【師父愛吃爛蘋果】
.
在中國有一對夫妻是我的弟子，他們失業了，生活的很艱苦。他們拿我的相片放在家裡，點個破蠟燭，上一炷香，又撿來的三個爛蘋果，當做供品，因為他們入不敷出，所以也捨不得多放。
.
這對夫妻只有一個孩子，是他們唯一的希望，期望孩子一定要考上大學，但孩子偏偏不聽話，媽媽天天祈求師父、祈求佛、祈求菩薩：「我這個孩子非常調皮，十六、七歲快要考大學了，但功課卻很差，師父，求您發發慈悲啊！」
.
就這樣天天供養，過了三個月，孩子考完大學後，告訴父母自己應該能考上，因為題目都會寫。他說：「我考試的感覺就像在公園散步一樣輕鬆，功課比我好的同學，有的緊張得都快休克了，手不停的抖，但我都沒有事，一點都不緊張。媽，這是怎麼回事呢？考試的題目我都答的出來，我覺得自己應該考得上才對。」
.
媽媽聽了也是半信半疑，等到放榜後，發現兒子真的考上大學了！父母都感到既快樂又欣慰，之後媽媽還到處跟人家說，師父愛吃爛蘋果！事實上，是父母的真誠和不間斷的祈福感動了天，並非我有求必應。大家知道嗎？供佛一份心，獲得千百萬。

Master loves to eat rotten apples
In China, there’s a couple who are my disciples. They had lost their jobs, and life was challenging. Living in austerity then, they could only pray to the Gods with a simple picture of mine, a broken candle, a joss stick and three rotten apples as offerings.
The couple pinned all their hopes on their only child, and wished he could make it to the university. However, the child was not motivated and would not listen. His mother earnestly prayed to Buddha, Bodhisattva, and I, “My child is almost 17 years old and is due to enter the university; yet his studies is weak and he’s playful. Master, please show mercy and shower your blessings on him so that he can make it to the university!
The couple devotedly made the same offerings daily. After three months, the child sat for his examination. He felt confident and assured his parents, “When I sat for the paper, it felt like a walk in the park. Friends who had previously done better than me were nervous. I could see that their hands were trembling, while I remained calm. Mum, why was that so? I could answer the questions with ease and felt confident about passing the exam.”
The mother half-believed his words. When the results were released, the child managed to gain admission into the university, and both the parents were elated and relieved. Since then, the mother spread the word that Master loves to eat rotten apples! Well, the fact is; it was the sincerity of the parents and the conscientious prayers that moved the Heaven. Do you know – when we pray to the Buddha single-mindedly with a sincere heart, we can receive innumerable blessings.
