今天是美國總統大選開票，我也緊張個半死。不過今天看直播的時候聽到一個很有趣的消息！
警察因為太了解美國人常常會在球賽、選舉或是遊行抗議場合用「爬欄杆、爬路燈」的方式表達不滿或贏球的喜悅（那畫面很好想像吧？就是我們搶孤的憤怒或狂喜三百倍版），所以都會在一些重要球賽時把附近路燈竿子都塗滿「油」，來「阻止」民眾登高望遠，阿不是是登高抗議/慶祝。這兩天全美警察皮也繃很緊地開始在各地路燈電線竿塗上「潤滑油」。

我找半天只找到2018的相關新聞和照片，來分享一下🤣
以往是用Crisco塗，什麼是Crisco呢？是一家專做各種食用油、酥油的大牌子，有點類似台灣得意的一天這樣。遇到下雨天，還會換成可以防水的hydraulic fluid。

費城的警察在球賽當天還推特發文告訴大家，今天各大電線竿都有塗油喔！留言真的很幽默：
Now comes the time in the night where we must warn everyone about the dangers of Saturated Fats. Cheers for Foles! Jeers for Poles! It’s a long way down, baby. Celebrate responsibly.
我大致翻譯是這樣：
今晚想要來特別警告一下大家飽和脂肪的危險。為Foles（一個橄欖球員）加油！去爬欄杆會被笑喔！親愛的，欄杆很長，下來要下很久，請謹慎慶祝（其實是用常見的Drink responsibly謹慎喝酒的點，換成Celebrate responsibly，所以慶祝歸慶祝，不要出人命喔）。

之後Pornhub（這我實在不好意思直說是什麼你們就自己去查一下了🤫）還虧費城警察說，聽說們在找比Crisco更好用的油，為您推薦我們自家品牌出的lubricant（潤滑油）。

哎，真是笑死我了🤣

【生生世世眼光明】BRIGHT EYES EVERY LIFETIME （English writing below)

男客人因找不到工作，想請我為他批八字和看風水。

那時我便在想，客人的眼睛／眼神一定有問題。6月26日那晚，我做了一場直播：三大條件 - 男人怎樣才能事業旺？直播裡，我解釋了男人的眼睛／眼神與個人事業的關聯。

初次見面時，男客人的眼神，如我在八字中看到的一樣，可是他的眼睛健康比我想像中的更嚴重。

他告訴我，某次在超市時，忽然看到很多白光，去看醫生後，才知道眼睛健康亮起了紅燈，某部位有鬆脫的危險。當時，我還和他開玩笑，是否確定看到的是白光，而不是般若光？

批八字時，我教導他如何依據他的八字所需，正確地採取自己的用神，換眼鏡、通過飲食補運補健康等等，並介紹他一位中醫。有的八字適合看西醫，有的適合看中醫。但就算適合看中醫，也得考慮到那位中醫的五行和實力。這位中醫，我的家人和我都看過，所以我才會推薦。

我之後也為這位男客人看居家風水。

男客人說他這輩子沒批過八字，讀到我文章後，才想要了解自己的命運。這幾年，他家的風水曾看過幾次，但有些關鍵問題仍沒解決。

有時，不是之前的師父不准，而是客人本身的所知障重。

看完風水的三個星期後，男客人發私訊，當中有報喜。我真心為他高興，也希望他會把該做的都做足，來改善自己的運。我曾在6月8日的直播中，揚言只要100%照著我的話去做，你肯定會賺回你所付的諮詢費用。不是我口氣大，而是我很清楚我的能力到哪裡，又何必假裝給不了客人希望呢？

.

我們今生能貴為真佛弟子，是有著無比的福份，也是我這輩子最大的殊榮。但我們要小心，獅子能跳過的地方兔子不能跳。 師尊所說過的話，含著很深很深的般若智慧，我們要深入地參，而不要依樣畫葫蘆地亂蓋在自己身上。

師尊有一名言：「一切都是最美好的安排。」

有的同門人生不順時，會以此話來安慰自己。這樣做也沒錯，可是如果你修法很多年，受過師尊無數的灌頂，卻依然沒看到更大的進步，那你是否誤解了師尊的佛慧，而藉此話來逃避自己一直都在做錯的事，毫無一日三省之心？

皈依的佛弟子比一般人，多了更多改命修福的機緣。在這裡，整理出我看過一些案例，提醒大家：

1. 千萬不要在臥房內，擺放佛像、神像或法相卡。

一般臥房乃不淨之地，尤其有夫妻行房、手淫、自慰或意淫等行為，因此「堂堂正正」讓清淨的佛菩薩、神明或金剛護法，看到齷齪行為時，實屬犯不敬之戒，會讓自身的命運出現諸多障礙。

2. 佛像、神像等不是擺設品，不應拿來美化居家，而應當如法供奉。

一個家，必須看住多少男女、家的大小，並適當地供奉幾尊佛像或神像。不要以為越多金身，就是更多保佑。相反的，陰陽離子數不協調時，問題就大了。

3. 壇城的蓮花燈，要24/7亮著。

一對蓮花燈，小小的燈泡，用不了多少電費，但還是有人，為了省錢，只有初一十五，或白天才開燈。其實那很傻，因為供燈給佛菩薩，無論出世或入世都有不可思議的功德。

我個人的密室，十多年來，除非換燈泡或清洗蓮花燈花瓣，就算我出國，一對蓮花燈也從來沒有關過。壇城上，我也有供油燈。我特別喜歡供燈，平時修法供酥油燈，特別日子時，會供上七盞酥油燈。

出世方面，《佛為首迦長者說業報差別經》說：「若有眾生奉施燈明，得十種功德：（網路資料）

一、宛如明灯一般地照亮世间；
二、眼睛没有疾病 ；

三、容易证得天眼通；

四、分辨善恶的智能；　

五、不会发生胡涂昏暗的事情；

六、不易受到外在事物所迷惑 ；

七、不会出生在幽暗昏庸的地方；

八、有大福报；

九、命终生天尤其是往生忉利天；　

十、速证涅槃。

入世方面，供燈能讓今生和來世的運途光明、貴人顯著，命運不會落入昏暗無助。供燈能得眼光明，光明的眼睛也正是事業旺的一個吉祥象徵。

A male client sought my consultation services for Bazi and Feng Shui, because he had problems looking for a job.

At that time, I was thinking there was bound to be some problem in his eyes and/or eye expression. On the night of 26 June, I did a FB Live on this: The 3 Conditions for A Man To Have A Successful Career. In that Live, I explained the correlation between a man's eyes and his career.

In our first meeting, the male client's eye expression was as what I deduced from his Bazi. However, the health of his eyes had more serious problems than I expected.

He told me, once in a supermarket, he suddenly saw many white light spots. After visiting the doctor, he then realised his eyes have serious problems and a certain part of his eyes were at risk of loosening.

During the Bazi analysis, I taught him how to use his favourable elements correctly and make up for his Bazi inadequacies through changing his spectacles and his diet, which will greatly boost his health. I also recommended a TCM practitioner to him. Some Bazi are suitable to seek Western doctors, while others are more suitable to seek TCM. However, even if the client is more fitted for TCM, I still have to consider the TCM practitioner's element and capability. My family and I have consulted this TCM practitioner before, hence my recommendation.

I later did a Feng Shui audit for the client.

While the client had never got his Bazi read till he read my articles, his home had been audited by other Masters before, but there were some key problems that had yet to be resolved.

Sometimes, it's not that the previous Masters were inaccurate, but the obstruction of the knowable in the clients can be too heavy.

About 3 weeks after the audit, the male client sent a PM, containing some good news for me. I am truly happy for him, and also hope that he do what is needed to transform his own destiny. In my Live on 8 June, I proclaimed that if a client adheres to 100% of my advice, he/she will definitely earn back the consultation fees paid to me. This is not me being haughty, but because I am very clear of my abilities, so why should I pretend that I am unable to give hope to clients?
.

It is our great fortune that we can be True Buddha disciples. It is also my greatest honour in this lifetime. But we must be careful, the place that the lion can jump over is not what a rabbit can hop over. The words of our Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng, contain very deep prajna-wisdom. We must contemplate on His words and not act after the same fashion, blindly using it on ourselves.

Grandmaster has a famous adage, "Everything is of the best arrangement."

Some fellow Dharma brothers and sisters will console themselves with this adage, when their lives turn rough. It's not wrong to think that way, but if you have been spiritually cultivating for many years, received numerous empowerments from Grandmaster, and yet have not seen any visible improvement, then have you misunderstood the Buddha wisdom of Grandmaster and used this adage to escape what you have been always doing wrong, without the heart to examine yourself thrice a day?

Buddhists who have taken refuge are more fortunate than most people, for they have more opportune affinities to transform their Destiny and cultivate good fortune.

Here are some of my recommendations, based on my past Feng Shui audit experience:

1. NEVER display holy religious statues or pictorial cards in the bedroom.

Most bedrooms are impure places, especially where there are sexual activity between a married couple, masturbation or sexual thoughts. Hence to be "openly" doing acts of filth in front of holy figures, is committing the sin of disrespect. This will create many obstacles in your Destiny.

2. Religious statues are not display artefacts. They should be worshipped accordingly and not used for home decor.

The number of religious statues worshipped has to be based on the number of home occupants, and the size of the house. Do not mistake that the more statues enshrined mean more blessings. On the contrary, when the Yin and Yang elements are out of balance, big problems will arise.

3. The pair of lotus lamps on your altar should be switched on 24/7

The little bulbs in the lotus lamps do not consume much electricity, but there are still people who wish to save money and only switch on the lamps on the 1st and 15th Lunar day, or in the daytime. That is unwise, because offering light to Buddhas & Bodhisattvas has inconceivable merits in both the secular and transmundane worlds.

In my personal altar room, for 10 over years, my lotus lamps are always switched on even when I go overseas. The only exception is when I change the bulbs or clean the petals. On my altar, I also offer oil lamp. Light offering is one of my favourite offerings. Before cultivation practice, I would offer a butter lamp. On special days, I would offer up to 7 butter lamps.

For transmundane merits, in the The Buddha Speaks of the Differences in Karmic Retribution for Elder Suka Sutra Catalogue, He expounded the Ten Benefits of Offering Lights: (extracted from internet)

1. One becomes like the light of the world.
2. One achieves clairvoyance of the pure eye as a human.
3. One achieves the deva's eye.
4. One receives the wisdom to discriminate virtue from non-virtue.
5. One is able to eliminate the concept of inherent existence.
6. One receives the illumination of wisdom.
7. One is reborn as a human or deva.
8. One receives great enjoyment wealth.
9. One quickly becomes liberated.
10. One quickly attains enlightenment.

For secular benefits, light offering can illuminate your path of luck in this life and future lifetimes, ensuring you a bright future. Your benefactors will be abundant and prominent. Your Destiny will not fall into darkness and helplessness. Offering lights will reap the benefit of bright healthy eyes. And bright healthy eyes are an auspicious sign of a flourishing career.
