Three calamities and nine calamitiesIn Taoist legends, the three disasters referred to the astral winds, poisonous fire, and five thunders. The nine difficulties referred to the fusion of Qi and vitality in the dantian, the repayment of karma, the return of good and evil, the removal of feelings, the indifference to fame and wealth, the abandonment of greed, the removal of lewdness, the removal of falsehood, the upholding of true self, the detachment of heaven and earth, the broad-mindedness of faith, the firm self-defense, and the never forgetting of the original heart. Other than that, there were the three minor calamities of war, plague, and famine, and the three major calamities of fire, flood, and wind. This was the destruction of large galaxies, not just Earth, but also the solar system, the Milky Way, and other galaxies. It was a cycle of 64 major calamities.
Australia Cali Green ManorCarlei Green Vineyards belonged to Carlei Winery, which was located in the wine-producing region of Victoria, Australia. Cali Winery was awarded a five-star rating in the 2005 Australian Wine Guide written by James Halid. It was known as the Red Five-Star Winery, and the proportion of the Red Five-Star Winery in Australia was less than 3%.
The Cali Green Manor Shiraz was made from grapes from multiple plantations. Its label was Van Gogh's green grape garden painting, which was very collectible. The brewing concept of this wine was somewhat related to Van Gogh's paintings. For example, the rule of thirds divided the picture into two parts, the sky and the earth, which corresponded to the Cambrian-styled Syrah and the granite-sandy Syrah of the southern part of West Coast. The horizon of the continuous grape vines disappeared from left to right in the sky where the line of sight intersected, showing the balance of the brewing process after the harvest, and finally achieving a high degree of unity of ripeness and fruity.
The owner and winemaker of Cali Winery, Sergio, focused on eco-friendly grape cultivation methods. His winery had low land utilization and poor soil, but it did not affect the quality of the grapes. The winery adopted the biodynamic method to cultivate grapes, eliminating all pesticides, collecting feces to make organic fertilizer, high density and low yield, and insisting on hand picking and stemming. The wine produced by the company had a soft texture and a fruity fragrance. For example, the Cali Green Manor Shiraz red wine contained blackberry reduction sauce, black cherries, pipe tobacco, roasted meat, cloves, and dried flowers. The taste was complex and varied. It was very smooth in the mouth with velvety barbs. There was also the taste of chocolate, blackberry thorns, and a little pepper. It was suitable for stewed beef or pizza pies, cheese, salted nut cheese, and other foods.

What are the three calamities and eight calamities?There were many explanations for the three calamities and eight calamities. From the perspective of religion and Taoism, the three disasters were caused by the three major natural disasters, namely, wind disaster, fire disaster and flood disaster. The eight disasters were caused by the difficulty of getting a human way to live, the difficulty of getting rid of a woman and becoming a man, the difficulty of having a complete body, the difficulty of getting a son in the Central Plains, the difficulty of meeting a Taoist monarch, the difficulty of being kind and benevolent, the difficulty of meeting a peaceful country, and the difficulty of meeting the three treasures. The eight difficulties in the thirty-fifth volume of Yunji Qiqian are the first difficulty of not abandoning the Tao heart, the second difficulty of not following a wise teacher, the third difficulty of not staying idle, the fourth difficulty of not giving up worldly affairs, the fifth difficulty of not cutting off love, the sixth difficulty of not making profits, the seventh difficulty of not getting rid of joy and anger, and the eighth difficulty of not stopping lust.
In Buddhism, the three calamities were divided into three major calamities and three minor calamities. The three minor calamities referred to famine, plague, and war in the human world. When the world was destroyed, there would be fire in the first Zen Heaven, wind in the second Zen Heaven, and water in the third Zen Heaven. These were the three major calamities. There are three difficulties in the eight difficulties that belong to the three evil paths, namely hell, hungry ghosts, and animals. The four difficulties of humanity are blind, deaf, dumb, wise, wise, Buddha in front of Buddha and Buddha behind Buddha, and North Kulu. In these situations, it is difficult to hear Buddhism, realize enlightenment and transcend.
In literary works such as Dream of the Red Chamber, the term " three calamities and eight difficulties " was used to describe a child who was born with many illnesses and often encountered misfortune. Another explanation was that the three calamities referred to weapons, famine, and plague.
