now hear their son express himself perfectly…and for a parent, that is their greatest relief, to know that their son will be okay when they are gone.

‎9年来,欧勇杰不曾说出完整流利的一句话。没有人知道他为何无法流畅地表达自己。一连串的医疗和心理检查都显示,这个外表健康快乐的孩子没有面对任何障碍。

医生说不出原由,欧氏夫妇能做的只是等待儿子开口说话的那一天。无论如何,勇杰在正规学校的学习的确面对障碍,所以在父亲欧师傅听闻尊贵的詹杜固仁波切将给主持一次儿童佛教洗礼仪式加持儿童时,毫不犹豫给孩子接受加持。

母亲温彩珠和欧师傅把三名孩子—13岁的长女、11岁的长子和9岁的勇杰的名字都提交给克切拉佛教中心,单纯地希望孩子得到三宝加持。长子和长女都没有面对言语表达或学习上的障碍。目前在克切拉如意轩担任主厨的欧师傅并没有预料这个在卫塞节当天举办的洗礼仪式会给他们的孩子带来这样大的转变。

儿童洗礼后,彩珠尝试教导勇杰念文殊菩萨的心咒—嗡啊拉巴萨那里(OM AH RA PATSA NA DHI),不过他跟不上,无法念出完整的心咒。

“所以,当他能完整念出来时,我简直是又惊又喜。当时勇杰坐在后座。突然,他对我说,‘妈妈,嗡阿惹巴扎那迪!’”

“事情发生在儿童洗礼的两天后,当时我正在开车,我赞他说‘好孩子!’’”彩珠在忆起当天的情况时还是一副兴奋又不可置信的模样。

“除了能念心咒外,他还给我另一个惊喜!有一次驾驶中,我遇见前面的车子突然刹车,结果我紧急把车子摆向一边,结果车子后座的孩子承受不小的摆荡,当时勇杰就喊出:‘妈妈,你傻的!这样危险驾车!’”

彩珠并没有生气孩子,反而开心极了!因为孩子竟然可以完整、准确地表达自己的感受!

自那天的儿童洗礼仪式后,勇杰就显露了明显的转变。彩珠相信这个转变是来自三宝的加持与祝福,而这只是一个开始,她期待更好的进展……。

在勇杰4岁时,彩珠和丈夫怀疑孩子出现语言障碍,不过没有人可以确定告诉他们的孩子到底发生了什么事。多年来勇杰表达得最流畅的就是“妈—妈,我—要—玩—电—脑”,因为勇杰最爱电脑游戏。除此之外,他大部分时候都无法用完整的句子表达内心的想法,他最常用的就是以肢体语言来表达肚子饿了—用手掌抚摸肚子……。

勇杰表达能力的增强,给多年来不抱太大希望的欧师傅和彩珠极大的鼓舞。知道孩子未来的路将走的更好,肯定是他们历年来收到的最大的母亲节和父亲节礼物。

Setrap saved my baby

by on Jun.05, 2011, under Tsem Tulku Rinpoche

Lim Boon Chai, 41 years old, never expected himself to have a son especially at his age, and his youngest daughter being 12 years old. However, the part that Lim least expected was that his son would be born prematurely, when he was only 30 weeks old.

Already a father of two girls, Lim was ecstatic he heard that his wife was pregnant w…ith a son. Seven and a half months into her pregnancy however, his wife began to experience labour pains on morning at 2am. Rushed to hospital, the doctors there diagnosed her with high blood pressure and some other complications, leaving them no choice but to perform a Cesarean, for both the baby and mother’s safety. Lim’s son was only 1.2 kilograms when he was born in Johor Hospital.

The doctor declared that due to the complications, the boy would have defects in his ears and eyes, and therefore his family would have to provide him with special care for the rest of his life, even if he survived the premature birth.

Lim immediately called his childhood friend Wong Kok Heng (Fat Monk), a Kechara member who is a senior student of His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche. After hearing the news, Wong immediately sent packets of Lord Setrap’s blessed rice to Lim. Wong instructed Lim to soak the rice in water and after doing so, to put the water constantly on his son’s lips.

Lim was also advised to chant Lord Setrap’s mantra, and to visualise Setrap and Rinpoche as one to invoke Setrap’s help. Lim’s friends in Kechara also lent a helping hand by chanting mantras and doing pujas to the dedication of Lim’s son.

“I went to the hospital day and night, to put the water soaked in blessed rice on my son’s lips,” recalled Lim. He highlighted, “There was a time when my son was in a critical condition. I immediately fed him a drop of blessed water and miraculously, his condition stabilised instantly.”

“With help and advice from Rinpoche and Setrap, I had strong faith that I could overcome all obstacles and challenges,” emphasised Lim who regularly attended Setrap puja at the Kechara Southern Jewel Chapel before the incident.

So bad was his son’s condition, that the boy was kept in an incubator for two months. During this time, Lim was not allowed to travel for work, which he does frequently, because he had to be on stand by in case a blood transfusion for his son was necessary.

Despite such conditions, after two months, Lim’s son discharged from the hospital with a clean bill of health.

Lim thanked Rinpoche and Wong for their advice and help throughout the entire ordeal, saying, “Even though I do not fully understand what Rinpoche says in English, I do feel the love and compassion from him.”

Lim met Rinpoche two years ago in Batu Pahat, when his personal life was not going well. Suffering from marital and business problems, Lim said that he felt lost and confused, and that things lifted after “Rinpoche told me that everything will be alright.”

All Rinpoche asked him to do was Setrap’s practice and Guru Yoga. Lim says he did as he was advised and since then, his business has improved and he has successfully cleared his debts as well. Something that he never expected was for his wife, who was uncomfortable with his practice, to take the initiative to visit Kechara’s gompa when Rinpoche performed the baby blessing ceremony last May.

“My wife and I now communicate more and I am now a happier, less hot-tempered and a more open person,” shared Lim with a happy and contended voice over the phone. Lim also hopes to find more suitable places in Batu Pahat to perform Setrap practice regularly, so that others may share in the benefits that Setrap’s practice can give them.

今年41岁的林文财从来没有预料最小的女儿12岁的当儿,上天还会赐予他一个儿子。他更没有预料到的是,他多年来期待的儿子竟然在未足月—30个星期的情况下提早出世。

文财惊喜的心情,随着妻子怀孕7个月半的一个凌晨两时钟出现阵痛而开始惊慌。经医生诊断后,患有高血压的妻子必须立即剖腹生产,结果早产的娃儿出世时仅有区区的1公斤200克。庆幸母子平安之余,医生宣布早产儿肯定会面对听力、视力及内脏虚弱的问题,而且需要父母的终生照料。

此时,林文财脑海立即想起一个人—黄国兴(胖僧)。胖僧是尊贵的詹杜固仁波切的资深弟子,也是克切拉佛教中心的成员。胖僧听闻林文财孩子的情况后,立即叫人送了几包金甲衣护法加持过的白米给林文财。胖僧指示林文财把加持米渗入开水中,日夜到医院把加持白米水涂抹在儿子的嘴唇上。

胖僧也要求林文财持诵金甲衣的心咒,持诵经文的当儿观想金甲衣和仁波切融为一体,祈求金甲衣的力量帮助孩子。林文财在克切拉的其他朋友也帮忙持诵金甲衣心咒并回向给他的孩子。

林文财说:“我日夜都往医院跑,努力把圣水涂抹在孩子的唇上”,他还指出:“有一次我的儿子情况紧急,我立即把一滴加持白米水滴入他的口中,很不可思议,他的情况立即稳定下来。”

“有了金甲衣和仁波切的帮助,我有很坚定的信念,相信我可以度过所有难关。”林文财之前经常参与克切拉南方之宝的金甲衣法会。

林文财的孩子持续住在保温箱长达2个月的时间。在这段时间,林文财无法带外坡工作,因为他必须随时准备给儿子紧急输血。庆幸的是,林文财的儿子在两个月后出院,之后也数次健康检验也证实他健康状况无碍。

林文财非常感激仁波切和胖僧的帮助:“虽然我无法完全明白仁波切用英文讲解的法,不过我肯定能感受得到他的爱与慈悲。”

林文财两年前在巴株巴辖跟仁波切有一面之缘。仁波切给这位当时身处人生低潮的男子的建议是:他会度过一切难关。当时的林文财经营生意的财务状况不佳,人生非常迷失,不过在仁波切告诉他“一切都会好起来”后,真的好了起来。

仁波切给当时的林文财的劝告仅是用心修持金甲衣仪轨及上师瑜伽法。林文财说,他按照仁波切的建议去做,结果生意好转,还还清了所有的债务。最令他意料之外的是,原本不太赞同他的修持的妻子,竟然主动要求跟他一同前来吉隆坡的克切拉佛教中心母寺,出席仁波切的儿童洗礼观礼仪式。

“现在,我的妻子跟我的沟通也增进了,我比以前更快乐,脾气也比以前温和,人也更豁达了。”快乐的林文财希望在不久的将来可以在巴株巴辖找一个适合开设道场的地方,跟同修一起持修金甲衣护法,把金甲衣的好处跟更多人分享。
