亲爱的朋友们,

与西方医学相比之下,我更喜欢使用自然疗法来调节和治愈我们的身体。自然疗法是整体的,与我们的身体相互和谐配合,也很安全几乎没有任何副作用。因此,当我或我的学生们健康出现问题时,我通常都会选择中药和自然自制疗法。

我喜欢预防性药物,因为它可以在任何损害发生之前阻止疾病恶化。预防比治愈和从疾病复原要容易得多。预防性药物也非常具有成本效益,也能够减少个人因生病而受的痛苦

我对有关超级食物的文章都很感兴趣。最近我无意间发现了有关辣木树的纪录片。由于辣木树含有大量的益处,它也被称为奇迹之。我希望在这里和大家分享种种辣木树神奇的益处,也希望大家的身体健康、充满朝气、免受病痛的折磨。

辣木是一种容易种植的植物,在塞内加尔和贝宁等国家辣木树是孩童和母亲营养不良的可持续解决方案。在这些国家,孩童因为缺乏母乳而出现营养不良的症状。 哺乳中的母亲会食用辣木叶粉以增加其产乳量。哺乳母亲有了足够的母乳喂养孩子,孩子们也因此不再面临营养不良的问题。

如何服用辣木补充剂以获得我们日常的营养需求:

  • 儿童每日的建议服用量为1颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 成人每日的建议服用量为3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于1500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 哺乳中的母亲建议服用量为早、午、晚一汤匙辣木叶粉,把它加入食物中以增加产乳量。

 

它富含抗氧化剂

Antioxidants

辣木提供丰富的强效抗氧化剂,如山奈酚、玉米素、槲皮素、芦丁和绿原酸以及咖啡酰奎宁酸。这些抗氧化剂是抗击我们体内自由基的化合物。自由基对身体非常有害,因为它们会破坏细胞,导致衰老和疾病。体内高水平的自由基可引起氧化应激。

山萘酚和槲皮素两种抗氧化剂,很可能是辣木提供的许多健康益处来源。在氧化过程中,游离氧自由基与蛋白质结构化脂肪酸的电子结合,然后它们会自身稳定,同时又让脂肪酸的离子电荷处于不稳定状态。由于细胞膜的结构取决于脂肪酸的稳定性,当细胞膜遇到会对生物体产生不利影响的自由基时它就会自动分解。与氧化有关的疾病包括阿尔茨海默病、帕金森病、类风湿性关节炎、2型糖尿病、多发性硬化等等。

槲皮素和山奈酚这样的抗氧化物质可以与自由基结合来减缓氧化过程。因此,它们能够保护细胞膜免于分解并降低身体急性和慢性疾病的风险。

除此之外,辣木含有抗氧化维他命能和我们体内的抗氧化物质很好的配合发挥功用。例如硒,它是一种抗氧化剂,它可以减少炎症并且增强我们体内的免疫力。 它和维他命E能够很好的配合。

MMT16

辣木叶在辣木树的不同部位中具有最高的抗氧化剂含量。因此,人们可以食用辣木叶子来享受这种益处。

  • 儿童每日的建议服用量为1颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 成人每日的建议服用量为3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于1500毫克的辣木叶粉

 

降低血液中的胆固醇

研究证明服用辣木能够提高血液中的胆固醇水平、逆转坏胆固醇。它含有β-谷甾醇,这是一种阻止体内低密度脂质(LDL)积聚的营养素。当LDL在血管中积聚时,它可能导致动脉中斑块的形成。

成人每天可以服用3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相当于1500毫克的辣木叶粉以达到降低血液中的胆固醇的效果。

MMT4

 

降低血糖水平和控制糖尿病

研究证明每天食用辣木叶有助于控制糖尿病受试者的血糖水平。辣木的抗氧化特性似乎对负责调节血糖水平的胰岛素具非常有效的积极作用。

我们体内的自由基可以改变胰岛素分子的结构,让它们不再能够发挥调节血液中葡萄糖的功能。辣木提取物已经在糖尿病组和对照组大鼠上测试过了,它的效果与抗糖尿病药物格列本脲相当。

成人每天可以服用3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相当于1500毫克的辣木叶粉以达到降低血液中的胆固醇的效果。

 

保护肝脏

辣木提取物对肝脏起到保肝作用。辣木叶被证明可有效对抗抗结核药物引起的肝损伤并加速恢复过程。它还有助于恢复肝脏中天然存在的谷胱甘肽水平。谷胱甘肽在解毒反应中起着关键作用。

成人每天可以服用3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相当于1500毫克的辣木叶粉以达到降低血液中的胆固醇的效果。

MMT7

 

治疗胃病

传统上,辣木被用于治疗许多胃肠道疾病。辣木中的异硫氰酸酯可用于治疗便秘、胃炎和溃疡性结肠炎等胃病。它对溃疡性结肠炎的治愈效果与市售药物泼尼松龙的功效相当。

辣木还含有抗生素和抗菌特性,可抑制各种病原体的生长,其中包括可引起胃部严重问题的幽门螺杆菌。因此,它具有良好的胃溃疡愈合作用。

  • 儿童每日的建议服用量为1颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 成人每日的建议服用量为3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于1500毫克的辣木叶粉

 

护肤和护发

辣木种子富含抗氧化剂、抗炎和抗菌特性,因此对皮肤护理非常有益。辣木种子的油可以用作保湿剂或治疗皮疹和晒伤。辣木籽油的保湿和解毒作用也有助于中和有害污染物的影响,防止皱纹和老化。

MMT8

 

预防癌症的特性

一些研究成功地将辣木(Moringa Oleifera)用于癌症预防和癌症治疗。当细胞凋亡率和细胞增殖丧失平衡时,就会出现癌症。当细胞增殖的速率高于细胞死亡的速率时,也很可能形成肿瘤。

辣木中有许多化合物都具有抗癌特性,如丁子香酚、D-阿洛糖、异硫氰酸盐和十六烷酸。研究显示,在辣木树皮中发现的丁子香酚具有很强的抗黑色素瘤、骨肉瘤、白血病、胃癌、皮肤癌、乳腺癌和前列腺癌的特质。

在对分离出的人类肿瘤细胞进行辣木叶提取物测试时,研究人员发现,与化疗药物顺铂相比,该提取物保持了相似的抗增殖率(细胞增殖过程)。在另一项研究中,辣木叶提取物“杀死”了密度超过70%的两种白血病和肝癌细胞。因此通过抗增殖和辣木叶提取物的剂量浓度,我们是可能调节肿瘤的。

有趣的是,辣木提取物的抗氧化特性似乎也有助于细胞死亡过程。

  • 儿童每日的建议服用量为1颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 成人每日的建议服用量为3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于1500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 哺乳母亲每日建议在早、午、晚餐中加入一汤匙的辣木粉帮助母乳的生产量。

MMT17

 

改善骨骼健康

由于其高钙和磷含量辣木提取物有益于维持骨骼的健康。辣木还具有抗炎作用,因此可缓解关节炎等疾病。辣木还含有多种微量营养素,在骨骼健康和钙吸收中发挥关键作用,如硼、维生素C、镁、钾等。

根据研究,辣木能保护骨骼并对骨骼具有神奇的作用,同时具有预防骨质疏松症的功效。植物雌激素和黄酮类化合物对骨骼有非常正面的作用,它可以刺激骨细胞的增殖、分化和骨矿化。

  • 儿童每日的建议服用量为1颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于500毫克的辣木叶粉
  • 成人每日的建议服用量为3颗辣木叶粉胶囊,相等于1500毫克的辣木叶粉

辣木树皮

辣木树皮广泛用作动物饲料,对牛和猪特别有营养。如果没有其他植物,这些动物可以只是依赖辣木树皮生存。辣木树皮如占猪和牛饲料的四分之三最为理想。

辣木树皮具有非常浓缩的抗生素特性,可以有效地治疗疾病和其他疾病。它是从痛风到性病甚至关节炎的有效治疗方法。然而因为辣木树皮中化合物的浓度非常高,使用时必须小心谨慎。

MMT12

 

辣木籽

辣木籽是最有营养和最有用的植物产品之一。它具多功能可以以多种方式使用,包括作为药物、营养补充剂以及用于工业和农业目的。辣木籽既可以新鲜使用,也可以晒干使用,或者是与种子荚一起食用。

研究证明辣木籽能够缓解许多病痛,例如痛风、性病、泌尿系统感染、疮甚至癫痫。当被用作药物时,辣木籽必须被压碎并与椰子油混合使用。一般上,从辣木种子中提取的种子油可以用于代替压碎的种子。

 

现代医学用途

辣木种子的抗生素特性已经在实验室测试中得到证实。由于辣木树中存在一种天然的抗生素,因此它可以用来治疗真菌感染。

 

营养价值

辣木籽的食用法和绿豌豆一样。辣木籽提供浓缩营养素,包括氨基酸、蛋白质和各种维他命和矿物质。这使它成为现代忙碌人们理想的补充剂,并为世界各地营养不良群众的营养来源。

 

净水

辣木籽粉在净化水方面非常有效。 它可以通过连接杂质颗粒将它们沉淀到水底去除杂质。 它对于去除水中有害细菌也非常有效。 辣木籽比硫酸铝和其他常用于净化水的化学品更经济也更安全。

 

农业

磨碎和脱脂的辣木籽可用于补充动物饲料或作为农作物的肥料和加强土壤,使农场能够享受更高的生产力和更好的农业的成果。

 

辣木鼓槌/果实

MMT13

辣木果实几乎与辣木树的其他部分一样,因其高营养价值而备受推崇。由于维他命和微量营养素的多样性能够促进身体健康和帮助治愈疾病,辣木树的果实因此闻名。

 

传统的医疗用途

种子荚在阿育吠陀医学传统中用来治疗与蠕虫和寄生虫有关的疾病。压碎的种子荚可以在局部涂抹以治疗轻微的皮肤炎症、疣和其他感染。种子荚中的油可以减少由于关节炎,风湿病和痛风引起的炎症。

 

现代医学应用

辣木籽荚壳是一种丰富的低成本活性炭来源,是治疗摄入毒物的重要医疗媒介。与其他活性炭来源不同的是辣木籽荚壳在使用前无进行严密的处理工作,它可以用简单的方法操作,即使在没有先进技术的偏远地区也可以很容易的被使用。

 

营养价值

建议服用剂量

如适当使用,口服辣木树的叶子、果实和籽是安全的。但是,我们应该避免食用辣木根和它的提取物因为这个部位可能含有可导致麻痹和死亡的有毒物质。辣木安全食用的剂量每天最多6克,最多服用3周。

  • 辣木油的用量:
    儿童:每次摄入5毫升,每日3次
    成人:每次摄入15毫升,每日3次
  • 辣木叶粉的用量:
    儿童:每次摄入1茶匙,每天3次
    成人:每次摄入1汤匙,每天3次
  • 辣木种子的用量:
    成人:每次摄入2粒辣木种子,每天2次

 

辣木与其他药物一起使用的风险

  • 左旋甲状腺素:用于对抗甲状腺问题。辣木叶中的化合物可能有助于甲状腺功能,但人们不应该将其与其他甲状腺药物联合使用。
  • 糖尿病药物:糖尿病药物用于降低血糖,辣木也有这样的功效。保持血糖水平不会过低是至关重要。辣木也会降低作为糖尿病药物的西他列汀的抗高血糖作用。
  • 高血压药物:辣木已被证明可有效降低血压。如将辣木与其他降低血压的药物一起服用可能会导致它血压得太低。
  • 细胞色素P450的基板,包括CYP3A4:可能会增加这些药物副作用的风险。
  • 孕妇:辣木树皮可能导致子宫收缩。有些时候辣木会被用于诱导流产。

 

辣木粉或胶囊

MMT19

新鲜的辣木叶和干辣木叶的营养价值并没有差异。但是以粉状形式服用辣木最为理想。 一汤匙辣木粉能够提供我们每日所需的营养。粉末形态的辣木树生物利用度比其他形态强,主要是因为营养素被浓缩成一个容易食用的形态。然而,如以胶囊形式服食一克辣木粉,您每天就需要服用好几粒胶囊,这或许会有些昂贵。

 

辣木用于动物

MMT20

由于辣木富含维他命、矿物质、蛋白质、抗氧化剂、抗炎剂和欧米茄油3、6和9,因此它是所有动物包括狗、猫、兔子、乌龟等一般家养宠物的极佳补充品。

辣木具有很高的吸收率,因此您的宠物能够吸收所有必需的营养素,食用的益处包括:

  • 促进消化
  • 加强关节、肌肉骨骼和牙齿
  • 减少脂肪和增强肌肉的发展
  • 加强免疫系统

辣木不仅能对动物的身体产生良好的作用,最重要的是它的作用是完整性的。

辣木对整个系统、身理、心理和情绪的影响:

  • 辣木能让您的宠物感觉良好。它含有大量的镁,如缺镁会导致抑郁症。辣木可减轻压力,增加体内“快乐激素”,营造健康的身、心灵。
  • 辣木可以放松身体,能对过度活跃情绪产生镇静作用。辣木中的植物维生素能够缓解焦虑和恐慌。辣木对抗压对应力具有有利影响并能提供持久的能量 (尤其是对受惊的马非常有益)。

一般动物每天可摄取2克到5克的辣木粉,实际的剂量则因动物的体重而异。

当用作为狗的饮食补充剂时,典型的剂量是:

  • 小型犬(最多20磅)为¼ – ½ 茶匙
  • 中型犬(20-50磅)为1茶匙
  • 大型犬(50-100磅)为2茶匙
  • 特大型犬(超过100磅)为1汤匙

如何种植辣木树

MMT22

 

如何剪枝栽种:

    辣木树木每年停止生产果实之后,其树枝必需被切断以便让新的树枝生长。这些枝桠非常适拿来种剪枝栽种新树。

  • 剪下直径至少为1英寸(2.5厘米),长度至少为6英尺(1.8米)的树枝。
  • 挖一个3英尺宽(1米)x 3英尺长(1米)和3英尺(1米)深的洞。
  • 将剪枝植入洞里,然后填满以泥土、沙子和堆肥混合的土壤。将土壤结实地堆在剪枝的基部周围,形成轻微的圆顶或圆锥形状,向下倾斜并远离剪枝,尽量避免让水接触新树的茎。
  • 灌溉大量的水,但不要让剪枝浸在水中。

在印度,一般的习惯是将一些牛粪堆放在剪枝的开口端。这是保护剪枝免受害虫侵害的绝佳方法。

 

以种子栽种:

辣木种子没有休眠期,可以在成熟后立即种植。

 

种植在土地中:

    以辣木种子种植辣木树最好的方法是直接把它种植在树木生长的地方,而不是移植幼苗。由于幼苗很脆弱,它往往在移植后无法生存。直接在土地中以种子种植辣木树:

  • 选择一个轻质和沙质土壤的区域,不要把辣木种植在高粘土含量或浸水区。
  • 挖一个1英尺(30厘米)正方形和1英尺深的洞。 再将松散的土壤填满挖好的洞。虽然辣木树能在贫瘠的土壤中生长,但是如用堆肥或粪肥的话它们会帮助树木更好地生长。
  • 在每个洞中栽种3至5粒种子,每颗种子之间相隔2英寸(5厘米)。种子在洞里的深度不超过种子宽度的三倍(约1/2英寸或1.5厘米)。
  • 保持土壤的湿润度,确保土壤上层不会干燥而阻碍树苗的生长。土壤也不应该太潮湿,否则种子会因浸在水中而腐烂。
  • 当树苗长到4至6英寸时,将最健康的树苗留下取出其余的树苗。这个时候必须采取措施保护树苗小心白蚁和线虫,它们会侵害树苗导致树苗死亡。

注意:如果土壤很有重量,则必须挖一个直径大至3英尺(90厘米),深3英尺的洞,并用1份沙子和2份原始土壤回填。如果再添加堆肥或粪肥的话对植物会有所帮助。

MMT23

 

种植在塑料袋中:

    如果无法直接把辣木树种植在地下,请使用以下方法:

  • 在幼苗袋中填满轻质土壤混合物,即3份土壤、1份沙子。
  • 在每个袋中种植两到三粒种子,把种子埋在1/4英寸(0.5厘米)深处。
  • 保持湿润但不要太潮湿。种子会在两周内开始发芽。发芽后每个袋子只留一棵树苗,然后把其他的树苗去除。
  • 树苗在4到6个月、长至2-3英尺(60-90厘米)高后即可移植。

 

移植

    种植树木的土壤应该要轻质和多沙,不要种植在粘土或浸水的土地。

  • 挖一个1英尺(30厘米)正方形和1英尺深的洞。再将松散的土壤填满挖好的洞。如在土壤中加入堆肥或粪肥的话它们会帮助树木更好地生长。
  • 在移植幼苗的前一天在要种植树苗的洞内浇水。
  • 树苗移植到地面后的第一天应避免曝晒在强烈的阳光底下,所以在傍晚移植最为理想。
  • 将种植树苗填满泥土的洞拨开加入塑料袋中的土。小心地把塑料袋割开,把树苗移植入洞中。移植时避免弄断树苗的根。
  • 在树苗基处周围堆积并压实土壤。
  • 在移植树苗的头几天只需浇少量的水
  • 如果树苗向下垂并倒下,可以棍子作为支柱把树苗绑在棍子上。这个时候必须采取措施保护树苗小心白蚁和线虫。

文字稿

维琪多明哥:其他的蔬菜没有这种味道,你会越吃越好吃,然后你会一直想要吃。

这个夏威夷农夫说的不是蔬菜,而是一种树。这种树的好处远不止于维琪多明哥提及的非比寻常味道。

维琪多明哥:你一直不停的吃然后你会觉得你的身体越来越有活力,越来越健康,你会看到变化。你不累了,你一直往前冲,你会一直很有活力。你必须这样一个一个把它们摘下。

多明哥说她在园子种植这种树已经超过25年了。她常年收割辣木树叶,每个星期收割两次。

每个星期多明哥会运送上千磅的辣木树叶到大陆去。剩下的辣木树叶她都会带到檀香山的农夫市场去卖,她那里的顾客这一辈子都在吃这个树叶。

维琪多明哥:菲律宾还是一个发展中国家,所以并不富有。我们负担不起医疗费。因此我们在日常生活中都在吃这个来保持活力,摄取维他命以补充我们身体每天所需要的营养。

这种树叫做辣木树,在菲律宾它被称为马伦该。

维尔麦科拉切博士:在许多文化里人们会将一种或更多的植物作为本身的标记。当他们想到这些植物时,他们就会想到自己。

维尔麦科拉切博士是一位来自檀香山大学的民族植物学家。他主要在研究人类和植物之间的互动。

维尔麦科拉切博士:如果你在檀香山四处开车你会看到很多房子的院子都有至少一棵辣木树,有些甚至是辣木林。看到辣木树你就知道这是一户菲律宾家庭。

维琪多明哥:我们常常开玩笑的说辣木树是我们菲律宾的旗帜也就是菲律宾的国旗。当你看到辣木树你就知道房子里住了菲律宾人。

多明哥说辣木树含有许多营养和具有疗效功用。

维琪多明哥:辣木树的每一个部分都有它的用途,从它的根部到茎、叶子、花、还有荚。它的根可以拿来泡茶,你也可以把它的树皮刮下然后把它的汁压榨出来敷在割伤的皮肤上让伤口愈合。

一些对辣木树的说法可能是民间故事,但是辣木树在一些文化被用做草药已有千年历史。维尔麦科拉切说辣木树有特殊的营养性质,有这样的声誉是无可厚非的。

维尔麦科拉切博士:辣木树是其中一种能够满足大量基本需要的多功能植物。当习惯了使用辣木树之后人们会很难想象没有辣木树的日子。

辣木树也变成了许多文化里的一部分,很难割舍。现今辣木树已经被用作药物,基本上在许多全世界最热的区域辣木树是他们的多种维他命。

维尔麦科拉切博士:在非洲和南亚地区辣木树都被广泛使用。辣木树在被引入南美洲和中美洲后也被当地人接受并使用。所以辣木树绝对不只是单一社群使用的植物。

马克奥尔森博士:我们今天早上才和这里的其中一位园主聊天,他说前一会儿他在这里满手都是辣木树叶,他一整个上午都在处理这些树叶,他感觉非常好。

马克奥尔森博士是一名植物学家,同时也是辣木树的领先专家。他在位于墨西哥墨西哥城的墨西哥国立大学的生物学院教学。他现在正在探访一个新开发离开市区2个小时的辣木树农场。

马克奥尔森博士:他们刚刚种了这些。不久这些植物会变得又美又大。

奥尔森说除了墨西哥和夏威夷非常适合辣木树的生长之外,辣木树在干旱的亚热带地区如非洲和南印度还有辣木树能够生存的炎热地区都是属于原生植物。

马克奥尔森博士:辣木树在一些条件不好又干又热、其他植物很难培育的地方都能够很好的生长。看看这块根,这是其中一个辣木树能够在干燥地区生存得这么好的原因。辣木树也在树干储存了很多水,这也是为何辣木树是一种异乎寻常的树。它们没有很深的根。因此,辣木树能够生存是因为它们有很深的根是一个迷思。辣木树把水储存在它们的根部还有树干。

奥尔森说辣木树虽然看起来零乱,但是它绝对不是仅仅在求存而已。

马克奥尔森博士:我不觉得它们是最吸引人的树。它们张开的树叶让它们看起来就像你们身边的一些邋遢朋友或邋遢狗令人喜爱。它们因为树上大量的果实而下垂,这就是令辣木树非常独特的原因,它是多么慷慨的一种树。

而且人们也发现了辣木树不同部位包括了籽的各种用途。

马克奥尔森博士:它们还有丰富的油。当你按下它的籽它具有奇妙香气的油马上就渗透出来,你可以用这些油来烹煮也可以拿来做美容产品或润滑剂或其他什么的。还有这块饼,这块被压缩的饼是压榨辣木籽之后剩下的东西,这个东西可以拿来净水。

奥尔森说在很难得到干净水源的发展中国家辣木树的净水功能是很有帮助的。但是辣木树的益处何止这些。

马克奥尔森博士:其他让辣木树更带劲的是它含量高的维他命成分。它的叶子有很高的维他命A。缺乏维他命A是一个全球性的问题。许多人的眼睛发展有问题就是因为缺乏维他命A所导致。

辣木树的维他命A还有其他维他命的成分已经引起世界各地科学家的关注。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:我开始阅读一些有关辣木树的资料,它的抗氧的营养成分和丰富的维他命让我非常惊讶。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士是一名研究许多植物的药理学家。她对辣木树进行过很深入的研究并说到辣木树有很显著的营养效力。辣木树是她最近出版的书“奇迹之树”的其中一个题材。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:对我而言由于我的科学背景和对树的喜爱,因此写一本有关这个非一般、令人感到兴奋万分的树的书其实是一件很自然的事。

玛而簇用了许多时间以药理学家和艺术家的角度观察树木和植物。当大自然摄影师玛而簇在拍摄植物的时候,药理学家玛而簇说她有更多的顾虑。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:癌症、心血管病还有许多慢性疾病越来越普遍,基本上是因为我们没有吃我们应该吃的食物。大多数植物都因为含有特定的营养成分而闻名,例如橘子或柠檬众所皆知它们含高量的维他命C。而菠菜则是因为含铁量高而引起人们的注意。辣木树特别之处是它含多种营养成分而且含量都很高。

玛而簇说由于含有丰富的营养而且热量和盐分含量都和低,因此辣木树是一种辅助典型不太健康的西餐很理想的能量食品或维他命。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:许多西方人都体内都缺乏多数植物所含的抗氧和防衰物质成分。

根据国家健康研究所,抗氧化剂能够保护我们体内的细胞也可能可以防止癌症。玛而簇说辣木树正好含有丰富的抗氧化剂能够很好的保护我们体内的细胞。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:抗氧化物质和抗氧化维他命在我们的体内合作无间。例如硒在维生素E的辅助下就能很好的发挥作用。辣木树就含有很高的硒和维生素E。茉妮卡玛而簇博士说一般上植物都含有抗氧化剂但是辣木树也具有高含量的肉类营养。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:众所周知,辣木树是绿色蔬菜蛋白质的很好来源。一般上除了豆类等,大多数蔬菜都不含太多的蛋白质。所以作为绿色蔬菜但又能够提供蛋白质是一件非常不寻常的的事。

当然黄豆也是含有高蛋白质的植物,但是辣木树是却是独一无二的。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:我本身就有食物过敏问题。我对麦类和蛋类过敏,许多人对黄豆也相当过敏,我们认为这是因为黄豆内的蛋白质结构所致。辣木树的蛋白质结构很明显地并不复杂,所以很容易被我们的身体吸收。

据美国农业部,辣木树含有20种氨基酸中的18种。氨基酸是形成人体蛋白质的元素。就如玛而簇所说,辣木树是少数含所有我们人体所需的氨基酸的植物。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:辣木树含有9种我们身体无法生产的氨基酸。这些氨基酸及其比例对我们人体有很大的益处,在这个比例下因为它的生物利用度,我们人体能够很好的吸收这些氨基酸。

我们需要更进一步的研究来确认辣木树所有养分的生物利用度。不幸的是在一些地方如要进行科学研究需要的时间太长了。

罗威尔富立:在大部分撒哈拉以南非洲的地方,大约有20%的婴孩活不过5岁,一些国家甚至高达40%。那些年纪大过5岁的孩童大约半数或以上都有营养不良的问题,此外他们的智力发展也不佳。

这些在脖子和腰围病兆都是因为营养不良而引发。它们目前已经干了,但是之后永久疤痕就会形成。

罗威尔富立曾经在塞内加尔的教堂世界服务处担任了16年的区域代表,他的使命是帮助地方诊所开发不同的方法来拯救面临营养不良风险的孩童。

罗威尔富立:我觉得我出生在美国的中等阶级家庭而不是非洲丛林里的贫苦家庭、过着营养不良的生活是很一件凑巧的事情。因此我觉得我有义务必须和他人分享我所获得的东西。

90年代后期,在富立对抗营养不良的问题时让他发现了辣木树。

罗威尔富立:辣木树含有比其他蔬菜还要多的维他命和矿物质组合。当时我就想说如果辣木树可以在村子里轻易获取的话那它将是防止营养不良最有效的工具。

富立说他不清楚当时塞内加尔人是否就已经很熟悉辣木树。

罗威尔富立:在和平机构被派驻到森林工作的义工告诉我其实辣木树已经在塞内加尔生长了。

这里的人用辣木树已经好几代了, 只不过他们不称它做辣木树,他们叫它不死植树可能是用来代表辣木树不易死亡的坚韧性。

罗威尔富立:我问所见过的塞内加尔人是否知道不死之树他们都会说:“啊,我母亲会用这树的树叶做酱料。” 我们加它“mboum”。每个塞内加尔人都认识这树。

富立说问题是他们的准备和使用的方法破坏了辣木树的营养成分。

罗威尔富立:他们煮叶子的时间太长了。他们把用来煮叶子的水倒掉,这水其实含有很多的维他命。他们这样做就浪费了辣木树叶所提供的许多好处。

因此富立决定进行两项工作,那就是种植辣木树但是最重要的是教育医务人员如何使用辣木树以解决营养不良的问题。

布朗珊布迪雅达女士:我在1998年接受培训,当时我们就发现使用含大量营养成分的辣木树的益处。因此,我们马上对它进行临床实验。

医疗人员学习怎样种植辣木树、把树叶晒干再把它们磨成粉,保持它们所有的养分。哺乳中的母亲们被告知早、午、晚在他们的食物里加入一匙羹的辣木粉帮助增加她们的乳汁。除此之外也可以把辣木粉加入家人的食物里。

罗威尔富立:当我们把辣木树还有辣木树不同的用途介绍给塞内加尔当地人时,他们的反应是:这是我们的树,你只不过是对我们所知加以补充。

富立说当人们开始改变习惯以后,结果是很明显的,尤其是在小孩群里。

罗威尔富立:他们看起来更开心,更有活力,他们有了笑容。他们刚开始来到诊所时他们的眼神呆滞没有活力,三个星期后你却看到他们长大了、更健康也有了笑容。

布朗珊布迪雅达女士:我们发现使用辣木树比起其他我们之前使用的典型系统例如那些进口又昂贵的产品像是奶粉、糖还有蔬菜油更来得有效。人们只要到城镇去就能轻易地找到辣木叶。

罗威尔富立:即使是我们并没有做些什么辣木树依然继续被使用、继续被推广也继续保持人么对它的看重。辣木树不会死去,它可以自己继续它的生命。

维琪多明哥:你必须天天都吃辣木树叶,孙子们偶尔吃吃。我自己的孩子们都是专业人士,但是他们依然回家吃辣木树叶。

据维尔麦科拉切博士说虽然辣木树被视为民族食品,但是以现在的趋势,辣木树以及其他营养成分很高的植物已经变成主流。

尔麦科拉切博士:我们的饮食虽然在改进但是还是很不健康。其中一个改进的原因就是因为我们开始接受这些植物。

马克奥尔森博士:我曾经到过一些村庄那里唯一活存而且长的很好的树就只有辣木树。一想到辣木树是多么地有用就让人惊叹。

茉妮卡玛而簇博士:以种类及物质浓度来看,辣木树是近乎完美的养分来源。因此辣木树绝对是独一无二的。

由于辣木树含有高量的营养成分、强力的抗炎作用、抗氧化剂、保护身体组织的特性而逐渐大受欢迎成为新一种超级食物。

辣木树也称为辣根树、本树或鼓槌树,它是一种来自印度、巴基斯坦和尼泊尔的乔木。在东方国家辣木树被用来治疗和预防像是糖尿病、心脏病、贫血、关节炎、肝疾病、呼吸道疾病、皮肤病和消化系统不规律的疾病。

辣木已经成为备受欢迎的天然叶片补充粉。它的根部、荚、树皮、花、籽和果实都可以被食用。在传统药方里,辣木树被用来治疗许多疾病。这里是10种具科学证明的、服食辣木叶的健康益处。

它含有丰富的营养成分

辣木是维生素、矿物质和氨基酸的丰富来源。它含有很高的维他命A、C、E、钙质、钾和蛋白质。

它能够抵抗自由基

抗氧化剂能够抵抗造成氧化应激、破坏细胞和造成发炎的自由基。辣木的叶子、花和籽含有黄酮类化合物、多酚和抗坏血酸的抗氧化剂。研究显示辣木树叶萃取比花和籽含有更高的抗氧化活动、自由基清除能力、抑制脂质、蛋白质和DNA的氧化功效。意思就是辣木能防止自由基对体内不同器官细胞的破坏,保持他们的健康和操作。

它能抗炎

发炎会导致如糖尿病、呼吸道疾病、心脏病、关节炎、痴肥等慢性疾病。辣木能够很有效地抑制在我们体内引起发炎的酶和蛋白质;浓缩的辣木叶能够很有效的降低细胞发炎。

它能帮助减低糖尿病症状

辣木叶粉能够很有效的降低油脂、葡萄糖水平和调节糖尿病患者的氧化应激。换言之,辣木能够减低血糖、胆固醇以及促进对细胞的保护功能。

它保护心血管系统

辣木叶粉对心血管系统有很多的益处。尤其是对血脂的控制、防止动脉管壁增厚、降低胆固醇水平。

它保持脑部健康

由于辣木含有抗氧化剂和它增强神经的活动因此它能很好的帮助脑部健康和认知功能。辣木已经被用来进行医治老人痴呆症的实验,初步实验报告的成绩非常理想。它高含量的维生素E、C能够有效的抗氧防止神经元退化,改善脑功能。它也能让神经递质的血清素、多巴胺和去甲肾上腺素正常化。这些对我们的记忆力、心情、器官功能、对刺激物的反应例如压力、乐趣、我们的精神健康如忧郁症和精神病都有很大的关键作用。

它保护肝脏

辣木的叶子和花含有浓度很高,能够防止肝脏氧化、中毒和被损坏的多酚。辣木能够减低肝脏受损程度、防止纤维化和逆向肝脏氧化。辣木油可以恢复肝脏酶的正常水平,减少氧化应激,增加肝脏的蛋白质成分。

它含有抗菌成分

辣木含有对抗感染的抗菌微生物和抗菌成分。它能够有效的对抗造成皮肤、血、尿道炎和造成消化问题的病菌。

它能够加强伤口的愈合力

辣木树的叶子、根部、籽拥有帮助血液凝结的成分因此对伤口的愈合很有帮助,也能有效的减少血液凝固的时间。换言之,辣木可以很快的让伤口止血。

如何使用:

你可以把辣木分加入冰沙或当茶喝。据研究即使是服用比正常剂量还大的辣木粉它对人体还是安全的。辣木有一种很温和的气味,因此清淡的辣木茶会带有浅浅的泥土味。可以的话避免食用辣木籽萃取,它会让我们的免疫细胞中毒。想要安全的把辣木加入你的食物里头有不会造成消化问题的方法就是每天服用½ 到1茶匙的辣木粉。

辣木树 – 奇迹之树

如果把辣木树种植在天然的亚热带土壤,辣木树在成长初期很容易受到微生物和害虫的侵害。避免这个问题最好的解决的方法,就是把辣木籽放在过滤纸或厨房纸巾上让它在潮湿且闷热的环境里萌芽,之后才把树苗移植到户外。

只有在这个时期树苗的根部才比较强壮,这个是Stenopetala种辣木,把它种植在土壤里时小心地把泥土盖上,让充满养分的胚乳露出地面。

现在要种的第二个种类是 Oleifera 辣木。

6月22日,发芽后第44天,幼小的树苗已经适应了他们的栖身之地。不久他们就能够茁壮成长。

我们的辣木树已经长到70公分高了,它会继续往上长高,但是不会向横长出枝桠。但是既然我们主要的目的是让辣木树长出更多的树叶,我们必须剪掉树顶的15到20公分让树向横长出更多的枝桠,增加靠近地面树叶的产量。我们现在就剪了。和之前我们处理小叶片的Oleifera辣木树一样,我们用同样的方法来处理种植在这里的第二个品种Stenopetala辣木。

我们只需要几天的时间就能看到第一个横枝出现。现在是时候进行第二次的修剪好让辣木树能长得茂盛。我们又在树顶往下20到30公分的地方剪枝。剪下来的叶子,我们可以用这个把他们弄干制作首批辣木粉。好了!这里还有一个,我们也剪一剪。

今天是10月21日,辣木树发芽的6个月后。在这6个月里,我们持续剪枝把辣木树的高度维持在1米或60公分左右,以便让辣木树能够长出更多枝桠。虽然我们一直都在剪树枝,但是一些树枝还是长到4米高。旱季即将到来,较下方的树叶将会转黄,也是时侯进行第三次剪树枝了。这次我们会把树剪到1米高。我们会收割这些绿叶,把它们烘干也让这些树在下一个季节长出更多的枝桠和更多的树叶。

这些树叶必须置放在阴凉处,让它们完全变干,之后才能把他们磨成粉好好储存。由于雨季即将来临,空气里的相对湿度已经超过了70%,所以我们必须使用烤箱做最后的烘干过程。

在最后一个烘干辣木叶的步骤,我们会使用烤炉的对流模式,将温度设在40摄氏度进行烘干30分钟。由于没有小网格烹饪炉排, 我们把辣木叶放在干净的棉毛织物上。

把烤炉的门稍微打开让潮湿的空气排出来。最后一个步骤就是用搅拌器把辣木叶磨成粉状。

为什么使用辣木粉?

干的辣木叶含有大部分我们身体所需要的元素。

它含有20种氨基酸中的10种、8种主要的氨基酸、25种抗炎物质。

比胡萝卜多出4倍的维他命A、比牛肝多出4倍的叶酸(维他命B9)、比麦多出4倍的维他命E。

比奶多出4倍的钙质、比香蕉多出15倍的钾、比菠菜多出25倍的铁质、比红酒多出6倍的多酚。

46种抗氧化剂(ORAC值7万6千,是所有植物中含量最高的

含有与鸡蛋一样的蛋白质。

而且,辣木树的其他每一个部分都有它们的用处。

辣木树在发展中国家被用来对抗孩童营养不良的问题。

    Thank you, Rinpoche and the blog team for putting such extensive information here about Moringa for everyone to have a good read. This tree is indeed a miracle tree for its uses and benefits that it can provide. Such a plant that has so many uses and benefits are quite rare.

    People around the world have been using this plant for many years. What makes it amazing is the nutritional value that it contains. Can you believe that one can eradicate malnutrition in children by just eating the leaves of this tree? Not to mention all the other benefits that it has.

    This shows us that mother nature is full of surprises, and there are many “treasures” in the nature that we can use, which has no side effect or chemicals in them.

  2. Pastor Lanse on Jul 2, 2019 at 7:29 pm

    初次接触辣木果实是在印度菜肴中,当时还以为它是“过老”的羊角豆,直到有人告诉我它其实是辣木鼓槌。记得当时对它印象十分深刻,一方面是由于它的名字特别,另一方面则是知道它是属于有药用价值的植物。看到仁波切博客上刊登的这篇资料后,才发现辣木树原来全身都是宝,而且它似乎很容易生长,两天来我发现原来到处都看得到辣木树的踪迹。这实在是一件很值得高兴的事,毕竟食疗总是比药疗来得理想,何况这还是马来西亚到处可见的植物,对平民百姓而言,那可是最便宜健康的保健食物。

  3. Yee Yin on Jun 30, 2019 at 7:31 pm

    我听说过辣木树好一阵子了但是对它的了解也不多,只知道大家都说辣木籽可以治百病,然后接掀起了一股服食辣木籽的热潮。 谢谢仁波切在部落格发表了这篇有关辣木树的文章。这篇文章包含了一切有关辣木树神奇之处,例如如何使用、每个部位的功效、有什么应该注意的事项、如何栽种等,非常全面。

    辣木树的生命力很强,在条件不太好的地方都能生存,营养成分又高,它是一种我们应该在家的院子种植的树。我们可以把它当茶喝,保持身体健康,又可以让我们的宠物食用,真的是太有经济效益了!

    Living with my wife, whose world is meticulously painted with the hues of OCD, is a journey that intertwines the essence of love with the complexities of the human mind. Her relentless pursuit of cleanliness and order, transforming even the most negligible corner into a testament of organization, often dances on the fine line between admiration and frustration. The sight of her steering clear from trash bins as if they were labyrinths of chaos, serves as a poignant reminder of the battles she fights within. Yet, it’s through these very battles that I’ve learned the profound language of patience and the unspoken strength of support. Therapy, in its gentle embrace, has been a beacon of light for her, guiding her through the stormy seas of OCD. It has not only offered her solace but has also unveiled the strength of her spirit, teaching us both the beauty of resilience. As she journeys through the pathways of healing, I stand by her, a testament to the power of love and the enduring promise of hope. Together, we navigate the complexities of her world, discovering that within the challenges lie opportunities for growth, understanding, and an unbreakable bond. https://www.mindfullyaliveonline.com/obsessive-compulsive-disorder-ocd/

    Venerable Ajahn Chah was a Thai Buddhist teacher of the Buddhadhamma and a founder of two major monasteries in the Thai Forest Tradition. Well respected and loved as a man of great wisdom, he was also instrumental in establishing Theravada Buddhism in the West. Interesting life story, how he chose to leave the settled monastic life and became a wandering ascetic. Walking across Thailand, lived in forests, caves and cremation grounds while learning from the meditation monks of the Forest of various monasteries. He wandered through the countryside in quest of quiet and secluded places for developing meditation. He even lived in tiger and cobra infested jungles, using reflections on death to penetrate to the true meaning of life. After years of wandering, Venerable Ajahn Chah established a monastery where he taught simple, practice-based form of meditation, and attracted a numerous of students including western foreigners. He was one of the greatest Dhamma teachers of the modern era. His wise teachings have continued to guide thousands of people along the path of Dharma. Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings of the Thai Forest Tradition gradually spread across all over the world. Several of Ajahn Chah’s Western students have since established monasteries throughout the world. Just in Thailand itself, there are more than 300 branch monasteries in Ajahn Chah’s tradition. Ven erable Ajahn Chah used his ill health as a teaching point, emphasizing that it was a living example of the impermanence of all things and reminded people to endeavour to find a true refuge within themselves. The legacy of Venerable Ajahn Chah’s teachings and legacy continues into the modern age.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this great sharing.

    Wonderful blog written on the practice of Kalarupa for us to understand better. As an emanation of Manjushri, Kalarupa’s practice helps us to destroy ignorance and to develop wisdom overcoming our anger and suffering . Awesome Kalarupa manifested in multiple forms to help sentient beings who personifies enlightenment by the conquest of anger. Kalarupa also regard as one of the three main Dharma protectors of the Gelugpa is extremely fierce and ugly, and tames all kinds of spiritual ugliness. The fierceness of his iconography teaches us to remind ourselves that all the causes and effects of anger arising from ignorance are dreadful and distorted.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Pastor Antionette for this detailed sharing,

    Nepal is a very spiritual country, having a huge Dorje Shugden mural in Kathmandu, is indeed a big achievement for Kechara. Located on Charkhal Road in Dilli Bazaar, the mural can be found midway between our two Dorje Shugden chapels which are in Putalisadak and Chabahil. It is also very close to one of Kathmandu’s largest shopping malls. Many locals , tourist will be able to connect them to a powerful deity that is so closely associated with their culture. Well the mural not only beautiful but also full of symbolism and everyone merely by seeing it is blessed. Thanks to those talented artists and generous sponsors making it a success.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this sharing.

    All the art of living lies in a fine mingling of letting go and holding on. Letting go helps us to live in a more peaceful state of mind and helps restore our balance. A reminder for us all to go of attachment and meditating on impermanence and emptiness. We are to relinquish the domination of our ego and its habits to transform ourselves. A great reminder not to waste our previous life.
    Quoted Ceasing to do evil, Cultivating the good, Purifying the heart .
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing such a meaningful teachings with folded hands.

    We are members of the Buddhist Temple in Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we have been issued membership by the president (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK), we are very sad because we are the foundation of this Temple

    Now we can know who is always messing with people, and he always cheats money and women, he even uses Buddhism to find money.

    Also, need to be careful with his brother-in-law (Simon Low Kok Meng) because he is a spy (CID) for DATUK YIP KUM FOOK and we will write some letters to AGONG SULTAN IBRAHIM IBN ALMARHUM SULTAN ISKANDAR as soon as possible.

    The matriarchal cultures of the grandmothers have specific symbolism of animism shamanism, such as the horse, especially the blue horse, and the deer. These are two main symbols of a shaman woman and you can find them in many cultural folk lore, especially the Russian, Slavic, Siberian, Nordic, Finland, and Norway. It’s nice to see the Matriarchal Shaman Animism diety represented in Chinese.

    An inspiring act of a selfless Lama feeding strays whether its night or day. Truly an example for us all to feed those lonely strays . Yes I do agree compassion starts with feeding strays. Reading this blog again to refresh myself to do more. Strays animals generally lead a life of poor welfare on the street. Feeding strays is a compassionate act.
    Thank you Rinpoche and Anila for this sharing.

    Demons are disembodied spirits, supernatural being or spirit and unseen beings. We know they do exist and I believe they do. They have no physical form to them whatsoever. Demons do definitely exist. They are intelligent beings who are evil malicious spirits and are all dangerous entities. Valak is not to be summoned capriciously by anyone as they are dangerous beings when we invoke them having to face a heavy consequence. There are spiritual practices that we can ask for help a ritual of the wrathful Manjushri in the form of Trakze. Having a doing the practice daily without fail, consistently, as this Trakze practice has been proven to be efficacious to break the hold the Valak and other spirits. All thanks to our Guru bringing this practice to Kechara Forest Retreat, Bentong Malaysia.
    Thank you Rinpoche for this wonderful sharing for us to understand better.

    Wow ,reading all these powerful quotes had me realised much better of giving even I have little. May H E Tsem Rinpoche’s sincere advice to reach the far shore of liberation to everyone reading this blog. The most truly generous people are those who give silently without asking any in return. There is no exercise better than reaching and lifting people up. A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal. Well creating and lighting for others we naturally light our own way. Helping others especially those unfortunate ones, make us feel more positive about our own circumstances.
    Thank you Rinpoche for sharing all these powerful quotes.

The Unknown

The Known and unknown are both feared,
Known is being comfortable and stagnant,
The unknown may be growth and opportunities,
One shall never know if one fears the unknown more than the known.
Who says the unknown would be worse than the known?
But then again, the unknown is sometimes worse than the known. In the end nothing is known unless we endeavour,
So go pursue all the way with the unknown,
because all unknown with familiarity becomes the known.
~Tsem Rinpoche

    Sick animals are more profitable... farms calculate how close to death they can keep animals without killing them. That's the business model. How quickly they can be made to grow, how tightly they can be packed, how much or how little can they eat, how sick they can get without dying... We live in a world in which it's conventional to treat an animal like a block of wood. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer

    Jason asked: Continuing from the previous answer, how do we liberate ourselves from samsara if it’s impossible to not create further karma while existing in samsara? If we create karma just be existing, that means that we will keep reincarnating over and over again so it seems like we’re stuck in the cycle
    pastor answered: Dear Jason, You've asked a very interesting follow-up question. Generally speaking, yes if you are in samsara, then you are always creating more karma. That's why the goal of Buddhists is to be liberated from samsara. The Buddha and other enlightened beings achieved this and the practice of Dharma itself is geared towards achieving this. I'll try to explain it here, hopefully I can do so in such a short space. So, normally there is no way out of samsara, but when you practice the Dharma there is. Remember in my previous reply to you, I mentioned that there are differing levels of severity of karma? Some are heavier, some lighter, etc. When practising the Dharma, you reduce the amount of karma that you produce. When you have less effects of karma, due to less negative karma itself, you can focus more on the spiritual practices that lead to liberation. I'll take the examples of the Refuge vows. There are 10 of them, split into three categories related to the body, speech and mind. First is the body, which includes to abstain form killing, as killing creates negative karma. The in the speech section, it includes to abstain from lying. This is harder to do. What is easier - to abstain from killing another human being, or lying to another person. The easier one is not to kill. Hence, you train yourself in this manner, working from those actions that are easiest to avoid, working up to those that are harder. For example in the mind section, one of the vows is not to covet something that another person has. But this is harder to do than either not lying or not killing. In other words, in our spiritual practice, we reduce the karma that we create though the actions of our body, speech and mind. Since we have less karma, we suffer less. And then finally, we are get to really subtle levels of karma, which are like residue in our mindstreams. But it's still there. In order to get out of samsara, you need to realise what we call emptiness (which is way to complicated to talk about here). In other words, the very path of the Dharma is to reduce the karma we create, starting with the easiest and working up to the hardest, which is where it becomes the easiest to understand emptiness. This who journey is a process, that's why teachings such as the Lamrim are indesipensible as it shows us the actual way to practice. Normally, we are stuck in Samsara. But when we practice the Dharma and ultimately realise emptiness (there are many, many steps in between) we are able to get out of samsara completely. This may sound confusing, which is why in Buddhism study, understand and practice is very important. We have Dharma classes available, where you can learn and find out more: https://www.kechara.com/learn/dharma-classes/ I hope this helps.

    Jason asked: People-especially family put certain expectations on us and when we refuse, it causes them a lot of stress and anger and we make them suffer…. my family wants me to marry and have kids but I don’t want to be tied down to Samsara any further and just explaining that I want to shave my head drives my mom crazy and she starts speaking to me in a very loud and forceful manner saying that she doesn’t care what I have to say and that she knows better than me so she will do whatever it takes make me have a family even if she ends up becoming a villain in my eyes because it’s for my own good so that I won’t be alone and lonely when I’m old. When we say no to people, especially to people who care about us and want the best for us, do we accumulate negative karma from causing them emotional turmoil and pain
    pastor answered: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. In essence, any action that causes another person harm or suffering whether physical or emotional generates negative karma. But karma is complicated and not as simple as we usually think about it. There are differences in level of severity of karma created, some can be very light and some can be heavy. These are due to the variables when creating karma, such as motivation, the actions, your feelings after it, etc. This can all be found in teachings that talk about karma, especially the Lamrim teachings. In Buddhism we teach that we need to avoid the creation of negative karma for sure. But simply by being stuck in samsara, there is actually no way out of creating karma. That is why Buddhists seek to be free from samsara altogether. Only when we are free from samsara, are we free from the creation of karma. In relation to your situation, if you are young and rely on your parents, for now you should try not to do things that are create division or disharmony within the family environment. That itself if the practice of the Dharma. Then later, when you are independent you can make more of an informed choice about what you want to do. Even in your current situation, you can practice the Dharma, it is not necessary to become a monk or nun to progress on your spiritual path. Dharma can be practiced in any environment, and actually practising towards our family is the best. When we transform our minds and our behvariours and they see just how beneficial this transformation is, this is the best way to show them that Dharma is good. This was a piece of advice that Tsem Rinpoche used to tell people in family situations all the time. I hope this helps you.

    Rojal Poudel asked: How can I meet my guru? Does one need a guru for initiation for tantra and other stuff on the path to enlightenment? Does one need a guru to attain enlightenment?
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your question. In regards to meeting your guru, there are many different ways. These days you can meet your guru online as well. For example, many people did not meet Tsem Rinpoche personally, but they consider him to be there guru. You may find this article interesting: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/the-guru-protocol-a-guide-to-knowing-who-your-guru-is.html In regards to tantra, yes, one definitely needs a qualified guru to bestow initiation and teach us the path of practice once you have initiation. In regards to our tradition, it is also considered necessary to have a guru to attain full enlightenment. Hope this helps. The article lined above will definitely help to answer some of your questions on a deeper level. Thank you.

    Rojal Poudel asked: How can you deepen your spiritual progress while sleeping? I heard some people can go to pure lands and get teachings directly from Buddha’s, Bodhisattva’s, and Dharma Protecters. Are these possible from Lucid Dreaming and Astral Projection?
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Thank you for your questions. It's always nice to see you here wanting to learn more. Yes it is definitely possible to deepen your practice in your sleep. This is done during practice of Highest Yoga Tantra, after receiving initiation and progressed along generation stage practice. This would obviously include everything before receiving such iniation such as having a basis and grounding in the Three Principle Aspects of the Path and the Lamrim teachings. In this practice you are able to use sleep to engage in meditation. This would need you to be able to lucid dream before hand. The ability to lucid dream itself can be developed a number of ways, but the most common is single-pointed mediation concentration during waking life. This is also known as Shamatha meditation. But in this case, the object of your meditation should be a mental one, rather than a physical one. The best would be a visualisation of the Buddha. All of this is outlined in the Lamrim teachings in the section on developing concentration. In terms of Astral Travel, yes it is definitely possible, and again there are different methods to go about this. Again this should be done only after having received the appropriate intiations and teachings from your guru. However, there are quite a few dangers involved with this. As Tsem Rinpoche mentioned before, the two main ones is that your consciousness is not able to return to your body and two that a spirit can take possession of your body if your protection is not strong and you have not invoked a Dharma protector to help with protection aspects. Another thing about astral travel, is that even if learn how to do it, it is not necessary that you can actually visit pure lands or receive teachings, etc. This is because, to do this, would require a lot of merit. So there are many things and practices to develop merit before you should engage in it. Often times, people who claim that they have received teachings or visited purelands, actually haven't though they may think that they did. It could simply be a projection of one's mind and in some serious cases perhaps even due to spirits mascarading. If you would like to learn lucid dreaming, please look into the teachings of single-pointed concentration normally. The ability of lucid dreaming comes naturally for those who progress in their shamatha meditation. As for astral travel practices, I would advise not to engage in such practices unless you receive the appropriate initiations, teachings from and under the strict supervision of a qualified guru. Hope this helps.

    Rojal Poudel asked: I am about to leave everything behind. I am tired of this life where I do the same thing everyday. I see everything but dharma as an illusion. I want to attain some sort of realization so that I can benefit other sentient beings. I am very inspired by the story of Milarepa, who gave up everything to learn dharma. Even the Buddha gave up comfort and luxury in search for this supreme truth. I also want to follow the Please tell me what I should do.
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, We can understand that you feel this way, and seeing the illusion of life should definitely motivate us to want to achieve something more spiritual. In the past when people asked Tsem Rinpoche the same question, he used to tell people a couple of things: > The first is that there are two methods to deal with our spiritual path. The first is to physically renounce everything and go into the wilderness, like Buddha Shakyamuni and Milarepa did. To cut yourself from everyone and everything and meditate continuously for years until you achieve realisation. But this is very hard to do in our day and age. We still need to have contact with people, there are the necessities of life to think about. Rinpoche said we need to think about things from a practice angle also. It takes a very great level of practitioner with an immense store of merit to be able to do this successfully. > The second method is to keep living within our a community and use them as a support for the transformation of the mind and spiritual progress. For example, that it why we have monasteries and nunneries, or Dharma centres and organisations to help with spiritual practice. This method is more measured, but you can still gain the same results. This is the more practical method. Especially according to the Mahayana path of practice, Bodhisattvas need to practice certain qualities in our minds and we progress towards enlightenment. Such qualities include the Six Perfections, but if we are not around others, how do we practice them? In order to practice generosity, we need others to be generous towards. In order to practice patience, we need others to be patient towards. In order to practice morality and ethics, we need to be in situations to be able to practice our vows. Enlightened beings like Buddha and Milarepa were able to do all of this in their minds during meditation but as mentioned before they were already high level pracitioners with immense merit. For example, Buddha Shakyamuni had three countless aeons of consistent practice life time after life time until his achieved enlightenment. > Another thing that Rinpoche shared, that while understanding the drawbacks of life and the benefits of becoming enlightened, a lot of the time what happens these days is that it is mixed up with emotion due to the challenges of life. People are looking for an escape, but not an escape from samsara into enlightenment, but simple an escape from their current problems. The need for escape, known as renunciation in Buddhism, is not to simply escape samsara, but developed in a certain way through contemplation and meditation. When we have such feelings, we should analyse them to see if they are in accord with the teachings and the methods of developing true renunciation. Many people also have a unrealistic way of thinking about physical renunciation and the spiritual path in general. Most people think it is easy, but it is not, is difficult because we need to deal with our minds, our emotions, our traumas, etc, from countless lives. If we don't have a firm foundation in Dharma practice and transformation before we attempt something like Buddha Shakyamuni or Milarepa, we will give up after a while because we find it too hard. And perhaps give up spiritual practice because the path did not actually match our expectations. So the key is to be as realistic as possible about our spiritual path. So our advice, rather than give up everything, as you may have family or other responsibilities, is to use your current situation to transform your mind, to practice the teachings right now in life, so that you can start progressing along the spiritual life. The best way to do this is to practice the Lamrim teachings, which give you a firm roadmap of how and what to practice in a sequential manner. Giving up everything is not necessary to make real progress on the spiritual path, as outlined in the Lamrim, but sustained and consistent practice is the key. Then use the situations in your life to actualise that transformation. We hope this helps.

    Jason asked: I listened to Tsem Rinpoche’s dharma talk and was inspired to be patient and kind towards other. For a while I felt like my mind had transformed and I started being more proactive in helping others and making sure to complete my responsibilities as perfectly as I can to not burden others and taking the initiative to help people that I see are struggling with their work but recently I have been feeling like I’m actually harming others instead of helping them by being kind because I feel like I’m enabling their bad behavior and rude attitude, especially one person in particular that I have to work with. No matter how much I help and show kindness, they don’t seem to change…and now I feel like a pushover for smiling and helping them even though they don’t show any appreciation or respect for it and instead take advantage of me and push even more of their responsibilities on me. I’ve been having thoughts that my kindness and patience has just become a cover for fear of confrontation now. What should I do? I feel like I’m gonna lose control and lash out even though I try to focus my mind on how the people around me must be struggling
    pastor answered: Dear Jason, Thank you for your question. We are very happy to hear that Tsem Rinpoche's Dharma talks have inspired you, especially to practice patience and kindness towards others. Please do keep it up, the benefits of both qualities are immense and are central to spiritual transformation. We should always try our best to practice both patience and kindness, but sometimes practising it in the way we think may not be the best option. For example, in the case that you mentioned, it is not having the right effect on your own mind and also you are enabling your co-worker to exhibit negative behaviours as well. In this case, actually practising kindness would not be to become a pushover, taking more responsibilities, etc. This isn't beneficial for your or the co-worker. So here, practising kindness would actually be not to allow the person to do such things, but it should be practised with patience and not out of emotion. So you would do this in a very skilfful manner. The best would be to have a talk with your co-worker in a very calm manner and explain how you are feeling and how they are making you feel in the work environment, and try to sort out the situation before it progresses. Especially since you are having such thoughts of anger and the posibility of lashing out. Practicing kindness and patience is not at all become a push over or allowing others to skip out on their responsibilities, etc. We really hope this helps. Thank you.

    Sok asked: Hello respected pastors. Is Kusha grass same as Durva grass? How to obtain kusha grass?
    pastor answered: Dear Sok, Kusha grass and Durva grass are two different types of grass, they are not the same. Kusha grass is also known as halfa grass, big cordgrass, or salt reed-grass. Its scientific name is Desmostachya Bipinnata. In shape, each blade of grass is long and straight. Durva grass is also known as bermuda grass. Its scientific name is Cynodon Dactylon. In shape, each blade looks segmented and has smaller leaves sprouting from it. You can google the scientific name to see the difference between the two. Generally, they can be bought at Indian religious stores if there are any nearby where you live. Alternatively, if you live in Asia, you can buy a traditional grass broom, which you can substitue for the Kusha grass. It is a close relative of Kusha grass and the lamas have said that it can be used as substitue if you cannot find the actual grass. I hope this helps. Thank you.

    Bhavisha asked: How to know wheather specific LOCAL deity is enlighten or not?
    pastor answered: Dear Bhavisha, Local deities are not enlightened. They are sentient beings who look after or take care of a specific area. There are different names for these types of beings, such as local deities, Land God, Landowner deities, etc. They belong to the God Realm, but as other beings in the god realm, they are not enlightened. Hope this helps.

    Rojal Poudel asked: What comes after attaining samatha or calm abiding meditation?
    pastor answered: Dear Rojal, Nice to see you back here! Shamatha is a tool, basically through this meditation you develop single pointed concentration. But after developing that, you use it to engage in Vipashyana meditation, otherwise known as Special Insight. Different traditions have different version of Special Insight. In our tradition, we use this type of meditation to analyse what we call "emptiness." The teachings on the emptiness are the actual teaching that leads to enlightenment. All other teachings or practices help to prepare your mind to be able to do this. Shamatha comes in, because the topic of emptiness is so deep, that we need single-pointed concentration to analyse it. If we don't have this type of concentration, we will not be able to understand emptiness. Hence, shamatha and vipashyana meditation are used in tandem to achieve enlightenment. This may seem a little abstract. The Lamrim teachings go into this in a lot of detail. They can be found in the chapters dealing with the Concentration and Wisdom as part of the Six Perfections in the Great Scope sections of the Lamrim. Hope this helps. Thank you.

    Jonathan Tan asked: Hi Dear Pastor, I am curious if H.E 25th Tsem Rinpoche had any heart disciples (son/daughter) Is there a difference between heart and root disciples?
    pastor answered: Dear Jonathan, Thank you for your question. There is no one heart disciple of Tsem Rinpoche. This usually refers to specific person who carries on the teachings and practices of a particular teacher. Tsem Rinpoche wanted something different for Kechara, hence we carry on his teachings and practices as a group, rather than one specific person. Rinpoche trained his students, who are either Sangha, Pastors or senior students in various ways of continuing his teachings, especially through the work that they do. In this way, we continue Rinpoche's teachings as a group rather than any one heart disciple. Hope that this helps. Thank you.

    Sirius asked: Hi dear pastors, I'd like to get recomendations on how to improve my actual sadhana. My morning starts by taking refuge and making offerings to the three jewls, followed by Lama Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga. After this I usually study Lam Rim, and other Dharma Texts. During the afternoon I meditate for a about an hour or so, and somedays I do the Dorje Shugden sadhana given by Rinpoche. Finally at night I finish my day by doing Vajrasattva meditation and confession to the 35 Buddhas. What else can I do to improve my sadhana? What practices would you recomend me to do? Do you have recomendations on texts I could read? I would like to add that I live in Argentina, and I do not have any buddhist temple near sadly, so I cannot go there to practice, learm or collab. I would appreciate advice on this. Thank you in advance.
    pastor answered: Dear Sirius, Thank you for your question. In terms of practice, you are doing a lot. We are very happy to read that you are doing all these beneficial practices. They will be very beneficial for you. What you are doing is very good already, the only thing that I would say is to make the Dorje Shugden sadhana consistent as well as the others. If you are doing the short Diamond Path sadhana, it includes the Vajrasatta meditations, so you don't have to do it separately. We just have some points to help you improve your practice: > First is whenever you do any of the practices, is it vital to make sure you take refuge, generate bodhicitta and practice the four immeasurables before each session. And then at the end of the session, make sure to dedicate. This seals the merit generated from your practice. This is very important as if we don't have the correct motivation at the beginning and dedicate it at the end, since the merit is not sealed, the positive potential is destroyed when we have disturbing emotions, especially anger. > The second is to be consistent in your practices and do them daily. If you cannot be consistent with the practices you are doing at the moment, then reduce what you are doing to make it simple, for example just the Diamond Path (which includes Tsongkhapa's Guru Yoga anyway). Then once you are consistent daily, later you can slow add in other practices and become consistent with them. > The third is to keep revising the teachings on these practices, understand the motivation, deepen your visualisations, etc. > In regards to your meditation, if you are doing breathing or concentration meditation, again, revise the teachings again and again to make your practice stronger and understand where you are on your meditational path. > You can also spend some time every day, maybe five or ten minutes contemplating the Lamrim teachings step by step. This itself is extremely transformational and will propel you along the spiritual path. In regards to what else to study or read, here is a very good article: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/buddhas-dharma/books-that-are-a-must-read.html If you consider Tsem Rinpoche to be your spiritual teacher, there are thousands of hours of teachings on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoTg0Wc5q3Gnz8ej3ETCdMQ You can watch and re-watch them to deepen your understanding and practice. I hope all of this helps.

    Alby asked: Hi, I was just wondering if spirits or ghost can possess Buddha statues and haunt the owner of the statue? I heard that before inviting a statue of the Buddha into your house, it has to be blessed by monks first. Is this a necessary requirement?
    pastor answered: Dear Alby, The physical form representations of the Buddhas, including statues, are very special as each form of a Buddha represents not only the path to enlightenment, but the state of enlightenment itself. In fact, even just seeing a Buddha image plants imprints in our minds that will open when the conditions are right, to help us further along our spiritual path. So they are powerful and protective in and of themselves, as long as they have been created according to correct iconography. This last point is very important. That being said, images or statues are just pieces of metal or clay, etc. When statues are consecrated, they actually become the embodiement of the Three Jewels (Buddha, Dharma and Sangha). That's why making offerings and doing any virtuous activity (even cleaning them) generates merit for your spiritual journey. As embodiments of the Three Jewels there is no way that they can be possessed by spirits that haunt the owner of the statue. Traditionally, statues are made to be hollow and then filled with certain mantras and holy items, then consecrated. Following the traditional method will be the most effective to bless your statue properly. If your statue is hollow, at Kechara we offer a service to fill your statue properly with the correct mantras, etc. The service is part of Kechara Saraswati Arts. You can find out more here: https://www.kechara.com/services/buddhist-art/ We also have DIY kits available if you cannot send your statue in and would like to do it yourself: https://www.vajrasecrets.com/mantra-rolls-complete [Please note these mantras are inserted into specific parts of the statue, you can contact Vajrasecrets through the website to get more information on how to fill the statue yourself] https://www.vajrasecrets.com/mantra-rolls-anywhere [These mantras can be inserted anywhere within the statue] If you cannot do any of these, then at the very least, you should insert something into the statue so that it is not completely hollow. This can be a piece of paper with the mantra OM AH HUM written on it (either Tibetan or English is fine). Then roll this up and place in the statue. Otherwise you can use a pearl or semi-precious stone, etc. While statues themselves have protective power, when they are left empty there is a certain type of spirit that come to reside inside a statue as it is completely hollow. It's a spirit that likes hollow places. However, this type of spirit is not usually malicious or harmful. But that is one of the reasons a statue is never left hollow. Once the filling is done, the traditional ceremonies of consecration known as Soongdrup Puja (to bless the insertion items) and the Rabney Puja (to fully consecrate the statues) are performed, which we also offer https://www.vajrasecrets.com/rabney-soongdrup-consecration-puja-fund For those who cannot have the pujas done for whatever reason, you can actually bless the statues yourself. A comprehensive guide and the prayers necessary for doing this are available here: https://www.tsemrinpoche.com/tsem-tulku-rinpoche/prayers-and-sadhanas/how-to-bless-buddha-images-yourself.html Given all of this, yes there is a type of spirit that can inhabit statues, but only if they are completely empty and not consecrated (whether by a monk, lay practitioner, yourself, it doesn't matter). But this type of spirit cannot haunt the person, etc, in that sense. It simply resides in the statue. The reason why statues are blessed or consecrated is so that they embody the Three Jewels, they become immense objects of merit making and protection from spirits, negativity, etc. So, if you do have a statue or are thinking of an inviting a statue, the best would be to have it filled and consecrated properly. However, even if you cannot, you can do the blessing yourself. There is no need to worry about a statue being haunted if not consecrated by a monk before you invite it or bring home. In fact, if you have a personal practice, at the end of your practice you can dissolve your visualisation into the statue, to bless it. This actually makes your statue much more powerful than consecration alone. You basically bless your statue through your own daily practice. I hope this information helps. Thank you.
