Both Men & Women, Sons & Daughters-Need to read this

BEING A MOTHER...After 17 years of marriage, my wife wanted me to take another woman out to dinner and a movie. She said, 'I love you, but I know this other woman loves you and would love to spend some time with you.'* * *The other woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my MOTHER, who has been alone for 20 years,but the demands of my work and my two boys hadmade it possible to visit her only occasionally.* * *That night I called to invite her to go out fordinner and a movie.* * *'What's wrong, aren't you well,' she asked?* * *My mother is the type of woman who suspects that alate night call or a surprise invitation is a signof bad news.* * *'I thought it would be pleasant to spend sometime with you,' I responded. 'Just the two of us.'She thought about it for a moment, and then said,'I would like that very much.'* * *That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at herhouse, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervousabout our date. She waited in the door. She had curled her hair and was wearing thedress that she had worn to celebrate her lastbirthday on November 19th.* * *She smiled from a face that was as radiant as anangel's. 'I told my friends that I was going to goout with my son, and they were impressed,' she said,as she got into that new white van. 'They can't wait to hear about our date'.* * *We went to a restaurant that, although notelegant, was very nice and cozy. My mother took myarm as if she were the First Lady. After we satdown, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could onlyread large print. Half way through the entries, Ilifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there staring atme. A nostalgic smile was on her lips. 'It was Iwho used to have to read the menu when you weresmall,' she said. 'Then it's time that you relax andlet me return the favor,' I responded.* * *During the dinner, we had an agreeable conversation- -nothing extraordinary but catching upon recent events of each other's life. We talked somuch that we missed the movie.* * *As we arrived at her house later, she said, 'I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you.' I agreed.* * *'How was your dinner date ?' asked my wife when I got home. 'Very nice. Much more so than I could have imagined,' I answered.* * *A few days later, my mother died of a massiveheart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn'thave a chance to do anything for her.* * *Some time later, I received an envelope with acopy of a restaurant receipt from the same placemother and I had dined. An attached note said: 'Ipaid this bill in advance. I wasn't sure that Icould be there; but nevertheless, I paid for two plates - one for you and the other for your wife.You will never know what that night meant for me. I love you, son.'* * *At that moment, I understood the importance ofsaying in time: 'I LOVE YOU' and to give our lovedones the time that they deserve. Nothing in life ismore important than your family. Give them the timethey deserve, because these things cannot be put offtill 'some other time.'* * *Somebody said it takes about six weeks to get backto normal after you've had a baby.... somebodydoesn't know that once you're a mother, 'normal' is history.* * *Somebody said you learn how to be a mother byinstinct .. somebody never took a three-year-old shopping. * * *Somebody said being a mother is boring ....somebody never rode in a car driven by a teenager with a driver's permit. Somebody said if you're a'good' mother, your child will 'turn out good'.... somebody thinks a child comes withdirections and a guarantee.* * *Somebody said you don't need an education to be amother.... somebody never helped a fourth graderwith his math.* * *Somebody said you can't love the second child asmuch as you love the first ... somebody doesn't have two children.* * *Somebody said the hardest part of being a motheris labor and delivery.... somebody never watched her 'baby' get on the bus for the first day of kindergarten ... or on a plane headed for military 'boot camp.'* * *Somebody said a mother can stop worrying after herchild gets married....somebody doesn't know thatmarriage adds a new son or daughter-in-law to amother's heartstrings.* * *Somebody said a mother's job is done when her last child leaves home.... somebody never had grandchildren.* * *Somebody said your mother knows you love her, soyou don't need to tell her.... somebody isn't a mother.

IF SHE'S STILL WITH YOU
Just a few days ago.A friend lost her MotherAnd as we all know.There will never be another.She's one of the few things in lifeThat can never be replaced.She's led us down those life's paths.That can never be retraced.Too many take their Moms for grantedAnd think they'll always be around.They don't know how. She'll be missed.When, one day She's Heaven-bound.Why we celebrate this special day.Only this one time a yearWhen everyday our Mom is special.And we should tell Her, make that clear.So, if you are a lucky one.Whose Mom is still with you.Tell her everyday you love herFor, that's the least that you can do.

Magnetic Therapy
Experiments have shown that magethic thereaply helps to reduce blood pressures. patines can place magnetic plates on their acupoints, wear as braclets on wrists, rest on magnetised pillows or consume magnetised water.

Example of a Simple Meditation Technique for Beginners

1. The sitting posture, which has been found to be the most conducive for meditation, is the half-lotus position. Sit upright with your back and spine straight -- cross-legged with your right leg over the left one. You can sit on a cushion or pillow to make your position more comfortable. Nothing should impede your breathing or circulation. Your hands should rest palms-up on your lap, and the tip of your right index finger should touch your left thumb. Feel as if you are one with the ground on which you sit. Feel that you could sit happily for as long as you like.2. Softly close your eyes as if you were falling asleep. Relax every part of your body, beginning the muscles of your face, then relax your face, neck shoulders, arms, chest, trunk and legs. Make sure there are no signs of tension on your forehead or across your shoulders.
3. Close your eyes and stop thinking about the things of the world. Feel as if you are sitting alone -- around you is nothing and no-one. Create a feeling of happiness and spaciousness in your mind. Before starting, it is necessary to acquaint yourself with the various resting points or bases of the mind inside the body. The first base is at the rim of the nostril, on the right side for men and on the left side for women.

The second base is at the bridge of the nose at the corner of the eye -- on the right side for men and on the left side for women.
The third base is at the centre of the head.
The fourth is at the roof of the mouth.
The fifth is at the centre of the throat above the Adamís apple.
The sixth base is at a point in the centre of the body at the meeting point of an imaginary line between the navel through the back and the line between the two sides.
The seventh base of the mind is two fingersí breadths above the sixth base.This base is the most important point in the body. It is the very center of the body and the point where the mind can come to a standstill.
4. Feel that your body is empty space, without organs, muscles or tissues. Gently and contentedly rest you attention at a point near to the seventh base of the mind -- at the centre of the body. Whatever experience arises in the mind, simply observe without attempting to interfere. In this way your mind will become gradually purer and inner experience will unfold.
5. If you find that you cannot dissuade the mind from wandering, then your mind needs an inner object as a focus for attention. Gently imagine that a bright, clear, crystal ball, the size of the tip of your little finger, is located inside at the center of the body. Maybe you'll find you can imagine nothing, but later you'll be able to see a crystal ball of increasing clarity. Allow your mind to come to rest at the very center of the crystal ball. Use the subtlest of effort and youíll find that the crystal ball becomes brighter and clearer. If you see too much effort you will find that it gives you a headache.
6. If you find that your mind still wanders from the crystal ball, you can bring the mind back to a standstill by repeating the mantra, 'Samma-araham' silently, as if the sound of the mantra is coming from the centre of the crystal ball. Repeat the mantra over and over again without counting.
7. Don't entertain thoughts in your mind. Don't analyze whatís going on in the meditation. Allow the mind to come to the standstill -- thatís all you need to do. If you find that you can imagine nothing, then repeat the mantra, 'Samma-araham' silently and continuously in the mind. If you find that you're not sure about the location of the centre of the body, anywhere in the area of the stomach will do. Persevere because today's day-dream is tomorrow's still mind, today's darkness is tomorrow's inner brightness, today's perseverance is tomorrow's fulfillment. Don't be disappointed if you find your mind wandering. It is only natural for beginners. Make effort continuously, keep your mind bright, clear and pure, and in the end, you will achieve your goal.8. Keep repeating the mantra and eventually the sound of the words will die away. At that point a new bright, clear, crystal ball will arise in the mind of its own accord. The crystal ball will sparkle like a diamond.
This stage is called pathama magga (primary path). At this stage the shining crystal ball is connected firmly to the mind, and is seated at the centre of the body. You will experience happiness, With continuous observation at the center of this crystal ball, it will give way to a succession of increasingly purer bodily sheaths until it reaches the ultimate one called 'Dhammakaya', the highest level of attainment of supreme happiness.

Siew Chi Wedding Dinner-Orchard Parade Hotel

Siew Chi!!!Finally, you are married. I enjoyed the Wedding dinner and the foods are delicious, especially the dessert.

丈夫应该如何对妻子

“丈夫应该时时尊敬自己的妻子,并对妻子忠心。此外,
丈夫也应该让妻子拥有管理家务事的权力;还要
用心选购适合妻子打扮的物品。佛陀在2500多年
前所给的忠告,至今仍然非常地实用。
由于佛陀很清楚男性具有优越感的心态,所以佛
陀便建议丈夫必须时时尊敬自己的妻子。佛陀的
建议虽然很简单,却能显著地改变和提升女性的
社会地位。此外, 佛陀还说丈夫必须对妻子忠
心,这意味着丈夫必须履行对妻子的婚后承诺,
也因此促进他们对这段婚姻的信心。由于丈夫必
44 从佛教角度来探讨美满婚姻生活须外出赚钱养家,
所以他必须信任妻子有持家的
能力,并将大小家务事委托妻子全权处理,让她
掌管、安排家庭资产和钱财的使用。并为妻子提
供适合她的装饰物品,以表达丈夫对妻子的关怀
与重视。像这样深具意义的象征性之举,其实早
在佛陀的时代,就已经在佛教族群中开始实施
了。可惜的是,受现代社会文明的影响,这样的
夫妻伦理观念,也面临着被淘汰与逐渐消亡的命
运.

“我相信女性是应该要获得良好的教育。但是,我
也很相信,女性是不会利用嘲笑、讽刺的手段,与
男性一同竞争赛跑,来表现她们对世界的贡献。但
从佛教角度来探讨美满婚姻生活47
是,如果她们的目的纯粹只是为了要击败男性,并
且以此来嘲笑、讽刺他们,这恐怕也会让女性无法
发挥她的潜能,爬上高峰。因此,女性必须懂得与
男性相互配合,互相补足彼此缺少的部分,以便取
得双赢的局面。”——甘地

Woman become more capable and independent.
They have to cope with work, children and study and etc.
They rather join the workforce and not willing to stay at home
to be a " Yellow Face woman"....

女性有关婚姻中所须扮演的角色

◎ 不应该对丈夫持有恶意。
◎ 不应该残忍、粗暴或霸道。
◎ 不应该任意挥霍金钱,而应该知足节俭。
◎ 应该看守和帮助丈夫储存钱财与资产。
◎ 时时保持谨慎,端正自己的身口意行为。
40 从佛教角度来探讨美满婚姻生活◎ 对丈夫忠心, 并且不可怀有
任何企图出轨的意念。
◎ 言谈举止要温文尔雅。
◎ 心地善良,刻苦勤奋。
◎ 对丈夫仁慈体贴, 犹如母亲
对独子的慈爱、保护与关怀。
◎ 待人谦卑,恭敬有礼。
◎ 冷静沉着,善解人意。

在必要的情况下,除了扮演妻子的
角色, 也能充当丈夫的朋友与顾
问,为丈夫提供精神上的支持与适
当的意见。
Wow...........it is apply for the modern woman
nowdays???????How many woman can do that?
I saw a woman shouting and scolding her husband along the road.
She just shout and scream: You are useless and i am blind than married you.
Where is the respect??????

Fiona Stanley says 1 in 5 unfit to be parents

By Evonne Barry
September 28, 2008 02:14am
Article from:

Fiona Stanley says 20pc of parents are 'unfit'
Either work too much or don't have parenting skills
Future generations threatened, she says

ONE in five Australian mums and dads is unfit to be a parent, according to child-health expert and former Australian of the Year Professor Fiona Stanley.She says they either lack the means or the life skills to raise children or cannot devote enough time to their kids because of excessive work commitments.
Professor Stanley, an adviser to Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, has also slammed the Federal Government's policy on paid parental leave.
She said a national effort - on the scale of the climate-change movement - was needed to protect the futures of Australian children.
"We need an Al Gore for child development," the founder of the Institute for Child Health Research said.
"There are a worrying number of threats to children's health in society today.
"If we don't respond to these challenges ... we will be looking at our generation, my generation, as being the last generation that lives longer than its parents.
"If you look at the overall trend in many problems, they are actually showing no improvement - and some of them are getting dramatically worse."
Professor Stanley said paid parental leave, being assessed by the Federal Government, was crucial.
"The fact we don't have maternity leave or parental leave in Australia is just indicative of our lack of valuing of parents," she said.
A draft report for the Productivity Commission's inquiry into paid parental leave will be released tomorrow.
Professor Stanley said as many as one in five parents were financially and socially ill-equipped for child-rearing.
"There's this increasing group of parents who are just not making ends meet. They don't have the capacity to be parents.
"And they may represent as much as 20 per cent of the population when you add in Aboriginal people and the most disadvantaged in society.
"There are a lot of people who are going to find it difficult to parent."
Mental illness, obesity, asthma and substance abuse were the biggest risks for Australian children, Professor Stanley said.
