老师出两道题目:
(i) 端午节前和端午节是不能送粽子呢?写出原因。
(ii)非端午节,可不可以请人吃粽子呢?写出原因。
(i) Cannot. According to customs, when one's family is mourning, the family cannot celebrate festivals for 1 year. Therefore, also cannot make festive goodies like rice dumplings. Rice dumplings are gifted to the mourning family. I.e. rice dumplings are only received by families who are mourning. Thus, it's a taboo to gift rice dumplings during 端午节 as it signifies death in the family of the recipient.
(ii) Cannot. Because it rhymes with 送终。不吉利。
If gifted rice dumplings by well meaning friends/ relatives who are ignorant of these customs, we will give a token sum to signify that we "bought" the dumplings to break the significance of the gifting act.
Wah! 我还不知道dumplings 的 tradition & meaning! Gluttony 好有墨水! :)
Last time when I used to live in Circuit rd area 1st floor, cats always sneak in & sit on our chair. Relaxing away.. But will auto run out whenever we opened our gate. And there was once a little cute cat followed me home after I rescued it from a big drain. I loved the cat & we slept together that night. But my mum found out & forbid it in our house so I couldn't keep it as pet. But it stayed outside my unit for days, refusing to leave. I left a towel for the cat to lie on outside my gate till it just disappeared few days after.. Missed the kitten so much..
ooooh.... word sound similar also can't... next time will say "给粽子 " then..lol
We practice this in the family.
Please do not do that.. Why will you want to curse your recipient and make them feel uncomfortable (assuming they know of this)?
There is one in Toa Payoh
你说的,大家都知道。 (click)The temple is call shuang lin shi temple it is vry gd
绝对不行。经是“药”,不同经,不同药。不同药夹杂一起,吃了有事。老师,想请问你心经,大悲咒,药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经,这三部经可以一起念吗?
不用怕不好意思。带口罩念也行。带口罩的话,人家看不到你的嘴在动。通常我会用早上去上班路上在地铁里念,当然声音是很soft 的,这样子可以吗?
静静。不要回向。老师保证没事。念之前可以许愿,那么念完后应该回向还是静静就好了? 因为看到老师有提到不要乱乱回向,请老师enlighten me.
是放生。区区放几只鸟,或许,只能稍微消一点点杂事。不过,还是值得鼓励的。总好过什么都不放,什么都不信。还有一个问题,在Bangkok 四面佛外有人卖鸟,让我们买来放生,这样算是放生吗?

老师,thanks so much for your reply and explanation. 自己也有难怀孕的问题,你觉得三部经文,药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经是不是比较合适?
如果心经,大悲咒是晚上念,药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经是早上念,这样算是杂在一起吗?
老师,想请问老人院如果需要cooking oil,我们买过去后会用来煮一些肉的食物,这样我们的布施会不会有反效果?
算。《药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经》不用念。如果心经,大悲咒是晚上念,药师琉璃光如来本愿功德经是早上念,这样算是杂在一起吗?
No problem.老师,想请问老人院如果需要cooking oil,我们买过去后会用来煮一些肉的食物,这样我们的布施会不会有反效果?
好。可以。Recently I went to pray Zhu Sheng niang niang again n to thank her for giving me a chance but I guess maybe I over stress my body n that's why not lucky enough. Currently I still trying n also taking tcm n acupuncture hopefully will have it.
老师曾经说过,命理学上,是可以看得出。(#966)(#555(Q2))(#1045(Q3))But 老师,2mths ago I went to see a feng shui master she countered my ba zi say no gd n said these 2 yrs I will not hv any baby even hv also my child won't listen to me.
有人很多人想中Toto,看别人中很lucky似乎容易呀!老师也希望是Ho Ching的亲戚,更巴不得是Temasek Holdings的CEO。呵呵...Any advice from u? I always envy ppl around me can give birth easily but I cannot.
Toblerone老师,指的是我吧! 不会啦! 小事一桩,我有时是百无禁忌,百毒不侵的。心无挂碍,无挂碍故!哈哈。你这样回复, @judy_lsk, 不敢上来。她或许以为你在骂她。![]()
Actually we don't practice this in our family and usually my mum and relative will wrapped and passed quite a few to us every year. To us, it's more like sharing rather than cursing. I believe this is very similar to why people don't like to receive clock for birthday/ gift. I believe it's really up to individual to decide. Cheers!

要怀孕生子,前面已经说了。
Please read from page 1 onwards.
老师教人吃斋、念经、布施来消业。最实际也是最耗时间的消业方法帮助怀孕。

想要怀孕不是不可以,得要看个人情况。
老师认识的朋友(他的朋友)可以有效地帮助夫妇怀孕,成功率达90%以上。
而且收费不便宜,at least 4 figures ($X,XXX). No need medication, no pain.
成功怀孕后收钱,不怀孕不收钱!
可以。要小心一点。指的不是人身安全问题。Related post #394 #451老师, I wanna ask if it's ok for me to join the 放生 activities that are organised overseas?
可以。‘财施’放生有‘财施’放生的功德善报。I will not be doing the 放生 myself. Donate for the monk/ temple staffs to buy cattles in Thailand to 放生 on my behalf overseas? The cattles will be given to villagers to work on the farm and will not be slaughtered for food.
首先,放生最好是一个名字for particular subject/matter. 比如,放二十只螃蟹,要一家大小平安,很难的。因为,功德散开了。(target is random and “at mass”)If can, can I use my dad's name and put 合家。 And also use my hubby's name and put 合家? Or do I need to list the names individually?
吓死人了。Tidak boleh. 惹麻烦的。还好你问。My hubby is an oncologist. Can I 放生 in the name of his patients, i.e. "cancer patients of xxxxxxx clinic/ hospital"?
Come to this forum often.老师谢谢你!after reading your post I felt more enlightened and better.![]()
是的。老师的朋友(A)与老师不常来往。他的朋友(B)(不在新加坡)有在那方面有本事。老师,想请问你这位朋友是一名算命师父吗?
My goodness.I am currently in my 5th month of pregnancy with a 10x10x10cm fibroid. Is there anything I can do to ensure smooth delivery.
念经化掉时可以的。不是一年半载的事。My relationship with my in laws are not that great either. Will love to find out if there are ways to improve.
Hi Hi Xyachen, just share with you my experience, it's not that hard to be a vegetarian, you can start from not eating those big animals like cow, pig, goat, chicken, duck..etc first and move on to not eating seafood or you can also start from just eating the non-meat ingredient in the dishes. There are actually a lot of nice vegetarian stalls around. Nowadays, it's much more convenient to be a vegetarian in Singapore. You can also visit this thread for more info on being a vegetarian. Cheers!Option 2 and chanting seems good to meas for going vegetarian it is a bit hard for me
