因着我父親相信佛教的關係,茶餐廳的裝飾大多是一些觀音和佛像相關的東西;而其中最為人津津樂道的就是放在茶餐廳的收銀機旁的大型木魚,木魚的長闊高大概為六十厘米左右,上面刻有精緻的不明圖案及符號。435Please respect copyright.PENANAd6s73X0p6B
可能木魚整體給人的感覺非常特別的關係,不少顧客結帳時均會貪玩的用拳頭輕力敲打一下。435Please respect copyright.PENANAFOqqlraINU

父親跟我説過,這大型木魚是我們甘氏祖宗的吉祥物。435Please respect copyright.PENANAuXHkMStnOm
很久以前,我的曾祖父跟祖母計劃乘坐木艇偷渡來香港。豈料途中遇上風暴把木艇摧毀,二人因此被拋進海裡。曾祖父熟悉水性且可徒手游泳出公海,所以並不構成任何問題。可是曾祖母不諳水性,跌進海裡後便立刻手忙腳亂的大聲求救起來。435Please respect copyright.PENANAwq5nbIHaiu
435Please respect copyright.PENANAeS7g8QBGzi
慌亂的她無定向的把手腳胡亂揮動,再加上海中巨大風浪的關係,曾祖父用盡全力也無法靠近她身邊。就在某一刻,曾祖母突然停止了掙扎起來,並大叫他的名字。435Please respect copyright.PENANAUkDiaJkpLr
心急如焚的曾祖父暴走似的拼命游向曾祖母那方向,最後他才發現曾袓母雙手緊握着不知從那方向飄來的巨型木魚,巨型木魚像浮板一樣似的令她能夠安穩的浮在海中,免卻了遇溺的危機。435Please respect copyright.PENANAv4ClnJPbVl

435Please respect copyright.PENANALzI6vhzeUw
曾祖父徒手游泳迎破風浪、曾祖母則以巨型木魚當作浮板雙腳踢水在水中前行。就這樣的,他們成功從水路到達了香港。曾祖父母認為海上的巨型木魚是佛祖賜給他們的救命恩物,並因此相信了佛教。435Please respect copyright.PENANAfFB4FB381Q
435Please respect copyright.PENANA7fAPUzBSz6
435Please respect copyright.PENANAOwlKl6N5sk
曾祖父這個故事一代的傳承到另一代,父親亦因此順理成章的成為了佛教的信徒,報答佛祖賜下巨型木魚拯救祖先之恩。435Please respect copyright.PENANAanX4Tgkqsr
435Please respect copyright.PENANAG1PfG0dj1P
儘管如此,父親跟我説明了木魚的由來後並沒有強迫我加入佛教。他認為強迫我入救並沒有任何意思;他相信事情冥冥中自有安排,凡事不可強求,隨缘便可。435Please respect copyright.PENANAD79lkMu2kc

佛誕當天,父親決定暫停營業茶餐廳一天,一家人到附近的寺廟以作參拜。435Please respect copyright.PENANA64LoIOBES9
435Please respect copyright.PENANAZnl6v8eC2w
通往寺廟的街道上水洩不通,充滿着前往寺廟朝拜和慶祝佛誕的人。街上兩旁擺滿了各式各樣的攤檔,整個場景非常的熱鬧。母親看見街上人流眾多,立刻緊握着我的左手以免我在人羣中走失。435Please respect copyright.PENANAJG9BKq8tjv
435Please respect copyright.PENANAmszBBF6WVs
435Please respect copyright.PENANAWOsCxJEKQt
父親決定在進入寺廟前先行購買一些線香,好使能在廟裡焚香以作供奉佛祖,故此我們一家人便停留在一間售賣線香的鋪頭前。435Please respect copyright.PENANAmLcgv64d2V
435Please respect copyright.PENANAKfKSTPbDhl
就在此時,我聽到一陣帶有節奏感的聲音。435Please respect copyright.PENANALmzjE9ki1Y
435Please respect copyright.PENANAwmAfa4kkAG
435Please respect copyright.PENANA42btrlnk5k
「啪!啪!啪!」435Please respect copyright.PENANAvtsNoCbLt1

435Please respect copyright.PENANAEnGsoXH39i
435Please respect copyright.PENANA8zZod9X1kv
當我望向發出聲音的方向時,我看見一名兇神惡煞的大漢筆直的站在一名坐在地下的和尚前面,不斷的把硬幣大力的投擲在和尚的化緣盤上。435Please respect copyright.PENANAfOB65WQetr
435Please respect copyright.PENANAkwLmE5nVMq
435Please respect copyright.PENANANxU20N9Bw6
啪啪聲的來源正是硬幣撞擊化緣盤而成的。435Please respect copyright.PENANAUKFtNyzoBG
435Please respect copyright.PENANAYwHkXdQ45c
435Please respect copyright.PENANA5OPEJpGFOx
可是當我細心看着面前的情況後,我才發覺事情並不是這樣的簡單。那名大漢每一下大力的投擲均使化緣盤上部分的硬幣從盤上彈在半空,大漢亦隨即的把彈在空中的硬幣拿走放在自己的褲袋裡。435Please respect copyright.PENANAz2YRmAk2Gy
435Please respect copyright.PENANAPovOtxcq5E
換言之,那大漢其實是在透過硬幣的投擲,隔空的偷取那名和尚化緣盤上的金錢。該名和尚在整個過程中均閉上雙眼,完全沒有留意到該名大漢所作的行為。435Please respect copyright.PENANAga9LvCuKE0
435Please respect copyright.PENANA2o5s2deFlS
435Please respect copyright.PENANAPvoOVEdLdx
我對此感到非常憤怒,連忙的在地下拾起了幾顆尖銳的碎石,瞄準那名大漢的後腦用力的投擲。435Please respect copyright.PENANAB6laoqywja
435Please respect copyright.PENANAVek0Ama7nY
他隨即慘叫了一聲,右手摸着血流不止的頭部不斷望向四周。我立刻躲在母親的腳下並默默的看着地下,避免和那名大漢有任何的眼神接觸。435Please respect copyright.PENANAffL6bq6qyM
435Please respect copyright.PENANAAP4q1c18tt
大概過了幾秒左右,我突然感覺到有人輕拍我的左膊頭,我完全沒有勇氣舉高頭望向對方,只是戰戰競競的對着地下説435Please respect copyright.PENANAkGz3bH6O0a
