【2020多倫多影展 完整片單公布】
第 45 屆 #多倫多影展(#TIFF)日前公布本屆官方片單,除了喜見台灣電影《#逃出立法院》入選,整體片單也不乏亮點。
受疫情影響,本屆多倫多影展的規模縮編為放映 50 部作品(往年皆放映約 300 部電影)。這些作品中有高達 46% 為女性執導作品(去年 36%),整體片單的類型/地區/族裔/原住民族代表性也非常多元(包含11部紀錄片和3部影集作品),這正是多倫多影展引以為傲的特色之一。
本屆開幕片為史派克李(Spike Lee)於百老匯執導拍攝的舞台劇作品——“David Byrne’s American Utopia",閉幕則是 BBC 與 Netflix 共同出品、由印度裔導演 Mira Nair 執導的六集迷你劇集 “A Suitable Boy”。今年片單中也可看到三位知名演員「演而優則導」的首部執導作品,包含荷莉貝瑞、維果莫天森,與瑞吉納金。
往年各影展都會互相競爭各電影的全球首映,然而在今年各影展縮編或取消、電影製作阻礙重重的狀態下,便會看到許多影展重複選片的狀況。多倫多影展就選入了不少今年坎城影展的片子(這部分比威尼斯大方的多),像是河瀨直美的《朝が来る》、歐容的 "Summer of 85",以及再度集結《謊言的烙印》導演 Thomas Vinterberg 和男星麥斯米克森(Mads Mikkelsen)的 “Another Round" 等。
而《春光之境》導演 Francis Lee 的新片 “Ammonite" 也同時入選坎城和多倫多。該片由瑟夏羅南與凱特溫絲蕾聯合演出一齣令人醉心的女女之戀,被多倫多影展的藝術總監譽為是他所看過「凱特溫絲蕾最傑出的表演」。凱特同時也獲選為本屆多倫多影展傑出演員特別獎得主(TIFF Tribute Actor Award)。
另一方面,與威尼斯影展重疊的片則包含由王晶執導、賈樟柯監製的《不止不休》、由趙婷執導、法蘭西絲麥朵曼主演的 "Nomadland"、《忠犬追殺令》匈牙利導演 Kornél Mundruczó 的第一部英語長片 "Pieces of a Woman" (凡內莎克比&西亞李畢福主演)等。
本屆多倫多影展將於 9/10-19 舉行。囿於加拿大邊境管制,今年大部分的實體活動皆取消,包含紅毯首映會等影人出席活動。除了少數幾場開放給當地影迷的汽車電影院放映會和其他採取安全措施的實體活動之外,其他的放映場次、記者會、映後座談等都會在線上舉行。
「今年的片單正好反映了今年的變動時局——你所熟悉的影人紛紛嘗試新的東西,而同時也有令人興奮的一批新秀正等著你去發掘。」—— 共同主席/藝術總監卡麥隆貝利(Cameron Bailey)
「2020的特別版多倫多影展正好象徵了當合作、巧思和熱情匯聚,就可以誕生新的可能性。而較小而美的片單也讓每一部片可以得到更多關注,我們希望每個人都能在其中找到所愛。」—— 共同主席/執行總監喬安娜文森特(Joana Vincente)

White Sun's Grammy win puts glow on Sikh faith
Adam Berry (L) Gurujas and Hari Jiwan Singh Khalsa of White Sun pose with the award for best new age album for 'White Sun II' at the Grammy Awards.
https://youtu.be/LR5jqSZ6EwY
White Sun music group is attracting a huge fanbase from Punjab.
Their album has compositions from Guru Granth Sahib which is appealing to the Punjabi listeners.
White Sun's album White Sun II won the Best New Age Album at the Grammys.
A day after they won a Grammy for its latest eponymous album, music group White Sun found a fresh fanbase in Punjab as listeners tuned into their website to find words they had counted on their entire lives.
As many as 10 compositions in the album, 'White Sun II', are either from the Guru Granth Sahib or have been penned by the 10th Sikh master, Guru Gobind Singh, and a part of daily prayers. The 11th composition is an instrumental based on the Sikh expression for God - Akaal.
The award was received by lead singer Gurujas Khalsa, a turbaned Sikh of American origin, alongside band co-founder and two-time Emmy-winning music composer Adam Berry and instrumentalist Harjiwan, a turbaned disciple of the late Harbhajan Singh Yogi aka Yogi Bhajan, who started propagating Sikhism among Americans half a century ago.

【玳瑚師父佛學論】 改命由心起
Fate alteration begins from your heart (English version below)
吾曾聽過這樣的故事:一對兄弟死後,同時到了閻王殿。閻王翻了翻簿子,說:“人間有兩個空缺,你們可以去投胎了。”
祂對著弟弟問: “我給你選。你要投胎做一輩子拿人好處的人,還是要做一輩子給人好處的人?”
弟弟答: “哥哥輩份比較大,我給哥哥先選。”
哥哥性格好勝,即刻就說: “我要做一輩子拿人好處的人!”
弟弟無所謂地說: “那我就做一輩子給人好處的人。”
閻王一聲令下,兄弟倆就各自轉劫去了。
後來,哥哥投胎在一個乞丐的家裏,常常到一個很慷概的富貴人家屋外向富貴人家討乞。而弟弟就是投胎在那個富貴人家里,常常施捨給來討乞的前世哥哥。
吾常提醒客人,一定要做多點善事。有行善,有福報。有福報,能擋災,能改命,能致富。如果你功德力不夠,拿什麽來談條件?
無奈這麽簡單的道理,很多人都不以爲然。
有客人說:“師父,我沒有時間啊!放工得回去看孩子,教他們功課!”
“有錢才給咯!現在錢不夠,所以才來找師父啊!”
“有啊!每個月,公司從我的薪水扣$10給公益金!”
更有客人說: “我每年都繳交所得稅,捐給新加坡政府!”
我講的善,不只是出錢。有錢,當然應該出,蓋廟、醫院、學校、蓋橋鋪路、振災等都是大善。這樣子為生命投資,包賺!好過每個星期‘捐’給新加坡博彩公司。 沒有錢,可以出力,幫忙派米給老人院,唱歌給老人聼,為寺廟教堂做翻譯等。連力都不可以,就用嘴巴來勸善,勸人不要墮胎、不要邪淫、不要偷公司的物品等。在服務業的,對客人要禮貌、周到、真誠也是一個善。
行善要懂得用腦,花點心思,運用您已有的能力和人际网络,一樣可以行善。父母也該帶著孩子一起去行善,灌輸給他們施比受更有福的道理,要不然,我們國家未來的棟梁只會追求物質的生活而不懂得人情味,未來怎麽會是孝子孝女呢?
“師父,我有做善事啊!爲甚麽我的命沒有改好?”
拜托,自己要用智慧衡量一下。
有位弟子哭著來問他的師父:“師父,我唸了很多的經,持了很多的咒,爲什麽我的命沒有改好?”
師父: “不要哭,不要哭。可以幫師父做件事嗎?”
弟子擦拭眼淚說: “師父要我幫你做什麽?”
師父拿出一些錢遞給他: “這裡有$500。你拿這些錢去幫我買一輛車。”
弟子看著師父說: “$500哪裏夠買車啊?”
師父微笑說: “就是啊!你說你做了很多,可是你要的比你做的還多。哪裏夠啊?”
有機會行善,不要一口拒絕,把心打開,多少都做一點。不要老是等人來邀,都這麽大的人了,要主動去行善,積極賺‘功德錢’!自己也要反省,不要還沒有積德,就缺德。這裡加,那裏減,驢年才能好命!
2014年6月28日,我的一些弟子和客人,召集了他們的家人和朋友,到Taman Jurong 的一老人中心演唱老歌、教健康操、請老人家吃茶點和分派禮包給150名貧困的獨居老人。這是他們第一次做這樣的活動。(弟子啊!教了你們七八年,現在才會用一下腦。)
他們沒有大機構做靠山。自己去聯絡老人中心,向朋友家人同事募款招義工,邀業餘唱歌的朋友來義演和教拳的來教健康操,找賣吃的友人贊助食物,去超市比較產品和價錢, 聯絡代理商問價,安排運輸等。
8人樂團(有專業器材)
20名贊助者
21名義工
150份價值$30的禮包
160片娘惹糕
160片蛋糕
200包美祿
能夠承辦,因爲肯做給人好處的人。今天,您拿了人家的好處還是給了別人好處呢?

------------------------
There was once this story I heard. 2 brothers arrived at the Hades after their death. The King of Hades flipped through His book and said, "There are 2 vacancies in the human realm. You can go for your rebirths."
The King asked the younger brother: "I shall give you a choice. Do you want to be reborn as a person who is always given favours by others throughout his life or be a person who is always dispensing favours to others?"
The younger brother answered, "I will let my elder brother choose first as he is my senior. "
The older brother, being competitive, said immediately, "I want to be born as the person who is always getting favours from others!"
The younger brother, without minding at all, said :"I shall be reborn as a person that's always dispensing favours to others. "
With a command, the King of Hades sent both brothers to their rebirths.
Eventually, the older brother ended up in a family of beggars, often begging at the doorstep of a generous and wealthy household. The younger brother was reborn into this rich family and always providing for the beggar who was his elder brother in previous life.
I often remind my clients to do more good deeds. With good deeds come merits gained, and these merits will help you to ward off disasters, change your life for the better and even lead to riches. If you have insufficient merits, there is nothing to talk about.
It's a simple concept which, sadly, is taken lightly by too many people.
Some clients lamented, "Master, I have no time at all! There's the kid to take care and revise homework with after my work!"
"I will give money if I have! But I'm lacking it now and that's why I am here to seek your help!"
"I do! Every month, my company deduct $10 from my paycheck to the Community Chest!"
One even retorted, "I pay my income tax every year and that is donation to the Singapore government!"
The good deed I am talking about is not just monetary donation. Of course, whenever you can, it is very meritorious to contribute financially to the building of temples, hospitals, schools, roads and bridges and assist in any disaster relief. This is way better than weekly 'donation' to Singapore Pools.
If you are strapped financially, you can volunteer your time to do rice delivery to the old folks home, sing for them, or aid in translation for temples/churches. If you are too lazy to lift a finger, you still have your mouth! You can urge people to refrain from abortion, sexual misconduct, pilfering from the company etc. If you are in the service line, treat your customers with respect and courtesy. Sincerity in itself is a kind deed.
Doing good needs a bit of creative thinking. Leveraging on your abilities and network is a good way to start. Parents should involve their children in charitable works to inculcate the notion that giving to others is always more fortunate than receiving. Otherwise, our next generation, the future pillars of the nation, would end up as a materialistic and unfeeling bunch. Filial piety? It would be thrown out of the window by then.
"Master, I have done some good deeds! Why hasn't my life improved?"
Please use your wisdom to gauge.
One disciple came crying to his master, "Master, I have been reciting the scriptures and chanting the mantras for a long time. Why am I still living such a wretched life?"
The master replied, "Please don't cry. Will you help me do something?"
The disciple wiped his tears and asked. "Master, what is it that you wanted me to do?"
The master took out some money and passed to the disciple, saying, "Here's $500. Please take this money and help me buy a car. "
The disciple looked at his master in disbelief, "Master, $500 is not enough to buy a car!"
The master smiled and replied, "Obviously! You claimed to have done a lot but what you desire is more than what you have done."
Never turn down a chance to do good. Open up your heart and do good with whatever you can. Don't sit around waiting for invitations to do good. You are already a grown-up so take the initiative to do good and proactively earn more 'merits income'. You must self reflect at all times. Don't lose your merits through undesirable behavior before you even start to do more good. You would end up waiting till the Year of the Donkey to change your life for the better!
On 28 June this year, some of my students and clients gathered their family and friends to put together an event for the elderly folks living alone in Taman Jurong. They put up a band performance, an exercise demonstration and provided snacks and goodies bags for the 150 needy old folks. It was their first time doing such an event.
There was no corporate sponsor. They did it all by themselves, from contacting the elderly care centre to canvassing donations from family and friends, and getting volunteers for the band performance and exercise demonstration. Not to mention the sourcing of snacks, doing product and price comparison at the supermarket for the goodie bag items, liaising with the distributor and arranging for delivery.
8-piece band with professional equipment
20 sponsors
21 volunteers
150 goodies bag worth $30 each
160 pcs of Nyona Kueh
160 pcs of cakes
200 packets of Milo drinks
Mission impossible for first-timers? They got it done because of one common wish. They wanted to be the person who gives and improves the lives of others.
Have you been giving your bit to others today? Or have you just taken advantage of another?
