2024 0704 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress

2024 0704 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress 今天的心情很是矛盾。 收到前些時日在工作上遇到瓶頸的朋友回覆，她說，現在的情況發展驗證了當初塔羅抽牌及我的塔羅閱讀。 我為了提供給尋求塔羅指引的朋友們能有更為詳盡的訊息，每一位抽塔羅的人，都有詳盡的閱讀內容解析。 所以，尋求我塔羅抽牌的人，皆可隨時驗證我的閱讀與事實發展情況之吻合或差異。 今天的塔羅是『皇后』。 皇后是地球，是大地之母，是能量的來源，是呵護我們的溫暖能量。 母愛式的孕育、滋養，相處過程中的溫暖、愛、物質，讓人感到妥妥的安全感和滿滿的保障。 想想，今天有什麼事情讓你有這樣的感觸和滿足。 當你闖禍時，在事情還未清楚的狀況下，你家的長輩是護短？還是先責備自己家的小孩？ 說來可惜，我的父母過去總是先責備自家的小孩。 一來，他們覺得夠了解自己家的孩子，我的頑皮是確實的，我的衝動行事也是確實的。 所以有衝突，有很大的可能是自家的孩子。 二來，他們覺得自己先責罰了自家的孩子，對方比較會放過較真，也許我受到的處罰就會輕一些，自家人處罰總是比較好控制處罰的力道，不至於真的傷害到孩子。 可，我的父母忘記了一件事情，在外，我是個好寶寶，不會做出讓他們為難，丟臉的事情呀。 我感受到的大地之母，蠻多時候，苛責和要求多過鼓勵，責念教訓多過支持。 請擁有大地之母的能量的你們，在表達擔心的心思與情緒時，要多加留意表達的方式與態度。 一念之差，一動之別，天堂與地獄，感動與怨怪。 今天的我自己奉行了大地之母的「維護」法則，先照顧好自己。 自己保守好了，也就有腦力、精力書寫文字，並分享。 擁有孕育能力的你，也請守護好自己，守護好想守護的人。 2024/07/04 Today's Tarot: The Empress Today, my feelings are quite contradictory. I received a response from a friend who recently encountered a bottleneck at work. She said that the current situation has validated the tarot card reading and my interpretation from before. To provide my friends seeking tarot guidance with more detailed information, each person who draws a tarot card receives a comprehensive reading analysis. Therefore, those who seek my tarot readings can always verify the alignment or differences between my readings and the actual developments. Today's tarot card is "The Empress." The Empress is the Earth, the Mother Earth, the source of energy, the warm energy that nurtures us. Motherly nurturing, nourishment, warmth, love, and material comfort in our interactions make people feel secure and fully assured. Think about what has given you such feelings and satisfaction today. When you make a mistake, do your elders protect you or blame their own child before the situation is clear? Unfortunately, my parents always blamed their own child first. Firstly, they believed they knew their own child well enough—my mischief and impulsive actions were indeed real. So, if there was a conflict, it was highly likely their child was involved. Secondly, they thought that by punishing their own child first, the other party would be more lenient, and I might receive lighter punishment. Family punishment is always more controllable and less harmful. However, my parents forgot one thing: outside, I am a good child who wouldn't do anything to embarrass them. The Mother Earth I felt often had more criticism and demands than encouragement, and more lectures than support. For those of you who possess the energy of Mother Earth, please be mindful of your expressions and attitudes when showing concern and emotions. A single thought or action can make the difference between heaven and hell, moving someone to tears or to resentment. Today, I adhered to Mother Earth's "protection" principle by taking care of myself first. Once I took care of myself, I had the mental and physical energy to write and share. For those of you with the ability to nurture, please also protect yourself and those you want to protect. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Empress

2024 0424 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress

2024 0424 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress 昨日是『挫折』，今日的塔羅牌是『皇后』。 像是在外面受了委屈，不開心，回家需要媽媽的安慰般。 大地之母，就像我們的媽媽，和善卻也很嚴厲，溫暖卻也很冷靜。 『皇后』就更不用說了，母儀的尊貴與嚴謹，是讓人無法開玩笑地鬼扯一番。 『皇后』是我們的後盾，是我們的後背，是我們的後援，是當有事情發生的時候會將我們保護在她的羽翼下。 她，平時是溫柔的。 她，突發意外時是嚴肅且眼神肅殺的。 『皇后』有時，就是會像媽媽那般的嘮叨，可能還有一點點囉嗦。 若今日身邊有這樣的人出現，請多一些耐心，情緒上不要太過抗拒，因她的出發點是關心，是善意。 今日，若有美女在同一空間出現，就好好地欣賞一下。 但這欣賞不是要你用雙眼直瞪著人家瞧，或者是興起甚麼邪惡小心機。 欣賞的是，給予讚賞的眼神和微笑。 如果是認識的人，就直接言語稱讚。 美女們，聽到他人的讚嘆和接收到他人興嘆的眼神，心花仍會開，即使這已是她們的日常。 不過，沒人會覺讚賞是多餘的。 今日，如果有機會，你也可以有執行”母親”的任務。 傳承與分享，總是要在平日裡發芽，經過長久時間後才會茁壯。 教導，不可能說一次話，問了問題就懂大半。 當不耐煩的時候，請想起大地之母對我們的慈愛笑顏。 今日，請記得 ~ 是溫暖的陽光色調。 若趕到快凍僵了，請趕快逃離該區域，去尋求溫暖的抱抱。 Alyson's 4/24 Tarot: Empress Yesterday was "setback," and today's Tarot card is "Empress." It's like feeling wronged outside, unhappy, needing the comfort of a mother when you return home. The mother of the earth, just like our own mothers, gentle yet stern, warm yet calm. The "Empress," needless to say, her maternal dignity and rigor make it impossible for anyone to joke lightly. The "Empress" is our support, our backing, our backup, protecting us under her wings when something happens. She is gentle in ordinary times. She is serious and her gaze is stern in case of unexpected occurrences. Sometimes, the "Empress" will nag like a mother, perhaps a little bit more. If someone like this appears today, please be more patient, don't resist too much emotionally, because her intention is care, is goodwill. Today, if a beautiful woman appears in the same space, appreciate it properly. But this appreciation isn't about staring directly at someone, or having some evil ulterior motive. Appreciation means giving approving looks and smiles. If it's someone you know, give compliments directly. Ladies, hearing others' praises and receiving admiring glances will still make their hearts blossom, even if it's their daily routine. However, no one would think appreciation is redundant. Today, if you have the opportunity, you can also undertake the "mother's" task. Nurturing and sharing always need to sprout in everyday life and grow strong over time. Teaching cannot be done in one go, asking a question doesn't mean understanding half of it. When you feel impatient, please remember the loving smile of the mother of the earth towards us. Today, please remember ~ it's a warm sunny tone. If you're about to freeze, hurry to leave the area and seek warm hugs. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Empress

2024 0606 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress

2024 0606 今日塔羅：皇后 Empress 前一天晚上，我與整個世界斷了連結。 看著塔羅牌，腦袋空空的。 翻轉塔羅牌，思緒空空的。 這是長期內耗造成的困境。 這次內耗的形成原因不在他人，在自己。 總是貪心地想要了解更多事情。 總是貪婪地想要知道更多知識。 尤其是身心靈這塊領域。 無論是古老的東方還是遙遠的西方。 無論是過去還是現在。 只要清醒著的時間，聽課、上課，幾乎佔了絕大部分的時間。 能吸收嗎？ 有消化嗎？ 時間不夠吸收，不夠消化。 但學習的機會都是唯一。 也許等有比較多時間可以進行時，課程已不再招開。 我們永遠不會知道未來是什麼情況等著我們。 所以，我珍惜當下的做法就是，若有需要學習的課程，只要時間允許，就排進時間表裡。 原來，我看似無所事事的休息期，被自己的恐慌和貪心給佔據了。 雖然我已跳離職場，卻又忍不住擔憂若不跟進相關議題和資訊，與職場的脫節，是否會造成封閉的自己。 這證明了我是平凡人啊。 自以為能夠淡定，可能是壓抑。 自以為能夠疏離，可能是逃避。 建立自己安全的情感狀態，迫在眉睫，得注意與面對。 想念溫暖的土壤。 想念清新的草地。 想念艷麗的花朵。 想念和煦的微風。 想念涓涓的小溪。 想念無際的天空。 想念我四處逍遙的自然風景。 今日的塔羅是皇后。 皇后，更深層的含意是大地。 大地，更直接的連結是母親。 你心中的母親是什麼模樣？ 我的姪子姪女分別落在兩個世代，一個世代現在剛大學畢業，另一個世代是落在青少年，他們彼此之間剛好相差十歲。 在年長姪子姪女世代，他們認為他們的母親是世上最棒的。 帶著他們一起玩，一起瘋狂。 帶著他們一起打遊戲，探索世界，學習成長。 進得了廚房，上得了廳堂。 進得了遊戲間，上得了學習殿堂。 較年輕世代的姪子姪女，對於媽媽，是溫柔、美麗、優雅的形像。 輕聲細語的溝通、交流與叮嚀。 跟他們一起研讀聖經，一起面對生命中的所有艱難。 他們知道，父母雖然是成人，是所謂的大人，也是會恐懼、害怕，想躲避，不想面對。 對我來說，我母親的形像，是堅忍的屹立不搖，是超猛的行動力，個子雖嬌小卻有著無比強大的力量。 母親的聲音，是爽朗的笑聲，是快速用力的切菜聲，是噗哧噗哧鍋上熱湯滾動的聲音。 皇后 ~ 是滋養與孕育。 是溫暖與安全。 是掌控與占有。 是守護與維繫。 是付出與傳承。 是依附與束縛。 Tarot of the Day for 2024/06/06: The Empress The night before, I disconnected from the entire world. Looking at the Tarot cards, my mind went blank. Flipping the Tarot cards, my thoughts were empty. This is the dilemma caused by prolonged internal exhaustion. The cause of this internal struggle lies not with others but within myself. I always greedily want to understand more things. I always greedily want to know more knowledge. Especially in the realm of body, mind, and spirit. Whether it is the ancient East or the distant West. Whether it is the past or the present. As long as I'm awake, most of my time is spent listening to classes and attending lectures. Can I absorb it? Can I digest it? There isn't enough time to absorb or digest it. But the opportunities to learn are unique. Maybe by the time I have more time to engage, the courses will no longer be available. We never know what the future holds for us. Therefore, my way of cherishing the present is that if there is a course I need to learn, as long as time permits, I schedule it. It turns out that my seemingly idle rest period was occupied by my own panic and greed. Although I have left the workplace, I can't help but worry whether not keeping up with relevant issues and information will lead to a disconnect that will close me off. This proves that I am an ordinary person. Thinking I can remain calm might just be repression. Thinking I can be detached might just be escapism. Establishing a safe emotional state for myself is urgent and must be addressed. I miss the warm soil. I miss the fresh grass. I miss the vibrant flowers. I miss the gentle breeze. I miss the trickling stream. I miss the boundless sky. I miss the natural scenery where I roamed freely. Today's Tarot is the Empress. The deeper meaning of the Empress is the Earth. The more direct connection to the Earth is the Mother. What does the mother in your heart look like? My nieces and nephews are from two generations: one has just graduated from college, and the other is in their teenage years, with a ten-year gap between them. The older generation of nieces and nephews believes their mother is the best in the world. She plays with them and goes crazy with them. She plays games with them, explores the world, and learns and grows together. She can handle the kitchen and manage the living room. She can navigate the game room and the hall of learning. The younger generation of nieces and nephews sees their mother as gentle, beautiful, and elegant. She communicates, interacts, and gently reminds them. She studies the Bible with them and faces all the challenges in life together. They know that although their parents are adults, they also experience fear, want to hide, and sometimes don't want to face things. To me, the image of my mother is one of unwavering resilience, incredible action, and immense strength despite her small stature. Her voice is the sound of hearty laughter, the swift and forceful sound of chopping vegetables, and the bubbling of hot soup on the stove. The Empress ~ Is nourishment and nurturing. Is warmth and safety. Is control and possession. Is protection and maintenance. Is giving and inheritance. Is attachment and restriction. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Empress

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：皇后 Empress

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.

今日牌卡：皇后 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/131644330 一直以來很喜歡用一句話形容女人，溫柔但堅定的力量。 我媽媽，是我這輩子第一個認識的女強人。 她，很霸道，尤其是關於家裡生活採買的物品。 她，很獨裁，尤其是關於家中大小事日期的安排。 她，很果斷，尤其是跟孩子們追討代墊款項的時候。 她，很開朗，當面對婆婆和犯小錯的時候。 她，很溫柔，當與老公分享談心事的時候。 她，很可愛，當逗著可愛帥氣孫子的時候。 我媽，她沒有所謂的強勢氣場。 她沒有高跟鞋、西裝和精緻的濃妝。 頂著一顆捲捲頭，十根圓圓短短胖胖的手指頭。 人未到，開朗暢懷笑聲已先到。 她是皇后，孕育了孩子，孕育出一個家的溫暖。 若說父親是一個家的精神支柱，頂梁柱，那我說母親則是一個家的靈魂，是那繞著樑，伴著樑，不可或缺的靈魂。 我認為所謂的女強人，是內心裡有股源源不絕的強大力量支撐著她面對人生裡的風風雨雨。 她將力量化為溫暖開朗的能量，融化了一路上遇到的冰雪寒天，暖了內心裡孤寂的寸土。 而不是只存在於職場上精明幹練的模樣。 也不是用銳利眼神將人從頭到腳的掃描過一遍。 更不是使用尖銳語言去討論、評價甚至是攻擊。 我，終究，沒有成為像媽媽一樣的女強人。 我沒有堅定的心念，欠缺強大力量，奉行逃避並不可恥的理論，對無心面對的事情，那就托著吧。 還是因為沒有人用溫柔形容過我？！ I always loved describing women with a single phrase - the gentle yet firm strength. My mother, she's the first powerhouse woman I've ever known in my life. She is very domineering, especially when it comes to purchasing items for home life. She is very authoritative, especially regarding the arrangement of dates for all major events at home. She is very decisive, especially when it comes to collecting advance payments from her children. She is very cheerful when facing her mother-in-law and making small mistakes. She is very gentle when sharing her thoughts with her husband. She is very cute when teasing her cute and handsome grandson. My mother, she doesn't have this so-called domineering aura. She doesn't have high heels, suits or elaborate makeup. It has a curly hair and ten round, short and fat fingers. Before she arrives, her cheerful laughter has already set the tone. She's a queen, nurturing children and bringing warmth to a home. If a father is the spiritual pillar, the backbone of a family, then I say a mother is the soul, the indispensable spirit that surrounds and accompanies, weaving through the beams of a home. I believe a so-called powerhouse woman has an inexhaustible inner strength that supports her through life's ups and downs. She transforms that strength into warm and cheerful energy, melting the icy challenges encountered along the way, warming the lonely corners of her heart. It's not just about being savvy and competent in the workplace. It's not about scanning people from head to toe with sharp eyes. It's certainly not about using sharp language to discuss, evaluate, or even attack. I, in the end, haven't become a powerhouse woman like my mother. I lack a firm mindset, lack immense strength, and adhere to the theory that avoiding things isn't shameful; if it's something I don't want to face, then just leave it be. Or maybe it's because no one has ever described me as gentle?! #DreamCatcher #Tarot #Tarotreader #Tarotcards #Dream #Empress #Alyson #塔羅 #捕夢人 #皇后 #溫柔的力量
