【菩提養生素食教室】——春餅
.
春回大地,萬物復甦,各種春季當令時蔬發出嫩芽。民間在春季有吃春餅的風俗習慣,最早的春餅是將餅與數種當季生菜擺在一個盤子裡,又稱為「春盤」、「五辛盤」,五辛即帶有辛味的五種蔬菜皆可,取其辛味,有促進人體行氣活血之功效,故春天食當令新鮮蔬菜,既能防病又有迎接春天的意味,因而又有「咬春」之稱。
.
「春日春盤細生菜」杜甫也曾在詩中描述春盤的時蔬是切成細絲來食用的,春餅不僅能在立春日食用,平日也是尋常人家的日常飲食。在吃春餅時也特別講究麵皮將菜捲起之後,要從頭吃到尾,叫「有頭有尾」,取其吉利的象徵意義。隨著烹飪技術的提高,今日所見的春餅演變成小巧玲瓏的捲餅,裡頭所包的食材隨著個人的喜好也會有所不同。如下附上食材與作法供大家參考。
.
材料──
1、餅皮三張
2、胡蘿蔔一根
3、綠豆芽300克
4、水發木耳數朵
5、香油、炒菜油、精鹽、生抽(醬油)、花椒少許
.
作法──
1、倒入適量沙拉油,熱鍋後放入餅皮,兩面煎熟後撈起備用。
2、胡蘿蔔切絲,綠豆芽洗淨,水發木耳切絲。
3、鍋裡倒油後,放入花椒爆香,取出鍋中的花椒粒。
4、倒入胡蘿蔔絲、綠豆芽、木耳絲翻炒。
5、根據個人口味輕重放入鹽、生抽(醬油)、香油,翻炒均勻,即可出鍋。
(食材可以根據個人喜好,改用圓白菜絲、土豆絲(馬鈴薯絲)等,還可以加入炒熟的芝麻來增加香味。)
6、拿一張餅皮攤平,夾一大筷子菜絲放在餅上,捲成一個捲筒就完成了。
.
.
吃春餅的樂趣,就在於自己動手做餅皮、備料、捲餅的過程,然後享受自己的成果,在春季食用春餅很有返樸歸真的暢快韻味。

Delicacies of Spring – the Spring Pancake

The arrival of Spring heralds the resumption of animal activities which helps sprout fresh shoots from plants.
The Spring Pancake is a traditional snack during this season. In the early days, the Spring Pancake consists of the pancake with seasonal vegetables served on a plate, known as the “Spring Plate” or “Five-flavor Plate”. It comprised 5 types of vegetables carefully selected to provide a balanced taste. At the same time, the snack helps nourish the body and optimize metabolism. The fresh vegetables in the snack ingredients enhance the well-being and allow one to savor the taste of Spring.
.
Renowned literary master Du Fu (杜甫) referenced the Spring Pancake in one of his works, literally translated as “Spring, the Spring Pancake and its fine ingredients”. Indeed, the vegetables in the Spring Pancake filling are delicately prepared to appeal to the taste buds. While it is customary to mark the coming of Spring, the Spring Pancake can, nonetheless, be enjoyed at all times. Particular attention is paid to how one enjoys the pancake: to carefully roll the pancake and consume it from one tip (head) to the other end (tail). It is believed that this ensures one enjoys a smooth progression from beginning to the end of one’s ventures. In recent times, the Spring Pancake has become more intricate due to enhanced baking techniques and a variety of fillings to appeal to a wider crowd.

We are pleased to share the recipe below.
.
Ingredients
1 . 3 sheets of pancake skin
2 . 1 Carrot
3 . Green bean sprouts – 300 g
4 . Few black fungus (pre-soaked)
6 . Sesame oil, cooking oil, salt, soy sauce, pepper-corns
.
Method:
1 . Heat some cooking oil in the pan. Fry the pancake in the pan on medium heat (not too hot) pan, flipping after a minute or so when the middle of the pancake rises slightly.
2.Shred the carrot; rinse the green bean sprouts; and rinse and cut the fungus into strips.
3. With some oil in the pan, stir fry the pepper corns.
4. Add in carrots, green bean sprouts, fungus strips and stir-fry.
5. Add salt, soya sauce, sesame oil according to individual taste and stir-fry the ingredients evenly.
According to preferences, one can also use vegetables such as cabbage, potatoes, and include fried sesame for more flavor.
6. Place the prepared fillings onto the pancake before rolling it up.
Voila, the Spring Pancake is now ready!
.
.
The effort of preparation of the ingredients, making the pancake and finally rolling the pancake with appetizing vegetables filling before savoring the pancake is most gratifying. There is much delight in this back-to-basics approach – Try it!

【七分誠心,滿十分願。】
.
.
今天是念佛第十二天,已經有很多同修發來他的奇妙體驗,「觀世音菩薩」有求必應的願望,相信大家只要用「真誠」付諸於行動,就能有願皆成。
歡迎大家繼續分享這12天的念佛奇妙旅程,或你有修行的問題,都可以在這兒提出,祝福大家吉祥、快樂。
.
同修1_念佛改變我的先生與婆婆,讓我的家充滿祥和溫暖。
感恩師父,弟子從2月25日開始念佛時,觀想師父端坐在前方虛空中金色蓮臺上,弟子觀想禮拜,同時觀想不支持我學佛的先生、婆婆在我前方也接受禮拜,希望他們理解和支持我,念佛一段時間後,現在先生回家破天荒的會幫我洗碗做些家事,臉上總是掛著笑容,婆婆見我也不垮臉了。感恩師父!
.
同修2._ 禪修讓我變美麗
跟著師父禪修的第二天,早晨起來,刷牙洗臉,抬頭看了一下鏡子,突然發現自己的眼睛比以前大了點啊,鼻樑也高了點啊,真不敢相信啊,這幾天,天天看了下鏡子,是真的啊!記得師父說過:「常買花獻給佛,就會變得年輕漂亮。」禪修不但讓自己的心變得善良,慈悲大度,這人啊也年輕了啊。
.
同修3_念佛讓我頭痛不藥而癒
昨天可能感冒,頭很痛,很鬱悶,本來打算早早睡覺,後來想想還是得堅持念佛,如果實在嚴重就去睡覺吧。沒想到念了10多分鐘頭痛緩解了,一個小時後頭痛完全消失了,心情也變得愉悅起來。整晚好夢,早上起來心情還是甜滋滋的。
.
同修4_改變心態讓我遇難呈祥
禪修之前,自己的心是一個貪婪自私的心,在行動上沒有幫過人。禪修以後,聆聽師父開示,懂得了很多道理。貪婪自私的心,慢慢往慈悲善良的心轉變。也願意幫助別人做些事情,有時耽誤了自己休息時間,甚至於少了陪有病的孩子的時間。但想到能幫人做一些事情,心中就非常高興。由於心態的改變,家中很多棘手的事情,都能遇難成祥。今後要更加努力,讓自己每一個細胞都變成菩薩的笑臉!
.
同修5_修行的生命奇蹟
記得我第一次的發心供養,是被一位師兄姐所感動的。記得他是國內擦皮鞋的下崗工人,當時經濟業困難。所以他發願:「我要將我每天擦第一雙皮鞋的所得,先供養我的師父! 讓我的小小供養能讓更多的人得到師父的幫助。」我被他的真誠感動,於是我也想:「我沒工作沒關係,那我就每天節約一塊錢飯錢,來加入師父的幫人計畫。」結果這麼多年下來,得到幫助最多的就是我自己!
如師父所言:「幫人就是幫自己!」後來我不僅找到工作,賺的錢更多,連女兒都覺得就媽媽這臭英語水準,還能找到美國人的工作,不可思議! 我告訴她,這全托師父的福,教誨我們如何改命造運。

Today is the twelfth day since we started chanting. Many fellow practitioners have shared their amazing experiences with me. The compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva has vowed to help all who call out to her. I am sure that those of you who have demonstrated your sincerity would have gotten your wishes fulfilled.
.
I welcome all of you to share your amazing 12-day chanting journey here. If you have questions regarding your practice, please feel free to raise them here as well. I wish all of you good fortune and happiness.

Fellow practitioner 1 – Chanting transformed my husband and mother-in-law, bringing warmth and tranquility to my home.
I started chanting on 25th February, visualizing Master seated on a golden lotus flower in front of me. As I visualized myself prostrating to Master, I imagined my husband and mother-in-law receiving my prostrations as well. I wished they would be more understanding and supportive of me practicing the Dharma. After a few days of chanting, incredible things happened. My husband helped me with the housework proactively and wears a big smile on his face all the time. Even my mother-in-law has stopped frowning at me. Master, thank you so much for your blessings!
.
Fellow practitioner 2 – Meditation has made me more beautiful.
While I was brushing my teeth on the second day of practice, I could not believe what I saw in the mirror. My eyes have grown bigger and my nose has become a bit sharper! I remember Master once said that offering flowers regularly to Buddha would help us become younger and more beautiful. Not only has meditation made me a kinder and more compassionate person, it has made me younger too!
.
Fellow practitioner 3 – Chanting has cured my headache.
I was feeling down yesterday due to a bad headache. After some deliberation, I decided to persevere with my chanting practice. Amazingly, my headache started to ease after 10 min of chanting, and it was totally gone by the end of the hour! I felt so happy. Not only did I have a great sleep that night, good mood followed me into the next day!
.
Fellow practitioner 4 – Change in mindset brings me good fortune.
Before I started meditating, I was a greedy and selfish individual who has never offered to help anybody. After I started mediating, I listened to Master’s teachings regularly and learned a lot from his teachings. My greedy and selfish nature slowly transformed into one that is compassionate and kind. Now, I am always willing to help other people, even if it means I have less time to rest or to spend with my child who is sick. The thought of being able to help someone truly makes me happy. As a result of my change in mindset, I am now blessed with good fortune. Troubles at home have fortuitously resolved on their own. I tell myself that I have to practice even harder, until every cell in my body is transformed into Bodhisattva’s smiling face!
.
Fellow practitioner 5 – Life’s miracles from meditation practice.
I still remember how a fellow practitioner inspired my first sincere offering to Master. He was laid off during a time when the economy was bad, and he made ends meet subsequently through being a shoe-shiner in China. He made a vow to offer to Master the money he received from his first customer everyday, so that more people can benefit from Master’s teachings. I was genuinely touched by his sincerity and I told myself: “It does not matter that I do not have a job. Let me join in Master’s plan to help others by saving one dollar from my lunch everyday!” It has been many years since then, and the person who benefited the most all these years is myself! As Master once said, “To help others is to help yourself!” I have since found a well-paid job, which amazed even my daughter. She could not believe that with my lousy English, I could still find such a job in America. I told her that this is all thanks to Master, who taught us how to transform our lives.
.
Thank you for all your sharing of your practice.
Guanyin Bodhisattva has twelve vows’ to bestow all sentient beings with wisdom, compassion, and blessings. May every one’s wishes be fulfilled.

【有情有義,學佛做人】 . 你覺什麼悟呢…

【有情有義,學佛做人】
.
你覺什麼悟呢?有的人以為無情便是覺悟,無情如枯木啊,無情最痛苦!佛門所說「斬斷情絲」的概念,是斬斷自我私欲的愛戀和貪欲之情,而不是不讓人愛了。要把私愛的本身看清楚,把真情的部分再增加,這才是大情大愛。
.
佛陀釋迦牟尼如果沒有情的話,何必在世間說讓眾生離苦得樂的方法呢?是我們愚癡,沒理解透。所以,佛門最講情,希望我們的菩提弟子們,從今天起變成最有情有義的人、知恩圖報的人、精進修行的人。

Learn from the Buddha – Be a loving and righteous person
.
What make you an enlightened being? Some people think that detached and heartless is enlightenment. But in reality, it is like dead wood, bringing tremendous pain! The Buddhist concept of “severance of all attachment” refers to the severance of one’s individual desire, greed and affection. Hence we need to be able to distinguish what is self-love in order to understand true compassion.
.
If Shakyamuni Buddha has no universal love, why does he spend relentless time spreading the dharma to teach sentient beings how to end suffering? It is our ignorance that prevented us from seeing the truth. Hence, Buddhism is all about universal love and compassion. I hope that from today onwards, every Bodhi disciple will strive to be the most compassionate, grateful and diligent cultivator.

能量與八卦 . . 八卦內功是一個非常獨…

能量與八卦
.
.
八卦內功是一個非常獨特的修行方法,主要是針對很多身體不太健康的人。我的師父曾經告訴我,八卦內功可能對癌症的預防或者是康復有很重要的作用。所以,大家來學習走八卦內功,是一個很幸運的事情。
.
在中國古代的時候,人們認為天是圓的,圓形的運動也象徵著宇宙天體運行的軌跡,順天而動,就能獲得天地能量,從而獲得健康。所以咱們走「八卦」的時候,兩手臂、兩腿以及走的圈都是圓弧狀的,進行畫圓的運動以聚集能量,運用在人的身體上也能讓人長壽。
.
八卦內功對健康真有幫助,要想讓自己好起來,讓身體真正地康復,最少需要108個小時,而每天最多只能做上一兩個小時,需要有108天的時間;並且最好是每天統一的一個時間,比如說早晨五點、六點、七點、八點、九點、十點都行。
.
按照能量和宇宙空間學說,早上、上午的時間修比較好,當我們看到太陽升起的時候,這個能量是向上升,對我們的健康是有幫助的。所以下午練功就不如上午好,有這麼一個差別。
.
任何一種修練方法要見成效,都貴在「堅持」。
如果我們每天走一個小時的「八卦」,再念一個小時的佛,就能夠讓人自然地充滿著「慈悲」,充滿著一種「真理的力量」,甚至會自動地通達這些真理,叫一通百通。當道理上通達之後,人真的就會自在了。
.

Energy and Bagua

Energy Bagua is a very unique method of practice and is especially beneficial for people with health problems. My master once told me that Energy Bagua may be really helpful in the prevention and recovery of cancer. Hence, we are very fortunate to be able to learn this practice.

In ancient China, people believed that the sky was round. The circular motions in sports represented the orbits of the celestial bodies in the universe. It was believed that as we emulate the celestial movement, we would accumulate vital energy from the universe, which in turn would give us good health. In Energy Bagua, not only do we walk in circles, our arms and legs also move in arcs. This helps us to accumulate vital energy, which brings us longevity.

Energy Bagua is truly beneficial to health. For full benefits, we will need to practice for at least 108 hours, with not more than 1 or 2 hours each day. That will take 108 days. For optimal benefit, it is best to practice at the same time everyday. For instance, you can practice at five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten o’clock every morning and stick to that time.

According to the theory of cosmic energy, mornings are the best time to practice. As the sun rises, vital energy of the universe is on the rise, which brings benefits to our health. Practicing in the afternoon, in comparison, is not as good as practicing in the morning.

To experience the full benefits from any type of practice, perseverance is key. If we can practice an hour of Bagua, followed by an hour of chanting everyday, compassion will come naturally to us. We may even get enlightened about the universal truths. Only when we understand those truths will we feel peaceful and at ease.

八卦內功——身心健康之道•之一

#EnergyBagua #HealthAndLongevity #Perseverancernrn能量與八卦
.

八卦內功是一個非常獨特的修行方法,主要是針對很多身體不太健康的人。我的師父曾經告訴我,八卦內功可能對癌症的預防或者是康復有很重要的作用。所以,大家來學習走八卦內功,是一個很幸運的事情。
.
在中國古代的時候,人們認為天是圓的,圓形的運動也象徵著宇宙天體運行的軌跡,順天而動,就能獲得天地能量,從而獲得健康。所以咱們走「八卦」的時候,兩手臂、兩腿以及走的圈都是圓弧狀的,進行畫圓的運動以聚集能量,運用在人的身體上也能讓人長壽。
.
八卦內功對健康真有幫助,要想讓自己好起來,讓身體真正地康復,最少需要108個小時,而每天最多只能做上一兩個小時,需要有108天的時間;並且最好是每天統一的一個時間,比如說早晨五點、六點、七點、八點、九點、十點都行。
.
按照能量和宇宙空間學說,早上、上午的時間修比較好,當我們看到太陽升起的時候,這個能量是向上升,對我們的健康是有幫助的。所以下午練功就不如上午好,有這麼一個差別。
.
任何一種修練方法要見成效,都貴在「堅持」。
如果我們每天走一個小時的「八卦」,再念一個小時的佛,就能夠讓人自然地充滿著「慈悲」,充滿著一種「真理的力量」,甚至會自動地通達這些真理,叫一通百通。當道理上通達之後,人真的就會自在了。

Energy and Bagua

Energy Bagua is a very unique method of practice and is especially beneficial for people with health problems. My master once told me that Energy Bagua may be really helpful in the prevention and recovery of cancer. Hence, we are very fortunate to be able to learn this practice.

In ancient China, people believed that the sky was round. The circular motions in sports represented the orbits of the celestial bodies in the universe. It was believed that as we emulate the celestial movement, we would accumulate vital energy from the universe, which in turn would give us good health. In Energy Bagua, not only do we walk in circles, our arms and legs also move in arcs. This helps us to accumulate vital energy, which brings us longevity.

Energy Bagua is truly beneficial to health. For full benefits, we will need to practice for at least 108 hours, with not more than 1 or 2 hours each day. That will take 108 days. For optimal benefit, it is best to practice at the same time everyday. For instance, you can practice at five, six, seven, eight, nine or ten o’clock every morning and stick to that time.

According to the theory of cosmic energy, mornings are the best time to practice. As the sun rises, vital energy of the universe is on the rise, which brings benefits to our health. Practicing in the afternoon, in comparison, is not as good as practicing in the morning.

To experience the full benefits from any type of practice, perseverance is key. If we can practice an hour of Bagua, followed by an hour of chanting everyday, compassion will come naturally to us. We may even get enlightened about the universal truths. Only when we understand those truths will we feel peaceful and at ease.

真假鑽石 有對年輕情侶,感情非常好,準備…

真假鑽石

有對年輕情侶,感情非常好,準備結婚。男方是我徒弟,沒有什麼經濟基礎,但是丈母娘就要求他一定要給女兒買一個大大的、非常昂貴的鑽石戒指。我這個年輕徒弟無論如何買不起,天天愁眉苦臉的,有一天,實在想不出好辦法,很苦惱地跑來問我,我半開玩笑地說:「買個假的鑽石戒指吧。」

年輕人想想自己實在也沒有別的出路,雖然知道我半開玩笑,後來還是決定這麼做了。結果丈母娘見到鑽石欣喜若狂,天天和鄰里炫耀自己女兒有福氣,有多大的鑽石結婚戒指。後來因緣巧合,丈母娘知道了鑽石戒指是假的,不禁悲痛欲絕,天天數落這對年輕人。還好徒弟的女友非常通情達理,又很愛徒弟,想方設法化解了母親的失落。

這件事情引發我很多的思考。如果徒弟的丈母娘有一顆慈悲、大愛的心,就會想到:「我愛我的女兒,我女兒愛他,那麼他就是我愛的人,跟我的兒子一樣,我為什麼要給他增加經濟負擔呢?」如果她一開始就用這樣慈悲的心來體諒,她便不會強求沒有經濟基礎的年輕人去買大鑽石,也就不會因為看到大鑽石而過分欣喜,更不會因為知道鑽石是假的而悲痛欲絕了。

因此,一顆慈悲的心便可能完全避免這次痛苦的發生。但是因為愛得不夠,愛得自私、刻薄、甚至刁難的時候,最終傷害的就是自己了。

那麼會不會有別人被傷害呢?有。實際上丈母娘的這個要求,在她女兒的身體上深深地捅了一刀。因為男方本來很純情地在愛她的女兒,但是因為丈母娘堅持要求買鑽戒,男方可能就會對這段感情打上一個問號?「你真的愛我嗎?真的愛我為什麼要為難我呢?」就因此種下將來可能分手的一個起因。

因此,用慈悲的心來對待「幸福」、對待身邊的人,就不會用金錢的高低來衡量愛;以寬容的心去對待別人,就是在打下未來得到幸福的基礎。

沒有附加值的愛情才是最真的愛!

A young couple in love were preparing for their marriage. The man happened to be one of my disciples, and he was not financially strong. Unfortunately the would-be mother-in-law demanded that he buy a wedding ring with a large and expensive diamond. This young man simply could not afford it and was saddened. Having exhausted all means and in deep sorrow, he came to consult me. I told him in jest, “Try getting a fake diamond ring.”

The young man thought about it and came to the conclusion that there was no other way out. Even though he understood what I said was in jest, he decided to give it a try. The would-be mother-in-law was overjoyed on seeing the diamond ring. She boasted to the neighbors that her daughter was so fortunate to have such an expensive diamond ring for her wedding. However, due to unfortunate turn of events, the mother-in-law discovered that the diamond ring was a fake. She was in despair and criticized the young couple repeatedly. Fortunately, the girlfriend was rational and kind. She was also deeply in love with my disciple, so she managed to find a way to mitigate the agony of her mother.

This incident led to some deep thoughts in me. If the mother-in-law had a compassionate and tender loving heart, she would reason, “Since I love my daughter and my daughter is in love with him, I should extend my love to him as if he is my son. Why would I inflict such a financial burden on him? ” In fact, if the mother-in-law had initially dealt with the situation with a tender loving heart, she would not have insisted that the young man buy an expensive diamond ring, even though he was not rich. She would not have been overjoyed by the sight of the diamond, and definitely would not have grieved after finding out later that it was a fake diamond.

Therefore, all the suffering could have been avoided through having a compassionate heart. Unfortunately, her superficial and selfish love in this case resulted in displeasure and hurtful acts, eventually hurting herself.

Were there others who were hurt in this incident? The answer is yes. In actual fact, the demand by the mother-in-law had dealt a heavy blow to her daughter. The young man had initially loved his girlfriend deeply. This incident could have cast doubts about the girlfriend’s love for him and he would question himself, “Does she really love me? If she does why does she impose difficulty on me? ” This could be a cause leading to possible separation of the couple in due course.

If we treat “happiness” and people around us with a heart of compassion, we will not measure love in monetary terms. If one deals with others with a mind of tolerance, he is laying the foundation for achieving happiness in the future.

“Happiness” does not imply how much or how many things one owns; happiness is actually a state of mind.

【正心、正念】
.
正心是什麼呢?慈悲之心,乃至開悟成就之心,這些都是正心。
.
正念就是每一個的念頭、每一關潛在的意識都是正的:我是慈悲的,我是修行人,我是善良的人!
.
尤其當利益來的時候、當財色名利來的時候、還有煩惱痛苦來的時候,要提醒自己:我是一個慈悲的人,我是尋求慈悲、覺悟、解脫的人!念頭正了之後,你後來的行為才會有所約束、有所收斂、有所不忍、有所同情、有所慈悲、有所佈施……。
.
所以正心、正念,最後才能正行啊!

金菩提禪語

從人到佛,是學習來的,
當發心達到極大純度的時候,就像鑽石,越單純反而越堅硬。
鑽石的成分不過就是碳,修佛法就是這樣子的。

The path to Buddhahood is through cultivation.
When you attain maximum purity, you will be like diamond – strongest in its purest form.
The composite of diamond is nothing but carbon. So is the cultivation of Buddha dharma.
