天君之名

您好，


第一期用漢文來寫文章，希望大家可原諒如小弟用錯字。

讀者當然知道我一如來都稱自己爲猶太教徒。其實這是一個方便，猶太教不屬於華人的，也不屬於其他人的教。猶太教是猶太人的宗教。


華人也有自己的宗廟系統，當然這系統跟猶太人的否一樣。但如說，我們有共同點：天和先祖。如你們在Google找‘敬天法祖’(Revering Heaven and emulating the ancestors)，你會看到的都是猶太人的輸入。


爲什麼？很容易，猶太人跟我們一樣，也是‘敬天法祖’


那我們跟他們有什麼不一樣呢？


歷史，人貌，地點，除都是大同小異。


在托拉 (Torah) 裡有寫到的一神概念也是華夏的天君。華夏子孫有供奉不止天還有地，托拉裡有提到‘地生萬物’。


那托拉又是什麼呢？托拉的意思是‘法律’，就代表做人的道理。華夏的四書五經內容也教人生道理。


讓我們回去‘敬天法祖’的時候吧！忘天就是忘因忘祖就是忘本。

Postcard to HaShem

Shalom,


If you were given an opportunity to experience HaShem, what will you not give? However, HaShem will not want you to give Him anything. He just wants you to talk to Him and to be near to Him. What will you write in your postcard if you have the opportunity to send Him one? Isn't it awesome that you know He will read every single one of the postcards you sent Him?


Things are much easier though, have you talk to HaShem, our L-rd, lately? He is listening and He will ever be, no matter how much you have fell, no matter how much have you side-tracked, He will listen to you.


Why does He give us His Torah and Seven Laws? Simple, those are the tools necessary to be near to HaQadosh Baruch Hu.


HaShem, I love you.

The Wisdom of Traffic Jam

Shalom Aleykhem,

First thing, this blog is not yet dead. Haha, I am pretty much alive and well as well as healthy. I am just too lazy to update my blog. Mi an hae yo!

There are wisdoms among the nation; said the sages and nothing could be truer than what I had experienced everyday: Traffic jam.

You might ask, something so annoying, almost a pest by itself, has anything to do with wisdom? I myself is amazed by such inspiration but it struck me just like a thunderbolt.

As usual, I am driving to university like every morning. I am stuck in the traffic and I start to have some evil inclination in my heart:

'@#$#%&* those cars, why can't they move faster!' that sort of things.

Then suddenly it came when I am looking at one car with a lady on board. She seems tired, wore out but nevertheless still on the road with me. Then I start thinking,

'If I, a student in his early adulthood complains about life, this lady besides me should be banging her head against the steering instead,'

What I suffered compared to them is considerably lesser and I do not have classes every morning. Just those few days I have classes this early but yet I start to loose my patient and start yelling, punching my horn as well as my devil-scared frown. After settling down, then it came to me: all this is a miracle happening.

Miracle does not only involved the splitting of the Sea of Reeds. For me, I have witnessed another miracle. Having to wake up early just to face this kind of situation everyday of one's life for the purpose of feeding oneself and one's family is no easy task. Those people who has to put aside personal comfort just to confront everyday's trial and tribulation is a daunting task.

This I see is a miracle happening in its own right, no doubt that jam is caused by wreckless driving, too much of cars etc. but the fact that it is there and the middle-class has to face it everyday at least twice is not something that we can ignore. I have learnt something important that day. Smile more to brighten your day, perhaps those who seen your beam will feel gladden as well.

No doubt it is hard, just try to bless instead of curse. May HaShem be with us all.
