【德多少，就得多少】
YOUR VIRTUES DETERMINE HOW MUCH YOU GET

最近家附近有建築工地，噪音多了。

客人聽我的聲音不會有問題，因為我的耳機有麥克風，但如果他們不戴有麥克風的耳機，我聽他們的聲音會比較辛苦。

幾天前，為一位年輕的保險經紀通過Zoom批八字。

他進入Zoom會議室後，呆看著我。

我微笑看著他，故意不出聲，觀察著他。

幾秒後，他才粗魯的說：「哈囉？!」

奇怪了，貴為一個保險經紀，見人應該無數，打招呼的方式，怎能這麼粗俗？我阿姨阿伯級的客人，雖不常用Zoom，都比他懂禮貌。

我馬上回：「X先生，您好。您進來會議室，怎麼打招呼這麼粗俗？」

「我一向來都是這樣先哈囉，有聲音我才正式打招呼。」

「我倒是從來不會這樣。」

其實，這是個人修養的問題。

「你沒有讀我發給你的貼文嗎？為何你視訊沒有戴耳機？」

「我一向來Zoom都是這樣，沒有戴耳機。我以為你只是建議而已，不一定要戴。」

「我在貼文裡寫關於戴耳機的理由，你覺得不成立嗎？」

他想了幾秒，回：「是成立的。」

「我們都是提供服務的人。客人找我們，需要三大元素。第一個，就是同理心。你沒有同理心，難怪你說你的客人寧願聽別人說，也不信你說。」

「如果你要我戴，我現在就戴。」

他講完後，依然坐在那裡看著我，一動也不動。

後來，我說了幾句，他肯戴上耳機後，藍牙耳機也並沒操作好。

等了我一個月，這麼簡單的事情都不願事先做好。

看著他理直氣壯的模樣，頓時覺得他很可憐。

貴人坐在他面前，他說的一大堆話，都是以「自我」為出發點，完全不懂得「以和為貴」的道理。這不就是親手把貴人轟出門嗎？

「你這樣講話，就算講贏了，你真的贏了嗎？」

換成我是他的客人，我絕不會向他買保險，因為很明顯這不是一位真心為別人著想的保險經紀人。

那天，雖為他看八字，該說的我都有說，但我依然保留許多。

因為他缺德。

許多人把「德」看得很輕，覺得沒做壞事就是好人。事實上，不按照別人合理的要求做事，蓄意破壞規則，只顧自己，也是沒有德行可言。

有些人會吐槽，哎呀你學佛的人，要慈悲，何必跟他計較？不要著相！

我不是在意氣用事。

沒有智慧的慈悲，會害死人的。

祖師有訓 - 看命本來就是依客人的福德多寡，而賜福。品行不端的人，承受不起更多的福報，反而會遭反噬。再說了，對貴人都不好的人，對沒有利用價值的人就會更善良嗎？

不是捐錢的，就一定是好人，什麼事情都是要用心才算。

每個人都想要與眾不同，可是如果你的所作所為和一般人一樣，沒有比他們做得更好，那你的命格只配拿得起一般的命運。

不要迷信，以為什麼都是人家為難你，就跑去求神拜佛要打小人。我們命運裡的每一個障礙，每一粒石頭，都是自己放進去的。

你不改，障礙物就不會移。

在這裡聲明：沒有麥克風耳機的Zoom客人，我一概會取消諮詢，進行退款，沒得商量，沒得瞎掰。

能突然放假，真是太過癮了！

——————————————————

Recently, a construction site sprouted up beside my place, creating a lot of noise every day.

Zoom clients wouldn’t have a problem hearing me, but if they do not have a earpiece with a mic, I would have a problem hearing them.

Few days ago, I did a Bazi analysis for a young Insurance Agent via Zoom.

After he entered my Zoom meeting room, he looked at me blankly.

I smiled at him, deliberately staying quiet, and observed him.

Few seconds later, he said bluntly, “Hello?!”

How strange that an insurance agent, who probably have met tons of people, would greet in such an abrupt manner. My middle-aged clients, who rarely use Zoom, have better etiquette than him.

I replied instantly, “Hi, Mr X. Why is your greeting so crude, upon entering this meeting room?”

“I always say hello like this and wait to hear a reply, before I greet officially.”

“I never do that.”

Actually, this demonstrates the refinement of a person.

“Did you not read the post I sent you? Why are you not wearing a earpiece?”

“All along, I do Zooms in this manner without a earpiece. I thought it’s just a suggestion from you and it was not mandatory.”

“I wrote about the reason for clients to wear a earpiece. Do you find it invalid?”

He pondered for a few seconds and replied, “It’s valid.”

“We are both service providers. Clients look for us based on three main qualities. The first being the quality of empathy. You lack empathy and it’s no wonder you say your clients rather listen to others and not trust you as much.”

“If you want me to wear, then I will wear it now”

And he sat there looking at me, not moving an inch.

When he finally put on his ear pods, they did not operate well either.

It’s peculiar how despite a month of waiting for me, he was slow to get this simple thing done right.

Seeing how “self-assured” he was, for a brief moment, I find his behaviour pitiful.

His benefactor was sitting right in front of him, yet his words remained self-serving, totally oblivious to what harmony is about. Wasn’t this sending your benefactor straight out of the door?

“Even if you gain an upper hand talking like this, have you really won?

I would never buy insurance from such an agent, as obviously he was not the considerate kind.

I still read his Bazi that day, said what I should but there were also a lot I did not reveal.

Because he is lacking in virtues.

Many people think lightly of virtues. They assumed that if they do no evil deed, they are virtuous humans. Fact is, if you do not follow the reasonable requirements of other people, deliberately breaking the rules for your own gain, you have no virtue to speak of.

Some naysayers will tell me, but hey you are a practicing Buddhist, so you should exercise your compassion and not be bothered with his behaviour! Don’t get attached to external form!

This isn’t about me.

Compassion without wisdom brings more harm than good.

Since ancient times, it is a rule of thumb that we practitioners allocate good fortune to clients, based on their conduct and luck.

A person with undesirable conduct is unable to bear greater fortune, or there will be adverse consequences. Moreover, if a person is unkind to his benefactor, it is very unlikely that he will be kinder to another person with no value to him.

You can’t define a person as a good man, just because he is willing to donate money. We got to look at how he uses his heart.

Everybody wants to be special and different from others. But if what you are doing is the same as other people, nowhere better than them, then you can only carry a mediocre Destiny.

Don’t be superstitious to think that everybody is out to get you, and you go running to the temples or Feng Shui masters to chase away the villains.

Every obstacle in our destiny, every little stone that trips us, is placed in our lives by no other person but ourselves.

If you do not change, the obstacle isn’t going to budge either.

And here’s an official note: For any Zoom client that does not wear a earpiece with a microphone, I will cancel the consultation and give you a refund.

Having off days out of the blue are so much more fun!

Ngày còn là chàng sinh viên năm nhất ĐH Bách Khoa, tôi từng nhận nhiều học bổng của các tổ chức, cá nhân dành cho sinh viên nghèo học giỏi. Trong đó có một học bổng tôi luôn nhớ mãi, Học Bổng Đồng hành "1-1" của Hội Khuyến Học Thành Phố trao tặng. "1-1" có nghĩa là một ân nhân sẽ tài trợ học bổng cho 1 sinh viên cho đến khi sinh viên tốt nghiệp ra trường. Ân nhân của tôi là một người Nhật - ông Takeo Tanei - làm cho một công ty dầu khí Việt Nhật tại TPHCM. Ông từng mong ước khi tôi thành tài, sẽ cố gắng lan tỏa điều tốt đẹp ấy đến thế hệ sau,
Khi trưởng thành, tôi đã tham gia rất nhiều hoạt động thiện nguyện và hỗ trợ giúp đỡ bà con, trong đó tôi cũng trao những suất học bổng cho những sinh viên nghèo có hoàn cảnh khó khăn để tiếp sức cho các bạn đến trường.
Lần này là một câu chuyện xúc động khác mà tôi được gieo duyên từ MC Quynh Hoa và ekip trong chương trình Thành phố 18h - một câu chuyện Covid mà tôi sẽ nhớ mãi. Tôi luôn tâm niệm sẽ làm một điều gì đó thật ý nghĩa, và tôi muốn bù đắp cho những tổn thương mà em đang phải trải qua.
Quá khứ là điều không thể thay đổi, hiện tại còn đầy khó khăn, nhưng tôi tin tương lai em sẽ tươi sáng, và chính em sẽ là người viết nên những trang mới cho cuộc đời mình.
Cám ơn báo Thanh Niên về bài viết này khi chương trình lên sóng
When I was a freshman at HCM university of Technology, I received many scholarships from many organizations and individuals for poor students to study well. Among them is a scholarship I still remember forever, the "1-1" Companion Scholarship awarded by the City Study Promotion Association. "1-1" means that a benefactor will sponsor a scholarship for 1 student until the student graduates from school. My benefactor is a Japanese - Mr. Takeo Tanei - working for a Vietnam-Japan oil and gas company in Ho Chi Minh City. He once wished that when I became successful, I would try to spread that good thing to the next generation,
As an adult, I have participated in many volunteering and supporting activities, in which I also gave scholarships to poor students with difficult circumstances to help them go to school.
This time is another touching story that I was blessed with from MC Quynh Hoa and the crew in the program "City 18h" - a touching Covid story that I will remember forever. I always think that I will do something meaningful, and I want to make up for the hurt he is going through (he lost his family during the Covid 19).
The past is something that cannot be changed, the present is still full of difficulties, but I believe that your future will be bright, and you will be the one to write new pages for your life.

【人定勝天 還是 天定勝人？】Heaven's Will or Your Will? (English writing below)

講到改命，很多客人和觀眾會跟我提到我們華人的第一勵志奇書：《了凡四訓》。
他們普遍地認為只要照著做，他們也有希望像明朝的袁了凡先生一樣扭轉乾坤，因此根本就不需要什麼算命啦，看風水這類又花錢又麻煩的事。

麻煩事？花錢？

我都會問他們：你有沒有想過，如果袁了凡先生年輕時，從來沒有算過命，根本不知道自己的未來會怎樣，你真以為他會有這股沖勁來立命嗎？

如果他後來又沒有遇到雲谷禪師，沒有明師來點破他人格上的缺陷，再教他方法改過，袁了凡先生單憑一股沖勁又有何用？

而你生命是否有這樣坦率有本事的貴人，來為你指引一條明路呢？

一寸光陰，一寸金。我們每天都在老化，但人生的問題卻從來不會自動減少。如果你想盡早克服你生命種種的迷惘和障礙，歡迎聯絡我。

When it comes to destiny transformation, many of my clients and audience will tell me about the No. 1 motivational book of the Orient: the Four Lessons of Liao-Fan.

They commonly think that as long as they follow what Mr Yuen Liao-Fan did, they too have the hope of turning their life around like how Mr Yuen Liao-Fan did. Hence, there is no need for them to have their Bazi analysed or Feng Shui audited. It is troublesome and a waste of money.

Troublesome? Waste of money?

My reply will be: Do you realise that if Mr Yuen Liao-Fan never got his destiny analysed when he was young, had no idea of what lies ahead in his future, he would never had that drive to establish his own destiny?

If he did not meet the Zen Master Yun Gu years later, had no accomplished teacher to tell him of his character flaws and teach him the ways to change, what good is there even if Mr Yuen Liao-Fan was extremely driven?

At the end of the day, do you have a benefactor in your life who can be frank with you and teach you the ways to change yourself, guiding you onto a path of illumination?

Time is gold. Yet we can never really buy time with gold. Everyday we age a little bit, but our problems in life never lessen automatically with time.

If you wish to get your life issues ironed out as soon as possible, you are welcome to contact me.

Asokaramaya Buddhist Temple is a Buddhist temple in Kalutara, Sri Lanka. It was built during the 1870s to shelter disciples of Aluthgama Sangharatne who came to hear the monk's sermons. A wealthy local resident funded the temple's construction and subsequent expansion.

In 1873, Buddhist monk Aluthgama Sangharatne came to the village of Etanamadala in northern Kalutara District. He took up residence in a hermitage located in the jungle near the Kalu Ganga River. Aluthgama Sangharatne sought alms from villagers, and they gathered at the hermitage to hear his sermons. Local resident Elliyas Fernando, a wealthy resident of northern Kalutara, was impressed by Aluthgama Sangharatne's sermons and become the monk's primary benefactor.

2019年2月12日，也正是己亥年正月初八晚上，玳瑚師父帶領著有心有福的出席者，一齊在新加坡的中部，進行了簡單卻意義深重的拜天公儀式。

在儀式開始前，師父要求出席者告訴他，爲何要和師父一起拜天公。 之後，師父教導出席者們拜天公的重點事項，以及這次爲國家祈福的重要。

午夜十二點時，拜天公儀式便正式開始了！進行時，師父亦不斷身教言教如何拜天公才合乎禮儀。祭拜活動到尾聲時，大眾一同爲這娑婆世界的大恩人唱生日歌。

事後，師父亦解說：

一、買供品拜天公，要多還是少？
二、沒有什麼錢買供品，怎麼辦？
三、爲什麼我們新加坡人都要爲國家祈福？

.....................

On the night of 12 February 2019, the 8th day of the first Lunar month of the Yin Earth Pig year, Master Dai Hu led participants, who have the heart and good fortune, at the central of Singapore and conducted a simple yet deeply meaningful ceremony to pay homage to the Supreme Jade Emperor.

Before the ceremony started, Master requested for the participants to tell him why they wanted to join the activity. Subsequently, Master taught the participants the vital points of paying homage to the Supreme Jade Emperor, and the importance of seeking blessings for our country that night.

At the strike of midnight, the prayer ceremony officially began! During the prayer, Master continuously demonstrated, through his speech and body, the proper conduct to pay homage to Supreme Jade Emperor. As the ceremony drew to an end, Master and the participants sang birthday song to this great benefactor of sentient beings.

Afterwards, Master explained:

1. Should we have more or less offerings, when paying homage to the Supreme Jade Emperor?

2. If we don't have much money to buy the offerings, what should we do?

3. Why should we Singaporeans seek blessings for our country?
