#價格不等於價值

最近，有幾個單品成了時尚圈火熱的討論主題。

一個是Louis Vuitton 長得像救生衣的充氣背心，一個是Bottega Veneta 神似電話線又像髮圈的項鍊和耳環。

前者要價十幾萬台幣、後面的要價2000美元，你一定會想，到底哪個瘋子會花大錢買這些東西？（還真的不少。）國外媒體《WWD》甚至專題介紹了LV充氣背心推出後，在中國大陸引發的吐槽模仿現象。

記得，Virgil Abloh 在2019年也設計過1萬美元的Monogram風箏、2021秋冬系列發表了吸睛度不輸Thom Browne小狗包的飛機提包、Gucci不遑多讓推出了2500美元的餅乾盒手提包、香奈兒也有1725美元的迴力鏢，這些乍看很“ㄎㄧㄤ”的東西，無一不在挑戰我們的固有價值觀。

這讓我回憶起，幾年前Balenciaga 推出的“IKEA 風購物袋”，彷彿只因為多了一個Logo，價格就瞬間翻了2000倍，搞得那一年我也好愛揹IKEA藍色尼龍袋出門。

其實，這些看似瘋狂的創作，許多都和當季的設計理念有關，如果從包容一點的觀點去看，對設計師來說，它們也是藝術的一部分，我們或許不該只用既定的價值觀去看待。好比說LV的充氣背心靈感就是來自航海，而BV的髮圈項鍊，它的創作源頭還真的是小時候用的話筒上的電話線，當然啦，2000美元的高價一部分原因還是來自於它的純銀材質。

而我想另一部分的原因，無不和炒作話題息息相關。近幾年奢侈品越來越看重線上營銷，在這個流量至上的年代，對精品來說，沒有話題是不行的，至少，你可能因為注意到了LV這款長得像救生圈的背心，順便也關注了它本季的其他單品；而髮圈項鍊也讓我們想起原來BV還有飾品可以選擇。

創意總監 Daniel Lee 執掌下的Bottega Veneta ，不是於年初無預警地關閉品牌 Instagram 官方帳號嗎？這些反骨表現反倒更引起我們的注意。

你可以花2000美元買一個髮圈項鍊，也可以對它不屑一顧。就像，有人對某些藝術家嘔心瀝血的創作一文不值，卻願意花大錢買一雙工廠生產的名牌限量球鞋，這沒有對錯。

我想說的是：「一個物品適合怎樣的價格？」應該是因人而異的，價值觀存在於每個人的心中，市場上的價格可以參考，但僅供參考，你認為值得與否，那才是真的。

價格不等於價值，對生活中的一切，我們都應該要有獨立思考的價值觀。

【8100】(English writing below)

八支影片後，我的Youtube頻道一百位訂閱了！🎉

沒有打廣告，沒有常上片，只有一個我在「愛瘋」6鏡頭前晃來晃去，說了一卡車的道理。

影片都是臉書直播剪輯出來的精華版。感謝一百多位的訂閱，感謝五千多的觀看次數。

人生拼到的每個小勝利，都值得拿來提醒自己，一路走來到底在堅持什麼。

很多年前，我就很喜歡香奈兒的耳環，但以前負債沒錢買。我就站在那義安城香奈兒門市的櫥窗前，看到頸項都長了。我想起師尊的教誨，當場修供養法。

今年元旦，一位客人送了我這對香奈兒耳環。這是我人生中的第一對香奈兒的耳環。

她說感謝我兩年前爲她兩位千金批八字。她照著我的建議一一去做，幫了她大女兒的O水準和A水準會考不少。孩子順利報讀我建議的初級學院後，母女倆都沒想到女兒的學業竟然還會更上一層樓，而且孩子讀得也開心。

印象中，客人答謝我的方式有幾種：包多一個紅包、想免費爲我拍照（專業攝影師客人）、介紹家人朋友同事來找我、寫見證、送食物或其他小禮物等等。

這位女客人注意到，臉書裡的我常戴不同的耳環，也記得我以前寫過關於香奈兒手錶的文章。

當她告訴我，她第一次走進義安城的香奈兒門市，就是爲了買我這對耳環時，我頓時覺得真佛密法真的不可思議！

上個星期，有位讀者私訊，想以我的名義爲我捐錢，請我選一個我想支持的慈善機構。她閱讀了我在3月14日分享的貼文，知道我做這行必須得代客人的業障，因此想盡一份綿力，出錢爲我補福。

那私訊不長，但我反覆看了好幾次，真心感動。

我並沒有接受這位讀者的好意。無功不受祿，再者，解鈴還須繫鈴人。自己選擇做這行，本來就應該自己要能夠當擔，明白如何化解。

補福能增加福報，但不足以消到業障。

人世間，你知道什麼最難嗎？

獲得人心最難。別人要爲你出錢，排第二難。😄

我口才，還可以。文筆，還OK。剪片，勉強過關。

喜歡的東西也不多，寫來講去都是佛法、玄學和一堆人生大道理，沒把你悶著，還真是「阿彌陀佛」。

有的人活了八十年，有的人同一年活了八十次。

我怕過，我猶豫過，我放棄過，我哭過。

但我依然前進，爲的就是有個理由不再質疑自己。

謝謝妳你，比我更沒有嫌棄我，讓我可以做自己。

無論你祇是讀過我寫的一行字，還是看過我一分鐘的影片，能夠在那一瞬間得到你的心，我依然歡喜感恩。

輸了妳你，贏了世界又如何。

期待我們的未來，有更多共同向善向上的美好時光。

8 videos later and my YouTube channel is at 100 subscribers! 🎉

No ads, no regular uploading, all organic reach. Only one me in front of a IPhone 6, sprouting a lorry-full of life's principles.

My videos are edited versions of my FB Lives. Thank you to the 100+ subscribers and the 5400+ views.

Every little victory that we fought for is a worthy reminder to ourselves: Just what are we persevering for?

I fell in love with Chanel earrings many years ago, but was too debt-ridden to afford them. So I stood for a very long time in front of the shop window at Ngee Ann City. I remembered my Grandmaster's teachings and there and then, did an offering practice.

Early this year, a client gifted me with this pair of Chanel earrings, my very first pair of Chanel earrings.

She said she wanted to thank me for analysing her daughters' Bazi two years ago. She adhered to my recommendations, which greatly helped her elder daughter in her O and A-Levels exams. When her child successfully enrolled in the junior college I recommended, both my client and her daughter were surprised that her daughter's studies improved. Most importantly, her daughter was also happy studying there.

In my memory, there are several ways in how my clients thank me when they get results from my recommendations. They give me another red packet, offered to take photos of me (from a client who is a professional photographer), write me a testimonial, give me food or other little presents etc.

This lady client observed from my Facebook that I often wore different earrings. She also remembered I wrote an article on Chanel watches some years ago.

She told me it was her first time walking into the Chanel store at Ngee Ann City, and her sole purpose was to buy me these earrings. In that split second, I was in awe of the amazing powers of True Buddha Tantric Dharma!

Last week, a reader PM me, wanting to make a donation in my name. She asked me to choose a charity that I wished to support. After reading my shared post on 14 March, she was saddened to know that I had to take on the negative karma of my clients. She wanted to help me out by donating money for me and replenish my tank of good fortune.

The message wasn't a long one but I read it several times. I was truly moved by her gesture.

I didn't accept the kind intention of the reader. I felt that I did not contribute anything to her, to deserve the "emolument". Secondly, the person who tied the bell on the neck of the tiger should be the one taking it down. It was on my own free will that I took up this job. I should also be the one to shoulder its karmic weight and know how to resolve it.

While donations can increase one's good fortune, they are not sufficient to eradicate negative karma.

You know what is the most difficult thing in this mortal world?

To win the hearts of people.

The second most difficult thing will be to have people wanting to fork out money for you. 😄

I can speak ok, I can write ok. My video editing skills are also just passable.

There aren't many things that I like. I mainly speak and write about Dharma, Chinese Metaphysics and a bunch of life theories. If all these have yet to bore you, I really have Amitabha Buddha to thank for.

Some people lived till 80 years, while others lived the same year 80 times.

I have had fear and hesitations. I had cried and wanted to give up. But I soldiered on because I needed a reason to stop doubting myself.

Thank you to you, for not despising me more than myself, and allowing me to be me.

Whether it was just one line of my writing that you read, or that one minute of video that you watched, I am happy and thankful to have won your heart in that one moment.

If I have to lose you, winning the world will mean nothing to me.

May there be more wonderful times of us striving together ahead, towards kindness, towards betterment.
