《欠扁问答题》

問：為什麼佛教在北半球比較盛行？
答：因為“南無”本師釋迦牟尼佛。

“南無”的原意為“禮拜”，多用於禮敬的對象，表示歸依信順，含有“救我”、“度我”、“屈膝”等意思。如：“南無阿彌陀佛”即“皈依阿彌陀佛”。

Q: Why is Buddhism more popular in the Northern hemisphere than the Southern?
A: This is because, “Namo” (Nan Wu) Buddha Shakyamuni.

The word “Namas” (Sanskrit) or “Namo” (Pali) is read as “Nan mo” in Chinese, but written as “Nan Wu” which literally means “Non-existence in the South”. However, the actual mean of “Namo” is “to submit oneself to”, “to bend”, “bow to”, “make obeisance” and “pay homage to” etc. “Namo” is an expression of submission to command, complete commitment, reverence, devotion, trust for salvation, etc.

《四個字》

母：兒啊，今天你生日，快給媽媽“四個字”，好讓我發財。
兒：阿彌陀佛！
母：傻孩子，我說的是四個數字，我要去買馬票，發大財。
兒：我才不傻，阿彌陀佛的西方極樂淨土有“金、銀、琉璃、玻璃、硨磲、赤珠、瑪瑙”，這不用“本錢”的投資，回報率更大！
