Happy Full Moon Festival !!

❤️

寶髻鬆鬆挽就， 　鉛華淡淡妝成。

青煙翠霧罩輕盈，飛絮遊絲無定。

相見爭如不見， 有情何似無情。

笙歌散後酒初醒，深院月斜人靜。

瞥見這瓶酒，想起這麼首詩～～～

窗外下著大雨，偶有閃電，那麼點兒的秋意 。。。💞

It says , it is better we do not meet, not intertwine ;

sometimes it seems detached but love inside;

When the sober soul awakes,

My garden shines upon the moon

becomes a silent night .

Rain is pouring on my window,

Like symphony accompanied by thunder,

This bottle image reminds me of a poem ,

Composed centuries ago,

At a beginning of Autumn night~~

Is Revolution coming soon like before ?

On Bastille Day, the world parties in the name of France. But do you know what makes Bastille Day so important not just for France but the history of all democracies? The occasion is typically honored with military parades and copious consumption of libations. This mix of weapons and wooziness arguably sums up the legacy of July 14, 1789.

A bastille is French for “fortress,” “castle,” or “bastion.” The Bastille Saint-Antoine is a fortress-prison in Paris that was stormed on this day 221 years ago. It was a symbol of the power of the French monarchy. Essentially, France was on the brink of revolution. A quasi-legislature called theEstates-General met to try to deal with the crisis. They failed, primarily due to the resistance of the nobility who held the most sway. The Third Estate, which represented the middle class, or bourgeoisie, rebelled and formed the National Assembly, which also started its own militia, the National Guard.

You’re familiar with how this sort of event unfolds. Keep in mind that this was the first popular revolt of its kind. Within days, the monarchy was driven out, and the nation was in the throes of the French Revolution. Paris was rioting, and a crowd gathered around the Bastille, demanding the surrender of the guards and a release of all prisoners. A bloody standoff ended with the capitulation of the royal forces. The Revolution wasn’t exactly smooth sailing (as MonsieurGuillotin would soon learn), but the storming of the Bastille is a dramatic symbol for the overthrow of tyranny in the name of the people.

Two notes on Bastille Day: the French tricolor emblem (blue, white and red), stems from the colors of the National Guard. And in France, custom has it that the president issues pardons to mostly minor criminals on Bastille Day.

Love and Friendship ~

Miss you ~~~

Do you achieve something today ?

In samsara life is a journey without any destiny. Today here tomorrow there. One day good other day is bad. Similarly some time happy and other times not. It is like weather, unpredictable. So think well what you want to accomplish in your life. Don't wonder aimlessly achieving nothing at the end of the day. Look back in the past, it is like a dream, just a memory of happiness or suffering. Other than that what you achieved? A peace of mind, yes or no. ~~ Khenchen Khenpo

How to be alive, attractive, and flowering ?

Tarot of the day : Flowering !!

Flower Goddess  by Angelina Lee 

The Queen of Rainbows is like a fantastic plant that has reacted the apex of its flowering and its colors. She is very sexual, very alive, and full of possibilities. She snaps her fingers to the music of love, and her zodiac necklace is placed in a way that Venus lies over her heart. The sleeves of her garment contain an abundance of seeds, and as the wind blows the seeds will be scattered to take root where they may. She is not concerned whether they may. She is not concerned whether they land on the soil or on the rocks-- she is just spreading them everywhere in sheer celebration of life and love.  Flowers fall on her from above, in harmony with her own flowering, and the waters of emotion swirl playfully beneath the flower on which she sits.

You might feel like a garden of flowers right now, showered with blessings form everywhere. Welcome the bees, invite the birds to drink your nectar. Spread your joy around for all to share.

Christianity wants you, but at the maximum , overflowing.

Your life should reach to others.
Your blissfulness, your benediction, your ecstasy should not be contained within you like a seed. It should open like a flower and spread its fragrance to all and sundry-- not only to the friends but to the strangers too.

This is real compassion, this is real love: sharing your enlightenment. sharing your dance of the beyond.

What is Love and Fire ?

Fire Puja at the US Retreat Center 

Let the Fire Burn away all the afflicted emotions  !!

I offer my trust to you ~~~ , until there is no words to describe .....

You asked me, can I trust you , believe you no matter what ...

I burst into tears....

How non human I have to become in order to achieve this ....

I offer my body, my speech, my heart to you....

Let them melt away in the space ....

You said I will find the true nature, the true love ,

If have total faith and belief ....

What is Love? What is Friendship? What is faith?

Humans.... in the six realms, would always disappoint me you said...

Let it burn, Let the fire ignite my Bindu , my Prana and my Nadi....

I am all transparent, I have no substance, I am light ...

Only light .... There is only one thing exists, Consciousness and Love ...

Can you feel it? Calling you from within....

We are all awaken....

Let the fire burn

Let the fire Sing...

I am traveling up to the tip of the tongue ...

Love me as I trust you so ....

中國人七夕情人節，
總是歌頌著歴經千山萬水，此情不渝的長情，纏綿而淒美。。。

愛情還真的是沒有在一起的情侶才最會千古流傳！！在人間如此，古代如此，現代依然！我們愛著一個幻象，一個編織的好燦爛好熱烈好溫柔的故事，一切的一切在清淨的佛眼中是完美的，在淸淨情人的眼裡是無暇的，
好似一切情愛只有天上有⋯⋯

牛郞織女相會於一個建築構造的幻覺裡，不，是心力吸引力而形成的橋樑，我們人間，如果擁有這樣的力量，相思的力量，関愛的力量，也許愛情的長長久久並非只有天上有～～

不過，真的，
無法在一起的悲劇，留下無限的空間與時間，才有年年相會的期待⋯⋯!
祝福情人們，永遠有牛郎織女的心意與承諾，永遠甜蜜～～～

年年七夕渡瑶軒, 谁道秋期有淚痕?

自是人間一周歲, 何妨天上只黄昏。

The most precious masterpiece of China ~~

Qing Warriors manifested the history of how China became China ~~~~~~~

夏日午后，走過春秋戰國，
才知道人類四五千年來，
心理追求的目標並🈚️異，
無不是獲得長遠的生存～

中國的興衰，都在握有權力人的抉擇當中。如果當初沒有秦始皇，中國的分裂狀態也許和歐洲相仿，東亞稱雄甚至與世界強權抗衡，更是難上加難⋯⋯

中華民族的血液裡充滿了天下熔爐的大器 !!!

一個歷経數百年而壯大的帝國，
一個影響後世千百年深遠的王朝，
政治，文字，制度，度量衡⋯⋯,
一個宏偉的大一統天下的精神，
在一一精緻的文物裡，
在一尊尊壯碩的軍𠋀身上，
在價值連城精緻的皇帝馬車上，
展現了中國千年發展的歷史轉折點，
淵遠，睿智，滂礡，極権，但極偉大!

真正秦𠋀是彩色的，
只是時間帶走了他的色澤，
但時間從未奪去他的光彩！！！

感謝策展人 蔡瑞慶博士

Meditation of the Day ~~

Meditation of the day ~ ❤️

Focus on the awareness .
Be aware of your emotions .
Is it disturbed ? 
What is the cause ?
Physical pain ? Or Emotional afflictions ?
What kind of emotion ?
Is it sadness ? Desire ? Anger ? Excitement ? Jealousy ? Regret ? Guilt? Pride ? Doubt ? Fear ? No feeling is an emotion .
Identify your emotion .
Don't deny . Don't suppress . Don't judge . Don't enhance .
Merely Be aware , identify , focus .
Accept the existence of this emotion .
Do not acknowledge ， only be the third person and watch !
You are not the emotion itself .
You are separated from each other .
Don't try to control the emotion !!
Don't analyze .
Don't conceptualize .
Don't think .
Be at the presence ⋯
Trust !!!!
Trust the existence of your emotion is the manifestation of the nature of mind .
Trust your inner nature , the primordial wisdom , the pure power of compassion !
Trust your Guru !!
Trust and focus on awareness !!
You are gone but trust the empty nature . Sometimes as broad as the sky , and space ; sometimes be as small as a muster seed ！
Be faithful and devoted , for the benefit of self and others !

For this , I pray . ❤️🙏🏻❤️

Chernobyl and Nuclear Power Plant or not ?!

和沙壇城相仿，美麗的「車諾比」的命運，也是如此！

一切的美麗都可能隨時消失。。。

從來沒有讀一本書情緖起伏如此大的⋯, 先是好奇，関愛，憐憫，驚訝，駭怕，傷心，不解，到我必須閤上書本，完全觀空⋯⋯⋯，

事實上，
在車諾比，「戰爭」「內鬥」比幅射還可怕；
在車諾比，「無知的堅持」，不是核電科技的問題，是倒置災難最大的禍首；
在車諾比，「無常」是每一秒鐘的見證，即使愛情的貞熾，都逃不過死神的召喚；
在車諾比，環境有如「地獄」的危險與苦難，你偶爾會看到一絲溫暖，也會看到人類的最粗暴貪婪與權力統治的一面；
在車諾比，有的人在那裡找到自由，找到與自然對話的寧靜；有的人自吸收了大量幅射後，寜願一槍被斃命，卻只有忍受未能預料如何死亡的恐𢣷...

當年繁華的都市，如今的車諾比，卻是動物植物的天堂，為什麼呢？我想牠們適應幅射的能力，遠遠超過適應人類文明的能力⋯!

📚😳🌷

這是個詭異的童話寓言故事⋯⋯
像安徒生童話，野狼吃掉婆婆，後來還可以活著走出來⋯⋯⋯! 到底「核能發電」，是個偉大有效率又環保的發明，它的意外幾乎是千萬分之一，只是不幸的，天災如日本福島，人為如車諾比，將帶來極大的傷害。

如今全地球，427 座核電廠，台灣只有百分之十六點五，法國有百分之七十八，美國有百分之二十，全世界有百分之十，是運用核能發電。中國大陸，印度，南韓及俄國，都正在積極建造核能發電場，同時，義大利，瑞士，瑞典，以朝向非核能發電發展，德國則希望在2030 年時能夠放棄核能。

我們人類何時才能發現如此一樣最有效能的又完全沒有意外可能的保護方式？或是同等級代替能源呢？太陽能還在昂貴的研究階段，。。。。。

世界上雖已有需多能源發電的發法，例如煤炭，石油，天然氣，水利，太陽能，風力發電法。但是相較之下，核能最是環保，效能最大，卻有著發生意外的風險，如今人類幾乎完全沒有處理核災的能力，所以，這是反核人世的擔憂！但是在公視的  " 動物天堂"  的報導，卻發現，動植物在撤諾比發生后的三十年的今天，卻是蓬勃發展著，因為生物是有能力適應環境的，基因是會隨外來環境而產生突變而來適應。一直以來，人類才是地球的最大破壞者，但是，人又是必須生存必須高度科技發展以求快速便捷文明進步，這種取捨只是選擇問題。科學家也發現，人們在生活當中，接觸微量的輻射是像打預防針一樣，是好的。

這些研究對人類的發展都是極正面，

而不是一味反對核能～
值得深思～～～🌞🌞😎😎🌹🌹

Love in the Air ~~

❤️每隔一段時間，我會念起這種淡淡的濃濃的情 ～～～
像是擦在耳邊的香水，
擁抱時才會滲透入心，
凝視時攝受著你的氣息，
人走了，那餘韻環繞在空間中，
久久不散⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯❤️

那一夜，我聽了一宿梵唱，
不為參悟，只為尋你的一絲氣息。

那一月，我轉過所有經輪，
不為超度，只為觸摸你的指紋。

那一年，我磕長頭擁抱塵埃，
不為朝佛，只為貼著了你的溫暖。

那一世，我翻遍十萬大山，
不為修來世，只為路中能與你相見。

那一瞬，我飛升成仙，
不為長生，只為佑你平安喜樂。

❤️我養了十年的愛情鳥靈靈，今天走了，

可能是太熱了，可能是年齡到了⋯⋯。󾍀

世間一切，有如「沙壇城」！！

即便是生命，親情，愛情，友情....

❤️When my bird Lingling just died today , I think of Sand Mandala ....She was about 10 years old , a beautiful love bird , perhaps because of the hot weather or the age ....

Everything in the world , alike the " SAND MANDALA " including all the excellence , success , beauty, will definitely dissolve at every moment without noticing it .

Life , Kinship, Romance , and Friendship would not be exempt , in particular .....

Favorite Tea House 1 , Alluring ~~~ 😉😉

Look at your problems as problems & they'll continue to hold you down. 

See them as blessings in disguise & that's what they truly become.

What is Truth ? Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche ~~

Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche  

顶果法王 ❤️Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche 

一生中所面临的俗事，就像永无止境的海浪，一波接著一波而来，但我们到最后还是两手空空，什么也留不住，我们的脑中走过无数的念头，一个念头生出许许多多的念头，但所有的念头都只会增加内心的骚动与不平。假如仔细反省日常行为所依据的基本价值观念，并试著找出它们从何而来，我们就会发现，这一切都源自我们未能对事物做正确的检验。

我们的所作所为，通常是根据「每一件事都是真实、具有实体」的假设而来。但是，当我们看仔细一点就会发现，现象世界就像一道彩虹，色彩鲜艳多姿，却没有任何实体存在。当天空上挂著一道彩虹，映入眼廉的是许多美丽的色彩，但彩虹不能当衣服来穿，不能当饰物来戴。没有什么是我们可以拥有的；所有的事物只不过是透过各种因缘的结合，呈现在我们面前。心中升起的念头也是如此。念头根本没有所谓实体的真实，或本质的存在。所以，念头根本没有理由拥有强过我们的力量，我们也没有理由沦为念头的奴隶。轮回与涅槃皆由心造。即使如此，心也没有什么了不起的，它只不过是一堆念头罢了。

一旦我们认清念头是虚空的，心也就失去了蒙骗我们的力量。但是，只要我们把虚假的念头当做是真的，念头就会向过去生生世世一般，继续折磨我们，该我们深受痛苦。为了达到控制「心」的目的，我们必须觉知该做什么，以及该避免什么；我们也必须保持警觉，时时检视身、口、意三方面的行为。为了破除心的执著，了解所有的现象皆如海市蜃楼中的绿洲一般空无虚有，美丽的外相无益於心，丑陋的外相也无害於心。斩断希望与恐惧、喜爱与憎恶的连结，安住於平等舍之中，了解所有的现象只不过是自心的投影。一旦你知道什么是绝对的真理，你将认清眼前所有的相对现象只不过是一个幻影，一场梦，并且不再执著於它，认清实相即是空，就等於破除了思想的限制。
