求渡祖先 林鈺堂 歷祖名單呈超薦，頓感寧靜通群生； 跋 多年佛友黃百肋博士往昔未曾思及為久遠之祖先求超渡，唯在父母辭世時曾代求頗瓦。近日在網路上巧遇彼家族之網頁，即採集許多代祖先之部分家族名單於一處，以電郵代求頗瓦超渡。一傳出該件電郵，彼即頓然籠罩於感恩、寧靜之覺受中，似乎與宇宙生命獲得溝通。此種境界延續約十分鐘。 我告訴他，祖先若未得渡，則子孫往往不斷遭遇種種困擾，因為亡者希望得到救渡，只能如此設法溝通信息。因此，為祖先求超薦，可以安生者，也有助生者將來之超出輪迴。同理，個人宿業之一切冤親債主，皆宜為他們求超薦，使存亡同蒙法益。 二○○二年十二月廿四日 Requesting Powa for Ancestors Yutang Lin The list of ancestors' names offered for Powa service; Comment: Dr. Juan Bulnes, a devoted Buddhist for decades, had never thought about requesting Powa service for ancestors that were long gone, although he did do so for his parents when they departed. Recently he came across some website devoted to his family name, and gathered therefrom a list of some of his ancestors' names from many generations back. So he emailed the list to me for Powa service, just as an addition to his daily practice of so doing for many deceased beings that came to his attention. As soon as that email was sent, he felt a sense of tranquility and gratitude as if he were in communion with all lives in the universe, and the feeling lasted for about ten minutes. In my reply to him I told him: When some ancestors are still in need of rescuing help, then it is often the case that the descendants would continuously encounter many kinds of obstacles. This is because the deceased would like very much to receive help and they could only try in such manners to communicate to the descendants. Therefore, requesting Powa service for ancestors could pacify the lives of the descendants; it could also help the descendants eventually to become free from transmigration. Similarly, requesting Powa service for all one's karmic relatives, creditors and enemies that are deceased is also very beneficial to all involved.
