如何感恩,學會了就去做吧!
.
.
有個女孩(玲玲)跟媽媽大吵了一架,氣得奪門而出,決定再也不回到這個討厭的家了!她在外頭閒晃一整天,肚子餓得咕嚕咕嚕叫,但因為跟母親大吵一架,忘了帶錢在身上,可又拉不下臉回家吃飯,只好忍著飢餓一直到了晚上。玲玲不知不覺地來到一家麵攤,她聞到了陣陣的香氣,真是好想吃一碗,但身上又沒錢,只能不住的吞口水。
.  
老闆看見女孩不斷向店裡張望,親切地問:「小姑娘啊,妳要不要吃一碗麵啊?」
.
女孩不好意思的回答:「嗯!可是,我跟母親吵架逃家,所以身上並沒有帶錢……」
.
老闆聽了大笑:「沒關係,今天就算老闆請客吧!」
.
玲玲簡直不敢相信自己的耳朵,她馬上坐下來。不一會兒,麵端來了,她吃得津津有味,並說:「老闆,你人真好!不然我今晚還真不知道怎麼辦」
.
老闆又笑了:「小妹妹呀,我只不過幫妳煮了一碗麵,妳就這麼感激我,那麼你媽媽幫你煮了二十幾年的飯,你不是更應該感激她嗎?讓她念幾句有什麼關係呢」
.
玲玲聽完頓時有如大夢初醒!顧不得還剩下的半碗麵,立刻飛奔回家。才到家門前的巷口,就遠遠的瞧見母親正焦急的在家門口四處張望!
.
玲玲很想跟母親說對不起,還沒來得及開口,媽媽一把抱住女兒說:「唉呦,妳跑去那裡兒啦?我找了妳一整天,妳一定餓壞了吧,來,快進來把手洗一洗,媽媽等著妳一塊兒吃晚飯呢。”
.  
這天,玲玲才深深體會到母親對她的愛,就像太陽一樣一直都那麼光亮,如此溫暖啊。
.  
學會感恩吧!
學習,用感恩的心面對生命。感恩挫折磨練了你的意志;感恩那些欺騙你的人,因為他豐富了你的經驗;感激那些輕視你的人,因為他覺醒了你的自尊,感激一切淬煉妳人生的善、惡因緣。感恩生活,賜予你的燦爛陽光。

#感恩、#一碗麵、#太陽、#淬煉rnrnHow to be grateful- Learn and put into action immediately!
.
Ling Ling quarreled with her mother and left her house in anger. She decided not to go back to her detestable home anymore! As she loitered outside for one full day without food, her stomach growled in hunger. She had forgotten to bring money with her after she quarreled with her mother. Yet she refused to back down and return home for a meal. Ling Ling put up with her hunger till late evening.
.
Unknowingly, Ling Ling walked to a shop selling noodles. Smelling the aroma from the noodle shop, she yearned for a bowl of noodles. However as she had no money with her, she could only swallow her saliva.
.
The boss of the shop saw Ling Ling’s glances towards his shop and asked: “Young lady, would you like to come in for a bowl of noodles?”
.
Ling Ling replied with embarrassment: “Yes but I left my house after quarreling with my mother and forgot to bring money with me…”
.
When the boss heard her reply, he laughed: “It’s all right, let me give you a treat today!”
.
Ling Ling could not believe her ears. She sat down immediately. A short while later, the boss served her a bowl of noodles and she began to eat with relish. She told the boss: “You are such a nice person! If not for your generosity, I have no idea what I can do tonight”.
.
The boss smilingly replied: “Young lady, I only cook a bowl of noodles for you and you are already so grateful. Your mother has been cooking for you for the last 20 years, shouldn’t you be more appreciative and grateful to her? What harm can her nagging do?”
.
As she listened to the boss, she felt as if she had just woken up from a dream! She left half of her noodles unfinished and ran home immediately. When she reached the alley in front of her house, she could see from afar that her mother looking around anxiously!
.
Ling Ling wanted to apologize to her mother but before she could say anything, her mother embraced her and asked: “Where did you go? I have been looking for you the whole day. You must be ravenous. Come in and wash your hands. Mum is waiting for you to have dinner together.”
.
Today Ling Ling could feel her mother’s love for her deeply. Her mother’s love was as brilliant as the sun, bringing her warmth.
.
Learn to be grateful!
.
Learn to live life with a grateful heart. Be thankful for life’s obstacles as they help to build up your perseverance; feel grateful to cheaters for they broaden your life experience; be grateful to people who looked down on you for they awaken your self-esteem, feel grateful for all the good and bad affinities that enter your life.
.
Be thankful to life for it bestows you with radiant sunshine.

青春與沉穩的拉鋸戰,你喜歡哪一個? . …

青春與沉穩的拉鋸戰,你喜歡哪一個?
.
.
一個25歲的青年,嘻嘻哈哈的那個我,
你覺得25歲和52歲哪個年齡更好?
.
我當時就是52歲!!我說:
「25歲衝動、折騰,52歲平靜、清淨。」—金菩提宗師—

———————————————————————————–
青春,是一群人的比賽,是熱血沸騰的歡騰,喜歡橫衝直撞,喜歡高聲呐喊,是一場場不需理由的瘋狂。
.
後來,生命是一個人的戰爭。要學習鎮定冷靜,面對職場上、家族間,各種角色混雜於一生的戰爭中。小心察言觀色,去了解每一個人的性格,謹慎應對,直到能夠沉穩中和諧處事。
.
青春與沉穩,一場關於成長的拉鋸戰。..
無論輸贏,不需評斷優劣,只需珍惜現在,把握未來。
祝福大家,集青春與沉穩於一身,鍛鍊生命、成就智慧與圓滿。

A tug of war between being Youthful or Stable; what is your preference?
.
A 25 year old young man, the “I” that was full of laughter.
Which do you prefer? 25 years old or 52 years old?
.
When I was 52 years old, I replied:
“25-year-old tends to be impulsive and restless while 52-year-old is more stable and calm”—Grandmaster JinBodhi

———————————————————————————–
Youth is a competition among a group of people. It is the jubilation of the hot-blooded. When you feel like it, you push your way through or even scream to your heart’s content. It is a craze that does not need justification.
.
In the later years of our life, life becomes a man’s battle. We must learn to remain calm and clear-headed when dealing with career, family and other roles which we are concurrently playing in our life. We must learn to observe and understand the character of every person so as to be tactful in dealing with others and acquire the ability to settle matters amicably in a calm manner.
.
Young or stable, a tug of war in the growing up process.
Regardless of whichever wins, there is no need to make judgement on which is better or more superior, we only need to seize the present and shape the future.
May all enjoy youth and stability, be accomplished and wise!

桂圓紫米粥 Longan purple …

桂圓紫米粥

Longan purple porridge

Words of wisdom from our ancestors: 「Longans from the South, ginseng from the North」. As longans are well known for their tonic effect, their prices are comparable to that of ginseng. There is a story how the name “longans” come about: According to legend, during the Tang dynasty, Yang imperial concubine, the most favored concubine of the Tang emperor fell sick one day. One court official recommended a fruit for Yang imperial concubine. When Yang concubine ate the fruit, she recovered from her illness. The emperor was very happy and named the fruit “longan” which signifies 「recovery of a royal’s body」.

Longans nourish the blood, tranquilize the mind, invigorate the heart and spleen and beautify the skin. As an ingredient in a recipe, it is used to treat insomnia, anemia, forgetfulness etc. Today, I will share with everyone a seasonal winter dish that is high in nutritional value—longan purple porridge.

Ingredients: 50 grams of purple rice, 30 grams of red beans, 15 longans, 20 peanuts, some brown sugar

Preparation method:
1. Soak purple rice and red beans in water overnight. Wash and clean them thoroughly.
2. Remove the skin of the longans
3. Add purple rice and red beans into some water and boil.
4. Add longans, peanuts and cook over a low fire for 40 minutes. Add some brown sugar and the dish is ready to be served.

如何化解一切煩惱和疾病? . . 慈悲心…

如何化解一切煩惱和疾病?
.
.
慈悲心引領著我們,讓我們的心變得無比寬廣,就像大海,無論多麼髒的水,大海都能接受,這種巨大的包容,就是「佛」的大慈悲心。
.
很多的疾病,都是來自於我們的心、我們的意識、我們的判斷,只有非常寬廣的心才不會受傷。比如說同樣被罵了一句:「你笨得簡直像豬一樣」,有的人聽了之後想:「豬也挺可愛的?」微微一笑,轉個身就忘了;有的人聽了,馬上暴跳如雷,拔刀相向。
.
所以我們用「大慈大悲」的心、寬容的心,包容一切,哪怕一開始是虛假的,但若能常常這樣想,也能戰勝煩惱,把煩惱消化了。沒有煩惱就不會有疾病,很多腫瘤就是來自於煩惱。很多女性乳房裡面的腫瘤,是因為生氣,和欲望滿足不了所造成的。腫瘤其實是憋在你的心裡頭,而長在外面的肉。心如大海才能無憂無慮,才能化解一切的痛苦、一切的疾病。打開長壽之門的閥門,一切疾病就會消失。
.
因此,「慈悲心」再加一點「修行和功德」,我們每天就會活得健康快樂自在。
.
今天就讓我們一起來聊聊《禪修指導》(下),探討如何開啟健康快樂的大門。祝福朋友們越來越慈悲,越來越健康,吉祥、幸福、快樂!

How to overcome troubling thoughts and illnesses?
.
Guided by compassion, our heart broadens to become more magnanimous, just like the sea. Regardless of how dirty the water is, the sea will never stop water from flowing into it. This acceptance and tolerance is similar to Buddha’s great compassion.
.
A lot of illnesses stem from one’s heart, subconscious mind and judgement. A person of compassion will not get hurt easily. For instance, if one is being scolded: “You are as stupid as a pig”, some may think: “Pigs are actually very adorable animals”. With a smile, these people turn around and forget about the incident. On the contrary, some may become furious and even get into a fight.
.
We must use a compassionate and magnanimous heart to tolerate and accept everything. Even though we may not really be compassionate to start with, we can overcome mental obstacles and troubles if we always harbour kind thoughts. When we are free from worries, we will not fall sick. Most of our body’s tumors stem from worries and troubling thoughts.
.
Anger and greed are the greatest causes of tumors in women’s breast. Tumors are actually external growth that result from oppressed emotions. One will only be free from troubling thoughts, sufferings and illnesses when one’s heart is broad and open. Once the door of longevity is opened, all illnesses will disappear.
.
Therefore (compassion) coupled with (Self-cultivation and positive karmic merits) will enable us to lead a healthy, peaceful and happy life.
.
Today let us discuss in (Guide to Meditation )- Part 3 how we can trigger and open the door to happiness and good health.
.
May all gain compassion, health, auspiciousness and happiness!

漫談_聖誕馴鹿_魯道夫,鼻子為什麼這麼紅…

漫談_聖誕馴鹿_魯道夫,鼻子為什麼這麼紅?
.
.
傳說,聖誕老人的雪橇車馴鹿_魯道夫,有著一只美麗,發著光芒的紅色鼻子,牠誕生於 1939 年羅伯特.梅(Robert L. May)的童話故事裡。
.
有一年「聖誕夜」裡,突然起了大霧,伸手不見五指,聖誕老人坐在雪橇車上發愁,不知道要怎樣去發送禮物,他想:「孩子們都還在等著我為他們送去禮物呢?天一亮,孩子們若沒看見聖誕禮物,一定會非常傷心和失望的。」
.
當聖誕老人正愁得發慌時,突然看見前方有一盞耀眼的紅色光芒,當光芒漸漸靠近,聖誕老人才看清楚,原來這盞美麗的紅色光芒,是馴鹿_魯道夫的鼻子啊,而「紅光」是最容易穿透霧氣的光,這也是人們的交通燈,喜好使用紅色作為停止信號的一個重要原因。
.
聖誕老人摸摸馴鹿_魯道夫的鼻子說:「今夜,是孩子們睡得最香甜的一個美麗夜晚,但天有不測風雲,竟然大霧漫天,還好有你這發光的紅鼻子啊。」

於是聖誕老人讓馴鹿_魯道夫,作為12隻馴鹿的總領隊,負責照亮前方的道路,也使12隻馴鹿從此不再迷失了方向,完成每年12月25日這天,重要的一項任務。
.
在這12月美麗的銀色季節裡,是個充滿愛的日子,聽說最乖的孩子在這個月份裡,向聖誕老人發出願望,夢想都可能會實現!
.
今天是24節氣中的「冬至」,是一年當中白晝最短的一天,天候也更加寒涼了,大家要注意多保暖,願「冬至」節氣好兆頭,吉祥如暖日子,祝你健康好身子,平平安安一輩子。

The Christmas Reindeer Rudolf – Why does he have a red nose?
.
Legend has it that Santa Claus’ sleigh-pulling reindeer Rudolf has a beautiful and shiny red nose. He was born in 1939, in the pages of the fairy tale penned by Robert L. May.
.
On the eve of Christmas one particular year, the weather turned so foggy that one could hardly see one’s hand stretched out in front of him. Santa sat on his sleigh, worrying about the poor visibility. He thought: “What should I do? The children are still waiting for me and my presents. They will be terribly heartbroken and disappointed if the Christmas presents are not waiting for them when morning arrives.”
.
Just when Santa was getting distressed, he saw a bright red glow moving towards him. It turned out that this beautiful red glow was coming from the nose of Rudolf the reindeer. Red-colored light penetrates fog better than lights of other colors, which is one of the important reasons why our traffic light uses red for Stop.
.
Santa Claus caressed Rudolf’s nose and remarked: “Tonight is a beautiful night, with the children sleeping very soundly. It is really unfortunate that the weather turned foggy out of the blue. Thank goodness for this glowing red nose of yours.”
.
Hence, Santa assigned Rudolf to be the leader of the pack of 12 reindeers, being responsible for illuminating the way ahead. Ever since then, the pack has never lost its way and can always complete their important task on December 25th year after year.
.
This beautiful silvery season in December is a season of love; a time when children are most obediently making their wishes to Santa, hoping their wishes would come true!
.
Today is 「Winter Solstice」of the 24 solar terms which is also the shortest day of the year. The weather is even colder. We must be mindful to keep warm. May the 「Winter Solstice」 brings good luck and good healthy throughout your life.
.
Like is an encouragement, Sharing is the best support.

【如何學會歡喜接受】
.
.
所謂:「良藥苦口利於病,忠言逆耳利於行」。
.
「人」都喜歡聽好聽的話,吃好吃的東西,一但聽到有人說你的不是或缺點,就會火冒三丈,恨不得把對方給狠揍一頓,所以大家見了你,只好說說客套話,好聽的話,恭維你一番。因此,人們就再也聽不到真實的話語了。當你看不見自己,究竟會給自己帶來什麼結果呢,我來給大家說個真實的故事吧!
.
戰國時代有個有名的神醫,叫 扁鵲。
有一天,扁鵲去見蔡桓公,說:「王啊,您的皮膚有點小毛病,求桓公讓我給您醫治吧。」
桓侯不悅的說:「我沒有病,你請回吧。」
扁鵲走後,桓公說:「大夫(醫生)總是喜歡給沒病的人治病,以此做為自己的功勞!」
.
過了十天,扁鵲對桓公說:「您的病已經到了肌肉裡,不醫治的話,會更加嚴重下去。」桓公一樣不予理睬。再過了十天,扁鵲見桓公,仍警告地說:「您的病已經到了腸胃,王怎麼就是不信呢?」說完扁鵲嘆口氣踱步離去,桓公還是不理。
.
再過了十天,扁鵲遠遠望見桓公,竟突然拔腿就跑。
扁鵲說:「現在桓公的病已深入骨髓裡,我也無能為力了,為了避免被殺頭我只好逃跑。」
沒多久,桓公果真開始渾身疼痛,派人去尋扁鵲,卻已遍尋不著,扁鵲已經逃到秦國去了。
桓公因為病入膏肓,也就死去了。
.
所以,我們對待逆耳的、打擊的話語和行為,要學會歡喜接受、更需要正向思考。好多逆耳的話,對我們本身就是一種幫助,學習勇敢面對問題,才有機會解決問題。
.
週六就讓我們一起來聊聊《禪修指導》(下),探討怎樣去「學會歡喜接受」,去把慈悲和美好給周圍的人,我們才會得到幸福。
.
喜歡就請分享,祝福朋友們都能夠吉祥、幸福、健康、快樂!

(Learn to accept graciously and happily)
.
As a popular Chinese saying goes: (A bitter medicine cures the disease. Honest advices may be unpleasant for the ears but they are beneficial to our general well-being.)
.
Humans love to listen to nice words and eat tasty food. The moment they hear honest opinions about their flaws, they get angry and may even have the urge to beat the other person up. As a result when people see you, they will only say pleasantries and words that flatter you. You will no longer be able to hear sincere and honest words. When you cannot see yourself clearly, what will be the outcome? Let me share a story!
.
During warring states period, there was a highly skilled doctor. His name was Bianque.
One day, Bianque went to see Cai Huangong and said: “Your majesty, you have some minor skin diseases, please allow me to treat you.”
Huangong said in displeasure: “I am not ill, please leave.”
After Bianque left, Huangong said to himself: “Doctors like to treat people who are not ill so as to gain credits for themselves!”
.
After ten days, Bianque told Huangong: “Your illness had spread to your muscles. If you do not seek for treatment, it will get worse.”
Again, Huangong ignored Bianque’s words. After another ten days, Bianque continued to warn Huangong when he saw him: “Your illness had spread to your stomach, why do you not trust me, your Majesty?” With these words, Bianque sighed and walked away. Huangong continued to remain indifferent to Bianque’s words.
.
Ten days later, the moment Bianque spotted Huangong from a distance, he immediately started running. Bianque said: “Huangong’s illness had spread to his bone marrow, there is nothing I can do to cure him now. To avoid being beheaded, I can only flee.”
.
Not long after, Huangong started to feel aching in his whole body. He sent his guards to look for Bianque but failed to locate hm. Bianque had run to neighboring Qin country to hide. As Huangong was beyond cure, he eventually passed on.
.
Hence when we hear words that are unpleasant to our ears, we must learn to accept graciously and contemplate whether there is truth in them. Sincere, honest advices are beneficial to us and we must learn to face our problems bravely. Only then would we be able to resolve them.
.
Today let us discuss in Guide to Meditation- Part 3 how we can learn to accept happily and graciously. Only then would we be able to rectify and correct our problems. We will only gain happiness when we are compassionate and brings happiness to people around us.
.
