[Singapore] A Taoist priest is often seen performing rituals, prayers or even at funerals, but that’s not his only task. He should be in search for the Tao (the way). From there he will guide the devotees to understand what the religion is preaching, and how they can apply it in their daily life, how to accept every challenges and how they should conduct oneself. While some of these priests live in seclusion, there are also many who live among the populace and serve the temples. Like this priest shown in the picture is Master Huang Xin Cheng (黄信成道长) who came from the White Cloud Temple (白云观) in Beijing, he is an ordained priest of the Dragon Gate Sect of the Complete Perfection School (道教全真龙门派), he has been serving in the Lorong Koo Chye Sheng Hong Temple since 2000. Many people misunderstood that the scriptures used in the rituals are meant for the deities or the ghosts to bless them for a windfall but that is pretty untrue, most of what was written in the scriptures are in fact meant for the devotees because the priest is just like a teacher in the school, the scriptures are the textbooks, and the devotees are the students. And what is the Tao? According to Tao Te Ching (《道德经》), the fundamental text for Taoism traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi (老子), the first sentence from of the first chapter said: ”The rule of universe (can be referred to as the Tao) can be told, but the rule alway change; the name of everything can be named, but the name is not forever.” (道可道，非常道；名可名，非常名.) 📍Singapore.🇸🇬 . . . #singapore #singaporeinsta #hellofrom #sgphotocommunity #welcometosingapore #taoism #priest #religious #humanstories #peopleinframe #visualambassadors #singaporeig #ilovesg #sgphoto #sglife #sonysingapore #sonyalpha7iii #sonyimages #citygrammers #fatalframes #clickcity #singaporecity #urbangathering #gramslayers #depthobsessed #visualgrams #365daychallenge #urbanisation #creartmood #exploresg

When life throws you a curveball, try turning it into a windfall. 106縣道，西起林口，沿途經過泰山、新莊、板橋、中和、新店、木柵、深坑、石碇、平溪，東至瑞芳。約八十幾公里。 這一段是林口起點附近，可以接到61快速道路，沿途欣賞西海岸的風光。今天看到幾台車彎進一個叉路，就順勢去了一個以前沒有去過的景點，大古山。 兜風的樂趣大概就是這樣吧，往往會有一些驚喜在等著你。 也許我真的不適合當英文老師吧，不服輸的我，只要歷經挫折就會很痛苦。但老天爺也許安排了更好的任務給我，那就欣然接受吧。現在少了許多課、少了許多招生壓力，少了莫名其妙的人，覺得輕鬆好多。 未來會怎麼樣呢？也許就像仰浮在龍洞的海那樣，順著海的浮力起起伏伏。欣然接受，愜意的走吧。沒錯，「愜意」就是我現在生活的目標。 沒有人喜歡我就算了，至少我要試著喜歡我自己。🥰😉

“Lebih baik parlimen tutup. Dah jadi macam zoo” Saya dibayar rakyat puluhan ribu setiap bulan. Kalau parlimen tutup, buat apa gaji dibayar. Di parlimen saya suarakan isu rakyat. Mana moratorium tanpa faedah yang dijanjikan? Kenapa nak hukum doktor doktor kontrak yang bersuara? Saya siap cadangkan “Windfall tax” dikenakan ke Syarikat gergasi yang buat keuntungan luar biasa semasa COVID untuk tampung pembayaran tambahan ke doktor doktor kontrak. Malangnya kerajaan takut dengan tauke tauke. Mana Laptop 150000 yang dijanjikan? Kenapa peniaga peniaga kecil dipaksa tutup kedai sampai bankrupt, tapi kilang kilang besar masih beroperasi? Kenapa SOP #Duadarjat? Rakyat susah dihukum, Menteri dapat layanan istimewa. Kenapa Ahli Parlimen Kerajaan dapat ~RM5juta tapi di pembangkang, hanya RM300k? Orang susah, sakit & lapar hanya di parlimen kerajaan eh? Jangan pung pang pung pang di media social, tapi di parlimen, diam ja. Takut. Saya di parlimen setiap hari. Saya bukan kritik sahaja. Penyelesaian ada juga. Isnin saya diberikan masa untuk berbahas lagi. See you on Monday!
