【一場春雨,一壺春茶】
.
4月20日進入穀雨節氣,這是春天的最後一個節氣,寒潮天氣基本告終,氣溫快速回升,很少再忽冷忽熱,空氣濕潤,雨量充沛,非常有利於農作物生長。因此古人有「雨生百穀」的說法。
.
「沾衣欲濕杏花雨、吹面不寒楊柳風」,在溫暖的天氣外出賞花,心情格外大好。可是有的人最怕過敏,春天也正是皮膚容易過敏的季節。《紅樓夢》有一回也提到:春天的時候,大觀園裡的美女們都長了「杏斑癬」,要擦「薔薇硝」。這當然是小說故事,但其實皮膚過敏是跟身體免疫力差有關,古代的太太、小姐們肢體活動量少,體質差可想而知,可惜當時沒人教她們走八卦;想要提升能量,在春天時,不妨找上三五好友一同晨起走八卦,強身健體,鍛鍊體能。
.
愛喝茶的茶友們自然不能錯過「穀雨茶」,茶樹經過冬季數月的休養生息,萌發的芽葉肥碩、翠綠、柔軟,富含多種氨基酸和維生素,滋味鮮活,香氣柔美。中國古代飲茶專著《茶疏》說:「清明太早,立夏太遲,穀雨前後,其時適中。」近幾年中國有些地方開始興起的「全民飲茶日」就選定在穀雨節氣,足見穀雨茶之重要。穀雨時節還等什麼?走!我們一起泡茶去。

【天地有情,生養萬物!】 . . 很多年…

【天地有情,生養萬物!】
.
.
很多年前,有一部日本的影片,內容在追蹤拍攝一個狼群的家庭。
.
這群狼生活的地區 ,附近有一些獵戶根本不出門打獵,就在自己家裡養了一些雞,和羊讓狼知道,並且設下了不少的捕獸夾和陷阱要來捕捉狼。狼心中可是一清二楚。別看狼是動物,其實牠什麼都知道,某些時候比人還聰明。
.
在一個下著大雪的冬天,大雪封山,有個狼爸爸的小狼崽得病了,奄奄一息,沒有食物。那個狼爸爸,就在獵戶家門外徘徊了幾個小時,你可以看得出牠的身體語言:「哎呀,我知道危險重重,我不能往前踏一步。」那個爪子拿起來,落,不能落,來回溜躂溜躂,反復徘徊徘徊。
.
最後想想牠的狼孩子那種痛苦和饑餓,狼兩行眼淚流出來了,開始小心翼翼地往前走。牠進去不是自殺,只是希望把那只雞偷出來餵牠的孩子。結果雞是咬到了,往回衝的路上,因為找不到自己的腳印,慌不擇路,竟被一個大夾子給夾住了牠的一條後腿。牠拼命掙扎地把那條腿拽下來,其實,牠根本就不可能掙脫開那沉重的大夾子。牠的一條腿因此沒了,牠拼著最後一口氣用前腿爬著,爬回去,想著孩子還在家裡等著,可惜爬到半路失血過多就死了。
.
真是很感人的故事,很多動物我們雖不瞭解牠們,但誰能說只有人有情呢?
.
讓我們在本週六,一起來探討「慈悲的力量」吧!

【Love from Heaven and Earth, Birth and Nurtures All Life! 】

Many years ago, there was a Japanese film which tracked a family of wolves.

In that region where the wolves lived, some hunters did not go out hunting. Instead, they kept some chickens and sheep at home and let the wolves know about them. They then set up traps to capture the wolves. However, the wolves were aware of the trap. Do not view the wolf as just another animal. In fact, it knows everything. Sometimes it is smarter than people.

In a snow-covered winter where the snow was so heavy that it was impossible to leave the mountains, a father wolf had a sickly little wolf who was dying from hunger. The father wolf hesitated for a few hours outside the hunter’s house. You could read its body language: “Oh dear, I know that danger lies ahead. I can’t step forward.” He lifted up his paw wanting to take another step forward but did not, continuing to pace back and forth repeatedly.

Finally, when he thought about the pain and hunger of its little wolf, two lines of tears flowed out his eyes and he began to move forward with caution. His intention was not suicidal but to steal a chicken to feed his children. In the end, he managed to catch a chicken in its mouth. However, on the way back, because he couldn’t retrace his own footprints, he took a wrong step and his hind leg was caught in a big leghold trap. He struggled to free that leg. In fact, it is impossible to break away from that heavy grip. As a result, its leg broke on the trap. With his last breath, the wolf tried to crawl back on his forelegs while thinking of his child who was still waiting at home. Unfortunately, he died on the way back due to excessive blood lost.

It is a very touching story. Although we do not understand many animals, who are we to say that only people have feelings?

Let’s discuss “The Power of Compassion” this Saturday.
You are welcome to share or leave a message here. I wish everyone to be more fraternal and live a happier life!

矽谷新貴瘋養雞 _愛護動物 眾生平等 ….

矽谷新貴瘋養雞 _愛護動物 眾生平等
.
.
過去養雞似乎是鄉下地區才會從事的辛苦行業,但最近矽谷興起了一股養雞風潮,這些科技新貴們把養雞當成了一種「時尚」,他們用對待寵物的方式來養雞,不只打造高科技雞舍,還請專門獸醫,餵食新鮮生菜、有機西瓜,稱得上是過著超高級享受的生活了!
.
問問這些新貴為何要養雞,他們的理由是:「坐下來看動物是很有意思的一件事,因為你並不是看著螢幕,而是看著一個生命,這跟我平時工作完全不同。」原來這些新貴在冰冷的科技後面,還是有著一顆溫熱的心啊!
.
他們喜歡看著不同品種的雞生下不同顏色的蛋,並且研究不同雞種的個性,就跟貓狗這些寵物一樣,有些也有著冷靜、親人的特質,不過能玩得起這種養雞遊戲的,前提當然是經濟許可囉!畢竟不是每戶人家都能有院子和雞舍的!
.
有句話說:「要知道一個國家文不文明,看他們對待動物的態度就知道了!」
有陣子流行瘋養「電子雞」來當娛樂,現在這娛樂搬來現實生活了,誰說養雞就只能為了吃牠呢?只要是有生命的物體,不都值得這樣平等的對待與愛護嗎?
.
這些飼主們想當然爾是不吃雞肉的,也許他們的動機我們不得而知,但每個地球上的生命都有靈性,這點應該不難理解,也許幫這些雞兄弟姊妹平平反,重新思考如何正確對待動物,也不可不謂是好事一樁囉!

Backyard Chicken Rearing – A new status symbol in Silicon Valley- Caring for animals; All living things are equal
.
In the past, rearing chickens seems like a tough countryside job. However, the latest status symbol of Silicon Valley’s new tech elites is rearing chickens. These new tech elites have adopted chicken rearing as a trend. They create high-tech chicken coops and also engage veterinarians, feeding their chickens with fresh lettuce and organic watermelons. These chickens are living a super-premium life!
.
The reason quoted by these tech elites for rearing chickens is: “It is very interesting to sit down and look at animals because you are not looking at the screen but looking at a life. This is totally different from my usual job.” It turns out that these tech elites, who face icy technology still have a warm heart!
.
They like to watch different breeds of chickens give birth to different colored eggs, and study the personalities of different types of chickens. Just like cats and dogs, some of them also have calm or loving characteristics. However, not all can afford a chicken-rearing hobby. After all, it is only a hobby for the family which can afford to have big backyard and chicken coops!
.
There is a saying that goes: “You can tell how well-developed a country is by looking at their general attitude toward animals!” There was a time when people were crazy about the popular “electronic chickens” as a form of entertainment. Now this entertainment has moved into real life. Who says that chickens can only be reared in order to be eaten. As long as its a living thing, shouldn’t it be given equal treatment and love?
.
We would assume that these chicken breeders would abstain from eating chicken. Perhaps their motives are unknown to us. But every life on Earth has its spirituality. It is not a bad thing to help these chicken brothers and sisters to have a new lease of life and for us to rethink about the treatment of animals by humans!

工作再累也不怕了
.
根據【健康醫療網】調查,每兩個人當中,就有一個人為肩頸酸痛所苦,大部分的原因都是因為久坐辦公室,長時間在一個姿勢下,而且姿勢不正確,或因為緊張壓力大,工作速度快,長時間不換姿勢。最重要的問題是「缺乏運動」。
.
也因為現代的人們生活非常忙碌,實在沒有太多的時間好好兒運動,那麼有沒有簡單卻有效的運動法,能解決或紓解疼痛的方法呢?

答案是:「有的」
.
一起來聽聽禪修故事分享~
原來想要獲得健康、快樂,可以這麼簡單。

I am no longer afraid of an exhaustive working day.

According to the Medical Healthcare Network report, one out of two persons is vulnerable to shoulder-neck pain primarily due to long sitting hours in the office; maintaining the same posture or incorrect posture, or due to work stress, tight schedules and not shifting our prolonged sitting posture while working. The most detrimental factor is the lack of exercise.

Today, life is so busy that one hardly finds the time to exercise. So, is there a simple and yet effective way of exercise that ease and soothe the pain and ache?
Answer is Yes!

Let’s learn from the story.

【碧波蕩漾,涼拌菠菜】
.
《論語》中有一句話「不時不食」,意思是說,吃東西要遵時令、循季節,到什麼時候、吃什麼東西,當下這個季節裡大自然生產出來的食物,就是最養人的。春天萬物萌發,陽氣生長,也是人體精氣神升發之時。中醫理論中認為,肝主升發,春季主肝,而擅長養肝的菠菜正是盛產的時節,建議大家不妨適當吃一些。有網友推薦了一款涼拌豆皮菠菜,分享給大家。
.
材料: 菠菜、豆腐皮、蔥花、蒜末、香酥花生米、香菜、生抽(淡醬油)、鹽、橄欖油。(不食五辛者可不放蒜末、蔥花)
.
做法:
1、生抽(淡醬油)、鹽、橄欖油混在一起,配成調味汁待用;
2、菠菜下開水焯1分多鐘,撈出放涼水過一下,切段;
3、豆腐皮切絲,與菠菜同放在盤中;
4、倒入調味汁,加入蔥花、蒜末(可免),拌勻即成。

【整容改變面相,也能改變命運嗎】 . 我…

【整容改變面相,也能改變命運嗎】
.
我到了韓國,就有韓國同修問我一個非常難以回答的問題:「如果今天我們用人工的方法改變五官,有可能變好命嗎?」
.
大家說呢?如果你做了手術,矮鼻子變高了、小眼睛變大眼睛,這會不會改變命運?我估計也是有兩個結果的。
.
有一則新聞曾報導,一位女士因為割雙眼皮,手術失敗了,她的眼睛一下就變老了二十年。之後醫生又為她採取補救措施,結果很悲慘,做完之後毀容了。她需要用二十五年的時間打官司。當然我不知道她的命運本來是不是就是這樣,但她的人生真的就此改變了。
.
我還見過一個做音樂的藝術家,他年齡可能比我大十二歲,比我老很多。我們倆在一起的時候,如果只看臉他比我還年輕幾歲,但是不能細看,仔細看的時候發現他臉上好幾道刀口,都是美容後的痕跡。因為他本來長得也不差、又做了這麼多的保養,所以他變得很年輕。三、四年以後,他愛上了別的女人。可是生意是他太太打理,太太一生氣不管了,他買的那些設備都很貴,幾十萬美金,比如說60萬買來的,他太太一生氣5萬塊錢就賣掉了,賠得很慘。原配老婆跑了。他沒錢了,這年輕的姑娘也不理他了,他的家庭徹底瓦解了,三個孩子都不理他。
.
所以這個美容手術是否能改變命運,結果已經出來了,就是「不一定」。要想改變我們的命運,靠做手術沒有什麼作用。而是要有慈悲心生起,才有機會為自己的人生迎來光明與幸福。

父母必學的成功教養術!! . 一個同修來…

父母必學的成功教養術!!
.
一個同修來找我聊她兒子的問題:「師父,我有兩個孩子,女兒樣樣都好不用人操心,可是兒子今年14歲,明年就要考高中了,有時候我真的不知道該拿他怎麼辦才好!我跟先生都是名校畢業的,女兒也讀很好的學校,但兒子成績很糟糕,無論我給他請家教、送他去補習,可是成績就是拉不上來!我要他多跟他姐姐學習,他竟然說家裡沒溫暖,要我們不要管他,講他兩句就臭臉,真是氣死我了!這樣下去以後該怎麼辦呀?」
.
我問她:「妳別總看孩子不好的那一面,他成績不好,但總有什麼是好的吧?」
.
她說:「他就是喜歡跟幾個朋友玩什麼樂團,愛打爵士鼓。」
我說:「他知道自己喜歡什麼就很不錯了,很多孩子在這年紀還不知道自己喜歡什麼呢!他喜歡什麼就讓他去學什麼,何必非得執著考試分數?而且,妳要多鼓勵他、和他溝通,給他溫暖,不要老是責罵他,或是拿別的孩子跟他比,每個孩子都有自己的長處,誰喜歡總是被人比下去呢?」
.
這位同修聽了我的話,回家之後和她的兒子徹夜長談,鼓勵他大膽往自己的興趣發展,並且告訴他,不管成功還是失敗,家裡永遠是他的避風港。
.
這孩子跟爸媽聊完後也很高興,他告訴爸媽,雖然他決定要走音樂這條路,但他還是會認真把學業完成。而且他說到做到,即使把補習跟家教都退掉了,成績也沒有退步,還進步了,後來參加比賽拿了個獎,並且憑藉這個獎項申請上一間不錯的高中音樂班,專心學習音樂。
.
很多父母會認為孩子成績不好是件很嚴重的事,但其實成績好壞不代表未來成就的高低,也不是評斷孩子的唯一標準。所有父母都是愛著自己的兒女的,希望他們能夠變得更好,但是卻時常因為焦急而用錯了方法,導致和兒女的關係變得很緊張。這時候,做父母的應該靜下心來,換一種方式,用鼓勵取代責罰,好好跟子女溝通,畢竟是一家人,有什麼話不能好好說呢?
.
最後祝福大家:和父母、子女都能溝通順利,擁有美滿和諧的家庭關係。

【新視頻發布】_看破才能放下
.
.
放下,才能活在當下!
曾經,許多人都有過,在昨天、在去年、或者是更久之前,在心裡頭產生過一次或若干次「仇恨」這個概念。
.
當時恨對方恨得讓自己不能解脫,傷痛欲絕,甚至因此住了院;因為恨,你從此不再交朋友。但是現在想想你曾經的恨,今天還有嗎?如果今天還有恨,你所恨的程度,和曾經最恨的時候相比還相同嗎?
.
其實,人生絕大多數的困擾,都是自己造成的。
許多人都曾經告訴過自己應該要「學會放下」,但人總是會在不知不覺中,讓自己活在過去,當糾結於已經無法改變的事實,就容易徒增很多煩惱,那麼如何避免自己總是糾結在過去呢,那就必須「看透事物的本質」並且努力的「活在當下」。
.
所以,真正困住我們的往往不是別人,而是自己,真正能夠改變自己、幫助自己跳脫人生泥淖的也只有自己。
.
本週六_共修,我將和大家聊聊如何《看破才能放下》,歡迎大家起來參與!!祝福大家吉祥健康、幸福快樂!!

【Newly released】 Seeing Through: The Only Way to Letting Go

Let go, so that you can live in the moment!
Perhaps, many have experienced the feeling of hatred towards someone in the past.

During that time the feeling of hatred was so intense that we were stuck in pain and even had to be hospitalized or lost our social network.
But now, think again. Do you still have the feeling of hatred today? If you still bear that feeling, what is the degree of that hatred? Is it still at similar level as before?

In fact, most of the troubles we experience in life are caused by our own act.
Many people have told themselves that they have to learn to let go. But most people tend to continue to live in the past unconsciously. When reality cannot be changed, there will be added worries. So how do we avoid living in the tangled past? We must learn to “see through the essence of things” and strive to “live in the present”.

Therefore, what really trapped us is not others, but ourselves. The only person who can really change and help pull you out from the mud pond is yourself.

In this Saturday’s online Global Group Practice, I welcome all to join me in the discussion 【Seeing through: The Only Way to Letting Go】!!

Wishing all of you auspiciousness, health and happiness!
You are welcome to share.
