【玳瑚師父客人見證】《玄學。我的改變》
MY TRANSFORMATION WITH CHINESE METAPHYSICS
(English version below)
文 / 林恩宇 女士 Written by: Mdm Lim En Yu
常常會聽到有關風水玄學這東西,我對它們是一竅不通的,但心裡有半覺得這是種迷信的玩意,而且會覺得有必要相信一個你不認識的人,相信他們說你的命運會怎樣怎樣嗎?那可信度到底有多高?預先知道那麼多又應該怎樣呢?
一兩年前,自己遇到諸多不順心的事, 心情甚糟,迷失了自己,迷失了方向,生活過得一塌糊塗。偶然發現身邊的人蠻多都會做這類看家居風水、改名字、 看八字、流年運程的事情。心想生活既然糟透了,試一試也無妨。可我又很在意這準確性,真的不想隨便找個不知曉的師父。結果就在機緣巧合下,通過我姐的介紹,我有幸認識了玳瑚師父。
第一次正式接觸玄學是玳瑚師父爲我看八字的時候。我真的很震撼玳瑚師父能精准的說了無數有關我過去和現在生活的事情。比如說我會有婦女病,我有耳鳴,兩者都對了,因爲在遇見師父之前我做了身體檢查,發現子宮里有個瘤,然後耳朵也比較不靈敏。生活上僅僅的一些小習慣動態,比如我在Starbucks只會買綠茶,而不是咖啡,然後我偏愛吃辣和麵條,竟然也被發現了,當下給了師父一個掌聲鼓勵,瞬間覺得好厲害啊~!不論大小事情,說得簡直就像看透了你的人格,你的思緒,你的動向,讓你無所隱形,真的佩服師父的功力, 讓我深信玄學這奧妙的東西是真的。
另外師父也解說了,預先知道日後的事其實不必擔憂, 只要你跟隨命里的五行元素,用神,把它活化在生活當中,再正面迎對,它真的可以改變,你就可以少走許多冤枉路,從而光明在前,變得更好。於是我開始跟隨我的五行吃有利於自己的食物,穿屬於我的裝扮,瞭解自己好的一面,提點自己把壞的思緒,壞的個性改掉。生活經過師父的指引讓我突然驚醒,慢慢的走出了一個方向。
再來就是改名字。曾經有想過在我女兒出生時,找個師父爲她取個好名,可最終就只隨自己喜歡的字做爲女兒的名字,其實我心裡一直耿耿於懷。在遇到玳瑚師父爲我算八字的時候,師父也稍微從我和我女兒的名字中說出了一些準確的事,比如我的女兒在某歲之間會入院。事實是在師父說這的前幾個月她是真的生病入院了。
其實經過算八字,我對玳瑚師父在玄學這方面有精密深研的知識已是深信不疑的,所以很自然的讓玳瑚師父爲我母女取個符合我們八字的好名,然後跟著師父的指示換名,再把新名字運用在生活上。慢慢的從我女兒身上發現了很大的改變。像以前每次有人叫她時,她總不會回應, 我常會覺得那名字不符合她。新名字就真的點到她了,叫她時她就會回神看你,懂得回答,而且她還會把名字掛在嘴邊,朗朗上口,從不回應到開始說話唱歌都很多,會交流了。至於我自己,我隱隱約約覺得新名字正在糾正和改變著我的心情心態。心裡上有某種平靜的釋放,人變得比較放寬心,從而外在的整體氣色也變得比較有神。八字的運用和名字的改變,身邊的人感覺到我更有氣息,更有光澤和魅力了。
除了玄學風水,玳瑚師父也精通佛學。認識師父後多多少少也對佛學有了一點認識。很慶幸自己買到了師父出版的書 -《向善向上》,這是一本很值得擁有的書,讓我有機會接觸佛學的教誨。很感謝師父會經常在臉書發一些文章讓我們有機會閱讀,從而啓發提點自己必須多多益善。感謝師父的無私大愛,以佛法和玄學替人排解擔憂,讓我有幸成為收益者之一。也很感謝師父在我生活遇到忐忑不安的時候,願意接聽我的電話,給我一些指導。希望有緣人能向我一樣,遇見玳瑚師父。也希望和祝福師父能在佛學和玄學方面,更上一層樓,心想事成。阿彌陀佛。

........................
I often hear of Feng Shui and Chinese Metaphysics, and due to my lack of knowledge in these subject matters, half of my heart dismisses it as superstition. Furthermore, I wonder if it is necessary to believe a complete stranger, who tells me how my fate will pan out. How much of it should we believe? What should we do even if we know so much in advance?
A couple of years ago, I encountered many obstacles in life and that seriously affected my emotions. I lost myself in the process and my life became a mess. It was by chance that I found out that many people around me had done home Feng Shui audits, change of their names, Bazi analysis, annual Luck Cycle analysis, etc. I thought since I had hit the lowest point in my life, there was no harm in giving it a try. But I was hesitant because I was particular about the accuracy of such readings, and did not want to look for any random practitioner unknown to me. A stroke of luck had me meeting Master Dai Hu through the recommendation of my sister.
My first actual experience with Chinese Metaphysics came in the Bazi Analysis session with Master Dai Hu. I was truly shocked that Master Dai Hu could accurately point out numerous details of my past and present. One of the 2 things pointed out correctly by him were the facts that I had women's health issues and also suffering from tinnitus. Prior to meeting Master Dai Hu, I went for a medical examination that revealed a tumour in my womb. And my hearing all along had not been well. Even my small living habits could not escape the eyes of Master Dai Hu. He pointed out that I only buy green tea and not coffe whenever I visit Starbucks, and that I have a penchant for spicy food and noodles. I couldn't help but gave him applause on the spot as a form of encouragement! He was incredible! Be it a small matter or a major issue, Master Dai Hu seemed to be able to see right through your character! My thoughts and plans have no place to hide in front of Master Dai Hu! I am in awe of Master Dai Hu's abilities, which led me to firmly believe that Chinese Metaphysics is indeed not a superstition.
Master Dai Hu also added, that there was no need to be worried about knowing the path ahead. As long as you follow the five elements and your favourable ones, and apply this knowledge in your daily life, you are well equipped to meet the challenges coming your way. He said my life will definitely change for the better, and I would not have to walk down so many wrong paths again, but only towards a brighter future. Therefore, I changed my daily living habits, employing my favourable elements in my diet, even my choice of dressing and make-up. I made an effort to understand my strengths and remind myself to eradicate the flaws in my thoughts and character. The patient guidance of Master Dai Hu was a sudden wake-up call for me, and with it, I gradually found a new direction in my life.
And then there is the name change. I had the thought to engage a Master to pen an auspicious name for my daughter when she was born, but I ended up giving her a name of my own whim and fancy. I felt uneasy because of that. When I met Master Dai Hu for my Bazi Analysis, he told me some brief info about my daughter based on her name. He was spot on. For example, he told me that my girl would be hospitalised before a certain age. Indeed a few months before Master Dai Hu's words, my daughter had already fell sick and warded in hospital.
After my Bazi analysis, I was already convinced by Master Dai Hu's deep and detailed knowledge in Chinese Metaphysics. Hence it was natural that I engaged him to pen a good Chinese name suitable for our Bazi, for both my daughter and myself. I followed his instructions to change my name and employed my new Chinese name in my daily life. The same goes for my girl, and not long after, I witnessed a major change in her. She used to be non-reactive whenever someone called her previous name, and I always felt that the old name was ill-suited. However, with the new name, she became responsive. She likes the name a lot and always say it out loud. She went from a non-responsive child to one that starts talking and singing more and becomes more sociable.
As for myself, I am beginning to feel the subtle influence of the new name on my emotions and mindset. I experience a release of tension and a sense of peace, and become more broad hearted. My overall appearance improved as well, looking much more spirited than before. With the new name and the newly gained knowledge of my own Bazi, the people around me noticed that I have became more lively, radiant and charming.
Feng Shui and Chinese Metaphysics aside, Master Dai Hu is also well-versed in the Dharma. Knowing him more or less gave me a bit of knowledge in Buddhism and its teachings. I thanked my lucky stars that I managed to buy his book Towards Betterment, Towards Kindness. This is a book worth buying as it gave me a chance to know the Dharma. I am thankful that Master Dai Hu often post articles on Facebook that inspire and remind me to do more good deeds, the more the merrier.
I am grateful for the selfless and encompassing love shown by Master Dai Hu, helping many people to resolve their woes, using Chinese Metaphysics and the Dharma. I am one of the fortunate ones. I am also thankful to Master Dai Hu, who answered my call and generously gave me advice over the phone when I was very uncertain in my life. I hope more people have the affinity to meet Master Dai Hu. I would like to wish Master Dai Hu good fortunes. May his spiritual cultivation and Metaphysics knowledge scale to the next level. May his wishes come true.
Amituofo.

今年諾貝爾文學獎得主 #BobDylan 發表謝辭。
Bob Dylan:
Good evening, everyone. I extend my warmest greetings to the members of the Swedish Academy and to all of the other distinguished guests in attendance tonight.
I’m sorry I can’t be with you in person, but please know that I am most definitely with you in spirit and honored to be receiving such a prestigious prize. Being awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature is something I never could have imagined or seen coming. From an early age, I’ve been familiar with and reading and absorbing the works of those who were deemed worthy of such a distinction: Kipling, Shaw, Thomas Mann, Pearl Buck, Albert Camus, Hemingway. These giants of literature whose works are taught in the schoolroom, housed in libraries around the world and spoken of in reverent tones have always made a deep impression. That I now join the names on such a list is truly beyond words.
I don’t know if these men and women ever thought of the Nobel honor for themselves, but I suppose that anyone writing a book, or a poem, or a play anywhere in the world might harbor that secret dream deep down inside. It’s probably buried so deep that they don’t even know it’s there.
If someone had ever told me that I had the slightest chance of winning the Nobel Prize, I would have to think that I’d have about the same odds as standing on the moon. In fact, during the year I was born and for a few years after, there wasn’t anyone in the world who was considered good enough to win this Nobel Prize. So, I recognize that I am in very rare company, to say the least.
I was out on the road when I received this surprising news, and it took me more than a few minutes to properly process it. I began to think about William Shakespeare, the great literary figure. I would reckon he thought of himself as a dramatist. The thought that he was writing literature couldn’t have entered his head. His words were written for the stage. Meant to be spoken not read. When he was writing Hamlet, I’m sure he was thinking about a lot of different things: “Who’re the right actors for these roles?” “How should this be staged?” “Do I really want to set this in Denmark?” His creative vision and ambitions were no doubt at the forefront of his mind, but there were also more mundane matters to consider and deal with. “Is the financing in place?” “Are there enough good seats for my patrons?” “Where am I going to get a human skull?” I would bet that the farthest thing from Shakespeare’s mind was the question “Is this literature?”
When I started writing songs as a teenager, and even as I started to achieve some renown for my abilities, my aspirations for these songs only went so far. I thought they could be heard in coffee houses or bars, maybe later in places like Carnegie Hall, the London Palladium. If I was really dreaming big, maybe I could imagine getting to make a record and then hearing my songs on the radio. That was really the big prize in my mind. Making records and hearing your songs on the radio meant that you were reaching a big audience and that you might get to keep doing what you had set out to do.
Well, I’ve been doing what I set out to do for a long time, now. I’ve made dozens of records and played thousands of concerts all around the world. But it’s my songs that are at the vital center of almost everything I do. They seemed to have found a place in the lives of many people throughout many different cultures and I’m grateful for that.
But there’s one thing I must say. As a performer I’ve played for 50,000 people and I’ve played for 50 people and I can tell you that it is harder to play for 50 people. 50,000 people have a singular persona, not so with 50. Each person has an individual, separate identity, a world unto themselves. They can perceive things more clearly. Your honesty and how it relates to the depth of your talent is tried. The fact that the Nobel committee is so small is not lost on me.
But, like Shakespeare, I too am often occupied with the pursuit of my creative endeavors and dealing with all aspects of life’s mundane matters. “Who are the best musicians for these songs?” “Am I recording in the right studio?” “Is this song in the right key?” Some things never change, even in 400 years.
Not once have I ever had the time to ask myself, “Are my songs literature?”
So, I do thank the Swedish Academy, both for taking the time to consider that very question, and, ultimately, for providing such a wonderful answer.
My best wishes to you all,
Bob Dylan

[Let's get lost forever....where there are no fires or plagues...
some place where we don't have to fight]
當一個公司合約結束時, 它就不知不覺地結束了。在自由身的那一天, 或許會回顧著過去九年的一切, 但也同時感覺不到太大的分別。 但當真的實在地推出了一首歌, 這感覺很真實, 真的感覺在未曾到達過的領域, 在固有的藍圖當中消失了。 但我很樂意, 很樂意終於能當一個成年人, 自己當自己的老闆、自己當自己的唱片公司、自己說的算。 以下我要感謝很多很多人, 包括這次合作的音樂製作和MV製作團隊、前公司的所有同事、Kendy、和所有歌迷粉絲, 讓我可以造就今天的自己。 感謝我新的版權公司 Warner Chappell, 和推廣團隊。
Sometimes when a label contract is over, it’s just over. But you don’t really feel the difference... but this feels so real, and feels like untapped territory. But I’m grateful for my friends - esp my music producer Terrence Ma and my MV director Irving Cheung and the entire production crew for going above and beyond for this song of mine I wrote with tears.
This is my first single since my departure from my old company, and hiatus of my duo. I wish to thank everyone I've ever worked with, past and present, who shaped me into who I am today.
Thanks to Connie Yau @ Spin Creative Designs, who designed my new company logo, and created an instagram filter to promote this song.
Thanks to Warner Chappell, my new publisher, who also went above and beyond for my distribution. Thanks to Jennings and Red Cat for helping me with promotions.
I owe a lot to the people who stuck by me and believed in me, the friends, fans, subscribers and followers, from Hong Kong and everywhere else, for welcoming me back into this journey as a soloist, for respecting my decisions to take a different path. I owe it to my supportive family. I may be forever searching, forever lost, but right now, I’m so glad and happy to be able to be my own label and my own boss, and I'm enjoying every bit of it. Thank you all so much.

《Lost forever》
There’s nothing left to explain
Nothing else can contain
The can of worms opened and words spoken
My broken emotions remain
I take a trip down memory lane
Hoping it could ease the pain
I never wanted it so complicated
But it’s too much too late
It’s not like I got a plan no
It’s not like I got any control
Home is where the heart is
But if it’s broken there’s nowhere to go
Let’s get lost forever
Where no one knows our names
Let's disappear into thin air
Up in the clouds where we can breathe again
Let’s get lost forever
Above the skylines we’ll find
Some place where we don’t have to fight
Let’s get lost forever
So what if time fades the pain
Could we learn to love again
With all the souls shaken and bridges broken
Is it possible to mend
And I don’t care where we go
If I got your hand to hold
Our hearts will guide us home
Back to the places that we used to know
Let’s get lost forever
Where no one knows our names
Let's disappear into thin air
Up in the clouds where we can meet again
Let’s get lost forever
Above the skylines we’ll find
Some place where we don’t have to fight
If all I got is my faith to follow
All I got is a book of unknowns
Then let me take a moment to let go
If all we see are just color codes
But I’m just me and no one really knows
What our future holds
Let’s get lost together
Where there are no fires or plagues
If we could try to do it right again
Would you be there or would you run from me
Just get lost together
If only one day we’d find
Some way where we don’t have to fight
Some way where we don’t have to hide or get lost forever
Lost forever
