生日快樂狄倫伯！ 🍻
　
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
And may you stay
Forever young

今天是民謠詩人巴布狄倫（Bob Dylan）74歲生日！生日快樂狄倫伯！
　
「他把民謠插上電，並用詩歌的語言讓搖滾開始從青少年的娛樂變得更世故與繁複。狄倫是六O年代這個二十世紀最瘋狂迷人的精神代表。他雖然只寫了幾年所謂『抗議歌曲』，但這些歌曲卻展現了一整個青年反文化世代的困惑與吶喊；然後，他在六O年代中期的轉型預視了六O年代後半期終於降臨的暴雨。再者，他為世界示範了一個搖滾傳奇如何可以優雅地老去。」──張鐵志

The Times They Are A-changin'
時代正在改變
　
By Bob Dylan，馬世芳譯
　
Come gather 'round people
Wherever you roam
And admit that the waters
Around you have grown
And accept it that soon
You'll be drenched to the bone
If your time to you
Is worth savin'
Then you better start swimmin'
Or you'll sink like a stone
For the times they are a-changin'
來吧，鄉親父老，
不管你在那兒，過來聽我說
承認吧，周圍的水位不斷上漲
你們很快就會浸濕浸透
假如你們的光陰值得珍惜
最好趕緊開始游泳
否則你們就要石沈大海
因為時代正在改變
　
Come writers and critics
Who prophesize with your pen
And keep your eyes wide
The chance won't come again
And don't speak too soon
For the wheel's still in spin
And there's no tellin' who
That it's namin'
For the loser now
Will be later to win
For the times they are a-changin'
來吧，作家和評論家，聽我說
你們搖著筆桿，預言未來
請你睜大雙眼，機會不會再有
先別妄下斷言
畢竟巨輪還在運轉
沒人知道誰將留名
那一度慘敗的，終將得勝
因為時代正在改變
　
Come senators, congressmen
Please heed the call
Don't stand in the doorway
Don't block up the hall
For he that gets hurt
Will be he who has stalled
There's a battle outside ragin'
It'll soon shake your windows
And rattle your walls
For the times they are a-changin'
來吧，參議員和國會代表，聽我說
請回應眾人的呼聲，從善如流
別擋在門廊，別占住大廳
停滯不前的，必將受傷
外面戰火正熾，怒燄高張
它很快就會震動你的窗，搖撼你的牆
因為時代正在改變
　
Come mothers and fathers
Throughout the land
And don't criticize
What you can't understand
Your sons and your daughters
Are beyond your command
Your old road is rapidly agin'
Please get out of the new one
If you can't lend your hand
For the times they are a-changin'
來吧，全國做父母的，聽我說
你們不懂的事情，不要妄加批判
你們的兒女，不會再乖乖聽話
你們那條老路，愈來愈不堪走
新路已開，請讓到一旁，若是不能伸出援手
因為時代正在改變
　
The line it is drawn
The curse it is cast
The slow one now
Will later be fast
As the present now
Will later be past
The order is rapidly fadin'
And the first one now
Will later be last
For the times they are a-changin'
戰線已畫，詛咒已下：
慢的終將變快
當道的終將過氣
那些老規矩，都已不合時宜
領先的終將落後
因為時代正在改變

[This week's focus on Stonehenge] The weather was great when I visited Stonehenge. Did you know that the stone circle comprised of roughly 80 massive upright stones placed in a circular and lintels layout?

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 《大醫王佛號濟衆生》
Salvation By The Name Of The Supreme Healer
(English version below)

今天，陽曆2015年11月11日，農曆九月三十日，是眾所熟悉的「南無藥師琉璃光王佛」的佛辰。所有學佛的弟子都曉得這尊如來。這尊佛和東方阿閦佛是一樣的，祇是名稱有別。這尊佛，大家都知道，就是「大醫王」。

祂的十二宏願中，有一願是願祂能以八萬四千種藥救治衆生的八萬四千種病。這八萬四千種病並不是我們有形所看到的病，當中還包括我們心裡面的病，精神上的病，比如說焦慮不安、嗔恨、憂鬱、煩躁、燥慮和心中的傷痛等等。這些都是病。

因此在這天，我們可以先沐浴，換上清淨的衣服。如果可以的話，再齋戒。所謂的齋戒可以說過午才食，或這一天完全地茹素。這茹素包括如果你在家煮素食，你要很慎重地確定你的鍋和器皿絕對沒有沾過葷的，這樣才好。

如果妳沒有供奉這尊如來，你可以將祂的法相卡捧在你手中，端正地坐在你客廳或書房的椅子上，然後恭恭敬敬地恭誦祂的洪名 ，「南無藥師琉璃光王佛」，21遍、49遍、108遍或 1080遍。 然後靜坐5分鐘，純想祂的聖容，之後就迴向給你欲想迴向的對象，你過往的祖先、過往的親人、友人、親戚，甚至你本身身體上有一些病痛，都可以迴向。

當然，絕對不是因為今天是「南無藥師琉璃光王佛」的佛辰，你今天才來唸。不是的，祇是每當佛菩薩的佛辰時，我們修法功德是百倍的，但這也要看你的誠心而論。

天地的根基在於一個誠字，因此我們華人有句話： 「精誠所至，金石為開」。吾祝賀大家能夠圓成你的願望，也祝大家佛緣增長，智慧增長，早日離苦得樂，阿彌陀佛。

Today, 11th November 2015, 30th Day of 9th Lunar month, is the holy birthday of Medicine Buddha, whom I am sure most of us are familiar with. All learning Buddhists would know this Buddha, also known as the Bhaiṣajyaguru Buddha. He is identical to the Aksobhya Buddha of the Eastern Paradise, and only known by a different name. The Medicine Buddha is also regarded as the Supreme Healer.

In the twelve noble vows He made, one of the vows was to heal all the 84,000 illnesses of the sentient beings, with 84,000 medicine. These 84,000 illnesses are not just diseases that we can see physically, but also those that affect us mentally and spiritually, like anxiety disorder, hatred, depression, over-worrying, impatience, bipolar disorder, grief, etc. These are all illnesses.

Therefore, on this day, we can take a bath and change into clean clothing. If possible, you can go on a vegetarian diet for the day, or opt to consume food only after noon. If you are preparing vegetarian meals at home, take care not to use any crockery and utensils that have been in contact with meat.

If you do not worship the Medicine Buddha at home, you can hold a pictorial card with the illustration of the Medicine Buddha, sit in an upright and proper posture in your living room or study room, and respectfully recite His Buddha Name, "Namo Yao Shi Liu Li Guang Wang Fo" (南無藥師琉璃光王佛), 21 times, 49 times, 108 times or 1080 times. After which, you can sit for 5 minutes in meditative silence and visualize the sagely appearance of the Medicine Buddha. At the end of your prayer, you may dedicate the merits to your ancestors, deceased family members, friends, relatives or even to your own health condition.

Of course, it is not only today, on the Birthday of the Medicine Buddha, which you recite his Name. It is just that on the holy birthdays of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the merits generated from cultivation will be hundredfold. But please remember all these depend on your level of faith and sincerity.

The foundation of Heaven and Earth lies in your faith. That is why we have a Chinese saying that goes "The utmost sincerity can crack open even metal and stone ".

I wish everyone fulfillment of your dreams, and may your affinity with the Buddha increase. May your wisdom grow by leaps and bound, and achieve liberation from your sufferings very soon. Amitabha.
