Rinpoche – Behind the Scenes 活佛背后的故事

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。
