希拉莉再下一城，證明了甚麼呢？她的出生時間可能搞錯了。
根據老師給我的分析的批註，希拉莉強土要木制，現在再行辰土大運，比劫當旺，運勢轉弱。相反，奧巴馬行卯大運，卯未合了木局，把自己的官煞力度變得非常強盛。
然而，老師質疑，二人的出生時間是否真的如普遍所相信的？據他判斷，雖然希拉莉34-53行甲寅和乙卯全木大運，使得夫運非常強，但本命的寅為「獨煞」，強到盡，也不可能出到一個兩任的美國總統；此外，如果她的確是生於辰時（戌時亦然），在丙辰大運中已洩盡了氣（丙火消掉她寅木，寅木亦完全無法制旺土），她的夫／事業運勢早應該就一落千丈，怎還能選得上參議員，還出來角逐全球最有權力領袖的寶座？更重要的是，假如克林頓先生是那棵「獨煞」，他就不會那樣不停偷食，因為寅為驛馬，並非桃花，單是天干地支的丁壬假合，或寅戌間有個暗拱桃花（午。子午卯酉為桃花），希拉莉也不一定有那樣「長期鹹濕」的老公（她大概說過他有病）。
因此，按照老師的計算，希拉莉的出生時間，應該在早上5-7的卯時（流傳她母親半夜入院，她出生在「早餐時間」*）。假如是生於乙卯時，她命中的官煞非常旺，而且氣勢迫人，夫又貼實桃花星（連自己也有桃花）；更重要是，行到丙火大運，燒掉老公卻仍生旺自己，行到辰土大運，那更不得了：寅卯辰形成一個完整的木局，再加上戊子年下半年行水，水木雙生，那種氣勢，就是正在走運的奧巴馬也望塵莫及了。
*這種以飯餐為寄認的記錯並非不普遍，一位朋友一直以為自己生於11-13點的午時，因為母親一直記著：孩子出生不久就午飯時間，孩子爸還不趕來！然而，經過多番推敲，她應該是生於9-11點的巳時。又一位朋友，實牙實齒的說自己半夜出世，查問之下，卻原來是傍晚。

有位小朋友最近迷上了希拉莉， 堅忍的女人憂國憂民，讓淚水在眼眶裡打轉，感染力恰到好處。說到尾，女人出來從政，最肉緊的，多半是為了「要做點事」；但當然做甚麼你就甭管了。
說回頭，小朋友問我：希拉莉會勝出初選嗎？我就叫她找來希拉莉與奧巴馬的生辰八字看看。其實，美國那邊的星象學者一直在研究希拉莉的星盤，問題是，無論是希拉莉還是奧巴馬，都無法準確記得自己的出生時間。關於希拉莉，主流確認的出生時間為早上八時和晚上八時，我把兩個時間開了八字命盤，二者是一個層次的差別。我認為，假如希拉莉出生時間為晚上八時（壬戌），她應該能較輕易勝出，因為丙辰大運中的「辰」，可把她討厭的競爭者一口氣沖開（一辰沖二戌），壬丙相沖亦令湖海生輝，事業更上一層樓，這不是沒有可能的；然而，從她在1991-2000的婚姻事件，我認為她亦有很大機會是生於早上八時（丙辰），因為在乙卯大運裡，出現了寅卯辰匯木局，事業與夫星的突然強大，表面很威風，但平衡被破壞，令一方面出現了連續十年夫星與比肩（別的女人）產生暗拱／合象的情況 ，另方面官煞太旺亦偒害日元（自身）。當然，有另一種看法是不看時柱，單乙庚合金及寅卯半木局已足以傷害她的夫星及日元，但這種傷害應不及上面所提及的大。
回到論選舉，我想論選舉，要先看二人的事業、人緣，和氣勢。有一個有趣的觀察：希拉莉與奧巴馬，二人都屬土，希拉莉是陽土、奧巴馬是陰土，同樣，希拉莉的八字陽剛氣十足，而奧巴馬剛好相反——但在八字的世界裡，一切要看情況而定，強弱陰陽，可以是毫無意義的，看下去就會明白。
====
希拉莉：
本命屬土，次強
旺土、火，命乾燥
亥寅合木、寅亥相穿
忌：土、火、木
喜／用：水、金
本來，女命日元坐煞、夫坐夫位，代表夫與事業的寅又為火土之長生，本造的事業／婚姻本該非常完美；可惜，寅旁邊的戌和辰（比肩），每逢行午火和卯木運時就會把寅劫走或谷得太盡，同時暗拱成局（第三者），變成太旺的火或木，若此時無金之保護，就會傷害自身。本造的食傷恰到好處，但行乙木時會因乙庚合金而突然強大，與強木起衝突。而且，強木尅強土，夫妻關係難以和諧。因此，本造愛木又忌木。
財方面，本來用來生旺木的亥水與寅產生合象而加強了木（亥的藏干為甲與壬，也暗暗與天干的丁壬合木）、或二者產生穿破而互害，而庚金不生水，故本造其實相當旺木而需要更大量的水；故本造絕不是以財生官，反而，自己的環境和錢都以事業發展為中也。幸有辰土，辰藏乙木三分癸，適量生旺官煞星。另方面，燥土不生金，本命食傷不足以傷害官煞星；本命亦身強可敵煞，太多生旺自己的印星（火）反成劫財奪食。
現行丙辰大運的下五年，以辰為主。我認為丙辰對本造是有利的，一方面子辰會水，生旺她的木，而丙又小小洩她的木、辰小小加強自己，又同時與木維持平衡。戌子流年，上半年行戌會競爭得較為辛苦，下半年會較順利。
用人話來講，就是希拉莉某程度霸道但願意與人合作、為人揀善而固執，雖有才華，但懂得適可而止。她做事有分寸，但感情生活可用「苦命」來形容。
======
奧巴馬：
本命屬土，甚強
旺土、強金，命較濕寒
乙辛沖、丑未沖
忌：金
喜／用：火
本來，本造多沖：食神沖官煞、比肩又全沖，但日柱中的日元和印卻完全沒受影響，令命勢強盛。本造無財生煞，但辛丑干支都是帶水的，丑為金之墓庫，水為財亦為妻，本造二者俱美。雖然本造比劫（比肩）眾多，自己沖自己，而丑未沖為多阻滯，但同時亦削弱了比劫與自己爭奪的力量（幫不到也害不到）。
加上雖然二辛沖乙木，但乙木為草，受刀片修整，借煞生權，反為美。食神是本造的福星，但某程度對官煞星造成太多尅制，令本造過於。
現行辛卯大運的下五年，以卯為主。辛的再加強代表傷官傷盡，無王管，但行卯成卯未木局，把事業運推往高峰，不再受食傷所沖。在食傷與官煞都加強的條件下，他會贏到很多人的掌聲和支持。然而，戌子流年，對本造不一定有利，一是戊制水力量大，二子與未相穿害，減弱了事業運勢頭。
用人話來講，就是奧巴馬口才很好，發揮力一流，但得把口，太過開放和憑自己喜好去處事，只能是魅力領袖，難以幹實。
=====
我的看法是，雖說命裡有時終須有，但命運並不絶對，真正有料的人是不會懷才不遇的，尤其懂得發揮自己的人。作為一個只是學了一年八字的初中級學生，我不想在這裡作任何斷言，但讀者看完我的條款分析，太概也知道我屬意誰人了。干爸爹呀！

終於如願以償，
在限定兩小時內，
完成十公里路程。
起步之際，
看著身邊的人健步如飛刷身而過，
真的想提起腿跑，
但心知肚明自己的心臟筋肌，
是無法負荷跑步的巨大運動量。
最後，還是懷著安忍的心情，
用自己能力內最大、最快的步速，
保持一吸一呼的節奏，
無論上坡還是下坡都不改變、不停頓，
一步一步、挺起胸膛，
直到走過終點。
原來，最後衝線靠的，
是量力而為，和堅持不放棄的毅力。

THE IMPERMANCE OF LIFE
Everything that is born is bound to die. Nobody has ever seen anyone or heard of anyone in any realm – even in the world of the gods – who was born but never died. In fact, it never even occurs to us to wonder whether a person will die or not. It is a certainty.
Breathing gently, people enjoy their slumber. But between one breath and the nest there is no guarantee that death will not slip in. To wake up in good health is an event which truly deserves to be considered miraculous, yet we take it completely for granted.
Although we know that we are going to die one day, we do not really let our attitudes to life be affected by the ever-present possibility of dying. We still spend all our time hoping and worrying about our future livelihood, as if we were going to live forever. We stay completely involved in our struggle for well-being, happiness and status – until, suddenly, we are confronted by Death wielding his black noose, gnashing ferociously at his lower lip and baring his fangs.
Then nothing can help us. No soldier’s army, no ruler’s decrees, no rich man’s wealth, no scholar’s brilliance, no beauty’s charms, no athlete’s fleetness – none is of any use.
Death cannot be fought off by any warrior, ordered away by the powerful, or paid off by the rich. Death leaves nowhere to run to, no place to hide, no refuge, no defender or guide. Death resists any recourse to skill or compassion. Once our life has run out, even if the Medicine Buddha himself were to appear in person he would be unable to delay our death.
So, reflect sincerely and meditate on how important it is from this very moment onwards never to slip into laziness and procrastination, but to practise the true Dharma, the only thing you can be sure will help at the moment of death.

A meditation on golf(this meditation was done on 17/8/2005 after i played a 18 holes game in spring city golf club, kunming)
Although has been hijacked and mistaken as a rich MAN's game, to me, learning golf has a very dear personal reason, and it is a sport, not a class. More important, playing golf is a form of dharma practice to me.
Firstly, golf teaches you to be humble and to understand the impermanence of life. Although pros will play more stable than us ams, the ups and downs are dramatic, thus, we are made to get used to the come and go of good fortune and bad luck.
Just take these two days of game as an example: ok, wonderful tee off, then shitty second shot; then ball is hit to the rough, dropped into the pond; and suddenly a very nice chip and nice putt, or other combainations of course. Then here comes the rain, or even thunder, when you have to rush back to the clubhouse for protection, then storm is gone after a while, you go back, lose your rhythm, and the green becomes very slow after the rain, and you putt like shit. It had become quite cold when it rained, and suddenly, the sun comes out and you start to feel hot even in that thousand dollar hi-tech raincoat, and it is so lucky u have put on sun-block just BEFORE it rains!!
Oh but the sequence has not stopped yet. Not many sports will make you so frantic yet frustrated: maybe you play quite well today, but you may lose all your feelings and rhythm tomorrow and you feel like you have never learnt how to play golf!
So, as a golfer, the first thing you need to learn and accept is the impermance of life, and to understand nothing should be taken for granted: thus not to get over excited or over frustrated by no matter shot you made, cos it comes and will be gone after one moment. That's why advanced golfers know how important it is to control one's emotions and stays calm all the way. There is no rival in golf, your sole enemy is yourself.
And yes, the rumour is right. It demands tremendous concentration and awareness in the golf game. When there are so many conditions where you cannot control, concentration is or is not one of them. This is paradoxical: try hard to relax. While you cannot do that in meditation, you cannot do that in golf either. It is about the middle way. But what is THE middle way? It takes us lives to get hold of this, and this takes golfers years of personal maturity to get hold of it too.
Just take the simplist example: holding the grip, this is most basic. Teachers say: imagine you are holding a bird in your hands......gosh! Just try to do that while you are using your whole body to do a powerful high speed shot!
And regarding body and wholeness. I realised this long ago. While people say golf is a mind game, it is very obvious, as simple as a swing, is a dialogue and negotiation between body and mind, and among your head, shoulders, arms, hands, fingers, back, hip, butts, thighs, knees, ankles and feet. Just to make them all co-ordinate and move as a whole - in sequence of course, and in good rhythm within one second.....then feelings follow.
Not even to mention the game is so delicate that sometimes you can't play well because some very tiny deep muscle has not been tuned up!
Fatigue and forcing yourself to continue (the wrong way) is one of the biggest mistakes in golf, so you need to learn to let go, be patient and forgiving to yourself, be compassionate and respectful, even to the patch of grass that has been dug out by you.
Never refuse help. Refusing to learn from a qualified teacher is another biggest mistake. Just like on the road of dharma practising, the way of a golfer got lost all the time too, and that is the reason why we need teachers to take us back to the right path. When one day you feel like you don't know how to swing at all, just like when I get fucked up at work matters I get furious and out of control, I repent immediately and turn to my teacher. It doesn't matter, just remember we are all here to learn, about life, and life is but a golf game.

there is a way we can explain the buddhist thought of "karma".
many ppl think that "karma" equals to "sin" in christianity. but it is not.
let's imagine karma is a super computing system of a bank. each of us, from an ant to a human, has our own account in this bank.
each time we do anyting - yes, karma can be analogue as "thing done" to some extend - a mark will be added to our account: good karma, bad karma, and netural karma. eating, drinking, sleeping, having sex, daily life with no other complication, are non-marked karma.
and any other things done can be catergorized and become credit or debit numbers in our account.
on the other hand, we save and spend karma at the same time. when we are having good "luck", we are spending our good karma, and when we have bad "luck", we are indeed repaying our bad karma.
but then we can do good investments to increase our income of good karma, which, to certain extend, can over-write some of our bad debts.
this is the reason why when we have the wind on our side, we should be more humble and act double good by helping oneself and others to strive to be good, so we won't overdraft our bank account but bring more income instead.
when think about THE lee family, i use this analogy. these ppl must have saved tremendous good karma in their past lives, but by doing so many evil deeds, they are indeed overdrafting their account in a terrible speed. although they can save some good karma by donating money to the poor and the needies, that is very tiny investment. what is most important is what our mind initiate, not what we do. all of us do wrong things, not much bad karma will be accumulate if we do not do it intentionally and if we repent and try to save the situation; but if we do bad things intentionally for an evil cause, the bad karma is double plus double.
i really feel sorry for this monstrous family, and all the ppl who help them to do evil when they actually know about it.
