Dear Life by 2013 Nobel Prize Winner Alice Munro


 
My Newet Book ~
" Dear Life "    by Alice Munro 
In story after story in this brilliant new collection, Alice Munro pinpoints the moment a person is forever altered by a chance encounter, an action not taken, or a simple twist of fate. Her characters are flawed and fully human: a soldier returning from war and avoiding his fiancée, a wealthy woman deciding whether to confront a blackmailer, an adulterous mother and her neglected children, a guilt-ridden father, a young teacher jilted by her employer. Illumined by Munro’s unflinching insight, these lives draw us in with their quiet depth and surprise us with unexpected turns. And while most are set in her signature territory around Lake Huron, some strike even closer to home: an astonishing suite of four autobiographical tales offers an unprecedented glimpse into Munro’s own childhood. Exalted by her clarity of vision and her unparalleled gift for storytelling, Dear Life shows how strange, perilous, and extraordinary ordinary life can be.

2013諾貝爾文學獎得主 艾莉絲.孟若封筆之作
  在這部卓越的小說集中,艾莉絲.孟若描寫出一個人因為某次意外的遭遇、決定不做什麼,或僅僅是因為一個簡單的命運轉折,而從此改變了一生,讓他或她離開原本的道路,選擇新的存在或思考方式。

  孟若筆下的人物是有缺陷的,而且非常人性化:來到異鄉參加她第一次文學宴會的詩人,與老練的報紙專欄作家猛然滋生情愫;剛離開戰場的士兵,原本該回到自己的未婚妻身邊,卻選擇在目的地的前一站跳下火車;富裕的年輕女人與為她父親處理地產事務的已婚律師發生不倫之戀;通姦的母親和她被忽略的孩子;內疚的父親……透過孟若堅定的洞察力,這些生命以它們寧靜的深度吸引著我們,並以意外的轉彎使我們驚訝——

  〈抵達日本〉年輕的女詩人第一次參加她的文學界宴會,孤寂的席間與一名記者互生好感,儘管無疾而終,卻在接下來決定帶著女兒、橫越大陸,奔赴一趟過程與結局都出人意料的旅程。

  〈離開馬佛利〉家教嚴謹的女孩,某日竟在下班途中人間蒸發、不見蹤影;數年之後,曾於夜晚護送她返家的員警竟發現她帶著一雙兒女悄悄回到鎮上。但是,這女孩不僅再度離開了小鎮,還留下了兩個孩子……

  〈採礫場〉與巡迴劇團裡的年輕演員發生婚外情的母親,帶著兩個女兒搬出原本的家,跟肚裡孩子的生父住到城鎮邊緣的採礫場拖車裡,等待生產。隨著冬天過去,原本看似自由的重生一如廢棄採礫場中的融雪,竟化作美麗卻薄弱的一潭深水。

  〈天堂〉受人景仰的小鎮醫生,年輕時便因故與姊姊分道揚鑣、再不相往來;多年後,姊姊隸屬的室內三重奏巡迴到鎮上表演,醫生的妻子瞞著丈夫,邀請鄰居與三位音樂家來到家中同歡。然而,小鎮醫生回到家時,音樂會卻尚未結束。

  〈自尊〉為鎮上銀行家之女處理會計事務的男子,兩人都因父母雙亡、長大後又單身,結成一股彼此照料卻又踏不進婚姻的交情。

  〈柯莉〉富家女與為其父處理地產事宜的律師發展出不倫之戀。不久,一名女僕寄來了勒索信,兩人商討出一個解決辦法——並得到一個出人意料的答案。

  〈火車〉剛退伍的年輕人,本來應該要回到故鄉、與他的未婚妻團圓,卻選擇在前一站跳下火車,進入一塊陌生的農場,與另一名陌生女子展開另一種人生。

  〈湖景〉年長的婦人為了治療記憶方面的毛病,得去另一座城市看另一個專科醫生。她提前一天開車到達目的地,發現自己來到一個彷彿卡夫卡小說中的城市。

  〈多莉〉為文壇二線文人作傳的文字工作者,與登門推銷化妝品的婦人結為好友,直到某日婦人的車拋錨、沒辦法離開,只得留下過夜。誰想得到,那婦人竟是自己丈夫的舊識……

  〈終曲〉收錄四篇孟若的半自傳故事:眼、夜、聲音、親愛的人生。

  本書收錄的14篇故事,大多發生在她的家鄉休倫湖附近,某些甚至離她的家很近——而一組驚人的四篇自傳體故事,則提供了讀者一個前所未有的、得以窺探孟若自身童年的機會。在她清晰的視野與無與倫比的說故事天賦下,《親愛的人生》展現了生活可以怎樣地古怪、危機四伏,又極度地平凡。

This was where everything started ~~~

花底離愁三月雨.....

夜裡,

思念著這個地方。

聲聲的海濤般的梵音,

原來,

許多的緣起都在燈火明亮

這一刻⋯

你常住我心底,

無二無別。。。

Participating is the key to happiness ~~


Have you ever seen night going ?
Very few people even become aware of things which are happening every day. Have you ever seen the evening coming ? The sunrise and it's beauty?

There is so much joy all around , and you just have to be aware of it. Become a participant , not a spectator !

Philosophy is speculation. Zen is participation. Participate in the night leaving , participate in the evening coming , participate in the stars and participate in the clouds ; make participation your lifestyle and the whole existence becomes joy, such an ecstasy . You could not have dreamt of a better universe . ~~~Osho

2014 New Wood Horse Year message from Dzongsar Rinpoche ~~~


28 February, 2014 from Dzongsar Keyntse Rinpoche

Buddha’s teaching on dependent arising distinguishes him from all others as the supreme expounder of the truth. Once dependent arising has been pointed out to us, it’s a truth so blatantly obvious that we wonder how we missed it. Yet in our daily lives, our craving for independence is so strong that we forget how entirely dependent we really are.

We may notice that we depend on food, for example, on shelter and even friendship, but we forget, or perhaps fail to notice, the fine and intricate web of subtle phenomena upon which we are equally reliant. And because we ignore this reality, we find ourselves falling over and over again into a realm of disappointment, where we become numb because we are too hopeful and then sink into the agony of hopelessness.

But the truth is that our conditioning rules us. We both create conditions and depend on conditions, some of which are good, and others we wouldn’t wish on our worst enemies. Those of us alive today are extremely fortunate because the name of Shakyamuni Buddha still exists and still has meaning. Shakyamuni Buddha is therefore an important condition, a "dependent arising," that can help us shape our lives.

This Losar, to strengthen dependent arising, I would like to ask all those who follow the Buddha’s Dharma, and all my friends, to accumulate 100 million mantras of dependent arising as quickly as we can, and to pray fervently that the Buddhadharma continues to flourish and spread throughout the world.

How to Practice

Visualize Shakyamuni Buddha high in the sky before you. He is surrounded by his disciples—monks, laypeople, arhats, bodhisattvas, and mahasattvas—who gaze at you with compassion. As you chant the mantra, rays of light emanate from their hearts, and the conditions of everything touched by this light instantly become auspicious and truly beneficial. If you prefer, you can visualize Shakyamuni Buddha sitting directly above your head.

Please count the number of mantas you say, even if you only recite one. As soon as a system for collecting your accumulations has been put in place, we will let you know how to contribute your total toward our collective goal of 100 million.

om ye dharma hetu prabhawa | hetun teshan tathagato hyavadat | teshan tsa yo nirodha | ewam vade mahashramanah soha

故事大綱‧‧‧
一段戰事,五個情人,誰才是她一生摯愛?
動盪不安的年代往往最能造就不凡。女子一生愛情至上,總是飛快墜入情網、敢愛敢恨,卻怎麼也未料,大時代竟開了她一個最無情的玩笑。因為一樁命案審判,她回顧一生刻骨銘心、曲折離奇的情史,數段曾與青梅竹馬、德國軍官、紐約拳手、美國富豪等情人甜蜜相偎的日子,最後都在她生命留下痛心的烙印。知名律師洞悉她的內心傷痕,在辯護的同時,也試圖用愛帶她逃離往事,航向人生的新旅程…。


關於電影‧‧‧
戰火燒不盡纏綿愛戀,刻骨銘心的尋愛旅程
以女子一生傳奇的愛情故事為主軸,採倒敘手法,將時光拉回二戰時期的法國,回溯男歡女愛的同時,也見證大時代所造就的悲歡離合。本片乃法國名導克勞德雷路許(Claude Lelouch)集50年執導精華之大成,鏡頭聚焦在男女間的浪漫眼神,將女性的情感矛盾揮灑得淋漓盡致。導演以四○年代法國香頌《愛還剩什麼Que Reste T Il De Nos Amours》貫穿全片,更巧妙置入《亂世佳人》等經典老片的片段,不露痕跡地將黑白片走入彩色片的電影事紀做了最精彩的回顧;片尾更來一記回馬槍,藉一幕浪漫絕美的吻戲,為自己50年導演生涯做出註腳。法國音樂才子羅宏庫松(Laurent Couson)首戰銀幕便挑大樑任男主角,片中大展音樂才華,自彈自唱間流露自信魅力。


關於導演‧‧‧
《偶然與巧合》大導 克勞德雷路許 史詩浪漫愛情鉅作
法國大導克勞德雷路許生於1937年,幾乎部部作品皆瀰漫法式愛戀的誘人香氣,擅以優雅華麗又行雲流水的運鏡,佐以浪漫雋永的配樂,探索「愛情」這個命題的眾多面向。
雷路許幼年時為躲避戰亂迫害,常藏身於戲院,因此有大量的觀影經驗,亦與電影結下不解之緣。他曾於服役其間拍攝過數部短片,23歲即創立獨立製片公司。長期浸淫於電影世界,使他在往後作品中呈現高度掌控度,不論是編劇與架構皆流露著自信。
雷路許成名甚早,1966年就以《男歡女愛》榮獲坎城影展金棕櫚獎,以及包括奧斯卡最佳外語片等42項國際大獎,奠定他在國際影壇的地位。多產的他至今拍過47部電影,其中包含《戰火浮生錄》、《男女使用手冊》、《偶然與巧合》等經典鉅作。他對男女情愛糾葛的描繪尤為精湛,旁及戰爭、社會百態、文化落差等議題,風格唯美氣勢磅礡。


卡司陣容‧‧‧
法國魅力音樂才子 羅宏庫松 才華洋溢深情演出
法國創作才子羅宏庫松(Laurent Couson)眉宇間透露著深情與堅毅,才華洋溢的他,具有作曲家、鋼琴家、指揮家、作家、演員等多重身分。年紀輕輕就獲得巴黎國立高等音樂舞蹈學院圖爾音樂系的首獎加冕,接著進入巴黎高等音樂學院以及巴黎師範大學學習,同樣取得輝煌的成績。

庫松任職於法國電臺(Radio France)期間致力於創作古典作品,曾與Jean Claude Casadesus、 Laurent Petitgirard、Michel Piquemal、Claire Marie Leguay,以及Hervé Joulain等知名古典藝術家合作,這些曲目曾在巴黎市劇院以及卡內基音樂廳等處上演。同時,他也是巴黎管弦樂團的指揮,並且在迪迪埃洛克伍德音樂中心(CMDL)教授音樂史。

他近年涉足電影配樂創作,曾受邀為法國名導克勞德雷路許(Claude Lelouch)與尼爾加蘭費(Nae Carenfil)的電影作曲,參與創作的音樂劇《天使與魔鬼》、《羅密歐與茱麗葉》、《浪子》亦獲得觀眾極大的迴響。庫松於《情海浮生錄》獻出銀幕處女作,飾演一位歷經戰爭風霜的知名律師兼音樂家,劇中有不少自彈自唱的場景,指尖流瀉不凡魅力。

What is the meaning of your Life ? 鼻尖上的覺知 ~1

by Swami Rama 
從小,我們一直問著一個問題:
到底我們的人生有什麼意義?
到底我們這一生的目的是什麼?

隨著年齡教育背景的增長,問題的答案,一直在改變,

或是說,一直以來這個答案總是個很模糊的似是而非的藍圖。

曾經是,有所作為,為造福社會與人類的科學醫學文明的進步,  有所貢獻!

曾經是,相信New Age 的說法,我們這一生,是為了來學習功課,為了提昇靈魂的層次,為了前世立下的誓願,圓滿曾經與某些人的因緣。
曾經是,認為人生本來就毫無意義,人與動物本質上是相似的,人類因為有思想有智慧便能夠創造意義。也許今生,我只想享受奢華,享受世間給予我的一切方便,美好,同時也慶幸的能夠有所能力,幫助那些真正需要幫助的人。


釋迦摩尼傳授的佛法,在這兩個問題上,給予了複雜的答案。

他可以說是涵蓋以上的想法,但是更為深入。並非舫間認為的,佛家在今生的所作所為,只是為了來世!因為宇宙間,只有一個真理,真正了解了這個真理,你人生的意義與目的,也就會自然圓滿了!!

本書 "鼻尖上的覺知, 在呼吸之間" 是一位印度教的瑜伽師的著作,雖不是佛家的書籍,但是其闡述的邏輯與內容與佛法有九成是相似的!不同之處,在於印度教是相信大梵天是唯一的神,與基督的造物主上帝有異,而佛家相信的是真理,而不是造物的神,並沒有"一"的概念,空性也就是真理,"空" 並不是無,更不是一的反面。


不論是證入真理,與神融合為一體,如果只是理論上的論述,智慧上的分析理解,絕對是無法真正達到真正的證悟,也無法與神合一!真正的覺知,真正的實修才是唯一的途徑。


尋找真正的自己,了解自己,將是今生的目的,人生的意義便是擁有人身,盡力的運用其智慧,知識,資源,經驗,來找到你真正的自己!而這個"自己"就是宇宙運作的真理!這個自己,也就是神,也就是真我,也就是Atmen , 在佛家說的,佛性! ( 當然Angel 需註解佛家裡的佛性,與atmen 還是有些不同,一個是無有無一,一個是有,也是唯一的 )


如何實修呢?在生活中,在內在,在呼吸之間。。。

Super Soft Ice Cream !!!!!!

超級霜淇淋 ......






媒體超無聊一直說一支等值三百卡,需走一個半鐘頭才消耗的完,

但是他們怎麼不說,一個玻羅麵包也值這個能量。。
也不說一個大男生每天需要至少兩千大卡的熱量,女孩也至少需要一千卡!
請問就三百卡而已,一天吃個三隻,還是可以很開心呀!!
重點是,開不開心,是否太過量,
大家都知道,運動是不能減重的,
只有靠意志力,吃的均衡,吃的熱量在你所需之下。
一支可口可愛繽紛的霜淇淋,偶爾,很開心的,
有何不好??!!

媒體,別又在冬天裡想要炒熱新聞,然後再來打壓商品。
無聊至極!

今日是Angel 的發洩情緒日 ~~~

First step to Bodhisattva

Patience is the best antidote to my Anger !!

Treasured by Buddhists of all traditions, The Way of the Bodhisattva (Bodhicharyavatara) is a guide to cultivating the mind of enlightenment and to generating the qualities of love, compassion, generosity, and patience. This text has been studied, practiced, and expounded upon in an unbroken tradition for centuries. Presented in the form of a personal meditation in verse, it outlines the path of the Bodhisattvas—those who renounce the peace of individual enlightenment and vow to work for the liberation of all beings and to attain buddhahood for their sake. <p class="MsoNormal">This version is translated from the Tibetan and includes a foreword by His Holiness the Dalai Lama, a translator’s preface, a thorough introduction, a note on the translation, and three appendices of commentary by the Nyingma master Kunzang Pelden.

Fashion in 2014 ~~~








妳可曾懷疑, 今年的流行是如何決定的? 在現今社會雜誌媒體充斥,流行時常是商業廠商的一種促銷手段。可能是今年突然某種布料或色彩受到重視,  或是被忽視過久,廠商及設計師一同合作製造出來的流行趨勢。

但是在十八世紀的歐洲上流社會,可不是這樣,趨勢讓廠商們帶著走! "上流社會的名流名媛,在讀著詩作和小說的同時,想到什麼新的設計概念,就可以叫裁縫製作,  那一年的流行就這樣決定了。"
日本作家<鹿島茂> 在"明天是舞會" 中有這樣的闡述。。。

十九世紀,出現了一種時尚畫卡,當時成為風潮,許多名媛小姐們都以此為社交禮儀穿衣依據。

今年,在Angel 的國度裡,流行大紅色,小微澎澎裙~~

不論市場上是否又是及膝裙問世。。。

I am you ~~~

God from Heaven  by Angelina Lee 


If you do believe we have lived in the world for 1000 years or more,
you will not be surprised that we have met each other some where in the arena possibly in Rome or Athen...

Yes, of course, in the temple of Tibet ...

We exchanged our faith ...

There is a flair of light in your eyes, which connects us,

in your smile as I see you ~~

You are the reason I come across so many obstacles searching ...

You are the cause for I encountered sufferings of others...
You are the one who resides in the heaven palace...
You are the one who discovered the sky treasure...
You are the true Light ...
You are within my heart...

With all the compassion and love..


I am You... you said..

I believe in you !

The Coldest Day in Taipei has come .....

In Burberry after Buddhism Class up in the mountain ~ 









































While the world is experiencing the coldest winter since the last decade,
including my second home town, Chicago...
I did not feel so at all  in Taipei ....
Global Warming seems making the warm regions warmer and cold regions colder ...

Today is in its 20's C,  and this photo was taken a week ago, 8 C outside,  wearing my warmest outfit at the top mountain in the province area in New Taipei ( Mao Kuong ) , thinking the cold weather would last at least until the 15th of January of Lunar Year Calendar  , or 2/14/2014 in western calendar.

However, I guess I was mistaken....

I will not have any chance to wear this cute Burberry this year in Taipei any more ...

One of the Best Dessert in Taipei ~~~

Season ~~~ 
Grapefruit Jelly 


Like a Child ..... Happy with my Cotton Candy 











" Season Cuisine Patissiartism"   ~~~~ 
In Taipei, my favorite dessert cafe is Salon de the de Joel Roubuchon in Balla Vita , where feels exotic, luxurious, higher end and with excellent service.  Nevertheless, this one has its own creative, fun and delicious dessert and garden atmosphere; it is a more relaxed place, yet has less trained services...:) :)  I hope they will work more on this area ...

 I will try more of their food next time ~~

Make sure to make reservation first , or you will not be able to have a seat !

"The Hunt" 2013 : Lies that will hunt you forever ~~~

謊言的烙印

If a lie  becomes a malicious gossip which may hunt you for the rest of your life, are you going to be so trustful to the human innate nature of dishonesty and devilishness?

When a hunter himself becomes the hunted, his world turns into hell from heaven.

Lucas, portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen, a respectable school teacher, and also a hunter who was loved by everyone including adult friends, kindergarden children, had never done any wrong deed in harming anyone in town (only hurt the  hunted deer ) but was innocently shot by an intentional word bullet ignited by a lovely angel girl !

Who is responsible for this mistake and mess?
Do his friends actually believe he is a pedophilia ?

One responsible person is the little girl .
The most important responsible party is all the adults in town. And they do not know what to believe but choose to believe in evil.

The director gave the audience an omnipotent perspective of this film, so that we know the truth and the fact that Lucas was innocent from the beginning. As the story developed, the audience can feel his anxiety, his pain, his anger, his resentment, his baneful disappointment, and helplessness. As the rhythm of this film went so enormously enchanting  and the audience felt deeply empathetic for Lucas,  it was mostly caused by this omnipotent story telling arrangement. How to tell a story is so potent in making a thrilling and touching film, and the Hunt has done so.  Mikkelsen, needless to stress, was a score 10 actor, who charms audience with his confident smile at the beginning, then his agony and lost in the middle, and at the end, he regained his smile but with reserved and sad grimace.

People are more prone to believing in vicious accusation toward others, no matter how they affiliate with each other. In this film, we see these town people do not want to discover the truth, but they like to exaggerate and magnify the imaginary, never existed evil details created by children ....

This observation is also true in real life. How many times have we believe in the media trumpeting these false gossips about celebrity people, false accusation of political policies, and business projects?
Who is responsible for these lies and messes that had done harm to them?
The media, the spreader , and ourselves!



Mads Mikkelsen born in 1965, is a Danish actor. Originally a gymnast and dancer, he began his career as an actor in 1996. He rose to fame in Denmark as Tonny the drug dealer in the first two films of thePusher film trilogy, and in his longest-running role as a brash yet sensitive policeman in Peter Thorsboe's Danish television series Rejseholdet (Unit One) (2000–2003).Mikkelsen became more widely known internationally for his role as Tristan in Jerry Bruckheimer's production King Arthur (2004), but is best known worldwide for playing the main antagonist Le Chiffre in the twenty-first James Bond film, Casino Royale (2006) He has since become known for his roles as Igor Stravinsky in Jan Kounen's French film Coco Chanel & Igor Stravinsky (2008) and his Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award-winning role as Lucas in the 2012 Danish film The Hunt.

Letter from The happiest person in the world !!


世界上最快樂的人~~

2014明就仁波切信函

母親、親人們、僧眾們、弟子們以及與我有緣的法友們:

我在根本上師們的加持下,身體安適且沒有任何障礙的四處遊方修行。這次突然遇到喇嘛扎西,他一再請求我能讓他跟我一段路程,我答應了他。

喇嘛扎西給了我一些食物與衣物,我也從他那裡聽到了很多令人開心以及傷心的消息,這讓我心中生起了悲欣交集的心緒。

現在,喇嘛扎西他開始精進修持大手印、大圓滿的前行與正行修持,而我則繼續在各個山林間居無定處的漫遊,在這過程中,苦樂的感受有如大海的波浪一般起伏波動,有時缺衣少食,寒冷、乾渴、饑餓全部發生,乞食得不到食物,反被荊棘般的粗言惡語刺惱,有時又會毫不費力地在行乞時獲得衣食,心裡感覺有如在受用著天人的妙欲,然而重要的是,不論是苦是樂,這一切都不出自心本性實相中本來俱有的本智與大悲這兩個本質,對於這點我在心中有了徹底的確信。

因此,我們每一個人本來就有的自心本性,這自明自覺的本質,是無論日夜任何時候都沒有離開過我們的,我們該做的就是無修卻不散亂的去保持著。而大悲心是我們天生就具有的,就算生起再多的妄念、粗惡的煩惱以及痛苦,然而在這一切煩惱的本質之中,充滿著的是大悲心,也因此,任何時候我們的心都會想要得到快樂,想要遠離痛苦。

雖然說本智與大悲是一切眾生都本來具備的,但是之所以無法展現出來,那是因為沒有認識到自己所擁有,所以重要的是,只要去認識到就好,不需要任何刻意的修作。我身心愉悅的在喜樂中度過每一天,在山河之間走走停停。衷心的呼籲大家也能這麼去修行。趁著喇嘛扎西要回到城裡的機會,讓他帶上這封信,以及我前前後後為他所拍攝的一些照片,希望見者歡喜。

最後,祈願我們不久能相見,再次的相聚在喜樂的法宴中。

明就多傑敬書

Dalai Lama in Nagarjuna Cave ~~~


His Holiness the DaLai Lama reciting a Buddhist text at the Chaanda Devi Caves where the Indian philosopher Nagarjuna meditated in Sirpur, Chattisgarh, India on January 14, 2014. (Photo by Tenzin Choejor/OHHDL) ---- Shared Dalai Lama

From TIme: Tibetian spiritual leader Dalai Lama is all set to meditate at the historic Nagarjuna caves near the banks of river Mahanadi at Sirpur on January 14. During his three-day visit to Chhattisgarh from January 13, to attend an international peace conference at Ravishankar Shukla University, the spiritual guru would inaugurate a seminar on Buddhist philosopher Nagarjuna and his writings.

During his previous visit to Sirpur caves this year, he had promised to return and meditate at the Nagarjuna caves, located around 15 kilometres away from Sirpur in Mahasamund district on the banks of Mahanadi. As Dalai Lama considers Nagarjuna his master, he decided to meditate in the cave where his master did during the Satvahana rule.
