吃肉=吃毒?
.
我的學員中有從事「畜牧業」的，他們說有些飼養者會在飼料中添加很多合成的配方，或者是不符合自然規律的添加物，這些成分對動物造成了很大的傷害，人們長期食用也會危害身體健康。下面我提出幾個看法給大家參考看看。。 。
.
第一、2015年10月26日，世界衛生組織正式發布消息，將加工肉列為「一級致癌物」，而紅肉也是2A級致癌物，並指有研究發現進食加工肉和紅肉與大腸癌、胰臟癌及前列腺癌等疾病有關連。
.
第二、在一九六一年「美國醫藥學會」會刊就曾報導：「素食至少可以預防百分之九十到九十七的心臟病。」
.
第三、除了人類健康之外，少吃肉還能减少一半温室氣體排放。
牛津大學統計了英國5萬多人的飲食資料，並計算出相應的飲食碳足跡，結果發現：如果每天吃超過100克肉的肉食主義者改做素食，他們飲食碳足跡將減少60％，相當於每年減少1.5噸二氧化碳排放。即便不選擇完全素食，碳排放也將減少三分之一，相當於每年減少近1噸的二氧化碳。(以上請參考下方原始連結)
.
綜合以上提出的問題告訴我們：
「多吃蔬菜、水果、穀物的草食型飲食習慣者｣，健康情況比肉食型飲食習慣者好得太多。 
.
所以，「少吃肉｣，既健康又環保，「健康蔬食｣，不僅能拯救你的健康，還可以拯救地球。

Consuming meat product = taking poison?

I have students who are engaged in "animal husbandry". They said that some breeders will add a lot of synthetic formula in the feed, some do not meet the additives regulations. These ingredients caused harm not only to animals, but humans as well. The long term effects to our health after consuming them is detrimental. Here I put forward a few opinions for everyone to ponder.

1. In October 26, 2015, the World Health Organization officially released news that processed meat is listed as a "first-class carcinogens", and red meat is grade 2A carcinogens. The study found that having large intestine cancer, pancreatic cancer, prostate cancer and other diseases are related to eating processed and red meat.

2. In the 1961 issue of the American Medical Association's journal, it was reported that "vegetarianism can prevent at least ninety to ninety-seven percent of heart diseases."

3. Not only does vegetarianism improve our health, it can reduce greenhouse gas emissions by half.
Statistics done by Oxford University on dietary habits of more than 50,000 people in Britain and their corresponding carbon footprint showed that: If a person who eats more than 100 grams of meat daily were to convert to vegetarianism, their dietary carbon footprint will be reduced by 60%, resulting in an annual reduction of 1.5 tons of carbon dioxide emissions. Even if you do not choose to be a complete vegetarian, carbon emission will be reduced by one third, equivalent to an annual reduction of nearly 1 ton of carbon dioxide. (Please refer to the original link below)

We can conclude from the above that:

The benefits of a vegetarian diet of mainly vegetables, fruits, cereals, far outweighs a meat diet. 
Therefore, not only is being a vegetarian healthier, it is also environmentally friendly because we are helping to save both ourselves and our planet Earth.

In order to free all sentient beings from pain and suffering, and live in joy and happiness, Sakyamuni Buddha taught us the most precious way of practice: to view and treat the world with great compassion; one compassionate thought can eliminate the calamities of hundreds of lives.

Chanting to Sakyamuni Buddha can free us from adversities and help us obtain health and auspiciousness. With reverence, I recorded the Chanting to Sakyamuni Buddha. May we chant and praise the Buddha together.

【週六網路共修預告】（２０１７年５月０６日）
.
.
宋代有一個富商，他平日深信佛法，樂善好施，是鄉裡口中的大善人。
.
有一天，菩薩托夢讓他去買一批藥材，他就划船到菩薩指定的地方，卻看到一個人嚷嚷著說要自殺，他旁邊幾個工人對商人說：「我們攔著呢，最近因為天候不佳，老闆的藥材全潮了，根本賣不出去，剛才正鬧著要跳江自殺，誰能幫他呀？」富商聽完想說，我就做個善行吧！你這一批藥材我出高價買了吧。
.
富商買了藥材後，當晚睡覺又夢到菩薩對他說：「你先把這貨存起來，千萬別賣。」雖然富商心中很心疼那些錢會血本無歸，但還是按菩薩的指示做了。
.
幾個月後，村中突然鬧了嚴重的疫症，短短不到半個月，這個城市的人竟然死了一半。
.
一天晚上，富商又夢到菩薩說：「明天你再把鴨梨買下來，鴨梨配你上回買下來的藥材、熬煮成藥給大家喝、喝一碗就會有效果了，但是切記，一碗湯只能收取一毛的微薄利潤，千萬不能多收。。」
.
隔天，富商照著做了，但因為求藥的人實在太多，他乾脆在井邊開始燒水熬藥，一碗湯藥救一個人命。因此，他救了整個城市，而這個救人的功德，也讓他的兒孫世世代代都享受著榮華富貴。
.
其實，這個富商的前世、是一寺廟的出家和尚，他曾發下願望：「我修佛法，受這一方眾生供養，有一天，我一定要回報這個城市的人，我要幫助他們。」
.
所以，慈悲能令一個凡人變成聖人。當我們學做一個慈悲的人，這種慈悲的力量、會讓一個人產生不可思議的變化，產生不可思議的改變，甚至讓你的後代子孫都得同享福蔭。
.
歡迎大家本週六與我共同聊聊，如何讓生命更圓滿、更富有、更幸福、更快樂！祝福大家，智慧通達，圓圓滿滿！.

Notice of Online Global Group Practice (Saturday, May 06, 2017)

During the Song Dynasty, there was a wealthy businessman who was well-versed in the dharma and was a respected philanthropist in his village.

One day, a bodhisattva appeared in his dream and instructed him to buy a batch of medicinal herbs. He rowed his boat to the designated place as told and saw a man wanting to attempt suicide. Next to him were a few of his workers and they told the businessman, “We are trying to stop our boss from committing suicide. We can’t find a buyer for this batch of medicinal herbs because the rain has dampened the stock.” Upon hearing this, the wealthy man kindly offered to buy all the herbs at a premium.

On the same night, the bodhisattva appeared in the wealthy man’s dream and said, “Keep the herbs that you have bought. Do not sell.” Although the wealthy man felt sorry for the money he had spent, he followed the bodhisattva’s instruction.

A few months later, there was a serious epidemic outbreak in the village and half of the villagers died from the disease in less than a month.

One particular night, the bodhisattva re-appeared in the wealthy man’s dream and told him, “Buy some pears and brew them together with your herbs for everyone to drink. One bowl is effective to cure a person. But remember, only a dime of margin for each bowl. You must not overcharge.”

The next day, the wealthy man did as told. Since there were many sick people, he simply boiled his medicinal soup next to the well to cater to the large crowd. Therefore, he saved the entire village. The merits he accumulated from this event were passed on to his descendants and they are able to enjoy comfortable life for many generations.

In fact, this wealthy man’s previous life was an ordained monk. In that life, he made a vow to practice the Dharma diligently so that one day he will be able to repay the kindness of the villagers.

Therefore, compassion can turn a mortal into a sage. This power of compassion can bring about incredible transformation to a person’s life and his descendants.

I welcome everyone to join me coming Saturday for a discussion on how we can lead a more fulfilling, prosperous and happy life! May everyone be blessed with abundance and wisdom!

一位英文同修的來信
.
今天，有一位英文同修給我留言，他說：
.
(以下為英文來信的翻譯文字…)
兩天前，我在印尼雅加達，和我的商業合作夥伴會談。在等飛機的時候，我們一起談起了禪修。我才發現他也學習禪修，而且他完全是從菩提禪修的網站及師父的Facebook直播來學習的。

他提到，他曾經跟很多的師父學習過，但金菩提禪師是最好的，因為師父能夠將佛法和日常生活結合起來，並引領大家走過生活中的起起伏伏。能夠成為師父的弟子，他感到非常幸運。他從網站下載了很多的視頻，並且每天跟著視頻學習。他特別加了一句：他很期待下一次師父的直播。

“
I met one of my business counterpart in Jakarta two days ago. We were having discussion on meditation while waiting for our plane. I found out that he learnt his meditation and master teachings through put.org web site and Master Facebook live teaching. He mentioned to me that he went to a lot of masters but found that master jinbodhi teaching is the best. Master is able to relate Buddhist teaching to our daily lives and able to guide sentient beings through their ups and downs in life.

He mentioned that we are very lucky to be Master disciples. He had downloaded a lot of videos from put.org and watching master teachings almost everyday. Also he is looking out for the next master Facebook live chat. 😀 .

A Letter from an English speaking practitioner

Today, an english speaking practitioner left me a message. He said,

“I met one of my business counterpart in Jakarta two days ago. We were having a discussion on meditation while waiting for our plane. I found out that he learnt his meditation and Master's teachings through Puti.org web site and Master's Facebook live teaching. He mentioned to me that he went to a lot of masters but found that Master JinBodhi's teaching is the best. Master is able to relate Buddhist teaching to our daily lives and able to guide sentient beings through their ups and downs in life.

He mentioned that we are very lucky to be Master's disciples. He had downloaded a lot of videos from puti.org and watched master’s teachings almost everyday. He is also looking out for the next Master’s Facebook live chat. 😀 ”

I am glad to hear this. So today we have a recital an extra time my “Golden words”! 
 I am the best! 
My English team volunteers are all the best!

如何讓心更強大
.
用心去愛、去幫助這個世界，
就會讓我們變得更強大。

用自私的心去成就自己的慾念，
就容易毀滅自己。----金菩提禪師

Love and help this world as this will make us stronger.
If we have only selfish intention to fulfill our desires, this will easily destroy us.
