「其實我今日都不想來宵夜,不過難得某君叫到。」老編和我在等小巴時,都覺鬆一口氣,我說:「那個人的存在,令所有人都不能做回自己,這樣食一頓飯都不會高興。」
「而且他說的笑話得他自己一個懂笑,我們只能假笑。」
「是,不斷說難聽的話,剛才又叫我轉工了。我的前途我自己會把握,不用他說三道四。」
「他上面可能要他交人,受到一些壓力,但他也沒理由日講夜講,打擊大家士氣。但我無所謂,我隨時準備好被炒了!」老編有點激動。
「他覺得自己是對的,像滿有道理。他唯一的好處是有牙力跟新聞社那邊對抗,如果沒有他,編輯部就變得唯唯諾諾。」
「沒錯,傳媒是夕陽行業,但問題是你一直沒有搞好份報紙,令到讀者不斷流失,你沒有radical thinking跳出這個框框,去想想新聞應該做甚麼,每日不斷做routine 的東西,幾有想法也被埋沒吧。」
我點頭稱是,他續道:「做報紙不是靠花巧的東西吸引讀者的眼球,甚麼直題、橫題、轉很多顏色呀、相片要褪地呀,這些東西都distract讀者,是一些noise,真正的新聞要直接講出讀者需要知道的東西,而且要有自己的立場和flow,但老細就鍾意看版面日日有花款,所以我們這些老一輩識得做新聞的,都變得不會工作,因為完全本末倒置了。」
「有內容根本不需要靠太多包裝,」這時小巴剛好來到,待坐好的時候我才繼續說:「不過最大那個屬於精於中文,着重起題的文采和玩字,他覺得這樣才重要。沒錯,精彩的標題會吸引人看,但之後呢?乏善可陳。」
「他的確中文很好,新聞都講究layout,標題呀,新聞的取材,圖片的取捨等等,但我們都沒有自己的主張,日日只喜歡做社會新聞,讀者到底有沒有因為看了你的報紙而了解世界大勢呢?有沒有明白大陸的政策方針呢?沒有,各宗新聞都非常零碎,讀者根本就沒有得着。」
「也很難怪的,變革代表着冒險和出錯。」我想到自己工作久了,也忘了對新聞業的憧憬。
「就是他們抱着打份工的心態。新聞工作者不能想自己是打份工,好像以我來說,我是為正義發聲,即使上頭可能有很多指示,我也努力在有限的空間裡表達新聞自由,而新聞自由是民主社會很重要的元素,你都放棄了,讀者怎能不離棄?」
「太多局限,我曾有段時間考慮轉去做記者,但想到每天要收指示做寫稿機器,還是覺得編輯有丁點自由。」
「現在的寫稿方式也實在太out,一尾只懂用倒序法,人家《紐約時報》對於一些社會新聞會以fiction的手法,用第一身去帶領讀者由這個scene 去到那個scene ,逐個層次去分析,雖然很花心機,但這樣才可令人了解整個新聞的模樣。」
「你看我們的專題新聞就知道有多差,講完一件事,然後是一段回應,一段專家意見,一段某人回應,回應,和回應,記者根本不敢加入自己的想法,也不容許。」
「所以是不是夕陽行業就看你能否改變,還是一直因循下去。你不斷叫那些後生仔走呀,說沒前途呀,這樣根本無補於事,你應該請更多的新人,做好新聞這一行業才是。」
「而且,我的前途,也不由得別人去干涉。我雖然跟他說我會去找工作,但內心還是希望繼續做下去,因為這是的喜歡的工作。」
「不用理會他說甚麼,你覺得應該的就去做吧。」

【玳瑚師父客人見證】 《我生命中的良師益友》
A Good Teacher & A Valuable Friend in My Life (English version below)
文 / 黃騰慶 Written by: Joseph Ng
我早在2006年有幸和玳瑚师父会面,並得到他的慈悲提點,从我的中文姓名測試中更認識自己。我非常驚訝,也讚嘆師父測名的精準,于是請他賜我一個良名。師父他勞心為我量身撰了三个名字,也非常有责任地解釋每個名字選擇的精髓。過去的幾年,我都一直在用我的新名字,使我的職業生涯和人事關係有了顯著的進步。
我也有福份能夠請玳瑚師父到我剛購買的四方式組屋勘察風水。雖然這房子的總面積才那區區的92平方公米,但師父非常細心地看,費了3個小時才大功告成。我覺得真是物有所值!
師父他對這間屋宅的格局並無好評,說這房子是「無情」的,所以我們住進去不會有一個家該有的溫暖和溫馨。他勸我們住滿5年後就搬家。他說最好的風水莫過於先天的格局好,而不是人爲的佈局。我起初也不很重視他這一番忠告,但住在這房子一段時間後就開始懂了。我住在這房子無法一百巴仙自在,也無法真正的感受到家的溫暖。這間接影響了我在事業上的專注,也在某些程度上沖擊了我的婚姻。慶幸的是師父有提供一些在風水上補救的方法,不然我看我的痛苦會加倍。
我如今已不住在那間組屋單位了,也就更明顯地看見生活狀況的差異。還住在那裡的日子裏,我錯失了很多機會來提昇自己的生活。我無論多努力也看不見在錢財方面有轉機,更別提有貴人相助。一切一切都不順心。打從我搬家後,生活的改變迅速而明顯。現在住的地方也有請玳瑚師父來勘察風水。事業和錢財方面都大大改善,貴人也在沒有預料中出來拔刀相助。我在之前的那間組屋根本無美麗的回憶可言,所以我是絕對不會再搬回去那裡住的。
師父也不斷地提醒我年輕時應該多累積善功德,不要貪圖享樂。他說我和太太的先天福份不夠,所以才會拿到那麼差勁的屋子。如果我更早認識玳瑚師父,我一定會請他為我擇屋子。
師父他处事态度认真,外表严肃,但背后影藏着一颗博爱的心和的一個對于善用自己的生命和玄学知識去利益別人的堅定精神。 他拥有非常饱满的佛學知識,更非常樂意地與人分享,勸人向善。 那時候的我對宗教和人生有著許多疑惑,師父也不辭辛勞地為我解答。
對我而言,玳瑚師父不是一個普通的“算命先生”。他是一位言行一致的佛學老師,我生命中的良師益友!

I have had the privilege of engaging Master Dai Hu to do a name analysis for me way back in 2006. It was quite a surreal experience as what he told me, be it my personality traits, my childhood, my career and relationship, was stark accurate. I asked him to pen a new Chinese name for me. He came up with 3 name selections for me, and I was pleasantly surprised how eloquent they sounded. He painstakingly explained the essence of each name selection, and after much consideration, I chose one. I have been using my new name for the past several years, and have experienced positive changes in my career and relationships.
It was also my good fortune to be able to engage Master Dai Hu for a Feng Shui audit of my new 4-room flat. Even though the place was a mere 92sqm, he spent nearly 3 hours going into the details. It was definitely value for money! He did not have a good appraisal of the house, explaining that layout of the flat would not provide the warmth and comfort of a home, and advised us to move as soon as the 5-year Minimum Occupancy Period is up. He said the best Feng Shui comes from having a good layout in the first place and not man-made remedies. At first I did not give much thought to his advice but the longer I stayed there, I realized what he was trying to tell me. I did not feel fully settled at home and this affected my focus at work and to a certain extent, my marriage. Master Dai Hu did advise certain steps to mitigate the negative effect, and I am glad that things did not go any worse.
Now that I am not residing there any longer, the difference in my life is stark and telling. In the past, there were always missed opportunities. No matter how hard I worked, my finances were always in a rut. There were no benefactors in sight and things did not go my way at all. My life has improved tremendously in terms of my luck and career growth since I moved out. Master Dai Hu also did the Feng Shui audit of my current residence. I received unexpected assistance along the way and my career fared much better. There is no way I am going to stay in that house again for all the negative memories it has given me.
Master constantly reminded me not to indulge in worldly pleasures but instead, use the time to accumulate merits through virtuous deeds. He said my wife and I had insufficient merits to begin with in this life and thus ended up with a lousy flat layout. If I had known Master Dai Hu earlier, I would have definitely gotten him to assist in my house selection.
Behind his stern demeanor lies a very compassionate spirit with an insurmountable tenacity to make the best use of his life to help others through his vast experience in Chinese metaphysics. He also possesses a huge wealth of knowledge in Buddhism and is never afraid of sharing it. That was a great thing for me as I was, at that stage of my life, seeking more understanding into the religion and asking a lot of questions about life.
To me, Master Dai Hu is not just your usual "fortune teller". He is a teacher and a mentor in life and Buddhism, and most importantly, a brave and tenacious human being who walks the talk!
