【填不滿的心】
送你一面鏡子
認真去看看
你是否已經老化
是否已經憔悴
因為你的心一直在奔馳
你的心一直奔跑在曠野中
不知不覺的就流離失所了
最終你得到的就是
一個苦字
你就猶如一艏船
沒有停泊的港口
後來的結果就只有
苦苦苦苦苦
你一直要爬得越高所求越無度
你不知道嗎？
你已經比上不足 比下有餘了
難道你要從那麽高的地方跌下來嗎？
不死也重傷呀
送你一面鏡子
看看是誰一點點一點點地
侵蝕著你
Shifu spoke these words some time ago. There were more but I only managed to take these down.
2600 years ago, Buddha expounded on the Eight Sufferings that every sentient being has to go through, one of which is the devastating suffering of Illness.
It tears apart the person undergoing it and pains the loved ones of the patient.
It doesn't have to be a terminal illness. It doesn't only strike the old.
The mother who grapples with her baby running a 39 °C fever that refuses to go away.
The teenager who has severe acne that ruined her porcelain skin.
The professional whose allergies always act up.
I think the most torturous illness isn't what I wrote above.
But the illness of the mind.
There is no physical medication to cure that.
The young man who masturbates everyday to pornography, exhausting the life essence in his body.
(The quality and quantity of Qi in our bodies have a very direct impact on our fortune in life.)
The woman who sees no wrong in one-night stands with married men.
The old auntie who hoards a roomful of trash.
The amateur who refuses to learn from a virtuous teacher but instead opt to go into Darkness, destroying all possible chances of liberation.
(Or think that one can learn without a teacher.)
My Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, 蓮生活佛, once said that all of us are mentally sick. Just that we have yet to drop below the clinical standards of "mentally healthy".
I so agree.
If you look around, and look deep inside, the attachments we have within us are all manifestations of sicknesses.
Greed, hatred, ignorance, jealousy, arrogance, suspicion.
Depression, anxiety, anger, obsession, spaced out, suicidal tendencies.
These manifestations can ruin a perfectly healthy body over time.
Only the teachings from the Buddha can transform these attachments into Dharma medication that heal us over time.
I met this middle-aged client for a Bazi consultation in March. During my analysis, she was crying and crying almost non-stop, so much that the waiter came over to serve us a plate of serviettes.
The consultation almost never took place.
Firstly, she contacted me with a dummy FB account.
My mum's advice to the little girl me: never talk to unknown strangers. 😂
Secondly, one day, she did not address me by my name, but just sent me a message.
You know I'm particular about manners when it comes to my client work. I'm not obliged to help you just because you can pay for my time. No one is.
But she was conscientious enough to send me another properly-addressed message.
She told me several times how thankful she was for my advice.
When I asked for her permission to share this text, she hesistated for a long while, but still agreed in the end.
This is one reason why I am especially grateful to clients and readers, who never shy away from Liking my posts with their real FB accounts.
I have this group of clients or readers who never Like anything. They revel in my writings secretly and tell me it is inconvenient/sensitive. Some of them worry what their FB friends, colleagues or family will think of them, if they Like a Feng Shui/Buddhist practitioner's posts.
One guy told me he didn't want to offend his previous Feng Shui master, a FB Friend, despite my advice bringing him more money than the Master's.
I am like their secret lover they hide in a golden mansion.
人，不要虛偽，不要偷偷摸摸。
光明正大最好。
嘴巴就是要拿來解釋的。
If not for those who have Liked my posts, I may not have written so much and so consistently.
So thank you.
#按讚真的是美德 #分享更是功德 😂
Don't get me wrong. I still appreciate the silent readers. 😍
If you suffer from depression and anxiety for a long time and do not know what else to do, I have this free but very effective advice.
1. Don't kill lives.
Be it an ant, a baby or yourself. Saying hurtful words counts. Forbidding another person to learn the Dharma or any good religious teaching counts too.
Every living being has a Buddha nature.
No one wishes to be killed. A killed spirit bears much grievances and will haunt you.
I see too many people with too many black shadows trailing behind them, and these people tend to get emotional/angry easily due to the Yin energy surrounding them.
2. Don't steal.
Whatever that is not yours, don't take.
Don't snatch the spouse of another person.
Don't bring home paper from the company for your son to draw.
Don't swindle money from the company.
Don't sell inferior products for a high price.
Don't sell counterfeits.
Don't do fake accounts to evade taxes.
3. Don't engage in sexual misconduct.
Sex before marriage often leads to abortions or children who are especially hard to teach.
Masturbation isn't a release but often leads to more sexual fantasies, that accumulates negative karma of the body and mind.
Adultery is never okay. Sleeping with married ones is just as dumb.
Don't flirt when you already have a partner or if the other party has. You are not a butterfly nor queen bee.
Do not behave like a wild animal. Or you plant the karmic seed to be reborn as one.
Also, a man who cheats on his wife is very likely to be a bad choice as a business partner. Vice versa.
4. Don't lie.
You are gifted with the ability of speech and writing, not to slander, deceive, gossip, spread rumours or talk nonsense.
When is the last time you use your speaking and writing skills for good?
White lie is still a lie.
Empty promises are also lies.
"Ji Qian! I will contact you for a Feng Shui audit when I come back in May."
I never ask for that. And I don't care when you want to find me. You don't have to lie and get your painfully accumulated merits slashed.
5. Don't drink.
Alcohol can cause a person to commit all the sins above.
.
Bad Feng Shui, failing business, or a turbulent destiny happen when you break the rules of karma.
Repent consistently to undo what you have done wrong. Go spread the word to tell people not to make the same mistakes as you did.
A person who sincerely abides by these 5 precepts will naturally evoke the protection of virtuous gods. Their Yang presence will help drive away the Yin energy enveloping you.
It may take years for some sins to be rectified, so start now.
There are people who pay good money to wear all kinds of protection amulets, but even the most powerful amulet can not fight against Karma.
佛都不能滅因果，鬼神又怎麼可能可以呢？
So learn how to protect yourself from the root.
I can help you, but first you got to help yourself.
Then again, if you have no guilt over what you have done, there is nothing I can do.
The best Feng Shui works most effectively only for the virtuous.

Translation of client's message:
Ms Ji Qian
Today is Mother's Day.
May you be healthy and beautiful forever.
And that everything will go your way.
I have no flowers or present for you
But only my best wishes!
Thank you Ms Ji Qian for your teachings.
My mood and emotions are much calmer now.
My brain is clearer now.
I have been doing what you taught and advised.
And I hope to do it better.
Thank you.
