Egypt 1 ~~ The miracle of Abu Simbel

Abu Simbel 

The twin temples of Abu Simbel were carved out of the mountainside during the reign of Pharaoh Ramesses The Great in the 13th century BC, as a lasting monument to himself and his queen Nefertari. The complex was relocated in its entirety in the 1960s to avoid their being submerged during the creation of Lake Nasser, the massive artificial water reservoir formed after the building of a dam on the Nile. Abu Simbel remains a top Egypt tour destination.

Only on 2/22 , 10/22  The sunrise will shine in the door of this magnificent temple ! One is Pharaoh's birthday, the other one is his coronation day . However, due to the miscalculation of the modern architects, when they relocated this entire temple, the sunshinning dates had been moved one day earlier ever since. 

Cruising the Nile is a popular way of visiting upper Egypt. The Nile River has been Egypt’s lifeline since ancient times and there is no better way to trace the passage of Egypt’s history than to follow the course of the Nile. Almost all Egyptian cruise ships travel the Luxor-Aswan route which is safe, scenic and terminates at two of Egypt’s most important towns. Taking a Felucca down the Nile is an adventurous option. Feluccas are sail boats that have been used on the Nile since antiquity. A Felucca is not quite as comfortable as a luxury cruise ship but nothing can beat sailing in a quiet rig that was designed thousands of years ago.

Can we save the world ? Alder has a solution !

❤️午后，沈浸在阿德勅的廣大意識中，清淨的如沐春風～🎀 As the philosophy of Alfred Alder's individual psychology rekindled our comtemplation of how we percieve the universe, the worries and agendas of our mundane thoughts have bit by bit melted and exausted in this special space of creativity and art . Taipeiing ! 

Thank to the oppulence and technology in the 21 century! At this very moment, a lot of us are at the stage of self actualization already, while we have fulfilled our phisical needs , belong to a lovely home or community, and  pocess a high self esteem ! 

However, if those needs were not satisfied, we can still climb this hierarchy ladder by living on more ultruistic philosophy, because we human beings are interdepenent living creatures that every action we take will affect our future lives. We need to have separate perception of the others and myself, in order to be very objective on making any desicions! Although as Alder describes all the obsticles and afflictions we have are all originated from Human Relations, try to view yourself  as the witness while you are in the relations, which is the best method to  resolve this prboblem ! 

Alder thinks that at each moment , if we can have the couarge to take responsibilities to make  desicions to  act, we can always transpire beyond the shadows and damages imprinted from the past ! All the angers, sadness, desires, jealousy, arrogance, are all emotions that we express, but they are not who we are. We connect with the universe , not with external superficial expressions, but through the innate essence love we pocess ! 

🏰Let's create meaning to our lives in benefiting others to build a harmonious community !! Let's Cherish every encountering at each moment with our love ones, friends and others ! 😘

Emptiness is not nothingness

"While the Buddha did teach that the nature of the mind—in fact, the nature of all phenomena—is emptiness, he didn't mean that their nature was truly EMPTY, like a vacuum. He said it was emptiNESS, which in the Tibetan language is made up of two words: tongpa-nyi. The word tongpa means "empty," but only in the sense of something beyond our ability to perceive with our senses and our capacity to conceptualize. Maybe a better translation would be "inconceivable" or "unnamable." The word nyi, meanwhile, doesn't have any particular meaning in everyday Tibetan conversation. But when added to another word it conveys a sense of "possibility"—a sense that anything can arise, anything can happen. So when Buddhists talk about emptiness, we don't mean nothingness, but rather an unlimited potential for anything to appear, change, or disappear."

–Yongey Mingyur RInpoche, "The Joy of Living," Chapter Four: Emptiness: The Reality beyond Reality

Forgiveness is like an umbrella ....

💝原諒是一種慈悲！

Forgiveness is a compassion !!

In your life ,
 you will encounter many difficult circumstances,  including those people who seem troublesome . If you do not know how to forgive , you will be living a life in suffering and disturbance .

人的一生中会遇到不顺心的事
会碰到不顺眼的人
如果你不学会原谅
就会活得很痛苦
活得很累。

Forgiveness is a kind demure , a virtue ; Forgiveness is a solution , a catalyst , that makes mutual understanding possible . Forgiveness is like an umbrella protecting you while walking in the rain.

原谅是一种风度
是一种修养
原谅是一种溶剂
一种相互理解的润滑油。
原谅像一把伞
它会保护你
帮助你在雨中前行。

People possess different levels of intellects ,  personal cultivations , and various aspects of perceptions. Different ways of principles and management would definitely be diffident among different people .  To forgive others means to place yourself at a higher level of perspective , (as to be more compassionate .)

人和人的学识不同
见识不同
修养不同
对事物的看法自然就不一样，
处理问题的方式
方法也就不一样
原谅他人等于把自己放在了一定的高度
（也就是更加的慈悲⋯）

It is normal to have contentions, arguments, and contradictions in a human relationship. If someone would misunderstand you , it is easier if you are not worried much but instead responded with a smile. Time  will prove the truth .  To be appreciative and cherish what you are given .

人与人之间有碰撞
有摩擦、有矛盾
是很正常的
对别人的误解
不妨试着置之一笑
给时间一个印证的机会
珍惜

Willingness of Self-sacrifice is a necessary attitude to forgive others . You need to have an open heart and open mind and moreover , to sacrifice does not mean you are weak and fragile .  

原谅别人需要有自我牺牲的精神
要有一个宽阔的胸怀
吃亏并不代表软弱可欺　　

To Forgive !
Life appears as the sky above you, for it will not always be clear and transparent . When the sun shines upon you , it makes you joyful . When the clouds rampant , it makes you blue .
Life will not award you with fortune and joy always , but it will provide you with various experiences , including sourness , sweetness, bitterness, spice and saltiness .
原谅生活
因为它像天空一样
不会永远纯净透明
晴空万里时
它会让你欢笑
乌云密布时
它也会使你忧郁
它不会让你一直幸运幸福
它会让你尝遍酸甜苦辣咸。

If you cannot forgive , you will certainly feel much pain within . If you do not forgive , you will  feel as living in torment , or  hell , filled with fury vengeance and suffering !  

假如你不能原谅
一定会痛苦不堪
后果是你会生活在“水深火热”之中，郁郁不乐。

You are within me ...

"Everything is so deeply connected with everything else that nothing can exist apart. If you can understand a small roseflower in its totality, root and all, you will have understood the whole cosmos, because the whole cosmos is involved in that small roseflower. In the smallest leaf of grass all is contained. But remember, as Fa Tsang said to the empress: All illustrations, all descriptions are static, and existence is a dynamic flux." Osho

I love you according to my bond …

An Abundance of Masterpiece 

Before surrendering his power to his daughters. King Lear wants to know which of three will express her love for him most emphatically and thus receive the latest share of his legacy.   The falsification of language and its acceptance lead to a bloodbath, in which everyone is ruined. One of the four great tragedies written by William Shakespeare more than 400 years ago, is King Lear still a play for the twentieth century?

Olivier Py, who amazed Taiwanese audiences with his work of genius, Miss Knife Sings, Olivier Py  reconstructs Shakespeare's world of cruelty with a translation in free verse, sharp and in the present tense.

Olivier Py 

In this world all are busy digging their own graves, heroes, and villains, old men and young heirs, and rushing headlong towards oblivion.  Since its grand premiere in the Cour d'honneur of the Popes Palace, the production co-produced by the National Theater and Concert Hall has attracted great attention and discussions.  This is a performance that will definitely excite you, impress you and make you remember !! ---- Taiwan International Festival of Art

Codelia : Unhappy that I am, I 

cannot heaveMy heart into my 


mouth: I love your majesty

According to my bond; no more nor less.

Time shall unfold what plighted cunning hides 

Lear : When we are born, we cry that we are come
To this great stage of fools

Final : The weight of this sad time we must obey;
Speak what we feel, not what we ought to say.

How to sleep well ....

Before going to sleep , forgive each encounters of the day . Close your eyes, purify your mind , and let the past passing.  No matter what happened today , how miserable or horrifying , you should not be sadden . Since the life is so short that there is no need of regretting and aggrevating , you should live your life with gratitude and contentment . Be present and appreciative at every moment in life .  ~~ by Tashi Dilgo Rinpoche 

🌛❤️每晚睡前，原谅所有的人和事。闭上眼睛，清理你的心，过去的就让它过去吧。无论今天发生多么糟糕的事，都不应该感到悲伤。一辈子不长，用心甘情愿的态度，过随遇而安的生活。🙏🌛

My favorite Coffee place in Taipei ~~

LV Scarf is not mine .... :) 

Sometime, the reflection says everything . 

As the entire phenomenon surrounding me is created by my stream of consciousness, thus, my mind, it seems chaotic, sporadic, mysterious, with a touch of fragrance of chocolate and coffee , simmering under the dimming yet illuminating light, I wish they are candles, scented gigantic candles with several cores kindled at once, with flickering flames if I exhale airs , if the wind dances by, alike the night lightning flies accompanied my peace , not loneliness, tranquility it is as I sip the latte from a warmed mug, falling into semi romantic indulgence  ...

Cafe place at Da-An Road ~~ 

By taking a photo shoot to Reminiscent and show appreciation of this LV scarf , when I suddenly felt so cold, this warm scarf was offered to me ...

How heart warming !!

A mystic realization in Tibet ~~

西藏，一個神祕的嚴峻的天界。。。。

Tibet, where purity , mystic and hardship meet ....

當下，在尋找，

若干年後，在尋找

臨終，在尋找，

輪迴與涅槃，皆是念頭。。。

若一直在尋找，

只是，又一個輪迴。。。

沒人能出離輪迴，

也沒人證得涅槃 。。。

WH:
追憶似水年華⋯⋯驟冷的雨天下午，享受浪漫的法蘭西breathe. 時間停格的19世紀午后，會不會太bourgeois ？


Dear ~~ 似有非無的追憶。。。這樣陰雨綿綿的午後，空氣瀰漫著淡淡的橙香，仿佛走進一間私人salon , 似乎可以見到一絲絲七彩如虹的霧氣，像群少年少女摸索著愛情的虛幻，沒有嗅著半點商業息氣，雖然是依附了Combray 的child of air , 在時間裡過去現在未來同時並存著，已不再僅是附庸風雅，內心的圖像早已超越了那杯茶，超越了那口中的sustenance of life ..., 像在19世紀停格卻存在於另一個流動的空間，記憶裡⋯⋯⋯, 好像暮想著跳出bourgeois , 在他們的雲端舞蹈，⋯⋯⋯⋯ ， 這一切，也都和慾求相關，最終，也是如同第一口Madeleine 茶水，一切清浄如水⋯⋯⋯

Welcome The Wealth God ~~

Love is Red and Transparent ~~~

在愛情裏你愛上的是你自己⋯

只是一個記憶中的感覺⋯

幻想幻覺⋯

當你一次次的愛上一個

又一個的

愛人時⋯
你只编織著一次次愛上自己的

片段⋯

當愛情一次次的幻滅時，

一層層面具褪去，

真實的自己也

慢慢的慢慢的毀壞⋯

愛情像滋養你的毒藥～

越需要愛情的人，

越迷戀自己⋯⋯⋯

自己的興奮，悲傷，焦慮，慾望，

沈溺於存在的感受。。

你愛上了她，又愛上了我，

再愛了他，又愛牠⋯

只不過是
你愛上了當時情緖賀爾蒙被挑動的你，

你自己⋯

如萝如幻如煙如霧如我

如你如她如他如牠⋯⋯⋯

你説，

有誰是真實的？永恆的？

This is Home ...

Passion of Angel's Tears ....

❤️
2/5 I think something is wrong with my tear gland for the past 2 days .

I have been overly sensitive in every incident occurred to others , in considering I am always so " cool " and somewhat cold and calm in others description.

First of all , in an article,  one was describing his story in world war 2, then , one video demonstrated the sovereign of the Republic of  China ; there was another story about Tibet ，India ...

I burst into tears ...

Unusually sensitive . Yes, as compassionate as I felt , I suddenly remember the sadness when I saw the film " passion of the Christ "  . I cried over the ignorance of these people who crucified Jesus ..

I felt the perception of the world was different  , in a vast spectrum ....

The wind blowed in my eyes ,
Unveiled the adornment ...
Sadness as I see ...
Resistance is futile ,
my fellow lovers .
Enjoy the turmoil and hardship if it strikes you ...
Cry and shout if you wish ....
Ignorance is thy names ...
Stand still and be cool
Or be sad and mournful as they ?
Pray ,
Pray to Buddhas , to Guru , to all protectors ...
As this is the only gift I can offer .
My tears run like river water ,
As the world turns in accordance to your wish ..
Let's pray ....
Yes, lovers , all of you are !

Distance me if they have desire
Confront me if they  have anger
Disrespect me if they are ignorant !

Yes, something is not right in my eyes , the world move so silently ; something is wrong with my ears , the inner and far reaching sound of exclaims permeate .....

This is why , in my bad habit , I would stop to feel again !!
Grand me not !

In Search of Angel's Dream ~~~

I really do not know what triggered my emotion .
I actually cried in my dreams .... and also when I woke up ...
Fear of someone's intrusion , and moreover, the worse is the fact of utilizing  the name of love . This is something I need to work on, to resolve this issue seriously !!
Do I hate this person this much?

Is it true that I have transposed my emotions on J who had an opposite hobbies and preferences over  many things ? Suddenly, I discovered no one truly love you or love the true you. Everyone only likes parts of you, which may not be a problem, if purity view is exercised..Nonsense though...

Jealousy ? perhaps. You feel J treats others better than you, ( This may be so deviated and wrong but , I do feel this way anyhow ,,,) because he likes them better no matter how close you think his heart in embedded in you. Do not deceive yourself by thinking it is a training but be courageous and stand up , as long as you aim to a direction, the passion will arise ,

Passion do not come to you , merely because you aspire seeking for it. you need to live in action and the passion will arise instantly ,  These are theories? But how do you apply them here . When I encounter the world with  nonchalant attitude, my response from the world is cool ; the opposite side not surprisingly, the resolve appears to be similar, but not advancing or improving.... . Yes, still cool ... well...you say it is the problem of my expectations.... I should not expect to have returns. But I do aware the fact of non passionate response ....

Is it true that man and woman can only have physical relationship?
Due to physical attraction ! If it is true, is it lacking of alluring , flirting, and sexaual temptaion let the outcome not matching my expectations.

J has a poised , asserted , assured, confident, and telepathic look when he stare at me, which can last for 3 minutes long without words. What is the trigger of making me overturned emotion sinking into abyss ? It was the pet ...  Well. I dislike dogs...for they are just not beautiful at all , ugly and filthy I would say. Rejoice ! If this is the gift he loves. But sad, why? why can I love dog over Cat? There is a gift shadow as well. Do you give gift in accordance to his needs and preference only? only do you give gift because you think you like this thing which may be useful for him as well? Anyway....Motivation is important. Do not need to care they like it or not.... as long as I mean well.

This person I was so afraid of, in fact , was trying to rape me in my dreams. This dream demonstrated how much the damages have encoded in my heart through years of fear of having knowing this person W. Well... Still need to resolve this problem of fear !
This is such a spiritual and physical torture...

 When the void feeling felt so strongly in me instantly when I felt something is not normal ...... I smell the turmoil in K .... Something clicked, and I cried....Because, this is the fact that nobody will like you or love you as much as you like them or love them. All the relationships are not equal, not balance , not mutual , not neutral  ! You  have the accept this non equality of life in the universe.

Please do not preach me on equal rights, treating all sent seint beings equally, or else.... because not even Buddha treat everyone equally ... they have preferences....and so do we! What is the guideline or principle they follow I don't know. I know what we follow is over our emotions of liking, such as desire of owning over a beautiful form, material, or physical , or human beings, desire of fame, desire of super power, privilege,  winning praises, popularity, and so on..... I don't know what are the principles of Buddhisattva's preference?  Because someone is on the edge of dieing or in danger? or someone has more influential power and financial support?
Or someone is more attractive ? or else? Or I should not perceive their deeds by a mundane view , which involve with dualism of conceptions , judgement, critiques, and  standards, and all kinds of modern terms of concepts. So commercial , and so business now..... well...I may be wrong ...

Yes, I am certain I am wrong.

I have diverged my thoughts already. The emotions burst out is due to my lacking of reference, and emotional harboring anchor ....

Please save me my Guru, please clear my thoughts, please clarify my dual judgement, please clarify my hatred ....Yes, this person W has taught me the darkest side of human beings which I have never encountered...! I have lived in heaven all life and never seen violence, hatred, deprivation, betrayal,  conspiracy , and darkness in life, Thank to him. Now it is time to have awareness and also go beyond what I have experienced ! Let's Rise and be courageous !

If passion is something illusory, I am not going to seek for passion! If love is something to contribute instead of receiving, I am not going to explore.... ! So what else? my darling? That is the reason I cried now I know...

To be a non human being ....
