Beauty will not fade in the stage of Nirvana ~~

My favorite  , Robucheon 

當你發現一切在世間任何有形無形都是不真實存在，
例如生命，愛情，財富，山河，青春，
美麗的人事物。。。
此時此刻，
你將進入了極度悲傷難過的狀態。。。

這個宇宙所有的遊戲規則，都已是既定的，
我們無法用人為的方法改變，
人的角度，
輪迴是無法改變的。。。

這是ㄧ件很悲傷的事實。。。
人無法定勝於天
除非，不當人！

她說，要安住在悲傷裡。。。
並相信空性的顯現，
寂靜永恆，
那是真我，涅槃，
佛性的真相！

永恆的美麗將在此顯現！

What is beyond the universe ?

It is very sad that life goes on and on ...
Life After death ...there is another life...
soul after soul...
consciousness after conscious ...
Only if  I can go beyond the rules of the universe....
Only  if I shall attend enlightenment ....
I will not be bound by the boundaries....
Only if...

I always wonder how come he is so happy always....

He said in the truth, at the end, you do not need any teacher, any Guru, because all the truth  is within yourself, in your own heart. 11/26/2013

Live Performance on DaVinci's Violia Piano!

A bizarre instrument combining a piano and cello has finally been played to an audience more than 500 years after it was dreamt up Leonardo da Vinci.

Da Vinci, the Italian Renaissance genius who painted the Mona Lisa, invented the ‘‘viola organista’’ - which looks like a baby grand piano – but never built it, experts say.

The viola organista has now come to life, thanks to a Polish concert pianist with a flair for instrument-making and the patience and passion to interpret da Vinci’s plans.

Full of steel strings and spinning wheels, Slawomir Zubrzycki’s creation is a musical and mechanical work of art.

‘‘This instrument has the characteristics of three we know: the harpsichord, the organ and the viola da gamba,’’ Zubrzycki said as he debuted the instrument at the Academy of Music in the southern Polish city of Krakow.

The instrument’s exterior is painted in a rich midnight blue, adorned with golden swirls painted on the side. The inside of its lid is a deep raspberry inscribed with a Latin quote in gold leaf by 12th-century German nun, mystic and philosopher, Saint Hildegard.

‘‘Holy prophets and scholars immersed in the sea of arts both human and divine, dreamt up a multitude of instruments to delight the soul,’’ it says.

The flat bed of its interior is lined with golden spruce. Sixty-one gleaming steel strings run across it, similar to the inside of a baby grand.

Each is connected to the keyboard, complete with smaller black keys for sharp and flat notes. But unlike a piano, it has no hammered dulcimers. Instead, there are four spinning wheels wrapped in horse-tail hair, like violin bows.

To turn them, Zubrzycki pumps a pedal below the keyboard connected to a crankshaft. As he tinkles the keys, they press the strings down onto the wheels, emitting rich, sonorous tones reminiscent of a cello, an organ and even an accordion.

The effect is a sound that da Vinci dreamt of, but never heard; there are no historical records suggesting he or anyone else of his time built the instrument he designed.

A sketch and notes in da Vinci’s characteristic inverted script is found in his Codex Atlanticus, a 12-volume collection of his manuscripts and designs for everything from weaponry to flight.

‘‘I have no idea what Leonardo da Vinci might think of the instrument I’ve made, but I’d hope he’d be pleased,’’ said Zubrzycki, who spend three years and 5000 hours bringing da Vinci’s creation to life.

Nobel Prize Winner ~ " 蛙 " 1 : 莫言 的自我內心的探索

　新浪读书：我记得您曾经说过《蛙》是“裹在皮袍里的小我”，这个“小我”和“大我”有什么区别？

　　莫言：这是我从鲁迅先生一篇文章小说《一件小事》借鉴过来的，小学课本里都有这篇文章，鲁迅先生对这篇文章进行了严格的剖析，我觉得我们应该继承鲁迅先生言语解剖的精神。《蛙》的这部小说也是我自己对人生几十年的回顾，在很多冠冕堂皇的借口之下掩藏着很多个人的私念和私心。《蛙》有一个重要的意义，这个重要意义是面对自我，是面对自己的内心进行挖掘，是一种自我批评的精神。

　　新浪读书：您说过中国当代文学需要有一种知其不可行而要行之的精神，您为什么要这么说，哪些题材是不可行的？

　　莫言：不只是中国当代文学有这个问题，其实人类社会一直面临着这种问题，这实际是孔夫子原来的话，孔夫子要恢复周礼，改善社会政治改革的政治主张，但当时的难度非常大，很多事情不可挽回，也无法推进的，但他为了坚持自己的信念就知其不可行而行之，作家在现在这个社会里，面临经济全球一体化，面临着人类探望的欲望，对物质疯狂的索取，短时间内要解决难度很大，而且很多事情短时间内无法控制，这种情况下，作家要坚持自己的信念，你认为你这个信念是对的，明明知道它很可能说出来不会被任何人听，也不会实行，还是要写到作品里，对世人是一种非常清醒的声音，一种提醒。

An Identity Searching in the Tibetan Suitcase ~~~

Tibetan Suitcase !!!

The Author Tsering said he was compelled to write a novel, in which he went through a journey of searching his own identity. 

You can read those exile Tibentan's  identity confusion of being a Tibetan, an Indian, or an American, and the spiritual hunger in the novel, on top of those political uprising of independence in Tibet. 

Meeting with the author after reading the book was an exciting and insightful experience. 

Berlin Philharmonic's Rite of Spring Inspiration ~~

今晚是柏林愛樂在台北演出的第二場！親眼看見主席指揮家Simon Rattle 臉上投入的表情，,及熱烈嘶吼，實在是此場「春之祭」最令 Angel 感動的時刻！當然無懈可撃的切分節奏，銅管樂嘹亮，令全場秉息的層次乾淨的聲響，專注及細膩的弦樂，等等⋯文字無法形容。。

小提琴家 樫本大進Kashimoto 演出Prolofiev Violin concerto No1 ，很有味道！

Rattle 爵士説：「教育計畫提醒我們，音樂並非奢侈品，而是我們根本的需要。音樂應是每個人生活中一個重要且不可或缺的元素。」

因此他成立了網絡音樂會～
只要加入會員，就可以欣賞柏林愛樂在世界的演奏！

Tonight was the second concert that Sir Simon Rattle conducted the Berlin Philharmoniker in Taipei. From where I was sitting, I can see the total devotion in his facial expression and his shouting, beside the striking syncopated rhythm, the enormous sonority of winds and brass, and the delicacy of strings, it was the most touching moment of this performance " Le Sacre du Pritentemps". No words can describe a live performance !

Solo Violinist Kashimoto gave a very exquisite Prokofiev Violin concerto No1.

Sir Rattle said: "The education programme reminds us that music is no mere luxury , but instead a fundamental need. Music must be a vital and essential element in life of each individual !"

This is the primordial idea of its digital concert hall for Berliner Philharmoniker !

 — at 國家音樂廳 National Concert Hall.

Let's fight all the obstacles !!

You know what you want, but you must make sure others around you realize that you have your own needs as well. Hold to your plans but free your mind to create all that you need. 

A Charity Concert in Taipei

A Charity Concert : 
The Hungarian Radio Symphony Orchestra .
Conductor Tamas Vasary , Soloist Violinist Vilmos Szabadi . — feelingawesome at 國家音樂廳 National Concert Hall.

I do not feel like writing any critics about a passionate and spiritual fulling concert...., which reminded me my college experience when playing as a cellist in the university and in the county orchestra. :)

There is an another thing saddens me that I could not look at  those physical impaired children in their eyes ....Besides, as soon as I know my friend was going to take a leave for 20 months behind bars, I totally fell into a melancholy and retrospective mode. 

Honey Toast ~~~

Honey Toast has been popular for quite a while, but it has not diminished its photogenic charm ! 

Feeling Sweet !! 

OH, Honey.... 

God, I suddenly heard that spicy voice from 2006, a devilish women's voice that hunted one's dreams...well...Lucky me. I am eating them, instead of dealing with these neurotic people  !!

Feeling Loved by my inner God....:)

Buddha Nature in Great Gatsby ~~

Fitzgerald 

If for the slightest moment, I suddenly realize the light or the Buddha Nature within a man's consciousness ,  it is because of him, Jay Gatsby, who upheld all the optimistic hope for humanity ! As we all yearn for the green light and guidance in life, that we strive to reach the other shore while incessantly we were being drawn back to the original starting point. 


Sad, isn't it? However, there is Gastby , a gigantic and romantic hero , who at the end bestowed a hope for audience like us , whithin and whitout the chaotic universe.  

However, not that human beings are so vicious, but they do have their shortcomings that become the cause of the faults others may criticize! 

 “And I like large parties. They’re so intimate. At small parties there isn’t any privacy.” The Great Gatsby 

“So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.” 

“The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.” 

“I hope she'll be a fool -- that's the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby

“I fell in love with her courage, her sincerity, and her flaming self respect. And it's these things I'd believe in, even if the whole world indulged in wild suspicions that she wasn't all she should be. I love her and it is the beginning of everything.” 
― F. Scott Fitzgerald

“Whenever you feel like criticizing any one...just remember that all the people in this world haven't had the advantages that you've had.”  The Great Gatsby

Is Anger a bad thing ?

"I don’t say anger is wrong, I say anger is energy,
pure energy, beautiful energy. When anger arises, be aware of it, and see the miracle happen. When anger arises, be aware of it, and if you are aware you will be surprised; you are in for a surprise – maybe the greatest surprise of your life – that as you become aware, anger disappears. Anger is transformed." #Osho- from Emotions.

 In multiple eBook formats:  Kindle,  Kindle (with video),  Nook,   iBook,  Kobo

Strong emotions that we don’t know how to handle effectively lie at the core of so many difficulties in the life of the individual. They can affect our relationships with loved ones, and how we function in our work. They play a profound role in how we feel about ourselves, and can even affect our physical health. And we are too often trapped in the dilemma of “expression” versus “repression.” Expressing our emotions can often hurt others, but by repressing them – even in the benevolent guise of “self-control” – we risk hurting ourselves. 

Autumn Nature Video & Poetry ～～～

少年不識愁滋味，愛上層樓，

愛上層樓，為賦新詞強說愁。

而今識盡愁滋味，欲說還休，

欲說還休，卻道天涼好個秋！

Once we were so Close, and yet so far...

It is a city of variance; 
It is a city of congruence.
It is a moment of light;
It is a moment of darkness.
Once we were so close,
And yet so far...

When time goes by distance, awareness transgresses its boundaries.
Love is so formidable that
breaches every principle of one's belief . 
Is that the flexibility of mind?
Or the suppression of one's own personal quality and charisma?
Or the practice of non self?

It is the age of innocence;
It is the age of mundane. 
The question is 
how can you live as happily hereafter as all the reoccurrence of drama and trauma in time.

Emptiness and Truth cannot be separated ! 

If I can still understand what I just wrote when I awake in couple hours, I will be one step toward enlightenment I pray... — feeling sleepy.

Adventure of Finding Black Bear in Taiwan ~~~

尋熊記，作者，黃美秀：

在那段「逐熊而居」的日子裡，我「好像愛上寫東西或記錄，它變成是一種冥想的方式，一種習慣，思考與獨處的過程」，「好像它能讓我重新審視這刻骨銘心的生活，為自己記錄生命軌跡的同時，也讓心靈沈澱淨化。這樣一對一的對話，最後反成一種苦難中的莫大享受。並不是為了以後要出書而寫，而是當下的一種歷程。這使我想起一些在集中營或牢獄的人，會利用時間偷偷寫作，這是一種寄託，也是一種生命的展現。每個人都有能力去選擇安置靈魂的方法。苦讓生命深刻了……」

（二○○○年八月五日16:20）。如今，我方了解這種自我對話本是一種自我治療、安撫、激勵的過程，尤其是當深處於不確定及困難的環境中，比如捉或追不著熊、三番兩次遇到颱風、病痛求助無門等。
然而，對於此書的出版，我一直有幾分惶恐，除了涉及私人札記的公開以外，將自己過去做研究時的種種錯誤、遲疑、惶恐，以及批評意見如此昭告天下，也是很恐怖的事。但是，如果說我在黑熊的研究過程中，是不斷從錯誤中學習，從挫敗中站起來，自是盼望其他後學亦能從我的經驗中減少日後嘗試錯誤的機會、進一步了解野外研究的可能實況。


另一方面，也希望這些故事能讓讀者認識所謂的「野生動物研究者」，絕非鎮日身著迷彩裝、脖掛望遠鏡、背負背包，在風光明媚的山林裡終日與研究的動物為伍，一副不食人間煙火的逍遙模樣。在真實世界裡，野外工作有時面臨的是最基本的求生訓練，而長期離群索居、週而復始的研究工作，有時也絕非單純地個人興趣可以支撐或解釋的。藉著分享我於野外研究第一線上的見聞和心情故事，期望國人對台灣深山這後花園的蠻荒原始與寶貴，以及瀕危的台灣黑熊多一分認識，進而對我們共同生長的這片土地多一分疼惜。這才是出版此書的最重要的動機，雖然並非最初動機。

又快離開了。。。

人世，
如此短暫。   
前世今生，  

如風吹動湖水，波心漣漪 ，

擴散著，散佈著，直到能量消逝的那秒鐘。
傷悲，無奈，可惜。。。還是慶幸？ 

世界，就是這樣

別想太多，永遠沒有答案的，

認真的學習，天真的玩，真心的創造，

用心的觀察自己的起心動念，

也許，在最沒有預期的某一天，

將會明瞭這宇宙間的一切奧妙。。。

時間是無止境的，生命也是連續不斷的。。。

只不過是用不同形式在進行。

The Future City : Metabolism Architecture

代謝派未來都市展～～～

"Metabolism" was an architectural movement committed to the future development of urban and architectural exploration, a forerunner of contemporary Japanese Architecture movement. The only architectural movement to have begun in Asia, it has played an influential role in the development of international architecture.

The main idea behind this movement emphasized that cities and architecture should exist like living organisms that keep growing, reproducing and transforming in response to their natural and social environments.

It was established by a group of young critics , architects and designers, including 丹下健三 Tange Kenzo ，Kurokawa Kisho 黑川紀章，菊竹清訓Kikutake Kiyonori  and Maki Fumihiko 慎文彥who participated in the 1960 " World Design Conference" held in Tokyo. Their vision of declaration stated , " Not only should we accept the history of metabolism, we should also actively encourage metabolic development of our city.

The Objectives of this movement are focused on  Prefabricaion and Capsule Architecture , of which had a tremendous influence on the development of the future architectures in the city design in the world. 預鑄建築，膠囊建築

6. 菊竹清訓 太陽能屋，層構造預製件

樹木的生長型態也是菊竹清訓構思垂直群落的靈感來源，他曾於1968年提出「樹狀居所」（Tree-shaped Community）的都市住宅概念，「樹狀居所」是以建築中央之主結構體為核心，向外生長出數個由梯田型態所組成的居住群落，每5個樓層形成一個基本群落生活單位，中央結構體內部則配置了提供每個居住群落使用的公園空間，形成一種綠地立體化，甚至是垂直森林的空間樣貌，而此般高空綠化的觀念，在當代的建築裡已成為常見的設計手法，菊竹清訓在1994年完成的作品「東京索菲特飯店」（Hotel Sofitel Tokyo），在建築外觀上也採用了近似於「樹狀居所」的型態概念。
