【一念桃花開】(English writing below)
The Peach Blossom Blooms In a Single Thought
我年少時就有暗瘡的問題, 因為使用藥物,後來皮膚就變過敏。
無論是開架或專櫃,不是很多護膚品牌適合我,,而很慶幸的,Innisfree對我的肌膚還蠻管用的。
昨晚,我到Innisfree的專賣店把用完的護膚品空瓶拿去回收。
然後,就在店裡逛,想找我慣用的寒蘭睡眠面膜,可是怎麼找都找不到。我轉頭向身旁熱情的服務小姐詢問。
她便跑去請教一位在收銀台的較資深同事。
得知斷貨了,店員也不曉得幾時會來貨。
後來,我選擇買綠茶睡眠面膜,因為在網路上有讀到不錯的評價。
當收銀員把產品交給我時,她叫我稍等。接著,她找尋了一些贈品送給我。這是許多韓國護膚美妝品牌的一貫作風。
我拿著贈品離開店時,對收銀員的舉動忽然恍然大悟。
我買了一個睡眠面膜
收銀員又送我兩款睡眠面膜的贈品。
這是明智之舉 - 給予客人她會用的產品,而不是一些她可能不會使用的產品。
畢竟,不是每個女生都會在自己的臉上,抹上幾百種護膚品。
其中一個贈品是我剛才在尋找的寒蘭睡眠面膜。
這真是暖心之舉 - 記得客人在尋找的護膚品。
她不知道我是否是這產品的回頭客,或是第一次購買。但重點是,她不但記得我的詢問,還特別贈給我小樣品,讓我這心願得以滿願,不至於白跑一趟。
她這小小的舉動,就是佛法上所說的佈施。
佈施最基本的用意,就是付出自己,解決別人的困厄,給予別人快樂。
盡的心意越多,種的福根越深,若再加上歡喜心去做,那未來際得到的敬愛,必會廣大無邊。
很多人以為佈施這字是用在外人身上,可不知我們身邊的人也一樣仰賴我們的佈施,心靈才能得到愛的滋潤。
我客人當中就有很多這樣的例子:
老公嫌太太忙著孩子,無暇聆聽他的心事,沒有支持他的夢想。
太太嫌老公變了心,沒有像熱戀時那麼地愛護她,照顧家庭。
爸爸嫌兒子不長進,老是打電動。
兒子嫌爸爸不了解他的喜好,總是逼他做他不喜歡的事。
媽媽嫌女兒沒大沒小, 女兒嫌媽媽規矩多。
老闆嫌員工不夠盡責,員工嫌老闆吝嗇。
這些問題的起源,都是來自於兩人計較佈施,或不願佈施。而物以類聚的原理,就會吸引了自己一樣的人。
在家裡,我們需要桃花,才能得到家人之間的愛戴和和睦。
在外,我們也需要桃花,做起事來才會比一般人容易。
而桃花的大小,來自於你能佈施多少的愛。你佈施的心態,也決定了你福報的大小。
我們的周遭都是佈施的機緣,所以不可能沒有機會佈施。
小的佈施,是在家。走出家門,更有大把佈施機會包圍著你,東南西比中,360度你轉哪一個度數,都有佈施的因,是看你怎麼去把握。
所以沒有所謂為什麼命會這樣,而是你沒有把握機會。
嘗試釋放自己,去擁抱一個更有愛的你,更有愛的生活方式。當你能把這快樂帶給很多人時,你會發現你生命的無限潛能,而重新愛上自己。這也是你能給予你自己最大的敬愛,最大的桃花之一了。

......................
I have acne skin as a teenager, and somewhere along the way, my skin turned sensitive.
Not many skincare brands, drugstore or over-the-counter, work for me, and Innisfree, to my delight, is one that works
So just now, I dropped by Innisfree to return my empty bottles (in my Stories)
I then browsed the shelves, looking for the Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask. It was not there. I turned to ask the enthusiastic salesgirl beside me.
She went off to ask the more senior staff, who was behind the cashier counter.
No luck, it was out of stock and they had no idea when it would be back.
I ended up buying the Green Tea Sleeping Mask, having read great reviews online.
As the cashier passed me my purchase, she told me to wait for she wished to give me some samples to try, the de-facto practice of many Korean skincare and makeup brands.
When I left the store with the samples in hand, it dawned on me what the cashier had done.
I bought a sleeping mask.
She gave me two other sleeping mask varieties.
That’s smart - giving what the customer uses, and not some product that that customer may not use.
Not every girl plaster a million products on her face.
One of the samples was the Jeju Orchid Sleeping Mask!
That’s heartwarming - to remember that the customer was looking for.
I could either be keen in that mask, or a repeat buyer. But the key is, not only did she remember my inquiry, she gave me a sample that would not make this trip a wasted one.
This small act of consideration from the sales person is what we called Giving, in Buddhism.
The more thought you put in your giving, the more good fortune you are planting for yourself. When you give with happiness, then the love and respect you receive in future will be vast and boundless.
Many people mistook that the word Giving is to be used on outsiders. They are unaware that the people around us also need our giving to nourish their hearts.
There are many such examples in my clients:
The husband feels that his wife is too occupied with the children. She does not make time to listen to him or support his dream.
The wife rants about her husband having a change of heart and does not care for her, or love the family as before.
The father finds fault with the son's constant gaming, and scolds him for not being hardworking.
The son thinks the father does not care about what he likes, and always forces him to do things that he does not like.
The mother says her daughter is rude to her, while the daughter complains that her mother has too many rules.
The boss sees that his employees are not doing their best, while the employees sees their boss as a stingy man.
All these problems arise from two persons being calculative in giving, or unwilling to give. Given the principle of "Birds of the same feather flock together", you inevitably attract a person who is similar to yourself.
In the confines of our home, we do need Peach Blossom Luck, so that there will be love and harmony among our family.
Beyond our home, Peach Blossom Luck is definitely a must, for that will help us to get things done easier.
The amount of our Peach Blossom Luck is dependant on how much love you give out. The attitude you have when giving will decide the size of your good fortune.
There are plenty of opportunities for us to give, so there is no such thing as no chance to give.
Small acts of giving starts from home.
As you step out of your home door, there are even more giving opportunities surrounding you, no matter which degree of direction you turn.
It is up to you to grasp the opportunity. Like the Innisfree sales person who sees hundreds of people weekly, do your job well, and do it very well every day. That is massive giving, which will sow many seeds of favourable Peach Blossom Luck.
So there is no such thing as to why your Destiny isn't great. It was you who did not make the smart decision to do the right thing.
Try to let go of your resistance, and go embrace a more loving you, a more loving way of living. When you can bring happiness to more people, you will discover the limitless potential in your life and fall in love with yourself all over again. That will be one of the greatest love and respect and Peach Blossom Luck you can give yourself.

【時事新聞】
Donald Trump, Bucking Calls to Unite, Claims ‘Mandate’ to Be Provocative
旋風再起,川普的口無遮攔,竟源自於選民的委任
Donald J. Trump’s behavior in recent days — the political threats to the House speaker, Paul D. Ryan; the name-calling on Twitter; the attacks on Hillary Clinton’s marriage — has deeply puzzled Republicans who expected him to move to unite the party, start acting presidential and begin courting the female voters he will need in the general election.
唐納•J•川普(Donald J. Trump)最近幾天的行為—像是對眾議院議長保羅•D•萊恩(Paul D. Ryan)發出政治威脅、在Twitter上罵人、攻擊希拉蕊•柯林頓(Hillary Clinton)的婚姻—讓一些共和黨員深感困惑。他們原本希望川普能動起來,並團結全黨,開始表現出像個總統的樣子,並著手爭取他在大選中所需要的女性選民的支持。
But Mr. Trump’s choices reflect an unusual conviction: He said he had a “mandate” from his supporters to run as a fiery populist outsider and to rely on his raucous rallies to build support through “word of mouth,” rather than to embrace a traditional, mellower and more inclusive approach that congressional Republicans will advocate in meetings with him on Thursday.
但川普的選擇反映出了一個不尋常的信念:他表示自己得到了支持者的「授權」,要以一個激情四射的民粹主義局外人的身份競選,並依靠喧鬧嘈雜的集會,通過「口耳相傳」的方式來尋求支援,而不是採用更傳統、圓滑、且更全面的方式。國會的共和黨員將在週四與他舉行會面時提倡後者的形式。
Mr. Trump’s strategy is replete with risks. Roughly 60 percent of Americans view him negatively, according to pollsters, who say more-of-the-same Trump is not likely to improve those numbers. While a majority of Republican primary voters said they were looking for a political outsider, Mr. Trump will face a majority of voters in November who prefer a candidate with political experience, according to primary exit polls and several national polls. Many Republicans think they will lose the presidency and seats in the House and Senate if he continues using language that offends women and some racial and religious groups.
川普的戰略充滿風險。民調專家們認為,約60%的美國人對川普抱持負面的評價,並指出若是川普不作出重大改變的話,是不太可能改善這些數據的。儘管大部分共和黨初選選民稱他們期待出現一個政治局外人,但初選出口民調和幾次全國性民調顯示,川普在今年11月所面對的選民中,大多數更喜歡有政治經驗的候選人。很多共和黨員認為,如果川普繼續使用會冒犯女性及一些種族和宗教團體的語言,他們將失去總統的寶座和參眾兩院的諸多席次。
Still, Mr. Trump’s message, tone and policy ideas have drawn followers who are more passionate than Republican nominees typically enjoy, and he has monopolized the political conversation and news coverage of the race. Some Republicans argue that he cannot afford to change his stripes too much, while strategists in both parties say he is shrewdly sticking with a style that drowns out attacks that could deepen his negative rating.
但川普的觀點、口吻和政策理念依然吸引了一些追隨者。他們比典型的支持共和黨提名人選的選民更熱情,並且川普壟斷了有關政治的談話和新聞媒體對選舉的報導。一些共和黨員主張川普不能改變太多,而兩黨的策略師則認為他是在精明地堅持一種風格,而這種風格會把可能加深對其負面評價的攻擊淹沒。
“His rally rants and Twitter brawls are meant to dominate the media coverage and public conversation so that Democratic challenges have less space to break through all of the noise,” said Guy Cecil, the chief strategist and co-chairman of Priorities USA, the “super PAC” supporting Mrs. Clinton. “He doesn’t want people talking about his record or positions.”
「他在集會上的咆哮和在Twitter上的爭吵是為了主導媒體報導和公眾談話,這樣一來民主黨的挑戰就沒有太多餘地去突破所有這些噪音,」支持希拉蕊‧柯林頓的超級政治行動委員會「優先美國」(Priorities USA)的首席策略師兼聯合主席蓋伊•塞西爾(Guy Cecil)說。「他不想讓人們討論他的過去記錄或其他職務。」
Mr. Trump, in a telephone interview, compared his candidacy to hit Broadway shows and championship baseball teams, saying that success begot success and that he would be foolish to change his behavior now.
接受電話採訪時,川普將自己的候選人身份比作熱門的百老匯表演和奪冠的棒球隊,稱成功是成功之母,並表示現在改變行為舉止是愚蠢的。
“You win the pennant and now you’re in the World Series — you gonna change?” Mr. Trump said. “People like the way I’m doing.”
「在聯盟內獲勝了,現在要參加世界大賽,這時候改變?」 川普說。「人們喜歡我現在的方式。」
He argued that he stood a better chance of inspiring voters in states like Ohio and Pennsylvania if he was his authentic self, rather than shifting from populist outsider to political insider to please a relative handful of Republican elites who are part of the establishment he has railed against for months. He said his huge rallies, where outbursts of violence and racist taunts have vexed many Republican leaders, and his attacks against adversaries on Twitter and in television interviews would continue because he believes Americans admire his aggressive, take-charge style.
他說,只要堅持做真實的自己,而不是從一個民粹主義外行變成一個政治內行,好取悅相對而言屬於少數的共和黨精英,他就有更大的機會去爭取俄亥俄和賓夕法尼亞等州選民。共和黨精英正是他數月來所抨擊的建制派的一部分。他說他會繼續舉辦大型集會,繼續在Twitter上和電視採訪中回敬對手的批評謾罵,因為他相信美國人欣賞他這種好鬥、發號施令的風格。支持川普的大型集會中,充滿爆發力的暴力行為和種族歧視的酸言酸語,使很多共和黨領袖大為光火。
“I think I have a mandate from the people,” Mr. Trump continued, referring to his victories in 29 states, including Nebraska and West Virginia on Tuesday night. “The people are tired of incompetent leadership at the highest level. They’re tired of trade deals that are ripping our jobs apart and taking their wages.”
「我認為我得到了人民的授權,」 川普繼續說。他指的是他在29個州取得的勝利,包括週二晚上在內布拉斯加和西維吉尼亞州的獲勝。「人們厭倦了最高階層者在領導方面的無能。他們厭倦了就業機會被破壞,厭倦了掠奪他們的工資的貿易協定。」
Mandates are usually claimed after a presidential candidate wins a general election, not a party nomination, but part of Mr. Trump’s style and strategy is to project a supreme confidence in himself and his popularity with voters. Several Republicans said they put little stock in his claim, arguing that he had won support from only a fraction of the electorate and had yet to prove he was worthy of leading the entire Republican Party, not just his fractious and highly visible wing.
總統候選人通常是在贏得大選,而不是黨內提名後稱自己獲得了授權,但川普的風格和戰略的一部分就是展現對他自己,以及選民所對他支持的超級自信。多名共和黨員表示他們幾乎不相信川普所說的話,且認為他只是贏得了全體選民中的一小部分人的支援,尚需證明他適合領導整個共和黨,而不只是他所在的那個脾氣暴躁且愛出風頭的派系。
“Donald Trump did earn a mandate from Republican primary voters,” said Senator Patrick J. Toomey, a Republican facing a tough re-election fight in Pennsylvania, whose primary Mr. Trump won with 57 percent of the vote. “My advice to him is that he should now consider how he will appeal to the many Republican and non-Republican voters who have serious concerns about his candidacy.”
「唐納•川普的確從共和黨初選選民那裡贏得了授權,」面臨著激烈的連任競選大戰的賓夕維尼亞州共和黨參議員派翠克•J•圖米(Patrick J. Toomey)說。「我對他的建議是,他現在應該考慮如何向對他的候選人身份嚴重關切的那許許多多的共和黨和非共和黨選民來爭取支持。」在該州的初選中,川普贏得了57%的選票。
Former Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire said that electoral mandates were a fallacy in American politics, and that leaders only did well when they focused on “ideas in the center that unite people.”
前新罕布夏州參議員賈德•葛列格(Judd Gregg)表示,選民的授權是美國政治中的一個謬論,且領導者只有在把重點放在「把人們團結起來的核心理念」上時,才會有好的表現。
“I don’t even think the 1980 Reagan landslide gave Reagan a mandate,” said Mr. Gregg, whose state gave Mr. Trump his first win in the primaries, and who has not decided if he will follow through on his pledge to support the Republican nominee. “He was effective because the country was in terrible shape and he was able to bring large numbers of people behind his ideas. Trump hasn’t done that.”
「我甚至認為雷根1980年的壓倒性勝利都沒讓他得到授權,」尚未決定是否兌現支持共和黨提名人選承諾的葛列格說。在他所在的州,川普贏得了初選中的首場勝利。「他能有效發揮是因為當時國家是一個爛攤子,所以他能夠讓大量民眾支持自己的觀點。然而川普還沒做到這一點。」
But Patrick J. Buchanan, the conservative commentator and past presidential candidate, said Mr. Trump was rallying historic numbers of voters with a mix of conservative ideas and anti-establishment populism that evoked, among other politicians, Ross Perot and his magnetic appeal in the 1992 campaign. Mr. Perot lost, of course, but Mr. Buchanan said that Mr. Trump might stand a better chance.
但曾經競選過總統的保守派評論人士派翠克•J•布坎南(Patrick J. Buchanan)表示,川普正在用保守思想和反正統民粹主義的結合,團結一群規模空前龐大的選民。這種反正統民粹主義讓人想起了羅斯•佩羅(Ross Perot)等政界人物,以及佩羅在1992年競選總統時那有如磁鐵般的吸引力。當然佩羅失敗了,但布坎南稱川普的機會可能比佩羅再大一些。
“With the largest Republican turnout ever, Trump eliminated 16 rivals and is on track to winning more votes than any Republican nominee in history,” he said. “That gives him a mandate to lead the Republican Party and move ahead with his plans to secure the border, pull back from foreign interventions and wars, and end these terrible trade deals.”
「在共和黨投票人數達到有史以來的最高點的情況下,川普淘汰了16名競爭對手,並且有望成為史上獲得選票最多的共和黨提名人,」他說。「這會給他授權來領導共和黨,並推進保護邊境、從境外干預和戰爭中抽身,以及結束這些糟糕的貿易協定的計畫。」
In Mr. Trump’s view, the rallies and the Twitter wars — even when he is punching down against a little-known evangelical leader (Russell Moore of the Southern Baptist Convention) and a cable talk show host (Joe Scarborough of MSNBC), as he did recently — are crowd-pleasers, creating buzz that is critical to dominating the political landscape and overshadowing Mrs. Clinton’s message and attacks. Last week, he kept his commitments for rallies in Nebraska, Oregon and Washington State, even though he already had a lock on the nomination.
在川普看來,集會和Twitter上的戰火—即便是在他像前不久所做的那樣,攻擊一名鮮為人知的基督教福音派領袖(美南浸信會[Southern Baptist Convention]的羅素•摩爾[Russell Moore])和一個有線頻道脫口秀節目主持人(MSNBC的喬•斯卡伯 [Joe Scarborough])時—都是取悅民眾的行為,能夠製造轟動,而這種轟動,對主導政治形勢和讓希拉蕊‧柯林頓的言論及攻擊黯然失色是至關重要的。上個星期,他履行了在內布拉斯加、俄勒岡和華盛頓州舉行集會的諾言,儘管他在獲得提名一事上已勢不可擋。
“In a Broadway theater, the best, the best, absolute best sale is called ‘word of mouth,’ ” said Mr. Trump, who once dabbled in theater producing. “If people love a Broadway show, it’s better than if you write a good review. Word of mouth is the No. 1 thing. And the word of mouth at my rallies is like, ‘You’ve got to go see it.’ And, you know, one person goes and they talk about it to 20 people.”
「在百老匯劇場裡,最好的,最棒的,且鐵定是最強的銷售技巧叫『口耳相傳』,」曾涉足戲劇製作的特朗普說。「要是人們喜歡百老匯的一齣戲,這比寫一篇優秀的戲劇評論還有用。口耳相傳是最有效的。而我的集會上的口耳相傳就是,『你一定得親自去看看。』而且我想你也知道,要是有一個人去了,他們就會告訴另外的20個人。」
