真有缘。。

很有幸，真有缘

在private event 上，遇回我在Penang 韩江中六的同学，great!

the power of Giving 布施

Giving does not necessarily entail just giving money. Sometimes a few kind words on someone's behalf can allow incredible causes and conditions to materialize for him or her. It can even be a small amount of food that can provide hope for others, or the strength to turn their life around. Sometimes even a casual smile can give people a warm feeling. Therefore, the merits of giving are limitless.

布施并非只是金钱的施舍。有时，几句善言善语，就能为他人带来不可思议的因缘。即使是一小份食物，也能给人带来希望，或给予他们改变人生的力量。有时，一个不经意的微笑，也能给人带来温暖。因此，布施的功德是无量的。

自动自发

自动自发

听见有人说小孩总爱玩手机，不读书，不作作业。。而且机不离手，吃饭前，手机先吃。。

要让小孩，看到他们兴趣的事情项目，而让他们了解必须通过读书，求取知识，累积宝贵经验才能实现兴趣的事项，这就可让他们启发：‘’自动自发‘’

从此会自动自发的拿起书本读书

从此会自动自发提起笔来作作业

若我在小学三年级，课业成绩一落千丈，考全班38/50名次，人生仿佛坠入无底深渊，迷茫无比。有幸踏入四年级，有人文与环境这一科目，带我进入科学精彩，文化人文，科技应用的精彩项目，让我从此自动自发的享受学习科学的乐趣和成就感，这当中还有一位启发我的好老师，指导与指引我朝正确方向前进。。

学习就是要从“自动自发”开始，启开脑袋，摊开心扉，频率调对了，一切就会随水到渠成的筑成，若学习当中有遇到困难，回想莫忘初心是什么使你走到这一步，这会使你不会放弃，永不放弃的向前前进，把挑战且困难的事情完成，把不可能的变成可能，创造可能！

Spontaneity

I've heard people say that children always play with their phones, not reading or doing homework. They never put their phones down, even take photos before meals.

Let children see what interests them and understand that they can only fulfill their interests through reading, acquiring knowledge, and accumulating valuable experience. This will inspire them to be "spontaneous." From then on, they will spontaneously pick up a book and read. From then on, they will spontaneously pick up a pen and do their homework.

When I was in standard 3, my grades plummeted, ranking 38th out of 50 in my class. Life felt like it was plummeting into an abyss, and I was completely lost. Fortunately, in standard 4, I had the Humanities and Environment subject, which introduced me to the fascinating world of science, culture, and the application of technology. From then on, I spontaneously enjoyed the joy and sense of accomplishment of studying science. And I had an inspiring teacher who guided and directed me in the right direction.

 Learning should start from "automaticity and spontaneity", open your mind, open your heart, adjust n tune into the right frequency, and everything will be built naturally. If you encounter difficulties in learning, remember your original intention and what brought you to this step. This will make you not give up, and never give up to moving forward, complete the challenging and difficult things, turn the impossible into possible, and create the possible from impossible!

半碗咸菜

半碗咸菜

佛光山东禅寺滴水坊有一道斋饭

- 半碗咸菜饭

这道菜的由来是来自星云大师的一个故事，故事如下。。

。。。 。。。

🍲半碗鹹菜的故事🍲

每年農曆2月1日，佛光山保有吃鹹菜的傳統，這源自於佛光山開山祖師星雲大師對師父志開上人深厚的慈悲與感恩之情。

當年17歲的 星雲大師 身患瘧疾，體力極度虛弱，志開上人便遣侍者送來半碗鹹菜。在物資匱乏的年代，這碗鹹菜饒含著師父的關懷與期望。

年輕的星雲大師深受感動，吃下後，立下志願，誓以一生奉獻佛教，弘法利生，來報答師恩。

✨至今，佛光弟子們每年吃鹹菜，懷念大師的慈悲與願心，傳承與繼起。

☘️這道簡樸的滋味，象徵著修行的清淨與知足，也承載著大師一生奉行的慈悲願行。

。。。 。。。

以前大师的时代，半碗咸菜是那么的珍贵，而且也让大师吃下后发愿：立下志願，誓以一生奉獻佛教，弘法利生，來報答師恩。

有什么看似不起眼，却很重要，而且启发我们一生的事物吗？
