The relationship between a tree and my life

[How many times we're about to see the relationship between the start and an end?]

I dare to say that many times when we hear something
see something, we will have a visual of an ending.

Then we will backtrack from the end and find
the relationship between the start and the end.
Then we realize that we make more mistakes by doing so.

"Why must we walk forward with our back facing the front?"

One day,
I was looking at a tree,
I realize that I can't stop looking at the beautiful green leaves it has.
I looked at it's stems, branches and the trunk,
realizing how dull and boring they are.
I assume that so is the root,
but on the soil where the tree sits on is green and noisy.

The relationship between the leaves and the soil is like many things in life.
The soil is where it all started and the leaves it's where it all ends...

Do not assume or conclude something until you experience it.
If the ending is so important, ask yourself again,
"Why not I just die now?"

-

From this I could say that,
do not just look at the leaves only.
Look at the every parts of the tree.
The leaves
The stems
The branches
The trunk
The root

Understand The Root of anything that aroused your interest.

It's my life

Before you even carry on reading, empty your mind. Empty your cup, in order to taste my cup of water you must first empty your cup. Abandon your preconceived fixed ideas (drop your judgments) and be neutral. Space is only useful when it is not being used. In any situation, in life, in relationship, in friendship, etc (I can go on and on...), if only you be neutral, you will find the truth.

The very principle of my life is that, life is never stagnation, it is pliable (flexible). Allow me to say that one is soft and pliable when one is alive, only rigid when one is dead, as a result I can say that pliability is life; rigidity is death, whether one speaks of man's body, his mind or his spirit.

At this point of time, bear in mind that I seek neither your approval nor to convince you not more teach you. I know I am not in any position to teach you what your life is. I never told what life was about, even if someone did, it is not my life. It is my life who teaches my what is living. Life itself is my teacher, and we are in the state of constant learning, exploring, making mistakes, realizing, improving.....etc.

Life is like water, it flows, living will not stop only if you're rigid (dead), it is a perpetual movement. There is nothing fixed. Whatever problems happen to be in the future, they cannot remain stationary but must move together with your living spirit, to avoid artificiality (man creation). In order to do so, changes have to be made and be flexible. Remember, the usefulness of a cup is in its emptiness. Like water again, living is constantly process of relating too. Do not stay in the shell of isolation and conclusion, and relate directly to what is being said, and make up your mind as to "this is this" or "that is that". Start to explore and reflect and relate everything. Life must be understood from moment to moment.

There is no border nor frontier in life, no right or wrong in a way. I don't live up to people's judgment nor conclusion, alternatively they do not live up to mine. I am here again say that, I am not teaching them nor influence them. Life is not to be traded and conceptualized and squeezed into a pattern of systems, it is simply the effects of feelings. Like what James Allen said, "A man is literally what he thinks". Everything is in the state of mind. If things ain't broken, do not try to fix it, but can be improve.

The reason of living is to express ourselves honestly and freely, and to express myself, I have to create. If I am happy, I smile, a smile uniquely mine.

Life is simple when profit is discarded, cleverness abandoned, selfishness eliminated, and desire reduce. It is a life of perfection in which I feel to be incomplete, and of fullness which seems to be empty. In which it is a life of harmony, unity, contentment, tranquility, constancy, enlightenment, peace and long life.

How was my cup of drink?

Life is too short for negative energy, enjoy the flow in the water, discover yourself and express your honestly and freely, and you will enjoy your planning as well as your accomplishment. Free the negative energy fast and utterly whenever you have it.

See the value to Unfamiliarity and beauty in discomfiture

Can we get to the truth without any beauty?
If we try to arrive at the truth using beauty, we’ll get stuck at the level of appearances.
As a result, we have to get to the truth directly.
It would all look a bit raw.
But I still think that real beauty lies in the truth.
It may be ugly and gross.
It’s just too bad if you can’t stand it.

生死的修行法

我自己有一个很简单的，关于生死的修行方法：

每天睡觉时就想，今天睡着了，明天不会再起来了。
这样想就可以睡得很好，
因为想到明天没有什么事干扰我，
就会放下今天的一切忧伤，
甚至放下以前的一切忧伤，
就不会对这个世界有所计较，
也就不会想到有人欠我一万元，
打车去向他要一万元，
要一万元回来做什么？

明天就要死了，
躺下来安心地休息吧！
明天可能就死了，
我们的死就好像睡眠一样。

有人想：“明天就会死，这样太消极了！”
不会消极，明天醒来，张开眼睛赶快爬起来，
因为还没有死，还有一天可活。
如果我们珍惜每一天，知道生命是无常的，
就不会顶撞父母，把爱放在一天里，就不会和亲人争吵，
会珍惜和孩子、同事在一起的。

若讨厌的同事坐在你旁边，
想到明天可能会离开这个世界，
就不会那么讨厌他。

若想到还有很长的时间要和他做同事，才会讨厌。

如果每天都做一个生死的观想，
就没有什么可以讨厌的了，
这样就可以每天都好好的睡着，
第二天又可以充满精神醒过来。

純心

天真可以是年輕無知,
但成人能修練得一份純真的心,
卻是不易為的.

份純真的心,就是沒有自己的私心.
看世界就是世界,不是我的世界;
看事看物都由這些事物原本的角度看,
沒加上自己的判斷.

判斷是"我"經驗及學習的結果,
放棄判斷, 即是放棄"我",
觀人如是, 觀物如是(as such),
一切由它而不是由我.

能如此(如是)看世界及人, 物, 事;
可能就是一份純真的心吧.

是福不是祸，是祸躲不过

以前誤解'是福不是祸，是祸躲不过'這句話,
認為意思是一切順其自然.
當我深入了解後才明白裡頭的道理.

遇順境,處之淡然
是非天天都有,不聽自然無

人為善,福雖為至,禍以遠離
人為惡,禍雖為至,福已遠離

事物發展的必然性

也就是說,
你認為事情是好,
結果一定是好.

物质世界里有唯物唯心的说法,
但是在自己的精神世界里,
没有这样的强制性规定,
人,就是生活在自己的信念里的.
世上的任何一句话,只要你认为是正确的,
他就是正确的.

塞翁失马的故事听过吗?
他的儿子摔断了腿,
他认为是福,结果它就是福.

不管事情是福是禍,
自信的告訴自己是福...

這樣就比較好過,
不要鑽牛角尖.
事情發生了,
就選擇往好的方面去想.

自己的命运是在自己的手上的,
选择什么样的人生都在于你自己,
永远不要信命.

Art of Living

Being dazed, lost, and confused, is only symptom,
this "problem" becomes an opportunity to test yourself.
And isn't that what life is all about -
putting yourself on the line in a situation where you test yourself to rise to another level?
It's simply an evolutionary step along the path of living.

The art of living is finding places where silence works better than words.

66kg

In the 1st lesson of my Grey Matters
Sawn asked the class
"Can you come out with a question related to 66kg?"

-

Spontaneous respond from class:

"What is after 65kg?"
"How heavy are you?"
"How heavy is your bag?"
etc.

Until Linli
(Our Lawyer Student in Art College)

"How do you get to 66kg?"

[The End]

How heavy is this glass of water

A speaker raised a glass of water and asked

"How heavy is this glass of water?"

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer replied,

"The absolute weight doesn't matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it."

“If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes."

He continued,

"And that's the way it is with stress management.

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won't be able to carry on."

"As with the glass of water, you have to put it down for a while and rest before holding it again.

When we're refreshed, we can carry on with the burden."

“SO before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down

Don't carry it home.

You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now, let them down for a moment if you can.

Relax; pick them up later after you've rested.

Life is short. Enjoy it!"

Some ways of dealing with the burdens of life:
•
Accept that some days you're the pigeon, and some days you're the statue.
•
Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them.
•
Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of it.
•
Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
•
If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.
•
If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.
•
It may be that your sole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.
•
Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on.
•
Nobody cares if you can't dance well. Just get up and dance.
•
Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.
•
The second mouse gets the cheese.
•
When everything's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.
•
Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.
•
You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person..
•
We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty and some are dull. Some have
weird names, and all are different colors, but they all have to live in the same box.
•
A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Human

Human, the intelligence creation of God.
Never satisfied with today but optimistic about tomorrow.
But these are the minority.
They are the minority that make major changes in life.

-

Indulgence, Jealousy, Fear, Greedy, Laziness
The nature weakness of us.
We indulgent about what we created.
We jealous of what we don't have.
We fear of ourselves.
We are greedy of what we already have.
We are lazy of what we are unsatisfied.
