四兽精华- 风水

1左青龙；代表；阳，男人，健康，贵人，主人，要安静，要高，赚钱能力等。。
2；后玄武；意思代表；和青龙差不多一样；阳，男人，贵人，健康，要高，要静等。。。。。
3右白虎；代表；阴，女人，客人，霸气，作为，要低，要动等。。。
4；前朱雀；代表；阴，女人，想法，财源，要动等。。。。。

重点分析；
1；客厅，以最长那沙发为主断事。。。。
2；睡房；以睡床断事为主。。。
3；神明厅；以神桌断事为主。。。。。
4；厨房；以灶断事为主。。。。

只要这些家宅里的家具摆不对，配合不到四兽方位，。就可一眼断出发生的事情好坏。。。当然还要在配合在外大环境四兽方位，。。在外就可断出风水好坏事情。。。

什么叫作藏风聚气，也可说阴阳相吸，才会藏风聚气。。阴阳要平衡。。。还有在公开一眼断风水术，进入家宅，看见大厅没阳光进入，阴阴沉沉。。你就可断这家里人，阴沉，心闷，懒散。。病猫子等。。要改变就要多开灯，把大厅照亮。。。但也不可以到处加灯，太亮过头，家里人，会在家待不久，一直想往外走，。

断事教程开始；
1；现在大家走去你家外面，。。最好离一段远距离。。。。从家内往外看，左边是青龙，右边是白虎。。。观察你家【左边】和【右边】，【家前面】和【后面】，是什么东西，比如空地，比你家高的屋子或高楼。，马路等。。。。。。

大家记得我之前的四兽分析吗。。。
如，你家左边青龙方位要静。，如坏分析；不可是马路，有人走动的空地，低斜坡等，。这样会影响贵人无力，。赚钱不稳等。健康不好，如糖尿病，阳痿。。。。
左边最好是；有高楼，有屋子等。。。再来看家外右手边。。坏分析；不可有高过你屋子的楼或屋，等，这右边白虎位，最好是动。。如是马路但不可是刀形马路或剪刀形的。。，有人走动最好。。如是静位。。会影响女人?弱。。财源不稳，犯小人等。。。。

只要大家明白左青龙，右白虎的意思，。你就可断出，这间家，是男人做主，还是女人做主权力了。。。
如，。家里左手边是厨房，或放杂物房。。右手白虎边是很阔的大厅，门又开在右边。。。你一眼就可断出，这家是女主人做主，。。男人软弱，赚钱不稳。。。女人霸气，强硬，。。两夫妻长吵架等。。所以，解决方法；如果你要男人比女人强，那就要加强左青龙方位了。。。这招验证了朋友多间家，蛮灵验的，。。只要加强青龙位。夫妻感情会越来越好。。。别小看青龙位，。信不信由你，反正免费的。。验证后才公开。。。。常给女人欺负的男人可多增强青龙位就可。男人别怕，呵呵，如在办公室工作的朋友，可在你座位左边不要给人走动，可在左方放一条青龙或木做的物品等，可增加贵人提拔等。。。

四兽精华分析；总之。。你家外面，左青龙和后玄武方位要安静，不要动，如人走动，马路等，是坏。。。。你家右白虎方位和前方位，要动，如马路，低，有多人来往是好等，当然还要配合是什么东西，。。。可给要选地方买新家的朋友参考。。你也可验证，不符合4兽方位的住家，。所发生不好的事。。。只要你在外大环境找新家，。你先要看新家后面最好有比你家高的屋楼，或山都可，。。左边也一样。。。。前方和右方最好是空地有人走动等，如是环包马路更好。。最后你家要方正。不要缺角。。这样就不会太差。。。先平安，。。之后才调怎家内部。。。因气是从外部进入，所以先看在外大环境。比较重要。

Resignation Part 1

I have spent more than 6 yrs with M company , since May 2005 ..

Many important moments happened during the service period.

Bought the first house , father went for heart bypass surgery, get married, mom went for leg surgery ,grandma passed away, bought 2nd property , having my first new car and the arrival of new life in family - my dear baobei son ... and many more.

Frankly speaking , M benefit and compensation is consider good .I like the flexi working hour very much . I have gained trust from boss. But stil I felt that I am in bottleneck dilemma and it is a need for me to change environment and seek for better opportunity.

When I joined the current team , it is a big responsibility for me to keep PG team reputation as many have left the team before this for the role. I managed to stay with the team for years . I actually really hope that with the team grow , i will have change to lead it. But what happened in 2010 really disappointed me. The management parachuted someone with higher grade into the team , not only that , i was asked to slowly pass down the design task that I been doing since development stage to him , and only deal with the sustaining task. That really pissed me of.

I can't imagine that happen to me , at least pls discuss with me before and not just announce it in the meeting. Although he is not long with the team ( yaa.. left after attending the training that I always dream on, fxxx ), but there is already a torn in my heart.

Not long after that , they hired a fresh grad into the team , again without me in the discussion prior this ( hahaha maybe I am too naive to think i am that important ) . Well , again , the excited job scope being assigned to her instead of normal process- new hire to do sustaining job. With first incident , I have lost interest to fight for my right anymore. So ,I dont bother with the arrangement .Just do my own work and whatever being assigned . Not less , Not More. The new hire just with us for 4 mths ,and everything back to square again. Me as lone ranger in the team.

I continue my work as normal , or shud i say with less passion . yeah .. as I am now putting more attention to my son. ( what an excuse .. hahaha )

Anyway , oppurtinity knock the door ..

to be continued....

睡五分钟等于睡六个小时的方法（熬夜者必学）

睡眠與養生 　　 一、睡眠的規則 　　 戰國時名醫文摯對齊威王說："我的養生之道把睡眠放在頭等位置，人和動物只有睡眠才生長，睡眠幫助脾胃消化食物，所以，所以睡眠是養生的第一大補，人一個晚上不睡覺，其損失一百天也難以恢復。" 　　晚21點到凌晨5點為有效睡眠時間。 人是動物，和植物同屬於生物，白天(凌晨5點到晚上21點)活動產生能量，晚上(21點到凌晨5點)開始進行細胞分裂，把能量轉化為新生的細胞，是人體細胞休養生息、推陳出新的時間，也是人隨著地球旋轉到背向太陽的一面。陰主靜，是人睡眠的良辰，此時休息，才會有良好的身體和精神狀態。這和睡覺多的嬰兒長得胖、長得快，而愛鬧覺的孩子發育不良是一樣的道理。 　　 睡覺是養生的一大功能，養就是用大量的健康細胞去取代腐敗的細胞，如一夜睡不著就換不了新細胞。如果說白天消亡一百萬個細胞，一晚上只補回來五十萬個細胞，這時你的身體就會出現虧空，時間長了，人就糠了，像糠蘿蔔似的。為什麼世上有百歲老人呢?因為他們每晚都在21點鐘准時睡覺。 　　 植物吸收陽光的能量，夜裡生長，所以夜晚在農村的莊稼地裡可聽到拔節的聲音。人類和植物同屬於生物，細胞分裂的時間段大致相同，錯過夜裡睡覺的良辰，細胞的新生遠趕不上消亡，人就會過早的衰老或患病，人要順其自然，就應跟著太陽走，即天醒我醒，天睡我睡。人在太陽面前小如微塵，"與太陽對著干"是愚蠢的選擇，遲早會被太陽巨大的引力催垮。這是客觀真理。 　　 現實生活中，不少人有入睡難，睡眠質量不高的毛病。睡眠不好是一個綜合性的問題，如肝火過盛，睡覺警覺;胃火過剩，睡覺不安;肝陰不足，睡覺勞累。 二、睡眠與疾病 　　 現代的生活習慣和生活方式給人們的身體帶來了很多負面影響形成"四大病"：水果病、冰箱病、電視電腦病、熬夜病。肝髒有一特點：臥則回血，坐立向外供血。 　　 子時(23：00—1：00)，其實23點就是新的一天的開始，並不是0點開始的，這是我們犯的誤識。肝膽相表裡，互為一家，23點膽經開了，如若不睡，大傷膽氣，由於十一髒腑皆取決於膽也，膽氣一虛，全身髒腑功能下降，代謝力、免疫力紛紛下降，人體機能大大降低，膽氣支持中樞神經，膽氣受傷易患各種精神疾病，比如抑郁症、精神分裂症、強迫症、躁動症等。 子時膽要更換膽汁，膽經漸旺人如不臥，膽汁更替不利，過濃而結晶成石，久之即得膽結石，如果把膽給摘了，一摘就膽怯了，全身的免疫力下降了50%以上，所以不能摘，要用它本系統的巨大潛能把它化掉。 　　醜時肝經最旺，醜時(1：00—3：00)不眠，肝無法解除掉有毒之物，產生新鮮血液，因藏血不利，面呈青色，久之易患各類肝病，現在有些人肝不太好，特別在歐洲平均4個人就有一個大三陽或是小三陽，大都是因為違反自然規律過了子時不睡覺造成的。 甲肝比較好治，乙肝就很難治。乙肝病毒攜帶者，是由於晚上經常不睡覺，人太虛弱了，也就是說秩序太亂了，病毒已經到了細胞裡了。也就是說乙肝的病毒已經到了細胞裡面，但是現在它還沒有能力造成肝炎，當人身體處於最薄弱的時候就形成成肝炎，乙型肝炎就意味著將來40%——60%的肝硬化。聰明的人是應該了解天、地、人之間的關系，不聰明的人就是應該被淘汰的人。 　　 垃圾睡眠給肝髒帶來多大傷害？ 　　 肝主疏泄，過子時不睡，可引起肝疏泄不利，肝氣郁結，可見易怒，頭痛頭暈，眼紅，眼痛，耳鳴，耳聾，胸肋脹痛，女性月經不調，便秘，也可引起肝氣升發不足，人會目倦神疲，腰膝酸軟，暈眩，失眠，驚悸，精神恍惚，重則會暈倒在大街上，不省人事。 　　 肝有藏血、調節血液的功能，過子時不睡，會造成肝血不足，還會引起吐血、流鼻血、皮下出血、牙齦出血、眼底出血、耳出血等出血證狀。 　　 肝開竅於目，過子時不睡，易引起肝虛，則出現視力模糊、老花、夜盲、畏光、迎風流淚，等症狀，還會形成青光眼、白內障、眼底動脈硬化、視網膜病變等眼疾。 　　 肝主筋，其華在爪，過子時不睡覺，會引起肝血不足，就出現筋痛，麻木，屈伸困難，痙攣抽搐，易造成灰指甲，缺鈣，髕骨軟化，癲癇病，骨質疏松等症。 肝與心，過子時不睡覺，可引起肝血不足，由於心主一身之血脈，肝有儲藏和調節血液的功能，會造成心髒供血不足，引起心慌、心顫等症狀，嚴重的形成心髒病、高血壓等心腦血管疾病。 　　 肝與脾，過子時不睡覺，會引起肝胃不和，由於肝助脾胃消化，由於肝氣太虛不能助脾胃消化，使人脾胃消化功能不好，表現為舌苔厚，長期以來會造成中氣塌陷。 　　 肝與肺，過子時不睡覺，無法滋陰潛陽，肝陰虧損，引起肝火過盛灼肺，出現干咳、或咳嗽、咳痰血等木火刑金的證狀，易導致牛皮癬等各種皮膚病。 　　 肝與腎，過子時不睡覺，肝虛導致腎虧，由於肝腎同源，容易造成生殖系統疾病、不育、骨病、牙病、脫發、糖尿病、腎衰竭等疾病。

地藏菩萨灭定业真言

南无地藏王菩萨灭定业真言：‘嗡钵罗末邻陀宁娑婆诃’

Om Pra Mani Dhani Svaha

　此咒实为藏经中《陀罗尼集经》所载之地藏菩萨法身印咒，因其梵文有摧伏、散灭、粉碎一切罪业、罪障、恶业之决，故华文自古称此咒为灭定业真言，此虽为地藏菩萨法身印咒之变称，然此称不失地藏菩萨本意。宋蒙山甘露法师不动集，蒙山施食仪中，也有详细记载。

　　真言的原文：

　　唵，钵啰末邻陀宁，娑婆诃。

　　地藏菩萨灭定业真言注音：

　　ōng，bō là mò lín tuó níng，suō pó hē。

　　发音注解：

　　唵：读“ōng”，汉地部分地区读“ǎn（俺）”，汉字没有此音，一般都用近似音“wēng（嗡）”来注音。

　　啰：读音（là辣），与喇通假，古读（là辣）。也有的地区读本音（luō）。

　　宁，有本作“[宁+页]”，发音“nǐng（拧）”。[宁+页]：一般的字词（辞）典中无此字。《康熙字典》、《中华大字典》反切主音是：乃挺切，音宁，上声。新出版的《汉语大字典》也注音为“nǐng（拧）”

　　娑婆诃，有本亦作“梭哈”，译音不同故，两者皆可。

　　功德简介：

　　这是灭定业的咒。此咒是地藏王菩萨所说，诚心诵读此咒可以消灭一定要报应的罪业。在《地藏菩萨本愿经》诵读本的经首或经后，一般都注有此真言。“地藏灭定业真言”，在中国千年来受持者众多，得到感应而消去业障或恶业，因而逢凶化吉者不可计数。且您不一定要与地藏王菩萨有缘，也可受持灭定业真言，对于居家生活，平安健康及明心见性都有帮助，正所谓真言者，诸佛之秘密总持是也。如果专心一致的持“地藏灭定业真言”就可以接通地藏菩萨的电波，接受他大愿力的能量，让他帮你除去黑暗的业力，沉重的习气，转危为安，据古书记载有人因此助父生天、驱魔除患、大疫无忧、延年毕愿、转夭为寿、免盗贼厄、重病除愈、劝发菩提 …… 今人的感应更是不胜枚举。恭请常诵此真言及“南无大愿地藏王菩萨”圣号

药师佛心咒

Pronounce as : Tehyanta Om Bekanze Bekanze Maha Bekanze Ratha Samudgateh Soha

It is like this
Medicine Buddha, you are the King, the Supreme healer.
Please remove illness, illness and the great illness.
Now I offer this prayer.

Explanation of the meaning of the Mantra

TAYATA / OM BEKANDZE BEKANDZE / MAHA BEKANDZE RADZA / SAMUDGATE SOHA

Bekandze means eliminating pain, maha bekandze means great eliminating of pain. One explanation of the meaning of the first bekandze is that it refers to eliminating the pain of true suffering, not just of disease but of all problems. It eliminates the pain of death and rebirth that are caused by karma and disturbing thoughts. The first bekandze eliminates all the problems of body and mind, including old age and sickness.

The second bekandze eliminates all the true cause of suffering, which is not external but within the mind. This refers to karma and disturbing thoughts. It is the inner cause that enables external factors such as food and exposure to sunlight to become conditions for disease.

Scientists claim that intense exposure to the sun causes skin cancer. However, without the cause in the mind, there is nothing to make external factors become conditions for disease. Exposure to sunlight is a condition for skin cancer, but it is not the main cause. For those who have created the cause to get skin cancer, the external phenomenon of sunlight can become a condition for skin cancer.

For example, not everyone who sunbathes on the beach gets skin cancer. Also human beings have been exposing themselves to the sun for many thousands of years, but skin cancer is a comparatively recent phenomenon. The important question is: Why doesn’t everyone who is exposed to the sun get skin cancer? The proof that sunlight is not the main cause of skin cancer is that not everyone who is exposed to the sun gets skin cancer.

If someone has created the cause, as long as they do not do anything to purify it, the cause will definitely bring its own result; just as a seed that is planted will definitely result in a sprout as long as it is not eaten by birds, and so forth. Once there is a cause, as long as there is no obstacle to the cause, it is natural to experience its result.

So, the second bekandze refers to eliminating the cause of problems, karma motivated by disturbing thoughts.

The third phrase, maha bekandze, or “great eliminating,” refers to eliminating even the subtle imprints left on the consciousness by disturbing thoughts.

The Medicine Buddha mantra actually contains the remedy of the whole graduated path to enlightenment. The first bekandze contains the graduated path of the lower capable being in general; the second bekandze, the graduated path of the middle capable being in general; and maha bekandze, the graduated path of the higher capable being. The whole graduated path from the beginning up to the peerless happiness of full enlightenment is contained in the Medicine Buddha Mantra.

Reciting the mantra leaves imprints on our mind, so that we are also able to actualize the path contained in the mantra. It establishes the blessing of the whole path within our heart; we can then generate the whole graduated path to enlightenment, which is signified by bekandze bekandze maha bekandze.

The OM is composed of three sounds, ah, o, and ma, which signify the Medicine Buddha’s completely pure holy body, holy speech, and holy mind. Actualizing the whole path to enlightenment purifies our impure body, speech, and mind and transforms them into the Medicine Buddha’s pure holy body, holy speech, and holy mind. We then become a perfect guide for living beings.

With our omniscient mind we are able to effortlessly, directly, see, without mistake, the level of mind of every living being and all the methods that fit them in order to bring them from happiness to happiness, to the peerless happiness of full enlightenment.

We also have the perfect power to manifest in various forms to suit every living being and reveal the necessary methods to guide them, such as giving material help, education, or Dharma teachings. Whenever the positive imprint left by their past positive actions ripens, without delay of even a second, we can reveal various means to guide the living being to enlightenment.

易经五行取名适用字

以易经国姓名学命名，字带阴阳，号显五行，名号与自身内在信息结合亦会带来不少奇妙作用。“姓名学”是一种含有数理学、阴阳、五行学概念的命理学，是由中国古老哲学《易经》所发展出来的学问。而且姓名学是一种很方便的命理工具，因为只需要利用“姓”与“名”，就能研究一个人的命运、个性、与人之间的相处关系。

　　老虎，又称大虫，在山林中因霸气称王，生活范围很广，随时确保自己的地盘，是肉食性动物，常常独来独往，在山林中耀武扬威，在平地却完全没有发挥才能的余地。寅，有摈斥之意，属于十二地支的第三位，方位是东北东方，如以一天的时间来看，是清晨三点至五点之间，正是黎明的前奏，若以四季来分，则是正月，正是草木孕育新芽的时期，表现出欣欣向荣即将来临的气象，而“虎”正代表“寅”的特性。

　　1、起名宜用带“山”、“木”、“林”的字。虎是山里的动物，所以属虎的宝宝名字中适合带“山”、“木”、“林”的字，表示老虎在山里适得其所，更能够发挥潜能。

　　适合在虎年出生的姓氏：马、冯、许、丁、成、武、盛、狄、游、潘、萧、康、沉、郑、翁、姚、梁、郭、李、孟、洪、汪、江

　　不适合在虎年出生的姓氏：袁、侯、申、张、连、毛、徐、倪、佟、章、杨、熊、石、田、谷、黄、苗、顾、庞、龙、龚、农、钮、金

　　2、三合：寅午戌三合(虎、马、狗)

　　午字根：(午、马)许、杵、骏、骐、腾午：午、许、仵、杵、等有(午)字形。马：马、腾、骐、骏、骍、等有(马)字部首。

　　火：炳、煜、焬、炮、照、烈、然、燃、等有(火)字部首。

　　戌字根：(戌、犬)成、威、然、猛狗：狄、狮、狼、等有(狗)字部首。

　　3、《三会》寅卯辰三会(虎、兔、龙)

　　卯字根：(卯、兔)柳、勉卯：柳、卯、印、等有(卯)字部首。

　　兔：勉、兔、等有(兔)字部首。

　　4、《正冲》、寅申冲(虎与猴正冲)

　　申：珅、坤、伸、绅、等有(申)字形。

　　袁：猿、园、侯、远、等有(袁)字形。

　　示：祈、祝、佑、祺、等有(示)字形。

　　巳：选、祀、等有(巳)字形。

　　虫：蝗、蝶、蜻、蜂、等有(虫)字形。

　　连：莲、迪、连、逋、等有(连)字形。

2010属虎之人命名忌用字

古人说：“赐子千金，不如教子一艺;教子一艺，不如赐子好名。”确实是这样。中国人历来讲究取名。中国人重视名字并非无缘无故。在中国人的心目中，名字在人的一生中具有重要意义，并非只是一个没有实际意义的符号。所以给虎宝宝取名的时候，按照五行禁忌就最好避免这些字，就算自己很喜欢。

　　1、避免有“人”或“彳”的字根，因为老虎不喜欢被人控制，也会被人所伤。如：人、介、今、仙、仲、任、伊、伯、余、佩、佰、来、保、俊、信、侠、俞、倍、倪、伦、倩、修、健、伟、杰、傅、侨、俭、侬、仪、亿、德。

　　2、避免有“申”、“袁” (猴)的字根，或谐音，因为“寅”与“申”相冲。诸如：申、绅、坤、砷、袁、侯、远、媛。

　　3、避免有“门”之字根，老虎被关在家里，有不易展其威之感。如：闪、间、闲、闽、闰、阅。

　　4、避免有“蛇”的字根，如“辶”、“一”、“丨”、“邑”、“虫”、“廴”。因为“寅”与“巳”相刑害，“蛇遇猛虎似刀戳”。如：巡、迅、造、速、进、远、迁、选、还、邦、那、邱、刑、邰、郎、郑、廷、建、川、仁、虹、蜜、蝶、融、萤、尤、尼、屯。

　　5、避免有“小”的字根，老虎宜大，才有威风，称“小”就变为病猫。如：小、少、尖、亚、士、臣。

　　6、避有“辰”、“龙”、“贝”的字根，因为犯“龙虎斗”的忌。如：辰、晨、龙、贝、贞、财、贡、贵、贺、贾、资、宝、赋、贤、赐、赞、项、顺、须、颂、顾。

2010虎宝宝不同月不同名

　　踏入2010年2月4日早上六时四十二分，便是庚寅年，亦即我们大家所称的虎年。由于西历2010年2月14日才是正月初一，很多人以为要到此日才转生肖，但其实从2月4日开始，即是虎年啦!

　　传统的玄学一向与二十四节气息息相关，而“立春”是二十四节气之首，所以长久以来“立春”在术数界中被视为新年的开始，各方面的吉凶亦会随之转移，新生婴孩的所属生肖也是从“立春”日起才与往年不同。若不弄清这点，2010年2月4日早上六时四十二分至2月13日出生的婴孩很容易被错认为其生肖属牛，这对将来人生路上的趋吉避凶很是不利!

　　下面就为大家介绍一下虎宝宝如何取名吧，宜用哪些五行属性的字。

　　生于一月(西历2010年2月4日AM06：42至2010年3月6日AM00：40)

　　名字宜用木、火之字。如彦、琳、彤等字。

　　生于二月(西历2010年3月6日AM00：40至2010年4月5日AM05：38)

　　名字五行之字皆可用，以金、水之字为佳。

　　生于三月(西历2010年4月5日AM05：38至2010年5月5日PM11：05)

　　名字五行之字皆可用，以金、水之字为佳。

报父母恩咒

南无密栗多，哆婆曳，莎诃。

　　报父母恩咒注音：

　　nā mó mì lì duō，duō pó yì，suō hē。

　　发音注解：

　　南无：录音带多读为（nā那）（mó摩），《大悲咒句解》、《密宗秘法·特音》皆读（nā那）（mō摸）。无：梵音读（mó摩），见《康熙字典》、《中华大字典》。细考古、今字词典皆读此音。另外，还有全读去声的。今人多读成南（ná拿）无（mó摩）。另海涛法师著《慈悲的咒语》中注音为南（nán难）无（mó摩）。

　　曳：此处应读古音（yì义）。不读今音（yè夜）。

　　莎诃：有本亦作“娑诃”，两者皆可。

　　功德简介：

　　多生累劫之父母恩重难报，却无以为报，则有佛教报父母恩咒，每逢农历七月中每日念诵报恩咒四十九遍，可报父母恩，现存父母延寿，去世父母超拔，如一日未诵，次日可补诵。（尽孝之心又何止拘泥于七月啊！）

　　　　世尊礼骨。阿难问因。佛说过去父母身。功恩大无伦。垂教后人。众生可问津。南无报恩德菩萨摩诃萨摩般若波罗蜜。

　　善之极莫大于孝，恶之极不孝也。（忍辱经）

　　依慈父悲母长养之恩，一切男女皆安乐也。慈父之恩，高如山王；悲母之恩，深似大海。（心地观经）

　　假令有人，一肩荷父，一肩担母，尽事寿量而不暂舍，供给衣食医药，种种所需，犹未能报父母之深恩。（本事经）

　

　　父母十大恩情：

第一恩、怀胎守护恩；第二恩、临产受苦恩；
第三恩、生子忘忧恩；第四恩、咽苦吐甘恩；
第五恩、回干就湿恩；第六恩、哺乳养育恩；
第七恩、洗濯不净恩；第八恩、远行忆念恩；

诵咒回向文

愿此报恩经功德，普及父母於一切，
四生六道与含灵，皆共同登圣觉岸。

佛教如何胎教

　
　　佛教非常重视胎教，大藏经中有关胎教的，至少有三部：《菩萨处胎经》；《大宝积经·佛说入胎藏会》；《大宝积经·佛为阿难说处胎会》。

　　孕妇怀胎的时候，要作如此想：这是菩萨来入胎，怀的是一尊小菩萨。心的念头是非常重要的。怀孕时，心中常念观音菩萨，多看观音菩萨像，经常观想菩萨慈祥的面容，对胎儿很有用；我们要经常保持心平气和，想要生气的时候，就赶快念观音菩萨。怀胎时，不可以暴饮暴食、生活不正常。我们的一言一行、一举一动，表情及心理现象，都会对胎儿产生直接的影响，因此，要心理、言语、行为皆善。丈夫们可能认为胎教仅是母亲妊娠中的事，跟做父亲的没有关系，其实你的身心状态会影响到你的太太，也就会影响到腹中的胎儿。所以良好的胎教是夫妻双方共同的责任。

　　念佛、念菩萨、念《大悲咒》、念经、听佛乐等，都是很好的胎教。（出自《居士学佛100问》）

　　问：孕妇能不能去寺院礼佛尊？（王晶龄）

　　答：到佛寺拜佛无妨，然杂神之庙，塑有狞恶神像者，不可能去，更不可观看也！（李炳南老居士《佛学问答类编》）

　　问：孕妇是否能够做早晚课？假如不能，那不是要间断？（王晶龄）

　　答：可作二课，不宜间断。怀孕而能念佛斋戒，遗传胎教所关，生子定能贤良。（出处同上）

咖喱饭喷香 日日见人龙

地点：槟岛大路后霹雳园组屋旁
时间：早上7时至11时（周日休息）
价格：小RM2.20、中RM2.50、大RM3.00，加料另计

“咖喱”源自印度故乡，淡米尔语咖喱，就是把香料调配在一起煮成的酱汁之意思。

其实，咖喱的种类很多，有红、青、黄、白之别；咖喱受欢迎的国家很多，从印度出发，传到斯里兰卡、马来西亚、泰国、新加坡、日本、越南等。不同国家、虽有不同的料理秘方，但是，受欢迎程度是不相上下的。

正宗印度咖喱以丁香、小茴香子、胡荽子、芥末子、黄姜粉和辣椒等香料调配而成，在大马，咖喱加入椰浆，让它更香浓。

在本地印度咖喱味四处飘香之外，华人厨手烹调的咖喱,粉丝也不少，一样让老饕吃得“面红耳赤”，津津有味。

从小吃到大 人情味加分 美味咖喱饭配料多

每天大清早，总见许多上班族、安娣安哥在路边大排长龙，大家都围着一辆三轮车档口，默默地等待……人群中有个男子双手忙着舀饭，嘴巴则忙着问顾客想要加什么料，此刻其身边一位较年长的助手，则忙着将舀好的咖喱饭打包然后递给顾客。

这档咖喱饭卖得家喻户晓，在过去26年来，住在霹雳律大路后一带的男女老少，都吃过他的咖喱饭，有者甚至从小吃到大，美味自然是这档咖喱饭的卖点，而浓浓的人情味更为这道佳肴加分不少。

凌晨3时做饭

44岁档主周祥益每天凌晨3时，当人家还在会周公的时候就起身做饭煮咖喱，直至早上7时就前往霹雳园组屋旁摆卖。从一开档，他就一直忙到收档，即使需要站在路旁排队苦候，但慕名而来的顾客还是宁愿等候，为的就是一包香喷喷、热辣辣的咖喱饭。

周祥益表示，其父亲周天发早在1983年就开始在大路后巴刹摆卖咖喱饭，当时卖的是一般的椰浆饭，配料不多。而他是在18岁时成为父亲的助手，边做边学，直至1991年父亲年迈退休，当时26岁的他才正式接手父业，继续把父亲的咖喱饭发扬光大。

数种不同风味

他说，早期他们父子俩是在大路后巴刹内摆卖，后期才迁出霹雳律大路旁营业。他在继承父业后，除了保留父亲的传统味道，也不断精益求精为咖喱饭注入新元素，研制出数种不同的咖喱风味，目前有印度式、娘惹式及酸辣式咖喱风味，任由顾客选择。

与其父不同的是，周祥益不再卖椰浆饭，转以白饭配咖喱汁，而且配料也比早期父亲经营的时代更多样化。目前其咖喱饭的配料有：煎鱼、虾饼、咖喱鸡、马铃薯、鸡腿、鸡肝、鸡脚、鲨鱼、羊角豆、煎蛋包、水煮蛋、黑酱油鸡、大虾及墨鱼。

只做打包生意

周祥益卖的咖喱饭便宜好吃，已是众所周知的事，这也是顾客为了打包一包咖喱饭，宁可大排长龙的原因之一。目前其咖喱饭售价分为小（RM2.20）、中（RM2.50）、大（RM3.00），加料另计（顾客可选择加大虾、墨鱼或任何配料）。

● 小饭的配料：水煮蛋半粒、煎鱼1块、鲨鱼1块、鸡肉1块、羊角豆2小段、马铃薯。
● 中饭的配料：水煮蛋半粒、煎鱼1块、鲨鱼1块、鸡肉1块、羊角豆2小段、马铃薯、虾饼1块。
● 大饭的配料：水煮蛋半粒、煎鱼1块、鲨鱼1块、鸡翼1块、羊角豆2小段、马铃薯、虾饼1块。

由于人手不足，周祥益担心自己做不来，因此目前只做打包生意，并没捧上前招待服务。虽然如此，每天到来排队的顾客还是络绎不绝。
