My travels have brought me down so many unforgettable journeys. Journeys to unchartered places, journey to unreachable heights. Journeys to much celebrated glories…
it’s odd on how much i have obtained from these journeys which have only fuelled me with cravings of recognitions and conformation from others.. many material possessions have been obtained on this journey yet I was spiritually empty …
this pandemic gave me a solid time to think.. a solid time to reflect a solid time to reassess .. within those journeys I forgot the most important thing … i forgot me. How could one find love, find meaning and find HIM without first loving oneself…
I learned to do things for me. For my well-being .. I learned to be kind after learning how to appreciate the little things I have … I learned to sit , breathe and appreciate … I Learned to “see” and for seeing I felt HIS grace n existence .. this “Hijrah” gave me a chance to walk further on this journey of mine.
Salam Maal Hijrah …

Wanna hear a true story based on a true life experience?
I've always learnt that life is a learning experience. I grew up having so many amazing people who some taught, showed, lead and even inspired me on how I should perceive what living in this world would be all about. Some may not be as close to me now but they left a positive mark. The negative ones become a light as well. Many who are very close to me now are the ones that bring sunshine and glitters to my life. Thanks for loving me! My experiences has shaped me and having gone through much pain as a kid with a broken family background and betrayals in my early adulthood made me realised that nothing stays the same. It's meant to either be dissolved or grow for the greater. Just like a plant. It grows if we nourish our soul. It dies if we put the wrong soil. At least that's the science of life. And at some point we've gotta make a choice, stand for ourselves and start living the kind of life we want to build. To embrace it as our own, based on our strong believes. And hence a lot of my life experiences has taught me positive and valuable lessons, opened my eyes and mind to the best possible beauty of it's mystery behind many miseries.
Some people questioned where do I gain my perseverance or tolerance? My ability to make peace or always being the one that's willing to accept people or learn in any situation. THAT, made me. I'm not and never a saint or perfecto. I'm just a broken soul. Simple, I was broken many times. And that's the beauty because you get fixed, restored after every crashing (metaphorically speaking. not car crash).
It somehow shaped me. But having to be so open and willing, I learnt the hard way that we should not succumb to people's objectification or patronisation. No one has the right to no matter how powerful they are. I've learnt that it's important to stand firm for yourselves and be able to live based on your values, the vision one has in their mind and passion within their hearts. To represent yourselves. It's makes you a being. More than a being, a soulful empowerment with great vision or mission to define your life and sole purpose of why you do the things you do.
Now we've all got the science of it because it's all being formulated and laid upon us that 1+1= 2 and for some people they live by their treachery ways having believe that - 'THIS is the way. The only way'. And force their way to make people follow their ways. Trust me, I've heard it so many times and sorry to say this even we religious people preaches the same. But aren't we all lost souls who are losing our grips seeking for a saviour or at least something to hold on? Hope ? A light in the tunnel? Money in our empty accounts so we can live comfortably? Investment so our future won't be weary? Fuel to drive our cars? Nice outfits to look good and to cover up our vulnerability? Relationship/friendship to fill our lonely hearts? Curry or gravy in our plain rice ? We are all the same. Everything is a whole and it has connection to it. It's not a separated formula that you call it a subject. It's a whole. We are all the same trying to survive, we are made to fight, rebel and survive. Not generate the art of slavery. Or objectify others based on our statuses. See, the thing is our perspective do make us.
Are we all breathing because we need to or because we want to ? I may be crazy for saying this, but it does make a difference. I don't want to survive, I want to live. I believe we all want the same.
At least we must look also at the artistic side of life (which many of us neglect).
My point is, don't judge. Don't name the value of other's worth because we think we know so. The truth is we have no idea on the cost everyone of us have to pay to be where we are today, still breathing the same air all of us breathe. If you need food to fill your hunger, so does everyone, regardless whether they are short, fat or thin or whether we think their ugly. We are still a body that will one day rot to our flesh and turn to dust. If you need money and finance or wealth, so does everyone. We are no saints nor gods to create what's the 'Shall be' pathway for people. We share our light and fire so everyone could find their way while others found theirs. We share our darkness while some are lost in it so that it could be a guide. Building a dream and our own life perspectively, is what we ought to do, a legacy that would make the world a better place for everyone and not just ourselves. That's an empire of pure joy and legacy. If in the midst we find people rejoicing and being generously helpful with your pursuit, that's a blessing. A family. A unit. Be it permanently or temporarily. They may not stay because we need to move on and they need to move on as well. It's sharing life together as seasons change. We were never meant to destroy each other. We're supposed to help each other to go through seasonal phase and battles so each and everyone of us could find our own way. It is greed and the yearning of power/authority and our deceitful pride that binds and blinds us. Sadly many of us could not live without the pride we have now such as our material possessions, fame, convenience or even authority. As we are inhaling too much of these hazed airs, it becomes toxic within our lungs. It clouds our mind with dusty thoughts, then vaporises it into dirty deceitful acts. I would never want that. As I see many who steps others down to climb up or use others as a benefit, I would long no more for such destructive manner of life. Is that all we've got as humans? I don't believe so.
Am thankful to all whom played a role in my life. Each and everyone of, you are my inspiration. And I thank you. Because of our imperfections and constant struggle to find meaning in life has lead us towards a pure acceptance that strengthen us. It is your tears, joy, story, passion and honesty that motivates me. Today I've pondered upon my own phase of life. What I don't want to be and it has to stop. For it to stop it takes a firm stand. "It just HIT me. I guess I'm broken." Hence it inspired me to write.
*Sorry for the long post. I just had it in my brains and it has been within me for the past few days as I am mentally and physically unwell due to exhaustion or I would say it's definitely an emotional breakdown. I'm in need of a remedy. One that could set me free to take me to greater heights.
*Love yourself and never be afraid to move yourselves to an unknown place for it will widened your capacity. Believe in yourself and never be ashamed of your weaknesses. What have we got to hide ? For every weaknesses shall turn to strengths, hardship and brokenness to empowerment, hard work to success, imperfections to beauty and passion becomes a breathing life.
Live a meaningful life, out of superficiality. That's what we call a rich life.
Cheers :)

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 《供奉神明的真諦》
The True Significance of Deity Worship (English version below)
還沒「正式」為師父之前,吾曾「背包游走四方」,以佛法及玄學,與廣大眾生結緣,也藉此機會,為廣大眾生排憂解難,謀取福利。當時所處理的事件,可分為幾個單元,而在這篇文章所呈獻的,是有關家中供奉神明,的真實義及重要性。願諸位大德觀讀之後,能有正確的理念,千萬不要從俗而供奉,最後卻把神明「拋棄」、送進儲藏室......,有了惡性循環,才去東拜西拜、南求北求、到處尋訪能人異士,那真是"運好"。若碰到「千方百計」的騙子,那可就悲哉慘哉。
有人將供奉已久的神明丟入垃圾槽,妻子與孩子健康、事業、婚姻等都出現問題,自己則心臟出問題。有人將供奉經年的神明「送走」,工作時從高架跌下,除了骨折、生意也沒了、兒子犯法,才去寺廟求神拜佛。有人婚姻出現問題,卻把菩薩金身關進儲藏室。這些人的愚,實在難以置信。因為這些人當中,有些是有認識師父的。就算沒有,也不可因個人的問題,任意地將佛菩薩、諸神明之金身,胡亂處理啊!一失足成千古恨,百千萬劫障礙現,又何必呢?
供奉神明一定要請有德有證量的師父開光。開了光的佛菩薩、諸神明金身,就是活靈活現的佛菩薩、諸神明,不但可保家也可衛國。每日虔心點香上供,唸佛持咒,頂禮禱告,出入平安、上班或做生意皆如意、身心安泰、子女乖巧、學業進步、家和興旺是一定的。
供奉神明更是讓我們以祂們為榜樣,學習祂們的德、學習祂們的捨、學習祂們的定、學習祂們的智慧,等等等。這樣的供奉神明,最終所得一定福德圓滿。

Before I became a Master, I used to 'roam the world' with my backpack. Armed with knowledge of the Dharma and Chinese metaphysics, I would sow seeds of affinity with all whom I met, and duly help those in difficulty and seek merits on their behalves. Those multitudes of problems I have handled at that time fall under a few categories. This article aims to illustrate one particular common problem and its true significance: Deity worship and enshrinement.
I hope all my virtuous readers will realise the true meaning behind this activity, and not to just blindly follow the crowd. And worse still, to discard the deity statues in the end or shove them into the storeroom, never to see the light of day. This negligence will result in negative karma. This vicious cycle of negativity would send most people in a flurry seeking blessings from temples all around and from spiritual practitioners. That is 'good' luck indeed! Should you bump into a fraud who swindle you of your possessions, that would be truly disastrous.
There was this person who thrashed his deity statue and his action subsequently affected the health of his wife and children, and their respective careers and marriages. The person himself then suffered from heart problems. There was another person who sent away his deity statue after worshiping it for many years. He suffered a painful fall at work and broke his bones. His business collapsed and his son got into trouble with the law. All these drove him to seek divine help at the temples. Some people have marital problems yet they chose to keep their deity statues away in the storeroom. Their ignorance is unbelievable. Some of these people know Masters who can guide them if they ask. But even if you do not know any, please do not willfully mishandle the statues of the deities. One missed step could result in a lifetime of regrets. Is it worth it?
The consecration of the deity statues must definitely be conducted by a virtuous master, one who has achieved a certain level of attainment. The statues of the deities become energised with the presence of Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and deities after the consecration ritual, and not only do the deities protect our homes, they protect our country as well. With utmost faith and sincerity each day as we make incense offerings, chanting of mantras as well as daily prayers, our lives will be blessed in various ways like personal safety, prosperity of careers and businesses, good health, obedient children, academic progress and harmony in the family.
The worship and enshrinement of gods and deities is to enable us to learn from their exemplary attributes, to model ourselves after their highest virtues, their willingness to give, their meditative calmness, their wisdom etc. By doing so, we will surely achieve virtuous merits and bliss at the end.
