《聖者的哲學﹣巴巴薩萬辛》第一章　禪修

　第二節　坐姿

我們首先考慮哪種坐姿最易於將靈體之流帶回“眼中心”和得到定止；此種坐姿也應該同樣適應於小孩、青壯和老年人。

在開始靈修之前我們必須心智清醒，這是很重要的。行者應洗一個澡來驅除困倦與懶惰。若情況不允，行者最少應該洗手、腳和臉，然後盤腿而坐。

背部要直，但不可僵硬或鬆懈；脊椎必須要挺直；坐的地方應是硬的平面；行者不應背靠牆或椅子；應注意不要掉進昏沉或睡眠；如果準備做一個長時間的打坐，行者便可以用一個背靠。

無論行者採用何種坐姿以作靈修，此種坐姿切不可造成身體的不安。採用的坐姿，應能便利行者忘記身體的存在。

聖者們都是採用一個容易而自然的坐姿。聖者們採用的坐姿，能令靈體之流從色身的九個孔中退回到二眉之間──此處是靈體的總部。

利用這個坐姿，能獲得很好的靈修成果。雖然我們的靈體之流從身體九孔中流散於世間事物，由此得以收集於眼中心而上升。我們的靈魂因而得以在第十扇門中接觸到“名”（nam）或“真理”。

最後，我們的靈魂到達sach Khand，於此處自我、我執、貪念、慾望和肉慾都離開，生死苦輪亦已停止。

FW:韓森關於甲烷的說法：（轉寄分享）

傑姆斯漢森(James Hansen)美國太空總署戈達德太空研究院主任，擁有「全球暖化論始祖」的封號。

他長期支援抗暖化行動，其理論曾被高爾及環保組織所引用。

他的結論受到全球暖化專家們的普遍採納，包括聯合國政府間氣候變遷小組第二工作團聯合主席傑姆斯麥克卡西(James McCarthy )博士在內。

由於全球人為所致的暖化現象，幾乎有一半是甲烷排放所造成，因此，減少甲烷排量應是當務之急。
 
廢氣排放的主要來源是汽車和發電廠—其同時也會產生氣膠(Aerosol)微粒。

氣膠事實上具有可以冷卻全球氣溫的成分，而其大量的冷卻作用，差不多可以抵銷二氧化碳的暖化效應。

出人異料之外的結果是：二氧化碳排放源對全球氣溫的影響，在近期內將會被調整為趨近於零。

且人類行為製造的二氧化碳僅佔3%但甲烷卻佔71% 。
 
很遺憾地，很多政府所投注的焦點，只放在減少二氧化碳的排放方面，這是很嚴重的誤判。

某些氣體（甲烷）與噴霧劑（氣膠）交互作用下衝高暖化潛在能力
Interactions with Aerosols Boost Warming Potential of Some Gases
October 29, 2009 by Adam Voiland

This map shows the distribution of methane at the surface. New research shows that methane has an elevated warming effect due to its interactions with other substances in the atmosphere. Credit: NASA/Goddard 圖片顯示甲烷在地表上分佈情形。新研顯示由於在大氣層與其它物質交互作用，而提昇了甲烷的暖化效果。

(PhysOrg.com) -- For decades, climate scientists have worked to identify and measure key substances -- notably greenhouse gases and aerosol particles -- that affect Earth’s climate. And they’ve been aided by ever more sophisticated computer models that make estimating the relative impact of each type of pollutant more reliable. 下個十年，氣候專家已完成確認及量測出影嚮地球氣候的關鍵物質：特別的溫室氣體及氣膠（aerosol）粒子。且藉著更複雜電腦模組來評估各種污染物交互作用（relative impact）的確實情況。

Yet the complexity of nature -- and the models used to quantify it -- continues to serve up surprises. The most recent? Certain gases that cause warming are so closely linked with the production of aerosols that the emissions of one type of pollutant can indirectly affect the quantity of the other. And for two key gases that cause warming, these so-called “gas-aerosol interactions” can amplify their impact. ．．某些氣體造成暖化是如此地與氣膠產物（一種可以間接影嚮影其它氣體數量的污染排放氣體）緊密連結。一種叫“氣膠交互作用”會強化它們的衝擊。

“We’ve known for years that methane and carbon monoxide have a warming effect,” said Drew Shindell, a climate scientist at the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) in New York and lead author of a study published this week in Science. “But our new findings suggest these gases have a significantly more powerful warming impact than previously thought.”  近年我們己知道甲烷及一氧化碳造成暖化效果，但我們新發現那些氣體異外地其暖化衝擊力道超過原先假設。Drew Shindell 在這週科學雜誌公佈重要的研究報告．．．。

甲烷造成全球暖化遠遠超過原先所假設的
Methane’s impact on global warming far higher than previously thought
October 30, 2009 Times online Mark Henderson, Science Editor

The effects of a critical greenhouse gas on global warming have been significantly underestimated, according to research suggesting that emissions controls and climate models may need to be revised.根據研究顯示GHG排放控制及氣候模型可能需要修正，危險的溫室氣體對全球暖化造成的效果己經被嚴重地低估了。

Methane’s impact on global temperatures is about a third higher than generally thought because previous estimates have not accounted for its interaction with airborne particles called aerosols, Nasa scientists found.NASA科學家發現甲烷對全球溫度的影響約占３分之１超過一般的假設，因為先前評估不包含在空中傳播的粒子（aerosols 氣膠）的交互作用。

When this indirect effect of the potent greenhouse gas is included one tonne of methane has about 33 times as much effect on the climate over 100 years as a tonne of carbon dioxide, rather than 25 times as in standard estimates.當強效溫室氣體﹣１噸甲烷﹣包含間接效果在內，對氣候影嚮約是１噸二氧化碳存在100年的33倍強，25倍是標準的假設。

Drew Shindell, of the Nasa Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, who led the study, said that the findings added to the importance of measures to contain methane emissions, as well as those of carbon dioxide, which will be discussed at the Copenhagen climate summit in December.Drew Shindell(NASA Goddard 太空研究機構)在紐約發表研究：比那些二氧化碳，包括甲烷在內的氣體，決定加強其重要性。這項研究將在12月哥本哈根氣候會議拿來討論。

As methane breaks down much more quickly than carbon dioxide, the impact of cuts on climate would also be faster. 甲烷的破壞快過二氧化碳，對氣候的影響也遞減比較快。

“For long-term climate change there’s no way around dealing with CO2 — it’s the biggest thing and it lasts hundreds of years,” Dr Shindell told The Times. 長遠來看沒有方法處理CO2，那是一件至少一百年的大事。

“But if we were to have a concerted effort to deal with non-CO2 we could have a very large impact on the near term.但如果我們能關注努力處理非CO2部份，我們就能在短期內獲得巨大成效。

“Substantial reductions in methane, carbon monoxide and black carbon: that’s the way to make a big difference. I think it should be more of a priority [for Copenhagen].”俱體地減少甲烷、二氧化碳、黑碳的方法是大大地有所不同，應該要有優先順序。

溫莎古堡舉行純素宴會
Vegan banquet at Windsor Castle
By Emma Midgley BBC Berkshire

The Bishop of London has become a vegetarian for ecological reasons The menu for the vegan banquet at Windsor Castle 倫教主教因為環境生態的原因己成為一位素食者。

When people from nine faiths with special dietary requirements visit for a banquet, what should be on the menu?一場宴會來自不同宗教的飲食要求，應該要準備什麼菜單？

That is the dilemma facing the Royal Family as Windsor Castle hosts an international conference to celebrate different faiths and the environment.．．信仰與環境會議。

The banquet will be held on Tuesday 4 November and hosted by Prince Philip and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.11/4星期四的宴會由英國王子Philip及聯合國秘書長潘基文主持。

Faiths will include Baha'ism, Christianity, Daoism, Hinduism, Islam, Judaism, Shintoism and Sikhism.

Jewish conference visitors will require food which is kosher, whereas others will need halal meat. People from many faiths follow a vegetarian diet and daoists prohibit the use of ingredients from endangered animals and plants.猶太教必需Kosher認證的食物；穆斯林只吃Halal認證的肉，道教禁步使用危害動物及植物成份的食物；其它則是素食的。

The result has been the first vegan banquet in Windsor Castle's history. All the food will be free-range, and most organic, local and fair-trade. No bottled water will be provided.結果就產生溫莎古堡歷史上第一次純素宴會。

The menu for the vegan banquet at Windsor Castle

STARTER 餐前菜
Salad of roasted English pear, steamed celeriac and oven roasted cobnuts
Frisee leaves tossed with a hazelnut oil and lemon oil dressing
Served with a red grape reduction
Ciabatta bread served with olive oil

MAIN COURSE 主餐
Portabello mushroom stuffed with artichoke, red onion and thyme, set on pearl barley and butternut squash risotto with gremolata oil
Roasted root vegetables to include carrots, parsnips and beetroot turned with baby chard

DRINKS 飲料
Cranberry and fresh orange cocktail
Jugs of iced tap water and lemon on the tables
(No dessert due to extremely tight schedule)

Thames Valley Vegans

Sophie Fenwick-Paul, vegetarian and environmental campaigner for Thames Valley Vegans, said she was happy that the Palace were turning vegan for the banquet.
"I think it's a lovely idea," she said. "Vegan food is suitable for everybody, whatever their religious diet or their food intolerances.
"A report that came out last week showed that 51% of global warming effect is caused by livestock farming, so if people just cut down on the meat and dairy they eat would have a huge effect on global warming."

諾貝爾和平獎得主﹣
高爾說：成為素食者以拯救地球
Turn vego to save planet: Gore
November 4, 2009 AAP

AI Gore on ABC Vedio online: http://www.abc.net.au/reslib/200911/r464327_2296513.asx

We've always been told to eat our greens, but now there's another incentive, saving the planet.
我們總是被告知要多吃蔬菜，但現在還有一個動機：「拯救地球」。

Climate change campaigner Al Gore believes turning vegetarian could aid the battle against global warming.
氣候變遷倡議者 AI Gore 相信成為蔬（素）食者對減緩全球暖化是有幫助的。

But he's stopped short of asking everyone to turn their back on meat, acknowledging getting a global agreement on fighting climate change is already hard enough.
但他己停止這項要求，因為光是要達成全球協議來對抗氣候變遷就已經相當困難。

The former US vice-president turned environmental campaigner said on Wednesday he agreed with the UK's Nicholas Stern that meat eaters have contributed greatly to increased global carbon emissions.
．．．他說：我同意英國 Nicholas Stern 說的：食肉增加全球碳排放量貢獻很大。

'I'm not a vegetarian, but I have cut back sharply on the meat that I eat,' he told ABC Television from New York.
他在紐約接受澳洲廣播公司（ABC）訪問：我不是素食主義者，但我已嚴格地減少肉食了。

'It's absolutely correct that the growing meat intensity of diets around the world is one of the issues connected to this global crisis - not only because of the CO2 involved, but also because of the water consumed in the process.
無庸置疑地全世界肉食成長是全球危機造因之一，這不僅是二氧化碳，還包括生產過程中水資源的消耗。

'You could add in the health consequences as well.'
你可以再增加對健康的影響。

Substituting more fruit and vegetables in an everyday diet was the responsible thing to do, he said.
在每日飲食中以更多的蔬果替代肉食是負責任的作法，他說。

'I've made those changes, and while I don't go quite as far as Nick saying everybody should become a vegetarian - partly because it's difficult enough to get the agreement without adding that on top of it - it is a legitimate point of view.'

Fruit and vegetables aside, Mr Gore was confident a global agreement can be reached when the world's leaders meet in Copenhagen for climate change talks.

'I think we have an excellent chance of getting a framework agreement that's binding and puts us on the right road,' he said.

Much depended on the US's ability to pass climate change legislation before December, but he said the odds were favourable that would happen.

《聖者的哲學﹣巴巴薩萬辛》第一章　禪修

　第一節　靈樂時間
 
諸多聖典描述：清早的時間是吉祥的時光。這段時間是屬於神的。夜間最後三小時被認為是靈樂時間。

“聖者在夜間保持醒覺。世俗人於此時追求感官和凡世的慾樂。屬於神的人利用夜間憶念他。二種人都是醒覺的。但利用夜間憶念神的人有福了。

” 夜間是親愛的主出現的時光。 ”於此時貪睡的人自我剝奪了一個大大的恩典。我們應於白天工作，夜間則用來愛主和奉獻給主。所以整個晚上應該用作與主靈交。整個世界沉沉大睡，但弟子晚間應在天主足下修禪定。

所有時間都可修習禪定。我們應該利用適合自己的時間。但早上黎明前和黃昏日落後特別有益於習禪。此二段時光剛好日夜交替，將日和夜連接起來。靈性之流於此種時間中特別強而有力。在日間我們致力於世間事務，所以剩下來奉獻給主的只有晚上的時間了。

飽食後或胃部漲滿時不宜於禪定的修習。因此時身體的精能正在用於消化的程序上。禪定時宜空腹。於清晨時胃是空的，因昨天傍晚的飲食已經完全消化了。

現在的廚師真不簡單，不僅要會煮會炒、會控制火候．．，還要懂得食材特性與料理變化，就連食材的成長環境都要清楚，在養生的需求之下，還要懂得食物的營養成份、營養搭配與人體的運行，在競爭的市場裡，或者宴會中，更是要求視覺美觀藝術上的表現，發揮到極致，這麼一來不僅是廚師，還是個營養師、養生家、藝術家。

每一個職業都有它的神聖所在，就像南丁格爾的精神代表白衣天使的聖職內涵，廚師不應該只是滿足人們的胃，不應該只是供與需的技術工作，更應該提昇到愛心飲食、道德消費的精神領域，讓廚師的職業性質加進神聖的元素，在餐飲產業中引領廚師們放棄葷食料理，轉做蔬（素）食料理，如果這樣，那麼他就是真正的「食神」了。

如果我是一位廚師，當我知道我料理的食材用料是來自充滿動物的血淚與暴力對待，以及對地球生態是如此地嚴重破壞時，影嚮了人類後代子孫及我的孩子，那麼我就會拒絕使用這樣來源的食材。

招牌！蕃茄豆腐湯麵。

幾個月前去彰化的鹿港老街遊逛時，正值中午，人潮之中發現了一家素食店，這家素食店擺滿了以艾草為主要原料的加工食品及各種日常用品，而前面有一攤賣著以艾草為主要食材的麵類水餃，其中艾草素肉圓很特別，綠綠油油的除了原有彰化素圓的美食，加上艾草的美味，風味特殊，為再嚐艾草素肉圓，特地在桃園找了一下，來這家艾草之家﹣祥順健康素食。可惜艾草素肉圓由於艾草粉要融入食不易，製作成本過高，所以就停賣了。

艾草應用相當多元又廣，在食的方面就好像香椿一樣，甚至可以朝像法國羅勒葉、奧力岡這樣調味料去創新研發，變成一罐一罐的，這可增加素食食材、口味的多元化，有助於素食市場的成長。

艾草湯麵。湯面外圍一圈油綠油綠的，裡面有艾草末。
