山脚下男孩- 月亮圆
山脚下男孩的经典,中秋将至,特别上载,分享分享!!

*月亮圓 月亮圓 月亮照在我的家
沒有春夏秋冬的家 流傳千年

重唱 *

#現在的孩子不相信 月亮有小白兔
功課与電腦 使他們不再听古老的神話
當高樓大廈 遮擋了古老的月亮
就趁這季節 讓你的孩子知道
古老的神話 源自何方

我愛你不是因為你是誰,而是我在你面前可以是誰。

2. No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won't make you cry.
沒有男人或女人是值得你為他流眼淚,值得的那一位,不會要你哭。

3. Just because someone doesn't love you the way you want them to, doesn't mean they don't love you with all they have.
那人不是你所想般愛你,但不代表那人不是全心全意地愛你。

4. A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
一個真正的朋友是向著你伸手,觸動你心靈的人。

5. The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can't have them.
掛念一個人最差的方式,就是你坐在他身旁,而知道你不能擁有他。

6. Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
就算你不快樂也不要皺眉,因為你永不知道誰會愛上你的笑容。

7. To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
在世界裡你可能只是某人,但對某人你可能是全世界。

8. Don't waste your time on a man/woman, who isn't willing to waste their time on you.
不要花時間在一個不會花時間在你身上的人。

9. Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
可能神要我們在遇到那位對的人之前先遇上一些錯的人,讓我們遇到那位對先生/對小姐時懂得珍惜。

10. Don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
不要因為完結而哭,要為曾經發生而微笑。

11. There's always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
這個世界永遠也會有一些傷害你的人,你要做的就是繼續去信人和小心你下次信的人。

12. Make yourself a better person and know who you are before you try and know someone else and expect them to know you.
在你嘗試了解其他人和盼望其他人明白你之前,先把你自己變成一個更好的人和了解你自己。

13. Don't try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
不要太努力去找,最好的東西是在你最預計不到的時 候出現。

REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
緊記: 所有事也是因果循環的。

True friends: How many people actually have 8 true friends?
真正朋友: 有幾多人有八位真正的朋友? Hardly anyone I know ! But some of us have all right friends and good friends!!! 我幾乎不認識這些人! 但在我們當中有些人全有對和好的朋友!!!

观音感应故事-慧济禅寺


来源:戒邪淫论坛 作者:佚名 

  明朝时代有一位小沙弥 ( 未成年即出家就称为小沙弥 ) ,他住在普陀山的寺庙里,有一天他心血来潮就到郊走走,远眺普陀山的最高峰,心想普陀山是观世音菩萨的道场,感应奇迹很多,心想那最高的山峰说不定有道场或修行人在那里,于是在好奇心的驱使下,就往普陀山最高峰而去,一路上蔓草丛生,荆棘遍布,小沙弥不畏艰难的爬上最高的佛顶山,想不到佛顶山是一片广大的平原,他站在山顶上往下一看,普陀山一览无遗,于是非常高兴的四处走走,到底有没有人在此修行,可是走了许久竟未发现有修行的 人,正在失望之余,忽然在地上发现一块石碑,石碑上还刻了四个大字写着「慧济禅寺」,小沙弥对「慧济禅寺」四字感到有点印象,也感到特别的亲切,心想「这 山峰以前有人来过,并建过道场,不然怎会留下此石碑呢?前人既然能在山峰寺庙,那我也能在此建寺庙,好让想静修的人有个道场,可以静心用功,就这样决定 了。」小沙弥抱着充满信的心情回到山下,并向师父说:「师父!普陀山最高的山顶,还有一片平地,以前好像建过道场,弟子发愿想去那里建道场,不知师父的意 见如何?」
  师父本来静静的聆听小沙弥的述说,但是一听只有十几岁的出家人竟然想在佛顶山辟建道场,而大吃一惊:「什么!你年纪轻轻就想到佛顶山建道场,你有没有讲错?你要知道光是。想搬木材上山就是一大难题了,更何况是想在那里建造寺庙了,你真是太天真了,也太不自量力?要建自己去建。」
  小沙弥说:「弟子己经发愿了,如果师父不帮忙,那弟子只好自己去建了。」
  师父听了又说:「你以为建道场就像砌积木吗?你静静的去想,真是乳臭未干的小孩,我不想再听了。」
  许多师父看到小沙弥,年纪轻轻就想建道场,于是都来劝说:「小师弟!算了吧!修行修行还发什么愿,真是自找苦吃,赶快打消念头吧!」
  可是小沙弥并不这么想,他想既然大家都看不起我,那我就做给大家看吧!于是拜别了师父,走向大殿跪在观世音菩萨圣像前,虔诚默祷说:「 观世音菩萨!弟子发愿要兴建道场,希望菩萨保佑弟子,使弟子完成誓愿。」
   小沙弥离开了师父,离开了本可依靠的道场,乃是为了完成他宿世以来的心愿,在佛顶山兴建道场,因为小沙弥的前世就是发愿在佛顶山兴建「慧济禅寺」的师 父,又乘愿再来的小沙弥,现在愿力不失,仍然力行宿世的善愿。俗语说:「人有善愿,天必从之。」但是小沙弥发愿要在佛顶山兴建道场,的确是一件不容易的 事。小沙弥左思右想:「要兴建道场,首先就要去化缘,因为有钱才能买建材、请工人」。于是小沙弥满怀信心的走向人多的闹市,有时候一家一家的化缘,有时候 就站在市场门口,可是所得到的钱太少了,晚上睡在破庙里,有时候几天也化不到一块钱,还要遭人白眼及冷嘲热讽,有时候好几天才得到一些冷饭剩菜,不知不觉 中三年时间过去了,庄严灵巧的小沙弥仍然每天在大街小巷敲着木鱼,挨家挨户化缘,他尝尽人间的冷暖岁月,头发未剪,衣服破旧,乍看之下很像一位又脏又穷的小乞丐,人见人怕更化不到钱了。
   有一天,他伤心流泪的走到河边,看到潺潺的流水,想起悠悠的岁月,三年了换来的是理想的破碎,于是悲从中来,在河边嚎啕大哭,心想兴建道场原来只是美梦 一场空,他已没有信心再走下去了,就在此时,他突然灵机一动,看看被他敲了三年的木鱼,早己斑剥不堪了,不如把它放入河里,求菩萨保 佑,看木鱼漂流何处,他就在那里化缘,不要再漫无目标的化缘了,于是就真的把木鱼放入河里,他也跟着木鱼跑,奇迹竟然出现了,木鱼流到某处就停在那里打转 不再流下去了,小沙弥心想这里一定有大护法吧!否则木鱼怎会在此打转呢?于是就赶快把木鱼捞起来,可是当他捞起木鱼后,才看到这里根本看不到什么大户人 家,连一个人影也没有,只有一大片的树林,小沙弥心想木鱼既然漂流到这里停下来,那就在这里敲木鱼吧!
  于是小沙弥在河边就念着「南无 观世音菩萨、南无 观世音菩萨..........。」一心念着菩萨圣 号,手中敲着木鱼,三天三夜也看不到半个人影。正在心疲力尽时,有一富贵人家离河边一里路,家中的老夫人卧病在床已有数年光阴了,虽然儿子在朝为官,也聘 请各地名医前来医治,服尽了不名贵中药,仍然毫无起色,但是连续三天来都听到远处传来的木鱼声,使她忘记了痛苦,更感到清凉愉快,于是老夫人唤来仆人,并 对仆人说:「你们赶快去找那位敲木鱼的人,我想我的病体只有那位敲木鱼的人才能治好。」
  仆人听老夫人的指示,循着细微的木鱼声寻去,终于在河边看到小沙弥,并对小沙弥说:「老夫人有请,请您跟我走一趟。」小沙弥三天三夜没吃东西,连一点气也没有,仆人于是扶着小沙弥走路。
  「回禀老夫人,这位就是敲木鱼的人,他已三年没理发,二年没换衣,三年没鞋穿,三天没吃饭了。」仆人人向老夫人禀告说。
  「真可怜啊!快吩咐下去,立即准备齌饭、僧衣、罗汉鞋,并请来剃头师,快替小师父安顿吃穿的问题再说吧!」老夫人指示仆人赶快去办。
  一会儿时间,小沙弥又恢复原来清净庄严的模样。老夫人看小师父容焕发的样子,心里也舒服了一些,于是对小师父说:「您怎会落到这般凄惨呢?」
  小沙弥就把发愿兴建道场的事,一五一十的讲给老夫人听。老夫人听完之后,感慨的说:「真是观世音菩萨感 应呀!想不到我花那么多钱,请来各地名医,服尽名贵中孳都不能治好的病,但自从听了您敲的木鱼声之后,身体的疾病然不孳而愈了,这真是不可思议呀!这样子 好了,您明天起不用再化缘了,兴建道场的事,由我来为您处理了。」老夫人讲完,即刻吩咐仆人去请回在朝为官的儿子,叫赶快去并陀山的最高峰兴建道场。
  在朝为官的儿子,知道菩萨的感应事迹也高兴的不得了,立即命令人上山兴建道场,现在普陀山的最高峰佛顶山的慧济禅寺,就这样兴建完成了。
  当时在挖地基时,意外的挖出一个老人像的木偶,竟然与小沙弥一模一样,原来小沙弥就是那位老人乘愿再来兴建道场的师父。「人有善,愿,天必从之;人有恶愿,天必毁之。」一点也不错。所以,善愿可发,恶愿勿发,发善愿虽然会得来艰苦的磨练,但在菩萨的 感应下,终将完成使命;发恶愿,好吃懒做,胡作非为,胁迫他人,虽然得到一时逞强的淫威,可是恶报终将临头,自尝苦果。这是千真确的事实,连一点侥幸与碰 运气的机会也没有,如果有,那是因为您的善果未尽,祖德遗荫的原因,绝对不是运气不好或运气好的原因,所以千万不要心存侥幸。
  人心,其实好像是一个无形记录器,人的业障、人的善愿、人的因果、 人的恶愿都逃不了无形记录器的记载。一点也错不了,否则天地、日月的运转早就紊乱了,早就毁灭了,怎会分秒不差的日夜循环?人造的时钟要是没电就会不准, 甚至停止,人造的时钟容易毁坏,而无形时钟历久不衰,所以「顺天者生,逆天者亡。」「人算不如天算」真是一点也不差呀!

【佛法】兩字是教化道的骨髓精華。是師師秘咐之方法,此法是修成 仙佛之路徑,教外別傳之真理,此【佛法】不藏佛經文字之中,愚人 經中覓佛法。經中若有佛法,達磨不必西來東渡救迷情。經中若有佛 法,神光講道四十九年,何必再拜達磨祖師。經文中若有佛法,六祖慧能不識文字如何認識佛法?

感叹人不如这只 “慈悲”

灵犬持戒10年 轻松往生

佛友们亲眼目睹黑狗法师轻松往生的瑞相,感动之余亦自勉不可人不如狗! 人出家听得多,狗出家,听过没? 这不是搞噱头、玩把戏,而是一个长达十年,许多人亲眼目睹的事实。就在邻近三宝山和一座马来坟场之间的一座佛教道场,一只小狗默默追随他的主人长斋礼佛,修行一生! 最近,狗儿修成证果,在众目睽睽下,无病无痛的安然一卧,即刻往生成佛,吓得本来不信佛法、不信念佛真的可以往生成佛的一位「牙擦仔」当场落荒而逃!「义犬法师」以畜生身持出家戒的义行也因此而逐渐在信徒间传遍开来。「可千万别小看它只是一只狗,『慈悲』还会向人讨念珠,挂在脖子上後走来走去的它,看起来,气度、姿势,明明白白就是一只义犬法师!」一位在这间名为马六甲净宗学会的佛教道场活动修学的信徒表示。 佛法讲平等看待一切众生,因此当小狗流露出有别於他的善根智慧时,这间佛教道场的主持人怀西老人,也即是黄佛乾居士以及他一群志同道合的追随者也就依据佛法,以平常心看待,待之如「人」。

狗儿名慈悲,也的确「狗」如其名,吃素、念佛、拜佛,一生闭关--大门大开却连正眼也不瞧,依然端坐佛前;最难得也令人难以置信却又千真万确的是:放眼当今社会,连人也不能认真做到的「佛门四大戒律」:杀生、偷盗、淫欲、妄语,一只狗儿竟然能够严格做了一辈子,令许多善男信女自叹人不如狗! 当代佛门高僧,目前旅居澳洲的净空法师曾经感叹说:「现代许多人连鬼都不如!鬼道众生学佛求法态度非常认真,往生的也很多......」言犹在耳,日前轰动马六甲正信佛教界的这件真实「佛闻」,似乎再度印证了苦口婆心、慈悲之极的老法师所说的法语金言。今天社会许多人不仅不如鬼,也不如畜生! 颈上挂著念珠的黑狗「慈悲」,气派、姿态真的俨然一位大法师。 故事可得从十几年前说起:当时已经吃素念佛的黄佛乾居士还未搬至目前所居住的三宝井万寿园。附近一只母狗常常到来讨食,饼乾、糕饼也照样吃得津津有味;流浪在外的它却三番四次被粗心糊涂的公路司机驾车撞伤;黄居士一家於心不忍,便收留了它。不久,母狗生下一胎小狗,当中一只被黄居士命名为「慈悲」的黑狗更明显表露了他的善根。

黄佛乾居士经济能力并不富裕,要收留这一家母子狗还得从自己的伙食费中省吃俭用,找出一笔盈余来喂养它们;但出於一片修行人的慈悲心,黄居士不介意自己少吃少花一点来救护这几条可怜的小生命。但是佛法讲因果报应,万事万物都离不开因果,这一家母子狗会轮回流转畜生道流浪街头,几度险些丢失生命也必有其前世业障,救命更须教心,黄居士告诉它们必须认真努力学佛,最好能够严持戒律,不仅吃素,还要不伤害其他小生命。 没想到「慈悲」独具超凡的善根,竟然把多少大法师自认也不能完全做到的佛门戒律全部做到,成为所有见过它的善男信女口中公认的「义犬法师」。 四年前,儿女长成,世间责任已尽,了无牵挂的黄佛乾居士,舍家为寺,取号怀西老人,成立马六甲净宗学会。黑狗慈悲的善根更明显的被来来往往的信徒门所广知。 有人说:狗儿不会说话,如何见得他不妄语?事实是:慈悲体格强壮,吠声宏亮,但是从不乱吠,来往马六甲净宗学会的信徒众多,除非来者不善,心存恶念,义犬法师决不乱吠。「吠」,是狗的「语言」,不乱吠,即不妄「语」。 还有人疑:人把狗关著,当然一生「闭关」(关闭)、没有机会杀生、淫欲啦!事实是:每个信徒都亲眼见过,大门大开,外面不是没有母狗走过,也当然不会没有小猫或其他小动物走过,义犬法师慈悲却总是安然不动,连走出门口的意思都没有! 第三、有人怀疑:让狗儿带念珠,按照出家人的规矩学佛修行是否符合佛法戒律?近代弘一大师的所作所为是最好答案,打开大师的传记年谱,你会看到,弘一大师自小便「敬猫如敬人」,还有弘一法师亲自著作的《养老鼠实验谈》--而这只老鼠竟然还是一只咬坏佛像、咬破佛经的捣蛋老鼠! 对於「慈悲」这只慧根独具的狗,黄居士倒是毫不犹豫地翘起拇指,大声赞叹:「这只狗了不起!肯定往生!」 黄佛乾居士舍家为寺,成立现代化的佛寺:马六甲净宗学会。 细说黑狗往生那天情形,黄居士告诉记者:「慈悲把喂它的食物轻轻吐出,然後走去大、小二便,将身体的秽物全部排出......」佛典记载:许多高僧大德、修行有成就者往生时情形也大多如此,先主动断食--停止进食、排泄、沐浴乾净,以清净之身等待阿弥陀佛来迎接,清清楚楚、轻轻松松;看慈悲样子,当然已经心里有数。 「当时我正与一位姓曾的老朋友谈话,他坚持不信人会往生西方极乐世界成佛,他还问我:有谁亲眼看过甚么人能那么潇洒往生?」就在此时,慈悲走近黄居士脚边,轻轻躺下,说走就走! 此时,突然不知道从那里飞来许多各类不同颜色的小鸟,情形就像传说中圣德的君王登基时,百鸟和鸣、百鸟朝凰那样,「义犬法师」的往生竟让马六甲净宗学会门前出现连邻居也目瞪口呆的难得一见瑞相。别说是狗,有多少人能够在离开这个世间时如此安然潇洒自在、没有呻吟挣扎,而且还不忘主人一生养育、照顾之恩,临走还为主人的说法亲身作证明,以性命做最後的供养! 佛门有一种说法:话说出家人接受十方供养,「施主一粒米,大如须弥山;今生不了道,披毛带角还!」意思是说:出家人接受施主钱财、衣食供养,修行必须有所成就,否则来生就会投身畜生道来偿还!古往今来便有不少佛门典故记载出家人不修行,投胎堕落到动物身上去受苦报。 马六甲这位「义犬法师」却正好相反,他是不幸落到畜生道,却有幸遇到佛门善心人,身在佛门道场,抓紧机会礼佛修行,结果成就比一般人还了不起! 往生後的慈悲入殓时一脸安祥自在,俨然老僧入定的自然恬适,看得人羡慕不已,却也暗自警惕:岂可人不如狗?感动不已的佛友们慢慢把消息传播开来,很多人都知道马六甲净宗学会有一位修行、持戒比许多人类都还认真的黑狗行者,「义犬法师」的美名也逐渐被叫开来。 说真的,一只小小狗儿能够用一生坚持主人兼恩人、恩师的教诲,不受诱惑,虽然大门天天开著,就算大摇大摆走出去,人类也顶多感叹一句:「动物嘛!本性难移。」动物本能的作用既然也能被克服,如果不是亲眼见到、亲耳听到,而且众口一词,千真万确,还真难以让人相信。真是不得不说一句:「佛法无边」,更不得不惊叹一句:「动物真的也有灵性啊!」

About Mobile's world and consumerism














What is 3G ?

In mobile telephony, third-generation protocols support much higher data rates, measured in Mbps, intended for applications other than voice. 3G networks trials started in Japan in 2001. 3G networks are expected to be starting in Europe and part of Asia/Pacific by 2002, and in the US later. 3G will support bandwidth-hungry applications such as full-motion video, video-conferencing and full Internet access. www.3gpp.org

Regarding to the http://www.gsmworld.com/using/health/faq.shtml , i capture some common questions about the GSM technology and Scientific research to help to address the residual uncertainties about mobile phone technology and human health such as below.


I've read that mobile phones can cause cancer. Is this true?
There is no convincing scientific evidence that the use of mobile phones can cause brain tumours or other cancers in humans. It is the consensus of the world wide scientific community that the low powered radio signals produced by a mobile phone do not have sufficient intrinsic energy to affect genetic material.

What about other health risks?
Independent scientific institutions around the world review relevant research as it is published. The consensus of these expert groups is that there is no demonstrable evidence of a risk to human health from mobile phone use. The GSM Association however, continues to support international quality research into this question.

How can we be sure that this research is accurate?
Sophisticated and sensitive research methods using well-tried models for assessing health risks from other agents have been applied to investigate the safety of mobile phones. Many research institutions and the safety standards and guidelines according to which such research is conducted, are controlled by government and independent bodies around the world. Research results are continually reviewed at an international level by organisations such as the International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) and the World Health Organisation (WHO).

I live close to a base station. Am I at risk?
Where members of the public have access to the area around a base station the radio signal levels are typically much lower than even the most stringent internationally adopted safety guidelines. It is only in areas close to the antennas that the recommended limits may be exceeded. The network operator will take steps to prevent public access to these areas by placing the antennas near the top of the mast or high on a building. GSM base stations operate with low radio signal powers to reduce interference to nearby sites that could affect call quality. For the typical GSM base station that is mounted on a building or a pole the typical maximum signal strength in publicly accessible areas will be less than 1% of most national RF exposure standards. In many cases, the GSM signal strength will be comparable to existing broadcast radio and TV services.

My friend wears a hearing aid - can he use a mobile phone?
Most new models of hearing aids are immune to radio frequency interference from GSM phones that are more than 2 metres away. Some are also immune to interference when the phone is brought up to the same ear as the hearing aid. The result depends on the level of immunity designed into the hearing aid, the nature of the hearing loss and the type of mobile phone. Unfortunately many types of older hearing aids may be susceptible to interference making it very difficult to use a mobile phone. Should interference be experienced, there are several things that can be done which may improve the situation:

  • If possible use the mobile phone at the non aided ear;
  • Use a different, more immune hearing aid;
  • Use a hands free accessory. Different accessories can be coupled to the hearing aid by either using the Microphone or T-Coil position.
  • Vibrating batteries are also available.

The GSM Association has produced further information in conjunction with the European Hearing Instrument Manufacturers Association (EHIMA) to answer questions in more detail regarding this issue.


Will my pacemaker be affected by the signal from a mobile phone?
Brands and models of cardiac pacemakers exhibit a wide range of immunity levels to GSM and other types of radio signals. Therefore, people who wear cardiac pacemakers and who want to use a GSM phone should seek the advice of their cardiologist. If, as a pacemaker user, you are still concerned about interaction with mobile phones, it has been suggested by national health authorities that you:

  • maintain a 15 cm (6 inch) separation between the phone and your pacemaker;
  • do not hold your phone to your chest, e.g., don't carry the phone in a breast pocket;
  • refer to your pacemaker product literature for information on your particular device; and
  • refer to your phone product literature for the technical parameters of your phone.
My car has an on-board computer. If I make calls whilst driving, will my phone disrupt the computer?
Tests conducted by vehicle manufacturers show no interference effects on airbags, automatic braking or cruise control systems during normal phone use, despite some media reports to the contrary. It is possible that a mobile phone could cause an interference with vehicle audio and remote locking systems, but only if held close to the devices. You should remember that care needs to be taken - and in some countries it is against the law - to use a hand-held mobile whilst driving a vehicle. A professionally installed hands-free kit is recommended. It is also recommended that you pull over if the call is likely to be long, stressful or complex. Safe driving should be the highest priority.

Why can't I use my mobile phone when I fly?
It is standard practice on aircraft to turn off all types of radio transmitters and certain other electrical devices such as CD players during flight. When airborne, the radio signals from mobile phones can travel for hundreds of kilometers and this could interfere with the operation of ground based phones. It is therefore highly recommended that you obey the airline's instructions to switch off your mobile phone. Download the following additional information on wireless device use on aircraft as a PDF file (73kb)

Why are there so many restrictions on using mobile phones in hospitals?
At short range, the radio signal from a mobile phone may cause interference with electronic medical devices. At distances greater than 2m the possibility is substantially reduced. It is possible for mobile phones to be used in designated areas of hospitals, however, you should obey any warning signs and the instructions of hospital staff. If you use electrical medical equipment in your home, we recommend that you seek the advice of your doctor or equipment supplier.

What about mobile phone use while driving?
Driving safely is of paramount importance to everyone on today's busy roads, and mobile phones should be used responsibly while on the move. The industry has developed a wide range of equipment and features to help you do this and the use of a professionally installed car-kit is recommended. (Note: it is an offence in many countries to hold a mobile phone to the head while driving.) However, the GSM Association advises that it may be sensible to pull over during difficult traffic conditions or when calls are likely to be long, complex or emotional. The GSM Association advises drivers at all times to obey the national laws of the country in which they are travelling.

I've heard reports of mobile phones causing explosions at petrol stations, is this true?
As far as the GSM Association is aware none of the media stories has ever been traced to a real event, however, speculation has been encouraged by the notices produced by petroleum companies. Mobile phone user guides also frequently advise that phones should be switched off in the vicinity of petrol forecourts. This is not due to the radio signals transmitted by the phone but because of the theoretical risk that if a handheld phone is dropped and the battery separates from the phone it may cause a spark across the contacts. This is also true of other battery-powered devices such as torches, walkman, CD players, etc. There may be more tangible hazards associated with the distraction of using a mobile phone while operating a petrol pump. Therefore, the GSM Association position is that mobile phone users should respect the prohibitions of the fuel companies, and follow any relevant advice given in their mobile phone user guides.

What are the safety standards that apply to mobile phones and base stations?
There are a number of national and international standards bodies that have developed safety standards that apply to mobile phones and base stations. These committees are usually composed of persons with expertise in key areas and representatives of major stakeholder groups. For specific information you should contact the telecommunications regulator in your country.The majority of Western standards are quite similar in their basic approach to limit setting, in that by reviewing available research they determine the threshold dose for an established biological hazard and then incorporate safety factors to define the allowable level. The safety factors are intended to account for uncertainty in establishing the threshold level.The radio safety standards applied in some former east European countries take a different approach to setting of allowable levels and in many cases appear substantially more conservative than western standards. However, the rationale for such standards is less well documented and with the political changes in Eastern Europe some of these countries have adopted Western guidelines.Under the umbrella of the World Health Organization (WHO) International EMF Project efforts are being made to achieve standards harmonisation between east European and Western standards.Download the following flyer on the compliance of handsets as a PDF file: Understanding SAR (44kb)

How do we know that 3G and the other new radio technologies are safe?
There is a large body of existing scientific research at frequencies above and below those for 3G services, and a growing body of science using these particular signals. Expert groups have not established any signal or modulation specific effects, so the scientific consensus is that compliance with current safety standards provides protection against all known health effects. The Australian Communications Authority states that the average power from a 3G base station is a little more than one tenth of the power of a taxi's two-way radio. In addition, 3G handsets continually adjust their power levels to the lowest level necessary to maintain adequate call quality.

There were recent media reports of a mobile phone attracting lightning, is this possible?
The GSM Association is not aware of any scientific evidence to indicate that mobile phone use is not safe during lightning. Somebody who is outside increases their risk of being struck if they are on high ground, in an open space, near water or near large metallic structures or trees. If you are outside, find shelter in a substantial building or in a fully enclosed metal vehicle with the windows completely shut. If this is not possible, you should follow the instructions of responsible safety organisations.

Is it safe for my child to use a mobile phone?
The current World Health Organization view is that international safety guidelines protect everyone in the population with a large safety factor. In addition, in February 2004 the Health Council of the Netherlands stated it sees no reason for recommending limiting the use of mobile phones by children. Mobile phones do provide important safety benefits to children who can use them in times of distress or emergency situations. However, mobile phones are not toys, and the GSM Association encourages parental supervision in the selection and use of mobile communication technologies for children.

十年了- 活佛老師慈悲


十年了,徒兒認爲道還真不真?
十年了,徒兒認爲理還真不真?
十年了,徒兒認爲天命還真不真?
十年了,徒兒認爲仙佛借竅還真不真?

這一分真,有以前在練講三寳時那麽認真嗎?
這一分真,有以前在學聖歌時那麽天真嗎?
所謂明道精進,是明白自身之真道才能精進對方向。
若專求於身外之道,恐越精進或迷真而不自知?
故《明道精進》易明而難行。
徒兒在操辦一方道務的時候,是否忽略了配合大體;
徒兒在私下成全眾生的時候,是否忽略了自身帶動。

十年了,徒兒從新道修到老道了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從知道修到做到了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從脾氣修到道氣了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從埋怨修到感恩了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從殘忍修到仁慈了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從悲觀修到樂觀了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從固執修到隨喜了嗎?
十年了,徒兒從自私修到布施了嗎?

性要修得有慈悲、有智慧才能清靜,
心要修得有理性、有感性才能清明,
身要修得有健康、有作爲才能清高。
在白陽期修道不容易。

徒兒啊!你們的道是怎麽修的?
遇到逆境的時候,沒心情修;
等到順境的時候,就忘記修;
受到考驗的時候,又困難修;
經濟不景的時候,更沒空修。

為師看啊!
徒兒通常都是在有問題要求幫忙的時候,
才會加減修(台語)與上天交換條件的心態啊!
如此的修道又怎能算有體悟呢?
徒兒啊!修道要專注,
要越修越無我,莫越修越為我;
要越修越捨得,莫越修越貪得。

十年了,徒兒的生活配不配合著修道辦道啊?
十年了,徒兒的原則配不配合著重聖輕凡啊?
十年了,徒兒的表現配不配合著財法雙施啊?
十年了,徒兒的堅持配不配合著清口茹素啊?
十年了,徒兒的金缐配不配合著尊師重道啊?
十年了,徒兒的愿立配不配合著實際精進啊?
十年了,徒兒的想法配不配合著中心理念啊?
十年了,徒兒的誠心配不配合著忠孝仁義啊?

修道不是一味地在考慮我要承擔什麽責任才適合,
修道不是一味地在選擇我要在什麽環境修才適合,
修道不是一味地在計較我要跟哪位領導修才適合,
修道更不是一味地在八卦誰跟誰不合,
是性格合不合?是作風合不合?還是相處合不合?

徒兒只需要記著兩個字—「配合」。
配合天時—普渡三曹修辦收圓。
配合時局—聖凡兼顧人我雙全。
配合衆生—剛柔並濟因材施教。
配合道場—開荒守成一貫精神。

十年了,徒兒還是時進時退,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是半功半罪,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是怨這怨那,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是説是說非,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是得過且過,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是無所展拓,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是沒有把握,怎麽辦?
十年了,徒兒還是一樣執著,怎麽辦?
徒兒說該怎麽辦呢?怎麽辦?怎麽辦?

看著辦啊!是不是啊?(是)
看天時而當辦,看道運而速辦;
看自己而能辦,看眾生而敢辦。
看理念而修辦,看因緣而合辦;
看前輩而學辦,看大體而共辦。

辦事可以隨心所欲,但辦道可要隨遇而安。
辦事可以我行我素,但辦道可要敬老尊賢。
辦事可以固執己見,但辦道可要溝通成全。
辦事可以一人當道,但辦道可要萬衆分擔。

道途要順利,必須要累積經驗。
道心要不變,必須要累積道學。
道範要長存,必須要累積德行。
道場要安穩,必須要累積精神。

十年了,徒兒都只知道淨手卻不知道洗心。
十年了,徒兒都只知道參駕卻不知道回家。
十年了,徒兒都只知道排班卻不知道整齊。
十年了,徒兒都只知道執禮卻不知道莊嚴。
十年了,徒兒都只知道發心卻不知道苦心。
十年了,徒兒都只知道修道卻不知道護道。
十年了,徒兒都只知道負責卻不知道犧牲。
十年了,徒兒都只知道慈悲卻不知道喜捨。

第一、該承擔的使命要自知。
第二、該推廣的道務要通知。
第三、該依循的腳步要認知。
第四、該歸宿的方向要窮知。

徒兒啊!走在修辦的路上,怎麽可以不知不覺呢!
對於心性的出路,又怎麽可以一知半解呢!是不是?(是)

當知道,
多少的因緣會合才能有根基,
多少的根基紮穩才會有機會;
多少的機會把握才能有參與,
多少的參與道場才能有一份;
多少的考驗經歷才能有體會,
多少的體會感動才能有發心;
多少的發心修辦才能有道氣,
多少的道氣凝聚才能有力量;

是前賢難當還是後學難爲啊?
是乾道好修還是坤道好煉啊?
是財施容易還是法施簡單啊?
是目標偉大還是過程精彩啊?

十年了,徒兒再精進一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒更明理一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒敢承擔一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒多放下一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒改脾氣一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒能自主一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒走出去一點行不行啊?
十年了,徒兒有遠見一點行不行啊?

有的徒兒一點考驗就不行了!
有的徒兒一點壓力就不行了!
有的徒兒一點委屈就不行了!
有的徒兒一點苦難就不行了!

行道莫被動,行道要主動。
行道莫爭寵,行道要理通。
行道莫放縱,行道要穩重。
行道莫斷送,行道要從容。

十年了,徒兒錢要賺心要不要修啊?
十年了,徒兒工要做道要不要辦啊?
十年了,徒兒功要立緣要不要廣啊?
十年了,徒兒道要安德要不要培啊?
十年了,徒兒事要成意要不要同啊?
十年了,徒兒罪要消愿要不要了啊?
十年了,徒兒行要遠路要不要舖啊?
十年了,徒兒家要大人要不要合啊?

十年啦!
為師該講得也講了,徒兒該聼的也聼了;
為師該做的也做了,徒兒該有的也有了。
上天該考的也考了,徒兒該在的也在了;
上天該應的也應了,徒兒該得的也得了。
剩下的就看徒兒「要不要」而已了!
看徒兒要不要再學習,看徒兒要不要再積極;
要不要繼續?(要)要不要珍惜?(要)

徒兒要珍惜有深厚的根基,
徒兒要珍惜有因緣走下去;
徒兒要珍惜有前輩的帶領,
徒兒要珍惜有真理的啓迪;
徒兒要珍惜有健康的身體,
徒兒要珍惜有責任能負起;
徒兒要珍惜有機會能出力,
徒兒要珍惜有和善做歸依。

要聖凡兼顧,不要說抽不出時間,
要財法雙施,不要說做不到完全;
要同心協力,不要說達不成心愿,
要功德並進,不要說成不了聖賢。

十年了,徒兒道心有專嗎?
十年了,徒兒點道有專嗎?
十年了,徒兒上台有專嗎?
十年了,徒兒煮菜有專嗎?
十年了,徒兒有沒有專挑自己毛病啊?
十年了,徒兒有沒有專找同修麻煩啊?
十年了,徒兒有沒有專給前輩頭痛啊?
十年了,徒兒有沒有專在是非攪和啊?
徒兒啊!專不專啊?
專與不專但看徒兒專到哪裡去!
只怕徒兒都專到地獄去了!

徒兒啊!為師要問了!
徒兒的學歷是唸到多高啊?有沒有唸到大專啊?
是唸理專呢還是唸工專啊?還是專門曡磚啊?
唉!專家有專門是不是?(是)那為師問徒兒
醫學專家知道救治靈性嗎?(不知道)
心理專家知道去除無明嗎?(不知道)
天文專家知道天堂何在嗎?(不知道)
探險專家知道生死門戶嗎?(不知道)唉!
修水喉的不知道飲水思源,鋪路的不知道出路哪邊;
施教育的不知道忠孝仁義,蓋房子的不知道建設榮園。

專心學習,不怕沒有機會出頭。
專心付出,不怕沒有感應回收。
專心負責,不怕沒有因緣成就。
專心建設,不怕沒有萬丈高樓。
