林兄因一句「媽媽會高興」而重返佛堂學道修道，更以多年如一日的孝心照顧病母，言教身教深深影響女兒，讓孝順不只是一人之行，更成為一家相傳的溫暖家風。

Moved by a simple wish to make his mother happy, Brother Lin returned to the temple to attend class. Through his sincere and devoted care for his ill mother, he not only practiced true filial piety himself, but also inspired his daughter to naturally carry on this beautiful family tradition.

為母而行

求道多年的林兄，過去雖未常回佛堂，但當聽見母親一句「如果你去上課，我會很高興」時，他便毫不猶豫地將母親的心願放在心上。單純只想讓媽媽開心，他便從淡水遠赴蘆洲暢德佛堂參加新民班，甚至還帶著小女兒一同前來上小小天使班。這看似平凡的決定，背後卻蘊含著最真摯的孝心——只因母親歡喜，自己便甘願付出行動。

For Mother’s Joy

Although Brother Lin had sought the Tao many years ago, he had not regularly returned to the temple. However, when he told his mother that Lecturer Liu had invited him to attend a class, his mother happily replied, “If you go to class, I would be very happy.” Wanting only to bring joy to his mother, Brother Lin lovingly followed her wish. He traveled all the way from Tamsui back to Luzhou Changde Temple to attend the Xinmin Class, and even brought along his young daughter to join the Little Angels Class. What seemed like a simple decision was, in truth, a heartfelt act of filial devotion—because his mother’s happiness mattered most.

無微不至

當年邁母親因身體不適住院時，林兄始終陪伴左右，真誠孝敬、細心照護，從生活起居到病中照料，皆親力親為、不辭辛勞。他用實際行動詮釋何謂孝順，不僅照顧母親的身體，更安慰母親的心。這份始終如一的孝心，不是口中的承諾，而是在每一天平凡卻深刻的陪伴中，默默守護至親。

Wholehearted Devotion

When his elderly mother was hospitalized due to poor health, Brother Lin remained sincerely devoted, caring for her with unwavering attention and compassion. From daily needs to careful bedside support, he personally took on the responsibility of looking after her without complaint. His filial piety was not merely expressed in words, but through consistent, selfless action. He cared not only for his mother’s physical well-being, but also comforted her heart through steadfast companionship and genuine love.

孝傳下一代

最令人感動的是，林兄的孝行早已深深影響著下一代。當他問小女兒假日都做些什麼時，小女兒自然地回答：「照顧阿嬤、餵藥、陪吃飯。」沒有絲毫抱怨，只有理所當然的愛與責任。正如《百孝經》所言：「孝順能生孝順子。」林兄以身作則，讓孝不只是個人品德，更成為家庭最珍貴的傳承，成就出令人敬佩的孝悌之家。

Passing Filial Piety Forward

Most touching of all, Brother Lin’s example deeply influenced the next generation. When he once asked his young daughter what she usually did on weekends, she answered without hesitation, “Take care of Grandma, help feed her medicine and meals, and pay attention to many things.” There was not the slightest trace of resentment on her face—only a natural sense of love and responsibility. As the Classic of Filial Piety teaches, “Filial parents raise filial children.” Through his own actions, Brother Lin transformed filial piety from a personal virtue into a cherished family legacy, creating a truly admirable household of love, respect, and devotion.
