先贤教导我们,每一天要活得好像没有明天。而我们却活得就算明天是末日也无所谓。

在微博看到一句:心事这东西,你捂着嘴,它就会从里眼睛里跑出来。
一句感性的话就可以牵动人心,一万亿金钱也买不到。痛苦非我求,快乐也非我贪,唯有平静才有心安。
轰动的印度派,虽然不能和老虎成为朋友,却深信上帝会帮他驯服老虎。我们不是成天忙着驯服心灵的猛虎吗?以为终有一天老虎会被驯服和打败。
上帝还是没放过印度派,直到完全把自己交出去,才有了那场和老虎同眠得救的戏。这一刻才有了平静。不是善征服恶,或恶征服善。去了解自己,才是真谛。
我最后比较喜欢有老虎的那个故事,虽然未必是真,可是谁在乎?每个人都想逃避黑暗的一面。连像印度派去征服的勇气也没有,哪来的最后平静呢?
想到这里,觉得自己喜欢美丽虚幻的,心寒。

12•12•12

别了那场哈雷彗星的热潮,今生无缘再聚。
跨过了21世纪的交接,世界还没末日,人心却已沦亡。
无论101010、111111、还是121212,都只是一些数字游戏。再多的文字来歌颂,也未必比昨日精彩。
不如找老婆吃饭,像平日窃窃私语。放工回家和家人热闹一番。然后打电话给家乡的父母,寒暄问候一下。
平静朴实的心灵,才是永恒的道路。

为抒怀而做

秋雨绵绵,点点滴滴,至冬竟未歇。 仰看愁云蒙蒙,纵然闹市营营, 千里山河,只剩孤鸦戏丹心,无人解! 去日苦长,道路恨短?
或曰:秋雨无喜,愁云无悲。丹心无我,道本无路。本无一人,何需一解?

虚幻的真

我们不断为认识的人创造形象,我们全心全意去爱这些"人",认为这是真爱。建筑在虚幻形象上的爱,哪里会是"真"?爱如是,恨亦如是,忌羡亦如是。

思念

思念一种感觉的感觉,
呼吸不由变得深沉,
怕吸轻了 就拉不回迸出去的心脏。
从来没有这么专心,彻夜不眠,
只为了寻找出口的方法。

農八月隨想

所以 往事如定格相片
張張掠過 夢幻隨著泡影
回不過去 也無法重演
恰如 琴絃依舊 玉指如昔
那一夜的曲 也無法重演
莫哀 這一刻的曲 就是這一刻的
獨一無二 只是為你
曲終 再奏一曲 又何妨?


貓咪貪愛 夜夜歌春郎
撕破臉皮 夜寂春入冬
那貓還是那貓?
那郎還是那郎?
那歌還是那歌?
那夜還是那夜?

愛畢竟還是愛了
心起作用還是起作用了
一切並非我有 一切也有我
一切並非你有 一切也有你
我中有你 你中有我
實實在在發生 也實實在在消失
這是實在還是虛幻?
若說一切是假 那是斷見
如說一切為真 那是常見
不斷不常 方為正見

萬物不起於一念
萬物起於千物的一念
念一轉 物生物滅
曲無恆曲 流轉生滅 互既互入 做如是觀

迷失和信

當我相信,一句沒有證據的話,我就相信。
當我不信,萬句有證據的話,我就不信。
對深信的能思辨解疑嗎?我就不會在刀尖上而為另一個刀尖上的人擔心。
對不信的也能思辨解疑嗎?我就不會拿著一把刀而要另一個人把刀放下。
這,就是迷失。

我的心素歷程


我吃素的因緣從何而起?或原因為何?各種念頭不時閃過,卻一直無法理清。一直到最近幾個星期,這模糊的意念才漸漸展現。

好些年前,好幾次下了決心吃素都以失敗告終。原因諸如減肥、健康、不殺生等等外緣。一直到我重遇了建興和成祖,這個吃素的念頭又成形了。去年的九王爺誕,我又開始吃素,一直到如今。

我必須承認佛法的教誨,對眾生的慈悲,是一個關鍵性的緣由。只有這種內心自化的慈悲,才讓我堅持下來。或許也不該說是"堅持",而是"如此而已"。(我雖然樂于親近佛法經典,卻始終不敢自詡為佛教徒,也還不配,也未必需要。)

身邊的人很自然的就會"懷疑"、"阻擾"、"引誘"。吃齋的人就會覺得我"肉邊菜"不上道。吃肉的人就會教我如何才是"吃齋"。我變成了邊緣人"不肉不齋"。這樣的身份困擾了我好一陣子。(一般上的分法,齋是宗教關係,素是其他因素。)

接著身邊人就會問我"為什麼",那時我不知如何回答,我只是一個邊緣人。我有時只是笑笑,有時只是隨便敷衍。然後就會有人分析吃肉好處的人,也會有人分析吃素好處的人,也有人從營業學和環保的好處分析。一切一切在我眼裡,我漸漸看到了這個世界無窮盡的分別心。而一個邊緣人要如何被分別?不上不下的,算什麼?不能被分別和不能被歸類,真的那麼重要嗎?而不斷分別就是不斷分裂人與人的連接關係,進而眾生看不見原是一體。

為什麼有人會好奇別人為什麼吃素?是不是他們想吃素,可是自己只是缺少一個原因和多了一些擔憂阻礙?我的原因可以歸類慈悲(如果一定要有緣由)。慈悲絕對是宗教情懷的,卻不單只是宗教所有的。

我現在明白了,"我不是因為宗教因素,不是因為健康或營養因素,甚至我也不願說是因為慈悲,造成吃肉的朋友妄想誤會(慈悲和心有關,和食物沒有關係)。我也不願變成吃齋,為了能更親近朋友,給人方便,多結善緣,多做示范。"
我只是認為吃素應該就是自自然然,不管你是什麼宗教、什麼人。我一說宗教,就關了不認同之人的門;我一說健康,就關了不認同之人的門;我一說慈悲,就關了不認同之人的門;我一說環保,就關了不認同之人的門;我一不和吃葷的人上同一間餐館,就也關了他們的門。這就是分別心的作用。

唯有自自然然吃素,什麼理由都沒有,什麼身份都不是,什麼宗教都不是,什麼分別都沒有,才反而是開了這扇素之門給全部人。吃素本来就是这么简单自然的,哪里来这么多理由啊?

詠夏日不知名的紅花白花樹夾道而生,總是午後狂雨灑落滿道,讓人唏噓。

紅白夾道花,
驟雨狂又逝,
可憐花護土,
徐行感花恩。

寶貝,你的深情讓人動人。無論你年級多小,我都要尊重你。串串淚珠,串起了真性情和純真。我心淌淚為個憔悴可人兒。

什麼是愛的感覺?
要有多久才能讓人失控?
要有多痛才能讓人,在大家面前突然痛哭?

如果這些都發生在一個小孩上,就一定只是家家酒的幼稚遊戲,值得忽視和取笑嗎?
大人其實和小孩沒分別,只是大人少了單純,多了智巧。

你把最好吃的餅乾留給他。
你把最喜歡的圖畫給他看。
你可以不要其他的朋友,也只是想跟他玩。
你不明白其實還有很多選擇,也要孤注一擲。
你很傷心萬般對他好,他受了好處卻還是不跟你玩,卻和別人玩得開心。
你氣得跟他決裂,他卻再這個時候哭了。
你後悔了。他?我不知道。

如果這些都發生在一個大人身上,就一定要怨天尤人,自怨自哀,理所當然獲得他人安慰?
小孩其實和大人沒分別,只是小孩少了執著,多了天真。

给小小的美丽天使

如果给我多一天,我想陪你看看日落。
在那日落的影子里,一定有你最深的想念。
如果给我多一天,我想你背我随意游荡。
在那宽厚的肩膀上,一定有你最坚强的理由。
如果给我多一天,我想和你一起吃午餐。
在那粗粗的手指间,或许会有咸咸的泪迹。
如果给我多一天,或许所有事都会不一样。我却知道如果少一天,才能让最深的爱解脱。

眼前的黑,是黑吗?明天的白,是白吗?
白昼的微笑,是坚强吗?夜里的奚嗦声,是软弱吗?

你是我最爱,我给的是这么少。
我羡慕调皮任性的天真,可我决定乖巧坚强来爱你。
短短的日子也足够回味一辈子了,在我还能清醒美丽时放下,不就是给你我最大限度的爱吗?

我们不需要勉强,因为顺其自然,就是最美的爱!

我怕未知

是的,我怕未知。

我以为我是不怕的,不怕生活上的改变。我以为,这就是不怕未知。。。(其实不怕,是因为设定了假想的已知目标和应对方式)

寂静的夜,我闭上眼,不强求去想什么。第一个念头就是,怕。怕什么?怕独自的夜?怕有鬼?怕黑?。。。

耳朵忽然变得清晰,听见了外头细微的声音。忽然又是怕,忽然又没了。
闭上的眼"看见"了白光。忽然又是怕,忽然又没了。
耳朵听到了心跳,"视野"变开阔了。忽然又是怕,忽然又没了。
忽然皮肤感觉到毛孔,风也有了。忽然又是怕,忽然又没了。
每一个瞬间的下一个瞬间都是未知,都会怕。所以我怕未知。

睁开眼睛,怕不见了。我的"意识"又战胜了,让我回到"意识"熟悉的空间。"意识"不能从"回忆"里找出应对未知的方法,所以一直用怕来把我驱赶回来。"回忆"只有旧的经验和知识,又如何能应对未知呢?
这(未知)不是一个充满"知识"和"回忆"的"意识"所能处理的,反而是阻碍。

如何弃绝"意识"来达到所谓"空性"?
如何弃绝"意识"来体会"众生一体"?
如何弃绝"意识"让自己随着生命之流飘荡?
如何弃绝"意识"让自己感动在爱和美?

我以为我不怕未知。希望下一次,我真的是不怕。

如果不是颜面那一点点的虚假空间,那思念一定闷到发疯;却也正是这虚假空间,让思念变得无价。我不知道是否还留在"现在",就正如每一个刹那都抓不住。。。

六月二十日,短篇。

我站在路上,觉得苦闷。大辣辣的太阳和不停吵闹的蝉音,没让我更好受。或许静下来,我会更好受。谁会明白太阳能驱走阴暗?谁会明白夏蝉只是演奏生命的禅音?

428 duduk bantah - Bersih 3.0 + Stop Lynas - 马来西亚历史一刻

428才恍如昨日,网络和媒体上的焦点都一直在这个静坐集会。政府一如既往,用对bersih 2.0的口吻回应,怪罪净选盟制造混乱。当然净选盟和支持者就一直用各种相片和视频来辩护,我们必需注意的是这些不是我们的目标和集会的理由。理由是我们要干净的选举和反对莱纳斯。

先重申Bersih 3.0的诉求:
1. 清理选民册;
2. 改革邮寄选票制度;
3. 使用不褪色墨汁(点墨制);
4. 自由与公平的媒体报导;
5. 最少21天竞选活动期限;
6. 强化公共机构;
7. 杜绝贪污;
8. 杜绝肮脏政治手段。


还有Stop Lynas的诉求就是Save Malaysia,还我们一个绿色的家园。

我不是英雄、你不是英雄、他也不是英雄,这件事不是只有英雄才可以做的。历史没有留下我们的名字,不过平凡的我们坚持公正、和平和爱的勇敢,却造就了这历史的一刻。我们不需要拥有英雄的年代,我们不能期盼有别人可以帮我们出力,我们凭什么要别人来帮我们争取需要的东西?只要我们付出一分,全部人就可以把一件事完成一百分。我的未来、我来打造。国家的未来、我们来打造。
西谚有一句"We support what we help create"。 政府应该是没体会这句话的力量吧?

2012年4月28日,六点半就起床了。约了大师兄Joe,可不能迟到啊。心理莫名的平静,可能带着一点点肃穆的感觉。也惊叹原来周遭很多Bersih 2.0没去的朋友,这次也有去,甚至有些是从柔佛包旅游车上来。虽然从头到尾都没有在集会看见这些朋友(人太多了),借着Whatsapp的帮助,都知道大家有着同一个目标,也散布在附近的地方。这种身远心近的感觉真奇妙。

当然 我还特别感恩太太给我的支持,帮我看顾家里小孩。
会合大师兄和他朋友后,我们就吃饱饱出发去Kelang Jaya LRT站。感谢Darren老婆身怀六甲还陪同我们一起去LRT站。Dodo也是来这个站,另一群老友就在Amcorp Mall,还有一些从Kepong要坐KTM。大家趁早就是怕进不去被重重封路的KL中心,幸好一路人多却没有发生LRT的关闭(可是后来散会却关闭了)。Dodo因为还要等朋友,我们道别打气后就先离开了。

428,参与和结束之初感想

我们几个朋友都是和平参与和结束的,就算是被tear gas弄到不成人性,也还是慌乱的跑、和平的回家。制造冲突和行为不当是部分人士所为,他们是留下污点的人,应当受惩罚,却不该模糊了整个运动的初衷,而把千万人对国家的爱和公平的坚持完全否定。在瓷厂街回家路上的朋友更是莫名其妙又受tear gas攻击, 他们只能带着气愤和难过不解回家。当政者选择不听不动不是一个理由来让我们放弃voice out的机会,不是吗?create awareness也是一个管道,今天pasar就有很多人谈论了。外国的反应如何?我们连自己的国家都没搞好,不是吗?

《克里希那穆提传》一段震慑我的演说

这绝对是一个值得我们深入了解的人(我无法把他分类成什么人或职业)。我心中有很多想法但是我不会写下来,我认为每个人应该有自己的解读方式。这是他在解散世界明星社发表的演说,而他本身就是当时的社长。


摘录自《克里希那穆提传》,作者:普普尔贾亚卡尔。胡茵梦 翻译。


A person really worth us to read. I have many thoughts after i read his speech but i won't write any of my thought, everyone should have their own way to understand and read it. This speech was given when he dissolved the Order of Star.
Note: The English version will be after Chinese version. 


 “我主张真理是无路可寻的。你不能透过任何宗教或法门而达到它。我绝对坚持这个观点。既然真理是无限的,没有任何束缚而又无路可寻,当然也就不需要人为组织了。没有任何组织有权利强迫人们专走特定的一条路。如果你了解了这点,你就会发现信仰根本无法组织化。信仰纯属个人之事,你不能也不应该使它组织化,如果你这么做,真理就变成了僵死的教条,同时也变成那些懦弱的人和暂时无法得到满足的人的玩物。真理无法屈就于人,人必须通过努力来亲近它。高山无法自动移到你的脚前,你必须不畏艰险地穿过山谷,攀过悬崖峭壁,才能到达山顶。我不愿意属于任何宗教组织,请你们务必谅解这点。再一次地,我坚持主张没有任何宗教组织能引领人们见到真理,如果为了这个目的而成立人为组织,必定造成人们的依赖、软弱和束缚,既阻碍他们的成长,也是他们残缺不全。个人的特色一被抹杀,便无法见到那无限的真理了,这就是为什么我身为社长却又解散它的原因。我这么做完全是自动自发的,没有受到任何人的影响。

”世界导师重现这件事没什么了不得,所以我不需要任何追随者。一旦追随某个人,你就不再追随真理。我不管你们有没有听懂我的话,我既然要在世上完成一件事,就要毫不动摇地贯彻到底。我真正关心的只有一件事,那就是如何使人类得到解脱。我要把他们从所有牢笼和恐惧之中解放出来,因此不再建立任何新的宗教、教会、理论或新的哲学。你们可能会问我,既然如此为什么还要在世界巡回演说,让我告诉你为什么:因为我不想要任何追随者,任何与众不同的门徒。人类是多么喜爱与众不同啊!他们竭尽所能标新立异,我绝不鼓励这种可笑的行为,无论在天上或地上我都没有门徒。“

”有一位新闻记者访问我的时候对我说,他认为能把一个拥有数千名会员的组织解散,是一个了不得的举动,他说,“解散以后你要怎么办,怎么谋生?那时将不再有人听你演讲,或追随你了。”我告诉他,只要这个世界有五个人听进去我的话,而且彻底照着我的话去生活,也就绰绰有余了。“

”如同我曾经说过的,我只有一个目的,那就是使人类都能得到解脱,帮助他们挣脱所有的局限,只有这样他们才能得到永恒的快乐,证悟自性。“

因为我已经脱离束缚,完整地获得自由,因此我希望那些想了解我的人也能获得自由,而不是追随我,把我关在笼子里,变成一个新的教主。他们应该解脱所有的恐惧,包括宗教的恐惧、赎罪的恐惧、得不到爱的恐惧、死亡的恐惧以及存在的恐惧。画家画画是因为他喜欢做这件事,在这件事中他表达了自己的荣耀与幸福,我做这件事也是如此,并不是因为我想从别人身上获取什么。

”你们已经习惯听从权威的话,你们以为依赖某个权威,就能得到心灵的解脱,你们希望靠另外一个人的神力帮你们得到永恒的快乐,因此你们所有的人生观都奠基在这个权威上。“

”你们听我演说已经有三年,除了极少数的人之外,都没有什么改变。你们现在听我说话,不要只是一味接受,必须分析清楚之后,才能完全了解我的意思。你们一旦臣服于某个权威,一定想在这个权威之上建立一个组织,于是就落在牢笼中了。“

”你们所有人都想依赖别人获得快乐,获得最终的解脱。你们已经等了我十八年,我现在终于有机会告诉你们必须把权威放在一边,向你们的内心观照,才能获得证悟、光荣和纯净,你们却没有任何一个人愿意听我的话。也许极少数一两个人听进去了。“

”因此,我们为什么要成立宗教组织?“
”为什么要让那些伪善的人追随我这个权威的假象?这句话没有任何恶意,只因为我们已经到达一个必须面对事实的瓶颈。去年我曾经说过我绝不妥协,当时很少有人听进去我的话。而今年我已经把话说得非常清楚了。世界明星社在这个世界上拥有无数的会员,他们准备听我的教诲已经有十八年了,而他们现在却丝毫不愿意听我的话。

”因此,我们为什么要成立宗教组织?“
”我已经说过,我的目的就是要帮助人类获得彻底的解脱。只有当人们获得理性与爱之间的和谐,才能获得不朽的永恒。绝对真理就是生命本身,我要每一个人都像晴空中的飞鸟一样快乐,无拘无束,独立自主,充满着自由的至乐。你们已经等了我十八年,我现在告诉你们,你们必须从纠结不清的烦恼中解脱,要做到这点并不需要宗教组织。这个世界上可能只有五个到十个人能真正了解我的话,而且能够把不重要的琐事放下,专心在灵性上精进。至于那些懦弱的人,没有任何宗教组织能帮他们找到真理,因为真理不近不远,就在每一个人的心中。
“你们要打字的时候,便使用打字机,你们绝对不会在这个时候把打字机供在神坛上,当是当你们一心想成立宗教组织时,你们却这么做。所有的新闻记者问我的第一问题都是:你有多少追随者?人们都从信徒的多寡来判断这个权威是真是假。我告诉他们我不知道我有多少追随者,我也不在乎这一点,即使只有一个人得到解脱,也就足够了。你们总以为只有少数人握有通往至乐的钥匙,其实那个钥匙就是你自己。在你净化自己的当下那一刻,你已经身处彼岸了。你将会发现,依赖别人带给你快乐、安慰和力量,是多么荒谬的事。”

”因此,我们为什么要成立宗教组织?“
“你们一直习惯让别人来验证你们修得的果位,这真是幼稚极了,你的内心美丑与否,只有你自己知道,除了你之外,怎么可能有别人知道你内心的真相,你们对这类事太不严肃了。

”因此,我们为什么要成立宗教组织?“
”但是那些一心想了解、想探索无始无终永恒的人,就会真的手携手勇猛精进,他们也必定会激励那些生活在幻像中的人。他们将全神贯注燃烧出灿烂的火焰,因为他们已经有了领悟。这样的团体才是我们要创造的,只有在如此深厚的情谊之上,人们才可能互助合作。这种合作之中既没有权威,也没有任何动机,更不是为了赎罪,只因为他们已经领悟。这件事比任何享乐或牺牲都要伟大得多。“

”经过两年的深思,我才做出这个决定,这不是暂时的冲动,也不是在别人的影响之下做的。身为社长的我,现在已经决定解散世界明星社,你们有权利成立另外的组织,成立另外的牢笼,或是为牢笼点缀一些装饰品,那都不是我关心的事了。我唯一关心的只有如何彻底使人们得到解脱。”

I maintain that Truth is a pathless land, and you cannot approach it by any path whatsoever, by any religion, by any sect. That is my point of view, and I adhere to that absolutely and unconditionally. 
Truth, being limitless, unconditioned, unapproachable by any path whatsoever, cannot be organized; nor should any organization be formed to lead or to coerce people along any particular path. If you first understand that, then you will see how impossible it is to organize a belief. A belief is purely an individual matter, and you cannot and must not organize it. If you do, it becomes dead, crystallized; it becomes a creed, a sect, a religion, to be imposed on others. This is what everyone throughout the world is attempting to do. Truth is narrowed down and made a plaything for those who are weak, for those who are only momentarily discontented. Truth cannot be brought down, rather the individual must make the effort to ascend to it. You cannot bring the mountain-top to the valley. If you would attain to the mountain-top you must pass through the valley, climb the steeps, unafraid of the dangerous precipices. 
So that is the first reason, from my point of view, why the Order of the Star should be dissolved. In spite of this, you will probably form other Orders, you will continue to belong to other organizations searching for Truth. I do not want to belong to any organization of a spiritual kind, please understand this. I would make use of an organization which would take me to London, for example; this is quite a different kind of organization, merely mechanical, like the post or the telegraph. I would use a motor car or a steamship to travel, these are only physical mechanisms which have nothing whatever to do with spirituality. Again, I maintain that no organization can lead man to spirituality. 
If an organization be created for this purpose, it becomes a crutch, a weakness, a bondage, and must cripple the individual, and prevent him from growing, from establishing his uniqueness, which lies in the discovery for himself of that absolute, unconditioned Truth. So that is another reason why I have decided, as I happen to be the Head of the Order, to dissolve it. No one has persuaded me to this decision. "This is no magnificent deed, because I do not want followers, and I mean this. The moment you follow someone you cease to follow Truth. 
I am not concerned whether you pay attention to what I say or not. I want to do a certain thing in the world and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies. Then you will naturally ask me why I go the world over, continually speaking. I will tell you for what reason I do this not because I desire a following, not because I desire a special group of special disciples. (How men love to be different from their fellow-men, however ridiculous, absurd and trivial their distinctions may be! I do not want to encourage that absurdity.) I have no disciples, no apostles, either on earth or in the realm of spirituality. 
Nor is it the lure of money, nor the desire to live a comfortable life, which attracts me. If I wanted to lead a comfortable life I would not come to a Camp or live in a damp country! I am speaking frankly because I want this settled once and for all. I do not want these childish discussions year after year. 
One newspaper reporter, who interviewed me, considered it a magnificent act to dissolve an organization in which there were thousands and thousands of members. To him it was a great act because, he said "What will you do afterwards, how will you live You will have no following, people will no longer listen to you." If there are only five people who will listen, who will live, who have their faces turned towards eternity, it will be sufficient. Of what use is it to have thousands who do not understand, who are fully embalmed in prejudice, who do not want the new, but would rather translate the new to suit their own sterile, stagnant selves If I speak strongly, please do not misunderstand me, it is not through lack of compassion. If you go to a surgeon for an operation, is it not kindness on his part to operate even if he cause you pain So, in like manner, if I speak straightly, it is not through lack of real affection–on the contrary. 
As I have said, I have only one purpose to make man free, to urge him towards freedom, to help him to break away from all limitations, for that alone will give him eternal happiness, will give him the unconditioned realization of the self. 
Because I am free, unconditioned, whole–not the part, not the relative, but the whole Truth that is eternal–I desire those, who seek to understand me to be free; not to follow me, not to make out of me a cage which will become a religion, a sect. Rather should they be free from all fears–from the fear of religion, from the fear of salvation, from the fear of spirituality, from the fear of love, from the fear of death, from the fear of life itself. As an artist paints a picture because he takes delight in that painting, because it is his self-expression, his glory, his well-being, so I do this and not because I want anything from anyone. "You are accustomed to authority, or to the atmosphere of authority, which you think will lead you to spirituality. You think and hope that another can, by his extraordinary powers--a miracle– transport you to this realm of eternal freedom which is Happiness. Your whole outlook on life is based on that authority. 
You have listened to me for three years now, without any change taking place except in the few. Now analyze what I am saying, be critical, so that you may understand thoroughly, fundamentally. When you look for an authority to lead you to spirituality, you are bound automatically to build an organization around that authority. By the very creation of that organization, which, you think, will help this authority to lead you to spirituality, you are held in a cage. 
If I talk frankly, please remember that I do so, not out of harshness, not out of cruelty, not out of the enthusiasm of my purpose, but because I want you to understand what I am saying. That is the reason why you are here, and it would be a waste of time if I did not explain clearly, decisively, my point of view. "For eighteen years you have been preparing for this event, for the Coming of the World Teacher. For eighteen years you have organized, you have looked for someone who would give a new delight to your hearts and minds, who would transform your whole life, who would give you a new understanding; for someone who would raise you to a new plane of life, who would give you a new encouragement, who would set you free–and now look what is happening! Consider, reason with yourselves, and discover in what way that belief has made you different–not with the superficial difference of the wearing of a badge, which is trivial, absurd. In what manner has such a belief swept away all the unessential things of life That is the only way to judge in what way are you freer, greater, more dangerous to every Society which is based on the false and the unessential In what way have the members of this organization of the Star become different "As I said, you have been preparing for eighteen years for me. I do not care if you believe that I am the World–Teacher or not. That is of very little importance. Since you belong to the organization of the Order of the Star, you have given your sympathy, your energy, acknowledging that Krishnamurti is the World–Teacher– partially or wholly wholly for those who are really seeking, only partially for those who are satisfied with their own half-truths. 
You have been preparing for eighteen years, and look how many difficulties there are in the way of your understanding, how many complications, how many trivial things. Your prejudices, your fears, your authorities, your churches new and old–all these, I maintain, are a barrier to understanding. I cannot make myself clearer than this. I do not want you to agree with me, I do not want you to follow me, I want you to understand what I am saying. "This understanding is necessary because your belief has not transformed you but only complicated you, and because you are not willing to face things as they are. You want to have your own gods–new gods instead of the old, new religions instead of the old, new forms instead of the old–all equally valueless, all barriers, all limitations, all crutches. Instead of old spiritual distinctions you have new spiritual distinctions, instead of old worships you have new worships. You are all depending for your spirituality on someone else, for your happiness on someone else, for your enlightenment on someone else; and although you have been preparing for me for eighteen years, when I say all these things are unnecessary, when I say that you must put them all away and look within yourselves for the enlightenment, for the glory, for the purification, and for the incorruptibility of the self, not one of you is willing to do it. There may be a few, but very, very few. So why have an organization 
Why have false, hypocritical people following me, the embodiment of Truth Please remember that I am not saying something harsh or unkind, but we have reached a situation when you must face things as they are. I said last year that I would not compromise. Very few listened to me then. This year I have made it absolutely clear. I do not know how many thousands throughout the world–members of the Order–have been preparing for me for eighteen years, and yet now they are not willing to listen unconditionally, wholly, to what I say. 
As I said before, my purpose is to make men unconditionally free, for I maintain that the only spirituality is the incorruptibility of the self which is eternal, is the harmony between reason and love. This is the absolute, unconditioned Truth which is Life itself. I want therefore to set man free, rejoicing as the bird in the clear sky, unburdened, independent, ecstatic in that freedom . And I, for whom you have been preparing for eighteen years, now say that you must be free of all these things, free from your complications, your entanglements. For this you need not have an organization based on spiritual belief. Why have an organization for five or ten people in the world who understand, who are struggling, who have put aside all trivial things And for the weak people, there can be no organization to help them to find the Truth, because Truth is in everyone; it is not far, it is not near; it is eternally there. 
Organizations cannot make you free. No man from outside can make you free; nor can organized worship, nor the immolation of yourselves for a cause, make you free; nor can forming yourselves into an organization, nor throwing yourselves into works, make you free. You use a typewriter to write letters, but you do not put it on an altar and worship it. But that is what you are doing when organizations become your chief concern. 
How many members are there in it" That is the first question I am asked by all newspaper reporters. "How many followers have you By their number we shall judge whether what you say is true or false." I do not know how many there are. I am not concerned with that. As I said, if there were even one man who had been set free, that were enough. 
Again, you have the idea that only certain people hold the key to the Kingdom of Happiness. No one holds it. No one has the authority to hold that key. That key is your own self, and in the development and the purification and in the incorruptibility of that self alone is the Kingdom of Eternity. 
So you will see how absurd is the whole structure that you have built, looking for external help, depending on others for your comfort, for your happiness, for your strength. These can only be found within yourselves. 
You are accustomed to being told how far you have advanced, what is your spiritual status. How childish! Who but yourself can tell you if you are beautiful or ugly within Who but yourself can tell you if you are incorruptible You are not serious in these things. 
But those who really desire to understand, who are looking to find that which is eternal, without beginning and without an end, will walk together with a greater intensity, will be a danger to everything that is unessential, to unrealities, to shadows. And they will concentrate, they will become the flame, because they understand. Such a body we must create, and that is my purpose. Because of that real understanding there will be true friendship. Because of that true friendship–which you do not seem to know–there will be real cooperation on the part of each one. And this not because of authority, not because of salvation, not because of immolation for a cause, but because you really understand, and hence are capable of living in the eternal. This is a greater thing than all pleasure, than all sacrifice. 
So these are some of the reasons why, after careful consideration for two years, I have made this decision. It is not from a momentary impulse. I have not been persuaded to it by anyone. I am not persuaded in such things. For two years I have been thinking about this, slowly, carefully, patiently, and I have now decided to disband the Order, as I happen to be its Head. You can form other organizations and expect someone else. With that I am not concerned, nor with creating new cages, new decorations for those cages. My only concern is to set men absolutely, unconditionally free." 

天安门印象

对天安门最早的印象就是那六四事件,震撼了海外多少人的心,就连我这个小孩也还记得。
最近刚逝世的美国传奇记者华莱士,就和前中国领导江泽民有过以下对话。

(按:从http://history.dwnews.com/news/2012-04-09/58695196-all.html摘录)
华:您佩不佩服这名青年的勇气?那个青年的心,他的勇气。那个独自站在那里对抗坦克车的人。
江:我知道西方媒体很喜欢这张照片,你们想找到一个象征,却不想知道那个象征后面的东西。你说到那个青年的勇气,我来告诉你你所谓的勇气是什么。这个青年从小就从父母、老师和社会那 里了解到解放军是人民的子弟兵,他绝不相信子弟兵的坦克车会从他身上压过去。更何况他的想法在那张照片之前被很多人很长时间证实着。大约有20多天里,持 枪军队的军车被阻,枪械被抢走,士兵们被围困在车内,在大热天里没有水喝没有饭吃,打不还手,骂不还口,世界上还有任何其它的军队能够做到这一点吗?但是 这个青年清楚地知道,他面对的正是这样一只军队。正像你们的录像拍到的那样,坦克车果然停下来了。一支庞大的军队面对一个手无寸铁的青却束手无策,这倒底 说明了什么?是像你们解释的那样说明了这个青年的勇敢,还是说明了这只军队根本就不愿意也不可能去伤害人民?如果这个青年面对的是国民党军队或是美国军 队,他还敢单枪匹马地站在坦克车队前面吗?我敢保让,他不会这样蠢,他会去参加革命,使他的勇敢产生更有价值的效果,就像我们当年做的那样。

再等我大一点,对天安门的印象就是毛泽东站在上面宣布中华人民共和国成立的黑白照。

对于第一次去中国的我和太太,北京就是我们的目标。而紫禁城前的天安门就是我们想去走一走的。
天安门广场(国旗旁围了铁栅才能拍到这样的,要不然那片空地上一定是挤满人)

北京9天8夜行程--Airasia


行程大纲

Day1 – 住宿北京的护国寺街,三里屯village和酒吧街
Day2 – 故宫路线(前门-天安门-故宫-景山公园-北海公园前海荷花市场
Day3 –天安门升旗、天坛、北京自然博物馆、天桥 、前门大街、大栅栏
Day4 –颐和园、圆明园、五道口
Day5 – 雍和宫、孔庙/国子监、簋街、王府井区、东方广场
Day6 – 慕田峪长城
Day7 – 恭王府区、前后海、钟鼓楼、鸟巢、水立方
Day8 –玉渊潭、首都博物馆、前门大街
Day9 – 回程

不过行程规划还是各花入各眼,每个人的需求都不一样,最重要自己开心。以上只是作为我个人参考而已。

遊北京,古老宫殿的庄严沦为旅客到此一游的样子。仁德沦落犹如何?

今人踏平龙路,不思量,只做到此一游状。
古殿泣,忆起京华梦。正昂首,梦又醒,落入平民宅。
呜呼江水逝者也,不如孤舟钓晚,待天明!

慕田峪長城--真正公交(公共巴士)攻略和玩法


4月3日去了萬里長城(也是我第一次去中國),選了大家推薦的慕田峪長城(沒去八達嶺)。也不想包車去,就決定學當地人乘公交去。也想搞清楚大家一直發問的916號和936號。
(參考www.mutianyugreatwall.net)

這就是新的867號,取代舊的936號。

3月27日•晨雨•心情拼盘

清晨的大雨,你脚可痛否?
城市的心好像困在单调的单行道,全部事情都是用思念完成。
这里没有桃花,因为这里是马来西亚;也没有绿草,因为我们从来没有用心去看。
你还记得吗?对面的屋子依旧有几片破了的窗,你会这么办呢?不想理?不想修?换了它?欣赏它?顺其自然?这屋子何尝不就是我们的爱、我们的心。干脆就种一棵玫瑰吧。
其实又何必让心住在破窗?我们还看到那融于自然的屋子吗?屋子旁边的小湖是不是有我们丢下的漂流瓶?
我们追忆的年华不似水,只是一场荒唐的人生剧本。
什么是幸福?我们拼命寻找,其实漂流瓶等待无心人。
雨是水,湖是水,泪也是水,而我们的回忆还会是水吗?
雨会停的,泪会停的,我们的思念会停吗?
一堆虚华的思念会腐化,一堆文字会
文字不求坚涩,就如爱情只需单纯。

未完成的灯蛾偈

一寒一暑死复生,
十四寒暑苦轮回,
化蛹成蛾觅天仙,
却扑烛火为谁争?

写于农历正月十四夜 春雨狂暴后

情难了意难忘 旧日鸳鸯竟成单
春雨骤惊雷闪 行人纷纷藏
江涛急孤舟残 今夜踱步莫能度彼岸
笑声脆愁眉展 江边小童追逐欢
天难总有过去时 为何急急与天抗
云散风清鸳鸯聚 凡人情同比自然

《孟子》《万章章句下》

孟子曰:"不挟长,不挟贵,不挟兄弟而友。友也者,友其德也,不可以有挟也。。。用下敬上,谓之贵贵;用上敬下,谓之尊贤。贵贵尊贤,其义一也。"

孟子答道:"不倚仗自己年纪大,不倚仗自己地位高,不倚仗自己兄弟的富贵。交朋友,因为朋友的品德而去交他,因此心目中不能存在任何有所倚仗的观念。。。以职位卑下的人尊敬高贵的人,叫做尊重贵人;以高贵的人尊敬职位卑下的人,叫做尊敬贤者。尊重贵人和尊敬贤者,道理是相同的。

Mencius, "Not because of I am older, Not because of my status is higher, Not because of my brothers are rich. Making friend, is because of his moral. Therefore, we cannot have any discrimination in our heart... Lower position respect higher position, higher position respect lower position, the principle is the same."

杰狐说。
我们往往过分注重表象和财富,认为结交这样的朋友是好的。可有想过一个品德不好的人,到底是会帮你还是害你?
职位或财富高低应该是其次的,尊敬一个人是因为这个人的品德。

Jeff say.
We are over focus for surface and wealth, always believe making such friends is good. Have ever thought that an immoral person will help us or hurt us? Position lower or higher is always not the top priority, we respect one because of his moral.

    老外学中文

    今天在星洲日报看到四则笑话,觉得有趣,特摘录以此。

    (一)
    美女兴致勃勃问医生:"我想丰胸,但是丰胸后有什么效果?"
    医生淡定答道:"丰胸后,一般会有四种结果:1,大不一样;2,不大一样;3,一样不大;4,不一样大!"

    (二)
    一位刚学过一点中文的美国人到中国,中国朋友请他吃饭。
    到了饭店落座,中国朋友说:"对不起,我去方便一下。"
    那老外没听明白,"方便"是哪里?见老外疑惑,朋友告诉他说"方便",口语里是"上厕所"的意思。哦,老外意会了。
    席间,中国朋友对老外说:"我下次到美国,希望你能提供些方便。"
    老外纳闷:他去美国,让我提供些厕所干嘛?
    道别时,另一位中国朋友热情对老外说:"我想在你方便的时候请你吃饭。"
    见老外惊讶发愣,中国朋友接着说:"如果你最近不方便的话,咱们改日。。。"老外无语。
    "咱们找个你我都方便的时候一起吃饭吧。" 老外随即晕了。

    (三)
    一位老师向老外学生解释"乳"字的含义:乳即小的意思,比如乳鸽、乳猪等。
    讲解完,老师要学生用"乳"字造句。
    老外学生:"现在房价太高了,所以我家只能买得起20平方米的乳房。"
    老师听了,冒着冷汗说:"再造一句!"
    老外学生:"我年纪太小,连一米宽的乳沟都跳不过去。"
    老师冷汗如雨下,又说:"再造一句!"
    老外学生:"老师,我真的想不出来了,我的乳头都快想破了。"

    (四)
    某老外苦学汉语10年,到中国参加汉语考试。试题一:请解释下文每个"意思"的意思。
    领导:"你这是什么意思?"
    阿呆:"没什么意思,意思意思而已。"
    领导:"你这就不够意思了。"
    阿呆:"小意思,小意思。"
    领导:"你这人真有意思。"
    阿呆:"其实也没别的意思。"
    领导:"那我就不好意思了。"
    阿呆:"是我不好意思。"
    这老外看了,一头雾水。于是他交白卷回国。
