Timeless Travel ~~~

Rothenberg, Germany 

今天鎢金堪布說，
每一個時間裡的意識都是不相同的，
我們生生世世的生命是由這些點串連起來的...！

Angel 花了好一段思索才似乎了解這裡的奥妙。
原來，我們並不是以靈魂存在的。。。
而我們的意識也不是固定一個型態，而是顯現而無自性，

。。。

親愛的。。。
我不能說前世的我，
與你在這美麗的德國小鎮相遇，
現在的心和前世的心相同，
只不過，
我們基因裡有著這樣甜蜜的記憶，
因緣而生而因緣滅。。。

不過因緣中的因也都是某個當下意識所造就。

親愛的你，
也許此生我認得你，
也許我已忘記了你，
在台北，在柏林，在青海，在菩提迦葉。。。
終究，意識河流永恆持續，
找不到起點，更找不到終點。

不是完全偶然，
我們卻都聞過相同的玫瑰花香，
燃燒森林的氣味。。。

真的，
我們是一霎時一霎那的串連
而存在，
而相遇，
或許相知，相戀，
或許相仇，相斥，
原來，
是這樣的無知。。。
才有今日的搜尋探索。

那真正的我，
浩瀚，全知，清淨的。。。
在虛空𥚃等待。

Dzongsar Kheyntse Rinpoche's Site : Understanding the Truth and Magic of the Universe

Dzongsar Kheyntse Rinpoche's Speeches from 2006 to 2013 !!

The Buddha Path : Everything in the world is perceived by our mind, our own perception. Nothing will change until your perception changes of someone, something or  the universe.

As everything functions, that means everything has a cause , condition and effect, but non of them can be taken as the ultimate truth. Truth and non truth ( illusion /  fake )  cannot be separated, which can be seen as metaphor alike shadow and light. Good and evil cannot be separated, as  they are not one . 

As water and moisture, none of both can be separated, and cannot be independent as well, while both are functioning.
If we cannot understand this" truth, and magic" , we have not obtained the essence of Buddha's teaching.

All of our fear, hope, jealousy , love have magic power, because they are both true and illusion...

Wine Tasting : French ~~~

A Lovely Wine Tasting Luncheon with good friends ~~

Chateau Grand Puy Lacoste, Pauillac
Parker: 

The brilliant 2005 Grand-Puy-Lacoste exhibits classic Pauillac aromas and flavors of creme de cassis along with stony/floral notes. Proprietor Xavier Borie has created a wine that should rival the brilliant 1982, 1990, 1996, and 2000. Full-bodied with sweet tannin and superb length (a 40+ second finish), the purity of this beauty’s black currant fruit is something to behold. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2030

Score: 95

I am the Light ! from Dzongsar Rinpoche.

宗薩仁波切說 ：" 儀式，是很重要的。"

以下是Angel 心得： " 儀式，是很重要的。"

因為人類不願意相信，自己本來就是佛，本是無染的清淨的慈悲的智慧的，無生無死。。。。
但是我們寧願相信自己是懶惰的，迷信的，盲從的，貪婪的，有始有終的。
儀式的目的就是為了要來洗刷這個迷思，
儀式創造的一種氣氛，規範，與魔力，
因此人們才漸漸開始相信自己原本是清淨的智慧的神通廣大的。。。

金剛乘裡，小小闡述了加行法會的重要性。 — listening to Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse Rinpoche.

回眸。。。。。
這是清晨的一個小儀式，在森林裡觀想自己吸取著大地精華，
奉獻著心中僅有的天真的愛，祈禱著哪一天，Angel 回到那光芒裡翱翔！
宇宙間的一切，在自然的智慧中，不必要那樣的刻意，那樣的造作。。。
就可以很開心！

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" Or Trust your gut feeling?

This Following Short Interview is very inspiring as well! Although I personally do believe in intuition which relates to intrinsic mind rather than experiences, Dr. D. Kahneman objects to be overly confident about relying our intuition itself.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=mWaIE6u3wvw

When we meditate and be focused and mindful, we shall be in the stage of intrinsic emptiness, or so called nature of mind, or Buddha nature, we are definitely bestowed more magnificent, wise, and powerful ability than merely using our humanly analytical mind, the system 2. However, if we are not truly intact with our intrinsic mind, we should not reply on it, for it will make false judgement.

Lovely French Restaurant in Mid Taiwan

We had a relaxed and delightful luncheon with Chef Michelle Chen 陳嵐舒 at Le Mout.   All the dishes were very creative, delicious, filled with various flowery aroma and delicate display. Not to mention the atmosphere were quite classic and friendly ! 

Pretty Sweet Vegi appetizer,  Lavender dessert, and the Best Beef Tenderloin in Taiwan ~~

Wearing the latest Gaultier bright yellow vest while looking out the window ,  I suddenly felt oneness with the nature once again after AlliShan,  as a vital green garden appeared in the eye and the water canal at the front ....

Walking in the Cloud in Taiwan

來到阿里山賓館，好像是走進台灣歷史，
歷代中華民國總統，外國大使，新加坡總理，都在此留下足跡。
這個仙境般的雲海景觀，拍攝於總統套房的陽台，很美，

I  took a relaxing bath in the woods ~~ 

可惜下著小雨，霧氣太大，沒有看見綿密深厚的雲層。

清晨六點，呼吸著些微稀薄但清新草香及檜木香的空氣，路上沒有其他的遊客，格外興奮。
依稀記得小時候五歲時與父母來過，好像時空回朔到當年純樸的小火車鐵路時代。

Where to discover your fortune?

The Poet in front of Mt. Kilimanjaro ....

小時侯覺得徐至摩的詩，談情寫景情感細膩濃郁，
並無發現他對生命人性有極深刻的體悟，
昨夜，
重讀他的詩集，
突然發覺，他
內心的深遠。。
真的是很熱烈的燃燒著觀察著人生。

擷取。。" 夜 "

不必問，跟著我來不會錯的。
我是宇宙的樞紐，
我是光明的泉源，
我是生命的生命，
我是詩魂的 響導，

不要多心，
跟我來不會錯的。。。。

我教你入水，
你不要怕淹，
我教你導火，
你不要怕燒，
我教你跟我走，
你不要問我是誰。。。。

我不再那裡，也不再這裡，
但只隨便哪裡都有我，
若是萬象都是空的幻得，
我是中古不變的真理與實在！

你要真鎮定，
須向狂風暴雨裡求去，
你要真幸福，
須向真痛裡嚐去。。。

Ginastera Piano Concerto No. 1- 1st Mov

Alberto Ginastera - Argentinian Dance No. 2

http://www.boosey.com/pages/cr/composer/composer_main.asp?composerid=2699&ttype=BIOGRAPHY&ttitle=Biography

Alberto Ginastera was the leading Argentinian composer of the twentieth century.  
He was born in Buenos Aires in 1916 .

Alberto Ginastera first came to international attention in the1940s with two ballet scores, Panambí andEstancia, employing nationalist style * From 1952 onwards combined folkloric elements with serial techniques and indeterminacy * Late 1950s and 60s saw series of major US premieres, including Piano Concerto No.1 (Washington), Violin Concerto (New York Philharmonic/Bernstein), Harp Concerto(Philadelphia Orchestra/Ormandy) and Don Rodrigo (New York City Opera) * In 1967 second opera Bomarzowas premiered in Washington, but Buenos Aires production was banned for political reasons and not staged until 1972 * Married cellist Aurora Natola in 1971 and left Argentina for new home in Geneva * Late works, in which folk influences are fully subsumed into a rich and multi-coloured modern idiom, include opera Beatrix Cenci, Glosses for orchestra, Piano Concerto No.2 and two cello concertos

Works by Alberto Ginastera include:
Dances from Estancia (1941) for orchestra 
Variaciones concertantes (1953) for chamber orchestra 
Bomarzo (1966-67) Opera in two acts 
Popul Vuh [The Creation of the Maya World] (1975-83) for orchestra

Looking Ahead: Ginastera’s centenary celebration takes place in 2016.

"To compose, in my opinion, is to create an architecture... In music, this architecture unfolds in time... When time has past, when the work has unfolded, a sense of inner perfection survives in the spirit. Only then can one say that the composer has succeeded in creating that architecture." — Alberto Ginastera

Alberto Evaristo Ginastera (Spanish pronunciation: [alˈβerto eβaˈɾisto xinasˈteɾa]; April 11, 1916 – June 25, 1983) was an Argentine composer of classical music. He is considered one of the most important Latin American classical composers.^[1]

Paris Sidewalk in Taipei ~~

Feeling as Sitting at the sidewalk in Paris ..... 

Angel 覺得現代人口中的「我愛你」三個字，好廉價。可列入最佳騙人台詞罷了！！

以下是第六世達賴的文字：
好唯美！！

谁，执我之手，敛我半世癫狂；
　　谁，吻我之眸，遮我半世流离；
　　谁，抚我之面，慰我半世哀伤；
　　谁，携我之心，融我半世冰霜；
　　谁，扶我之肩，驱我一世沉寂。
　　谁，唤我之心，掩我一生凌轹。
　　谁，弃我而去，留我一世独殇；
　　谁，可明我意，使我此生无憾；
　　谁，可助我臂，纵横万载无双；
　　谁，可倾我心，寸土恰似虚弥；
　　谁，可葬吾怆，笑天地虚妄，吾心狂。
　　伊，覆我之唇，祛我前世流离；
　　伊，揽我之怀，除我前世轻浮。

　　执子之手，陪你痴狂千生；
　　深吻子眸，伴你万世轮回。
　　执子之手，共你一世风霜；
　　吻子之眸，赠你一世深情

　　我，牵尔玉手，收你此生所有；
　　我，抚尔秀颈，挡你此生风雨。
　　予，挽子青丝，挽子一世情思；
　　予，执子之手，共赴一世情长；
　　曾，以父之名，免你一生哀愁；
　　曾，怜子之情，祝你一生平安!
