人間是劇場: Life as Cinema

阿底峽尊者曾說:

當你不再執著此生,你就是修行者;
當你不尊崇世俗的常識,
不尊崇世俗的條理紀律,
當你不介意混亂,
你將開始成為一名好的修行者!


當你被人類驅逐,被流浪狗發現,
被天神尊敬,
亦即佛法的修行人!

你需要有很大的"勇氣",需要有無上的"慈悲",
需要有"禪定"當下的工夫,
需要有: 了解因緣真相與空性的"智慧";

人生中有太多的煩惱及恐懼....
當你自己是病人,當佛陀是醫生,佛法是解藥。
基督教裡教導你要愛你的敵人,愛你的鄰居;
佛家說要你屏除執著自我的攀附!
愛所有的一切,也不執著於一切,
一切的真相皆是因緣所致~
------宗薩仁波切---------

何不把人間所發生的人事物,當做一場又一場的戲?
一場又一場的夢?

金色筆記33 : 失控感....

一天,倘若你迷失了方向,
請尋找一種特別的愛,
他叫做信仰!
Singa 這樣唱著~~

有種前所未有的失控感.....
卻有個內在的聲音告訴我:
世界上沒有什麼是我可以掌控的。。。
雖然我是如此的想要掌控所有的一切。

當我們看到彗星劃過天際,
我們說,看! 好美,許個願吧!
當我們望見飛鳥俯瞰而下的衝刺,
我們說,看! 好神奇...
再下一分鐘,
我們便忘記了他曾經逗留過~~~~~~

為什麼? 我們對身邊的人事物,
卻有著無限的掌控慾 ....?
卻不知,這是世界上最無用的想法與行為...

愛情,更是如此。

是否我給了太少,而讓你哭了?
Singa 這樣唱著~~

我要你幸福,愛義無反顧。
有勇氣,就不怕心荒蕪;
在轉彎之後便有坦途....

我想,愛,便是如此。

每天每隔一小時,暈眩一分鐘。。。
不知為什麼...?

Love waits to be accepted ~~

Love adorns itself;
it seeks to prove inward joy by outward beauty.

Love does not claim possession,
but gives freedom.

Love is an endless mystery,
for it has nothing else to explain it.

Love's gift cannot be given,
it waits to be accepted.
----Tagore ----

At the Ocean Beach.....

Ocean:
Traveling from a little river to an ocean

Tapping back into the forbidden waters that you vowed not to intersect
Drowning yourself in the beauty of the ocean,
this ocean that has hurt and taught so many
This ocean that you can't resist,
something that you have yearned to feel

If people are smaller than the ocean
than that explains a different meaning
why the waves come and wash away the rules that exists in the river
why the ocean can take you away from the main currents
and back into rivers and grasses
that you never thought existed

Why does the ocean lead us on
and get us used to a constant travel then jerks you into a different direction
smashing your feelings against hard rocks
pushing you into rough waters
only to temporarily comfort you
and repeat the cycle again

Maybe the ocean is beyond powerful
for it holds precious jewels and nutrients that help humanity survive

We need its waters,
we crave its roughness
and depend on it to teach us lifelong lessons

The ocean has seen us in our worse moments,
our happiest memories,
our sadiest tragedies.
The ocean has read our thoughts
and washed away parameters

When do we graduate from its tides,
Where do we go after we have progressed from the waters?

Bach J S , BWV 849, Well Tempered Clavier, I Prelude and Fugue #4 In C S...

See from your heart ....

If what you see by the eye doesn't please you,
 then close your eyes and see from the heart.
Because ...
the heart can see beauty and love
more than the eyes can ever wonder.

The Shortest History of EUROPE by John Hirst


你一定愛讀的極簡歐洲史:為什麼歐洲對現代文明的影響這麼深: The shortest history of EUROPE
作者:約翰.赫斯特
原文作者:John Hirst
譯者:席玉蘋
出版社:大是文化
出版日期:2010年

The Shortest Summary:
歐洲文明,是三大匪夷所思的元素組合而成:
1.古希臘和羅馬文化
2.基督教教義(猶太教的一個奇特分支)
3.對羅馬帝國進行侵略的日耳曼蠻族戰士文化。
 
為什麼歐洲老是搶第一?因為沒有一個統一的大國,似中國皇帝般的威權,不同的民族間,城邦間,國家間,不斷的侵略,競爭,融合,學習;不斷的在錯誤中毀滅學習創新成長。致使歐洲在思想上,文學,藝術,科學上,在二十世紀之前,都是搶第一!

A Japanese Love Story: Who Kissed Me...?



當你失去全部記憶,重新認識你自己時,那會是個什麼樣的世界呢...?

在此生此世,我們可能永遠不會再見面...

我會用一顆最誠摯的心,對待我心愛的人,我的親人以及我的朋友們。...。
這兩天感觸很深;

看著一個個她替我挑選的珠寶作品,想起了她的一句話:
每一顆寶石,都是精心之作,要好好欣賞好好保護,好好愛惜。
當我詢問起諮詢費用時,她總是說,好朋友在乎的是心靈的交會!
總記得那兩三小時的電話長談...,
她還特別來告訴我,那幾個名醫很好...

一直以來,我都相信,
現在,永恆的別離發生在身邊了!

我深深覺得,
也許,在我們會心的牽著手,喝著茶,相互笑鬧的同時,
也意味著,在此生此世,我們可能永遠不會再見面...
說來,便熱淚盈眶,只覺得,我們必須~~~...

"珍惜",真誠的珍惜每一分鐘,每一個當下,每個有愛的人!

Wine Tasting....

Guess what do those wine have in common?

Listen to your Heart ...


Definitely it is not a style of decolletage from a enfant terrible, but a rather personal, and closer touch to my heart...

True Love: A Practice for Awakening the Heart 1

Title: True Love: a practice for awakening the heart.
Author: Thich Nhat Hanh

"We must not get caught in the trap of notions and concepts," which includes what is right or wrong, concept of birth and death, concept of being and non being, concept of permanance.

" We are afraid of everything-- of our death, of being alone, of change-- and the practice of Mindfulness helps us to touch nonfear.

In the book, Master Hanh, illustrates that there are four elements of True Love: Understanding, Compassion, Joy, and Equanimity / Freedom.

Nhat Hanh is always good, and poetic, at seeing the deep in the ordinary: how the ring of a telephone can be a call to awareness, how the waste material of human fear and pain can be composted—transformed—into flowers of understanding and hope.

To be continued...

御岳山: A Zen Retreat


It was an escape for me from all suffering that should not occur in mundane life;
however, as I tried to find the nature of mind or the perfectness,
the zen master demanded us to let go of whatever we try to grasp,
including our ego,
and our thinking mind.
In Western Culture,
we call it True Love, or God,
in Buddhism,
we call this Selfless Compassion !

To be born in the Pure Land ....

 Have you ever learned....?

Words from a friend: " My sweet babe, have you ever learned??
Catch the first moment of intuition, be sensitive, keep distance from every coast to coast manipulating opportunitist that you will never know how to play with........., while there is no emotion and sincerity involved....the only two things left are:
Sadness and Depair . " 
I Replied: "  I do believe emotion and sincerity do coexist, I shall remain Caring, Loving and Compassionate! "

Fire and Ice ....

Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

"Fire and Ice"
