【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.

【玳瑚師父課室】《第41場回顧:旺得福大肥年餐會》
41st Learning Session Recap: A Wonderful Year of Abundance
(English version below)
玳瑚師父於2018年1月6日舉辦了2018年裡的首場餐會,《旺得福大肥年餐會》,教導如何在新春佳節間,養精蓄銳,過個旺得富的大肥年。
餐會開始時,當每個人都點了自己的晚餐後,師父隨即問出席者們,可否注意到負責點菜的侍應生,臉上有何特徵?
出席者說出各自答案後,師父便說大家的答案都錯了。
師父說出正確答案後,便說當大家看到一位侍應生有這樣的特徵時,最好就不要跟他點菜,因為祇會受氣。 眾人笑著點頭。
接著,師父請出席者們給自己掌聲,說今天是她們在2018年裡的大好日子。
春天,是大地復甦的季節。夏天,是百花爭豔的時候。在秋天,人會比較容易憂愁, 而在冬天, 會不想做工。
有人問:「那不是和動物一樣嗎?」
師父笑答:「人的欲望不除,和動物又有何不一樣呢?」
.
餐會回顧:
一、每一年的開始,都是我們可以爲自己的運氣『進補』的時候。
二、見到師父時,向他合掌,有何寓意?
三、師父問一位出席者,難得見到師父,爲何苦著臉?
四、孝順,不是每個月給她他們家用而已,而是每次見到父母時,也要保持笑臉。
五、過年期間,不要做的三件事。
六、身體裡也會出現的四季, 如何能夠看出,及對個人運程的影響?
七、哪些年菜一定要烹調?
八、哪七道年菜能爲一家人大增運?
九、過年擺八寶盒,是吉還是凶?
十、過年期間,哪些飲料不能少?
十一、新年時,如何能接到財神、喜神、福神和貴神,並讓祂們在妳你家呆久一點?
十二、爲何吃飯不要坐在底處吃?
十三、想要功名利祿,除夕夜,千萬別吃哪種食物?
十四、餐桌,哪個形狀最佳?
十五、家中常有爭執,不吉利之事發生,原來就是因爲餐桌擺在這!
十六、玳瑚師父舉例說明,這家中的方位,如何讓身體健康亮紅燈?
.
餐會進行時,玳瑚師父注意到一位出席者將所有的碗盤都往自己哪兒堆。
師父便說,看妳們怎樣排碗盤,就知道妳們現在被什麼困住。前方還有位,爲何不要擺出來,給自己多一點空間?做人,不要把自己逼得無路可退。
不要把自己鎖在一個角落頭,沒有人會可憐妳你的。富裕,也不會找上門。
有位出席者先前爲自己的禮儀不足,而發了道歉的簡訊。師父提點她,禮貌的重要。道歉,應該是親自撥電向師父說,而不是一則短訊就了事,況且眾人皆知,玳瑚師父不回覆短訊。網路上的溝通,是由弟子代師處理。
師父解釋,這顯示她個人的我執很重,及誠心不足,因此在日常生活中,必有讓家人覺得不舒服的時候,祇是沒有人願意告訴她罷了。
師父通過她們的八字,也應證她們都曾有婦女健康的問題。師父進而提醒她們要如何保養自己的婦女健康,以免血光之災。
接著,玳瑚師父也帶著出席者們一同到樟宜機場的最新航廈。他說,這新的地方,有新的旺氣。師父帶著眾人遊走時,也一一指出機場內的風水密碼,讓眾人獲益匪淺。
師父提醒大家,風水是入世的,能夠補助修行一點點,比方說,一個修行人想要有個好地方打坐,需用風水來幫他,讓他的禪定功力能突飛猛進。但風水畢竟不是究竟。
活著,就一定會有不開心的時候,所以人要常看佛菩薩,學習祂們的寬心和自在。如果看自己多了,會變自戀。看老公,越看越生氣,便「憤怒鳥」。(眾笑)還是看佛菩薩好,要不然就到臉書,一邊看玳瑚師父的「玉照」尋個開心,一邊增長智慧也不錯!
.....................
Master Dai Hu held the 1st Learning Session of 2018 on 6th January 2018, imparting knowledge on how to preserve and build up our energy during the Chinese New Year period, in order to enjoy a successful year ahead.
As the session commenced, after everyone had ordered their dinner, Master Dai Hu asked the participants if they had noticed any special facial feature of the waiter taking their orders.
Every participant gave their answers, all of which were incorrect.
Master Dai Hu told them the correct observation, and recommended the participants to best avoid waiters with such facial feature, so as not to feel frustrated. Everyone laughed and nodded their heads.
Following that, Master asked everybody to give themselves some appaluse, citing that that day was a hugely auspicious day in 2018 for them.
Spring is the time of renewal for the Earth. Summer is the time where all flowers bloom. In the Autumn, people becomes moody easily, and in Winter, we becomes lazy to work.
Someone asked: "Doesn't that make us similar to animals?"
Master laugh: "When Man does not eliminate his desires, how is he different from animals?"
.
Learning Session Highlights:
1. The start of every year is the time when we can "take in tonic" for our personal luck.
2. What is the significance of greeting Master Dai Hu with your palms together?
3. "It is rare that you get to meet me. Why are you pulling such a long face?" Master Dai Hu asked one lady participant.
4. Filial piety does not only mean providing monthly allowances to your parents, but to put on a genuine smile every time you see them.
5. Avoid doing these 3 things during the Chinese New Year.
6. There are also four seasons in your body. How can you tell, and what are their effects on your own fortunes?
7. Which are the mandatory Chinese New Year dishes?
8. Which are the 7 Chinese New Year dishes, that will boost the fortunes of your family members?
9. Is it auspicious (or otherwise) to display a Eight Treasure Box at home during Chinese New Year?
10. Which beverages are mandatory during the Chinese New Year period?
11. How do you welcome the Gods of Wealth, Happiness, Fortune, and Nobility, into your home, and make Them stay for a while longer?
12. Why is it inauspicious to eat sitting at low levels?
13. Avoid these foods on Chinese New Year's Eve, if you wish for success and fame.
14. What is the best shape for the dining table?
15. The position of the dining table in this house is the CAUSE of the frequent quarrels and misfortunes.
16. Master Dai Hu illustrated with an example, how a certain position in a house can adversely affect the health of its occupants.
In the midst of the session, Master Dai Hu noticed that one participant stacked up all the plates in front of her.
Master spoke, "I can tell what obstacles you are facing now, from the way you stacked and arranged those empty plates in front of you.
There are plenty of space in front of you, and you should afford yourself more space. We should not set up ourselves for a dead end road in life."
No one would sympathize with you if you trap yourself in a dead corner. Abundance will not come knocking.
One participant sent an apology SMS to Master to apologise for her lack of manners towards him on a previous occasion. Master reminded her that manners are important. Apology should be conveyed at least with a personal phone call, and not via a text message. Furthermore, most people, including her, were aware that Master Dai Hu did not respond to SMS. All communication via the Internet is handled by his disciple.
Master explained that this behaviour showed that she had a strong attachment to self, and a lack of sincerity. Therefore, in her daily life, she must have made her family members feel uncomfortable, just that no one told her so.
Through an analysis of their Bazi, Master was able to tell that they had female health problems. He further reminded them on how to take care of their female health, in order to avoid any form of bloodshed.
Master Dai Hu later brought everyone to the new Terminal 4 of Changi Airport. He said that the new terminal had very auspicious energies. Master pointed out the various Feng Shui applications at the new terminal as they strolled about, making it a very beneficial trip for all.
Master reminded them that Feng Shui is still confined to this material world, and it can help one on the road of spiritual practice. For example, a spiritual practitioner can make use of Feng Shui to improve his cultivation environment, helping him attain incredible progress in his meditation. However, Feng Shui will not lead one to Enlightenment.
There is bound to be sadness in life, thus we should all look at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas often, to learn Their magnanimity and ease.
Looking at yourself excessively will turn you into a narcissistic person, while looking at your spouse will turn you into an "Angry Bird" (laughter from all). So, it is better to look at the Buddhas and the Bodhisattvas. Another alternative is to visit the Facebook page of Master Dai Hu, and be happy looking at his photos, while learning wisdom at the same time!

angry text message for him 在 鄺俊宇 Roy Kwong Facebook 的最佳解答
感激Selina Kinyee Chau翻譯我的散文作品,讓香港及台灣以外的朋友都能看得明白,從中文走向英語,是我作品的大突破,感謝妳一字一句的用心翻譯:)
《WhatsApp and its USD0.99》
by Roy Kwong Translated by Selina Kinyee Chau
The WhatsApp software developer has informed its users to the app to be payable, triggering a fight between iPhone users and android users because iPhone users only pay USD0.99 once to enjoy life-long service but android users need to pay the same price every year.
Android users complain, “Why iPhone users only need to pay once but we need to pay every year?” iPhone users retort, “You didn’t say anything when we were being charged at the beginning. And now you are complaining.” So the two parties are stuck at whether the charge is unfair to Android users.
After the Two Ticks and Last seen on (Please refer to the previous article of the same writer), the WhatsApp started a fight again because of this USD0.99 issue. From between lovers to friends, now it has even extended to the whole user group of the two giant software developers. It should be named the Most Evil App of the Century.
The inconsistency of charging is of course WhatsApp’s fault. However, for those who can afford a smart phone that cost thousands dollars will be able to afford USD0.99 which is only the price of a can of coke, won’t they?
Some student users may complain, “I don’t have a credit card, I’m not able to pay at the App Store, WhatsApp are not considerate of us.” It is reasonable for users under 18 to complain if they don’t have a credit card. But if the charge is a disaster of WhatsApp, isn’t it just time for people to show their kindness? Friends who have a credit card can rescue others at this time, “I have a credit card. Let me pay it for you.”
Friends without a credit card will appreciate what you have done for them, although it is WhatsApp’s fault of the forbiddance of sending messages before the expiry date, reactivating the function for your friends by buying them a can of coke is meaningful, isn’t it? The USD0.99 of WhatsApp has created a chance to show your care to your friends, how nice as a social networking app!
Recall those days when we were still texting, it was actually not financial friendly at all. For the sake of keeping in touch with our friends, we were compelled to use the same service provider as theirs even its service was the worst in the world and we had to survived three times every day from losing connection just because to keep the text messages free of charge.
Still, the Two Ticks and Last seen on functions have created a lot of problem. But the invention of WhatsApp allows us to send messages for free, save us from paying for every text messages. It deserves to be granted a credit. And the simplified process by just clicking a few buttons to send pictures, videos and audios when we could only do so via email in the past. What’s more, WhatsApp had actually stated in the Terms and Conditions that charge may be applied after the first year.
So there have been so many complaints about WhatsApp being unfairness and has been given the name “a broken app” when it announced to charge? No one ever said something like that before the charging. After the charge applied, negative comments has swept over the Internet. Some suggested to use another communication app, Line, which is free of charge, and WhatsApp has become the public enemy. Despite the inconsistent charge, what’s wrong for WhatsApp to charge for using the app?
Have we become too comfortable enjoying free lunch without notice?
I still remember how hard I tried to save to buy a CD home and listened to it again and again when I was a kid. I had never been tired of it because it wasn’t easy. When there was a movie I liked, I saved hard to go to the cinema for it. If I didn’t have enough money, I bought the VCD when it was released. But VCDs were only available for movies not for TV shows. I had to start sitting in front of the TV before the show I liked started so that I wouldn’t miss any parts. And recorders became my good friend too. I really cherished the only-180-minute memory of every tape.
After I grew up, thanks to the advanced technology becomes able to store everything, the TV, computer, CD player, VCD player, game station and recorders, into ONE smart phone, only without the air conditioner. Want to listen to a song? Go to Youtube; want a movie? PPS, internet TV! A TV show? There are also apps you can watch live TV or play back. Want some games? From Angry Bird to Candy Crush, there are thousands of choices waiting for you.
However, The advance of technology has devalue our attitude towards making efforts. Because everything has become easy to get nowadays.
Have you noticed the songs nowadays are not as good as those in the past? That could be the problem of quality itself but more likely, it is because we have too many options. Now we just need to click a few buttons, thousands of search results will come out and we can listen to them right after. We are spoiled to be greedy unconditionally. We didn’t realize how long we hadn’t paid for a CD until the news of HMV’s bankruptcy spread out.
In the past we had to sit still and paid 100% attention to the movie to enjoy it, now we can just watch it from a few-inch-wide screen on a train. But the price is we keep being interrupted by the surrounding noise and people. When the character is saying something moving, we would just realize we’ve missed the stop and have to rush to get off. It may be free to watch a movie like this but I prefer paying to buy a ticket to go to the cinema.
We don’t need to worry about missing the best part of a TV show because our friends always share them on Facebook. We don’t need to watch every scene but you know what is going on in every story. But why is there still something missing? It turns out that we only keep the concentrated part of everything while the every well panned detail has been wasted. We don’t spend time building a connection with the characters in the story. However, if we don’t even spend time watching the the TV show by ourself, how can we feel the same way as the characters do, like we did in the past?
You don’t feel the pain losing something if you have never made any effort. It is just like we keep those old comics that we spent all our pocket money on even they are old and worn , but we are able to uninstall an app on our phone without a thought. Well, just take a couple seconds to download and we will own it again anytime.
While we are expecting making no effort, we are also destroying creativity. Creators lack of motivation. Creativity is worth nothing nowadays. People will search for replacement when one creativity starts to charge. This is not just about the USD0.99 of WhatsApp, it’s about our value on Give and Take.
Technology has changed our life, but we should never let it change our values.
We avoid Giving. But giving is vital for us to learn to cherish. Sometimes we get back more by giving than not giving, not just about money but also about love. Think about it, if we get what we want easily without paying any effort, comparing with that you devote yourself to a relationship while the other devotes to the relationship as much as you. Then none of you will give up on the relationship easily.
If you think WhatsApp is good, it deserves the USD0.99. Although I am still annoyed by the evil functions such as the Two Ticks and Last Seen on. WeChat is free but you have to pay your liberty of speech for it. One user once tried to send the name of Southern Weekly in Chinese, the system reminded him that “The message has involved sensitive words, please try again after making modification.” What’s wrong with the name of Southern Weekly? The even more ridiculous thing is, while I am writing this article, I get the news that WeChat now has tightened up the regulation that users have to use their real name, phone number when posting on the public forum and are even required to upload the photo of them with their ID card, like you have committed some serious crime.
To avoid paying USD0.99, you need to escape to somewhere that and be monitored. One day if you really encounter some sensitive issue, you will realize not paying actually pays more than paying. I believe most of readers are willing to pay for this USD0.99. We hope WhatsApp will open up more channels for payments.
Don’t let the wheels of Time make us forget the value of giving.
Writer for Yam Taiwan, Roy Kwong
