Diary 411: Eye stroke
Stroke refers to an acute loss of blood supply to any portion of the brain, resulting in irreversible brain damage and loss of bodily functions controlled by that part of the brain.
The eye is connected to the brain by the optic nerve, which directly comes from the brain.
An eye stroke occurs when a clot forms in a small blood vessel within the eye. The interruption of blood flow destroys the retina, the light-sensitive nerve layer that captures images.
The attack is sudden, painless, but can cause partial or complete vision loss in one eye. The other eye is usually unaffected.
“What concerns me is that I am seeing more patients with eye stroke who are younger than 50 years old. This suggests that the general well beings of the population in terms if blood pressure control, high cholesterol levels, and diabetes incidence, is getting worst rather than better” (Dr Fong).

日记88（2011年11月 27日 ）: 行善
赖老师，
师长说，只要您诚心诚意为众生做事，佛菩萨一定帮忙完成任务。
这一句给末学很大的信心。
很多人是带做半信半疑的态度来看待着这句话。
末学是深信不疑。
这可也是一句很妙的话。
只要去落实就对了。
末学便去做那类很多人不会做，但利益大众的事。
末学出版3语的健康书，然后送出去。
末学开始处理马来文版的 《弟子规》，希望能帮助更多的马来同胞。
善缘相助会出现吗？
会， 而且在慢慢的出现。
做就是了，不问回报。
人生短暂，做好事，不要顾虑。
Just do it.
末学：林廷辉 合十敬礼

日记85（2011年11月 21日 ）: 课程完毕
赖老师，
11月20日的教师家长交流会，末学获益不浅。
自从今年6月，感谢您让末学这位 “插班生”上您的《了凡四训》课程。
这半年来的人生革命对末学一家人实在重要了，尤其是末学个人的人生方向定位。处事的方式柔软了，温和了。
看到末学的改变，家人也在改变中。
内人虽然没有上圣贤教育的课，在很多方面，她的德行是末学的模范。
末学与内人便是在这样的学习中。
女儿也改变了。以前问她，人生的目的是什么，她还要想过。现在，她告诉末学，学习是为了服务大众。
儿子也改变了，慢慢的了解向善的重要。每天和他谈点德行的事，他已知道要孝顺父母，要有礼貌。
末学一家人便这样的接受圣贤教诲。
这一切的改变，真如发梦一样，确是真实的。
这种幸福的感受不是金钱可换取的。
学习 《弟子规》及圣贤教诲将是一生的事。
假期期间，只有更精进，报圣贤恩，众生恩。
感谢您的教诲和分享，感恩您的教导。
