先天知命六壬仙道壇 – 第 333 頁 – 快速搜尋,日新月異,“得各傳教師悉心發揚,接引有緣弟子,六壬館口,百花齊放。”

《了凡四訓》有一個小故事，有位家境清苦的女子，身上僅有兩文錢，拿來供養三寶，老和尚親自為她迴向。以後她發達做了王妃，帶著千金再到這個寺廟來供養三寶，老和尚叫他的徒弟為她迴向。她非常驚訝，向老和尚請教。老和尚講：「過去妳供養兩文錢是出自真心，那個功德大，我不親自為妳迴向，對不起妳；現在妳帶的金錢雖然多，妳的心沒有以前那樣真誠，所以布施的錢雖多，福報很小，我的徒弟給你迴向就夠了。」

從這個地方我們就知道什麼是修大福？

真誠心。凡是大富大貴之人做這些好事，沒有真誠恭敬心，都是吩咐下面的人替他去辦，所以所修的都是小福。佛經講親手布施，誠誠懇懇，福報最大。

妻斬夫頭《雜譬喻經》

佛世有一大臣，相士決其兵死，日夜以兵自衛，至執劍而臥。一日，請佛詰朝赴齋，佛不受，告其國王曰：「此臣今夜必死。」是夕，有四臣亦在其家防守，其妻見夫熟睡，代為執劍。未幾，妻亦睡去，落劍斷頭。國王聞之，疑四臣與婦有私，俱斷其右手。阿難問佛何因，佛言：「其夫前世作牧羊兒，婦為白母羊，四臣爾時，同為劫賊，見兒牧羊，同舉右手，指羊謂兒曰：『殺以食我。』牧兒涕泣從之。以是因緣，輾轉酬報。」

王女犯戒受鬼報《雜寶藏經》

佛世一鬼王有五百子，幼者名嬪伽羅，其母兇暴，食人兒女。世尊取其幼子覆缽內，鬼母飛行天下，七日不得。問佛所在，佛言：「汝子五百，僅失其一，何故愁憂？世人生子，豈不愛惜，汝何食之？」答言：「我今若得嬪伽羅者，更不殺世人之子。」佛示鬼母缽處，鬼母同五百子取之，盡神力不能動，還求世尊。佛言：「若受三歸五戒，當還汝子。」鬼即依佛敕。佛言：「好持是戒。汝是迦葉佛時羯肌王女，以不持戒，受是鬼報。」

防癌須知：

1. No plastic containers in micro.

不要將塑膠盒放入微波爐加熱

2. No water bottles in freezer.

不要將塑膠水瓶放入冰箱

3. No plastic wrap in microwave.

不要將塑膠袋放入微波爐加熱

Dioxin chemicals causes cancer, especially breast cancer.
Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies.
Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic.

戴奧辛化學物質會導致癌症，尤其是乳癌。按戴奧辛對體內細胞具很高之毒性，因而千萬別將裝有水之塑膠罐放入冰箱，因為它亦會將戴奧辛釋出。

Recently, Dr.. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Castle Hospital , was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers.

前不久Dr. Edward Fujimoto在電視節目中談到健康之風險，他就強調戴奧辛對健康是多麼有害，因而請千萬不要用塑膠容器放入微波爐加熱食物。

This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food. You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else.

這尤其是指含有脂肪之食物，當脂肪與高溫與塑膠結合時，塑膠即會釋放出戴奧辛並進入食物中，最終就進入體內之細胞。因而他建議使用玻璃器皿作為加熱食物用，因為它一樣可使食物變熱，然卻少了戴奧辛。

Paper isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons.

紙是不錯的容器，然你無法瞭解紙裡到底含有什麼物質，因而較安全之容器是冶煉過的玻璃器皿，如康寧器皿等等。他提醒為何前不久速食店將泡沫塑料容器改為紙容器，其中戴奧辛就是問題之一

Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

同時他亦指出塑膠袋；如Saran耐熱塑膠袋用於包裝食物，在微波爐加熱時亦是非常危險的，因為當食物用微波爐加熱時，高溫會讓毒素由塑膠袋溶解出來進入食物內，所以應用紙包裹食物作替代。
