When you totally rest, your mind stops differentiating. You realize the world as one and you feel it is actually pretty good to feel that way (I mean you have the peace).
Life is moving very quickly. Follow the flow. Then there is peace.
When you move, you stay with one. When you don’t stay with [...]

Play, learn, create, and friends

We human beings have limitation. To live in the dynamic life process, it helps to have some very simple minimum guidelines in your mind. What helps me in practice is: only three things to do — play, learn, and create (I have posted on this a lot. They are the basic living activities.); friends (Friendship [...]
Don’t learn Buddhism

Don’t expect Buddhism can solve all your problems. This is modern time and human civilizations have accumulated a lot of knowledge. As an individual, you have the responsibility to learn the knowledge to function responsibly in this world. You need to rely on thinking because you cannot see society clearly. That is the limitation of [...]

I found this from an old note of mine (more than 3 years ago), and felt it an interesting thing to post here. So far below is the original note and I didn’t make any change.

I watched the screening of this movie about one month ago. The prisoners in the movie had practiced in a very sincere way. Here are just some quotes from them (I don’t remember the exact words, so it is more a paraphrase):
“it is ok if i don’t get out of here for life. But it [...]
Trip to China — part 1

I write this as a journey of consciousness. The whole thing might seem to be very strange to you. I guess you can just read it for fun.
I had thought that I might have overwhelming emotions when the horizon of China appeared before me, just like the last time I went back 7 years ago. [...]

Sorry I haven’t been able to post much on this blog recently. After returning from China, I opened a Chinese blog so I can write for my parents, relatives and friends in China. This trip made me realize that I owed them too much all these years. There were many sad things that wouldn’t have [...]
