Inheritance From Dickson Idlier

Image from: Mewatch.com Country: China Genre: Gaming, Time Travel Release Date: 2020 Rating:  ★★★ ★★ I just finished watching this drama on Mewatch.com. This is one of the best dramas that I have ever watched, especially since it is on esport. Initially, I wanted to watch it due to an esport drama, but it turned out to be such an excellent drama.  The drama is about 2 esport players for Crossfire game, XiaoFeng (Seven), a team leader for 1coin team in the year 2008 and another is XiaoBei (North), team leader for Continue team in the year 2019.  They somehow managed to contact each other through this game during an accident. With this encounter, they later managed to realize who each other is and they helped each other during different time eras to try to make some changes that happened. Through this, XiaoFeng managed to win the first CrossFire competition in China and XiaoBei managed to form an esport team and continued to compete CrossFire as a professional player. ...

您无需“富有”也可以给予任何人，尤其是陌生人。只需要有同情心和愿意付出。 —— Dickson Idlier “菲利波项目”是由新加坡弗里根创始人科林·刘发起的。该项目从公共捐助者那里收集可用的小物品(脸谱网“赠送和接受免费物品”组的帖子中的详细信息)或从新加坡不消费者(FIS)垃圾箱潜水那里收集物品，并赠送给新加坡的菲律宾外籍家政工人(FDW)。他们把这些东西装进大纸箱，然后运回他们在菲律宾的家乡。他们要么自己或从捐赠者分担运费。这些运送的物品被送给他们的家人、亲戚或教会成员，因为有些人太穷了，他们连一顿饭也买不起。有些物品也会被转卖用来支付生活必需品的，比如食物、电源等。几乎是零成本和可持续的慈善活动，因为它分发别人不需要或捐赠的物品给穷人，只需要空间，时间和努力去做。听起来像当志愿者，对吗？ 运送的物品正在卡车上分发。

I realized that I may have to include the profiles of the same speakers in multiple posts so I decided to summaries the main Chinese speakers that I liked and used their educational videos to translate to English for the English audience who are unfamiliar with Mandarin. Since their videos are so interesting and our unique chinese form of wisdom and thinking. These are the three main chinese speakers that I liked: Yi Zhong Tian (易中天) Yu Dan (于丹) Zeng Shi Qiang (曾仕強) He has limited videos that I think are suitable for me to put into this blog but I thinks he is a good speaker. Those interested can take a look at his videos from the "Lecture Room series". Think all are in Mandarin.  — Dickson Idlier Pictture from https://new.qq.com/omn/20191026/20191026A0KNWX00.html Yi Zhongtian 易中天 (born 8 February 1947) is a Chinese writer and historian.

Picture taken from : 星雲大師弘法資料平台 Facebook Group View All Sentient Beings with Compassion How do you view others? With suspicion, jealousy, disdain, or prejudice? Some may say, "The sage has eyes for heroes." True heroes are rare in this world and not many people possess the eyes of a sage, so it is more important if we are able to view sentient beings with eyes of compassion. Parents use compassionate eyes in bringing up their children. Teachers use compassionate eyes in monitoring their students' progress. Seniors use their compassionate eyes in watching the younger generation prosper, succeed, and make a good name for the family. A country uses compassionate eyes in viewing the overall well-being of its citizens. Good neighbors use compassionate eyes in helping each other. In benevolent organizations, workers use compassionate eyes to support one another. Human eyes are only physical, but if we pay others a little more attention and respect, they become eyes of compassio...

Unable to keep calm, often unable to calmly judge right from wrong, causing regret. Historically, in many wars, the originally advantageous side was often angered by the opponent's provocative methods, unable to keep calm, rushed to send troops, thus reversing the situation. In Buddhism, some vulgar monks can't wait and lose their calm, so fall into the secular world. It is self-cultivation effort to keep calm. When Xie An, famous general in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, was playing chess with his friends, he learned that his nephew, Xie Xuan, won the battle against enemy, but he was expressionless and still calmly played chess. Being calm is a kind of wisdom to endure humiliation. Zhang Zizhong, who is brave and heroic, was ordered to deal with the enemy, but he was mistaken for a traitor. However, he was calm and finally comple...

Article by Master Hsing Yun As the old saying goes, "if you are near red, you will be red." and "lotus lives in mud, grows upright on its own." It means that ordinary people are vulnerable to environmental impact. We want to stay away from evilness and get close to goodness, to be respectable in words and deeds. How to stay away from it, there are four points suggestions: Keep away from anger and evil. Stay away from four cardinal vices (wine, sex, avarice and temper). Keep away from killing, stealing and lust. Stay away from evil thoughts and folly.

Picture taken from : 星雲大師弘法資料平台 Facebook Group "Contemplation" is a very important practice in Buddhism. It will bring unlimited benefit to our lives, regardless of our profession or social stature. But what is the objective of contemplation? We must carefully examine our relationship with our fellow human beings to see if we have brought harm to them. We must carefully examine the way we treat our material possessions to see if we have been wasteful. We must carefully examine the way we accumulate our wealth to see if we have engaged in any unlawful acts. We must carefully examine our love for others to see if we have indulged in any irrational behavior. We must carefully examine our relationship with society to see if we have interacted improperly therewith. We must carefully examine our minds to see if we have achieved the state of mental purity. Very often, people have the tendency to neglect the "self" and to concentrate their minds on others' faults. Very ...

Picture taken from : 星雲大師弘法資料平台 Facebook Group Breaking the Deadlock Have you ever gotten into a fight with someone? How do you break the deadlock? In the course of your life, when there are conflicts and no one is giving in, how do you break the stalemate? Some people are good at breaking deadlocks and, with a smile, can easily bring an end to an argument. For them, there is no fight that can-not be resolved. Other people make a mountain out of a mole-hill, and a small matter can grow into a major issue that becomes difficult to settle. If you are often faced with deadlocks when handling different situations, the following are some ways to resolve them: 1. Maintain a low profile while handling conflicts. Never appear arrogant or high-handed, which can only make matters worse. 2. Apologize first when a stalemate is reached because it is polite and wise to do so. Apologizing does not mean losing. Conversely, by being unreasonable and overbearing, others will only despise you, causing yo...

The Tao Te Ching, (simplified Chinese: 道德经; traditional Chinese: 道德經), is a Chinese classic text traditionally credited to the 6th-century BC sage Laozi. The Tao Te Ching is a short text of 81 brief chapters or verses. There is some evidence that the chapter divisions were later additions and that the original text was more fluidly organised and read. It has two parts: The Tao Ching (chaps. 1–37), and the Te Ching (chaps. 38–81), which may have been edited together into the text we know today. It is thought that this possibly reversed from an original ‘Te Tao Ching‘. The Tao Te Ching is written in classical Chinese, which can be difficult to understand completely, even for well-educated native speakers of modern Chinese. Furthermore, many of the words that the Tao Te Ching uses are deliberately vague and ambiguous and, since there are no punctuation marks in classical Chinese, it can be difficult to conclusively determine where one sentence ends and the next begins.Moving a full-stop a...

Desire for a better life gets us more entrapped in the web of desires to overspend. Only by cutting away these threads of desires can we free ourselves and live a less stressful and more rewarding life by spending below our means.  ——  Dickson Idlier There are two ways to live life: 1. Live in a way that we spend less than we make. 2. Live in a way that spends more than we make. Spending exactly as you make does not happen as emergencies happen all the time, so is still in the second group. People would rationally choose spending less than we make but most don't.  In our civilized society, we are constantly bombarded with advertisements promising a better life than you have... if and only if, you are willing to spend to get it. This is so ingrained in our subconscious, from the moment we become sensible, we subtly and unintentionally fall into this trap. Increased income doesn't quench our desires. Offers for better life grow with our income... nicer cars, bigger houses, ...

When dumpster diving, you may find interesting stuff as you salvage through the green and blue trash bins and any items people left at the void decks. Here I will show you my most bazzar find. My most bazaar find is ... a Living   11-inch Freshwater Stingray .  My bazzar find live stingray in my 3 ft aquarium The 11 inch freshwater stingray was found in a broken 3ft tank beside the rubbish chute and slightly hidden by some kids' clothes laid on top of the tank. (I suspect the owner doesn't want anyone to notice it) Initially, I was only interested in the kids' clothes until I noticed it inside. When I saw it breathing, it surprised me. I was wondering how can I rescue it. I thought of releasing it in any pond or canals, but none is nearby (luckily as it might be a bad thing to do so). Finally, I decided to bring it home. I used a kids top to hold the tail and put it into a basket that was lying nearby. I carried the basket to my home.  Luckily, after the rough journey hom...

Desire breed from greed brings endless stress, anxiety, and hurt to yourself and others. however, if the desire benefits others rather than yourself, then it is a desire worth pursuing, even as a lifetime mission. —— Dickson Idlier I chanced upon this charity on a TV program (Neighbourhood Fixer 邻里来爆料) in Singapore on 16 March 2021. Mr Thomas Wee runs a thrift shop in Singapore and supports the Willing Hearts Orphanage in Bulacan, Philippines. Similar charity like the “ Filiporean Project ” by Colin Lau.  I am not acquainted with Mr Thomas but just want to applaud his hard work. He collects items from donors and sorted them to be sold in his shop or give to maids. The profits from his shop, fund, care for and educate Filipino orphan children, who are vulnerable without any adults looking after or guiding them. He established an orpha...

Giving out the stuff to villagers. Image from:   Giving and Taking Free Stuff Facebook Group You don’t have to be rich to donate. All it takes is having a little compassion and willingness to give. —— Dickson Idlier The “Filiporean Project” is started by Freegans In Singapore co-founder, Colin Lau. The project collects small usable items (details in posts from “ Giving and Taking Free Stuff “ Facebook Group) from public donors or dumpster-dived stuff from Freegans In Singapore (FIS) and donates to Filipino maids in Singapore. The main reason is shipping cost is cheapest to the Philippines. This project has caught up in the news and media in Singapore, so more donations have been pouring in so the maids (numbered to 300) are kept very busy.    Colin saw many usable small items when dumpster-diving around his neighborhood but has no use for them. When he found that Filipino maids wanted these items to bless their family, friends, and neighbors back in their village, he...
