下次旅行就決定是你了！斯德哥爾摩城市漫遊，感受屬於北歐的質感浪漫

去斯德哥爾摩之前，我對那裡的印象只停留在“諾貝爾頒獎地”，想像中Stockholm空氣裡都是古老書卷混雜著科技金屬味的氣息。 不知道的是，這裡是北歐島嶼最多的城市，被稱作“北方威尼斯”，四處建築無時不刻散發著令人難以置信的迷人魅力。 然而黑夜太長，白晝太短。四天時間，未能盡興。只能把一些點滴足跡與你們分享。 斯德哥爾摩老城／The Old Town 📍 The Old Town,Gamla Stan,Stockholm Stockholm的第一站必然是老城。用了一整個下午，漫步於此，總感覺自己穿越到了看過的歐洲的老電影裡。 斯德哥爾摩公共圖書館 ／ Stockholms stadsbibliotek 📍 Odengatan 63, Stockholm 113 80， Sweden 好久前在書店看到過一本介紹世界十大最美圖書館的書，光看圖片就已經嘆為觀止 ，於是默默地記了下來，其中就有斯德哥爾摩公共圖書館。 外觀是個名不見經傳的煙囪式建築，走進去卻像是置身於一個大型的“書山”，四周世界性的書籍環繞式排開，讓人有種被巨大的幸福和充實包圍著的美好感受。即便沒有時間坐下來細細品讀一本書，去參觀一下建築之美，也算是不虛此行。 斯德哥爾摩地鐵 / Stockholm Subway 📍 T-Centralen, the blue line 斯德哥爾摩大概擁有世界上最酷的地鐵。世界上一百多位藝術家為其一百多個地鐵站做的設計，進去像是進入了超現實的空間，起伏錯落有致，也像在岩洞裡，每走到一站，有種收到小驚喜的心情。 比如在藍線上的T-Centralen這一站，就像置身於一個海洋世界。 還有藍線上的Rådhuset和紅線的Stadion也都非常有特色。如果時間充裕，不妨可以來個地鐵旅行。 其他景點／Others 斯德哥爾摩很小，景點兩天時間就能逛完。很多都是步行或者一兩站地鐵可達的距離。非常值得一去的還有： – 瑞典王宮 Royal Palace 📍 111 30 | Riddarholmen, Stockholm, Sweden – 北歐博物館 Nordic Museum 📍Djurgårdsvägen 6–16 | Djurgarden, Stockholm – 斯德哥爾摩市政廳 Stockholms Stadshus 📍 Hantverkargatan 1, Stockholm 112 21, Sweden 在這裡就不詳述啦。 // Taverna Brillo 📍 Sturegatan 6 Humlegaardsgatan 19, Stockholm 114 46 斯德哥爾摩文藝青年聚集地，前面是意大利餐廳、冰淇淋咖啡店，後面是酒吧。等於有三塊區域，放的音樂也各不相同，可以根據心情來選擇。設計是由瑞典室內設計師Jonas Bohlin做的，很多活動的Afterparty會在這里辦。前菜蟹肉烤麵包簡直是此生最愛。雞尾酒也必須推薦。 // Riche 📍 4 Birger Jarlsgatan, Stockholm 114 34 城中非常Classy但卻也非常熱鬧的一家餐廳+酒吧，去的時候有很多人站著在吧台喝酒，都快擠不下了，氣氛很是好。其實Riche早在1893年就有了，歷史算是蠻悠久，餐廳地段也非常好，是正宗的瑞典菜，瑞典肉丸可以一試，非常出名。 對Riche還有一個印象深刻的小細節是，菜單甚至買單時候的小票都非常討喜，大家去的話可以留意一下，非常可愛。 // TAK Restaurant 📍 Brunkebergstorg 4, Stockholm 111 51 坐落在Brunkebergstorg廣場，被權威雜誌Wallpaper*評選為2018新興酒店最佳設計獎。就在我住的酒店隔壁，特別開心去打了卡。風景很棒，菜品是瑞典和日本風味相結合的，蠻神奇的結合。 // At Six 📍 Brunkebergstorg 6,Stockholm 111 51,&nbsp;Sweden // Miss Clara Hotel 📍 Sveavagen 48 | Box 1616, Stockholm 111 34, Sweden 也是坐落在斯德哥爾摩的市中心的Clara Hotel，原本是瑞典最大的女子學校，所以整體設計很與眾不同。每間房間的採光都很不錯，晚上的光線設計也非常棒，拍照驚艷。 // Street Master Samuelsgatan 斯德哥爾摩雖然小，但是也蠻好逛的。我主要推薦Master Samuelsgatan這條街。先從Acne Studios的旗艦店Norrmalmstorg逛起。然後到APLACE，是我無比喜歡的一家品牌集合店，然後有家YellowKorner，專門賣世界上知名攝影師海報畫的店，買回幾幅放家裡是很不錯的選擇，對面還有巨大的Urban Outfitters好逛。如果想買一些家居飾品，生活方式集合店品牌Granit是斯德哥爾摩最具人氣的的家居店之一，被譽為瑞典版的無印良品，總之是收穫頗豐了。 如果時間還充裕，可以去Södermalm看看，人稱嬉皮士樂園。特別多買手店 、咖啡店和餐廳在那邊，這次我們時間有限就沒有去，給下回的斯德哥爾摩之行留個念想吧。 #At Six #Miss Clara Hotel #Riche #Street Master Samuelsgatan #TAK Restaurant #Taverna Brillo #北歐博物館 #打卡國外 #斯德哥爾摩 #斯德哥爾摩公共圖書館 #斯德哥爾摩地鐵 #斯德哥爾摩市政廳 #斯德哥爾摩老城 #波波打卡 #瑞典 #瑞典王宮

With a ram! A ram! A ram for victory! Except when it comes to winning an A from the NYC Health Inspector. or most sports. Fordham University 2020 Pizza is good, but love is it! Buffalo Chicken Wraps from the grill were the only delicious food on campus. No class on Wednesdays meant a definite trip to the Bronx Zoo. 清大工學院畢業，在學時修過工業會計、工程經濟、國際經貿法、精實生產與管理等商學院學分，對財務有基礎背景知識。在高科技創業與營運課程中，曾擔任四人團隊中CFO的角色，計畫商業模式與籌資計畫，模擬公司如何在五年內IPO，並實際跟多位創投公司做簡報經驗。畢業後到新加坡工作半年多，協助新加坡國立大學的研究中心的技術商品化，工作內容是商業獲利模式提案與評估行銷預算。在加入專案的過程中發現對財務會計的興趣，想要深入發展這塊領域。工業工程是了解一家公司如何生產運作，而會計是一家公司的營運結果數據，兩者息息相關。非常希望有在會計事務所工作的機會，未來職涯發展希望可以深入產業，規劃財務計畫。I majored in Industrial Engineering and Engineering Management (IEEM) in National Tsing Hua University (Hsintsu, Taiwan) during 2010-2014 and received my bachelor degree of the science and also finished the interdisciplinary program in innovation Design Engineering. After the college training, I went to Singapore to gain internship experience. As a research assistant now at the Connective Ubiquitous Technology for Embodiments (CUTE) Center in National Singapore University, I conduct user study and redesign of few projects.At Tsing Hua, my learning in Innovation Design Engineering was fruitful with high performance. In product design and development class, I find out that people have become more aware of healthy diet and food allergies nowadays. Therefore, our team aimed to develop utensils that could help analyzing our food and detect the substance. We conducted user studies and reconsidered how to make detectors incorporated into the utensils, such as posting the information to the internet platform to build the feedback system. Potential users could take food safer in their own hands by using our technology.In 2012, I receive the Scholarship for the Taiwan to China summer exchange, and went to Harbin Institute of Technology University. As an independent study, I recorded the customer behaviors and queuing behaviors in the supermarket. From this experience, I learned how the cultural and environmental factors affecting design. The experience affect me most is that I had been to food manufacturing factory in 2013 Lean Production class. I interviewed a machine operator; He had a finger cut off by a machine while using the faulty design. He told me how important the work safety and defensive design are. His words was curved in my mind, I realize that thorough user study and good product design can minimize the negative consequences in the working place.I accessed various companies, APPs development startup and factories to conducted field studies at my college years. I have found that many industries are still using traditional way to run the services when companies conduct market surveys by using telephone interviews and conventional questionnaires to analyze user behaviors. In the entrepreneurship course, I and my three friends try to run a startup company, GivtU. We tried to build an environment or a game which can test the customer behavior by using user friendly interaction, so the client doesn’t have to conduct time-consuming surveys. Furthermore, the decision-makers and designers can get more efficiency and accuracy customer behaviors and preference.To gain practical experience, I worked at CUTE Center at NUS since 2014 summer, I engaged in three programs for searching more about the Interactive Digital Media. I am conducting user study of few projects such as Crowd trails and Digital Taste. Digital Taste enable people to experience taste sensations digitally and arms to promote a healthier lifestyle by replacing unnecessary amount of condiments in our daily consumption. I designed the bottle prototype with function as a hydration. During our showcase at Singapore Art Science Museum, we conducted a larger user. We chose six fixed modes and combinations for testing the participants. From the overall user study results, we may conclude that the prototype is able to improve the drinking experience for a number of users. Applying VC in Singapore now, our challenge is how to customize people taste sensation and create new design for making the simulation more natural.“Not only do the thing right, but also do the right thing” goes one of my favorite sayings.Consequently, I sincerely look forward of the challenge to help fulfill my career plan.https://www.linkedin.com/in/annette-li-an-chiu/

2024 0930 婷婷：抱負Aspiration

2024 0930 婷婷：抱負Aspiration 凡人一枚的我，在自己的人生路上跌跌撞撞得，南牆，可是不陌生，撞了好幾回了，應該留下了不少印記在牆面上。 至於是否血淋淋的，還是撞出個小凹洞，甚至害得牆面也裂痕，這我倒是不確定。 總之，我總是撞得自己頭昏眼花，痛到眼眶紅通，眼淚快要飆出時，覺得丟臉就趕緊轉向別處，不敢再回首。 最近花了些時間思考和決定。 已過了三心兩意，一心多用的年紀，現在的腦袋和心臟只夠專注一件事情，沒法分心。 於是忙了那，塔羅的分享就只能中斷。 可惜不？ 那是一定。 但也沒有他法。人總是要為過去內耗過度付出遲來的代價。 萬幸，人生還有選擇機會。 慶幸，還有時間可以再度分享。 昨天是一位年輕的漂亮媽咪，婷婷。 她說著老公總把她當作三頭六臂的”使喚”著。 其實，我覺她在講這些事情的時候，心中甜蜜多過辛苦，得意多過抱怨的。 可能剛結束中秋家人團圓和朋友歡聚，所以在疲憊的情況下，一開始聊的時後情緒和言詞上是有一點點埋怨。 沒有多久，話鋒就轉變。 分享著老公如何護著她和孩子，公婆家如何依賴她和寵著她的孩子。 她希望能成為老公最有力的後勤部隊，對自己的要求頗高，擔憂自己分身乏術，所以才想找人聊一下。 宇宙送給婷婷的塔羅牌是：【抱負 Aspiration】。 宇宙對於婷婷給予直接的鼓勵與祝福。她為家人的努力，會有很好的成果。去做吧，努力加油。 2024 0930 Ting Ting: Aspiration As a mere mortal, I've stumbled and fallen many times along my life's path. The "wall" of failure is not unfamiliar to me—I've run into it more than a few times, probably leaving many marks on its surface. Whether those marks are bloodstained, small dents, or even cracks in the wall, I can't be certain. All I know is that I always end up dizzy, my eyes red from the pain, on the verge of tears. Yet, just when I feel embarrassed, I quickly turn away, not daring to look back. Recently, I took some time to reflect and make a decision. I am past the age of indecision and multitasking; my mind and heart can now only focus on one thing at a time, unable to be distracted. As a result, I’ve had to pause my tarot card sharing. Is it a pity? Absolutely. But there's no other way. We all have to pay a belated price for the excessive energy we’ve drained in the past. Fortunately, life still offers choices. Thankfully, there’s still time to share once again. Yesterday, I spoke with a young, beautiful mother named Ting Ting. She mentioned how her husband often treats her like she has "three heads and six arms," always ordering her around. Yet, I felt that while she was saying these things, there was more sweetness than hardship in her heart, more pride than complaint. Perhaps the recent family gatherings for the Mid-Autumn Festival left her feeling a bit exhausted, so at first, her tone had a touch of grievance. But soon, the conversation shifted. She began to share how her husband protects her and their child, and how her in-laws rely on her and dote on her child. She hopes to be her husband's most powerful support, holding herself to high standards and worrying that she may not be able to handle it all, which is why she wanted to talk to someone. The Tarot card that the universe sent to Ting Ting was: Aspiration. The universe directly encouraged and blessed Ting Ting. Her efforts for her family will yield great results. Go for it, and keep striving. #DreamCatcher #Alyson #Tarot

2024 0604 今日塔羅：豐收 Harvest

2024 0604 今日塔羅：豐收 Harvest 昨天的你，好嗎？ 我很喜歡昨天的天氣，微涼，有點灰色的天空，襯得車水馬龍的街道不顯得擁擠。 即使有點塞車，心情舒服下也就可靜靜等。 匆忙趕到上課教室。 同學看了我一眼，驚聲大呼說，你是昨夜裡打劫去嗎？眼睛怎麼了？頭髮怎麼了？ 我急喊，別說話，別看著我。請給我兩小時，給你另一個面容。 趕快坐進位置，掩藏起我剛睡醒的水腫臉，睡意惺忪的眼，亂翹不符貼的髮絲。 中午休息時間，雙十年華的女孩說著她想要的未來，家人不支持。 我給了建議，她說沒有說到她的心底裡。 噗哧！慘了，我開始不懂得新一代的年輕孩子了。 可是我好想午睡，就不糾結她的煩惱事情。 不能將她的問題變成是我另一種沉重包袱。 在茶水間跟另一位同學打招呼。 同學找我說他需要聊聊。 我看著我的位置一眼，難道找時間跟我的位置培養上課以外的感情，這樣地困難嗎？ 聽著同學說的事情，忍不住插入建議。 原來，我會因為想做其他事情而想要盡快給出建議或看法，好早點結束話題。 只剩六分鐘的休息時間。 瞇一下好了，我正這樣想著。 趴在桌上，羊圈的柵欄還未升起。 同學問，誰的手機遺忘在洗手間裡。 「我的。」我站起來回覆。 再回到位置後，很好，休息時間只剩一分鐘。 算了！ 罷了！ 休息時間就這樣溜過去了。 下完課後，抓緊時間完成週日課程後的作業，然後晚上繼續坐在電腦桌前聽著線上課程講座。 快結束這樣日夜都是課程，工作日及周末假日都是課程的狀態。 學習，挺充實。 課程，挺多元。 生活，挺繁忙。 今日塔羅牌是『豐收』。 多好啊！ 若能愛情、財富、職位、家庭都得意，人生須盡歡呀。 豐收 ~ 在愛情、情感上，獲得了滋養，幸福感爆棚。 物質上也不缺，感覺是情場、享受都得意。 財運旺旺旺，有投資有豐收。 只是，勿沉溺，勿得意，勿迷戀，勿貪心。 人生有度，才是幸福。 過與不及，都是缺。 Tarot for Today: Harvest How was your day yesterday? I really liked yesterday's weather. It was slightly cool, with a bit of a gray sky, making the bustling streets feel less crowded. Even with a bit of traffic, a good mood can make waiting feel peaceful. Rushing to the classroom. A classmate looked at me and exclaimed, "Did you go robbing last night? What happened to your eyes? Your hair?" I quickly replied, "Don't talk, don't look at me. Give me two hours, and you'll see a different face." I hurried to my seat, hiding my puffy just-awake face, sleepy eyes, and messy hair. During the lunch break, a girl in her twenties talked about her desired future, and how her family doesn't support her. I gave her some advice, but she said it didn't touch her heart. Oops! I realized I might not understand the younger generation anymore. But I really wanted a nap, so I didn't dwell on her troubles. I couldn't let her problems become another heavy burden for me. I greeted another classmate in the tea room. He said he needed to talk. I glanced at my seat, thinking, is it so hard to find time to bond with my seat outside of class? Listening to his issues, I couldn't help but interject with advice. It turns out, I tend to rush to give suggestions or opinions so I can get back to what I want to do sooner. Only six minutes left of the break. I thought about taking a quick nap. Lying on the desk, I hadn't even started to doze off when a classmate asked, "Who left their phone in the restroom?" "It's mine," I replied, standing up. After retrieving it, I found that only one minute of break was left. Forget it! It's gone! The break slipped away just like that. After class, I hurried to finish the homework due for Sunday’s course, then continued with an online lecture in the evening. I'm almost done with this schedule of non-stop courses day and night, weekdays and weekends. Learning is fulfilling. The courses are diverse. Life is busy. Today's Tarot card is "Harvest." How wonderful! If we could achieve success in love, wealth, career, and family, life would be a joyous celebration. Harvest In love and emotions, you receive nourishment, overflowing with happiness. Materially, you lack nothing, feeling satisfied both in romance and enjoyment. Financially, fortune is on your side, with investments bringing bountiful returns. However, do not get carried away, do not be complacent, do not become infatuated, do not be greedy. A balanced life is true happiness. Excess or deficiency, both are flaws. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Harvest

2024 0702 今日塔羅：狂喜 Ecstasy

2024 0702 今日塔羅：狂喜 Ecstasy 昨天閱讀好多身心靈者的臉書分享文，想著，她們好厲害，怎有辦法可以這樣寫？怎有辦法可以有這麼多想法？怎有辦法可以這樣運用？ 回看自己的堅持，過去半年，每次就是一張圖，一小篇文。 沒有抽牌，沒有互動。就是一篇篇共時性的小品。 可，共時性是誰說的？我說的。有證據證明那張塔羅是共時性嗎？還真沒有。 那大家又怎可能認同呢？ 所以單純的請宇宙給予祝福，大家並沒有收到這樣的祝福。 這是多讓我我覺得可惜又遺憾的情況。 一般而言，身心靈工作者不應該展露灰色的情緒，藍色的憂愁，紅色的憤怒給大家看到。 忘了嗎？ 身心靈工作者也是人，是高敏感人，是更容易接收到許許多多複雜訊息的人。 身心靈工作者應該要更努力保守一切，守護好自己的心靈，守護好自己的意志，守護好自己波瀾不經的情緒。 隨著我越來越高頻率地接觸塔羅，與宇宙連結，我就越容易受到月亮陰晴圓缺的影響，我的思緒、文筆一一被牽引著。 我不會演戲，我也無法演戲，沒思緒，沒想法時，就是沒辦法之際。 可，這樣不可以的。 我不只是身心靈工作者，我對於自己之前承諾的年度工作，每個工作日抽一張塔羅牌，寫一篇短文這檔事，得照實完成。 我確實得再好好思考一下，要如何製作每日塔羅的內容。 而今日的塔羅是『狂喜』。 現在的時間是中午時分，今天已過了整整一半的時間。 你好嗎？今天。 是否如宇宙給我的消息 ~ 狂喜。喜悅。開心。快樂。 狂喜 ~ 享受甜美和喜悅。 像輕飄飄地在雲端上玩耍，沒有太多煩憂。 享受當下的快樂。 對財富，對未來，感受到美好的氛圍，是期待，是盼望，是覺得快要成真、實現，迫不及待地開心。 今天的我們，情感很豐沛，會關心身旁的人，會想將身上的積極、樂觀因子分享給旁人，希望大家可以跟我們一樣幸福。 Tarot of the Day: Ecstasy (July 2, 2024) Yesterday, I read many posts shared by those in the spiritual community on Facebook. I wondered, how do they write so well? How do they come up with so many ideas? How can they use their skills so effectively? Looking back at my own persistence, for the past six months, each time I only posted a picture and a short passage. No card drawing, no interaction, just little pieces of synchronicity. But who said they were synchronous? I did. Is there any evidence to prove that the Tarot card is synchronous? There really isn't. So how can everyone agree? Thus, I simply asked the universe to give blessings, but everyone did not receive such blessings. This makes me feel quite regretful and unfortunate. Generally speaking, spiritual workers should not show gray emotions, blue sorrows, or red anger to everyone. Have we forgotten? Spiritual workers are also human beings, highly sensitive individuals who can easily receive many complex messages. They should work harder to protect everything, safeguard their minds, guard their willpower, and maintain their emotions. As I connect more frequently with Tarot and the universe, I become more easily influenced by the phases of the moon. My thoughts and writing are guided by this. I can't pretend; I can't act. When I have no thoughts or ideas, I simply can't write. But, this can't be. I am not just a spiritual worker. I must fulfill my previous commitment to draw a Tarot card every workday and write a short piece about it. I really need to think carefully about how to create daily Tarot content. And today's Tarot card is "Ecstasy." It is now midday, and half of the day has already passed. How are you today? Is it as the universe has conveyed to me ~ ecstasy, joy, happiness, and delight? Ecstasy ~ Enjoying sweetness and joy. Playing lightly on the clouds, without too many worries. Enjoying the happiness of the moment. Feeling a beautiful atmosphere towards wealth and the future, with expectations, hope, and a sense of realization about to come true, eagerly happy. Today, our emotions are abundant. We care about the people around us and want to share our positivity and optimism with others, hoping everyone can be as happy as we are. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Ecstasy

Alyson’s 4/10 Tarot：均衡 Equilibrium (12-57)

Alyson’s 4/10 Tarot：均衡 Equilibrium (12-57) 問題：我4/09的未來日記主題 抽牌：均衡 Equilibrium 今天，感覺蠻忙碌的。 因為心上掛念著今天要上課，在清晨六點多醒來一次，然後就又造成八點多真正需要起床的時間，迷迷糊糊地，無法清醒起床。 這真的是有點傷腦筋。 明天開始要比今天更早起床一個多小時。 天兒呀！ 真的是自己給自己找事情，且會非常忙碌。 今天未來日記是第二週主題「死亡」中的「均衡」。 可，到現在晚上九點鐘，我只感受到學習的比重佔滿了腦袋，導致同樣的時間，卻比其他夜晚更為疲憊。 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/146079133 均衡，是表示情緒是平衡穩定的。 而今天，沒有太多的情緒起伏，雖然面對一些官僚式作法讓我心裡猛搖頭，但尊重，所以沒有顯露任何內心想法。 塔羅牌「均衡」圖案表示 ~ 若情緒卡在憂鬱或悲傷，要像鴨子花盆，漂浮在情緒水域之上，讓心智與身心達到沉靜的狀態，讓悲傷隨著流水，靜靜伴著你，靜靜地划過心海，慢慢地流向心底最深處，慢慢地進入你深處的記憶，存在，但盡量別引起強大衝擊，讓你的情緒起伏震盪，導致好不容易平靜下來的心，再度因此而狂亂。 今天的「未來日記」與塔羅抽牌，沒有連結之處，更無重疊的軌跡。 若硬要連結牽扯在一起，那就是晚上聽著瑞．強德蘭的「水晶骷髏頭」神秘教導的線上課程。 完全聽不懂，跟不上老師所說的，即使有翻譯的緩衝時間，仍很難了解。 但可能因試著聽，所以情緒是平坦無波的。 只有兩眼間的皮膚有著褶皺，因為聽不懂而一直皺眉。 Alyson's 4/10 Tarot: Equilibrium (12-57) Question: The theme of my journal for 4/09 Card drawn: Equilibrium Today feels quite busy. Waking up around six in the morning, feeling the weight of the day's classes ahead, I couldn't fully rouse myself until after eight, feeling groggy and unable to fully awaken. It's a bit of a headache. Starting tomorrow, I'll need to wake up over an hour earlier than today. Oh, boy! Seems like I'm finding ways to keep myself occupied, and it's going to be hectic. Today's journal theme is "Death" from the second week, focusing on "Equilibrium." However, as it nears nine in the evening, my mind feels consumed with studying, leaving me more fatigued than usual at this hour compared to other nights. Equilibrium implies emotional stability. Today, there haven't been many emotional highs or lows. Though faced with bureaucratic procedures that make me shake my head internally, I choose to respect them, thus not expressing any inner thoughts outwardly. The imagery of the Tarot card "Equilibrium" suggests that if emotions linger in sadness or melancholy, one should float like a duck on the emotional waters, achieving a state of calmness in mind and body. Let sadness drift along the currents, silently accompanying you, gently passing through the sea of your heart, slowly flowing into the deepest recesses of your being, existing but trying not to cause a significant impact that would disrupt the calmness you've painstakingly achieved. Today's "journal of the future" and the Tarot draw don't seem to have any connection or overlapping paths. If one were to forcefully link them, it might be the online course by Rue Quandlran on "Crystal Skulls" mysteries that I listened to in the evening. I couldn't understand it at all, struggling to keep up with the teacher's words, even with translation buffering time; comprehension remained elusive. However, perhaps the attempt to listen kept my emotions flat. The only wrinkles were between my brows, a result of my constant frowning due to the lack of understanding. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYurSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Equilibrium

2024 0319 今日塔羅：時空 Time-Space

2024 0319 今日塔羅：時空 Time-Space 「DcreamCatcher-Tarot」是我未來塔羅工作室的英文名字。 工作室的中文名字是「捕夢人」。 每個工作天，我會抽兩張塔羅牌閱讀， 運用閱讀牌卡時的直覺力與洞悉能力， 設計當日的塔羅閱讀心靈記錄卡片，同時也將過程描述成文章。 一張塔羅心靈記錄卡，底色為白色： 這張卡片記錄是，向宇宙呼喊，請宇宙傳遞給大家的祝福或提醒。 一張塔羅心靈記錄卡，底色為黑色： 這卡片記錄的是向宇宙提問後，根據抽到的塔羅進行閱讀的記錄。 "DreamCatcher-Tarot" is the English name for my future Tarot studio. The studio's Chinese name is "捕夢人". Every workday, I will draw two Tarot cards for readings, utilizing my intuition and insight while interpreting the cards. I will design Tarot reading soul record cards for the day and describe the process in articles. One Tarot soul record card, with a white background, records calling out to the universe, conveying blessings or reminders to everyone. One Tarot soul record card, with a black background, records the reading based on the Tarot drawn after asking questions to the universe. 2024 0319 今日塔羅：時空 Time-Space https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/143812162 金剛經： 『過去心不可得， 現在心不可得， 未來心不可得。』 現在，是過去的未來，是未來的過去。 物理學家愛因斯坦指出，『時間是相對的，如同左右方向一樣，時間只有相對的意義，以不同速度運動的觀測者時間亦不一樣。宇宙中沒有一個絕對的時鐘。』 時間旅行可能已經發生了。 時空旅人可能是存在的。 過去的我們、未來的我們與現在的我們可能在某一瞬間，曾經同時存在於同一空間，只是都不知道而已。 過去、現在、未來，三者之間看似像個直線前進的時間刻表。 我腦海裡浮現著一張圖， ”過去、現在、未來，三者獨立的三度空間，人生中發生的各事件是中心點，泛著漣漪，擴散了出去，有些力度小，沒造成影響，力度大的，影響了未來，甚至在不自覺中也影響到過去。” 也許人類會有那麼多的思緒且複雜，就是如此產生的。 漣漪的互相撞擊，衝擊力產生了七情六慾。 所以，人，很難是平靜下來的。 即使睡覺，仍是不停思考，運轉不停。 “時空”這張塔羅牌，主要提醒我們，現在面臨的一些坎，是過去犯了錯，或草率處理，將當時應發酵的事情延伸至今。 既然發作了，那就好好面對，好好處理。 別再讓現在的果，造成日後又要收拾殘局的因。 別輕忽，檢視、反省、調整與修正的重要。 曾子曰：「吾日三省吾身，為人謀而不忠乎？與朋友交而不信乎？傳不習乎？」是有其真意與道理存在的。 The Diamond Sutra states: "Past mind cannot be grasped, Present mind cannot be grasped, Future mind cannot be grasped." Now is the future of the past and the past of the future. Physicist Albert Einstein pointed out, "Time is relative, just like left and right directions. Time only has relative significance, and observers moving at different speeds experience time differently. There is no absolute clock in the universe." Time travel might have already occurred. Time travelers might exist. Our past selves, future selves, and present selves might have existed simultaneously at some point in time and space, only unaware of each other. The past, present, and future seem to form a linear timeline. In my mind, there arises an image: "The past, present, and future are independent three-dimensional spaces. Events in life are like central points, emitting ripples that spread out. Some ripples are weak and have no impact, while others, with greater force, affect the future, and sometimes even unconsciously influence the past." Perhaps the complexity and multitude of human thoughts arise from this. The collision of ripples generates emotional turmoil, causing the seven emotions and six desires. Therefore, it's difficult for humans to remain calm. Even during sleep, the mind continues to churn, never ceasing. The "Space-Time" tarot card primarily reminds us that some of the challenges we face now stem from past mistakes or hasty decisions that have extended their repercussions to the present. Since they have occurred, it's essential to face them and handle them properly. Don't let the consequences of the present create more messes to clean up in the future. Don't underestimate the importance of examining, reflecting, adjusting, and correcting. As Confucius said, "I daily examine myself on three points: whether in counseling others I have not been loyal; whether in intercourse with friends I have not been sincere; whether I have not repeated to others what I have heard."

2024 0426 今日塔羅：慈悲 Compassion 你是嚴格對待自己的人嗎？ 你是嚴肅要求他人的人嗎？ 你是凡事都認真看待的人嗎？ 你是每句話都在心裡牢牢記著的人嗎？ 當你沒達到自己設定的目標時，你有什麼感受？第一個冒出來的心情是哪一種？是否會分析失敗的原因？這樣的失敗又讓你如何看待自己？ 生自己的氣？ 對自己感到失望？ 當這麼多的負面情緒與想法在腦袋裡亂竄的時候，是否曾有過一絲絲的溫柔閃過？是否曾有想告訴自己一些體己話，「你做得很棒」，「你已盡了最大的努力」。 慈悲，我們會給予長者，給予弱者，給予父母，給予小孩，給予朋友。 慈悲，我們最常忘記給予自己。 在過去拼命的工作生涯中，當有臨時狀況發生的時候，我常會苛責自己，覺得自己能力太差，思慮粗糙，沒有事先設想好可能會發生的所有情況。 於是，在每次的專案活動結束後，我總是將剛結束的相關資料再翻閱一次，並將下次可注意的事情寫完整。 然後，在電腦資料夾裡預設一個下次類似專案的資料夾，裡面存放著我現在對於未來一年後類似活動的預設計劃草稿。 可能就是因為如此在那幾年裡我的身體每半年崩垮掉一次，每次需長達一週以上的時間才能慢慢恢復。 這幾天的身體和心理狀況，很是糟糕，無法進食，連藥粉或者是藥水，身體都會自主排斥的無法吞嚥，還會因過度抗拒而吐，體力更是無法支撐，只能昏睡。 多年後，我放過自己，離開了那個高壓的工作環境。 之前的嚴重內耗，身體反撲得厲害。 需付出的代價，直到今日仍未還清。 苦不堪言，也只能自己承受。 這真是自作虐，就難活的清爽自在。 看著身邊的朋友們，好多人對自己的要求始終都很高。 小說寫著霸道總裁總是很高、很帥、很冷漠，不管是哪項都是”很”這個最高等級。 現實生活中，在職場上，靠著自己拚到一個位置的人，都是很認真、很賣命、很勞碌，也是哪項都是”很”這個等級。 還會被要求高情商、高度協調、高度配合、高度抗壓、高度耐操。 看著社會上那麼多人拚著命，賣著健康的努力，也沒什麼事發生，自己也會是那個幸運兒吧。 可，誰又能保證誰不會是那個”萬中選一”的呢？ 在你的心中，你認為「慈悲」是什麼？ 你如何看待「慈悲」？ 在悲傷的時刻，還能惦記到別人的好，這是共情，是體貼，也是一種慈悲。 倘若在憤怒之際，怒火要噴天時，突然想到對方過去的貼心和彼此間曾有過的笑容，瞬間冷靜下來了，我覺這是一種對他人和對自己的慈悲。 我覺得若眼前的人是曾經欺侮過你，辜負過你的人，懇求你的協助和放下昔日的糾葛，而你，放下了，也放過了，這不只是慈悲；若用這幾年的網路小說用詞，這是聖母神佛層級的大愛，我自認為做不到。 領航者塔羅對於『慈悲』這張牌是這樣認為的 ~ 在愛的世界裡，你是善於為愛注入溫暖和祥和能量的，有你在的場子，大家都會感受到和樂和喜悅。 總是有強大的共情力和同理心，在你的心中及懷抱裡，總是有更多的諒解與更多的寬容。 慈悲有著一隻黃金佛手印，這手印賦予著抽到牌的人，運用慈愛、療癒力及安定力量，去協助與療癒跟你請求指引的人。 因為心懷慈悲，心胸寬大，財運總是會跟隨著善良的人。 財富，範圍不是只有金錢與俗稱的財產，還有許多非具體或實際的。 常有機緣與陌生之人有場愉快的邂垢，就是一種美好的財富。 佛教認為「慈悲」是複合詞，由四無量心的「慈」與「悲」合成，其意義相近。 在網路上看到一位佛教宗師對於「慈悲」的講解，與我內心的以為很是貼近。 「慈悲，原是佛教用語，拆開來看，「慈」是把快樂給人，「悲」是拔一切眾生苦。眾生有苦，我們幫助他解決，帶給他快樂，這個心就叫「慈悲心」。金菩提宗師教導大家：「真正的慈悲就是特別的愛，就像母親呵護孩子一樣的精神特質，包含關懷、包容、真誠、愛心，還有一顆善解人意之心。」慈悲所產生的愛是非常廣博的，他對所有生命都心懷慈悲，從自然界中的山川、河流、鮮花、動物，到任何需要幫助的人，都具有一種憐憫、慈悲之心。」 基督教 「慈悲是讓一個人得到比他應得的還更寬容的對待。 透過耶穌基督的贖罪，才可能有慈悲。 我們的天父知道我們有弱點和罪。 祂寬恕我們的罪，幫助我們回去與祂同住，這就是慈悲的表現。」 不管是哪一種信仰，或是沒有任何信仰。 我覺「慈悲」，是從小我，小愛出發，懂得愛自己的人，不須提醒，自然能夠覺察到別人的用心和難處，會因理解、體諒而溫柔。 慈悲就如同”善”，像漣漪一圈一圈擴散了出去，永不停歇。 資料來源：金菩提宗師 https://www.jinbodhi.org/79729/ Today's Tarot: Compassion Are you someone who holds yourself to strict standards? Are you demanding of others? Do you take everything seriously? Do you hold onto every word spoken? When you don't reach your set goals, how do you feel? What's the first emotion that surfaces? Do you analyze the reasons for failure? How does such failure make you see yourself? Do you get angry with yourself? Do you feel disappointed? Amidst the chaos of so many negative emotions and thoughts swirling in your mind, have you ever felt a hint of tenderness? Have you ever wanted to tell yourself some comforting words like "You did great" or "You've done your best"? Compassion, we give it to elders, to the weak, to parents, to children, to friends. Compassion, the one we often forget to give to ourselves. During my years of relentless work, whenever unexpected situations arose, I often blamed myself, feeling inadequate and poorly prepared, failing to anticipate all possible scenarios. So, after every project, I would review the relevant materials and jot down things to pay attention to next time. Then, I would create a folder in my computer for similar future projects, storing drafts of plans for activities similar to what I had just finished. Perhaps because of this, my body collapsed every six months during those years, taking over a week each time to slowly recover. These past few days, my physical and mental condition has been terrible, unable to eat, unable to swallow even powdered medicine or liquid without my body rejecting it, even vomiting due to excessive resistance, and my strength unable to sustain me, only able to fall into a deep sleep. Years later, I forgave myself and left that high-pressure work environment. The severe internal strain from before led to a strong backlash from my body. The price to pay, still not fully settled until today. It's unbearable, but I have to endure it myself. It's truly self-inflicted suffering, making it difficult to live comfortably and freely. Looking at my friends around me, so many of them have high demands on themselves. Novels depict dominant CEOs as tall, handsome, and aloof, everything being "very" to the highest degree. In real life, those who rise through the ranks in the workplace through their own efforts are very serious, hardworking, and diligent, also embodying "very" in every aspect. They are also expected to have high emotional intelligence, high coordination ability, high cooperation, high resistance to pressure, and high endurance. Seeing so many people in society striving and sacrificing their health without much happening, could I also be one of the lucky ones? But who can guarantee that one won't be the "one in a million"? In your heart, what do you think "compassion" is? How do you view "compassion"? In moments of sadness, being able to remember the good in others is empathy, thoughtfulness, and also a form of compassion. If in anger, when the flames are about to erupt, suddenly remembering the intimacy of the past and the smiles shared, instantly calming down, I think this is a form of compassion for both others and oneself. If the person in front of you is someone who has once mistreated you, disappointed you, and now seeks your help and forgiveness, and you, being able to let go and forgive, this is not just compassion; in terms of the internet novels of recent years, this is a level of great love akin to a saint or a deity, something I believe I couldn't achieve. According to the Navigator Tarot, this card "Compassion" is seen as follows ~ In the world of love, you are adept at infusing warmth and peaceful energy into love. Wherever you are, everyone will feel joy and happiness. You always possess strong empathy and compassion. In your heart and arms, there is always more understanding and tolerance. Compassion bears a golden Buddha's palm imprint. This imprint endows the one drawing the card with the ability to use love, healing, and stabilizing power to assist and heal those who seek guidance from you. Because of compassion and generosity, wealth always follows the kind-hearted. Wealth, its scope is not limited to just money and material possessions, there are also many intangible or abstract forms. There are often opportunities to have pleasant encounters with strangers, which is a kind of beautiful wealth. In Buddhism, "compassion" is a compound word, composed of the "loving-kindness" (maitri) and "compassion" (karuna) of the Four Immeasurables, with similar meanings. I saw an explanation of "compassion" by a Buddhist master on the internet, which resonated deeply with my inner thoughts. He said: "Compassion, originally a Buddhist term, when broken down, 'loving-kindness' is giving happiness to others, and 'compassion' is alleviating the suffering of all beings. When beings suffer, we help them solve their problems and bring them happiness. This heart is called 'compassionate.' Master Jin Bodhi teaches us: 'True compassion is a special kind of love, like the spirit of a mother caring for her child, including caring, tolerance, sincerity, love, and understanding of others.' The love generated by compassion is very extensive, with compassion for all life, from the mountains and rivers of the natural world, to flowers, animals, and any people in need, having a heart of compassion and mercy." In Christianity, "Compassion" is treating someone more leniently than they deserve. Compassion is only possible through the atonement of Jesus Christ. Our Father knows our weaknesses and sins. He forgives our sins and helps us return to dwell with Him, which is the expression of compassion. Regardless of the faith, or lack thereof, I believe "compassion" starts from loving oneself and understanding oneself, without needing reminders, naturally able to perceive others' intentions and difficulties, responding with gentleness due to understanding and empathy. Compassion is like "goodness," spreading out like ripples, never ceasing. #DreamCatcherTarot #Tarot #DCTarotreader #Tarotcards #BeYuSelfBOSS #BlessedDream #Alyson #Compassion

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：皇后 Empress

Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot：皇后 Empress 讓我熱淚盈眶，讓我溫暖力量滿胸膛 讓我謙卑跪下，讓我平靜祥和又安康 焚香，仰頭，靜心，凝視 向您呼喚，不敢高喊 您沉默，您不理 您低眉看似俯瞰紅塵，也許看人們的前世今生 只要您在哪，那兒就是我的家，我歸屬的地方 https://dcalyson0110.pixnet.net/blog/post/145031173 生日快樂！觀世音菩薩 觀世音菩薩的聖誕日，我前往林口竹林山觀音寺幫觀音菩薩慶生，祝賀她的生日。 乾媽 ~ 我是神明的孩子 小時候非常羨慕哥哥和弟弟都有乾媽，我卻沒有。 曾問過媽媽，為何我沒有。 爸媽說，因為我小時候非常愛哭，又愛跟弟弟吵架，沒有大人喜歡我，沒有人想當我的乾爸或乾媽。 我在夜裡哭泣。 我覺得我很棒的呀！ 我太小了，不管是哭泣，或是因太愛哭被媽媽抱在懷裡睡覺的記憶。 羨慕現在的孩子，父母將他們成長，紀錄在相機裡，電腦裡，還有影片裡。 最後，觀世音菩薩成為了我的乾媽。 在我們的文化裡，許多與神明有緣分的孩子，會認神明做乾爸或乾媽。 我們是神明的孩子。 慶生 那天，我比原先預期的晚半個小時起床。 以前長輩和朋友們的睡眠是隨著年齡增長而遞減，我連這點都與眾不同，現在年紀多了，睡眠時間更長了。 沒有睡飽，無法清醒，頭會痛。 所以即使神識有點舒醒，但眼睛張不開，腦子無法運轉時，我就會繼續貪睡一下。 準備了水果，擺放在好看的竹籃裡，到時候就提著進廟裡，直接放在供桌就可以。 記得家裡在這樣的日子，媽媽會事先去買紅龜粿或壽桃這類中式糕點給神明慶生。 我想著自己愛吃的是蛋糕，於是就準備蛋糕。 直覺力 晚起，當天所有的時間都需往後延。 賴床時，腦海中曾閃過一個思緒，非常短暫，快得沒能抓住那訊息。 直到進入蛋糕店，聽著店家跟排在我前面的那位客人說，小型蛋糕已售完的話語，這時，早上沒能抓到的訊息，馬上連結到腦海，並清晰有了畫面與現在眼前發生的場景一樣。 我的直覺力慢慢得回來了，經過我散漫了六、七百天後，感動。 是觀世音菩薩和眾神明的庇佑。 祈禱與祝賀 取了六根香，在廟的右邊側門裡面有點香檯。 高舉點燃的香，然後從右邊側門走出。 走至天空爐前，頂禮，祈禱念詞，三拜。 將三根香插入廟大門正前方的香爐裡。 後退，頂禮，三拜。 從廟的左邊側門進入廟宇裡。 站在中心排，面向前方的神明佛像。 頂禮，祈禱念詞，三拜。 將手上還有的三根香插入前方香爐裡。 後退，雙掌合起，三拜。 從十幾年前，我前來廟宇，除了特別的三次以外，皆無任何的祈求。 第一次是請求指引工作選擇。 第二次是爸爸住院病危通知。 第三次是拜託照護奶奶爸媽。 今日目的是慶生，當然就是祝福生日快樂，然後國家安康。 小幸運，也是小福報 停車位 當我車子快接近廟宇附近的停車場時，前方塞車了。 將車子右轉，打算繞一圈，到後面馬路的停車格。 轉了一圈後，注意到原塞車的路口已無車，那就試試看，也許有比較近的停車位。 過了紅綠燈，馬上，右前方就有個停車格，還是最後一個。 就這樣輕易且順利將車停好。 供品位 進入廟宇，非常多人，供桌上滿滿的供品。 尋思要找空位擺放水果和蛋糕，走到白虎邊的第二排桌子，剛好看到有香客在收他們的供品。 超級幸運的呀！ 請他們慢慢來，我可以等一下時間的，沒關係的。 在這樣神聖的日子，許多人都面帶微笑與欣喜心前來。 我的竹籃和蛋糕盒，都是方型且盒子狀，可以疊起來擺放。 在這樣隆重日子，神明不會跟信徒、香客計較東西擺放是否有端正。 結緣品 第一次注意廟裡的活動情況，以前總是只有拜拜，沒有留意其他。 廟宇中間，出家師父們帶領信眾唱誦佛經。 正想往那裏靠近，突然聽到物品撒落的聲音，我趕緊前往協助撿拾。 以為是某信眾的供品，撿起來後才知道是中間師父們丟出來要送給有緣粉的信眾們的糖果。 我很幸運，撿到了兩顆。 在我不懂的情況下，不同的糖果繼續發送。 站在第一線的一位姐姐，突然轉身，將她手指攤開說，歡迎結緣，分享她掌中的糖果。 我拿了她的糖果，並用我撿到的另一種，送給這位姐姐，祝福她。 糖果繼續分送著。 我覺我有拿到兩種，已是非常幸運的事情，不須每一種都要拿到，更不須要拿到很多。 有好多人受到觀世音菩薩的協助，發送著還願品，跟大眾結善緣。 還有大悲咒水，經過觀世音菩薩的加持，回家加入飲用水，從身體內部，每一細胞都有著佛經的保護。 祈禱位 觀音菩薩聖誕日，廟宇的委員會請了師父前來唱誦佛經。 關於佛經，對我們來說很有距離，裡頭全是看不懂的梵文意思。 就如同基督教有讀聖經班，佛經也有讀經班，讓想要了解的人有機會可以研讀。 外圍發放著糖果餅乾，中間的唱誦佛經持續著，我站在一旁跟著頂禮，膜拜。 隨著師父唱誦的聲調，我的身體很輕鬆得輕微舞動。 那是讓我很沉浸的音律。 看到一位長輩也想頂禮膜拜，我側了身，讓她可以更為靠近一些。 我想，這也是一種志同道合吧。 在這樣近的距離，我與觀世音菩薩金身在同一個小空間裡，隨著唱誦聲音的流淌，我的心思只有佛經，只有當下。我的心中，溫柔燦燦。 回家 ~ 溫暖的溫柔 儀式告一段落。 觀世音菩薩的金身需要回到大殿之中。 這是第一次看到竹林山觀音寺觀世音菩薩的金身。 小小的，黑黑的，應是被長年鼎盛香火燻的。 原本想拿起手機拍攝或錄影。 在發現菩薩金身應該會經過身邊時，我一心只想好好看看菩薩，只想感受當下。 菩薩金身被人抱著朝我邊前進，我用右手跟觀音菩薩金身打招呼，輕聲對她說，『觀音菩薩，生日快樂。』 在菩薩金身從我眼前經過時，我瞬間熱淚盈眶，站在原地久久無法移身。 像是被光溫暖包裹著，擁抱著。 我像是被乾媽抱在懷中，她溫柔的撫慰我。 我在心中對觀世音菩薩說，我回來了。乾媽。 咖啡味 竹林寺大門旁的停車場邊邊開了一家小小咖啡廳。 一位年輕男孩的創業，裡面位置不多，也沒有洗手間。 我喜歡這地方的可愛，和老闆的親切。 詢問了併桌，獲得對方親和的回應。 老闆還記得我，我們聊了農曆春節他與廟宇如此近的距離，他的所見，所聞，所感，所想。 有時我們都需要像是朋友，可互相聊聊的人。 不熟悉但認識，這樣的淡淡，很好。 後記 離開了廟宇，將蛋糕分享給哥哥嫂嫂，分享給社區守衛和打掃大姊。 吃觀世音菩薩加持過的蛋糕，大家都平安，都沾染到溫暖的光。 回到自己的家中，想將慶生寫下紀錄，也想知道當觀世音菩薩經過我身旁時，她跟我說了什麼，讓我的高靈感動到情緒無法控制，即使過了一些時間，跟哥哥分享時，依然是想流淚，依然馬上紅眼眶。 塔羅抽到了『皇后Empress』。 我又哭了。 是媽媽。 張開雙手，等著我撲上前，抱著我。 是媽媽。 滋養孕育，等著我撲上前，餵飽我。 是媽媽。 溫暖守候，等著我撲上前，撫慰我。 是媽媽。 安慰支持，等著我撲上前，誇獎我。 是媽媽。 林口竹林山觀音寺： https://www.zlskyt.com.tw/ 紅龜粿： https://zh.wikipedia.org/zh-tw/%E7%B4%85%E9%BE%9C%E7%B2%BF 壽桃： https://www.klintainan.com/Goods/92 Alyson’s 3/31 Tarot: Empress Let my eyes brim with tears, let warm strength fill my chest, Let me kneel in humility, let me be serene, peaceful, and healthy, Burning incense, looking up, quieting my mind, gazing, Calling out to you, not daring to shout, You remain silent, you don't respond, With lowered brows, seemingly overlooking the mortal world, perhaps seeing people's past lives and present, As long as you are there, that's my home, the place I belong. Happy Birthday! Guanyin Bodhisattva On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I went to the Guanyin Temple in Linkou Zhulin Mountain to celebrate her birthday and offer my congratulations. Godmother ~ I Am a Child of the Deities When I was young, I envied my brothers for having godmothers while I didn't. I once asked my mother why. My parents said it was because I used to cry a lot and argue with my younger brother, and no adults liked me or wanted to be my godparents. I cried myself to sleep at night. I thought I was great! I was too young to remember whether it was crying or being cuddled to sleep by my mother because I cried too much. I envied today's children, whose parents record their growth in cameras, computers, and videos. Finally, Guanyin Bodhisattva became my godmother. In our culture, many children who are destined to have connections with deities recognize them as godparents. We are children of the deities. Celebration That day, I woke up half an hour later than I originally planned. In the past, the sleep of elders and friends decreased with age, but I was different. As I grew older, I slept longer. Without enough sleep, I couldn't stay awake, and my head would ache. So even if my consciousness was somewhat awake, if I couldn't open my eyes or my brain couldn't function, I would continue to indulge in sleep. I prepared fruits and arranged them in a beautiful bamboo basket to take them into the temple and place them directly on the altar when the time came. I remember that on such days, my mother would buy traditional Chinese pastries like red turtle cakes or longevity peaches to celebrate the deities' birthdays. Since I loved cakes, I decided to prepare a cake. Intuition Waking up late meant that everything for the day would be delayed. While lying in bed, a fleeting thought crossed my mind, so brief that I couldn't grasp the message. It wasn't until I entered the cake shop and heard the shopkeeper telling the customer in front of me that the small cakes were sold out that the morning's missed message instantly connected in my mind, vividly matching the scene happening before me. My intuition was slowly returning, which moved me after my absent-mindedness for six or seven hundred days. It was the blessing of Guanyin Bodhisattva and the other deities. Prayer and Blessing I took six incense sticks. Inside the temple's right side door was an incense table. I raised the lit incense and walked out from the right side door. I walked to the sky furnace, paid respects, recited prayers, and bowed three times. Then, I inserted three incense sticks into the incense burner directly in front of the temple door. I stepped back, paid respects, and bowed three times. I entered the temple from the left side door. Standing in the center row facing the deity's statue in front, I paid respects, recited prayers, and bowed three times. Then, I inserted the remaining three incense sticks into the incense burner in front. I stepped back, clasped my hands together, and bowed three times. Since ten years ago, when I came to the temple, except for three special occasions, I had no requests during my visits. The first time was to seek guidance on job choices. The second time was when my father was hospitalized and critically ill. The third time was to ask for care for my grandparents. Today's purpose was to celebrate, of course, to wish for a happy birthday and the well-being of the country. Small Fortunes, Small Blessings Parking Space As my car approached the temple's parking lot, there was traffic ahead. I turned right, planning to go around and park in the parking spaces on the street behind. After making a circle, I noticed that the intersection where there was traffic before was now clear. So, I decided to try my luck and see if there was a closer parking space. After passing the traffic light, there was immediately a parking space on the right side, and it was the last one. So, I easily and smoothly parked my car. Offerings Entering the temple, there were many people, and the offering tables were full. I wondered where to find space to place the fruits and cake. I walked to the second row of tables on the side of the White Tiger and happened to see worshippers collecting their offerings. Super lucky! I asked them to take their time as I could wait. On such a sacred day, many people came with smiles and joy. My bamboo basket and cake box were both square and box-shaped, so they could be stacked and placed. On such an important day, the deities wouldn't mind how neatly offerings were placed by the worshippers and visitors. Bonds It was the first time I paid attention to the activities in the temple. Before, I only prayed without paying attention to anything else. In the middle of the temple, the ordained masters led the worshippers in chanting sutras. Just as I was about to approach them, I suddenly heard the sound of items being scattered. I hurried over to help pick them up, thinking they were offerings from worshippers. Only after picking them up did I realize they were candies thrown by the masters in the middle to be given to worshippers who were destined to receive them. I was very lucky to pick up two. Without understanding why, different candies continued to be distributed. A sister standing in the front suddenly turned around, opened her hand, and welcomed me to share the candies in her palm. I took her candy and gave her the other one I picked up, wishing her well. The candies continued to be distributed. I felt lucky to have picked up two kinds, which was already a very fortunate thing. There was no need to have every kind or to have many. Many people received help from Guanyin Bodhisattva, offering their gratitude and forming good karma with others. There was also the water blessed with the Great Compassion Mantra, which, when consumed at home, protected every cell of the body with the sutras. Prayer Space On the birthday of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the temple committee invited masters to chant sutras. The sutras were distant to us, filled with Sanskrit meanings we couldn't understand. Just as Christianity has Bible study classes, there are also sutra study classes for those who wish to understand. Candies and cookies were distributed on the periphery, while the chanting of sutras continued in the middle. I stood aside, paying respects and worshiping along. With the tones of the master's chanting, my body relaxed slightly, swaying gently. It was a melody that immersed me deeply. Seeing an elder wanting to pay respects, I stepped aside to let her get closer. I thought, this is also a kind of mutual understanding. At such a close distance, I and the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva were in the same small space. Flowing with the chanting, my mind was filled only with the sutras, only with the present moment. My heart was warm and radiant. Going Home ~ Warm Gentleness The ceremony came to a close. The golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva needed to return to the main hall. It was the first time I had seen the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva at the Zhulin Mountain Guanyin Temple. It was small and dark, likely imbued with the incense smoke of many years. I had initially thought of taking out my phone to capture or record it. However, when I realized that the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva would pass by me, I focused solely on observing her, just wanting to feel the present moment. As the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva was carried towards me, I greeted her with my right hand and softly said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva, happy birthday." As the golden statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva passed by me, tears welled up in my eyes instantly, and I stood there unable to move for a long time. It felt like being enveloped in warm light, embraced. It was as if I were being hugged by my godmother, her gentle comfort soothing me. In my heart, I said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "I'm back, godmother." Coffee Flavor Next to the parking lot by the gate of the Zhulin Temple, there was a small coffee shop. It was started by a young man, with limited seating and no restroom. I liked the quaintness of this place and the friendliness of the owner. I asked to share a table and received a friendly response. The owner remembered me, and we talked about the proximity of the Lunar New Year to the temple, sharing perspectives and experiences. Sometimes, we all need someone to chat with, even if we're not familiar but acquainted. Such light connections are nice. Afterthought Leaving the temple, I shared the cake with my brother, sister-in-law, community guards, and the cleaning lady. Eating the cake blessed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, everyone was safe and bathed in warm light. Back at home, I wanted to write down the celebration and also find out what Guanyin Bodhisattva said to me as she passed by, which moved me to uncontrollable emotions. Even after some time had passed, I still felt like crying when I shared it with my brother, with tears in my eyes. I drew the Tarot card "Empress" again. And I cried. It was my mother. With open arms, waiting for me to rush into them, embracing me. It was my mother. Nurturing and feeding me, waiting for me to come to her. It was my mother. Warmly waiting, ready to comfort me when I rush to her. It was my mother. Offering solace and support, waiting for me to approach, ready to praise me. It was my mother.

Experience the German Christmas Market in Taipei！

As 2023 is slowly coming to an end, the festive atmosphere of Christmas becomes increasingly vibrant. For the fourth consecutive year, the German Trade Office Taipei (GTO) is hosting the "German Christmas Market" in Taiwan, officially opening today at the Yuanshan Expo Park. Setting a record with 85 booths this year, the mar-ket features not only classic German sausages and Stollen, but also essential Christmas market delights such as mulled wine. Attendees can enjoy a variety of European cuisines, food trucks, a diverse range of German products, and family-friendly activities. Of course, the event wouldn't be complete without a visit from Santa Claus, bringing an authentic German flavor to the people of Taiwan. Mr. Axel Limberg, Executive Director of the GTO, stats at the press conference, "The GTO aims not only to pro-mote and enhance Taiwan-Germany bilateral economic and trade relations but also to bring Germany's most beloved traditional Christmas market to Taiwan. We hope that through German tradition and cultural activi-ties, Taiwanese people can get to know Germany. This festive market intertwines the social, cultural, and eco-nomic activities of Taiwan and Germany, fostering mutual understanding and contributing to future economic cooperation." This year, Audi Taiwan, partnering the event for the first time, was represented by Rahil Ansari, Managing Di-rector of Audi Taiwan. He expressed his excitement, stating, "It is our pleasure to join this year's Christmas market. Through this event, we hope Taiwanese people not only learn about Germany's traditional culture but also experience the endless charm of German products." At this Christmas market, Audi Taiwan will showcase Audi RS6 Avant performance and BEV flagship Q8 e-tron. Visitors can receive a cup of mulled wine or limited gifts by taking photos and checking in using Audi's exclusive Christmas camera filter. Infineon, the leading semiconductor company headquartered in Munich, Germany, with its corporate vision of " Driving decarbonization and digitalization. Together.” is delighted to introduce its first Christmas eco-friendly booth this year. Chee-How Tan, Managing Director of Infineon Taiwan, said in his speech, “Christmas is an im-portant holiday for spending time with friends and family in Germany. We welcome everyone to our Infineon booth to join the interactive game 'Pedaling towards a Greener Future', to get to know Infineon and together, we can make our lives easier, safer, and greener." Visitors can simply check in at the booth, complete the game, and enjoy the exclusive Christmas painting experiences along with small gifts. Additionally, China Airlines, with direct flights from Taipei to Frankfurt, Germany, has designed its booth in the shape of a gingerbread house. Through the hotwire game introducing six major European destinations, par-ticipants can win travel agency discount coupons, popcorn, model airplanes, and various gifts from the cap-sule toy machine. A 5-meter-tall Christmas tree, lit up against the night sky at the Expo Park, is the centerpiece of this year's Ger-man Christmas Market Taipei, creating a simple and elegant festive atmosphere with ribbon decorations. Sur-rounding the tree are various German food stalls, including the classic German grilled sausage (Bratwurst), best enjoyed with specially made bread and topped with ketchup or mustard. Additionally, the Christmas market staple, Stollen, originating 600 years ago in Dresden, Germany, is showcased. The tradition of reserving the first slice of Stollen ensures that families have enough food for the coming year, similar to the Chinese tradition of wishing for abundance every year. December in Germany is often covered in white snow, and the Christmas market wouldn't be complete without a warming drink – mulled wine (Glühwein), made with cinnamon, star anise, cloves, orange, and other ingredi-ents. For those seeking an adult version, there's the upgraded version of mulled wine: Feuerzangenbowle.
