永远在变的生命
遥远的我,
突然想起了你。
漫长的轮回中,
无数的悲欢离合,是为了什么?
无尽广阔的世界中,
我孤单的看着心底中的你:
你们过的好吗?
过去原来是这么的近,
却又那么的遥远。
你在我的世界的你,
我在你的世界的我。
原来我们一直都生活在自己创造的世界中,
却又在彼此的世界中联系在一起。
永远的此时此刻,你们过的好吗?

Gratitude to my Father
I saw a vision in my mind.
It was an event happened during my primary school days.
I can feel that bitterness in my heart even now, that I cried. I felt very wronged, very angry when I was disturbed by others in school. Then my father will talk to me in his room, teaching me the virtues of being tolerant, that I should not get angry over other people's misdeed, I should be forgiving. I cried, when he told me all these, but I understood the beauty of being good, of being virtuous.
So I became the peace-maker in school. I will appease any quarrels between my classmates, I'll repeat the teachings that I've learnt from my father to them. Although, I am very hot tempered myself too.
There is a girl I remembered, when I was P5. We quarrelled from P5-P6, but, the quarrel was all in the mouth... We are still friends, not matter how heated up we are. Not enemies in our minds.
This is how I grew up for 6 years.
It was another senerio in Secondary school. I can no longer appease any war between anyone. I was exposed to all the "Yellow" languages and topics. So, I mixed with the girls more closely than guys. Maybe gossips and better than those things.
It was my merit to have interest in Chinese culture, that I start reading 儒家经典. collecting and searching 四书五经. From 论语,I learnt about the path of 君子and Righteousness.
At my time, gansters are common in my school. Fights, bully case, defiance and so on... It's a complicated environment. That's how I was prevented from turning too bad, though I was constantly bullied by a group of people.
My 君子之道 carries on all the way into my Poly life when slowly, my 君子之道 became 觉悟之道。But, it all started from my childhood education, the education of virtues and morality, which still keeps me in the right path. It was the virtues that I was taught protected me. All the canning and tears, seems to be worthwhile when I see what kind of person am I, deep within, though not perfect in purity.

沉痛悼念天漢管理員、百度漢服吧吧主天風環珮
丁亥年夏曆九月十八日(西曆2007年十月二十八日),原天漢管理員、百度漢服吧吧主天風環珮(溪山琴況),因心疾去世,享年三十歲。天風環珮自從2005年4月來到天漢以來,為漢服事業做出了卓絕的貢獻,他發表了一系列具有前瞻性的文章,準確判斷並指明了漢服運動的前進方向;他提出並主持天漢民族禮儀復興、節日復興和漢服產業化三大計畫,為此整理了大量文獻,撰寫了大量文章,為漢服事業構建了理論體系,使漢服運動的形式發生了深遠的改變。天風首次用綱領的形式,將漢服運動與華夏民族及其文化復興緊密結合起來,提出華夏復興,衣冠先行。以此為原則,天漢將論壇結構調整為華夏生活方式、華夏藝術與審美、華夏生產經濟與科技技藝、華夏制度文明、華夏思想與精神,有計劃、全方位地實施華夏復興事業,完成了天漢立站以來最根本的一次轉型,為眾多有志于華夏復興的人們提供了寶貴的指導。天風功業之偉,對於天漢、對於漢服事業,對於華夏復興,都是值得人們永遠銘記的。
天風環珮自始至終,心系華夏,筆耕不輟,他首倡的冠笄禮計畫、華夏正昏禮計畫、中國式學位服計畫、奧運禮服計畫均獲得社會廣泛關注和讚譽。
天風彌留之際,仍留下如下遺言:
“華夏復興,天風魂牽夢繞,至死不忘育我民族,死後怎舍夢裏衣冠。始于衣冠,再造華夏,同袍之責,我心之願。華夏復興,同胞幸福,天風叩祈蒼天。”
拳拳之心,即日月亦為之動容!
他案頭筆記中,仍留存著華夏昏禮修改稿、中國式學位服第二稿、奧運禮服設計稿等,而如今筆墨尚新,斯人已去,怎不令人扼腕拭目,長嗟短歎!
鑒於天風環珮對漢服事業的重大貢獻,以及他在天漢同仁心中的崇高地位,天漢管理團隊決定:
以天漢最隆重的形式祭奠天風環珮,發佈祭文並全站總置頂至天風逝世之第七個七日、組織各類紀念活動。
停止天漢一切娛樂版面活動3日,以示哀悼。
天漢管理組全體成員三日內,不行吉禮,不舉樂、不設筵,悼念天風環珮。
以下公佈天漢民族文化網祭天風環珮文。

晚辈,向天風環珮前辈鞠躬。
哀哉!惊闻天風環珮突然病逝深感惊讶。
你我虽素未谋面,但与你确有薄缘。望前辈走好,来世在续今生志愿。
我们将不忘您的意志,继续着您的精神。
愿你在天之灵,庇佑大家可以平安顺利的推广咱们华夏的精髓及文化。
庇佑我大汉精神永续长存。您对于华夏文化的贡献与付出将会被后人传颂。
恕我无法亲临远在中国的纪念活动。故在下在寒舍,行小祭祀,替之。
净香一枝。奠酒一杯。献挽诗。着汉服。向天行三鞠躬,以尉亡灵。
挽诗如下:
黄帝经千年,如君竟不留。
虽君已长眠,汉业必不亡。
丁亥年夏历十月初七 晚辈四德敬挽

Principle of all supporters of the Buddha
For all Buddhist's or believers of Buddha or even non-buddhist's too.
They should keep these 5 basic principles, which the Buddha had taught, where he clearly mentions that keeping these 5 principles dutifully are much useful than any praying, worshipping, attending rituals and ceremonies:
1. Learn to give up killing: Practise not to kill, nor cause it to be killed, nor should he incite another to kill. Do not injure any being, either strong or weak, in the world.
2. Learn to give up stealing: Practise not to steal nor incite another to steal.
3. Learn to give up sexual misconduct: Practise not to commit adultery, prostitution, illicit sex.
4. Learn to give up lying: Practise not to tell lies or incite others to do so.
5. Learn to give up drinking alcoholic liquors and taking drugs that leads to carelessness: Practise not to indulge in the drinking and drugs nor encourage others to do so.
By keeping this 5 principles, he protects others and oneself. He does not create further fear and danger to others and oneself.
This are the requirements of a human birth, any person who observes this 5 things are considered a virtuous person, a good person.
Since this was taught be the Buddha personally, why shouldn't we as followers and believers uphold them? If we believe that Buddha can help us by praying, we should follow his teachings when he says that this is much better than praying... isn't it?
I still see many people praying to Buddha for help when the Buddha actually proposed something much better and leading to much happiness and inner peace...
Ironic world... but there are still wise people who understands... = )

Simple yet easily forgotten...
If you fear pain, if you dislike pain,
Don't do an evil deed in open or in secret.
If you're doing or will do an evil deed,
You won't escape pain:
it will catch you even as you run away.
- Udana 5.4

超绝的寿联
寿联= Birthday Couplets (生日写的对联,拿来祝寿用的)
据传闻,某奸臣为其母做寿,请人当场书写寿联,只见那人开始写道:“这个婆娘不是人”,
满座见之哗然,寿星见之欲发作,只见那人从容写道:“王母娘娘下凡尘”;
其下联是:“养个儿子是盗贼,偷来蟠桃奉至亲。”此联可谓“骂人不吐核”,让人有苦说不出。
这个婆娘不是人,王母娘娘下凡尘。
养个儿子是盗贼,偷来蟠桃奉至亲。
哈哈哈~~!!骂人骂的淋漓尽致了。。。LOLz

轩辕剑叁的感慨
“只要有邪念,任何的真理都可以被曲解”,想不到,这句话会在游戏里出现。
这句话是在封印了撒旦之后的结局篇中,那位邪恶的教士“恐惧之王”所说的。他的目的,就是要扭曲世上所有的真理。这句话有他来说,正适合不过。其道理,十分深刻。我认为,看不懂的人有很多。。。误解这句话的人也会有很多。
《轩辕剑叁之云和山的彼端》提倡了“宗教和谐”的道理,内涵旋绕在当今以被曲解的宗教教义。另外一点就是“王道”,主角所一直寻找的“东方战无不胜的方法”,其实,王道,就是王者之道,来自“孟子”。王道既是“仁慈”与“次序”。很多的剧情让我感到赞叹,一时说不完,一说就要长篇大论。
我从13岁就开始玩轩辕剑,从轩辕剑外传之枫之舞,到现在,已经20岁咯!它吸引我的地方就是其中身后的文学内涵。每一集都少不了诗赋,和一些历史知识,统合了中国传统的文化及神话内涵。由始至终,每一集都让我学习到许多很有意义的道理。有人情、有道义、有真挚的友情,还有世间的种种道理。令很多人喜欢,包括我的,是它独特的2D山水画背景。当时在2003年出的《肆之黑龙起兮云飞扬》变成了3D,很多玩家一时还接受不来。
但这次,除了以往的中国故事背景,它结合了欧洲和中东的元素,和那个时代的历史事迹,如在欧洲的“十字军东征”,大食与唐朝的战争,还有唐朝的“安史之乱”,还有宗教特质。主角也非华人,而是华人混血。混谁的血我不清楚。但可以肯定,他是上一位轩辕剑持有者的后代。
《云和山的彼端》中,阻止教士建造由人骨而成的“反曼陀罗阵”后,慧荣大师有一句诗是这样:
“生死别人间,骨肉散尘烟。
比丘拜土石,无缘悟梵天。”
慧荣大师接着说:
“生命不止限于皮肉上存在。使用完的肉体归为尘土,人归天上;尘土被用来塑造佛像又如何呢?”
故事把伊斯兰教、基督教不崇拜偶像的教诲和大师所说的道理,现示其中的共同点。
有一段对白,没有读古诗的人是很难理解的。王思月对主角说了一句,以表达爱意:
“青青子衿,悠悠我心。纵我不往,子宁不嗣音”
翻译:
青青的是你衣襟 悠悠的是我芳心
纵使我不去看你 你难道就不回音
王思月本意是要主角表达情意,结果主角弄错了,误以为是曹操的短歌行:
“青青子衿,悠悠我心。但为君故,沈吟至今。”
短歌行中,青青子衿,指的是士子,因为汉代太学生(相当于今日国立大学生)是穿青色的衣裳。这一段的意思是:穿着青衣的士人呀,是我心所仰慕的,因为你们的原故,我思考该如何招揽你们。
但说回来。。。现在已经出到轩辕剑五外传了。。。我还在三啊。不说,别人还以为我要花8年玩轩辕剑《壹》、《贰》、《外传枫之舞》、《叁》和《外传天之痕》。其实在我16岁那年就没完了。直到最近才开始,从去年的《天之痕》开始,花了三天,直到前三天在玩《叁》。
除了轩辕剑,也只有仙剑奇侠传98版和金庸群侠传。但还是轩辕剑为吾最爱。= )

你对自己的民族了解多少?
另外一择汉服报道。。。
很可惜,有些人不屑自己是汉人,或华人,对于自己的语言和文化的愚昧无知不以为然。希望会有更多的人,不只为物质而活,也为精神而活吧。我赞叹先辈们的智慧,所以也不希望这些智慧与精神在我们的手上消失。那份感恩,尊敬及懂得思念、传承先辈的智慧,是一个族群,一个国家兴衰的因素之一。
佛在大涅盘经曰:“阿难,当越祗人凡有所作为皆依照越祗古昔所传制度,仍是未兴者不兴,已兴者不废,则彼等是只会兴盛,不会衰微。”

Going whose way?
When things doesn't go along the way we want it to be, commonly the very first reaction is negativity. But what comes after the negativity?
A reflection of the previous negativity?
An abandonment of the previous negativity?
An arising of positivity?
Or a continuation of the negativity?
The kathina day in Santi was a fruitful one for mei xuan and myself. I'm not sure of the rest. I was very inspired and encouraged when she spoke to me about it in a sense of seriousness and sincerity which I normally doesn't see. We both shared a common knowledge that day and a common fault: We extend our concern to others till we forget to practise it ourselves.
I'll keep the words of Ajhan in mind always, to practise ourselves first, watching over our own defilements. It seems selfish, but it is not. I shouldn't be worrying about that. The Buddha had said before:
When watching after oneself, one watches after others.
When watching after others, one watches after oneself.
... ...Through pursuing [the practice], through developing it, through devoting oneself to it.
This is how one, when watching after oneself, watches after others.
... ...Through endurance, through harmlessness, and through a mind of kindness & sympathy.
This is how one, when watching after others, watches after oneself.
I vow, here and now, to uphold this teaching strictly.
It is amazing, the cooling effect each time I recall the Dhamma, as compared to the agitation when I recall about worldly concerns such as, "Why didn't he do well", "Why can't he understand", which actually doesn't bring any fruit, although it was out of concern.
It makes my mind more dull, more corrupted, more deluded, whereas when the teachings arises, it makes my mind calm to the extend I can see it now, which I don't, just sometime ago, when I was at my first sentence.
When I'm mindful of what I wanted to say, and measure it's benefits, many are ought to be ommited. When the condition doesn't ripe, there is nothing you can do about it.
How does the condition ripes? From constantly practising Dana, Sila and Bhavana.
No attainment can arise without merit, including Buddhahood. (From Nidhi Khanda Sutta)
Now I see the way. I just need to encourage people to practise Dana, Sila and Bhavana with myself, with the Sangha, when they doesn't understand the Doctrinal side of the Dhamma. It all starts from Dana, Sila and Bhavana, and the first explaination made should be it.
