【秋食學問】有蜜糖的BBQ就是秋天的味道

#雞翼搽蜜糖後再燒5分鐘是人間美味
#很多所謂的蜜糖其實是糖漿
#星期三問題多多

BBQ塗蜜糖減熱氣？
堅秋：「聽說燒烤時在食物上塗蜜糖，可以減輕熱氣，感覺滋潤一點，是真的嗎？」

CheckCheckCin：燒烤是秋日最受歡迎活動之一，蜜糖是燒烤必備的調味料，大家喜歡無論燒肉、丸甚至麵包都會塗抹一層厚厚的蜜糖，從中醫角度來看，蜂蜜的確是潤燥的恩物，但無助於減輕燒烤產生的熱氣，況且大家燒烤時常用的「蜜糖」，一般只是糖漿，未必真正有蜂蜜成份啊！所以塗蜜糖純綷是味覺上的享受。
秋天天氣乾燥，加上坐在火爐旁邊以及進食燒烤食物的「燥熱」邪氣，會令身體津液被抽乾，所以燒烤過後常常出現喉嚨痛、聲沙、乾咳、大便乾結等燥熱症狀。
想享受燒烤的樂趣，同時減少燥邪的影響，可以注意燒烤時多走動，不要長時間坐在火爐旁邊。燒烤時飲用自煮的菊花雪梨水，或者燒烤後適量進食腐竹蓮子白果糖水或者綠豆邊清心丸，都有助減低燥熱情況。

菊花雪梨蜂蜜水
功效：清熱降火，滋潤肺燥，紓緩喉嚨痛、乾咳等燥熱症狀
材料：杭菊花15-20朵、雪梨2個，蜂蜜適量
做法：
1. 材料洗淨，雪梨去芯切件備用。
2. 鍋中加入800-1000毫升水及雪梨，以武火煮至水滾，然後調文火煮約40分鐘，加入杭菊花煮15-20分鐘，加入適量蜂蜜即可。

Brush honey on your BBQ meat to reduce heat?
Some people say adding honey to your BBQ meat can reduce the heat and it feels more nourishing, it is true?
CheckCheckCin: Barbeque is a popular activity in the fall and honey is a must-have seasoning. Whether it is meats, fish balls, or bread, people brush on a thick layer of honey. From Chinese medicine perspective, honey can relieve dryness, but it does not reduce the amount of heat generated in the body from barbequing. Most common honey used in barbeques are mostly just syrup and not real honey. So brushing on honey is just an addition to the flavour.
Autumn is a dry season and you are exposed to dry heat pathogen sitting by the barbeque pit heating up food and body fluids get sucked dry. This is why people commonly experience sore throat, coarseness in voice, dry cough or dry stool after barbequing.
To ensure barbeque and reduce effects of pathogens, remember to move around more during barbeque and do not just sit by the pit. Try to have some homemade chrysanthemum tea with pear.

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 《大醫王佛號濟衆生》
Salvation By The Name Of The Supreme Healer
(English version below)

今天，陽曆2015年11月11日，農曆九月三十日，是眾所熟悉的「南無藥師琉璃光王佛」的佛辰。所有學佛的弟子都曉得這尊如來。這尊佛和東方阿閦佛是一樣的，祇是名稱有別。這尊佛，大家都知道，就是「大醫王」。

祂的十二宏願中，有一願是願祂能以八萬四千種藥救治衆生的八萬四千種病。這八萬四千種病並不是我們有形所看到的病，當中還包括我們心裡面的病，精神上的病，比如說焦慮不安、嗔恨、憂鬱、煩躁、燥慮和心中的傷痛等等。這些都是病。

因此在這天，我們可以先沐浴，換上清淨的衣服。如果可以的話，再齋戒。所謂的齋戒可以說過午才食，或這一天完全地茹素。這茹素包括如果你在家煮素食，你要很慎重地確定你的鍋和器皿絕對沒有沾過葷的，這樣才好。

如果妳沒有供奉這尊如來，你可以將祂的法相卡捧在你手中，端正地坐在你客廳或書房的椅子上，然後恭恭敬敬地恭誦祂的洪名 ，「南無藥師琉璃光王佛」，21遍、49遍、108遍或 1080遍。 然後靜坐5分鐘，純想祂的聖容，之後就迴向給你欲想迴向的對象，你過往的祖先、過往的親人、友人、親戚，甚至你本身身體上有一些病痛，都可以迴向。

當然，絕對不是因為今天是「南無藥師琉璃光王佛」的佛辰，你今天才來唸。不是的，祇是每當佛菩薩的佛辰時，我們修法功德是百倍的，但這也要看你的誠心而論。

天地的根基在於一個誠字，因此我們華人有句話： 「精誠所至，金石為開」。吾祝賀大家能夠圓成你的願望，也祝大家佛緣增長，智慧增長，早日離苦得樂，阿彌陀佛。

Today, 11th November 2015, 30th Day of 9th Lunar month, is the holy birthday of Medicine Buddha, whom I am sure most of us are familiar with. All learning Buddhists would know this Buddha, also known as the Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddha. He is identical to the Aksobhya Buddha of the Eastern Paradise, and only known by a different name. The Medicine Buddha is also regarded as the Supreme Healer.

In the twelve noble vows He made, one of the vows was to heal all the 84,000 illnesses of the sentient beings, with 84,000 medicine. These 84,000 illnesses are not just diseases that we can see physically, but also those that affect us mentally and spiritually, like anxiety disorder, hatred, depression, over-worrying, impatience, bipolar disorder, grief, etc. These are all illnesses.

Therefore, on this day, we can take a bath and change into clean clothing. If possible, you can go on a vegetarian diet for the day, or opt to consume food only after noon. If you are preparing vegetarian meals at home, take care not to use any crockery and utensils that have been in contact with meat.

If you do not worship the Medicine Buddha at home, you can hold a pictorial card with the illustration of the Medicine Buddha, sit in an upright and proper posture in your living room or study room, and respectfully recite His Buddha Name, "Namo Yao Shi Liu Li Guang Wang Fo" (南無藥師琉璃光王佛), 21 times, 49 times, 108 times or 1080 times. After which, you can sit for 5 minutes in meditative silence and visualize the sagely appearance of the Medicine Buddha. At the end of your prayer, you may dedicate the merits to your ancestors, deceased family members, friends, relatives or even to your own health condition.

Of course, it is not only today, on the Birthday of the Medicine Buddha, which you recite his Name. It is just that on the holy birthdays of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the merits generated from cultivation will be hundredfold. But please remember all these depend on your level of faith and sincerity.

The foundation of Heaven and Earth lies in your faith. That is why we have a Chinese saying that goes "The utmost sincerity can crack open even metal and stone ".

I wish everyone fulfillment of your dreams, and may your affinity with the Buddha increase. May your wisdom grow by leaps and bound, and achieve liberation from your sufferings very soon. Amitabha.
