具足信心的人，生命中常会得到佛菩萨的照应【索达吉堪布】

“我的妈妈叫绿度母”

“My mother is called Green Tara”

麦彭仁波切说过：“末法时代，度母的加持最为灵验。”

Mipham Rinpoche says, “In times of degeneration, the blessings of Tara are most swift and effective.”

若能经常祈祷度母，念诵她的心咒“嗡 达热 德达热德热索哈”，除了极为特殊的定业以外，可遣除修行中的一切磨难，也可避免水灾、火灾等天灾人祸。

Except in special cases involving immutable karma, praying to Tara and reciting her mantra “Om Tare Tutare Ture Soha” can dispel our obstacles on the spiritual path and spare us from man-made or natural calamities like flood, fire and so on.

从前，藏地有个贫穷的小孩，从小无父无母，是个孤儿。

Once upon a time, in Tibet, there was a poor boy who was orphaned at an early age.

他每当看到别的小孩有妈妈疼爱，就特别特别伤心。

The sight of other children being adored by their mothers always made him extremely sad.

他住的附近，有一尊很大的石雕绿度母像，

In his neighborhood there was a large stone-carved Tara statue.

他每天都跑去和绿度母像说话，把她想象成自己的妈妈，心情不好时就说着自己的心事，像孩子跟母亲撒娇一般，将自己的喜怒哀乐全部对绿度母像倾诉。

The boy went to this Tara every day and, fancying her as his own mother, would talk to her and confide in her when he was upset, just like children unload their joys and sorrows on their doting mothers.

有一次，他被别人欺负了，特别伤心，就抱着石像大哭。

One day, someone bullied the boy and he was deeply hurt. He ran to Tara, held tightly to her, and cried loudly.

绿度母像竟然动了，将他抱了起来，深深拥入自己怀中，像慈母般不断安慰着他，并开始陪他玩耍。

Incredibly, the Tara statue became ani­mated. She picked up the boy and embraced him, comforting him gently and playing with him like a loving mother.

最后在他离开时，绿度母像取下自己脖子上的珍宝项链，挂在了孩子的颈上。

When the boy was ready to leave, Tara took off her jeweled necklace and clasped it around the boy’s neck.

后来，有人看到那孩子身上有一串珍贵罕见的项链，就问他是从哪里来的。

Later, when people noticed the boy was wearing a rather rare and splendid necklace, they asked him where he got it.

他回答：“这是我妈妈给我的。”

The boy answered, “My mother gave it to me.”

人们问：“你不是无父无母吗？”

They replied, “But you don’t have parents, do you?”

孩子说：“我妈妈就是那尊石雕绿度母呀！”

The boy responded, “My mother is that stone Tara statue!”

人们不信，跑去看那尊绿度母像，发现石雕上的项链居然不见了，也没有任何被敲下的痕迹。

Unconvinced, people ran to the Tara statue to take a look. Sure enough, the necklace that used to be on the statue was gone, and there was no sign of chip­ping on the statue.

不要认为这个故事是神话传说，日常生活中你可以试一试。

Please do not take this story as just a fable; test it out for yourself in real life.

如果对一条金刚结、一本书、一尊佛像有极大的信心，

As long as you have unshakable faith in any sacred object—a piece of vajra cord, a Dharma book, or a statue of the Buddha, etc.

时时皈依顶礼，肯定所获的加持不可思议。

—and constantly pray to it and take refuge in it, you are bound to receive incredible blessings.

具足信心的人，生命中常会得到佛菩萨的照应。

Bud­dhas and Bodhisattvas will never fail to care for anyone who is brimming with faith.

当你事事顺利的时候，

不要沾沾自喜，

因为这正在用尽你的福报；

当你屡屡受挫的时候，

不要怨天尤人，

因为依此可消除你往昔的罪业。

换一种心态看成败，

生命就会更加精彩！
