"真愛無限" by 達賴喇嘛
達賴喇嘛是非常尊敬的一位修行長者,這本書不錯,書摘分享:
§ 如果「愛」,是一件容易的事情,就不會有這麼多迷惑的眾生。
§ 因為「愛」,是每個人內心深處最溫柔的渴望,所以珍貴脆弱。
§ 然而「愛」,要超越小小的自我並愛上敵人,需要智慧與方法。
★為何要修心?
‧追求太多的表面慾望,過度的貪婪、瞋怒、愚癡(無明),但這些並不能帶來內在的滿足。
‧唯有徹底察覺貪瞋癡所帶來的缺點,並了解愛與慈悲才能帶給心靈真正的平靜。
★人性本澄淨
‧心的本性是光明自覺的,因此許多的情緒問題不是心的本質。負面的情緒是一時的、表面的,所以可以移除。
不管水有多髒,水的本質是不會被髒東西污染。同理,即使心中有煩惱,心的本質也不會被塵污染。
‧徹底了解為什麼我們會貪瞋癡?
真正原因是欲望受挫,缺乏正確的態度面對問題,覺得自己是受害人而對方是敵人。
★問題在心中
‧外在的環境不是讓我們陷入痛苦的原因,是雜亂的心導致痛苦。
‧如何改變?培養觀察自己的能力。
- 把自己當成觀察者,觀察自己的行為與思想,就能體會什麼是「平常心」,無關乎喜歡或不喜歡,想要或不想要。
- 但,千萬不要墮入情境。心自然會流露本然的純淨。
★怎麼修心?
‧試著在清晨起床時,躺在床上,觀照心性,訓練心性保持平靜的狀態,有助於思緒清楚。
‧禪修步驟:
- 不要想過去和未來發生的事
- 讓心自然運作,不要思考
- 觀照心性的光明澄淨
- 保持這個狀態一段時間
--------------------------------------
★第一階段:落實平等心
「沒有平等心的觀念,即使是偏頗的愛和慈悲,也無法發揮。」
‧所謂落實平等心,也就是儘量對所有的人產生正面的態度。
‧可以從對少數人開始,漸漸擴展到愈來愈多的人。
--------------------------------------
★第二階段:發自內心,對他人感恩
「如果你的人生太平順,你會變得懦弱。困境會幫你開發內心的力量,讓你有勇氣面對困境。」
誰讓我們擁有這一點?
不可能是朋友,絕對是敵人。
‧透過回想親朋好友對我們的好,尤其是在童年階段時,因為那時我們特別依賴別人的照顧。回憶過去生命中接受過的恩惠,並對別人的佈施感恩,即使別人並不是有心施恩與你。
--------------------------------------
★第三階段:助他人快樂
「一種發自心悝的互惠感,將漸漸變成你對別人的第一印象。」
‧回饋別人的好,發揮無畏的精神,不管困難,也要助人得到快樂,並最終可以證悟。
--------------------------------------
★第四階段:認識受苦,學習愛別人
「那些都是人,他們正在受苦。他們和我們一樣有得到喜樂的權利。」
‧放棄你、我、他的思維,捨棄以自我為中心的態度。
‧「一支箭射過來時,沒有時間問是誰射的或射的是什麼箭。」而是用同理心看待所有的人。
洞察生命的本質
「只有把世事的本質看成時時刻刻在壞滅,才不會在它變化的時候措手不及,即使面對死亡也不驚恐。」
‧當我們沒有了解生命的本質時,容易帶來煩惱、或無明的情緒?
- 事事無常→活在當下
- 緣起緣滅→不要執著
- 好運不是永久的→惜福與知足
鐵的事實:「所有的事物都會消失,你也會消失。」
‧我們隨時都可能死亡,生命就會消散,不論我們多有成就、多有錢,都不能使生命延長。在死亡的時候,我們必須放棄所有東西,就這方面,有錢人的死和野獸的死並沒有差別。
→在有幸成為人的同時,就應該為別人的福祉盡一份心,讓今生過得有意義。
--------------------------------------
★第五階段:以愛為本,發展慈悲心
「好好運用常識吧!憤怒有用嗎?
憤怒不會對彼此有任何幫助。
最後,憤怒不會傷害別人,只會傷害你自己。」
‧不論貧富、老少、強弱,都以良善、慈悲的心對待,希望他們早日得到快樂。
‧如何發揮慈悲心?
- 與眾生建立親近感與痛苦的同理心。
- 學習如何控制憤怒。
(思考:憤怒的價值在那裡?安忍和慈悲的價值又是什麼?)
--------------------------------------
★第六階段:全心投入,度己度人
「如感覺慈悲自然流露,想為眾生除盡諸苦,就像母親一般,想為愛子解除病痛,那你的慈悲達到圓滿,稱為大慈大悲。」
‧當你的內心深處自然浮現愛心,希望跟所有眾生一起享有真正而永恆的喜樂,這就是大愛。
--------------------------------------
★第七階段:追求利他的證悟
「當身、語、意三方面的行為,愈來愈導向他人的利益,就會發展出深遠的愛心和投入感。」
‧最終目標:幫助形形色色的眾生。
‧首先我們要了解他們的本性和性向,並對愛的修行有充足的知識。
‧教導眾生,為什麼要修習愛的修行,以及從現在開始,要捨棄什麼樣的行為。
--------------------------------------
★重新定位你和他人的關係,可以賦予生命新的意義。★
冷灶熱廚 - 生菜沙拉 初體驗
- 生菜沙拉: 不難,主要是食材要新鮮 & 得清洗乾淨. 但是生手做起洗洗切切的工作來就是礙手礙腳的,真"厚工", 加上nanako在腳下該該叫, 媽咪好忙好緊張, 明明就是不用起鍋動油的料理,女廚卻整個人熱起來,真是標準的"熱廚".
做法: 洗洗切切,蘋果泡過鹽水,混在一起,稍微冰過,沾和風沙拉醬即可食用.

之前寶貝愛寫寫畫畫,通常是拿著原子筆在紙上或者蛋糕盤上畫,於是我們買了蠟筆,拿了一本沒使用的日記本給寶貝畫,現在回到家,寶貝每天必做的事就是拿起筆翻開書來畫!畫!畫... 直線橫線亂畫,當然媽咪陪是一定要的啦,多半是媽媽畫的比小人還認真.... 最近nanako從把把那裡拿到一枝快沒水的簽字筆,變成了寶貝的最愛畫筆 ,是否可以買彩色筆了呢? 以會在身上手上亂畫的情形看來,再等等吧!
成長情況:
身高77.5cm
體重9.6kg
牙齒: 6顆 (上4下2)
這兩個月明顯抽長許多,端午時跟小姊姊差了嘴巴以上的高度, 這次回南部跟小姊姊身高相比起來僅差眉毛以上的距離了,難怪背著你走一段距離時,媽咪的背幾乎已經無法負荷.外出自己走的意願不高,所以母女兩單獨闖蕩江湖的日子還得在等等~~
會嚐試用工具囉!
- 指甲剪剪指甲:現在只要看到眉毛夾,就誤以為是指甲剪,拿著就往媽咪的腳刺,ㄟ,媽咪幫你剪指甲有這麼粗魯嗎?
- 用叉子吃東西: 媽咪還記得小屁哥單腳站立用叉子叉食物吃的可愛模樣,你現在也會用叉子囉!那天在餐廳吃水果,媽咪拿了木叉子叉一塊香瓜給你,你想學媽咪也堅持要用叉子吃,於是把一塊香瓜切成小丁狀讓你自己來,果然有模有樣,把碗裡的水果丁吃光光.
- 刷子刷玻璃:又是另一絕, 這話怎說?寶貝洗澡時,還不忘拿著刷子,刷乾濕分離的玻璃門, 她身高可及的高度的確被她刷的一乾二淨,很厲害唷!以後家裡的衛生股長就由你來擔任吧~
nanako 愛漂亮在家裡是出了名的,除了會挑自己要穿的衣服外, 也會坐定讓媽咪綁頭髮, 更在意自己的外表咧!上週有一天洗澡泡太久了泡到皮都皺了,寶貝發現拿著mic的右手皺皺的,舉起左手看也是皺的,不禁皺著眉頭一付難過的樣子,媽咪跟她解釋說手皺皺的是泡水泡太久了,去吹吹頭髮,待會就好了,我家女兒可是很在意自己美不美哪!

Nanko's absent (媽媽心情)
Sending Nanako and Mom to HST, they are heading to Tainan. Just 2 of us stand there to see of their back disappear in the crowd. It seems like a rehearsal for the 1st seperation between elder parents and their grown-up Kid. We, the parents, stand there to see her off but Nanako, my 14 months old daughter, is so exciting that she does not kiss goodbye to us & is eagerly to catch the train. Her attention is wholeheartedly focus on grandma's backpack. It's the most important thing in her eyes becasue it packs with cloths, bottles, and diappers. It's the one she cares most today. When grandma asked her to take a nap this afternoon, she demanded to take the backpack to living room, in this way, she can watch out when she was awake.
Just two of us tonight. It's dinner time, so we go to 2nd floor for dinning. No nanako's accompany, I ought to eat freely but I just can't get used to it... Once you are a mother, you'll never be have a single mind.... After that, Shawn shops for his suits as father's Day gift. I was extremely tired during his shipping because of lack of sleep past few nights.
Though, Nanako is just away 2 hrs, I started to miss her. My heart is lighten when I received her phone call, sister said 2 kids are very happy in this journey. Grandpa is happy too, i can tell that papa's juicy voice through the phone.
On our way home, I feel want to cry becasue of no nanako in car. Shawn talks to me and triesto distract my attention. When I was home, I had time to take a bath and to do facial mask (couple nights ago, I covered my face with facial mask, nanako saw it and cried bitterly because she was scared by the change on my face, so I was forced to tear off the mask immediately. ) Tonight, I can do whatever I want to do. Later, I got another call from papa. They put nanako to the phone and sing to me. Her singing is pretty beautiful. I can tell how happy they are in Luchu with grandparents. As for me, switching TV from this channel to that channel, I am tired but I just can't sleep at all.
Night is so long without my previous daughter..

閏月14 m ( 農曆)
喝奶時懷抱中的寶貝長長不少,加上現在行動自如,已經十足的小孩樣,不再只是一個小baby. 細數這個月的進展:
- 奶:
1.母奶: 白天一次 + 晚上
2.配方奶 110ml*2~3: 泡一罐兩姊妹喝,寶貝喝的少所以先喝再給寶寶喝,阿媽說如果給寶寶先喝都會喝過頭把貝貝份給喝掉,如果貝貝先喝,剩再多的寶寶也會喝光,為了調和過與不及,順序為nanako -> 多多寶. 試著晚上回家時也給寶貝為配方奶,..
- 唱歌:寶貝愛唱歌, 一天裡阿嬤總會安排一小時左右的時間讓兩姊妹唱歌跳舞,練就了nanako的好歌喉, 現在只要要求她唱歌,她就會煞有其事的拖長音唉個兩三句.
- 小幫手:寶貝對於這個稱呼非常的滿意,也確實真的是好幫手.
- 現在會幫忙照顧妹妹遞茶水拿奶瓶奶嘴之外,
- 會幫阿嬤拍拍按摩, 學大咪拿工具幫阿媽刮沙
- 還可以請她把地上的東西撿起來
- 大咪與阿媽彼鄰而坐時,會拿大咪的手放在阿媽的肩上,意思是要大咪幫阿嬤按摩,另一手也不可以閒著,要大咪的另一手按摩阿嬤的大腿,哈哈,真有意思.
- 此外,還會學阿公幫阿嬤捏腳的姿勢,幫媽咪捏捏腳,像不像都有三分樣!
- 爸把回家會幫忙拿拖鞋幫把把穿上,媽咪戲稱她為最稱職的小老婆!
- 基於懶人媽媽能不做就不動手的最高原則,現在開始養成寶貝物歸原位收拾東西的習慣,現在辛苦點教她,省去以後我得跟在她屁股後面收拾善後, 例如:東西用完歸位,水杯喝過後放回桌上,人離開房間時記得關電扇等等....!
- 洗頭用蓮澎頭沖洗,挺方便的寶貝的接受度良好.

Pressure on holiday
Recently, mom said that Nanako drinks formula milk. I bottle-feeded her with formula milk in mom's place twice. Yes, she drank approx. 50-60 ml each time. I am happy that she finally accepts formula milk. When weekend came, I brought some formula milk powder home and planned to feed her each morning becasue she dislike to eat toast and soft rice. This weekend, we tried formula milk as breakfast, she rejected to drank. It's wired that she drank it at mom's place, how come she doesn't drink it at home?
It's okay for lunch becasue we always ate out. However, if I make dinner, Nanako usually doesn't eat as much as she ate that Grandma cooked. I feel frustrated about it. What on earth you're going to eat?
Besides frustration, I am stressful. Each Monday morning, I am scared to hear mom said: Oh my god, how come Nanako lost weight over weekend? how come her face is smaller than last Friday? Did you starve your daughter? Well, she's just no feel to eat at home.
Damn it, Submit paper..
I took a day off and took MRT to Tamkang Univ. When I went to our department and told the lady: " I am going to run the process today," she looked at me wiredly. She said:" I do not except that you'll come today." What did she mean? Well, she meant to say that there's lot of shit things that will happen before you get your degree.
First is to combine all paper in one pdf file, insert watermark as background, and upload. They said I can finished it at home. When they checked okay, they'll send a notice to me for allowing me to print out my thesis and make copies. Shit, why don't they mention it on email? I got a few problems. 1. I do not familiar with PDF system. 2. I don't know how to add watermark on to word file. 3. I can't do it at home because my computer did nto have pdf software. Since I already in school, I would better to fix it there. I tried several times to convert, but failed. When I asked them for help, they just told to follow instruction on website. The convert processing took me a morning and an afternoon. (I skip lunch in order to expedite). Till 3 o'clock, I finally converted all doc to pdf files and make these in one pdf file and upload. I ran to my department, and want the lady to check. The lady told me a piece of sad news: your page number did not match your content. Gee, no one told me that convert word to pdf, the format will change and now I kn0w it.. the page number will slight different, so it would be better recheck before uploading. Shit, Shit, Shit...................They suggest me to go back to library and redo all process... Start it all over again? yes, I have to because I did not save original document when all format are change to correct one. Gee, kill me that would be easier than done these shit things! I go back to library and tried but I can't complete before library was closed (they closed early in summer vocation).
So, I decided to eat something before taking bus. A rest and eating something will reflesh me. I order a bowl of noodle, the boss asked me to pay first, then I found that my bag is gone... Where? The WC? The department? Probably left it in library!! Godish... What have I done for myself? My ID, cashes, MP and cards are in that bag... What if someone took my bag? What if library was closed? All bad things came to my mind at once, what I could do was runing, runing, keep running. It had been 2 years for not running, I can't speed up any faster.. I found my foot were so heavy and I am so fat for not able to expedite my speed. When I finally reached the door of library, that door was still open. I ran into the library, and found my bag was safely stay stillness under the desk I sat. Well, what a close! Though I complete nothing and waste a day off, at least I did not lost anything, either!
After I went home and do some research about tools I need (software of PDF converter and adobe acrabat 7.0 professional), I finally get a comprehensive ideas about how to uploading my paper... I must be a slow learn because it took me a day off and afterward a lot of time on searching free software. But it's worthy. I learned pdf knowledgement, such as PDF redirect, and free trial of adobe acrabat 7.0 professional. It turned out to be interesting because these software will help on my jobs, too. Is it so hard to get a Master degree in each step?
LESSON: Must be well prepared for everything that you're going to do, otherwise, you're just wasting your time and money.

Hey Hey Taxi
nanako還是小baby的時候,我們攔過一台很台的taxi,阿伯穿Tee shirt短褲,發福皮膚黝黑,笑起有一口黃板牙,很台人卻很nice,車內擺了很多小公仔,看到nanako時,阿伯好開心,開著車不時回頭逗逗nanako,停紅燈時還從他的早餐袋子裡拿出一個新的小玩具送給nanako,當時,臉上被蚊子咬了好幾口的nanako,阿伯還安慰媽咪說:沒關係啦,做個記號,才不會抱錯.
也有開車時不停的講手機滿口英文單字的阿伯,好像投資事業做很大,開車只是隱瞞他的身分似的.也坐過"勸生公公"的計程車,一上車就開始對媽咪鼓吹"孩子多生幾個"的觀念,並以他媳婦生三個為例,對於養一個已經覺得很累的媽咪來說,呵呵...臉上不時浮現三條尷尬的黑線, 不知道該怎麼回應, 還有运將把車改裝成Karaokay,hi 5音響(車內環繞音響設備聲音真的很立體耶),歡迎乘客自行歡唱,還有唱歌很Pro的伯伯, 總的來說,大部分的台灣大車隊計程車司機都是穿帶整齊有禮貌顯的專業, 私人計程車則以服務親切,台北市計程車可說安全可靠!
今天,搭上一個音樂爷爷的車,媽咪遠遠的就注意到第三台計程車是空車,挥了揮手想搭他的車,有另一台超前,原本想只要有車都無所謂,沒想到超前的這台車也沒往我們這邊靠,因緣際會下搭上原本想搭的計程車,一上車,公公開口就說:人只要有好的念頭,每天都會過的很幸運,這時,媽咪心裡的OS:天阿!怎麼會搭上這種車?該不會是要跟我傳道或者要我去參加卡內基團體吧?幸好,不是!
公公說他很喜歡音樂,所以心思比較細膩,做事只要多用點心,收穫(這裡指載客)就會多, 沿路載客時他會細心觀察,哪些路人需要搭車,拿前面超車的計程車來說,他超前了但並沒有因此而獲利,因為他沒有用心去觀察哪些人真的要搭車,開計程車時多一點貼心的小舉動,例如:靠邊時往人行道靠一點,方便乘客上下車,這樣容易招來客人,又如過馬路時,讓行人先過不搶道,等他過馬路後,說不定他正好要搭車,因為你讓他先過,就搭上你的車. 公公還說,他還觀察臺北市計程車的尖峰時段大約8點開始,到10:30左右結束,於是他會利用11:00-2:00的時間去醫院當義工,當完義工後,稍做休息繼續載客,他說做完義工後,不僅心情好,連載客率都會提高,公公想講的觀念是要多做善事,為善最樂.媽咪覺得各行各業都是很重要的,尤其是服務業或者任何與人接觸的工作,做事要仔細的想一想怎麼做才能事倍功半?把事情做到恰如其分,當下,還要有一個愉快的心念才能持之以恆.
恰巧,媽咪最近看一本書有關音樂與學習的書,公公恰好開過音樂補習班,於是問他有關學音樂啟蒙的年齡,他說:鋼琴4歲就可以開始,以一星期2次每次20分鐘為準(建議上團體班,媽媽在旁陪伴),小提琴最好是6歲以後...可惜才剛聊,就到舅舅那裡了.
