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。

Timeless Valentines ~~~


現代戀人,一年見一次面,
能夠貼心永恆流長的,
親愛的,會有嗎?

古代人實在是好浪漫好唯美喲!


祝福
天下有情人心中有愛,
在無限的時間空間裡,
情永恆,愛長存!!



寫於七夕,中秋。。。



入秋之後,才又想起來。。。
有感於,親近的人,真心和善對待我好的人,
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。



Hello Kitty and Panda ~~~

Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you were born to stand out?

為什麼你須要努力的想要溶入群眾,當你是天生的出類拔萃?

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

預鑄建築,膠囊建築

1.丹下鍵三


2. Sky House to Sky City

3. Kurokawa Kisho Nakagin Capsule Tower Building  1972
黑川紀章 "中銀膠囊大樓 "
國立代代木競技館(Yoyogi National Gymnasium)

4. 黑川紀章,東京國立新美術館


佔地 3 萬平方公尺的的國立新美術館是黑川紀章 2007 年完成的設計大作,這個位於東京六本木區的美術館,以波動起伏造型的玻璃帷幕構成壯麗建築外觀,正面玻璃窗為建築內部帶入充足的光線,不帶能省電也能創造內部多重的光影變化,在設計上,黑川紀章使用了慣用的圓錐元素,像是入口的圓盤連接三角錐,以及在大廳為空間帶來壯闊感受的兩座倒圓錐體(如右下圖),在倒圓錐的頂部更分別設置了咖啡廳與米其林三星餐廳。 

5. 稹文彥  "新加坡理工學院校園"
   Maki Fumihiko , Republic Polutechnic Compus, Singapore

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。

Time Keeper inspired thoughts 1 ~

What is the thing that moved man further from the simple light of existence and deeper into the darkness of his own obsessions? 

到底是什麼。。。?
促使人類逐漸走入充滿自我偏執的黑暗,
遠離以光的形式簡單的存在?

Bravo! Jay !

Fashion is very much like Romance...

Gaultier Sunglass, Hermers Bracelet, Agnes be White Shirt   
Fashion is very much like modern Romance that you would love it at the moment, and you would discard it soon for its ephemeral and illusionary qualities!

時尚和現代人的戀愛很相似,
當下你會愛上她,
但不久你將會把它拋棄,


她們都是同樣的短暫與虛無!


Roger Sun:  往往 她只是我們對於完美與出類拔萃的一種永遠無法滿足的偏執追求..

Angel: 精髓!! !不斷的更新不斷的追求另一個自我的滿足的東西,真實到令人著迷,但也極虛幻。。。




Angel : Dear Frances Yes! Long lasting fashion, as so called classic style will not fade and diminish its beauty by time , and so does true love !! Despite all the competitions, I am certain that they will last for at least One century long .....




Poet with Lion in Kenya

Photo by Song in Kenya , Africa

這是前日機場火燒的肯亞,
坐在面對火山口高級餐廳,
斑馬在後院吃草,
大象在家門前小溪用鼻子吸水喝,
花鹿走至門口似乎想進門討食,
鴕鳥悠閒的過馬路,
獅子大牌的慵懶的俯視你,
羚羊成群趕路去。。。

似乎大地才是他們的家,
自由自在的,
人類才是多餘之物,
不足以重視!

不遠處傳來土著歌唱祈禱聲,
與空氣裡不時的鳥鳴及此起比落的走步聲,
呼應著,
像是與大自然一體的,
在警覺中悠然自得。

我們文明的人類在這裡,
唐突的像沒被看在眼裡的皇帝,
又緊張,又興奮,
又慶幸,又感嘆!!

The Coolest Bar in Taipei

Orange,  contrasting color ~~~ 

Yen Bar ~~
Purple Brilliance is the name of this Bar in W-Hotel Taipie where you can experience the  purple atmosphere and the accompaniment of Taipei 101 building, which is a quite unique experience, especially at the New Year Eve !




















As if Im sitting on purple clouds
Covered in purple shrouds
Singing purple kissed melodies loud
The Purple Master himself would be proud

Gifted, these fragrant purple flowers
Soaking wet, drenched from purple showers
Lifted, high high high atop purple towers

Get as I walk through purple haze rooms
Filled with purple phased fumes
Im enlightened by the purple tazed blooms
Purple vibes that remove crazed glooms

Hungry I appetize on purple wood blunts
To then feat upon a purple smoke lunch 
Fade to purple to get me through the Crunch

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 !!

http://www.khyentserecordings.org/namo/Podcasts.html


http://www.siddharthasintent.org/


http://khyentse.org/




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...

Please listen to the Podcasts 20..

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

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。

With Burberry Jacket... On my deck ~~  AlliShan Villa Hotel 
Yes, that is a lovely Prada Sandal.

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。。。
