終於完成了這個形象影片。

謝謝 布萊爾專業錄影團隊製作出如此棒的紀錄！也給我很大的空間做文字創作。

記得當初攝影師在跟我對稿時，他問我：關於什麼是瑜伽，你想要呈現什麼？
我想，以下文字與影片呈現，是我墊子裡外多年以來的心得，在此與大家分享。

很多人問我，瑜伽是什麼。
Lots of people have asked me, “what is yoga all about?”.

我總是會反問著他們，我們在討論的是瑜『珈』還是瑜『伽』？
I always ask them, which aspect of yoga are we talking about?

對我而言，墊子上的練習，是種幫助我們墊子外，能夠更正念活在當下的工具。For me, yoga practice on the mat is one of the tools that helps us to live in a mindful state.

在墊子裡頭，不競爭，不好勝。
While we are practicing, focus on staying peaceful and be less competitive.

專注在自己的呼吸，由裡而外地去觀照自己的身體。
Concentrate on your own breathing, scan yourself in a wholistic way from body to mind.

保持感恩的心情，身體能夠保持著一個最佳狀況，完成今日的練習。
Always show gratitude, respect, and listen to your body to complete your daily practice.

離開墊子上，才是真正練習的開始。
Real practice often begins when we are off the yoga mat as this is when we put our learning into real life scenarios.

它教會了我，起床時，從容地好好享受我的第一杯咖啡 。
It teaches me how to enjoy my morning cup of coffee leisurely when I just wake up.

在這科技綁架的世代裡，我還能專心的寫作創作，享受文字裡頭的一字一句。In this Black Mirror era, I can still concentrate on my writing and enjoy it.

匆忙的都市叢林內，依然能夠自在地做自己。
I can still enjoy my own peaceful life pace in such a frantic environment.

榮格(Jung)曾經說過：『與其做好人，我寧願想一個完整的人。』
Carl Jung is reported to have said - "I would rather be whole than good".

所有的呈現都是你。
Everything is a part of you.

要成為一個完整的人，就是要接受各面向的自己。
We have to accept the multiple aspects of ourselves.

這就是我們在尋找的陰陽平衡。
It’s the Ying and Yang we have been searching for.

每個人都會有光明以及黑暗的一面。
Everyone has their own light and darkness.

好的你，壞的你，平靜的你，頑皮的你，樂觀的你，憤怒悲傷的你，這些都是全部的你。It doesn’t matter if it’s good, bad, peaceful, naughty, positive, or even the darker sides of yourself. Every little different piece builds who you are.

我們在每種面向裡，找到那最平衡的自己，是件一輩子的功課。
Finding the balance within the different sides of ourselves is a lifetime of work.

所以，你問我瑜伽是什麼？
So, if you ask me what is yoga all about？

對自己很出世，對世界很入世。
Stay peaceful and stay grounded to live in this chaotic world.

保持著一顆開放不批判的心與視野，來面對生活中的大小事。
Stay opened-minded and non-judgmental in all aspects of life.

瑜珈最終的本質，就是對生活中人事物的平衡練習。
The truth of yoga is the balance in your life.

Retail Today | Global News: Muji Is Struggling from Overseas Markets 今日零售 | 全球視點: 無印良品 海外市場的巨大挑戰 (中文在下)

In April, Muji's parent company Ryohin Keikaku Co. reported its first decline in operating profit in eight years and a financial outlook below analysts’ expectations, as well as a rare drop in same-store sales in China.

Investors are worried: After the value of the company almost tripled from 2013 to 2018, Ryohin Keikaku shares have declined nearly 40% in the past year.

President Satoru Matsuzaki has embarked on new ventures like Muji-branded hotels and Muji-designed buses while pushing into new markets such as India and Switzerland. To drive growth, he’s now taking steps like shifting production to cheaper locations and designing products specifically for Chinese consumers.

However, Muji still requires a faster adjustment to its overseas sales strategies. Muji always expanded to other countries with the same items it sells in Japan, assuming that its product range needs little translation for overseas consumers. That works well enough for, say, pencil cases, but not necessarily other items: It took Muji a decade in China to introduce sheets that fit standard Chinese beds.

Meanwhile, Muji’s “no brand” branding and straightforward, unchanging designs have made it a prime target for low-cost Chinese copycats. Muji’s prices are considerably more expensive outside of Japan due to taxes and tariffs, and a cottage industry of Chinese competitors like Miniso, Nome and OCE has sprung up to offer the same aesthetic for a fraction of the cost.

To avoid the price competition, Muji plans to produce more of its items in the countries where they’re sold. Next year, the company will roll out over 200 made-in-India products for its local stores. It’s also shifting more production to Southeast Asia, where labor is cheap.

In China, it opened its first development office in September, with employees responsible for monitoring local lifestyle trends⁠—a belated acknowledgment that Tokyo-based designers may not have the necessary insight into Chinese desires. Not everything will be internationalized, however. Muji will continue to make cosmetics, for example, in Japan, as the promise of high-quality raw materials is part of their allure.

Given how quickly its low-cost imitators have moved, Muji faces an uphill battle in China. And there and elsewhere, its ambition to become a global retail behemoth to match Uniqlo may require some of the strategic compromises made by other mass retailers—whittling its 7,000 products down to those of greatest sales potential, manufacturing items for speed rather than durability, and opening large locations in expensive shopping districts.

今年四月，無印良品的母公司 Ryohin Keikaku Co. 報告中顯示，8年來他們的營業利潤首次下滑、財務前景低於分析師的預期，以及中國同店銷售額出現罕見的衰退。

投資者擔心，在2013年至2018年間，公司價值幾乎翻了三倍之後，Ryohin Keikaku 股價卻在過去一年中，下跌了將近40％。

品牌董事長 Satoru Matsuzaki 已開展新的企業體，包括開設無印良品酒店、無印良品設計的巴士，同一時間也進軍印度和瑞士等新市場。為了推動增長，他正在採取新措施，例如將生產工廠轉移到成本更便宜的地方，並專門為了中國消費者設計產品。

然而，無印良品仍需要更快速調整海外銷售策略。Muji 在拓展到其他國家時，多半採取與日本銷售產品相同的策略，也就是假定自家產品到其他市場販售，並不需要太多的修改或客製化。這對鉛筆盒這類商品是還不錯，但卻不一定可以複製到其他品項；舉例來說，無印良品實際上花了十年，才推出適合中國標準床尺寸的床單。

同時，無印良品的「無品牌」品牌、直觀和一成不變的設計，使它變成中國低成本仿冒商的主要目標。由於稅收和關稅的影響，無印良品在日本以外的價格相當昂貴，而Miniso，Nome和OCE等中國競爭對手，透過大量的家庭手工業製造，只需花費很少的成品，就能為消費者提供相同的生活美學。

為了避免落入價格競爭，無印良品計劃在其銷售的國家生產更多產品。明年，他們將為印度門市推出200多種當地製造的產品。還計畫將更多產品轉移到勞動力便宜的東南亞。

在中國，無印良品在去年九月成立第一個開發辦公室，員工負責觀察、搜集當地的生活方式趨勢 - 這也代表著無印良品終於承認，在東京的設計師不見得了解中國當地消費者真正的需求。然而，並非需要把一切都做到國際化。例如，無印良品選擇繼續在日本生產化妝品，因為日本所代表的高品質原材料是一項承諾，仍對消費者存在著重大的吸引力。

因為低成本仿造商的快速推進，無印良品在中國正面臨著一場苦戰。他們將自己定位與全球零售巨頭「優衣庫」齊頭並進的野心，可能需要參考其他大眾零售商一些在戰略上的妥協 - 像是把七千種產品減少，直到只保留最具銷售潛力的品項、快速製造商品而非強調產品的耐久度，以及在高消費購物區開設大型旗艦店等。

【玳瑚師父課室】《第48場回顧：滿心歡喜元旦發財餐會》
48th Learning Session: A Joyful New Year
(English version below)

「請原諒我，師父有時講話不好聽。但我寧願你討厭我，也不要你不知道真相⋯⋯」

玳瑚師父於2018年12月31日晚上舉辦了第48場《滿心歡喜元旦餐會》。餐會開始前，有兩位出席者送上美麗的花束。餐會結束後，眾出席者請師父爲他們買的新書《向善向上2 - 漫畫版》簽名。

以下回顧由當晚出席者，李佳勵女士，所撰寫：

謝謝師父主辦這個《滿心歡喜元旦發財餐會》也謝謝師父的允許，讓我度過一個畢生難忘的"跨年活動"。

師父在餐會的開始，就教導我們如果要得到別人的尊重，你就首先要學會尊重自己。師父也鼓勵我們要對人好，這樣才會為自己來世結下眾生緣。另外，我也從中學習到，從我們身上的哪一個部位可以看穿一個人的真正個性，以及衣著的重要性，為何我們需要有信仰，什麼是投資，為什麼我們不能犯淫，以及吃素是否真的就能成佛等重要知識。

謝謝師父仔細地教導我們在2019的首三天需要做的三件事，讓我們在新的一年可以順利，圓滿地度過。我也學習到在選購新屋子時需要做的十四個步驟。

師父也與我們分析在接下來幾個月，我們需要在健康方面注意的問題。果真如師父所料，在場的三位出席者都因這些毛病而開始身體不適。

除了教導我們一輩子都能受用的知識以外，我更從餐會中學習到師父對所有出席者的大愛與慈悲。相信出席過師父的餐會的讀者們都看過師父在餐會時110%投入。餐會結束後，他也從不計時間地耐心解答出席者各方面的疑問，甚至到每次餐會結束後才有時間飲用飲料。

另外，我也要謝謝師父的加持。我在參加餐會前就因咳嗽，傷風，頭痛而感覺身體不適。因為師父的加持，我在餐會的過程以及餐會後都感到身體的狀況明顯的好轉。

在此鼓勵所有的讀者們，下次的餐會千萬不要錯過!

謝謝師父送給我們2019的第一份🎁!

"Please forgive me. Sometimes what Shifu says may not be music to your ears. But I would rather you hate me, than for you not to know the truth."

On the night of 31 December 2018, Master Dai Hu conducted his 48th Learning Session "A Joyful New Year".

Before the Learning Session commenced, two participants presented Master Dai Hu with beautiful floral bouquets. At the end of the session, several participants sought the autograph of Master Dai Hu, for his new comic book "Towards Kindness, Towards Betterment 2"

The recap below is written by one of the participants, Ms Lee Jia Li:

I would like to thank Master Dai Hu for organising this “A Joyful New Year" Learning Session, and for his permission to attend. I had a very unforgettable New Year Countdown.

At the commencement of the learning session, Master Dai Hu taught us: If you wish for others to respect you, you have to respect yourself first. Master also encouraged us to treat others well, so as to forge affinities with sentient beings for our future lives. Other than that, I also learnt how to tell the real character of a person from this one physical feature.

Other important learning points: the importance of our clothing, why we need to have a faith, what investment truly is, why we must refrain from sexual misconduct, and whether observing a vegetarian diet is the key to attaining Buddhahood, etc.

I am thankful to Master for teaching us in detail what we should do in the first 3 days of 2019, so that the rest of the year would be smooth sailing and successful. I also learnt the 14 Procedures in choosing a new home.

Master also analysed the areas in our health, which we should pay attention to in the upcoming few months. True to what Master had predicted, 3 of the participants present were already stricken with these ailments.

Beside imparting us knowledge, that will benefit us for life, I also learnt the qualities of great love and compassion, with which Master showered upon all participants. I believe participants of his previous learning sessions have witnessed his 110% focus during the events. Even after the session ended, he was generous with his time and patiently clarified the various doubts of the participants, to the extent that he only had time to consume his beverage, after the learning sessions ended.

Also, I wish to thank Master for his blessing. Before the learning session, I was feeling unwell due to cough, flu and headache. As a result of his blessing, I felt my condition improved significantly as the learning session was in progress, and even after it ended.

I hereby encourage all readers not to miss the next learning session!

Thank you, Master, for giving us our first 🎁 in 2019!
