「富人吃補藥,窮人泡泡腳。」

[The rich eat tonics, the poor soak their feet] What are the benefits of a foot bath in the winter season?

As the saying goes: 「Chills invade our body through our feet, the legs show the first sign of aging.」 According to the Chinese physicians, 「Humans possess feet just as trees possess roots. The roots will decline first, follow by the withering of the tree. When old age comes to a man, the feet will decline first.」 Therefore, it is important to maintain the health of our feet in the winter season.

5th January in the Gregorian calendar this year is known as the “Minor Cold” solar term. Though termed as Minor Cold, according to past records, temperatures during the Minor Cold are lower than in the “Major Cold”. According to Chinese physicians, 「Blood coagulates when temperature is low」, so blood circulation improves in a warm environment and easily stagnates in a cold environment. Hence it is imperative to engage in more physical activity during the Minor Cold solar term so as to improve blood circulation. Before engaging in any exercise, it is important to do proper warm-ups. The exercise should increase gradually in terms of strength. Do not engage in sudden strenuous exercises so as to avoid sports injuries.

There is an old saying circulating among common folks: 「The rich eat tonics, the poor soak their feet.」 Indeed, a foot bath brings tremendous benefits to the body. During the Minor Cold, it is especially beneficial to have a foot bath just before retiring to bed. A comfortable foot bath should have a water temperature of 40 ℃. You may like to add onions and ginger to further promote blood circulation. After soaking your feet, give your feet a good rub at the center of the sole and wriggle your toes to stimulate acupuncture points of the feet. By massaging your feet gently for ten minutes a day, you can get rid of negative chills, keep your body warm and relieve fatigue, thereby leading to a good sleep. Try it and reap the benefits!

自我改造_我的吸引力法則 . . 所謂:…

自我改造_我的吸引力法則
.
.
所謂:「德不孤,必有鄰。」——《論語》
早在2500年前,中國的孔老夫子就說過:「有仁德的人是不會孤獨的。」
.
幾年前,有一個太太,她的夫妻關係挺緊張的,不管發生什麼事,她都認為是她先生的錯,甚至把離婚申請書都寫好了。她一直在尋找夫妻之間的答案,但一直沒有找到。
.
後來經朋友介紹,來上了菩提「禪修」的課程。
結束後,她好興奮地,跑去找帶她來上課的師姐說︰「我找到答案了,我不離婚了。」她說:「在原本的夫妻關係中,我一直都認為是他的錯,現在我才驚覺,原來都是我的錯,我沒有真正地付出一個妻子應該付出的愛,我不離婚了,我要努力去修補夫妻關係。」
.
當你用「慈悲之心、感恩之心」面對生活的時候,我們也就擁有了包容力、吸引力,情感生活也一定會變得更好、更圓滿、更幸福。
.
你也想增強自己「生命的磁場」,讓自己的生活、工作更加如意嗎?
讓我們在本週六一起來探討《什麼是佛》吧。
祝福朋友們的生命,都能變得更有魅力、吉祥如意!

讚是一種鼓勵,分享是最好的支持。

Self-improvement – Law of attraction
.
As mentioned in Confucian Analects: “The virtuous are not left alone.”
As early as 2,500 years ago, Confucius said, “Those who are virtuous will not be lonely.”
.
A couple of years ago, there was a lady whose marriage was on the rocks as she faced tense relationship with her husband. No matter what happened, she would blame it on her husband and she was on the verge of divorcing her husband. She tried hard to find solutions to her marriage problems but to no avail.
.
Later, through a friend’s introduction, she joined Bodhi Meditation class. Upon the completion of her class, she was so excited and shared with this dharma sister, “I have found the solution, I am not getting a divorce.”
She continued, “Initially, I thought my husband was the one to blame for our marital problems. Now I realized I was the one at fault. I didn’t really give him the wife’s love and support. I’m not getting a divorce. I will try to mend our relationship. ”
.
When we have compassion and gratitude in daily lives, we become more tolerant and attractive. We will have more fulfilling and happy relationships with others.
.
Do you want to strengthen your “magnetic field of life” and make your life and work more pleasant?
Let’s explore “What is Buddha” this Saturday.
Wishing all becoming more attractive and auspicious!
“Like” is a form of encouragement; share is a form of support.
More sharing, more blessings!

2018年_圓滿的開始
.
在2018年的第一天是非常重要的,如果這一天能得到神靈,佛菩薩加持、護佑的話,一年都會順利、健康,並且遇難呈祥。
.
還有,在類似重要的節日裡,咱們在佛菩薩面前點燈、祈願、念佛,或是做一件善事,持有慈悲的心情,都是特別吉祥、極其靈驗的,也會對我們的命運有所幫助。
.
在「元旦」這一天,我為大家點燃了百盞滿願燈,願一燈燃百燈,百燈燃燈千千萬。
願佛光照亮整個世界,讓佛光通過我們的真誠和恭敬,再傳遞出去,照遍大千世界,照亮每個人的前方和未來。
.
最後希望大家和我一起,為這個世界祈願、祝福…
.
希望世界和平,沒有戰爭!
人人都有飯吃,人人都有工作!
人人都會幸福,人人都很善良!我也很善良!
我用最恭敬的心,與藥師佛溝通(藥師佛心咒……)
.
願..
每個人都有自己珍愛的工作!
所有的疾病都消失!
每個人都有錢花!
每個人都能自在吉祥!

2018 – The beginning of success
.
The first day of 2018 is very important. On this day, if one obtains the blessings and protection of the Divine, the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, it will be a smooth and healthy year, when auspiciousness overcome misfortunes.
.
Also, in similarly important festivals, when we offer lights, pray for blessings, and venerate before the Buddha and Bodhisattvas, or perform a good deed, cultivating the feeling of compassion, we gain exceptional auspiciousness, highly efficacious, and meritorious outcomes to our life.
.
On this “New Year’s Day”, I lit hundreds of wish-fulfilling light on behalf of everyone. May each light bring forth illumination to hundreds of lights, that spread to yet more thousands and millions of lights.
May the Buddha’s illumination irradiate the entire universe, and may this Illumination – through our sincerity and respect – propagate, like a beacon through the multiverse, and kindle everyone’s paths, including their future.
.
Finally, I hope everyone can join me in praying for this world and wish…
.
May there be world peace and no war!
Everyone has food and a job!
Everyone is happy and kind! I am also a kind person!
With my most respectful heart, I communicate with the Medicine Buddha (Medicine Buddha mantra …)
.
May…
Everyone has their own cherished job!
All the diseases gone!
Everyone has money to spend!
Everyone be at ease and enjoy good luck!
.

必需與貪執 . . 是需要還是想要? 『…

必需與貪執
.
.
是需要還是想要?
『需要』是生命的必需;『想要』是來自於一種慾望,是『貪執』。

比如說:當你肚子餓了吃飯是『需要』,你選擇了吃炸雞是『想要』。
你買衣服是『需要』,但是衣櫃裡的衣服,已經多到幾個星期都穿不完,你說還是缺少一件花衣服的,這是『想要』是『貪執』。
.
人的『必需』是有限的,而『想要』則可以無窮盡。
當『想要』總是超過『需要』,你把時間和精神全投資在『想要』的事物(貪執)上,又哪來多餘的精力去滿足真正的『需要』(身體健康)呢?
.
想想…究竟什麼是你生命必需的,還是想要的?衡量二者的標準又是什麼呢?請點擊下方視頻,聽聽我的說法吧。。。

Necessity and greed
.
What is “need” and “want”?
“Need” refers to the necessity of life; “want” comes from desire, and is “greed”.
For example: To eat when you are hungry is to fulfill a “need”, if you choose to eat fried chicken, that becomes a “want”. Buying clothes is a “need”, but if you complain you lack certain designs despite your wardrobe being packed with clothes that outlast more than a few weeks, this is a “want”; a form of “greed.”
.
Man’s “necessities” are limited, yet our “wants” can be without limits.
When our “wants” are always exceeding our “needs”, we invest significant time and energy resources in material “wants” 「due to greed obsession」, how then do we summon extra energy to meet our real “needs” 「that is health」?
.
Do give this some thought … what exactly is “necessary” in your life, and what actually are your “wants”? What are your criteria for assessing these two factors? Please click on the video link below to hear my view …

You are most welcome to share; you reap bountiful blessings as you share!!

《實錄》觀音靈感記_之三 . . 千百年…

《實錄》觀音靈感記_之三
.
.
千百年以來,幾乎所有的人、動物,在逢遇苦難,挫折的時候,第一個想到的一定是「母親」;所喊出的,也是「媽媽!」因為「母親」永遠是全心全意,在保護、守衛著她的孩子。而觀音菩薩就像是「母親」一樣,在我們的生命路上,一路陪伴、永遠照顧著我們,有個弟子給我發來一個他的真實故事,和大家分享分享。

稱念觀音菩薩聖號靈感實錄
.
師父好!我是一個很愛釣魚的人,叫_見懺(化名),釣魚一直是我假期的休閒活動。
.
一天, 我又找了幾個好朋友去釣魚,這天似乎成果不錯,很快地釣鉤就被沉沉的東西給拖住,我使盡力氣還是扯不上來,一瞧竟是條近百磅的大魚,我太興奮了,馬上吆喝三五好友一起將大魚扯上岸,大魚上來後,我用手去脫魚顎骨上的鉤子,沒想到一個恍神,在魚鉤脫出的同時,竟也插進我的手骨裡,疼得我哇哇大叫。
.
因為鉤子深深的貫穿手指骨,根本無法取下來,只能用剪刀將魚線剪斷,一但被人輕輕碰觸,那撕心裂肺的疼痛感,疼得我淚流滿面,看著手指漸漸腫脹發青、變黑,不知怎地我頭開始發暈,我開始著急了,就怕時間拖了就要變成殘疾的人。
.
我想了想,這兒離鎮上醫院少說也好幾百公里,我們又是走路來的,朋友們都不知如何是好,這一趟,正好跟來一個小女孩,她突然說:「奶奶每天都會在佛前,誦念觀音菩薩聖號,奶奶說菩薩會保佑大家。不如我們就求觀音菩薩吧!」
.
因為打電話求救兵,少說也需要一段時間,大家看我疼得狠,就一起開始為我誦念「南無大慈大悲救苦救難觀世音菩薩」佛號,念了幾分鐘,傷口竟漸漸的不疼了,也開始慢慢消腫,頭也不暈忽了,看來發炎該是控制住了。
.
好不容易的等來了朋友的車,我們馬上飛奔醫院手術,朦朧之中,看到菩薩在眼前。很快,醫生就順利將魚勾取出,保住了我的一根手指。醫生並告訴我:如果不是之前變黑的症狀減輕,手指是很有危險、可能保不住的。這時我越發相信,這一切全是「觀世音菩薩」的護佑。
.
經過這次事件,我也開始懺悔自己為什麼要釣魚呢?
.
我不過被魚鉤鉤住手指,就疼到淚流滿面,不能被人輕輕碰觸,一碰觸就要疼得我失去理智大叫,更何況是魚兒的嘴上被鉤住,還要被用力拉扯呢?牠與我們無冤無仇啊,牠也想要活命,會覺得疼。
.
從此我發願不再釣魚,也將釣具全部丟掉。
雖然這是一則極簡短的故事,也是我替魚兒的伸冤與告白,也許這是我唯一懺悔能做的事了。

讚是一種鼓勵,分享是最好的支持。

Guanyin inspiration true story – Part 3
.
Through the ages, whenever animals or human beings meet obstacles and setbacks, they would immediately think of their 「mothers」 and cry out to them. This is because mothers love and protect their children wholeheartedly for their entire lives. Guanyin Bodhisattva is just like our mother, she accompanies and takes care of us throughout our entire lives. A disciple sent me his real life encounter which I would like to share with all.
—————————————————————————
Chanting the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva inspiration true story
.
Dear master, I am a person who loves fishing. My name is Jianchan (a pseudonym). Fishing has been my vacation leisure activity.
.
One day, I went fishing with a few friends. We managed to get quite a good catch and very soon, I felt something heavy pulling at my fishing rod. Though I attempted to pull up the fishing rod using all my strength, I failed. Catching a glimpse, I was very excited to see a 100 pounds fish at the end of my fishing rod. I was so excited and asked all my friends over to help haul the big fish to shore. When I was removing the fish hook from the jawbone of the fish, my hand was pricked accidentally. It was so painful that I could only cry out in pain.
.
Since the hook was stuck in my finger bone very deeply, I could not remove it entirely and could only cut off the fishing threads using scissors. However the moment someone touched the affected area accidentally, the pain felt overwhelmingly bad. My fingers started to turn green and then black and I became very dizzy. I began to fear that I may become physically disabled if not treated on time.
.
As the nearest hospital was a few hundred kilometers away and we came by foot, my friends and I were at a loss. One young girl who happened to join us for this fishing expedition suddenly blurted : “My granny chants the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva daily. She says Guanyin Bodhisattva will bless our family. Why don’t we seek Guanyin Bodhisattva’s help?”
.
As calling for external help required some waiting time and I was suffering from intense pain, everyone started to chant the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva for me. After a few minutes, my hand no longer felt so painful, the swelling subsided and my head no longer spun. Apparently the side effects of the infection were under control for the moment.
.
When my friend came to pick us up eventually, we headed straight to the hospital for the surgery. During the process, I seemed to see Guanyin Bodhisattva appearing before me. Soon, the doctor successfully removed the fishhook from my finger and fortunately, I got to keep my finger. The doctor told me that if the symptoms of blackening of my finger had not been reduced, it would have been dangerous and I could have lost my finger. Revelation struck me. Chanting the name of Guanyin Bodhisattva was miraculously efficacious.
.
I was only pricked by a fishhook and this brought me unbearable pain. It was so bad that I could not control my tears. The moment someone accidentally touched the wounded area, I would lose all senses and started screaming. What about the poor fishes? Not only were their mouths hooked, they were pulled up by their wounded area. There were no grudges between the fishes and me. All they wanted was to live their lives; similarly, they would also experience pain.
.
After this incident, I repented over my fishing habits.
Since then, I made a vow never to fish again. To reinforce my intention, I threw away my fishing tackle.
Though this is just a simple story, it helps to redress the fishes’ grievances and is perhaps the only form of repentance I can make.
Like is an encouragement, Share is the best form of support.
Please feel free to share the post. The more you share, the more blessings you receive!!

【壹月】一次微笑一條路,一句讚美能開山 …

【壹月】一次微笑一條路,一句讚美能開山
.
.
想要擁有幸福快樂的生活,就要不吝惜讚美。
.
少一份責備,多一份讚美,就有好日子過了。人都喜歡聽好話,透過讚美達到激勵的效果,這是非常高明的手段。多給他人一點讚美,不僅對方快樂,你自己也會快樂。可能因為我們的一句讚美,一個孩子就能成就非凡精彩的一生。
.
用微笑去征服世界。將微笑送給他人,原諒別人的過錯、原諒別人帶給我的煩惱,因為我們可能也帶給他煩惱了;原諒我們的仇人,一切結的仇都是因為無知無明。
.
今天的我最慈悲、最寬容,像大海一樣能夠接納一切。經常保持微笑和平靜,以一個好的心態來把握現在,創造未來。
.
讚美、微笑,我們既是付出者,也是受益者,為別人帶來幸福美好的生活,也將為自己創造幸福美好的未來。

[January] A smile will open doors, a praise will level mountains
If we want our lives to be filled with happiness and joy, we ought to be generous with our praises.

A good life is possible when there are more praises and less criticisms. Everybody likes to be praised. The ability to motivate people through praises is a very powerful skill. Praises not only make the recipient happy, they make us feel good as well. A word of praise may inspire a child to create a remarkable future for himself or herself.

Let us conquer the world with our smiles. As we smile at others, let us forgive them for the wrongs that they did to us, and for the troubles that they brought us. We need to understand that we might have caused them troubles too. Let us learn to forgive our enemies, as the reason that they hurt us is due to ignorance.

Today, I am the most compassionate and the most tolerant; like the ocean, I can embrace everything. As I aspire to keep a smile on my face and peace in my heart, I will live in the present and create the future with a positive mindset.

As we give out smiles and praises, we will receive benefits as well. Even as we bring forth happiness and joy in other people’s lives, we will be creating happiness and joy in our own futures.
