清明祭祖 懷思感恩
.
4月是懷思、感恩先祖的季節，清明節這一天，為祖先們「點燈祈福｣，是對祖先、對自己，以及子孫們最好的方法。
.
當祖先，親人得到佛光加持，轉生極樂，一定也會為後代子孫帶來庇蔭与光明，增添福慧。所以，有空就到禪堂走走，為你的祖先點燈祈福，念佛，可以為他們消業積德，讓身處黑暗世界的祖宗、親人得到佛光接引，轉生極樂。同時，也為自己和子孫後代帶來光明，讓自己及後代子孫同享福慧。
.
請在這個最佳的時節，去禪堂為祖先和親人點燃明燈，祝福大家！

Ching Ming Festival: To commemorate and show gratitude to ancestors.
During Ching Ming festival (early April in the Greogorian calendar), the best way to commemorate and show gratitude to our ancestors is to offer lights to them in front of the Buddha and pray for blessings for them. This is also good for ourselves, our children and grandchildren.
When our ancestors and relatives are blessed by the Buddha light and reborn to a blissful state, the future generations will also be protected, blessed and enjoy good fortune and wisdom. Therefore, do visit the Meditation Center whenever you are available to offer light to your ancestors, pray for blessing and chant. Chanting can help them eradicate karmic debts and accumulate merits. Let the Buddha’s light guide those ancestors who are wandering in darkness to reborn to Pure Land. At the same time, this brings illumination to you and your descendants, enjoying the good fortune and wisdom together.
Do take the opportunity of this duration to offer light to your ancestors and relatives. Blessings to all of you!

春季飲食的智慧——三月三薺菜賽靈丹
.
春到人間，草木先知。立春前後發出的野菜嫩芽，既積蓄了整個冬天的能量，又帶著立春一陽初生的活力，可以說是陰陽並濟，能幫助化解腸胃殘留的濁熱，注入新的生命活力。
.
《黃帝內經》：「冬傷於寒，春必病溫。」提到在冬天受了凍，如果沒有及時化解，寒氣會深入體內潛伏下來。到了春天，陽氣升發，這些潛伏的寒氣發作起來，寒極生熱，就會容易引發流感。為了防止伏寒化熱，春季進補忌用大辛大熱的藥物。薺菜性平，能祛寒，卻不會引起內火；能祛熱，卻不會導致寒涼傷身，所以在春季特別適合食用薺菜。
.
農曆三月三薺菜賽靈丹由來──
傳說三月三華陀曾到沔城採藥，偶遇大雨，到一民宅中避雨，見民宅老者患頭痛頭暈症，痛苦難耐。華佗替老者診斷後，採了一把薺菜取汁煮雞蛋給老者服用。老者照此方法服用數次，病即痊癒。後來此事傳開，人人仿效，在農曆的三月三煮薺菜雞蛋湯的習俗也就流傳了下來。
.
薺菜又名護生草、雞心菜、地菜。清炒、涼拌皆可，但更多的是做湯、做餡兒。今年的三月三是國曆3月30日，推薦大家在這個時節吃上一碗「薺菜雞蛋湯」，清熱降壓、養血安神，材料與作法如下。
.
材料──
1. 薺菜一把
2. 紫菜一片(手掌大小)
3. 雞蛋一個
4. 鹽適量
5. 香油適量
.
作法──
1. 薺菜摘好，洗淨，切成2釐米左右的小段，紫菜一小片在水中泡好，雞蛋一個打散。
2. 鍋內放適量水，燒開後，放入薺菜、紫菜，1分鐘後倒入攪好的雞蛋液，關火後，撒少許鹽，滴幾滴香油，即可食用。

#春季養生、#薺菜、#三月三、#皇帝內經rnrn[Wisdom of traditional spring diet –”Sanyuesan” festival (third day of the lunar third month) —
Shepherd’s purse is good as a panacea]
As if knowing what is soon to come, the plants and trees start to bud and blossom as spring arrives. At the start of spring, wild herbs proliferate, releasing the energy accumulated through the winter. The spring also brings along fresh energy. This can be described as a combination of yin and yang strength, which can clear the turbid heat that remains in the digestive system and inject new vitality into life.
《The Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine》: Illness from cold in the winter invariably results in warm disease in spring. When a person has a cold during winter and does not fully recover, the chill can remain dormant in the body. In spring as the weather begins to warm, this hidden infection may then flare up. Extremes of cold generates heat. As a result, influenza may arise. To prevent this dormant winter chill from eventually turning into heat in spring, one needs to take herbal tonic to enhance the health and strength. One should also avoid spicy and heaty Chinese medicine. Shepherd’s purse is mild in nature. It dispels cold yet does not cause any heatiness. Its cooling effects suppress heat, yet will not cause a chill. Therefore, Shepherd’s purse is a very appropriate herb to take during spring time.
Origin of taking Shepherd’s Purse as a panacea during the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month
There is a legend that on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month, Hua Tuo (an ancient Chinese physician from the Eastern Han period) had gone to Miancheng to gather medicinal herbs. Caught in a sudden downpour, he went to a villager’s shed to take shelter from the rain. He observed that an old man in the house was suffering miserably from headache and dizziness. After making a diagnosis, Hua Tuo collected one handful of shepherd’s purse, extracted the juice and boiled it with eggs. He then passed the medicine to the old man to take. After taking the medicine a few times using the same method of preparation, the old man fully recovered. News spread and other people repeated the same preparation. From then on, this preparation of shepherd’s purse with egg soup on the 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month was handed down for generations.
Shepherd’s purse is also known as capsella bursa-pastoris. It can be plain-fried, taken cold with sauce dressing, or commonly made into soup or as stuffing for dumplings. This year, 3rd day of the 3rd lunar month falls on 30th March on the Gregorian calendar. It is recommended that during this time, everyone should eat a bowl of shepherd’s purse egg soup, for its cooling effect, lowering of blood pressure, nourishing the blood and its calming effect. The ingredients and methods of preparation are as follows.
Ingredients:
1. a handful of shepherd’s purse
2. one piece of seaweed (size of a palm)
3. an egg
4. salt for taste
5. appropriate amount of sesame oil
Method:
1. Pluck the shepherd’s purse leaves, wash clean and cut into 2mm sections.
Boil seaweed in the water, break an egg and stir it.
OR
2. Pour appropriate amount of water into a pot to boil. Put in the shepherd’s purse and seaweed. One minute later, add the stirred egg into the pot. Then, turn off heat.
Add a pinch of salt and a few drops of sesame oil. The soup is now ready for consumption.

學謙讓

行不去處，須知退一步之法；
行得去處，務加讓三分之功。—《菜根譚》
.
安徽桐城有一條街，叫做六尺巷。怎麼叫六尺巷呢？
聽說清朝初年，桐城有個張家，三代都是宰相，卻為了蓋房子爭土地。隔壁鄰居說這個地是我的，這個宰相也說這個地是我的，為了這塊三尺地爭得面紅耳赤，最後打上官司。
因為張家是宰相之家，不怕打官司，宰相讓管家趕快寫封信到京城裡頭，給縣長講一定要判我們贏。
.
當縣長接到這封信，看完。在信上批了幾個字寄回：「千里求書為道牆，讓他三尺又何妨？長城萬里今猶在，誰見當年秦始皇？」
宰相看完這封信，決定不打官司了，趕快讓出來三尺，表示自己的氣度，對方也不好意思的退三尺，這件事圓滿了。所以才傳留下來了「六尺巷」的美談。
.
因此，待人寬一分是福，利人其實是利己，天底下的智慧，謙讓的方便之門其實是靠你的智慧來完成。

Cultivating humility
When one’s path is obstacle-laden, one needs to put humility at the fore;
When one’s path is smooth, one needs to work three times harder at humility.
.
The above is one of the aphorisms from the book Caigentan that urged for cultivation of humility toward all, in times of adversity and even more so in times of fortune.
.
Ever heard of the Six Feet Lane in Tongcheng, Anhui, and wondered about its beginnings?
During the Qing dynasty, there was an illustrious Zhang family, whose patriarchs served as Prime Ministers for three generations. This family disputed with his neighbor over the surrounding land in order to build his villa. Neither side was prepared to give way over the three feet border of land. The situation escalated to the Judicial Court.
.
The Zhang family, being senior officials, was not afraid of the lawsuit. Prime Minister Zhang had his aide reach out in a letter to the county head in the Capital to pass the judgement in favor of the Zhang family.
.
Having received and read the letter, the county head responded cryptically, “… if you can reach out over thousands of miles to seek a favor, is it too much to give up a three feet wide space? The thousand-mile glorious Great Wall is clear for all to see, yet how many have any idea how its originator Emperor Qin look like?”
.
Upon reading the response, Prime Minister Zhang immediately stopped pursuing the case, and offered the three feet wide space to his neighbor as a gesture of magnanimity. The neighbor, surprised by the change of heart, reciprocated by giving up another three feet of space, bringing the matter to rest. This story thereafter came to be known as the “Six Feet Lane” legend.
.
Another tale involved a Prince Guo Ziyi《郭子仪》during the Tang dynasty. Emerging victorious from a battle and in celebratory spirits, the Prince wanted to build a villa and decided to supervise its construction. He would constantly remind the workers to perform and not fail in their mission. The workers, tired of the incessant badgering, took to reassure the Prince that his family of three generations in Chang’an had been specializing in masonry work. In fact, they had constructed countless villas and never had one collapsed. The houses had also outlasted several owners! From that instance, Prince Guo stopped hassling the workers.
.
Through these simple yet philosophical occurrences, Prime Minister Zhang and Prince Guo learnt their lessons in humility.
Humility is a great virtue; when one takes the first step towards humility by giving way and giving selflessly, one benefits and gains greater wisdom.

【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!

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。

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.

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！
