Time for a rear-ality check. Colorectal cancer rates have been rising among adults younger than 50 since the 1990s, a troubling trend that has perplexed scientists.

Let’s be honest, there are plenty of beautiful spots across the US, from cozy mountain towns to sweeping beach vistas to tranquil open landscapes. However, the USA’s national parks always take that out-of-this-world beauty to a whole other level. With outstanding wildlife, world-class hikes, and panoramas you’ll never forget, they just hit a little differently….
連續兩個周末，我都在啟德做義工。 我曾多次到西藏旅行，對唐卡有一種特別情感。最近在啟德舉行的「雪域的祝福」大型唐卡展，令我能以導賞員身份，近距離感受它們。展覽展出三十七幅逾百年歷史、極為珍罕的唐卡，規模甚至被佳士得亞洲區主席程壽康稱為「百年一遇」！策展人劉洪文燕指出，唐卡不僅是一種藝術形式，更蘊含祝福，公眾免費入場。作為收藏家，她謙稱這些唐卡，不屬於她，萬般帶不走，都是大家的。 很多來看唐卡的朋友，對當中描繪的「忿怒相」，非常有興趣。「忿怒相」是佛菩薩、護法或本尊展現出的威猛、憤怒、怖畏的外貌與姿態，除具兇猛威嚴的面容與行動力十足的肢體動作外，更身披獸皮，手持金剛杵，頭戴骷髏冠，腳踏魔王，以表達力量與威懾。有公眾聽見，有些護法更是傳統中救苦救難的觀世音菩薩所變現，問我為甚麼要這樣？然而，威嚴只是表象，內心卻是最慈悲。力量和威懾，並非要殺戮，反而是用來降伏——先要破除眾生的執念和煩惱；再者以慈愛感化魔障外道。 說到以慈悲來抗敵，佛教中有懷愛、懷業。一般人往往會想到把愛人勾召過來，對自己順服。但這只是世間對懷業的一個膚淺理解。佛教的懷愛和民間的和合之術不同：不為自身利益，而是幫助信眾攝受眾生，增進人緣，廣行菩薩道，利益他人。小至個人，大至弘法利生，如果別人對你沒有心生歡喜，則無從布法。 我在展覽會做義工，很多人懇切感謝，都說從未見一個展覽有這麼多導賞員在現場細心解說。大家不用言謝，因為每位到訪者都是「乘願而來」。沒有前生發願，又何以有緣，聽見我們今日為大家道出一個個故事？ 撰文 : 金鈴 欄名 : 鈴動悉地 Source link
