Praying For Time


George Micheal



These are the days of the open hand
They will not be the last
Look around now
These are the days of the beggars and the choosers


This is the year of the hungry man
Whose place is in the past
Hand in hand with ignorance
And legitimate excuses


The rich declare themselves poor
And most of us are not sure
If we have too much
But we'll take our chances
Because god's stopped keeping score
I guess somewhere along the way
He must have let us alt out to play
Turned his back and all god's children
Crept out the back door


And it's hard to love, there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope
When there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
Well maybe we should all be praying for time


These are the days of the empty hand
Oh you hold on to what you can
And charity is a coat you wear twice a year


This is the year of the guilty man
Your television takes a stand
And you find that what was over there is over here


So you scream from behind your door
Say "what's mine is mine and not yours"
I may have too much but i'll take my chances
Because god's stopped keeping score
And you cling to the things they sold you
Did you cover your eyes when they told you


That he can't come back
Beacuse he has no children to come back for


It's hard to love there's so much to hate
Hanging on to hope when there is no hope to speak of
And the wounded skies above say it's much too late
So maybe we should all be praying for time

241011~ 京都清水寺
































 






24-10-2011 (第三天)


是日又是以京都遊為主

早上 08:45 從酒店出發

乘快速 09:06 (JR大阪→ JR京都)

票價:540yen









09:45 到達京都駅

又是蓋印留念的時間

一個印章已集齊京都的名勝

有京都塔、京都劇場、

及是日頭號景點~ 清水寺














踏出 JR京都駅

又見京都塔

當天風和日麗

無論任何一個位置的京都塔都是神氣十足

Postcard 嗎........











往清水可選擇在 JR 京都駅外

巴士總站 D1 位置

乘搭市巴 100 系統 (時刻表)

在清水寺站下車

又一次錯誤示範.....我們錯過了一個站

∵誤了只好在京都市東山消防署走回頭路




 






往清水寺票價為 100 Yen

我們買了京都市交通一日乘車券 500 yen

今次又笨了

∵所有景點可由清水寺沿路漫遊達至

只需預多一程回程車費便可









下車後沿小店路向上步行 ~20 分鐘









沿途都是售賣京都名物的手信店










清水寺

是京都最人氣的名勝

屬於日本最古老的佛教宗派法相宗

公元 778 年建成

經歷數次火災

於 1633 年重建成今日的景貌

1994 年清水寺連同古都京都建築群

被列入世界文化遺產

仁王門是清水寺的正門

是所謂的「切妻」式建築

有一邊的屋簷比較長

屋脊將屋頂面縱切分為二

是日本傳統的建築式樣











手工建造得非常精緻的三重塔










清水寺最為人稱道之處便是其建築方法

該寺為棟樑結構式寺院













清水寺入場費:300 yen/head

包『清水舞台』、『地主神社』及音の羽淹』












進入清水寺之前

先以清水洗淨自己

表示對寺院的一份尊重

據說此水亦有治牙痛之功效










無牙痛的我

一向都深信預防勝於治療.....Primary Prevention

咁就要執番劑防一防先

日本神社常見這些洗手池

正確名稱是手水舍

日文讀為〝Temizuya〞或 〝Tyouzuya〞

是潔淨手口的地方

亦是一種祓禊

正確規矩:是先用右手取長柄勺子舀水洗左手

再用左手舀水洗右手

最後才用右手舀水落左手掌心來漱口

記得不能直接用勺子舀水潄口的











清水寺本堂北邊有一地主神社

於 1633 年重建而成

深受年青男女參拜

特別是女性

皆因地主神社是祈求姻緣的

13 年前在此曾留影

景物多了『地主神社』四字........人面還是我



















一進場便見兩顆『戀占いの石』










據說只要閉上眼晴

念著意中人的名字

若從由一端石頭走到另一端石頭

兩顆石相距 17 公尺

便會心想事成

若果不小心走偏了

則代表著愛情路或許會有些波折










地主神社的地藏緣水

4 隻水勺分別有利姻緣(良緣)、健康 (厄除)、

學業(合格) 和戀愛(戀)運











其實地主神社也有祈求身體健康、化解厄運、

家庭美滿及演藝事業順利等

參拜步驟:

1.) 先丟 5 yen 到賽錢箱 (∴日語 5 yen 跟御緣同音)

2.) 搖一搖拜殿上方的鈴鐺 (意思是把神叫來)

3.) 深鞠躬兩拜→ 再拍掌兩下 (拍第二下時不用分開手掌)

→就這樣合十禱告










專求家宅平安的神社









良緣達成.....戀愛成就









Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea








Kawaii








依山而建的清水寺本堂奧定院

由 139 根柱支撐

正殿寬19米    進深16米

寺院建築氣勢宏偉

結構巧妙且並未用一根釘子


大殿前為懸空的

宛如舞台的主堂

故名為『清水舞台』

被視為清水寺的標記

這裡是觀望『清水舞台』的最佳位置









可惜適逢維修之時

未能步前影相作留念









可遠眺京都塔

記得昨夜可從京都塔望遠鏡

清楚可見的清水寺三重塔









參拜記得用手將香火往身上撥作淨身










『音の羽淹』3 條小水道從右至左

分別代表為長壽、健康、智慧

取名為「音羽瀑布」

日本人相信飲過來自音羽山的清水

便能以預防及治癒百病之說










沿途總會見有和尚化緣

這亦是京都的標記之一









我們沿清水寺旁

通往高台寺等地的二年坂及三年坂

階梯步道一路拾級而下往祇園

小路兩旁是京都傳統風格的建築物

京城古都風華實在令人神往

Puff, the Magic Dragon





PuffPeter, Paul & Mary



Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Little jackie paper loved that rascal puff,
And brought him strings and sealing wax and other fancy stuff. oh

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.

Together they would travel on a boat with billowed sail
Jackie kept a lookout perched on puff's gigantic tail,
Noble kings and princes would bow whene'er they came,
Pirate ships would lower their flag when puff roared out his name. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.


A dragon lives forever but not so little boys
Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys.
One grey night it happened, jackie paper came no more
And puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar.

His head was bent in sorrow, green scales fell like rain,
Puff no longer went to play along the cherry lane.
Without his life-long friend, puff could not be brave,
So puff that mighty dragon sadly slipped into his cave. oh!

Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee,
Puff, the magic dragon lived by the sea
And frolicked in the autumn mist in a land called honah lee.
