五乘道 Five Levels of Life
五乘道 凡夫假有，散亂昏沉，迷茫生死，三界浮沉 聲聞入定，認滅為道，八萬劫後，原地再來 緣覺中觀，止觀相運，隨緣生死，智慧獨行 菩薩大悲，智慧緣行，層遞迴向，等妙同行 佛為究竟，一五五一，百花齊放，無盡所能 Five Levels of Life Ordinary people hold on to transient ownership, scattered and unaware, lost in life and death, floating passively in the three realms (desire, form, formless) Elementary practitioner abides in concentrations, falsely recognise annihiliation as enlightenment, and returns to as is after eons of time Intermediate practitioner…

The perfect state
There is none diligent, hardworking, and honest people who blame life. The perfect state, is not you never make mistake, but is when you never give up growth. Nobody could make you better, not even time and experience which are merely ingredients; what actually sustain your growth, is your strong will, cultivation, virtues, and your…

What happens during meditation?
Breath returns from forceful to natural. Mind sharpens to a point of focus. Energy retained from scattered wastefulness. Healing of body happens through its natural wisdom. Processing of mental content happens per ones level of consciousness. Body-mind returns to its highest balance for the moment.

Mindful Rejuvenation
Energy follows mind, when we follow the random emotions and thoughts, our life energy is disipated, and thus is the feeling of exhaustion afterwards. When bring back our attention to the moment prior to thought and emotions arising, stories die down and energy is retained. Such is the rejuvenating mechanism of mindfulness.

Why practice Qigong?
Qi, or Chi, is the vital life energy everyone possesses. It connects the mind and the body. When abundant and balanced, leads to health and clarity of mind, when depleted and imbalanced, pain and illness. Thus Qigong is a good supplement to mindfulness practice, which focuses primarily more on the mind. photo source: wikihow

七月
這世界到底有沒有鬼神？ 傳統中華文化是肯定的，雖然不會建議你胡亂來。 實質上，心物一元，心誠則靈。一般人沒有定力和覺力，所以覺知不到而已。 外國有沒有？ 當然也有，不過習俗信仰不同，所以出現時間和形式不同。 同人生有什麼關係？ 太上感應篇云：禍福無門，惟人自召；善惡之報，如影隨形。 召善神抑或惡神，善鬼抑或惡鬼，就要看我們的身口意行為了。 其實，每一刻都是七月，每一刻都是新年。

高手
一般人只看到治亂的英雄, 治病的明醫. 其實真正的高手是在亂象病象未發生之前, 已經平定了. 我們要學會欣賞高手, 和做高手. “一年四季春夏秋冬，我們身體及情緒的感覺也有春夏秋冬。 我再講個小事，跟我久了的同學就知道我有一個習慣，他們每天早上先把當天的氣象報告給我。最高多少度，最低多少度，今天是什麼濕度，知道了以後你就曉得穿衣服了。其實你要講養生之道，這些通通要注意。 從陰陽則生，逆之則死，從之則治，逆之則亂，反順為逆是謂內格。”所以你要懂陰陽四時這個法則，自己養生，調養、保養這個身體。如果違反了就會生病，內在出問題了。 是故聖人不治已病治未病，不治已亂治未亂，此之謂也。”這是中國上古的文化，醫道跟政治是一樣的，懂得政治的歷史上大名家，都懂得醫，因為都是醫學道理來的。所以“聖人不治已病治未病”，在沒有病的時候，有一點不對就先吃藥，先把它治好；等到已經生病再治已經晚了。 政治的道理也是一樣，天下大亂，你來平天下，不算有功勞；能夠使國家社會永遠不亂，這才是大政治家。看起來沒有功勞，其實功勞最大。這幾句話是中國文化的精華。” 南懷瑾 —《小言黃帝內經與生命科學》

欲愛情
欲，是以“我”為中心，其他人事物，只是用來滿足“我”和“我”所喜愛的色受想行識。能量水平125 愛，是以“他/她/它”為中心，為了“他/她/它”的幸福快樂，可以放下“我”。看媽媽對孩子的愛，寵物對主人的愛，從有條件到無條件的。能量水平500+ 情，欲很薄了，愛也由強烈的二元往來，轉化為整體的關注和思念。看親情，人情，覺悟有情。 有智慧，有定力，先有條件談情說愛。否則，是隨波逐流，不能持續的。

修行 Cultivation
家人囉嗦煩惱生，靜觀承擔任運消，解使結，便前行；同事爭功氣又生，折騰半天覺醒來，無一物，誰來爭；生活，就是修行。 Close ones complaint emotion rises, contemplate own surrender dissipate, knots untied, move forward; Colleagues fight credit qi arises, half day inflated but after rest, nothing there, who to fight; Life itself, is the cultivation ground.
