Inheritance From Dickson Idlier

If the software is not suitable, change it. There is 我是个人使用免费软件（开源）的爱好者。我的旧硬件可以满足我的个人需求。与我运行MS Windows 10的其他笔记本电脑相比，它速度慢且痛苦。 我一直在使用Linux，一个叫做“黑客操作系统”的操作系统。高度可配置，取决于您的技术技能，但一般适用于任何一般用户，因为他们有图形化的应用程序，所以您不会感到失落，相比上次命令行为王道的时候。 我经常使用的开源软件如下： 操作系统 -Lubuntu Linux。一个来自Ubuntu的变种，强大而经典的Windows界面。Lubuntu是为旧硬件设计的，因此更多的硬件应该可以工作。 办公室软件 - LibreOffice或WPSOffice。这两样东西都能满足我的需要。我也使用WPS演示网页通知创建。正常工作时用Libreffice。 视频播放器 - VLC媒体播放器。媒体播放器播放我的视频，有时也播放音乐。 音乐播放器 - Audacious。我用来播放歌曲的音乐播放器。 图形编辑 - ShowFoto。对于轻度编辑，例如调整图像大小和裁剪图像。 文件管理器 - Double Commander。这类似于MS Windows中的Total Commander。 互联网浏览器 - Vivaldi浏览器或火狐浏览器。我更喜欢Vivaldi浏览器，因为与火狐相比，它速度更快并且使用的资源更少。 记事本 - FeatherPad。默认记事本应用程序。很好用。

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.

人犯了很长时间的不合逻辑的错误。为物质财产赚钱以提高社会地位，并为将来的“美好生活”做准备，忽视他的健康，过着不会死的生活。错误是不在当下，永远不要考虑如果你死得比你预期的早会怎么样。如果你现在不清醒来改变你的生活重心，那么生命中宝贵的时刻就会错过或丢失。生活中有比金钱更重要的事情，比如和家人、朋友在一起，留下纪念性的回忆或经历。这些并不占用太多时间，但却是生活中更有意义的事件。如果这些东西丢了，钱是买不回来的。珍惜每一刻，活在当下，不要错过才后悔。 —— 闲人·迪克森

Picture taken from : 星雲大師弘法資料平台 Facebook Group Excellence Not Anger According to the First Noble Truth of Suffering, there are eight kinds of suffering in life, and hatred is one of them. It brings unspeakable suffering and arises when we encounter undesirable people or situations. Although our parents and teachers have repeatedly taught us to control our anger, we often ignore their advice and easily get angry with people and things in all kinds of situations. For example, I might be furious because you were not friendly or respectful. I might even resent you because you are better than I am or have a different view. Your success or wealth might agitate me. Your meaningless glance or words might enrage me just because I am too sensitive. No matter what the situation is, if I make up my mind to be angry and resentful, nothing will stop this powerful emotion from arising. People are too quick to unleash their anger, and as a result, an air of tension and negativity permeates our society...

From Facebook Group: 佛光世界-云水天下 星雲大師點撥 《迷悟之間》：觀照一切 佛教有一個修行的法門，名為「觀照」。凡今日社會人士，不管士農工商、政經名流，甚至演藝人員等，如果能夠懂得「觀照」，在生活中必有幫助。 「觀照」什麼呢？ 第一、觀照我與他人的關係；自問我是否有負於他人？ 第二、觀照我與物質的關係；自問我是否有浪費物資？ 第三、觀照我與金錢的關係；自問我是否有無理聚斂？ 第四、觀照我與情愛的關係；自問我是否有濫用感情？ 第五、觀照我與社會的關係；自問我是否有與社會互動？ 第六、觀照我與自心的關係；自問我是否做到心地清淨？ 人，往往只看到別人，看不到自己；看到表面，看不到內心。由於自他的「觀照」不夠，無法明白真相，因此產生煩惱。假如我們懂得「觀照」自己，常常自我反省，明白我與社會人間的關係，才能自我健全。 《般若心經》說：「觀自在菩薩行深般若波羅蜜多時，照見五蘊皆空」。因為懂得「觀照」，才能成為「自在」菩薩；因為「照見五蘊皆空」，才能「度一切苦厄」。 《觀無量壽經》又名《十六觀經》，例如觀日、觀月、觀水、觀地等；如果對大地山河、日月星辰，都能在內心裏有安放的地位，自然就會我心與外境調和、本體和現象一致，如此觀照，又何能不離苦得樂？ 佛陀說教，要「觀照」眾生的根機，才能觀機逗教；醫生要觀察患者的病症，才能對症下藥；農夫要觀看天時氣候，才能適時播種；父母要求子女，也要明白子女的根性，才能給予適性教育。 所謂觀照，才能彼此和諧；所謂觀照，才能彼此相應；所謂觀照，才能如魚得水；所謂觀照，吾人才能得道。 經商的人，要做市場調查，這就是觀照；建築大樓，要對土地環境了解，這就是觀照；從政的人，苦思解決民間社會的問題，這都是觀照。 會觀照的人，能夠探測因緣的關係；能觀照的人，能夠深入了解事相的內容。禪者觀心，心中有佛；淨人念佛，佛在心中。心中有佛，佛在心中，還怕人生會不圓滿嗎？            Contemplation "Contemplation" is a very important practice in Buddhism. It will bring unlimited benefit to our lives, regardless of our profession or social stature. But w...

This is a book that I have read and feels that it is one of the books to keep for reference or at least read once, on the topic of maintaining your health. You might be wondering, why fasting has got to do with your health? Read on... I would be summarizing based on chapters but I will focus on the main chapters as some chapters are not so important but if you are interested to read on them, please borrow the book from the National Library.  INTRODUCTION Dr. Jason Fung , a who is a Toronto based Nephrologist (kidney specialist) but he is known for his treatment using fasting method for obesity and type 2 diabetes. In 2012, he established the Intensive Dietary Management Program (IDM), which uniquely focus on diet as a treatment for obesity and type 2 diabetes. The underlying cause of obesity turns out to be a hormonal, rather than a caloric, imbalance. Excessively and persistently high insulin levels result inexorably in obesity. Insulin certainly lower...

I joined my wife to attend the "Caregivers forum" at Grand Hyatt Singapore Hotel at Scotts Road on 2nd Nov 2019.  During Dr. Ang Yong Guan (specialize in Psychiatry)'s presentation, he mentioned about two interesting people that changed his thinking and lifestyle.  Dr. Jason Fung  on "intermittent fasting" and  Mathew Walker  on "Sleep". Dr. Ang has mentioned in the presentation he has managed to keep his weight down with Dr. Jason Fung's advice.  With such information, I started to research these two people on Youtube and found their videos and books in the library as well. A little more of  Dr. Jason Fung , who is a Toronto based kidney specialist but he is known for his intermittent fasting for obesity and type 2 diabetes. As I got to know him, I realized that I am also doing a similar form of intermittent fasting (less than 24 hrs) every day. He talks about the benefits of fasting (Go to  10 Evidence-Based Health Benefits of I...

As I get free stuff through dumpster diving, a problem slowly materialized. Stuck with stuff I don't need but still useful. So initially thoughts to give away. The giveaway details are in my earlier blog post "Declutter in progress but where to get rid of my stuff?".  Below are pictures to show the magnitude of my hoarding problem. This is the state of my dining area This is the state of my guest room.  This is the state of my living room Eventually, I realized my giveaway approach has two flaws: 1. TOO MUCH EFFORT TO GIVE AWAY ITEMS Takes too much effort giving away single or multiple items. Posting of the items on different platforms, answering queries and confirmation of the collection schedule, begins seeping away my energy. While most receivers are nice people, some are not. As too much time wasted giving away, and this time wasted I can gather more stuff for dumpster diving. As the lack of time to do what I want, I started to reject this i...

The "Filipino Project" is started by Singapore freegan founder, Colin Lau. The project collects usable small items (clothes, bags, kitchenware, luggage, bed sheets, curtains, blankets, stationery, soft toys, plastic toys, shoes, electrical and electronics, lingerie, etc) and gives them to Filipinos. They pack these items into big carton boxes and ship back to their hometown in the Philippines. The Filipino groups pay for the shipping costs usually. These shipped items are then given to their family members, relatives, or church members as some are so poor, they can't afford a meal. Some items are sold to pay for their essentials, like food, electricity, etc. Visayas group that came to my place. Still have 2 ladies that not in the photo as they came later. This is my 7th giveaway to this project on 14 September 2019. Below are the giveaway items photos. This time round I have 13 boxes packed with clothes, bed sheets, bags, curtains, blankets, toys, and statio...
