Mother Teresa 德蘭修女

I have received a powerpoint about Mother Teresa and it's worth to share it in my blog. 真的很值得閱讀，再想想生命的意義；由於翻譯及打中文字須時，請英語有困難的朋友慢慢細看！

QUOTE

“I think today the world is upside down 倒過來, and is suffering 受苦的 so much because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have no time for our children, we have no time for each other, there is no time to enjoy each other.”

“Love begins at home; love lives in homes, and that is why there is so much suffering and so much unhappiness in the world today... Everybody today seems to be in such a terrible rush 匆忙, anxious for 焦慮 greater developments 更大的發展 and greater riches and so on, so that children have very little time for their parents. Parents have very little time for each other, and in the home begins the disruption 分裂 of the peace of the world.”

ON POVERTY 貧窮:

“The most terrible poverty is loneliness 孤獨 and the feeling of being unloved 未被愛的感覺.”

“The biggest disease 疾病 today is not leprosy 痲瘋 or tuberculosis 結核病, but rather the feeling of being unwanted 多餘、無用的感受.”

“There is more hunger in the world for love and appreciation 感恩 than for bread.”

“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked 無衣蔽體 and homeless 無家可歸. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for 沒人照顧、被忽視的 is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy 糾正 this kind of poverty.”

ON LOVE:

“If you judge people, you have no time to love them.”

“I have found the paradox 似非而是的雋語, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love.”

“I am not sure exactly what heaven will be like, but I do know that when we die and it comes time for God to judge us, he will NOT ask, How many good things have you done in your life?, rather he will ask, How much LOVE did you put into what you did?”

“If we want a love message to be heard, it has got to be sent out. To keep a lamp burning 燃燒油燈, we have to keep putting oil 放進油 in it.”

與神對話

極力推介IFC 正在上演的電影「與神對話」，原著為一套三本很銷的書籍。它涵蓋的題材廣博精深，從人與人的關係到宇宙的秘密、生與死、婚姻與性、精神與宗教、工作與志業、罪與罰...

《與神對話》最關鍵的是：我們每一個人都可以有自己的《與神對話》，跟內在智慧接觸，找到內在的真理。 事情的正與反只在一念之間，而世界之所以是現在這個樣子, 也是由成千上萬個人的觀念與想法所組成。因此不論是你的，或是我的想法都十分重要。

這套書不論真實性為何，其內容將使你停下腳步思考，或會改變你原本的觀念；亦可能助你找到生命的意義。 不管你信不信神，有沒有特定的宗教，只要相信每個人心裡都有那份善念。

蕭伯納曾經說過：有些人看到世界現在的樣子會問：『為什麼？』有些人則看到世界可能的樣子而問：『為什麼不呢？』現在，我們都有這個機會可以改變自己，並改變世界... 為什麼不呢？

故事內容如下: 一個結過五次婚、有九個小孩的男人，在他最潦倒的時候，神來之筆「寫」出了這本「驚世之作」。 尼爾對於自己生活的不順遂十分憤怒，他質疑自己的信仰與及一直相信的神，為了發洩不滿，他給神寫了一封信，竟然得到回應…… 神「直接的」回答了尼爾的種種問題，包括所有生命與生活中各個層面堪的問題：

「人的一生到底是為了什麼？」　　
「我是否永遠也不會有足夠的錢？」　　
「我到底做過什麼事，活該要有如此不濟的一生？」　　
「如果真有萬能的神，這世界怎麼還會有這麼多的災難？」　

尼爾的生活亦因為「與神對話」而得到改善，他遂將這份信念帶給其他人:「我無意說服你接受我的信仰，信不信都無所謂，我只是與你分享經歷而己。」

What is Reiki Master?

New friends are curious about what Reiki is as well as my reasons being a Reiki Master or a teacher in this path. Let me share my views here!

Healing is of course the main essence of what Reiki is but being a Reiki Master and a Reiki teacher, I commit myself not only to the teaching of Reiki knowledge to others but to practice Reiki principals in my daily life.

I've learnt how to love others, be compassionate and to appreciate life for what has been given... , sort of "going with the flow" in life! Reiki helps me to understand more of life and how to free my heart from hatred and to live a simple yet abundant life. I've become more spiritual, more truthful to myself.

I love to use Reiki because it really helps to heal people as well as helping me to develop a pure heart with pure intention in which the work requires.

I consider being a Reiki Master or a Reiki Teacher not as a job but being myself and being Reiki.

Here below are the Reiki principles to share with you:

Just for today, I will give thanks for my many blessings
Just for today, I will not worry
Just for today, I will not be angry
Just for today, I will do my work honestly
Just for today, I will be kind to my neighbour and every living thing

Body, Mind and Spiritual Healing

My Reiki students asked me what is the essence to heal. I would like to quote what Antoinette Moltzen, the author of "A Course in Light" has previously talked about in her workshop.

The first step to heal is Acceptance!

You can never heal until you accept all situations as they are. In accepting situations as they are doesn't mean that it doesn't change or it can't change. It means that you accept what is happening is in harmony and balance with the way it's meant to be.

If you are in pain, anger or rage, this is a part of the experience and the lesson. In the acceptance, you begin to feel, know and explore the awareness of the principle of the Divine Law that is governing the experience.

The second step is the release of the effect!

Since the pain is real, whether it's mental, emotional, psychic or physical. It's real and our body registers all these expereinces. Pain gets into the cells and all parts of the mental, physical and psychic systems.

Those can be images, like thought forms or vibrations, and they set into our body. The process is to release the effect of negative conditions developed through conflict or fear ....

The third step to all healing is forgiveness!

It is the state of mind in which you cannot remember the anger, the rage and it eventually becomes an automatic experience of forgiveness. We practice attaining this by prayers or rituals healing.

Forgiveness is a powerful place to be mentally, physically, emotionally and psychically. When you are there, you know it! It doesn't have to obtain it, for you have arrived!

The last step is to maintain your spiritual connection!

... or living in the law of Grace since healing is not a one-time experience, it is a continuous part of our life!

Say a little prayer for today!

Today I walk in gratitude, pleased to be who I am, living this life. I am deeply thankful for my gifts, deeply thankful for this life and the blood which courses through my veins.

Today, I embrace my life just as it is and acknowledge myself for all that I have done. I am full of respect for myself and my accomplishments. I love myself without reservation.

I am peace!
I am love!
I am!

God's Interview

I dreamed I had an interview with God: "Come in," God said. "So, you would like to interview Me?"

"If you have the time," I said. God smiled and said, "My time is eternity and is enough to do everything; what questions do you have in mind to ask me?"

"What surprises you most about mankind?"

God answered: "That they got bored of being children, are in a rush to grow up, and then long to be children again. That they lose their health to make money and then lose their money to restore their health. That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live neither for the present nor the future. That they live as if they will never die, and they die as if they had never lived..."

God's hands took mine and we were silent for a while and then I asked, " As a parent, what are some of life's lessons you want your children to learn?"

God replied with a smile:

"To learn that they cannot make anyone love them. What they can do is to let themselves be loved."

"To learn that what is most valuable is not what they have in their lives, but who they have in their lives."

"To learn that it is not good to compare themselves to others. All will be judged individually on their own merits, not as a group on a comparison basis!"

"To learn that a rich person is not the one who has the most, but is one who needs the least."

"To learn that it only takes a few seconds to open profound wounds in persons we love, and that it takes many years to heal them."

"To learn to forgive by practising forgiveness."

"To learn that there are persons that love them dearly, but simply do not know how to express or show their feelings."

"To learn that money can buy everything but happiness."

"To learn that two people can look at the same thing and see it totally different."

"To learn that a true friend is someone who knows everything about them... and likes them anyway."

"To learn that it is not always enough that they be forgiven by others, but that they have to forgive themselves."

I sat there for a while enjoying the moment. I thanked God for his time and for all that He has done for me and my family.

God replied, "Anytime. I'm here 24 hours a day. All you have to do is ask for me and I'll anwer."

PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU SAID. PEOPLE WILL FORGET WHAT YOU DID, BUT PEOPLE WILL NEVER FORGET HOW YOU MADE THEM FEEL.

The Optimist Creed

If you happen to be at the low tides of life, have a look at the below and gain some inspiration from it. I'm sure it will help you to overcome life difficulties and bring you back to shore!

Life could be amusing if we manage to get the right key to open the door!

1. To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.
2. To talk health, happiness and prosperity to every person you meet.
3. To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.
4. To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
5. To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.
6. To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.
7. To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
8. To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
9. To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticise others.
10. To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

La Vie En Rose

(中文譯: 薔薇人生)

Hold me close and hold me fast
The magic spell you cast
This is La Vie En Rose

When you kiss me heaven sighs
and though I close my eyes
I see La Vie En Rose

When you press me to your heart
I'm in a world apart
A world where roses bloom

And when you speak, angels sing from above
Everyday words seem to turn into love songs

Give your heart and soul to me and life will always be La Vie En Rose

(La Vie En Rose 的最佳演譯, 首推Louis Armstrong)

* * *

第一次認識La Vie En Rose這首歌曲是從柯德莉夏萍的電影[龍鳳配]Sabrina 。這是一個灰姑娘的故事, 戲中的Sabrina是美國Long Island 一名富有家庭汽車司機的貧窮女兒, 但卻偷偷暗戀主人的一位兒子, 也是一位花花公子。

忍受不了心上人的玩世不恭, 在傷心欲絕的情況下, Sabrina定離開傷心地遠赴法國學習廚藝, 兩年後, 在即將離開巴黎的一個晚上, Sabrina在房間寫信給遠在美國的父親。此時, 窗外傳來在街上隨隨奏起的La Vie En Rose, 此曲調哀怨動人, 另Sabrina 感慨萬分。

她有感而發的在信中道出:“La Vie En Rose 是法語, 意指“我透過薔薇色的玻璃看世界”, 這首歌道出我的心底話。在巴黎兩年, 我獲益良多 …我學會了如何生活, 如何投入生命, 而不是只作壁上觀, 我再也不會逃避人生或逃避愛”。

("I've learnt how to live, how to be in the world and off the world, and not just to stand aside and watch, and I'll never, never again run away from life or from love either...")

月有陰晴圓缺，人有悲歡離合; 愛情往往如空中浮雲, 變幻莫測, 帶來欣喜亦帶來傷痛。但不要害怕受傷害, 亦不要逃避愛情, 現在就為人生添上如薔薇色的浪漫及色彩吧! 在此祝褔所有在愛海中浮沉的人, 都如Sabrina 一樣的無懼風浪, 勇往直前, 提起勇氣, 努力為自己尋找心靈的另一塊拼圖。

How to get rid of Life's Dirt?

"One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally, he decided the animal was old, and the well needed to be covered up anyway; it just wasn't worth it to save the donkey.

He invited all his neighbours to come over. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well. At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly. Then, to everyone's amazement he quieted down.

A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well. He was astonished at what he saw. With each shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up.

As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the donkey, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and happily trotted off"!

* * *

Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up.

Remember the five simple rules to be happy:
1. Free your heart from hatred – Forgive!
2. Free your mind from worries – Most never happen!
3. Live simply and appreciate what you have!
4. Give More!
5. Expect Less!

This story is dedicated to one of my very dear friends. May the Guiding Star be shining upon her to guide her the way out.

When I Dream

"When I Dream" by Crystal Gayle

I could build a mansion that is higher than the trees
I could have all the gifts I want and never ask please
I could fly to Paris, it's at my beck and call
Why do I live my life alone with nothing at all?

But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true
When I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true

I can be the singer or the clown in any room
I can call up someone to take me to the moon
I can put my makeup on and drive the men insane
I can go to bed alone and never know his name

But when I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true
When I dream, I dream of you
Maybe someday you will come true

送給在遠方的母親
May she be rest in peace

「幸褔」在那裏？

仍記得一年多前在 gym 參加Body Balance 練習時，一位並不相識的同學上前問我為何經常笑口常開? 當時，我不懂怎樣回答，只有嘴巴送上一個更燦爛的笑容說道：「開心嘛！」

有一個故事在此與大家分享。有一隻小獅子Tess 在成長過程中曾問獅子媽媽「幸褔」在那裏？獅子媽媽為了讓Tess 女有深刻的體驗，便告訴牠「幸褔」在牠們的背後。Tess 女馬上身往背面轉，不斷在轉圈，渴望看見「幸褔」。最後，Tess 女都轉得累了，便停下來休息。牠伏在地上一副可憐的樣子望媽媽說：「我真沒有用，轉了十數個圈仍然看不見「幸褔」‧‧‧。獅子媽媽輕撫Tess 女的臉再隨之解釋：「阿女，其實「幸褔」一直在跟隨我們，只是我們往往把它忽略了。」

當你願意把心扉打開，願意用喜悅的心去面對任何生活的狀況，學會接受及寬恕自己和別人的陰暗面，你會發現，幸褔、快樂、開心從沒有離你而去，它們一直在旁等候你的擁抱。

在此，感謝在靈修道路上的每位老師和同伴，特別是安安老師在我生命的低點，引領我從新認識生命，提昇覺知，如何運用光的能量來淨化身心靈的層面。

更衷心感謝母親多年來無私的照顧, 有您在旁的日子是多麼的「幸褔」!

把快樂帶回家

朋友喊工作, 家庭及生活壓力大，希望少煩惱，多些快樂。曾經看過一遍文章道出怎樣把快樂帶回家，望與不快樂一族分享。故事大概如下：

到一個朋友家裏作客時，走出電梯後，見屋門外掛了一塊小木牌寫：「進門前把煩惱放下；入屋後把快樂帶回家」。進門後，見男女主人一團和氣，兩個孩子開開心心，馬上感受到屋子裏溫馨和諧的氣氛。我問起那塊木牌，太太笑著望向丈夫道：「你說。」丈夫溫柔回望向太太：「還是你說吧，這是你的創意呀。」

最終，太太帶笑地說：「有一次回家時，在電梯的鏡子裏看見自已一張困倦灰暗及煩惱的臉 ……實在嚇了一跳。心想孩子及丈夫面對這個愁眉苦臉會有什麼感覺？假如我的丈夫孩子亦同樣冷淡沈默，我又會有什麼感受？… 第二天，我寫了一塊木牌釘在門外，決心以此來提醒自己把快樂帶回家。 結果，這不只提醒了我，也感染了我的家人及到訪的朋友，大家學會放下煩惱，開開心心的渡過每一天…」

世間的好與壞，幸與不幸，快樂與痛苦，常常是一體的兩面。一念之間的轉換，就呈現出截然不同的世界。

願你的家裏也盛載著這股快樂的氣味!
