臺灣的戒嚴時期，還是在1996年政府決定鎮壓幾個團體的時候，還是在中國大陸，當局不認可的宗教和心靈團體都被貼上了 #邪教 的標籤。這個說法在英文中常被翻譯成 “cult(異端的宗教信仰或崇拜)”，或 “xie jiao(邪教)”，但翻譯並不準確，而且有些不合時宜。
　　　
There is, however, another possibility. Both in Taiwan, during the Martial Law period and when the government decided to crack down on several groups in 1996, and in Mainland China, religious and spiritual movements the authorities do not approve of are labeled xie jiao. The expression is often translated in English as “cults,” or “evil cults,” but the translation is not precise and somewhat anachronistic.
　
倫敦大學研究員吳俊卿發表了多篇關於邪教概念歷史的研究，包括《曼達林與異端》（Leiden：Brill，2017）一書。其他學者將邪教作為一個政治和法律範疇可以追溯到明代，而吳曉波則表明，它最早出現在 #唐代 要求消滅佛教的傅毅（554-639）的著作中，具有 “異教 “的含義。此後的宋（960-1279年）、元（1279-1368年）兩朝，則以「白蓮教」為 #共同標籤，呼籲消滅被禁止的新宗教運動。到了明朝（1368-1644年），邪教成為一個法律概念，並開始編制邪教名單，清朝（1644-1912年）、民國、共產黨都延續了這一做法，也影響了臺灣。
　　
Wu Junqing, a research fellow at London University, has published several studies on the history of the notion of xie jiao, including the book Mandarins and Heretics (Leiden: Brill, 2017). While other scholars date the introduction of xie jiao as a political and legal category to the Ming era, Wu shows that it first appeared, with the meaning of “heterodox teachings,” in the writings of Fu Yi (554–639), who called for the eradication of Buddhism during the Tang dynasty. In the subsequent Song (960–1279) and Yuan (1279–1368) dynasties, xie jiao was used to call for the destruction of new religious movements banned under the common label of “White Lotus.” With the Ming dynasty (1368–1644), xie jiao became a legal concept, and lists of xie jiao started being compiled, a practice continued by the Qing dynasty (1644–1912), Republican, and Communist China, and which also influenced Taiwan.

早安！
分享一篇不錯的演講給大家看看！

【中英雙語展示 ‧ 許國榮 Alex Hui 翻譯】
Ugandan President’s address to his nation. One of the best Covid-19 speeches till now, from anyone anywhere in this world.
以下是烏干達總統對他國民的致詞。 迄今為止，從來自世界各地對於有關Covid-19的演詞來說，被公認最佳演詞之一。
Uganda President KAGUTA MUSEVENI warns against people misbehaving during this COVID-19 period, "God has a lot of work, He has the whole world to look after. He cannot just be here in Uganda looking after idiots".
烏干達總統卡古塔·穆塞韋尼（KAGUTA MUSEVENI）告誡人們不要在COVID-19時期表現不佳，「上帝有很多工作需要做，整個世界都需要祂去照顧。他不能只是在烏干達這裡照顧你們這一班白痴。」
"In a war situation, nobody asks anyone to stay indoors. You stay indoors by choice. In fact, if you have a basement, you hide there for as long as hostilities persist.
在戰爭情況下，沒有人要求任何人呆在室內。你會選擇留在室內。實際上，如果你有地下室，只要戰火持續下去，你都會一直呆在那裡。
During a war, you don't insist on your freedom. You willingly give it up in exchange for survival.
在戰爭中，您不會堅持自己的自由。 您願意放棄它以換取生存。
During a war, you don't complain of hunger. You bear hunger and pray that you live to eat again.
在戰爭中，您不會抱怨飢餓。你會忍受飢餓，並祈求天父你能夠生存，有機會再次吃飯。
During a war, you don't argue about opening your business. You close your shop (if you have the time), and run for your life. You pray to outlive the war so that you can return to your business (that's if it has not been looted or destroyed by mortar fire).
在戰爭中，你不會為商店營業而爭論。你會趕快及時關閉門戶，你會為自己的活命而禱告；並且祈求這場戰爭早日過去，以便你可以重拾若果僥倖尚存的家園。
During a war, you are thankful to God for seeing another day in the land of the living.
在戰爭中，你會感恩上帝可以存活在有生命的地上，親眼看到新的一天。
During a war, you don't worry about your children not going to school. You pray that the government does not forcefully enlist them as soldiers to be trained in the school premises now turned military depot.
在戰爭中，你不會擔心孩子不上學。 你會禱告祈求政府不要強迫他們當兵，而這些士兵要在現已變成軍用倉庫的學校場地接受軍訓。
The world is currently in a state of war. A war without guns and bullets. A war without human soldiers. A war without borders. A war without cease-fire agreements. A war without a war room. A war without sacred zones.
世界目前正處於戰爭狀態：一場沒有槍支和子彈的戰爭；沒有人類士兵的戰爭；一場毫無國界的戰爭；沒有停火協議的戰爭；沒有作戰室的戰爭；沒有神聖地帶的戰爭。
The army in this war is without mercy. It is without any milk of human kindness. It is indiscriminate - it has no respect for children, women, or places of worship. This army is not interested in spoils of war. It has no intention of regime change. It is not concerned about the rich mineral resources underneath the earth. It is not even interested in religious, ethnic or ideological hegemony. Its ambition has nothing to do with racial superiority. It is an invisible, fleetfooted, and ruthlessly effective army.
這場戰爭中的軍隊毫不留情：它沒有任何人性。它是不分青紅皂白，它不會尊重兒童、婦女、或崇拜場所。 這支軍隊對戰利品毫不感興趣。毫無意願去改變政權，毫不關心地底下的豐富礦產資源。 它甚至對宗教，種族或意識形態霸權都不感興趣。 它的野心與種族優勢無關。它是一支看不見的，腳步輕盈，殘酷無情的軍隊。

Its only agenda is a harvest of death. It is only satiated after turning the world into one big death field. Its capacity to achieve its aim is not in doubt. Without ground, amphibious and aeriel machines, it has bases in almost every country of the world. Its movement is not governed by any war convention or protocol. In short, it is a law unto itself. It is Coronavirus. Also known as COVID-19 (because it announced its destructive presence and intention in the year of our Lord 2019).
它唯一的議程是去收穫死亡。 只有在把整個世界變成橫屍遍野的大屠場之後，它才會滿足。 它實現其目標的能力是毋庸置疑的。 這支軍隊並沒有陸戰、兩棲、或空戰設備，但它的基地卻幾乎遍布世界每一角落。 它的移動並不受任何戰爭公約或協議的約束。 簡而言之，這是一支橫行無忌的軍隊。 它是冠狀病毒。 也被稱為COVID-19（因為它是在主後2019年宣布了破壞性存在和意圖）。
Thankfully, this army has a weakness and it can be defeated. It only requires our collective action, discipline and forbearance. COVID-19 cannot survive social and physical distancing. It only thrives when you confront it. It loves to be confronted. It capitulates in the face of collective social and physical distancing. It bows before good personal hygiene. It is helpless when you take your destiny in your own hands by keeping them sanitized as often as possible.
不過，值得慶幸的好訊息是：這支軍隊都有弱點，它可以被擊敗。 只需要我們的集體行動，紀律和寬容。 COVID-19無法倖免於社交和軀體上的隔離。 它只有在你刻意面對它時才能蓬勃發展；牠喜歡被迎面對抗。 但面對集體性的社交和身軀上的距離，它投降了。它在保持良好個人衛生之前先鞠躬退役。 當你通過盡可能地掌握自己的命運，清潔雙手時，它更是無奈。
This is not a time to cry about bread and butter like spoilt children. After all, the Holy book tells us that man shall not live by bread alone. Let's obey and follow the instructions of the authorities. Let's flatten the COVID-19 curve. Let's exercise patience. Let's be our brothers' keeper. In no time, we shall regain our freedom, enterprise and socializing."
現今並不是哭泣之時，像被寵壞的孩童那樣，哭泣暫時肚飢的時候。 畢竟，聖經告訴我們，「人活著不是單靠食物」《馬太福音4:4》。 讓我們服從並遵循當局的指示。 讓我們展平COVID-19的曲線。 讓我們保持耐心。 讓我們成為兄弟互相的守護。 我們恢復自由、進取和社會交往，指日可待。
In the midst of EMERGENCY, we practice urgency of service and the urgency of love for others. God bless us all.
在緊急狀態中，好讓我們操練迫切性的互相服務，和迫切性的互相關懷。但願慈愛的天父上帝憐憫祝福各位。

The best and most intelligent public speech ever made during Covid-19.
以上是「新冠病毒」疫情中，被公認為曾經發表過的明智公開演講。

#防疫人人有責

直到胖女人唱歌為止，它一直沒有結束，但是可悲的是，胖女人唱歌得太早了，脆弱的蝴蝶飛走了。

當我2000年在網上結識Charlene並打橋牌時，她是一位成功的女商人。她在網上訂購了許多法國和意大利產品，然後運往台灣，她嘗試了一切，她吃了任何東西，任何動物，水果或蔬菜的任何部分，食物都是她一生中很重要的一部分。 2000年我第一次在現實生活中遇見她時，她看上去就像電影明星。 2007年，這個女孩選擇放棄自己的生活，放棄了我們認為是家庭的最好的朋友，失去了她的工作，並賣掉了在台北的公寓與我同住。我告訴她：從現在開始，您將在餘生中度假，我信守諾言。

夏琳（Charlene）想要在荷蘭說些什麼，並開始在博客中建立新的個性，而不是利用她在台灣的名氣。她從零開始慢慢建立起來，如今在多個小組和平台中擁有超過213.000忠實的粉絲和追隨者。夏琳（Charlene）一直對旅行和歐洲美食感興趣，退休後的夢想是成為一名作家並住在屋頂傾斜的歐洲國家（尤其是法國或意大利）的房屋中。我們住在荷蘭一個不壞的公寓裡，屋頂平整，她非常喜歡這個溫馨的家庭。

在荷蘭，她開始寫烹飪書，在她變得更出名之後，一些出版商要求她翻譯書籍：例如尼吉拉·勞森，傑米·奧利弗和戈登·拉姆齊。即使在醫院進行重度化療時，她也一直在這樣做，甚至在她即將更正最新版本時也是如此。我們到了很多地方，都是隨機挑選的，只是四處逛逛，常常幾個小時都沒有遇到其他人或汽車。我們住在漂亮的公寓裡，大部分是在小城市和鄉村，或者在茫茫荒野中。我們看到了美麗的事物，吃了美味的食物，過著像本地人一樣的生活，輕鬆而
又沉悶。

自2017年10月以來，我和我的蝴蝶夏琳女王（Charlene）戰鬥了三年多。她獨自在醫院的無菌室里呆了6個月，我們已經隔離了一年多。起初，我們似乎可以戰勝這些可怕的癌症。這次夏琳只想要一點運氣，但無濟於事。夏琳心地善良，總是對他人意味著最好，她努力工作，堅韌而甜美，從不抱怨，對生活中的小事感到滿意。

從2020年8月開始，我們在意大利度過了最後兩個假期。錫耶納（Siena）讓她感到非常高興，“我有史以來最好的假期”。她的夢想是去第二個假期，直到下一個生日，我擔心那是非常樂觀的。夏琳對我們無法前往法國普羅旺斯的呂貝隆感到失望，因為我們最初計劃了第二個假期，2003年我們在此度過了第一次假期。不幸的是，荷蘭政府突然宣布法國的許多地區為“橙色”，我們剛預訂後就因為高電暈風險而禁止進入。西班牙也在名單上：一個我從未訪問過的國家，她想向我展示，西班牙全是橙色。

她完成了五件事，這在以前似乎幾乎是不可能的：我們2020年5月1日成立20週年，以及兩次浪漫的意大利長假。第一次去意大利的錫耶納和她最喜歡的Val d'Orcia，第二次去意大利的Lago Maggiore的斯特雷薩，那裡她的身體明顯較弱，但仍然非常欣賞令人嘆為觀止的景色和9月的夏日天氣，由於水的問題，再次搬到錫耶納（Siena），這使她感到自己在第二故鄉，感到非常高興！最近，她是荷蘭公民12年，而13年前移居荷蘭。我敢/希望認為這是因為她感到幸福，安全和得到了照顧。她的最終目標是她的生日（12月16日），很遺憾，這太樂觀了。

我們很享受，我們吃飯，我們哭了，我們笑了很多，我們彼此珍惜，我們聊了很多小時，一切都說了，不後悔。我們是一個。夏琳（Charlene）擔心我成為一個人，一個人呆著，為失去她感到難過，我為她錯過的一切感到非常抱歉，希望她能和我們在一起更長的時間。我們比以往任何時候都更加緊密。我非常愛她，她將永遠在我心中，會非常想念她！我好寂寞。

將來我會回到我們一起去過的地方。從4月底到2021年6月初，我們在意大利計劃，預訂並支付了“在電暈之后慶祝/征服癌症假期”的費用。如果Corona允許我，我現在仍然想走，但是那是對未來的“遙遠”，吸取了Charlene和我們過去的所有假期，我可能會稍作更改。我們計劃了很多事情，所以對你們所有人：Carpe Diem！不要延遲或推遲您的目標，願望或清單。我會保留她的個人資料，並嘗試不時發布一些內容，我不能總是閱讀所有評論並回复它們，但放心，我會注意到它們。對於跟隨Charlene到公寓和飯店旅行的朋友：請提及她以保持生命，以免被遺忘。

如果您決定做出回應，請做出有意義的回應。不要有空洞，空洞，無所事事或宗教用語，否則請不要回應，我倆都很好，我知道你也會想念她。

It aint over till the fat lady sings, but sadly the fat lady sang too early and the fragile butterfly flew away.

When I met Charlene in 2000 online, playing bridge, she was a successful businesswoman. She ordered lots of French and Italian products online to ship to Taiwan, she tried everything, she ate anything, any part of any animal, any fruit or vegetable, food was an important part of her life. The moment I first met her in real life in 2000 to me she looked like a movie star. In 2007 this girl chose to give up her life, her best friends we consider family, her work and sold her apartment in Taipei to live with me. I told her: From now on you will be on a Holiday for the rest of your life and I kept my promise.

Charlene wanted to mean something in Holland and started to create a new personality in a blog, not using her fame from Taiwan. She slowly built it up from nothing and today has more than 213.000 loyal fans and followers in several groups and platforms. Charlene has always been interested in travel and European food and her dream after retirement was to become a writer and live in a house in a European country with a slanted roof, preferably in France or Italy. We lived in a not bad apartment in Holland with a flat roof which she loved so much, home sweet home.

In Holland she started to write cooking books, after she became more famous, she was asked by several publishers to translate books: Nigella Lawson, Jamie Oliver and Gordon Ramsay for instance. She has been doing this even when she was on heavy chemotherapy in hospital, even just before the end she was correcting the last version. We traveled to many places, randomly picked, just drove around, often not meeting any other person or car for hours. We stayed in beautiful apartments, mostly in small cities and villages or in the middle of nowhere. We saw beautiful things, ate fantastic food, lived life like a local, relaxed, but never a dull moment.

Charlene the truffle queen, my butterfly and I fought since October 2017 for more than three years. She has been in a sterile room alone in hospital for 6 months, we have been in quarantine for more than a year. At first it looked like we would conquer these horrible cancers. All Charlene wanted was a little luck this time, but to no avail. Charlene had a good heart and always meant the best for others, she worked hard, she was tough and sweet, she never complained, and she was happy with the little things in life.

From August 2020 we have been on our last two Holidays in Italy. Siena made her extremely happy, “My best Holiday ever” she said. Her dream was to go on a second Holiday and reach her next birthday, I was afraid that was quite optimistic. Charlene was disappointed we could not travel to the Luberon in the Provence in France, where we originally planned our second Holiday, where we had our first Holiday together in 2003. Unfortunately, the Dutch government suddenly declared many regions in France as “orange”, no go areas because of high Corona risks just after we booked. Spain was also on the list: A country I have never visited, and she wanted to show me, Spain was all orange.

Five things she accomplished, which earlier seemed nearly impossible: Our 20th anniversary May 1st, 2020 and two romantic long Holidays to Italy. The first to Siena, Italy and her favourite Val d’Orcia and the second to Stresa at Lago Maggiore, Italy where she was clearly weaker, but still immensely enjoyed the breathtaking views and the summery weather in September, where due to water problems we had to move, to Siena again, this made her feel at her second home, she was so happy! Recently she was a Dutch citizen for 12 years and moved to Holland 13 years ago. I dare/wish to think it was because she felt happy, safe and taken care of. Her final goal was her birthday (December 16th), unfortunately that was too optimistic.

We enjoyed, we dined, we cried, we laughed a lot, we cherished each other, we talked for many hours, everything has been said, no regrets. We were one. Charlene was worried for me to be and stay all alone and was sad for me losing her and I felt so sorry for all the things she missed out on, wished she would have stayed with us longer. We have been closer than ever before. I love her very much, she will always be in my heart, will miss her so much! I feel so lonely.

In the future I will go back to the places we have visited together. From the end of April till the beginning of June 2021 we planned, booked and paid an “after Corona, celebration / conquer cancer Holiday” in Italy. I now still want to go if Corona lets me, but that is “far” into the future, having learned from Charlene and all our past Holidays, I might change it slightly. We had planned so many things, so to all of you: Carpe Diem! Do not delay or postpone your goals, wishes or bucket list. I will keep her profile alive and try to post something now and then, I cannot always read all comments and reply to them, but rest assured, I will notice them. For the friends that follow Charlene’s travels to apartments and restaurants: Please mention her to keep her alive so that she will not be forgotten.

If you decide to respond, please respond meaningful. No hollow, empty, idle or religious phrases, else please do not respond at all, both are equally fine with me, I know you will miss her too.

Om shrim hrim klim glaum gam ganapataye vara varada sarvajanamme
Ganesh 象頭財神咒 ~每天聽,跟著念,財源廣進,大發利市~

「嗡。嘎那巴底耶。梭哈。」
「嗡。嘎那巴底耶。梭哈。」
「嗡。嘎那巴底耶。梭哈。」

Ganesha象頭神
創始之王；障礙之王；賜福之神
也稱為：Ganapati
屬地：印度
象頭的象頭神可能是現代印度教萬神殿中最受歡迎的神靈；被數百萬尊敬。他也被佛教徒，耆那教徒和新異教徒援引。他對所有人都是仁慈和慷慨的。

創始之王，在創辦任何新企業之前，都要先尋求象頭神的祝福。
象頭神也是障礙之王，儘管有時也會引起憤怒，但有時只是為了吸引更多的崇敬，因此消除障礙但也創造了障礙。 Ganesha的另一面是，必須在新的冒險活動之前將他消氣，以免他在您的道路上放置障礙。

Ganesha向奉獻者們授予成功，勝利，繁榮，物質安慰，浪漫，愛情，更好的性愛以及超自然的力量和技能；但是，他也可以阻止所有這些事情，如果它受到侮辱和激怒，. Ganesha 是一種慷慨，富有同情心的人，很快就會給予幫助。 脾氣暴躁，但也很快冷靜下來，可以得到撫慰和安撫。 （但請記住一句古老的諺語：大象永遠不會忘記！）

• Ganesha 是印度教儀式中首先崇拜的神靈。

• 他是所有遊行隊伍中頭一個的形象。


•他是所有印度教儀式中必不可少的組成部分，除了喪禮。

歷史證據表明，象頭神早在公元前1200年就已為人所知。然而，在公元四世紀之前，倖存的描繪很少見。大約在公元五世紀左右，他才加入印度教萬神殿。
據信，Ganesha已開始化身，成為叢林部落尊敬的亞利安前大象精神。除了他的其他禮物外，他還被要求保護免受象群侵害。他被吸收到印度教萬神殿中，成為希瓦（Shiva）和帕爾瓦蒂（Parvati）的兒子。

• Ganesha 治愈身體，精神和情感方面的疾病。
• Ganesha 有能力從前世的業力中解放出來。
• 他會被孤兒召喚


象神（梵語：गणेश，音譯葛內舍；梵文拉丁轉寫：Gaṇeśa）印度教中的智慧之神，主神濕婆與雪山神女的兒子，戰爭之神室建陀的兄弟。由於象頭神負責統領眾伽那（gaṇa，一群侍奉濕婆的、喜歡搞怪的小神），因此他又名群主（gaṇapati，意即伽那之主）。他的外形為斷去一邊象牙的象頭人身並長著四隻手臂，體色或紅或黃，坐騎是他的老友、一隻狡獪的老鼠。在各種雕繪中，他一般是盤坐著或是翹起其中一邊的膝蓋。
對象頭神的崇拜非常廣泛，不侷限於原始的印度教與更早的婆羅門教；早期在佛陀時代，印度北方已經盛行原始密教，後原始佛教結合密教，出現最早的密宗，其中更演化出各大神祇的不同於當地教派思想、與修行之法，尤其在中原隋唐左右初期，印度高僧紛紛傳法向東遠播至中原隋唐朝，以及東瀛日本，向北則是由印度高僧有第二佛陀之稱的蓮華生大士傳播至西藏。
後中原密教經過滅佛行動，如今佛教中只剩西藏與日本仍保有像頭神的祭祀與修行之法，而中國各寺廟已不復見。
在早期印度密教，和在婆羅門教不同的是，以佛教"出離"與"解脫"為主要思想主軸，但卻有各種術法，其義旨在於幫助修行人"方便"修行。象神在大藏經"佛經密乘部"記載多處，其威能與術法不可思議，其旨，以方便法幫助修行者得其所需，印度密教翻譯的佛經其名號在中文翻譯為 "大聖歡喜天"是為善神。
其起因是在久遠前象神曾向"密教祖師金剛薩埵"與"觀音菩薩"投誠皈依，發誓護持密教行者。後更與十一面觀音化身結為夫妻；其本尊法門被密宗的祖師集結，由印度早期發展而成完整的系列(後佛與密教因教義高深，不被當世接受，消失於印度史)，由印度高僧傳至唐朝(唐密)再傳至東瀛(成為東密)。後來唐朝政治因素而滅佛，中國的密宗信仰湮滅，象神信仰亦然。
但從佛經佛典當中，仍然記載許多法門以及其思想，尤其是《金剛薩埵說頻那夜迦天成就儀軌經》或《大聖歡喜雙身大自在天毘那夜迦王歸依唸誦供養法》等等。可見當時的印度密教的象神和原始婆羅門教以及至今的印度教，象神的信仰已有差別。《天神乘與佛乘之別》
其身有單身(二臂、四臂甚至多臂)，在平常期多以財神(單身)之姿護佑眾生，若在密教圓滿次地上，則現雙身像以教化之(另一身是觀音)。
其本尊乃王者身、善神，經典更記載:象神源始自"大日如來"，經雲《此聖尊自在天。即摩訶毘廬遮那如來。為饒益無福眾生。權化示現此像》；亦提到，此神有善身與惡身之別(乃深秘義旨)，本尊王身是善神，其亦化身邪神(常隨魔、障礙魔)以及驕傲的天神之姿，常被密宗金剛神(金剛薩埵、觀音菩薩、大日如來的化身)踩在腳下，象徵征服自我邪念、魔難、障礙的意思。
