( 阿桑留下的小故事...十分勵志. )

=====

阿桑來自台灣, 她唱歌就像描述平淡而幽怨的故事, 十分真實但卻純澈得令人感動。
2009年的4月6日, 阿桑靜悄悄地走了, 她略帶滄桑的磁性嗓音亦從此成絕唱...

Fish Sauce Preparation

( --- posted by Paul 方志捷 on Apr 20, '09 )

Many do it at home with an unsatisfied result, especially Chinese from Viet Nam, they always think that only Vietnamese restaurants can do it the best.

Here are a few steps and ingredients needed.

1/ Use yellow crystal rock sugar instead of sugar.
2/ In order to infuse the crystal rock sugar, hot water can make it fast that shall go chemistry with garlic or juice of garlic.
3/ It is suggested to use very limited water (only the said hot water) but juice of lemon.

If you want to be certified, call me when you prepare a Vietnamese meal, I come over.

水調歌頭 。。。[ 蘇軾 ]

明月幾時有，把酒問青天。
不知天上宮闕，今夕是何年。
我欲乘風歸去，又恐瓊樓玉宇，高處不勝寒，
起舞弄清影，何似在人間。

轉朱閣，低綺戶，照無眠。
不應有恨，何事長向別時圓。
人有悲歡離合，月有陰晴圓缺，此事古難全，
但願人長久，千里共嬋娟。

念奴嬌 - 赤壁懷古 。。。[ 蘇軾 ]

大江東去，浪淘盡、千古風流人物。
故壘西邊，人道是、三國周郎赤壁。
亂石崩雲，驚濤裂岸，捲起千堆雪。
江山如畫，一時多少豪傑。

遙想公瑾當年，小喬初嫁了，雄姿英發。
羽扇綸巾，談笑間、檣櫓灰飛煙滅。
故國神遊，多情應笑我，早生華髮。
人生如夢，一尊還酹江月。

( 丙辰中秋，歡飲達旦，大醉。作此篇，兼懷子由。。。[ 蘇軾 ] )

DIY----Eye Care

( --- posted by Paul 方志捷 on Apr 13, '09 )

Two ways to exercise the eyes where are the weakest part of our body and we can do it easily, any place and any time:

Way #1:
a/ close your eyes then open them widely.
b/ look up and down, look right and left.
c/ look around from right to left as the pin of the clock runs then look around from left to right.
d/ do repeatedly the above a/, b/ & c/ a few times.

Way #2:
a/ rub your both palms (hands) 36 times with force in order to have the warmth.
b/ place each of your palm (hand) onto each eye.
c/ do repeatedly a/ & b/ a few times.

I wish you and I have a good sight (a healthy pair of eyes) when we meet one day.
Paul

A thought of first learning Buddhism

( --- posted by Paul 方志捷 on Apr 02, '09 )

Saying 阿彌陀佛 is doing and thinking 阿彌陀佛.

苦 is a word and 樂 is another word, they are 2 different words, that is the beauty of Chinese culture. Only at and from 苦 then we can find 樂, otherwise 樂 is not there yet but 苦 is.

The best benefit for every one is, doing 樂 for others and self has 樂 in the same time.

如是

橋的故事 - 生命的倒影

Everything happens for a reason.
已經錯失了的過去，將無法從未來得到彌補，
生命不可能擦掉再重來，Undo / Redo buttons don't exist,
別為已經發生的過去哭泣，要為能享有的當下而快樂。

This web site brings back lots of memories, it lists poems displayed on many temples around Saigon/Cholon, the one caught my eyes on 駙馬廟 is indeed quite good:

南朝遠播聲名，靖邊塞，擎天一柱.
北鎮長留義氣，耀精靈，護國千秋.
