【油管教會我的三件事】(English writing below)
The 3 Lessons Youtube Taught Me
🎉 感謝三百位天才!🎉 😁
我的頻道,在2019年12月29日大約早上十點半,達到300位訂閱。
我在今年六月做了一個極端的決定, 就是我油管頻道要每星期更新。
極端因為我每天時間都已不夠用。
但我有一個壞習慣。
一旦決定要做的事情,我會如閃電俠般地衝刺,以推土機的力量把所有的障礙都剷平。
我慶幸自己在台灣找到一位可靠的剪輯師幫忙。
如果要一手包辦,要嘛我就頭髮全部發白或英年早逝,看哪個先到。
我的頻道在2019年三月達到一百位訂閱。當時,裡頭只有過去兩年隨性般地上傳的七支影片。
每星期更新影片,在六月的最後一個星期開始。從六月到十二月,因為工作繁忙,我只錯過一週的更新。
每週更新了25支影片後,我從油管學會了三件事:
一、舊的黃金依然是黃金
是真的,單憑一支「愛瘋」也可以成立一個油管頻道。
目前在我頻道的影片,是我在2016年到2017年做的臉書直播,用蘋果手機6和6S 的前置相機拍攝。
以前我每星期做直播,累積了很多影片,只是畫質就有點「另類」了。
我曾想過用一台好相機,在一個漂亮的場景,重拍那六十多場直播,讓影片看起來更專業。
可是⋯⋯想到頭髮花白之事⋯
我每星期上傳影片,漸漸地,在六個月的時間內,流量往上爬,新的觀眾也因為油管的推薦而看到我的影片。
我的油管影片都有超過一百的流量。
有一支解析金蟾的影片有過7800的觀看率,131個讚:
https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ
另一支提到手淫如何危害財運,有過6800的觀看率和45個讚:
https://youtu.be/lPH26j2XQGw
還有一支介紹報父母恩咒的影片,有過1800的觀看率和35個讚:
https://youtu.be/x-7GPmbq5nw
目前為止,沒有人向我投訴畫質不好。我想影片內容,夾麥的收音清晰和後製特效有幫助。
很多時候,這些直播是我見了客人或收到讀者來訊提問,靈感泉源湧現時而隨想隨拍的。所以你會看到我影片的背景往往都不一樣。
如果我重拍影片,是,我可能會說得更好,但應該很難模仿當時的那股激情。
一句話:時機對的時後,不要嘰嘰歪歪,往前衝就對了。
——————————
二、不完美也是完美的(有時)
我很執著完美。
當2019年的我看到年輕時的我在直播劈哩啪啦講一堆時,我會想⋯⋯咦,我怎麼那麼說呀⋯⋯天啊,我的臉怎麼那樣啊⋯⋯
那支金蟾的影片把我這大餅臉「完美」地呈現出來,也帶來最高的觀看率。過去一年,它也帶來很多來自新馬澳台和中國的詢問。
在我緊張著要開臉書直播談手淫時,我竟然忘了把夾麥插入手機,收音極差。我那時在星巴克,人來人往,攪拌機也正在「熱舞」。直播到一半,我緊張到忘了自己要說什麼。
我半點都不喜歡那影片,但心想,不管了,就放上去吧!那時是九月,頻道不到兩百訂閱,我心想反正沒什麼人看我影片。
結果,一位男士觀看後,因一片「熱愛」而把我影片放在男性論壇上。
二十四小時內,影片觀看率直破一千大關,也因此讓我的訂閱跨過兩百這門檻。
真的是不可思議,我竟然因為一支手淫危害財運的影片而在兩個男性論壇「爆紅」。兩個!
但我想我父母應該不會為我這「成就」而驕傲。😂
我也收到好些男性酸民因被我影片激怒而發來的留言。幸好,也有更多的男士以親身經歷而理智地支持我的說法。
在報父母恩咒的影片下方,有兩個留言給了我很大的動力:
「嗨,季謙小姐,請上傳更多影片。」
「感恩感激你循循善誘,教導我們如何通過佛法唸經、盡孝道,報答父母養育之恩。」
金玉良言:一切都是最美好的安排。
——————————
三、焦點不在我
觀眾選擇自己想看的內容。有時,「網紅」會因為高互動率按讚率等而自滿。
但對我而言,我上傳越多影片,越覺得這些不是在為我自己做。
除了定期更新,我並沒有什麼油管策略。
有時,我也想不出什麼搶眼的標題。我讓我的剪輯師覺得縮圖要怎麼做。我沒有什麼必勝的格式來呈現我的影片,更沒有什麼相似的頻道供我參考。
我把我的經驗和與客人的交流說出來。
這些影片都是我的迷你版,在網路上授課分享。
如果你覺得受用並訂閱我的頻道,幸運的不是我。
是你,因為你認出這知識能改善你的生活品質。
人生如一場亂流,我們的情緒,遇到的人事物往往會讓我們覺得不由自主,不在自己能控制的範圍內。
當你利用這新知識來駕駛你的人生時,我很確定2020年必定會帶給你和你的家更多的快樂和收穫。
謝謝你們,天才們,發現了我,又選擇與我同行。
你讓我想成為更優秀的自己來更好地幫助們。
我也期待對你而言,我也能同樣地啟發了你們。

🎉 Thank you to the 300 geniuses! 🎉 😁
I hit 300 subscribers on 29 December 2019, around 1030am.
One radical decision I made in June 2019 was to start weekly upload to my Youtube channel.
Radical because I was already running on a very tight time schedule every day.
But I have a bad habit.
Once my mind is set on something, I charge like the Flash, bulldozing all obstacles to make things work.
I am lucky that I found a reliable video editor in Taiwan.
If I do everything myself, my hair will turn full white or I will die young, whichever comes faster.
My channel hit 100 subscribers in March 2019, with 7 videos uploaded sporadically over a span of 2 years.
The weekly upload commenced on the last week of June. From June till now, I have only missed one week of upload due to heavy workload in December.
25 weekly videos later, these are the 3 lessons Youtube have taught me:
1) OLD CAN BE GOLD
It’s true. You can start a Youtube channel with merely an Iphone.
Currently, the videos on my channel are my FB Lives from 2016-2017, filmed with the front camera of Iphone6 and 6S.
I used to do weekly Lives back then and chalked up many videos. The resolution is funky.
I toyed with the idea of remaking all the 60 over videos, you know, with a really nice DSLR camera and in a pretty setting, so that it can look more professional.
But…the thought of my hair turning white…
So I uploaded the videos and gradually over 6 months, the views stacked up and new audience started finding me through Youtube recommendations.
All my Youtube videos has over 100 views.
One video on golden toads hit 7.8K views with 131 Likes:
https://youtu.be/dtcU9GG80wQ
Another video on how masturbation harms wealth luck has 6.8K views with 45 Likes:
https://youtu.be/lPH26j2XQGw
And this video on the mantra to repay parents has 1.8K views with 35 Likes:
https://youtu.be/x-7GPmbq5nw
No one has yet to complain of the wacky resolution. I think the content, my clear audio from a lavalier mic and the editing effects make up for it.
Most of the time, those Lives were done on the fly, after getting all fired up from a client consultation or receiving questions from my readers, so you see all these different backgrounds in my videos.
If I have to remake the videos, yes I may speak better, but I doubt I can mimic the same in-the-moment passion.
✅ When the time is right, stop fretting about the small stuff and just charge ahead.
_____________________________
2) IMPERFECTION IS PERFECT (sometimes)
I am anal about being as perfect as I can.
When the 2019 me watched the younger me blabbing away in the Lives, I will be like, eeee…why did I talk like that, yucks, why did my face look like that…
That golden toad video showcased my big pancake face in its full glory…and it grossed the highest views. It also brought me a ton of inquiries from Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Macau and China over the last one year.
In all my anxiety to talk about masturbation on a FB Livestream for the first time, I freaking broccoli forgot to plug in my lavalier mic. The audio was bad. I was at a Starbucks cafe. People were walking left right up down center. The blenders were on rock and roll. I forgot what I wanted to say halfway.
I didn’t like the video a single bit. But never mind, just upload. My channel had less than 200 subs at that time in September. Who cares to watch my video anyway…
Then some guy watched it and “liked” it so much that he embedded my video to a men’s forum.
Within 24 hours, the views rocketed to over 1000 and that was how I hit the 200 sub count.
Holy asparagus, I became “famous” for a video of me sprouting about Masturbation VS Wealth Luck. In TWO men’s forums.
I somehow doubt my parents will be proud of this "achievement" of mine though. 😂
There were hate comments from men who got very agitated with what I said in the video. #chillbro Thankfully, there were more rational men who supported my viewpoint with their personal experiences.
In the video on a Buddhist mantra, there were two comments that motivated me greatly:
“Hi Ms Ji Qian, please do upload more videos.”
“Thank you for your patient guidance to teach us how to be filial and repay our parents for raising us up, through the Dharma and sutra recitation.”
✅ Everything happens for a good reason. It is up to me to make it serve my interest.
_____________________________
3) IT’S NOT ABOUT ME
People choose the content they want to watch. Sometimes "influencers" get carried away when they see their engagement shoot up.
But for me, the more videos I upload, the more I feel I am not doing it for myself.
Apart from consistent uploads, I do not have any strategy for Youtube.
I sometimes struggle to think of eye-catching titles. I let my video editor decides how he wants to do the thumbnails. I have no winning format to present my videos. There is no other similar Youtube channel for me to refer to.
I just speak what I know from first-hand experience and client interactions.
All these videos are my different mini-me, teaching and sharing online.
If you find it useful and subscribe to my channel, it isn’t me that is lucky.
It is YOU. Because you recognise that this knowledge can improve the quality of your life.
Life is a turbulence of emotions and events and it can often feel that we are not in control.
When you are able to steer your life better with this new knowledge in hand, I'm very sure that 2020 will be happy and rewarding for you and your family.
Thank you, genius, for discovering me and staying with me.
You make me want to be a finer version of myself to help you better.
I hope I have the same impact on you too. ❤️
同時也有3部Youtube影片,追蹤數超過1,270的網紅Freeyon Chung 鍾君揚,也在其Youtube影片中提到,真的愛你 - Beyond 呢首歌應該係我細細個嘅時候差不多第一首接觸嘅流行曲 (嗰陣時聽兒歌比較多)。 仲記得嗰次係謝霆鋒喺電視唱比佢媽咪聽。今日係我媽咪生日嘅正日,但係自從返咗嚟香港,呢幾年都冇機會同佢一齊過生日同埋相處嘅時間亦都大大減少。之前喺Think Big天地嘅最後一日主持廠拍攝,唱咗...

【不要怪別人來逃避自己】(English writing below)
DO NOT BLAME OTHERS TO ESCAPE FROM YOURSELF
我們生命所面對的瓶頸和障礙,都是我們的陋習及缺點的成果。
不要這樣的成果,就必須正視自己的缺點。
不要急著推開別人善意的建議。我們都該感恩有人看到自己的盲點。
不要以為所有的人都在批評我們,因為就算好人也需要勇氣才能告訴我們如何進步。哪有人想要被別人討厭呢?
不要被講一下,就這裡痛那裡不舒服。幾歲的人了?被刺到,就當作在做針灸治療吧!刺多了,妳你的腦袋才會「沒有阻塞」、心量才能「廣大無邊」。
有時等了一輩子,就只遇到一個願意拉妳你一把的善知識。
妳你放天燈祈禱好運連連時,不就是希望天降神兵,助妳你一臂之力嗎?
奉著天旨的貴人既然來了,妳你又何苦避而不見。
還是,妳你始終執著於自己的「完美命運」呢?
有位說要報答我「大恩大德」的劉小姐,被問起閱讀我文章的觀後感,什麼都沒提,只大聲說了三遍:「很長!很長!很長!」
她說的也沒錯,也算是報了我給予她的恩。於是我最近開始寫些短文,盡我一份心意去照顧不同讀者的喜好。
幾天前,一位大衛先生私訊我,告訴我他的故事。在我未回覆時,他已說:「我看你幫不到我。」
大衛先生也在這臉書專頁,三月一日所發的視頻留言:「不知道你在說什麼。」
謝謝妳你告訴我。請給我點時間,我一定會努力再努力,發揮我最大的潛能去幫助更多更多的人。
.....................
All the bottlenecks and obstacles we faced in Life are the cumulative result of our bad habits and shortcomings.
If we do not wish for such a destiny, we need to face our weaknesses squarely in the eye.
Do not push away the constructive criticisms of others anxiously. We should be grateful that there are people who can see our blind spots.
Do not think everyone around us are all critiquing us. Because even a good-hearted person needs courage to tell us what we need to improve. There isn't any person that does not wish to be liked by others.
Do not feel hurt here or discomfort there, just because someone say something unpleasing about you. You are too old to feel like that forever. If your ego feels pricked, take it as acupuncture therapy. Prick a few more times, and there will be no more jams in your brain, and you get to develop a more open heart.
Sometimes, it takes a whole lifetime of waiting, before we get to meet one virtuous teacher who is willing to pull us up from the deep trenches.
When you release a sky lantern, wishing for an abundance of good fortune, aren't you praying to the Heaven for a celestial army of soldiers to help you along?
Now that the Benefactor with the Heavenly Decree is here, why are you avoiding to meet him/her?
Or have you chosen to remain obstinate about your "perfect destiny"?
A Ms Low, who wished to repay my great kindness, was once asked about her insights after reading my FB article. She did not mention anything else, except exclaiming thrice, "Very long! Very long! Very long!"
She was right, and her comment probably counted as repaying me. This is one reason why I had taken to writing shorter posts recently. I wish to do my part to take care of readers of different preferences.
A Mr David PM me a few days ago, telling me his story. Before I was able to reply, he messaged, "I don't think you can help me."
In this FB page, he left a comment under my 1st March video, "Don't know what you are talking about."
Thank you for telling me. Please give me some time. I will definitely work harder and harder, to unleash my greatest potential and help more people in need.

【我和師父的對話:談談新加坡】
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT SINGAPORE (English writing below)
「新加坡的國運,會越來越多問題。」
大約三年多前,師父跟我說了這句話,也正是李光耀先生過世了之後。
我問師父爲何如此說。
師父答:「從玄學的角度來說,一個國家能夠興旺,必定是因爲領導人或某個很重要人物的八字與這國家的八字匹配,互補彼此的運。有時候,也是因為有某個重要人物,他的存在能夠鎮住這個國家,讓一切不好的事情不會發生,一些想欺負新加坡的人會知難而退。
所以新加坡這個彈丸之地,什麼都沒有,才能做得起來,還做得比鄰國還出色。而當這人物不在了,又沒有另一個旗鼓相當的人取代,那邪氣就能入侵,這個國家便開始走歹運。」
「其二,我們新加坡為了繁榮,到處都在挖洞,嚴重影響了地氣,龍氣受傷了,而且屋子越建越差。妳跟我去看風水的公寓,它們的風水還比政府組屋的更糟糕。
現代人追求表面的美,在自己的家裡東敲西打,破壞了整個格局,所以妳自己從妳的客人那裡也知道,很多新加坡人外表很風光,在臉書上總是說去哪裡吃,哪裡玩,今天買了什麼,和家人一起做什麼。我告訴妳,很多是騙人的,沒有錢的,根本談不上home sweet home。
很多家庭欠債的,要離婚的,孩子不聽話不會讀書,父母得看小孩的臉色做人,家庭吵架、婚外情,家人重病、心理病的、精神病的、小孩子憂鬱症的,脾氣不好、生意失敗的,事業不振, 很多問題, 就是因為家裡外在內在的風水都不好。」
「第三,我們新加坡不應該有賭場的。這是造了很大的業,會毀了很多人和家庭。妳看,有一個女的打給我,以前是做警察的,結果一直去賭場,被警隊開除了。有賭的地方,就有鬼,必有邪氣。沾到這個邪氣的人,思維就會被這些鬼眾操控,他要你去賭場,你就會一直去,明明知道不好,不可以,卻還是去。這是為什麼滨海湾金沙開幕後,妳問我要不要去那裡用餐看看,我跟妳說那不是修行人去的地方。妳也不要去。」
我趕緊搖搖頭,擺擺手。
「沒有沒有,師父,我沒有要去。我曾經為了買一件衣服,去過一次,都沒進到賭場,我就跟騰慶說,我以後不要再去了。那裡的氣真的很不好,我一踏進去,頭就暈了,那外表很氣派,但裡頭就是很陰的感覺,祇是普通人看不出而已。」
「可是,師父,您曾經說過,我們新加坡的風水也主,暗地裡撈偏門幹犯法的勾當的其實很多,不輸給馬國。那有沒有賭場,為什麼會影響那麽大?」
「所以我說妳沒有把我教妳的東西好好學。撈偏門,畢竟是暗的,是偷偷摸摸進行的,是不見得光的。可是你把它合法化,白熱化了,這些邪氣的破壞力量就會壯大了。我們人,不能為了繁榮,要賺更多的錢,就不顧道德,這是會短率而失敗的。」
記得,大約五六年前,我先生載著師父經過福康寧。師父看著窗外的工地,好奇的問:「他們在挖什麼?」
「師父,政府要建地鐵,所以在挖地道。」
當時,師父嘆息:「挖太深了。這條龍這樣挖下去,我們新加坡會種族失和,國人反政府,國運衰落等等的問題。」
後來得知福康寧地鐵站因高難度的隧道挖掘,而得到年度國際隧道工程奖。可見,裡頭挖的多複雜,那受傷的龍氣,是否有高人指點去補全呢?要不然,依然是得不償失的。
那天走過盛港醫院,想到過去一年進出不同的醫院探病,心中有些許唏噓。
醫院越多,代表我們國人的病業越重。根本上師,聖尊蓮生活佛,曾講過醫院就是人間的地獄:
「在醫院裡,醫生開你的腦,挖你的眼,開腦、挖眼、開心,心、肝、脾、肺、腎,統統都要開刀。其實醫院就是地獄道。你說生病的人,哪一個不苦?生病的人都是在受苦,這些苦,雖然差地獄很遠,但是離地獄也不近。生病是很痛苦的,當你生病的時候,躺在醫院任人宰割。其實多開一家醫院,就像多開一個地獄。像開刀的醫生,手上拿著刀的,都是地獄裡面的獄卒。真的!醫院裡面就像地獄一樣,甚麼都可以動,像是將你的腳鋸掉,將你的手鋸掉,將你的眼睛挖出來的,將你的腦打開的,將你的腸子整個拖出來的,剪掉腸子的,甚至將你的胃割掉,我們稱這些為「邊地」,屬於不是正式的地獄,是邊上的地獄。
所以不要講沒有報應。人生病,因為業障重,所以進到醫院任人宰割,像呼吸困難,醫生就將你氣切,就是將你的喉嚨打開,接一個管子,吃東西就從管子進去,呼吸也用管子,全身都是插管,那都是屬於地獄道。」
(20141130聖尊蓮生活佛盧勝彥於甘露精舍瑜伽焰口法會後開示)
大醫院是大地獄,小醫院是小地獄。去過醫院的都知道,那裡沒什麼好磁場可言。我看很多新的醫院,裡面的風水也一樣讓人頭痛。因此無論是醫生醫錯人,醫死人,護士疏忽,沒有及時照顧病人,藥房開錯藥等等,這些問題都只會層出不窮。家裡有病人住院的朋友們,請打起十二分精神,要明白醫生開的藥方,要了解護士在做什麼。
環境風水不好,人的心會不正,運也會不順,身體和心靈健康的問題也會越來越多。
無奈有些國人受西方文化的薰陶久了,就盲目的覺得學華文不重要,也「順便」覺得風水是迷信。問他們研究了什麼,他們又咦咦啊啊的答不出。不要那麽急促,不要迷著不信。很多東西要深入研究,你就會明白,風水是比科學還科學,根本就不是迷信。
2019己亥年,對新加坡而言,是個很多內外衝突的一年,新加坡的國運會生病。
有的人會選擇把所有責任推給政府去擔當。我固然明白一切有其因,就必有其果。但國家有難,匹夫有責。
政府做不做得到也好,我們身為這國家的孩子,都應該去互相幫忙。批評,如果不能有實在的結果出來改善問題,那這種批評也不祇過是宣洩自心的不平不滿。大家都想多賺些錢,所以別忘了這句話「和氣生財」。
報答國恩,會有種恩德,能夠讓我們的纏身靈離開,可以化災化難。而引導自己的孩子報國恩,
有妥當的起因,就不會有悲哀的後果,而是有喜慶的結局。
因此大家都要製造良因,自然就會有良果。切勿造五惡:殺生、偷盜、犯淫、妄語、飲酒吸毒。你正當的行為,是有能力帶動你身邊的人,也當然能改善自己的家運。累積功德,就是為了需要時,能夠用這「儲備金」過關斬將。
今年拜太歲時,請為新加坡也點盞光明燈。祈禱時,也請為新加坡祈福,等等。
玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu 正月初八晚上,會舉辦一年一度的拜天公活動。他過去兩年都帶領著一些國人一起為自己的家庭和國家祈福。屆時,如果您有心想學習,請關注師父的臉書專頁。
在竹腳婦幼醫院時,聽到有位三十來歲的婦女說,她是來動手術,拿掉子宮的。我的心裡,頓時為她難過。
願大家都能有好德行、好風水、好運氣。
希望進醫院的人,都能夠平平安安的出院。
也希望去受軍訓的兒子們,都能平平安安回家。南無阿彌陀佛。

"There will be more and more problems, in Singapore's fortune outlook."
About three years ago, Shifu told me this. It was not long after Mr Lee Kuan Yew's death.
I asked Shifu why he said so.
Shifu replied, "From a Chinese Metaphysics point of view, when a country is prosperous, it is linked to the Bazi compatibility of the leader, and/or other important people. The Bazi can complement the Bazi of the country. Sometimes, because there is this important figure, whose presence can hold a country together and subjugate disasters from happening and people who wish to bully Singapore will back off."
"So it was possible for Singapore, such a small country of no natural resources, to build something up, and outperform its neighbouring countries. And when this person is no longer around, with no suitable replacement, then vile forces will pervade and the country will start to enter a cycle of poor luck."
"Secondly, in the name of more prosperity, Singapore is digging holes everywhere. This will severely damage the vitality force in the land, injuring the dragon qi. Moreover, the housing nowadays are poorly built, from a Feng Shui viewpoint. When you followed me on my Feng Shui audits at condos, you saw that their internal Feng Shui were even worse than HDB."
"People nowadays are only going for beauty. So they do not think twice when they hack the walls in their homes, destroying the whole structure. You see it in your clients too. Many Singaporeans only look good on the outside, posting about where they dine, where they go to have fun, what they bought, what they did with their families. Let me tell you this, many are lying. Many are having money problems. There is no home sweet home to speak of."
"Many families are in debt, facing divorce, have children who are disobedient and unwilling to study. Parents have to behave accordingly to the moods of their children. There are domestic quarrels and extramarital affairs. There are family members who are gravely ill, have psychological problems, mental issues and even kids have depression. Tempers are short, businesses do not perform well, careers are stagnant and many other problems, are caused by the poor external and internal Feng Shui."
"Thirdly, Singapore should not have casinos. This planted a seed of grave karma and will destroy many people and families. You see, there was a lady who called me. She used to work in the police, but she ended up visiting the casino too often and was fired by the police force. When there is gambling, there will be ghosts around, and vile energies will definitely be present. Anyone who gets stained by these energies will be mentally controlled by the ghosts. When the ghost wants you to visit the casino, you will surely go, despite knowing that it is not a good thing to do, nor is it advisable. This is why when you asked if I wished to dine at Marina Bay Sands during its opening, I told you that wasn't a place for spiritual cultivators to go. You shouldn't go."
I hastily shook my head and waved my hands.
"No, never, Shifu, I've no intention of going. I once went there to buy a piece of clothing. I didn't even stepped into the casino and I told Teng Qing, I wouldn't want to go there again. The energies there aren't great. My head spun as I stepped into the building. It looked impressive on the outside, but inside, the energies are very yin. Just that ordinary people aren't able to tell."
"But Shifu, you once said, the Feng Shui of Singapore also indicates that there are many illegal doings and businesses going on, comparable to that of Malaysia. So whether there are casinos or not, why will there be such an impact?"
"That's why I say, you never learnt properly what I taught you. Illegal activities are done secretly, in the dark and it can't be seen. But once you legalised it, as it surfaces to the top, the devastating effects of the vile energies will be even stronger. We humans cannot sacrifice morals for the sake of more prosperity and money. This will lead to failure due to shortsightedness."
I recalled, 5 to 6 years ago, the husband was ferrying Shifu in his car and drove past Fort Canning Hill. Shifu looked outside the window and curiously asked, "What are they digging?"
The husband replied, "Shifu, the government is building a MRT station, so they are digging the tunnel."
At that time, Shifu sighed, "They are digging too deep. When they keep digging into this dragon, we Singapore are going to have racial disharmony, anti-government problems and decline in the country's fortunes and many other problems."
Later on, I learnt that Fort Canning MRT Station won the Top Tunnelling Project of the Year at an international ceremony, because of the high difficulty level in the tunnelling feat. The excavation and tunnelling must be really deep and complicated. I wonder if there is any master that gave them pointers to repair the damaged dragon qi? Otherwise, the loss will outweigh the gain.
That day, when I walked past Sengkang General Hospital, I was reminded of my various hospital trips to visit family and friends, and couldn't helped but sighed.
The more hospitals there are, it means the sickness karma of our countrymen are getting more serious. My Root Guru, His Holiness Living Buddha Lian Sheng, once expounded that hospitals are hell in this mortal world:
"In hospitals, the doctors will open up your brain and dig your eyes. They open up your heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys. All these parts need to be operated. Actually, the hospital is the realm of Hell. Look at the people who are ill, who isn't suffering? A sick person is suffering. These sufferings, while very far away from that in the Hell, but aren't that far either. It is painful to be sick. When you are sick, you lie in the hospital and are at the whim of the doctor to be operated on. Actually when a hospital opens, it is like opening another Hell. The surgeon who holds the surgery knife in his hand is like the hell guard. Really!
The inside of the hospital is just like Hell. Everything can be operated on, like amputating your leg, amputate your hand, digging out your eyes, opening up your brain, dragging out the whole of your intestines, cutting away your intestines, and even cutting away your stomach. We called this borderland. Not the real Hell, but the borderland of Hell.
So don't say there isn't retribution. A person falls sick, because his karmic obstacles are severe. So he gets hospitalised and is up to the doctor to slaughter. For example, for breathing difficulties, the doctor will perform tracheotomy. He open up your throat and connect a tube. You will consume your food through the tube and also breathe through it. Your whole body is connected with tubes. That is the realm of Hell."
(20141130 His Holiness Living Buddha Lian Sheng Sheng-yen Lu Dharma discourse after Preta-dana at 甘露精舍)
A big hospital is a big Hell. A small hospital is a small Hell. Anyone who has been to hospitals knows that there isn't any great energies to speak about. I have visited several new hospitals and the Feng Shui inside is a headache. Hence cases of doctor misdiagnosis, mistreatment that cause death, negligence by nurses, lack of timely patient care, wrong medicine prescribed by pharmacies etc, will only continue to happen and at an increasing rate. So to friends who have hospitalised family, please be conscious and ask the right questions. Understand what the doctor prescribed and what the nurses are doing.
When the environmental Feng Shui is bad, man's heart will also go wayward and his luck will roll downhill. Problems in the physical body and heart will get more and more fanciful.
Unfortunately, some of us are over-influenced by the Western culture. They think that learning Chinese isn't important and conveniently dismissed Feng Shui as superstition. When I asked what research they had done to come to this conclusion, they usually stammer and can't answer me logically.
My advice: don't be impatient. Don't be eager to disbelieve. When your thinking is not supported by genuine in-depth research, you are superstitious. Many things in life are worth studying. When you learn this in-depth, you will realise that Feng Shui is more scientific than science, far away from what you think old wives' tale are made up of.
2019 the year of the Earth Pig is not a good year for Singapore. There will be many internal and external conflicts. Our country will fall sick, with its luck declining.
Some people chose to point their fingers at the government. I understand for every cause, there will be an effect. However, the rise and fall of our nation concerns all of us.
Whether the government does a good job or not, as the children of our country, we should all lend a helping hand to fellow countrymen. If criticism does not lead to a viable result to improve the problem, then it is just an expression of the displeasure inside the person.
To repay the debt of gratitude to our country generates merits for ourselves. These merits can drive away our karmic creditors and resolve the disasters and obstacles we face. We are also leading by example to our children what it means to repay the debt of gratitude to our country.
When the seed of causation is proper, there will be no fruits of sorrow, but instead, fruits of joy and celebrations.
So all of us should strive to create positive seeds of causation, and that will naturally reap us positive fruits. Don't commit the five evils of killing, stealing, sexual misconduct, lying and consumption of intoxicants like alcohol and drugs. Your proper conduct has the ability to help the people around you and of course, improve your family fortunes. Accumulating merits is critical, as these reserves will always come in handy to help us during our emergency times.
When you pray to the Tai Sui this year, please light a Lamp of Illumination for Singapore too. When you pray, please also pray for the good fortune of Singapore etc.
Every year on the night of the 8th day of the 1st Lunar Month, 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu will conduct a prayer ceremony to pay homage to the Supreme Jade Emperor. In the past two years, he had led other like-minded participants to pray for blessings for themselves and our nation. If you are keen to learn, do follow Shifu's FB page for notifications.
When I was at the KK hospital, I overheard a lady, probably in her 30s, that she was here for an operation to remove her entire womb. Momentarily, I felt sad for her.
I hope for everyone to have good moral conduct, great Feng Shui and good fortune.
May everyone who is hospitalised get to go home safely and healthily.
May all the sons of Singapore who go for army training, also return home safely and in one piece. Namo Amitabha.

真的愛你 - Beyond
呢首歌應該係我細細個嘅時候差不多第一首接觸嘅流行曲 (嗰陣時聽兒歌比較多)。 仲記得嗰次係謝霆鋒喺電視唱比佢媽咪聽。今日係我媽咪生日嘅正日,但係自從返咗嚟香港,呢幾年都冇機會同佢一齊過生日同埋相處嘅時間亦都大大減少。之前喺Think Big天地嘅最後一日主持廠拍攝,唱咗「單車」比爸爸聽,今日就送返首「真的愛你」比媽咪。Happy Birthday Mom!!! ???❤
Here is a happy and sweet song I want to sing for my mom's birthday! It's called "Truly Love You" ??❤?? Happy Birthday Mom!!! ?
There's too much negativity in this world... I hope I can spread a little bit of positivity, joy and love through this little video of mine. Even if you don't understand Cantonese, I hope I can still deliver that message to you through my performance ?
Yup, I recorded this at my bro Johnny’s studio again haha This time, I was in a bigger room ???
New video every other Wednesday!
隔個星期三有新video!

無法可修飾的一對手
帶出溫暖永遠在背後
縱使囉嗦始終關注
不懂珍惜太內疚
沉醉於音階她不讚賞
母親的愛卻永未退讓
決心衝開心中掙扎
親恩終可報答
春風化雨暖透我的心
一生眷顧無言地送贈
是你多麼溫馨的目光
教我堅毅望著前路
叮囑我跌倒不應放棄
沒法解釋怎可報盡親恩
愛意寬大是無限
請准我說聲真的愛你

報答english 在 玳瑚師父 Master Dai Hu Youtube 的最佳解答
(English version below)
妳你昨天已經開始唸了嗎?
吾指的,是南無本師釋迦摩尼佛傳下來的報父母恩咒。
顧名思義,這報父母恩咒能夠報答養育我們這一世的父母,但它不祇是報這一世而已,它的功德能夠讓我們七世父母獲得超生。
這報父母恩咒,玳瑚師父已唸了至少15年,直到昨天初一仍在唸。
我們的父母,我們的七世父母,我們的祖先,就會因爲這個報父母恩咒,獲得業障消除,智慧增長,而一層一層,一世一世的,一個境界一個境界的,上上上上上,到達脫出了三惡道,又或者是六道,慢慢的,慢慢的就會到達更好的境界。
報父母恩,是爲人子女,一定要的,因爲這個是一種本,我們做人本來就不應該忘本。沒有父母的精跟卵,就不能夠形成我們這個軀殼出來。沒有這個軀殼出來,我們的靈識依然漂浮不定,不能夠修行,不能夠所謂的升格,而依然在一種陰暗的境界裡面,大鬼欺小鬼等等等,受業力的果報,不能夠離苦得樂。
所以父母的恩,是給了我們這個軀殼能夠修行,是很大的恩。因此有一句話說,父母恩如大海,師恩如宇宙。
如果不能夠報父母恩的人,這個人他本來的人格就已經是失敗的。那自己有家庭後,生出來的孩子,因爲因緣的關係,也是一個不孝的孩子。大家要三思,修出智慧來,你就自然而然,能夠對以往的種種事情,豁然地能夠知道很多很多的道理。你就能夠明白,就能夠出苦得樂。
祝大家精勤的,每一年農曆七月初一到卅(或廿九),每天唸49遍的報父母恩咒,迴向給你們現世和七世父母,大家一同往生快樂的佛國淨土,永遠離苦得樂。
如果有一天因爲工作繁忙,加班或生病,那一天忘了或不能夠持,隔天可以提早起來,再補上昨天的那49遍,也就是說隔天必需得唸兩次49遍,記得不可以中斷,這樣就會功德圓滿。

Have you started your recitation yesterday?
I am referring to the Mantra of Repaying Parents' Kindness, as imparted by Shakyamuni Buddha.
As the name indicated, this mantra can repay our gratitude to our parents of this lifetime. But it does not stop at there. Its merits are great enough to bless our parents from our past 7 lives, with a rebirth to the Pureland.
Master Dai Hu has been reciting this mantra for at least 15 years, and still did it yesterday on the first day of the 7th Lunar Month.
With the merits from this mantra, our parents of this and past 7 lives, and our ancestors, can have their negative karma eradicated and gain an increase in their wisdom. One level by one level, one lifetime by one lifetime, one realm by one realm, it will upwards all the way, till they can break away from the Three Evil Realms, or the six realms of reincarnation. Gradually, they will gain rebirth in a better world.
It is the duty of all children to repay the debt of gratitude to their parents. They are the roots of our origin. As human beings, we must not forget where we came from. Without the egg and sperm from our parents, we will have no physical shell. Without this physical body, our consciousness will be drifting. We will be unable to cultivate to the next higher level, resigned to wandering in a gloomy and dark realm, where there is ghost bullying and going where karma takes us.
We will not be able to break away from suffering and attain bliss. Therefore, our parents have shown much kindness in giving us this physical body for us to cultivate. It is a great debt of gratitude. Hence, the saying: The kindness of our parents is as wide as the ocean, while the kindness of our teachers is as vast as the universe.
When a person does not repay his parents' kindness, he would have failed in upholding his status as a human. Under such conditions, when he has children, they would also be unfilial.
Please think over this wisely, everybody. You must cultivate your wisdom. By then, you would naturally understand the many truth in all that have happened to you before, and be able to attain eternal bliss, leaving the cycle of sufferings.
I wish diligence upon every one of you. Please recite this mantra 49 times daily, from Day 1 to Day 30 every 7th Lunar month. Dedicate the merits to your parents from this and past 7 lives. May they together be reborn in the Pureland of happiness, and attain eternal bliss with no suffering.
If you miss out one day of recitation, due to work, forgetfulness or illness, you can wake up earlier the next day to recite that 49 times. In other words, you would have to do 2 sets of 49 times that day. Don't stop the cycle, so that your merits for your parents will be complete.
