祝福你 排燈節快樂!!

Guruji explains the reason of playing with fireworks on Diwali. Whatever negativity – anger, jealousy or fear, has been accumulated in your mind in the last one year should get blasted in the form of all the crackers. With each cracker, burst any negativity you may have for any person, or at the most write name of that person on the cracker and burst it, and just know that all ill feelings, jealousy etc, has got burnt. But what do we do? Instead of finishing the negativity, either we wish that person to get finished or burn ourselves in that fire of negativity. It should be the other way around. Thinking all the negativity or ill feelings have gone out with those crackers, become friendly with that person again. There is a feeling of lightness, love, peace and happiness, and then go and have sweets with that person and celebrate Diwali. This is only true Diwali, by bursting crackers burn the bad qualities of that person NOT the person! (Laughter)
 

古儒吉Sri Sri Ravishankar大師解釋在光節及在光節放鞭炮的由來～轉貼自黃韵媁GRACE老師

藉由點燃內在的智慧之光，知識閃耀光芒，這喚醒你所有的本性。
當本性被點燃喚醒之時，那就是光 Diwali，光節～

一年中不論你心中存有多少的負面－如憤怒、忌妒或恐懼，在每年的最後一天，應該要讓這些負面藉著點放鞭炮，將一切的負面都隨著燒除。

你可以將對任何人的任何負面或是甚至在每根鞭炮上寫上人名並引爆，此時了解到所有的不滿、忌妒等等的負面都被燒毀了。但通常我們怎麼做呢？我們不是炸掉那些負面情緒，而是想要炸掉那個人，或是讓自已受負面之火煎熬。

應該要倒過來。讓所有的負面情緖或不滿都隨著鞭炮消失，以輕盈、愛、和平與幸福快樂的心情再次與那個人做朋友，並且帶著充滿心意的甜點跟那個人一起歡慶光節。
這就是光節的緣由；
「炸掉負面而不是炸掉那個人」。（眾人齊聲大笑）
（ps.在光節的習俗裡，家家戶戶要分送甜點給親友或佈施一點錢。）
