食以養心
.
你相信廚師的心情會影響到他烹調的食物、進而影響食客嗎？韓國寺廟飲食界的代表大師，靜觀師太相信：用平和的心境做出的齋飯，也能讓吃齋的人感到寧靜與平和。她17歲出家，幾十年來一直堅持親手做齋飯。後來開始向大眾推廣和教授素食烹飪，希望更多的人吃得健康。
.
她認為自己不僅僅是在做飯，更是在用一顆平靜的心修練自我、感悟生活。一簞食，一壺漿，一點一滴裡追尋最簡單、自然、真實的本味。年復一年，日復一日，在每一餐中享受人生彌足珍貴的快樂與圓滿。

恭敬不如孝敬 孝敬不如行動 . 傳說中，…
恭敬不如孝敬 孝敬不如行動
.
傳說中，在烏鴉小的時侯，都是由烏鴉媽媽出去尋找食物，不管找回來的食物有多少，一定會先餵飽孩子，即使自己餓著肚子也沒關係。漸漸地，小烏鴉長大了，烏鴉媽媽也已經老了，飛不動了，沒有體力再飛出去尋找食物了。這時，長大的小烏鴉會學著媽媽當年哺育牠一樣，也每天飛出去尋找食物，再回來一口一口餵給媽媽吃，照顧老烏鴉，直到老烏鴉自然死亡後。這就是「烏鴉反哺」的故事。
.
想想這一生，父親、母親對我們的好，給予我們的關心和照顧有多少？有的人說：「我也送過禮物給雙親啊！」但是，和他們對我的養育之恩、他們的寬容大度、不求回報的愛相比，實在太渺小了。
.
這一天，咱們能做的，就是給予雙親更多的陪伴，為父親念佛、為母親念佛，祈願他們都能夠身體健康、幸福快樂。所以，我也希望大家能有所領悟，希望你們能想一想曾為父母親做過些什麼呢？還能為她們盡些心力的、能給予陪伴的，就趕快去做吧！！
.
需明白…
樹欲靜而風不止，子欲養而親不待。。。
.
在臨近母親節的吉祥日子裡，祝福大家：
闔家幸福、健康、幸福、快樂！！
.
.
*據記載，「反哺」是烏鴉的習性。《本草綱目》中稱烏鴉為慈鳥，此鳥出生，母哺60日，長者反哺60日，可謂慈孝。後來人們便將反哺，比做子女孝敬父母最佳的典範。

It is not sufficient to just be respectful or filial to our parents, rather it is how we treat them that is most important
Legend has it that mother crows are the ones who search for food for their babies. When they return, they will always feed the babies first regardless of how little food they find, even if it means that they themselves will have to go hungry. Eventually, under such tender care, the babies grow up into sturdy adults. By then, the mother crows are old and can no longer fly. They do not have the strength to fly out to look for food any more. This is when their children reciprocate what their mothers used to do for them and go out in search for food. When they return, they will feed their mothers patiently. This happens every day until the mama crows pass away. This is the story of the “Filial crows feeding the parents.”
Think of what our parents have done for us and think of the care and concern that they have showered on us. Some people think that the presents that they bought for their parents are sufficient repayment. But if you compare that to the unconditional love and tolerance that they have given us, you will understand that it is clearly not enough. Not to forget everything else that they have gone through in order to bring us up,
Instead of showering our parents with material goods, let us spend more time with them. Let us pray for them and seek Buddha’s blessings of health, happiness and good fortune for them. I hope to inspire all of you to reflect on what you have done for your parents lately. While we still have the opportunity, let us spend more time with them and help them with what they need.
Consider this Chinese saying…
“The trees would like to remain still but the winds will not stop;
The children would like to care for their parents but the parents are no longer around…”
As Mother’s Day approaches, I wish that you and your family will be blessed with happiness, good health and joy!
*According to records, it is the crows’ custom to reciprocate and feed their parents when they are old. In the classic volume “Compendium of Materia Medica”, crows are called “birds of compassion”. From the time the baby is born, its mother feeds it for 60 days. When the mother is old, its offspring also feeds it for 60 days. The filialness of the crows makes them role models for us in how we ought to treat our parents.

泰國東北部的烏隆他尼府，有一座紅蓮湖，被美國有線電視新聞網評選為世界十大奇湖之一。每年的11月份至3月份，湖中幾千英畝、數以萬計的紅蓮競相綻放，形成一大片紅蓮花海，讓人盡情欣賞「接天蓮葉無窮碧，映日荷花別樣紅」的無限美景。

蓑衣黃瓜，重點就在刀法刀功上，只要會切，就能把普普通通的黃瓜，做出「高大上」的品相，用來點綴節日餐桌，清新、爽口又好看。
.
切蓑衣黃瓜是有技巧的：在黃瓜的兩側分別放一根筷子，先用直刀，筆直地切下去，切到筷子處停止，細細密密地連續下去，每一片要薄厚一致。從頭切到尾後，把黃瓜翻過面來，再用45度的斜刀切下去，依舊是到筷子處停刀，切密、切均勻。切好後，一根10釐米的黃瓜能變成30釐米長，然後小心的擺在盤中，根據個人口味，澆上自己喜歡的調味汁，也可以再淋上花椒油，最後再用彩椒絲做裝飾。大家做好了，可以發圖展示一下。

【週六網路共修】_面對生活

如何讓身心獲得自然的養分？！
.
很多時候，我們需要回歸自然，去接受大自然的養份。
有一次，我坐在公園的草坪上，地上有土和沙子。就有弟子過來說：「師父，給您墊個墊子，地上髒。」到了沙灘，又說：「師父，給您拿個墊子，沙子不乾淨。」我說：「土和沙子怎麼就髒了？」
.
其實，你看驢、馬、牛等幹體力活兒的動物，在累了之後，會做的動作就是在地上來回翻滾、有的還要叫兩聲，我們稱之為「驢打滾」。牠們在打滾的時候，是將脊背貼近大地，在來回翻轉的過程中，後面脊椎處的肌肉也就放鬆了；同時也在接收著大地包括這些土壤、沙子、水分的能量。
.
人類是否也需要這樣呢？
其實，人類自然的反應是，疲勞時喜歡到有土、沙子或水的自然環境中坐下來，躺一躺，或在草地上翻滾，這是非常使人放鬆的。尤其是孩子們，是很有靈性的，他在地上滾來滾去地玩，其實是在排病；去踩沙子，是為了和沙子接觸；去踏海水，是為了吸收海水的能量。這些，都是獲得健康的一種自然反應。但是當人漸漸地長大，考慮到身分和尊嚴，就再也不敢這麼做了。
.
那麼，我們要如何才能回歸自然的「健康之道」呢？
歡迎在本週六，大家和我一起來探討如何正確《面對生活》。
.
祝福大家更健康、更快樂！
歡迎分享，多傳多福！

【Saturday Online Global Group Practice】 Facing Life
How do we nourish our body and mind with Nature’s nutrients?
As humans, we need to connect with Nature regularly to nourish ourselves with her nutrients.
Once I went to a park with a few of my disciples. When I sat down on the lawn, a fellow disciple came to me and said,“Master, let me give you a cushion as the ground is dirty.” Later on, when we were at the beach, the same disciple said, “Master, here is the cushion, the sand is not clean.” I asked. “How are the soil and sand dirty?”
In fact, if you look at donkeys, horses, cows and other work animals, they usually roll on the ground when tired. When they roll, they move their backs close to the earth, and in the process of flipping back and forth, the spinal muscles relax, and they receive the energy from the earth, sand and water.
Is this what humans need?
As humans, our natural response is to sit down in a natural environment with soil, sand or water when we are tired. Some people, especially children, may even roll around on the grass to play. Children are more in tune with their spiritual self than adults. As they roll, diseases are actually being expelled from their bodies. Children also love to step on the sand and soak their feet in sea water. All these are instinctive actions that they take to gain good health. As the children grow older, however, they become more conscious of their self-image and identity, and they never dare to do so again.
So how do we get onto the “Path of good health” offered by Nature?
I welcome all of you to join me in the discussion this Saturday, on how we can “Face Life”.
May all of you be healthier and happier!
Feel free to share this post.
More sharing, more blessings!

助人為樂成就非凡人生！
.
因為不同的成長環境，造就了人們不同的性格差異，有的人天生樂觀、有的膽怯懦弱，而不同的人生觀，也造就了不同的生命風貌，那麼已經定型的生命風貌有沒有可能改變呢?看看下面這個真實的故事吧。
————————————————————————————————————–
助人為樂成就非凡人生！
.
我從2013年初開始，經常會頭痛，一痛就得服用止痛藥，我知道我的頭痛可能與我的生活習慣有關，因為我每天很晚大約11點才洗澡洗頭，頭髮沒有吹乾就躺在床上玩平板電腦，時常因此玩到凌晨3、4點才睡覺。
.
同年9月中，我到新加坡參加了8天半的建身班，課程到了第6天，我發現頭竟然不痛了，之後偶爾睡得少時，頭也只是微微不舒服，但再也不需要服藥了。
.
我的獲益不僅是頭痛好了，學習禪修前，我的性格有些急躁，非常缺少耐性，每次母親說我不是時我都會不高興。禪修之後，金菩提宗師的慈悲大愛讓我變得柔軟，我開始明白要怎樣做一個善良、柔軟的人。所以我改變自己的態度，試著更溫柔、耐心地與家人、朋友交流，有時即便是受到母親的責備，也能夠心平氣和地聆聽，母親見我不再和她吵嘴，也漸漸的不再用責備的語氣和我溝通，我們母女倆的感情因此更好了，和母親的心也更貼近了。
.
現在，我也加入了雅加達禪堂志工團隊，學習去散播愛和溫暖給更多的人，漸漸地我變得越來越自信，敢於在大眾面前說話了，這樣的改變，是我從不知道的自己，原來自卑的我也可以如此閃耀。

Leading an Extraordinary Life and Gaining Happiness by Helping Others
Depending on the environment one grew up in, people develop different personalities. Some are more optimistic, while others tend to be timid and weak, and the different views they hold about life will also create different ways of living. Thus, is it possible to change the predetermined (is this ok?) way of life? Below is a real life story.
——————————————————————
Have a fulfilling life helping others!
I started having frequent headaches in 2013 and had to be on painkillers. I knew that the frequent headaches were probably due to my lifestyle. During then, I would wash my hair late in the night at around 11pm, and laid in bed with my wet hair as I played with my tablet till 3 to 4am before dozing off.
In September 2013, I attended the 8.5 Day Health and Happiness Retreat in Singapore. On the 6th day of the class, my headache was gone. Thereafter, I only get occasional headaches due to lack of sleep, but did not need to take painkillers anymore.
I have also received other benefits through meditation besides getting rid of my frequent headaches. I used to be very impatient and would be unhappy whenever my mother said something that upset me. All these changed after learning meditation and receiving Grandmaster JinBodhi’s all compassionate love. I became kind and gentle towards my family and friends. Occasionally, whenever my mum scolded me, I was able to listen to her calmly. Upon seeing the change in me, my mother also started to be less harsh with me and our relationship improved as we grew closer.
Now I am a volunteer in the Bodhi Meditation Center in Jakarta, Indonesia, learning to spread the love and warmth that I’ve received to more people. Gradually, I am gaining more self confidence and am not afraid to speak in front of large groups. Little did I expect that the inferior me can also shine like the person I have become now.
(Note: The effect of meditation may vary for different individuals.). *Bodhi Meditation does not advocate self-discontinuation or drug reduction. Please follow medical advice.
