The Bushman in the Kalahari Desert talk about two "hungers."
There is the Great Hunger and there is the Little Hunger.
The Little Hunger wants food for the belly; but for the Great Hunger, the greatest hunger of all, is the hunger for meaning.
【明月幾時有，把餅問清天】
I sometimes ask myself, what will I do, if I'm caught in a mass disaster?
Will I, like the passengers in United Flight 93, revolt against the 911 terrorists and drive the plane away from their intended target?
Will I do what the 22-year-old Park Ji Young did in the Sewol ferry disaster, refusing to leave the sinking ship as long as there is a passenger onboard?
Or will I just run and flee, and maybe regret for the rest of my life for not doing more to save my fellow humans from dying in vain?
I read reports of the Las Vegas shooting and think about love.
The lack of love that make a person think it is okay to take away the life of another human being.
Leaving behind orphans, broken families, shattered hearts and bloodied bodies.
Few nights ago, a client was lamenting to me.
She couldn't understand why life was happening so badly for her, in her marriage and career.
She was aware of her bad temper but other than that, she didn't think she was that bad a person to deserve such a destiny.
I asked her:
A mother who can murder an innocent child, and have not done any great compensation or repentance for her aborted baby, after 20 years.
Despite me telling her the sins of abortion early this year.
How can a person like this have a good heart?
Just saying that you didn't feel good is not sufficient when you make a deliberate decision to kill.
It's lame.
In the mortal world, murder calls for either lifetime imprisonment or death penalty.
That's just the mortal world.
In the netherworld, when your baby goes screaming and crying to the King of Hades, you pay for your sin with your destiny.
She said I was very blunt to make her understand.
I replied that she has been living in a cloak of self deceit.
Sure I can talk nicely to you, if making money from you is what I care more than your karmic debts.
But I do not see my clients as my ATM machines.
When the notion of self-benefit is non-existent, it is easier to speak the honest truth.
After all, you come to me to change your destiny, not to hear sweet nothings.
Many women aborting doesn't justify it to be a normal or harmless thing to do.
Many people killing senselessly and selfishly doesn't make it right.
It's not easy to be reborn as a human.
In the six realms of reincarnation, the human realm is the most precious as it is most conducive for cultivation towards Buddhahood.
If my memory serves me right, once in a conversation with his disciple, Buddha remarked that the number of sentient beings in this Samsara world is as vast as the number of sand grains in a desert.
With His bare hand, He picked up a handful of sand from the ground.
And said, but the number of people who get to be reborn as humans are only as little as the amount of sand grains in His hand.
Even that little amount is slowly slipping through his fingers as He spoke.
It's even harder to be born as a healthy human who gets a decent education and comprehends what I am writing here.
I like what James Altucher inferred about life: Life is not something given or taken at a whim.
Nobody has the right to take away another person's life.
During CNY this year, Shifu did a Learning Session telling us his world analysis. Which countries we should avoid Travelling to and how there will be many fires around the world, particularly in which countries, that includes bombing and shooting.
I hope the attendees took it to heart.
My Grandmaster, Living Buddha Lian-Sheng has summed the world outlook with a Chinese character "亂" (Messy).
PM Lee has said it's not a matter of whether, but when, a terriost attack may launch in Singapore.
There is darkness in every one of us.
We all had bad thoughts that we never utter.
We all had ugly acts that we don't want others to know about.
But I believe succumbing to darkness never make anyone happy permanently.
In my unhappiest and darkest days, I still hope that someone out there will be happier than me, living a life more fulfilled than mine.
It is so painful that I hope nobody has to go through what I went through.
That is why I take time to write.
While the eventual goal of learning the Dharma is to become a Buddha, there are many ways to start off in a less lofty manner for the uninitiated.
One way would be not to harm others with your words, intent and actions.
That is why our precepts tell us not to kill, not to take what doesn't belong to you, not to deceive, not to engage in sexual misconduct and not to consume intoxicants.
On the surface, it seems we are doing it for ourselves, not wanting more bad karma.
Fact is, we are learning how not to hurt other sentient beings, how to love and live life in a wholesome and meaningful way.
I don't think such thinking is exclusive to Buddhists.
It should be the cornerstone of any human being.
I am an advocate that the good will always triumph over evil.
I always affirm that the Light will prevail over Darkness.
Before we start pointing our fingers at the attackers, let's take an insightful look into ourselves.
Are we acting like a terrorist to our loved ones?
Killing off their happiness and meaning to living by cheating on them or treating them like dirt?
Or killing innocent children we call our flesh and blood?
Are we killing ourselves by living irresponsibly, letting our desires rule over our humanity and never contributing to others?
It is ridiculous to ask love from others when we don't have the capability to love well.
If we have failed before, it is never too late to repent.
This Mid-Autumn Festival, I wish for you to have a heart like the full moon, radiant and bright, dispelling the gloomy clouds of greed, ignorance and hatred.
And wherever or whoever you may be, please be well, kind and happy.
For the ones who died too soon, may you be reborn in a better realm.
往生淨土，超生出苦，
南無阿彌陀佛，
南無阿彌陀佛，
南無阿彌陀佛。

TOP 10 WINTER FRAGRANCES 2016 – 2017 (Best Fragrances for Men / Most Complimented Fragrances)
Hey guys welcome to my Top 10 winter fragrances list for the year 2016 and 2017. These fragrances are all in my opinion the best winter fragrances for men ever made and some of these are also my most complimented fragrances as well. So definitely stay tune until the end the video for the best winter fragrances for men you’ll ever discover.
-----BEST WINTER FRARANCES FOR MEN-----
(Best Fragrances for Men / Most Complimented Fragrances)
Coco Blanc- Best gourmand fragrance I’ve ever smelled and easily one of the best winter fragrances for men but sadly the performance for me is not the best but anywhere else it would be perfect. One of my most complimented fragrances when getting close to people. Highly deserve to be in this Top 10 winter fragrances list.
L’Air Du Desert Marocain- One of the most artistic and hall of fame worthy fragrance on this Top 10 winter fragrances list. Might not be the most complimented fragrances but definitely one of the best fragrances for men if you’re looking for something artsy and different.
Beaver- Super creative, super amazing fragrance. Smells like a clean beaver you can say. But definitely one of the best fragrances for men, and especially good for the winter time because it’s so strong. Again not the most complimented fragrances from this list, but definitely a nice crowd pleaser as well. But warning, never smell this thing too close.
Mandrake- One of the best winter fragrances for men ever in the fruity scene. Incredibly juicy, highly addicting sharp fragrance that is one of the most complimented fragrances for sure when wore in the right situation. Another highly deserve Top 10 winter fragrances.
Sacred Wood- The best sandalwood fragrance ever made and one of the best fragrances for men when we’re talking about wearing a suit, also one of the best winter fragrances because of its strength. Most complimented in a suit as well.
Feve Delicieuse- Delectable, delicious, mouth-watering gourmand fragrance. One of the most complimented fragrances when I go on a date. Girls just love this one, I was actually very surprise of how much they love it. Best fragrances for men in the dating scene. And definitely worthy of this Top 10 winter fragrances list.
Turkish Leather- Very unique gourmand fragrance. This is a leather gourmand. Perfect for the winter time and one of the best fragrances for men when you want something unique yet still has a delicious and edible edge that girls really love. Not the most complimented fragrances in comparison to the other ones, but you would definitely not smell like any girl’s ex-boyfriend. Which is always always a huge plus.
Pardon- Dark, mysterious, and sexy. This is the true meaning behind the term “Alpha Male”. One of the most complimented fragrances I’ve ever own. Best fragrances for men is an understatement with this guy. Truly power as well so also amazing as a winter fragrance. Super deserve to be in this Top 10 winter fragrances list.
Oud Satin Mood- The strongest fragrance on this list and the most complimented fragrances that I own. The one spray to rule them all. 10/ 10 when talking about best winter fragrances for men. And also on that same note, one of the best fragrances for men when you want compliments in the cold.
Absolute Aphrodisiac- Dark, dirty, sexual vanilla fragrance. This is the forbidden fruit that the girls were told not to eat, but you know what happens in the end, they eat it anyway. Crazy crazy sexual fragrance. One of the most complimented fragrances as well as one of the best men fragrances ever made for the winter fragrances category. Highly inviting, highly addicting, and highly highly seducing.

今日のグルメリポート。
年末年始、ほとんどどこにも出かけず体がなまってません？
あたしはなまってました。
なので、三日にようやく重い腰をあげて外に出かけました。
すこしカロリーを消費せねばならん、という目的だったのにどういうこと？
あたしがこういうところで食事をするのって、あんまりないことですけどね。
フレンチっていうんですか？
今回は、たまたまそういう機会になりましたので。
だいたいあたしにフレンチって似合わないでしょ。
New Year, I do not go almost anywhere.
My body was so blunt.
So I finally went out on January 3.
I must consume the calories a little.
Despite I ate.
I almost do not eat French cuisine.
Because I do not really suit me.
Because it seldom suits me.
This is a rare opportunity.
I ate lunch set.
It is a main dish and a soup.
Fish dishes is Poiret of sea bream.
Meat dishes is grilled beef fillet.
I want to eat fish.
I did not know the meaning of 'Poiret' however.
So I chose the Meat dishes.
Is name detective?
We can eat bread as we likes.
Corn cream soup.
Rich flavor of corn.
It tastes good.
There is no appetizer in this set.
So, after the soup is the main dish immediately.
Meat, it is tender.
I can be cut with a knife lightly.
Of course, it is also soft in my mouth.
Sauce is somewhat light taste
It goes well with meat.
Taste of mushrooms, it was a good feeling.
After-dinner drink is coffee or tea or herbal tea.
Suites are also buffet style.
I ate a lot too.
