难得有缘在中秋接触到一本好书--《生命密码》,董复华著作。凭书名,原以为是本玄学著作呢。在好奇心驱使下将之翻阅,才发现是本人生哲学书籍。深入翻阅,原来内有乾坤。说得复杂一些,它讲述“灵魂为何物”;说得白话些,是叙述命运与其改变之法。它与 《了凡四训》 类似,都以故事讲解,但描绘...

自识字开始,就一直对玄学类的东西感到十分兴趣,这可归功于遗传与后天的环境影响(长辈的大部分书籍都以玄学类为主)。我还曾一度想考取玄学科系,可惜现今科学论社会对玄学存有一定的质疑,导致提供玄学科系的学府少之又少。最爱的一本玄学书籍便是李居明编著的《玄学入门》,约看了不下六遍。其中的...

Do you have a "suspended" coffee? 有杯"悬浮"的咖啡吗?
When I went through this story, I keep on figuring whether it can be practiced in my society. Whether it is practicable, it goes back to the root of ethics and humanity, depends on which facets you look at it. Still, the "suspended coffee" act really does warm up the winter and melt the snow. Suspended coffee, anyone?
"We enter a little coffeehouse with a friend of mine and give our order. While we're approaching our table two people come in and they go to the counter -
'Five coffees, please. Two of them for us and three suspended'
They pay for their order, take the two and leave. I ask my friend:
'What are those 'suspended' coffees ?'
'Wait for it and you will see'
Some more people enter. Two girls ask for one coffee each, pay and go. The next order was for seven coffees and it was made by three lawyers - three for them and four 'suspended'. While I still wonder what's the deal with those 'suspended' coffees I enjoy the sunny weather and the beautiful view towards the square in front of the café. Suddenly a man dressed in shabby clothes who looks like a beggar comes in through the door and kindly asks,
'Do you have a suspended coffee ?'
It's simple - people pay in advance for a coffee meant for someone who can not afford a warm beverage. The tradition with the suspended coffees started in Naples, but it has spread all over the world and in some places you can order not only a suspended coffee, but also a sandwich or a whole meal."
