澳洲淘金熱

推動了巴拉瑞特等城鎮的繁榮。

最繁華的大都會之一。


秋高氣爽的午後來到疏芬山 (Sovereign Hill) 。

攜家帶眷的老少婦孺

前來此地體驗當年淘金情節。

遙望遠方裊裊炊煙⋯

往日時光彷彿重現眼前。

Come to Sovereign Hill 

in the afternoon of autumn.

People with their families

come here to experience 

the plot of gold panning.

Seeing the smoke curling up from chimneys in the distance...

The scenes of the past 

seems to reappear in front of me.

戰爭與和平 - War and peace

  


盈珍攝影 -  Ying Chen photography


羅馬天主教教宗良十四世

(Pope Leo XIV)

於2026年4月在聖伯多祿大教堂

(St. Peter's Basilica)

和平祈禱守夜活動中說:

「不要再崇拜自我與金錢!不要再炫耀權力!

不要再有戰爭!

真正的力量體現於為生命服務。」


他斥責煽動戰爭者,

呼籲各國領袖停止戰火。

他說:

「天主不祝福任何衝突」,

絕不站在投擲炸彈的一方。

國際社會有道德責任

在戰爭無法挽回前予以制止。」

「 暴力永遠不是正確的選擇。」

「 我沉痛的呼籲以和平行動

替代流血衝突,

治癒戰爭帶來的長遠創傷。」



的確。

科技愈發達、物質愈文明。

然而心靈若是日益空虛⋯

那將會是人類無法承受的重。


時至今日,人類正走向毀滅的

不歸路 -

貪婪、自私、強權霸凌、

戰爭、道德淪喪的邪惡深淵。


唯有回歸善良本性,

消除貪欲私心,

追求和平,順應天道,

社會才會有真正的自由與安樂。


Pope Leo XIV of the Roman Catholic Church was held at St. Peter's Cathedral in April 2026. Peter's Basilica) said in the peace prayer wake :


“ Stop worshipping the self and money! 

No more flaunting power! 

No more war! 

True strength is found in serving life. “

He rebuked those who incited 

the war,

Call on the leaders of all countries to stop the war.

“ Help us to proclaim clearly that

God does not bless any conflict, 

and that the disciples of Christ, the King of Peace, never stand on the side of those 

who held swords yesterday and throw bombs today “


“ Violence is never

 the right choice. “


" I painfully appeal to all parties involved to take on their moral responsibility to stop the vicious cycle of violence before it becomes an irremediable abyss! " 



Definitely,

The more science and technology 

are developed 

and the more material

civilisation is.

However, if the heart is increasing empty…

The more unbearable it will be.


Today, human beings are on the road of 

no return to destruction -

The abyss of evil of power bullying,

 war, greedy, selfish and moral degradation.


Only to return to the good nature,

eliminate greed and selfishness,

pursue peace 

and manifestation of natural law,

there will be real freedom 

and peace in society.
