First day of the year...Have you started something good, everyone?

For Mae Pong, this year began with peace from

"Prayer across the year" in the monk's room at home.

Mother Pong prayed for the blessing of Lord Srirat.

To help cover the fortnight, heal and guide life in the right direction.

40 + like us...The blessing of wanting begins to change.

Believe that many people would be the same

At some point in life,

We stop asking for rich, overflowing the sky or winning the lottery.

Instead, we crave more "mental peace."

May life only find happiness.

It is mobile, both secular and moral.

No jams. No chaos.

This is the most precious blessing for people of this age, right?

Small Trick

For people who want to start but don't know where to start:

If you feel that your life is busy, start with a short prayer or a five-minute meditation before going to bed. Don't go to a temple far away. Just a small area in the house can give us positive energy.

... Read moreเห็นหลายคนเสิร์ชหา “รูปพระวันพุธ” แล้วอาจกำลังจะเอาไปตั้งหน้าจอ ทำเป็นวอลเปเปอร์ หรือใช้เป็นรูปไหว้พระประจำวัน เลยอยากมาเล่าจากมุมคนที่เริ่มปีใหม่ด้วยการสวดมนต์ข้ามปีที่บ้านค่ะ (ไม่ต้องไปไกล แค่มุมเล็กๆ ในบ้านก็ช่วยรีเซ็ตใจได้จริง) รูปพระวันพุธที่เจอกันบ่อยๆ จริงๆ มี 2 แบบนะคะ เพราะ “วันพุธ” แบ่งเป็นพุธกลางวันและพุธกลางคืน 1) พระประจำวันพุธ (กลางวัน) = ปางอุ้มบาตร ภาพจำคือพระพุทธเจ้าทรงอุ้มบาตร ยืนสำรวม สื่อถึงความเรียบง่าย ความพอดี และการมีสติในการรับ-ให้ เราชอบปางนี้ตรงที่เตือนใจเรื่อง “ความพอประมาณ” มากๆ โดยเฉพาะวัย 40+ ที่เริ่มไม่ได้ขอพรให้หวือหวา แต่ขอให้ชีวิตราบรื่น ไม่ติดขัด ไม่วุ่นวาย 2) พระประจำวันพุธ (กลางคืน) = ปางป่าเลไลยก์ จะเห็นพระประทับนั่ง มีช้างกับลิงถวายอาหาร/น้ำ (รายละเอียดในรูปอาจต่างกันบ้าง) ความหมายจะไปทาง “มีผู้เกื้อหนุน” ผ่านช่วงที่ใจเหนื่อยหรือโดดเดี่ยวได้ และกลับมาสงบได้อีกครั้ง ถ้าตั้งใจจะไหว้พระวันพุธแบบง่ายๆ ที่บ้าน (สไตล์ที่เราทำช่วงสวดมนต์ข้ามปี) ลองทำตามนี้ได้เลยค่ะ - จัดมุมสงบเล็กๆ วางรูปพระ/พระพุทธรูปให้เรียบร้อย - จุดธูปหรือไม่จุดก็ได้ (เน้นความสบายใจและความปลอดภัย) - ตั้งจิตอธิษฐาน “ขอให้มีสติ มีความสงบทางใจ และมีทางออกที่ถูกต้อง” - ปิดท้ายด้วยนั่งสมาธิ 5 นาที ก่อนนอน หายใจยาวๆ ช้าๆ ให้ใจอยู่กับปัจจุบัน ทริกเล็กๆ เวลาเลือกรูปพระวันพุธไปใช้: เลือกรูปที่เรามองแล้วใจนิ่ง สีสบายตา รายละเอียดไม่รก และวางไว้ในที่ที่เห็นบ่อย เช่น หน้าจอโทรศัพท์หรือหัวเตียง เพราะสุดท้าย “รูป” เป็นเหมือนตัวช่วยเตือนเราให้กลับมามีสติค่ะ สำหรับเรา การเริ่มต้นปีใหม่ด้วยความสงบ (สวดมนต์ที่บ้าน ทำบุญเท่าที่ทำได้) เป็นของขวัญที่ดีที่สุดแล้ว ใครเกิดวันพุธหรืออยากเสริมพลังใจ ลองเริ่มจากรูปพระวันพุธ + เวลาสงบวันละนิดนะคะ

A hand holds a silver digital camera with a screen and buttons, set against a blurred green foliage background. The image features the question "WHAT'S A GOOD FIRST DIGITAL CAMERA?" in prominent white text.
Text on a light background states that choosing a first camera is difficult, suggesting the best tip is to consider the desired photo style. A blurred landscape with water and land is visible at the bottom.
The image presents options for desired photo styles: vintage/grainy photos (illustrated by an airplane window view), film-like photos (shown with a coastal landscape), and cameras for vlogging. It suggests different camera types for each style.
what's a good first digital camera!
I get asked a lot what's a good first digital question and honestly, it's such a difficult question because it really depends on each person's taste! there are thousands of cameras and models so in my opinion it's nearly impossible for there to be a single camera that's perfect
