「禪修」能讓烏鴉變鳳凰？
.
在上古神話中，有一種神鳥叫「鳳凰」，雄為鳳、雌為凰，又被稱為火鳥、或不死鳥。傳說中的鳳凰，每五百年就會集香木自焚為灰燼，再從灰燼中浴火重生。而鳳凰每一次的重生，就能獲得比以往更強大的生命力，如此周而復始，直至「鳳凰涅槃」，獲得永生。
.
鳳凰是人世間幸福的使者，每五百年，它就要背負著積累於人世間的所有仇恨恩怨，投身於熊熊烈火中自焚，以生命和美麗的終結換取人世的祥和與幸福。在肉體經受巨大的痛苦後，才能獲得更美好的軀體，得以重生。
.
而我們在通過「禪修」之後，觀察能力、視覺能力、以至於各種能力，從寬度、深度、廣度。在境界上也會有很大差別，我們從一個凡人的基礎上，修到了視覺能力，和精神境界都超越過去，甚至超越了凡人，自然我們的能量就會比過去增強；而我們的思維方式、智慧也將比過去強上很多。
.
當深入修行到一個程度的時候，我們也有機會，生出許多超越原本能力的超能力，可以跨越時間、空間去看我們自己、看這個世界，去順應於這個世界、甚至是利用這個世界，讓自己飛升起來，這叫什麼呢？——「善用萬物而入鳳凰涅槃」，通俗地講就是「烏鴉變鳳凰」，提升我們的肉體與精神境界。
.
通過「禪修」，來提升我們的心靈視覺，讓我們的人生達到更高的境界！

In ancient mythology, there is a breed of spiritual bird known as “Phoenix”. Its Chinese characters 「凤凰」refer to the male and female species respectively. It is also known as the ‘Fire Bird’ or ‘Eternal Bird’. The legendary phoenix was said to gather incense wood to self-immolate (burn itself to ashes) every 500 years, and obtain rebirth from the ashes of the fire. Every rebirth of the phoenix results in it becoming more powerful with greater vitality than before, so the cycle of ending-and-rejuvenation allow the phoenix to obtain eternal life.
The phoenix is the messenger of happiness for our world. Every 500 years, it carries all the accumulated hatred and resentment in the world for all, commit them to the flames of fire, and ending its own life and beauty in exchange for world peace and happiness. After much physical suffering and pain, it regains a better body, and is reborn.
Following a period of 「meditation」 practice, our sense of observation, vision, amongst other faculties are enhanced in several aspects, we gain extensive abilities and latitude, with expanded horizons in terms of width, depth, and breadth. There is a quantum leap in perspectives, as we develop greater spatial and sensory acuity, building on the base of a sentient being, and surpassing our past spiritual cultivation. Naturally, our energy will be more robust than previously, and our thinking approach and wisdom will be more powerful than in the past.
As we meditate to advanced levels, there is the opportunity to experience abilities beyond those that we priorly possessed, allowing for transcendence into time and space to know more about ourselves, appreciate the world, provide further scope to adapt to, and even capitalize on the opportunities in this world to rise to the occasion. This is termed as “leveraging the environment effectively in the rejuvenation of the Phoenix”, or more popularly, the “transformation of the crow into Phoenix” to enhance our physical and spiritual cultivation.
Through 「meditation」, we enhance our spiritual and visionary acuity, so as to elevate our life to a higher level!
