怎樣讓自己變得更有靈性？
.
.
中國有一個神話故事是這樣的：
一次大戰，有一位「黃帝」，他和南方的大首領（蚩尤）打仗的時候，各自帶了很多人馬。（蚩尤）布下了百里大霧，「黃帝」的軍隊被籠罩在一片迷茫的霧中，辨不清東南西北，三日三夜不散。
.
這時，有個叫「風後」的大臣，他突來「靈感」，創制出了一種「指南車」，這種車上立著一個小金屬人，不管車子轉向什麼方向，小金屬人伸出的一隻手總是指向「南方」。「黃帝」因為有了這輛「指南車」，軍隊就能辨明方向，終於，戰勝了蚩尤。
.
在古代，沒有任何現代科技的專業設備技術可談，憑的全是「靈性」的指引，這種「靈性」的能力足以應用於整個生活、軍事、農業、醫療、天氣、天文等方面，我們所知道的孔子、老子、莊子等這些有成就的人，都擁有這種特殊的「靈性」，而他們的特點都是有修行的人，可見「禪修」能帶給人很多靈性的東西。
.
本週共修，我們就來聊聊「禪修」是如何「開發靈性」、使我們的綜合能力得以提升？
祝福大家吉祥、智慧、創意無限！

How do you make yourself more spiritual?
.
According to legend in China, there was once a major war between the Emperor and the southern leader, Chi You. As part of his war strategy, Chi You staged an extensive range of fog to confuse and ambush the Emperor’s army. The Emperor’s army was trapped for three entire days by the fog.
.
At that moment, a minister, Feng Hou, had an inspiration. He created a type of “compass” car with a tiny metal man on it to point direction. No matter what direction the car turned, the outstretched hand of the tiny metal man’s would always point to the south. Because of the “compass”, the Emperor and his army could identify direction and finally defeated Chi You.
.
In ancient times, there was no modern technology or technical expertise. A lot was based on spiritual guidance and it was extended to all aspects of life, including military, agriculture, medicine, weather, astronomy and so forth. Many great sages such as Confucius, Laozi and Zhuangzi possessed such spirituality. What is special about them is that all of them were great cultivators. Thus, we can see how meditation can help to enhance our spirituality.
.
This week, we are going to talk about how mediation is a way to develop greater spirituality and overall ability.
Wishing all auspiciousness, wisdom and boundless creativity!

“Like” is a form of encouragement, “Share” is the best support.
?More sharing, more blessings!?

問：「禪修為什麼能帶來健康的效果呢？」（２０１７年９月１６日）
.
十幾年前，我剛開始在溫哥華傳授禪修的時候，不同文化、種族的人也都問過我這個問題。當時我用了一個很簡單、很粗淺的方法做了一個提示：「用一個透明的桶，到河流裡盛一桶水上來，注意觀察，通常過了兩個小時之後，泥沙等重的東西會沉到水底、輕的東西會漂到水面、而中間的那一層水則相對比較乾淨，我們只要擷取中間的部分，就能得到相對乾淨的水了。」
.
而禪修的最初過程也是如此，因為，咱們大腦的清淨與否，與我們的身體健康有著絕對的關係。但是該如何通過「禪修」，讓身體調整成平衡的狀態，讓身體方方面面都能恢復健康呢？
.
讓我們在這次的週末共修中一起來「認識禪修」吧！
非常歡迎大家一起來聊聊，祝福大家清淨自在、幸福快樂 ！

#認識禪修、#週六共修預告、#金菩提宗師開示、#清淨、#減少煩惱、#水的沉澱、#認識禪修rnrnQuestion: How can meditation benefit our health? (16 Sep 2017)
Ten years ago, when I first started teaching meditation in Vancouver, I was often asked this question by people of different cultures and ethnic groups. I used a very simplistic way to illustrate: “Fill a transparent pail with a bucket of water from the river and observe. Usually after two hours, the heavier particles like mud and sand will sink to the bottom while lighter particles will float to the water surface, leaving the middle layer of water relatively clean and clear.”
The same is true for meditation. When our mind is tranquil, our physical health will improve. So how can we gain health and balance in life through meditation?
Let us come together during this Saturday’s Global Group Practice and “Get to know meditation”!
We welcome everyone to join our discussion. Wishing everyone peace and happiness!
