Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：財富/命運 Fortune (2-57)

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：財富/命運 Fortune (2-57) 問題：我的未來日記第一週第一篇的主題 抽牌：X 財富/命運 Fortune 翻過土的心田，挖到、找到了什麼？ 黃金、鑽石、藏寶箱還是黑石油！ https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/145062913 今日實現的小幸運 從那日幫觀世音菩薩慶生後，溫暖一直在我心中湧動。 想告訴大家，我看到了可愛優雅的觀世音菩薩金身。 在我的夢中，從停車場追隨著爸爸的背影，在抵達林口竹林山觀音寺的側門時，爸爸回眸看了看我，轉身，身影隱沒消失在雕龍碧樓的牆面。 爸爸知道我喜歡去竹林山觀音寺，所以他也會去觀音菩薩座前修行。 我是觀世音菩薩的乾女兒。 當觀世音菩薩金身從我面前經過時，瞬間，很想流淚，很想哭。 所以我好想跟大家說一說，我的感動，我的感觸，我的感傷。 前幾週獲得到一位朋友已離開近一年的消息。 我沉入了悲傷。 不捨、難過、不懂、難懂。 他，優秀又年輕，很不捨。 他，是可以聊聊天的朋友，很難過。 為何是他，不懂。 為何我覺得不應該是他，難懂。 因為這失落，想到了其他好久沒消息的朋友們。 大家好嗎？ 早上才想著要列張時間表，一一問候。 傍晚就有位朋友傳來訊息，「你有空嗎？」 馬上回應，「有。」「怎麼了？」 朋友說，「見面？」 很快應答，「沒問題。」換裝，馬上出發。 吃了晚餐，聊了許多話。 喝杯咖啡，說著彼此旅遊美麗的繁華。 春天的夜晚，迷人。 風，輕輕地吹。 花，幽然綻放。 香，沉秘優雅。 今日抽牌：財富/命運 Fortune 黃金手，握住了所有，繁華興盛皆在掌中 鋼鐵的意志，鑽石的璀璨，皇冠般的尊榮 命運之輪一直在轉動，命運？運命？ 黑財神在座上，鑽石灑滿在地上，財富紛紛朝你湧上來。 木星落背上，資源與機會如雙磁力，創造及成果是具體。 曾看過分享富人如何教育小孩的文章。 其中有一部分是寫〝食物〞。 關於〝食物〞需要學習什麼？ 當令的新鮮，當地的美味。 還有嗎？ 原來，富人教導孩子如何品嚐人間美味，並告知，若想要常有機會享受這類美食，努力，學習，認真與付出都是基本的。 富人運用享受美好的事情當作孩子學習的動能。 而一般家庭的思考有可能是，怕一旦孩子吃過了美食，就無法再吃平時的粗茶淡飯。 思維不同，影響與成就也就不同。 唯有打開視野，拉高眼界，孩子才更能體認，天外還有天的遼闊，人外還有人的謙遜。 於是，目標如何設定，也就很重要。 所設的目標太高，不切實際，但設得平庸，又毫無興趣。 如何設定目標，這也是一項學習。 原本以為的簡單，其實一點都不簡單。 我們的思維是不是要改變。 盡己之力去拚搏，明知險境亦不畏虎 嘿！知道自己到底在追尋什麼嗎？ 契機已來到，如何運用？怎麼用？ 我們看著鬥牛士的勇猛，要如何學習鬥牛士的智慧與敏捷？ 鬥牛，如此高風險的工作，為何依然有人願意且熱愛這樣的工作？ 我們知道了什麼？ 我們又懂了什麼？ 「財富如糞土，仁義值千金。」 「舜視棄天下，猶棄敝屣也。」 你視為珍寶，他人未必？ 他人喜歡的重中之重，你則不然。 為何？ 有人求仁。 有人求名。 有人求財。 有人求平安。 財富，可是有形，可為無形。 財富，又豈止是指金銀財寶，千金白銀如此簡單。 歲歲年年，曾經苦苦追求的，也會有所改變。 人間清醒，無懼迷茫。 Alyson's 3/31 Tarot: Fortune (2-57) Question: Theme of the first week's first entry in my future diary Card drawn: Fortune What did I unearth, dig up, find after turning over the soil of my heart? Gold, diamonds, a treasure chest, or black crude oil! Today's realized small fortune: Ever since the celebration for Guanyin Bodhisattva's birthday that day, warmth has been surging in my heart. I want to tell everyone, I saw the adorable and graceful golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva. In my dream, I followed my father's figure from the parking lot, and when we reached the side gate of Guanyin Temple in Linkou Zhulin Mountain, my father glanced back at me, turned around, and his figure disappeared into the wall of the carved dragon pavilion. My father knew I liked to go to Guanyin Temple in Zhulin Mountain, so he would also go there to practice in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva. I am the adopted daughter of Guanyin Bodhisattva. When the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by me, I felt like crying instantly, so I really want to share with everyone my emotions, my feelings, my sadness. A few weeks ago, I received news that a friend had been gone for nearly a year. I sank into sadness. Unwillingness, sadness, incomprehension, difficulty in understanding. He, outstanding and young, I am unwilling. He was a friend I could chat with, I am sad. Why him, I don't understand. Why do I feel it shouldn't be him, hard to understand. Because of this loss, I thought of other friends I hadn't heard from in a long time. How is everyone? I just thought this morning about making a schedule to greet each one. In the evening, a friend sent a message, "Are you free?" I responded immediately, "Yes." "What's up?" The friend said, "Wanna meet?" I quickly replied, "No problem." Changed clothes and headed out immediately. Had dinner, talked a lot. Had a cup of coffee, talking about our beautiful past travels. Spring nights are charming. The wind blows gently. Flowers bloom quietly. Fragrance, deep and elegant. Today's drawn card: Fortune The golden hand holds everything, prosperity and glory are in hand. The will of steel, the brilliance of diamonds, the honor like a crown. The wheel of fortune keeps turning, fortune? Destiny? The God of Wealth is seated, diamonds scattered on the ground, wealth pouring towards you. Jupiter falls on your back, resources and opportunities like dual magnets, creating and achieving are tangible. I once read an article about how rich people educate their children. Part of it is about "food." What should you learn about "food"? Freshness of the season, local delicacies. Anything else? It turns out that wealthy people teach their children how to taste the delicacies of the world, and they tell them that effort, learning, seriousness, and dedication are all basic if they want to have the opportunity to enjoy such food frequently. Wealthy people use enjoying good things as an incentive for children to learn. The thinking of ordinary families may be that once children have tasted delicacies, they won't be satisfied with plain food anymore. Different thinking leads to different influences and achievements. Only by broadening your horizons can children truly understand the vastness of the world beyond, and the humility of humanity beyond. So, how to set goals is also important. If the goals set are too high, unrealistic, but set too mediocre, there is no interest. How to set goals is also a learning process. What was originally thought to be simple is actually not simple at all. Do we need to change our way of thinking? Do your best to strive, knowing the danger yet fearing no tiger. Hey! Do you know exactly what you're pursuing? The opportunity has come, how to use it? How? We watch the bravery of the matador, how to learn the wisdom and agility of the matador? Bullfighting, such a high-risk job, why are there still people willing to do it and love it? What have we learned? What do we understand? "Wealth is like dung, goodness is worth more than gold." "Shun regarded the world as abandoned, as if he had abandoned old shoes." What you regard as treasures, others may not? What others prioritize may not be the same for you. Why is that? Some seek kindness. Some seek fame. Some seek wealth. Some seek peace. Wealth, tangible and intangible. Wealth, not just referring to gold and silver treasures, simplicity can be worth its weight in gold. Year after year, what we once pursued may change. Awake in the world, unafraid of confusion. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Change

2024 0426 今日塔羅：慈悲 Compassion

2024 0426 今日塔羅：慈悲 Compassion 你是嚴格對待自己的人嗎？ 你是嚴肅要求他人的人嗎？ 你是凡事都認真看待的人嗎？ 你是每句話都在心裡牢牢記著的人嗎？ 當你沒達到自己設定的目標時，你有什麼感受？第一個冒出來的心情是哪一種？是否會分析失敗的原因？這樣的失敗又讓你如何看待自己？ 生自己的氣？ 對自己感到失望？ 當這麼多的負面情緒與想法在腦袋裡亂竄的時候，是否曾有過一絲絲的溫柔閃過？是否曾有想告訴自己一些體己話，「你做得很棒」，「你已盡了最大的努力」。 慈悲，我們會給予長者，給予弱者，給予父母，給予小孩，給予朋友。 慈悲，我們最常忘記給予自己。 在過去拼命的工作生涯中，當有臨時狀況發生的時候，我常會苛責自己，覺得自己能力太差，思慮粗糙，沒有事先設想好可能會發生的所有情況。 於是，在每次的專案活動結束後，我總是將剛結束的相關資料再翻閱一次，並將下次可注意的事情寫完整。 然後，在電腦資料夾裡預設一個下次類似專案的資料夾，裡面存放著我現在對於未來一年後類似活動的預設計劃草稿。 可能就是因為如此在那幾年裡我的身體每半年崩垮掉一次，每次需長達一週以上的時間才能慢慢恢復。 這幾天的身體和心理狀況，很是糟糕，無法進食，連藥粉或者是藥水，身體都會自主排斥的無法吞嚥，還會因過度抗拒而吐，體力更是無法支撐，只能昏睡。 多年後，我放過自己，離開了那個高壓的工作環境。 之前的嚴重內耗，身體反撲得厲害。 需付出的代價，直到今日仍未還清。 苦不堪言，也只能自己承受。 這真是自作虐，就難活的清爽自在。 看著身邊的朋友們，好多人對自己的要求始終都很高。 小說寫著霸道總裁總是很高、很帥、很冷漠，不管是哪項都是”很”這個最高等級。 現實生活中，在職場上，靠著自己拚到一個位置的人，都是很認真、很賣命、很勞碌，也是哪項都是”很”這個等級。 還會被要求高情商、高度協調、高度配合、高度抗壓、高度耐操。 看著社會上那麼多人拚著命，賣著健康的努力，也沒什麼事發生，自己也會是那個幸運兒吧。 可，誰又能保證誰不會是那個”萬中選一”的呢？ 在你的心中，你認為「慈悲」是什麼？ 你如何看待「慈悲」？ 在悲傷的時刻，還能惦記到別人的好，這是共情，是體貼，也是一種慈悲。 倘若在憤怒之際，怒火要噴天時，突然想到對方過去的貼心和彼此間曾有過的笑容，瞬間冷靜下來了，我覺這是一種對他人和對自己的慈悲。 我覺得若眼前的人是曾經欺侮過你，辜負過你的人，懇求你的協助和放下昔日的糾葛，而你，放下了，也放過了，這不只是慈悲；若用這幾年的網路小說用詞，這是聖母神佛層級的大愛，我自認為做不到。 領航者塔羅對於『慈悲』這張牌是這樣認為的 ~ 在愛的世界裡，你是善於為愛注入溫暖和祥和能量的，有你在的場子，大家都會感受到和樂和喜悅。 總是有強大的共情力和同理心，在你的心中及懷抱裡，總是有更多的諒解與更多的寬容。 慈悲有著一隻黃金佛手印，這手印賦予著抽到牌的人，運用慈愛、療癒力及安定力量，去協助與療癒跟你請求指引的人。 因為心懷慈悲，心胸寬大，財運總是會跟隨著善良的人。 財富，範圍不是只有金錢與俗稱的財產，還有許多非具體或實際的。 常有機緣與陌生之人有場愉快的邂垢，就是一種美好的財富。 佛教認為「慈悲」是複合詞，由四無量心的「慈」與「悲」合成，其意義相近。 在網路上看到一位佛教宗師對於「慈悲」的講解，與我內心的以為很是貼近。 「慈悲，原是佛教用語，拆開來看，「慈」是把快樂給人，「悲」是拔一切眾生苦。眾生有苦，我們幫助他解決，帶給他快樂，這個心就叫「慈悲心」。金菩提宗師教導大家：「真正的慈悲就是特別的愛，就像母親呵護孩子一樣的精神特質，包含關懷、包容、真誠、愛心，還有一顆善解人意之心。」慈悲所產生的愛是非常廣博的，他對所有生命都心懷慈悲，從自然界中的山川、河流、鮮花、動物，到任何需要幫助的人，都具有一種憐憫、慈悲之心。」 基督教 「慈悲是讓一個人得到比他應得的還更寬容的對待。 透過耶穌基督的贖罪，才可能有慈悲。 我們的天父知道我們有弱點和罪。 祂寬恕我們的罪，幫助我們回去與祂同住，這就是慈悲的表現。」 不管是哪一種信仰，或是沒有任何信仰。 我覺「慈悲」，是從小我，小愛出發，懂得愛自己的人，不須提醒，自然能夠覺察到別人的用心和難處，會因理解、體諒而溫柔。 慈悲就如同”善”，像漣漪一圈一圈擴散了出去，永不停歇。 資料來源：金菩提宗師 https://www.jinbodhi.org/79729/ Today's Tarot: Compassion Are you someone who holds yourself to strict standards? Are you demanding of others? Do you take everything seriously? Do you hold onto every word spoken? When you don't reach your set goals, how do you feel? What's the first emotion that surfaces? Do you analyze the reasons for failure? How does such failure make you see yourself? Do you get angry with yourself? Do you feel disappointed? Amidst the chaos of so many negative emotions and thoughts swirling in your mind, have you ever felt a hint of tenderness? Have you ever wanted to tell yourself some comforting words like "You did great" or "You've done your best"? Compassion, we give it to elders, to the weak, to parents, to children, to friends. Compassion, the one we often forget to give to ourselves. During my years of relentless work, whenever unexpected situations arose, I often blamed myself, feeling inadequate and poorly prepared, failing to anticipate all possible scenarios. So, after every project, I would review the relevant materials and jot down things to pay attention to next time. Then, I would create a folder in my computer for similar future projects, storing drafts of plans for activities similar to what I had just finished. Perhaps because of this, my body collapsed every six months during those years, taking over a week each time to slowly recover. These past few days, my physical and mental condition has been terrible, unable to eat, unable to swallow even powdered medicine or liquid without my body rejecting it, even vomiting due to excessive resistance, and my strength unable to sustain me, only able to fall into a deep sleep. Years later, I forgave myself and left that high-pressure work environment. The severe internal strain from before led to a strong backlash from my body. The price to pay, still not fully settled until today. It's unbearable, but I have to endure it myself. It's truly self-inflicted suffering, making it difficult to live comfortably and freely. Looking at my friends around me, so many of them have high demands on themselves. Novels depict dominant CEOs as tall, handsome, and aloof, everything being "very" to the highest degree. In real life, those who rise through the ranks in the workplace through their own efforts are very serious, hardworking, and diligent, also embodying "very" in every aspect. They are also expected to have high emotional intelligence, high coordination ability, high cooperation, high resistance to pressure, and high endurance. Seeing so many people in society striving and sacrificing their health without much happening, could I also be one of the lucky ones? But who can guarantee that one won't be the "one in a million"? In your heart, what do you think "compassion" is? How do you view "compassion"? In moments of sadness, being able to remember the good in others is empathy, thoughtfulness, and also a form of compassion. If in anger, when the flames are about to erupt, suddenly remembering the intimacy of the past and the smiles shared, instantly calming down, I think this is a form of compassion for both others and oneself. If the person in front of you is someone who has once mistreated you, disappointed you, and now seeks your help and forgiveness, and you, being able to let go and forgive, this is not just compassion; in terms of the internet novels of recent years, this is a level of great love akin to a saint or a deity, something I believe I couldn't achieve. According to the Navigator Tarot, this card "Compassion" is seen as follows ~ In the world of love, you are adept at infusing warmth and peaceful energy into love. Wherever you are, everyone will feel joy and happiness. You always possess strong empathy and compassion. In your heart and arms, there is always more understanding and tolerance. Compassion bears a golden Buddha's palm imprint. This imprint endows the one drawing the card with the ability to use love, healing, and stabilizing power to assist and heal those who seek guidance from you. Because of compassion and generosity, wealth always follows the kind-hearted. Wealth, its scope is not limited to just money and material possessions, there are also many intangible or abstract forms. There are often opportunities to have pleasant encounters with strangers, which is a kind of beautiful wealth. In Buddhism, "compassion" is a compound word, composed of the "loving-kindness" (maitri) and "compassion" (karuna) of the Four Immeasurables, with similar meanings. I saw an explanation of "compassion" by a Buddhist master on the internet, which resonated deeply with my inner thoughts. He said: "Compassion, originally a Buddhist term, when broken down, 'loving-kindness' is giving happiness to others, and 'compassion' is alleviating the suffering of all beings. When beings suffer, we help them solve their problems and bring them happiness. This heart is called 'compassionate.' Master Jin Bodhi teaches us: 'True compassion is a special kind of love, like the spirit of a mother caring for her child, including caring, tolerance, sincerity, love, and understanding of others.' The love generated by compassion is very extensive, with compassion for all life, from the mountains and rivers of the natural world, to flowers, animals, and any people in need, having a heart of compassion and mercy." In Christianity, "Compassion" is treating someone more leniently than they deserve. Compassion is only possible through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Our Father knows our weaknesses and sins. He forgives our sins and helps us return to dwell with Him, which is the expression of compassion. Regardless of the faith, or lack thereof, I believe "compassion" starts from loving oneself and understanding oneself, without needing reminders, naturally able to perceive others' intentions and difficulties, responding with gentleness due to understanding and empathy. Compassion is like "goodness," spreading out like ripples, never ceasing. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Compassion

Alyson’s 4/06 Tarot：滋養 孕育 Nurturing (8-57)

Alyson’s 4/06 Tarot：滋養 孕育 Nurturing (8-57) 問題：我4/05的未來日記主題 抽牌：滋養 孕育 Nurturing 今天早晨自然清醒後的第一個思緒是，今天是幾月幾號？現在是幾點？ 第二個思緒是，我今天到底有什麼事情嗎？ 我的生活早已沒了工作日或休假日的差別。 除非有特地安排事情，只有在寫每日塔羅牌時，會因每日抽到的牌卡不同而需要思考不同主旨的書寫，不然每一天都像是複製日，沒有太大差別。 對於今天的「未來日記」，說真的，我沒有任何的頭緒。 在家的時光，通常沒有特別的事情，要如何用”過去式”去寫今日的日記呢。 可不積極找事情，就會開天窗。 我猶豫不已。 午後，朋友群組裡有朋友說想進行塔羅讀牌。 哇！這是昨晚的心想事成嗎？ https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/145655725 昨天晚上我有想到，如果塔羅讀牌可以開張，也許有機會啟動我這方面的事業。 雖然我完全不積極，且也沒有計畫何時開始，如何開始，怎麼開始自己的事業。 過去幾個月，就是嘴巴喊喊，每天抽塔羅牌，閱讀塔羅牌，設計心情紀錄卡，寫讀牌和衍伸的想法。 有時候我們面臨膠著的，不知還能怎麼努力才能打破僵局時，就會盼望著有股外力來個衝擊。 最好是往正向扯過去的拉力，這樣就能啟動磁場開始轉動。 機會滾輪就也開始運轉，好機會就會來降臨。 “滋養/孕育”是很深奧又美好的涵義。 今日”善的種子”種植下去，有些會經過刻意的培育或給予滋養，有些就是自然地不刻意耕耘，我們無法預料哪日會以什麼形式，在哪裡收成。 我總警惕自己別犯錯，別對不住人，別欺負人。 過去在我腦袋空乏的時候，曾被多人鄙棄，瞧不起，認為我是寄生蟲，只會依賴著他們。 其實，我並沒有想太多。 那時的我認為因那些事情我不擅長，也不懂，不要給予過多意見和想法。 有人願意主導，有人負責協助，無法幫忙的人就是跟隨。 我從來未曾預料到一開始說好願意讓我跟隨的話語，只是說說而已。 我的”無意見跟隨”，造成別人的累贅，可那時的我是不知悉的。 我後來知道原來那是客氣的語言，這就又是我不懂的另一個層面。 朋友間，喜不喜歡，要不要，肯不肯，直說無妨，何須繞這麼多彎。 加上那幾年的我沒有心思和心力注意。 讓人不喜歡了，自己都不知道。 唉！何苦如此。 從那以後，這塊友誼田地，我就沒再積極培育和經營。 因為我深深得明白，一片土壤裡滿是玻璃、石頭、碎石和垃圾，是無法培養出好事情。 需要磨合的不是只有愛情，友情不也是需要。 人的心力就只有哪樣多。 人的一生有多綿長？ 這種時候就是要聰明一些，將心力和愛澆灌在會有回饋你的土地上。 就如同農夫，在種植前，會先評估過那片土地是否肥沃，是否合適。 弱水三千，只取一瓢。 要讓你的愛，獨特一點。 偏愛，很可愛。 交付錯了心，那就趕緊停損，止損。 別被不甘心、不甘願給迷惘傷痕累累的靈魂。 寧願自己抱頭痛哭，也不要自我作賤，貶低自己如塵埃。 我們的滋養。 我們的孕育。 我們的心意。 我的的愛情。 只灌溉在兩相奔赴的關係裡。 沒有什麼是無悔。 沒有什麼是無怨。 寫到這裡，可以確定的是與「未來日記」完全離題。 可，與今日塔羅「滋養/孕育」有著直接關係。 回歸正題。 我今日，若有發生美好的事情，那是過去花費心思滋養孕育的因。 我這一世，這種時候可以多些任性，也許是我累積好多世修習，孕育後得來的果。 當我們羨慕時，可想想，自己曾付出過什麼。 當我們埋怨時，也想想，自己可曾付出過什麼。 當我們被羨慕時，再想想，自己曾付出過什麼。 當我們被嫌棄時，需想想，自己可曾付出過什麼。 種植、滋養、孕育，日後方有果。 天生福報多的，有自然給予。 天生福報較少的，那就自己種植，自己耕耘、培育、滋養。 而我今天的「滋養孕育」牌與這週的「改變」主題牌是如何串聯在一起的。 我想，很大的可能性是，我從〝改變〞為基本調去思考”滋養與孕育”。 我太過重情，對於失落、失去，心裡總會有想要強留的勉強，常把自己搞得心糟糟，淚淌不停。 這幾個禮拜我一直持續不斷學習〝道別〞，學習接受道別後的空虛，學習接受道別後，就真的是翻篇與想念。 我也從心裡調整。 道別，讓對方放心啟程離去。 道別，讓自己的心安住安定。 Alyson's 4/06 Tarot: Nurturing Question: My theme for the future diary on 4/05 Card drawn: Nurturing The first thought upon waking naturally this morning was, "What day is it today? What time is it?" The second thought was, "Do I have anything to do today?" My life no longer distinguishes between weekdays and weekends. Unless there are specific arrangements, each day feels like a replica, with little difference. As for today's "future diary," to be honest, I have no clue. Time spent at home usually involves nothing special. How do I write today's diary entry in the past tense without actively seeking activities? Without proactive engagement, one tends to drift. I hesitate. In the afternoon, a friend in a group chat expressed a desire to do tarot readings. Wow! Did my wish from last night come true? Last night, I pondered that if tarot readings could kick off, perhaps there's a chance to kickstart my career in this area. Although I'm not proactive at all and have no plans for when, how, or where to start my own business. For the past few months, it's just been lip service, drawing tarot cards every day, reading tarot cards, designing mood cards, and writing about readings and related ideas. Sometimes when we're stuck and don't know how to break the deadlock, we hope for an external force to make an impact. It's best to pull towards positive forces from the past, so the magnetic field can start to spin. The wheel of opportunity starts turning, and good opportunities come knocking. "Nurturing" is a profound and beautiful concept. Today, planting the seeds of kindness, some will undergo deliberate nurturing or nourishment, while others will naturally flourish without deliberate cultivation. We can't predict when or in what form we will reap the harvest. I always caution myself not to make mistakes, not to wrong others, not to bully others. In times of mental emptiness in the past, I was often ridiculed by many, looked down upon, considered a parasite who only relied on them. In reality, I didn't think much about it. Back then, I thought that because I wasn't good at or didn't understand those things, I shouldn't offer too many opinions or thoughts. Some are willing to lead, some are responsible for assisting, and those who can't help just follow. I never anticipated that the words agreeing to let me follow in the beginning were just talk. My "unopinionated compliance" became a burden to others, but I was unaware at the time. Later, I realized that it was polite language, another aspect I didn't understand. Among friends, whether you like it or not, whether you want to or not, it's okay to speak directly without beating around the bush. And during those years, I didn't have the mental energy or focus to notice. If someone didn't like me, I didn't even know it. Oh, why bother? Since then, I haven't actively nurtured or cultivated this friendship territory. Because I deeply understand that a soil full of glass, stones, gravel, and garbage cannot cultivate anything good. It's not just love that needs adjustment; friendship does too. Human energy is limited. How long is a person's life? At times like these, one must be wise and pour their energy and love into the land that will give back. Just like a farmer, before planting, they evaluate whether the land is fertile and suitable. Of the myriad waters, only a drop is taken. Let your love be unique. Partiality is lovely. If you invest in the wrong heart, quickly cut losses. Don't let a confused soul burden you with reluctance and uncertainty. Better to cry with your head held high than to degrade yourself like dust. Our nurturing. Our cultivation. Our intentions. My love. They're only nourished in mutually committed relationships. There's nothing to regret. There's nothing to resent. Writing to this point, it's clear that it's completely off-topic from the "future diary." But it's directly related to today's tarot card, "Nurturing." Back to the point. If something wonderful happens to me today, it's because of the nurturing and cultivation efforts I've made in the past. In this life, I can afford to be a little more willful at times, perhaps because of the accumulated merits from many lifetimes of cultivation. When we envy, think about what we have sacrificed. When we complain, also think about what we have sacrificed. When we are envied, think again about what we have sacrificed. When we are despised, we need to think about what we have sacrificed. Planting, nurturing, and cultivating lead to fruit in the future. For those naturally blessed, they receive without effort. For those with fewer blessings, they need to plant, cultivate, and nurture themselves. And how does today's "Nurturing" card relate to this week's theme of "Change"? I think there's a high possibility that I've shifted my focus from "Change" to "Nurturing." I'm too emotionally attached, always wanting to cling on to what's lost. This often leaves me feeling miserable, with tears flowing endlessly. For the past few weeks, I've been continuously learning to "say goodbye," to accept the emptiness that comes after farewells, and to truly move on and stop longing. I've also adjusted from the heart. Goodbye, allowing the other person to depart with peace of mind.

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：皇后 Empress 讓我熱淚盈眶，讓我溫暖力量滿胸膛 讓我謙卑跪下，讓我平靜祥和又安康 焚香，仰頭，靜心，凝視 向您呼喚，不敢高喊 您沉默，您不理 您低眉看似俯瞰紅塵，也許看人們的前世今生 只要您在哪，那兒就是我的家，我歸屬的地方 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/145031173 生日快樂！觀世音菩薩 觀世音菩薩的聖誕日，我前往林口竹林山觀音寺幫觀音菩薩慶生，祝賀她的生日。 乾媽 ~ 我是神明的孩子 小時候非常羨慕哥哥和弟弟都有乾媽，我卻沒有。 曾問過媽媽，為何我沒有。 爸媽說，因為我小時候非常愛哭，又愛跟弟弟吵架，沒有大人喜歡我，沒有人想當我的乾爸或乾媽。 我在夜裡哭泣。 我覺得我很棒的呀！ 我太小了，不管是哭泣，或是因太愛哭被媽媽抱在懷裡睡覺的記憶。 羨慕現在的孩子，父母將他們成長，紀錄在相機裡，電腦裡，還有影片裡。 最後，觀世音菩薩成為了我的乾媽。 在我們的文化裡，許多與神明有緣分的孩子，會認神明做乾爸或乾媽。 我們是神明的孩子。 慶生 那天，我比原先預期的晚半個小時起床。 以前長輩和朋友們的睡眠是隨著年齡增長而遞減，我連這點都與眾不同，現在年紀多了，睡眠時間更長了。 沒有睡飽，無法清醒，頭會痛。 所以即使神識有點舒醒，但眼睛張不開，腦子無法運轉時，我就會繼續貪睡一下。 準備了水果，擺放在好看的竹籃裡，到時候就提著進廟裡，直接放在供桌就可以。 記得家裡在這樣的日子，媽媽會事先去買紅龜粿或壽桃這類中式糕點給神明慶生。 我想著自己愛吃的是蛋糕，於是就準備蛋糕。 直覺力 晚起，當天所有的時間都需往後延。 賴床時，腦海中曾閃過一個思緒，非常短暫，快得沒能抓住那訊息。 直到進入蛋糕店，聽著店家跟排在我前面的那位客人說，小型蛋糕已售完的話語，這時，早上沒能抓到的訊息，馬上連結到腦海，並清晰有了畫面與現在眼前發生的場景一樣。 我的直覺力慢慢得回來了，經過我散漫了六、七百天後，感動。 是觀世音菩薩和眾神明的庇佑。 祈禱與祝賀 取了六根香，在廟的右邊側門裡面有點香檯。 高舉點燃的香，然後從右邊側門走出。 走至天空爐前，頂禮，祈禱念詞，三拜。 將三根香插入廟大門正前方的香爐裡。 後退，頂禮，三拜。 從廟的左邊側門進入廟宇裡。 站在中心排，面向前方的神明佛像。 頂禮，祈禱念詞，三拜。 將手上還有的三根香插入前方香爐裡。 後退，雙掌合起，三拜。 從十幾年前，我前來廟宇，除了特別的三次以外，皆無任何的祈求。 第一次是請求指引工作選擇。 第二次是爸爸住院病危通知。 第三次是拜託照護奶奶爸媽。 今日目的是慶生，當然就是祝福生日快樂，然後國家安康。 小幸運，也是小福報 停車位 當我車子快接近廟宇附近的停車場時，前方塞車了。 將車子右轉，打算繞一圈，到後面馬路的停車格。 轉了一圈後，注意到原塞車的路口已無車，那就試試看，也許有比較近的停車位。 過了紅綠燈，馬上，右前方就有個停車格，還是最後一個。 就這樣輕易且順利將車停好。 供品位 進入廟宇，非常多人，供桌上滿滿的供品。 尋思要找空位擺放水果和蛋糕，走到白虎邊的第二排桌子，剛好看到有香客在收他們的供品。 超級幸運的呀！ 請他們慢慢來，我可以等一下時間的，沒關係的。 在這樣神聖的日子，許多人都面帶微笑與欣喜心前來。 我的竹籃和蛋糕盒，都是方型且盒子狀，可以疊起來擺放。 在這樣隆重日子，神明不會跟信徒、香客計較東西擺放是否有端正。 結緣品 第一次注意廟裡的活動情況，以前總是只有拜拜，沒有留意其他。 廟宇中間，出家師父們帶領信眾唱誦佛經。 正想往那裏靠近，突然聽到物品撒落的聲音，我趕緊前往協助撿拾。 以為是某信眾的供品，撿起來後才知道是中間師父們丟出來要送給有緣粉的信眾們的糖果。 我很幸運，撿到了兩顆。 在我不懂的情況下，不同的糖果繼續發送。 站在第一線的一位姐姐，突然轉身，將她手指攤開說，歡迎結緣，分享她掌中的糖果。 我拿了她的糖果，並用我撿到的另一種，送給這位姐姐，祝福她。 糖果繼續分送著。 我覺我有拿到兩種，已是非常幸運的事情，不須每一種都要拿到，更不須要拿到很多。 有好多人受到觀世音菩薩的協助，發送著還願品，跟大眾結善緣。 還有大悲咒水，經過觀世音菩薩的加持，回家加入飲用水，從身體內部，每一細胞都有著佛經的保護。 祈禱位 觀音菩薩聖誕日，廟宇的委員會請了師父前來唱誦佛經。 關於佛經，對我們來說很有距離，裡頭全是看不懂的梵文意思。 就如同基督教有讀聖經班，佛經也有讀經班，讓想要了解的人有機會可以研讀。 外圍發放著糖果餅乾，中間的唱誦佛經持續著，我站在一旁跟著頂禮，膜拜。 隨著師父唱誦的聲調，我的身體很輕鬆得輕微舞動。 那是讓我很沉浸的音律。 看到一位長輩也想頂禮膜拜，我側了身，讓她可以更為靠近一些。 我想，這也是一種志同道合吧。 在這樣近的距離，我與觀世音菩薩金身在同一個小空間裡，隨著唱誦聲音的流淌，我的心思只有佛經，只有當下。我的心中，溫柔燦燦。 回家 ~ 溫暖的溫柔 儀式告一段落。 觀世音菩薩的金身需要回到大殿之中。 這是第一次看到竹林山觀音寺觀世音菩薩的金身。 小小的，黑黑的，應是被長年鼎盛香火燻的。 原本想拿起手機拍攝或錄影。 在發現菩薩金身應該會經過身邊時，我一心只想好好看看菩薩，只想感受當下。 菩薩金身被人抱著朝我邊前進，我用右手跟觀音菩薩金身打招呼，輕聲對她說，『觀音菩薩，生日快樂。』 在菩薩金身從我眼前經過時，我瞬間熱淚盈眶，站在原地久久無法移身。 像是被光溫暖包裹著，擁抱著。 我像是被乾媽抱在懷中，她溫柔的撫慰我。 我在心中對觀世音菩薩說，我回來了。乾媽。 咖啡味 竹林寺大門旁的停車場邊邊開了一家小小咖啡廳。 一位年輕男孩的創業，裡面位置不多，也沒有洗手間。 我喜歡這地方的可愛，和老闆的親切。 詢問了併桌，獲得對方親和的回應。 老闆還記得我，我們聊了農曆春節他與廟宇如此近的距離，他的所見，所聞，所感，所想。 有時我們都需要像是朋友，可互相聊聊的人。 不熟悉但認識，這樣的淡淡，很好。 後記 離開了廟宇，將蛋糕分享給哥哥嫂嫂，分享給社區守衛和打掃大姊。 吃觀世音菩薩加持過的蛋糕，大家都平安，都沾染到溫暖的光。 回到自己的家中，想將慶生寫下紀錄，也想知道當觀世音菩薩經過我身旁時，她跟我說了什麼，讓我的高靈感動到情緒無法控制，即使過了一些時間，跟哥哥分享時，依然是想流淚，依然馬上紅眼眶。 塔羅抽到了『皇后Empress』。 我又哭了。 是媽媽。 張開雙手，等著我撲上前，抱著我。 是媽媽。 滋養孕育，等著我撲上前，餵飽我。 是媽媽。 溫暖守候，等著我撲上前，撫慰我。 是媽媽。 安慰支持，等著我撲上前，誇獎我。 是媽媽。 林口竹林山觀音寺： https://www.zlskyt.com.tw/ 紅龜粿： https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E7%B4%85%E9%BE%9C%E7%B2%BF 壽桃： https://www.klintainan.com/Goods/92 Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot: Empress Let my eyes brim with tears, let warm strength fill my chest, Let me kneel in humility, let me be serene, peaceful, and healthy, Burning incense, looking up, quieting my mind, gazing, Calling out to you, not daring to shout, You remain silent, you don't respond, With lowered brows, seemingly overlooking the mortal world, perhaps seeing people's past lives and present, As long as you are there, that's my home, the place I belong. Happy Birthday! Guanyin Bodhisattva On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I went to the Guanyin Temple in Linkou Zhulin Mountain to celebrate her birthday and offer my congratulations. Godmother ~ I Am a Child of the Deities When I was young, I envied my brothers for having godmothers while I didn't. I once asked my mother why. My parents said it was because I used to cry a lot and argue with my younger brother, and no adults liked me or wanted to be my godparents. I cried myself to sleep at night. I thought I was great! I was too young to remember whether it was crying or being cuddled to sleep by my mother because I cried too much. I envied today's children, whose parents record their growth in cameras, computers, and videos. Finally, Guanyin Bodhisattva became my godmother. In our culture, many children who are destined to have connections with deities recognize them as godparents. We are children of the deities. Celebration That day, I woke up half an hour later than I originally planned. In the past, the sleep of elders and friends decreased with age, but I was different. As I grew older, I slept longer. Without enough sleep, I couldn't stay awake, and my head would ache. So even if my consciousness was somewhat awake, if I couldn't open my eyes or my brain couldn't function, I would continue to indulge in sleep. I prepared fruits and arranged them in a beautiful bamboo basket to take them into the temple and place them directly on the altar when the time came. I remember that on such days, my mother would buy traditional Chinese pastries like red turtle cakes or longevity peaches to celebrate the deities' birthdays. Since I loved cakes, I decided to prepare a cake. Intuition Waking up late meant that everything for the day would be delayed. While lying in bed, a fleeting thought crossed my mind, so brief that I couldn't grasp the message. It wasn't until I entered the cake shop and heard the shopkeeper telling the customer in front of me that the small cakes were sold out that the morning's missed message instantly connected in my mind, vividly matching the scene happening before me. My intuition was slowly returning, which moved me after my absent-mindedness for six or seven hundred days. It was the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other deities. Prayer and Blessing I took six incense sticks. Inside the temple's right side door was an incense table. I raised the lit incense and walked out from the right side door. I walked to the sky furnace, paid respects, recited prayers, and bowed three times. Then, I inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner directly in front of the temple door. I stepped back, paid respects, and bowed three times. I entered the temple from the left side door. Standing in the center row facing the deity's statue in front, I paid respects, recited prayers, and bowed three times. Then, I inserted the remaining three incense sticks into the incense burner in front. I stepped back, clasped my hands together, and bowed three times. Since ten years ago, when I came to the temple, except for three special occasions, I had no requests during my visits. The first time was to seek guidance on job choices. The second time was when my father was hospitalized and critically ill. The third time was to ask for care for my grandparents. Today's purpose was to celebrate, of course, to wish for a happy birthday and the well-being of the country. Small Fortunes, Small Blessings Parking Space As my car approached the temple's parking lot, there was traffic ahead. I turned right, planning to go around and park in the parking spaces on the street behind. After making a circle, I noticed that the intersection where there was traffic before was now clear. So, I decided to try my luck and see if there was a closer parking space. After passing the traffic light, there was immediately a parking space on the right side, and it was the last one. So, I easily and smoothly parked my car. Offerings Entering the temple, there were many people, and the offering tables were full. I wondered where to find space to place the fruits and cake. I walked to the second row of tables on the side of the White Tiger and happened to see worshippers collecting their offerings. Super lucky! I asked them to take their time as I could wait. On such a sacred day, many people came with smiles and joy. My bamboo basket and cake box were both square and box-shaped, so they could be stacked and placed. On such an important day, the deities wouldn't mind how neatly offerings were placed by the worshippers and visitors. Bonds It was the first time I paid attention to the activities in the temple. Before, I only prayed without paying attention to anything else. In the middle of the temple, the ordained masters led the worshippers in chanting sutras. Just as I was about to approach them, I suddenly heard the sound of items being scattered. I hurried over to help pick them up, thinking they were offerings from worshippers. Only after picking them up did I realize they were candies thrown by the masters in the middle to be given to worshippers who were destined to receive them. I was very lucky to pick up two. Without understanding why, different candies continued to be distributed. A sister standing in the front suddenly turned around, opened her hand, and welcomed me to share the candies in her palm. I took her candy and gave her the other one I picked up, wishing her well. The candies continued to be distributed. I felt lucky to have picked up two kinds, which was already a very fortunate thing. There was no need to have every kind or to have many. Many people received help from Guanyin Bodhisattva, offering their gratitude and forming good karma with others. There was also the water blessed with the Great Compassion Mantra, which, when consumed at home, protected every cell of the body with the sutras. Prayer Space On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the temple committee invited masters to chant sutras. The sutras were distant to us, filled with Sanskrit meanings we couldn't understand. Just as Christianity has Bible study classes, there are also sutra study classes for those who wish to understand. Candies and cookies were distributed on the periphery, while the chanting of sutras continued in the middle. I stood aside, paying respects and worshiping along. With the tones of the master's chanting, my body relaxed slightly, swaying gently. It was a melody that immersed me deeply. Seeing an elder wanting to pay respects, I stepped aside to let her get closer. I thought, this is also a kind of mutual understanding. At such a close distance, I and the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva were in the same small space. Flowing with the chanting, my mind was filled only with the sutras, only with the present moment. My heart was warm and radiant. Going Home ~ Warm Gentleness The ceremony came to a close. The golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva needed to return to the main hall. It was the first time I had seen the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva at the Zhulin Mountain Guanyin Temple. It was small and dark, likely imbued with the incense smoke of many years. I had initially thought of taking out my phone to capture or record it. However, when I realized that the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva would pass by me, I focused solely on observing her, just wanting to feel the present moment. As the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was carried towards me, I greeted her with my right hand and softly said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, happy birthday." As the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by me, tears welled up in my eyes instantly, and I stood there unable to move for a long time. It felt like being enveloped in warm light, embraced. It was as if I were being hugged by my godmother, her gentle comfort soothing me. In my heart, I said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "I'm back, godmother." Coffee Flavor Next to the parking lot by the gate of the Zhulin Temple, there was a small coffee shop. It was started by a young man, with limited seating and no restroom. I liked the quaintness of this place and the friendliness of the owner. I asked to share a table and received a friendly response. The owner remembered me, and we talked about the proximity of the Lunar New Year to the temple, sharing perspectives and experiences. Sometimes, we all need someone to chat with, even if we're not familiar but acquainted. Such light connections are nice. Afterthought Leaving the temple, I shared the cake with my brother, sister-in-law, community guards, and the cleaning lady. Eating the cake blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, everyone was safe and bathed in warm light. Back at home, I wanted to write down the celebration and also find out what Guanyin Bodhisattva said to me as she passed by, which moved me to uncontrollable emotions. Even after some time had passed, I still felt like crying when I shared it with my brother, with tears in my eyes. I drew the Tarot card "Empress" again. And I cried. It was my mother. With open arms, waiting for me to rush into them, embracing me. It was my mother. Nurturing and feeding me, waiting for me to come to her. It was my mother. Warmly waiting, ready to comfort me when I rush to her. It was my mother. Offering solace and support, waiting for me to approach, ready to praise me. It was my mother.
