Now

2011-11-24T06:51:00.000-08:00

Long time no write,
Want to say a few words,
But what to say?
As I contrive,
Discomfort arise,
Why forcing yourself?
To be this or that,
Ah!
How to conclude this?
What a struggle!
Let just stop and drop!
Conclusion is an illusion,
All we have is NOW!
Endless openness!

Dream

2011-05-10T08:34:00.000-07:00

This is a dream and I'm just dreaming,
This is a dream and now I'm dreaming,
This is a dream and now I'm in dream,
This is a dream where there is no duality.

To the space

2011-02-07T08:12:00.000-08:00

It is nice to be a real nobody...

Not anything's or anyone's anybody...

So that can free to be whatever it is...

Is nice to be writing to empty space...

For it is not going to judge or argue...

Just listen with its pure openness...

Perhaps we can call it love?

Call it whatever you like ;>

It doesn't give a damn and you are the most welcomed, ha ha ha!

Today

2011-01-25T08:35:00.001-08:00

Boss' favorite word of the day..."Bloody"

No way?

2010-12-07T08:54:00.000-08:00

Perhaps the only difference between us is this one thought that we are different.

Just perhaps

2010-12-07T08:48:00.000-08:00

Perhaps true freedom involves freedom from safety and security...any sense of certainty...
If then do you still want it?

What is it?

2010-12-07T08:45:00.000-08:00

What are you seeing in front of you?
Some words?
Some colors?
A screen?
Some particles?
Lights...
Waves...
Can you really put it into words?
How ordinary, yet inexpressible!?

Freedom from the known

2010-12-07T08:39:00.000-08:00

Can you not ask to do or not to do?
Must you always carry the past with you?
Can you just be?
This present moment

2010-08-18T08:30:00.000-07:00

When you love the moment, the moment loves you back.

...random thought of the day...

2010-07-16T09:10:00.000-07:00

Not seeing a solution isn't a problem.
But wanting a certain result is a problem.

Q&A

2010-06-08T07:39:00.001-07:00

What is the relationship between Question and Answer?
Question is the cause, answer is the result.

Listening n thinking

2010-05-26T07:00:00.000-07:00

In a sense, listening is like the opposite of thinking.
When you think you can't truely listen.
Btw, have you ever try listening to your thoughts?
What happen when you put your whole heart to listening to your thoughts?
There might still be thoughts, but are they really thinking then?
Or they are just thoughts?

Pain never goes

2010-05-20T13:04:00.000-07:00

The desire to run away from pain is the real pain.
On the other hand, the object you want to run away from is simply what it is.

Listening 2

2010-05-15T08:33:00.001-07:00

Listening and projecting also don't go well together.

...

2010-05-15T08:25:00.000-07:00

Not thinking about it doesn't mean the problem will disappear.
Thinking about it doesn't mean it would help.
Sometimes thinking do help to solve a problem.
Sometimes thinking brings no extra benefit except of painful headache.
Sometimes the solution you came up with is actually a death trap.
Sometimes the problem will naturally dissolve itself even when you do nothing.
So what can or should you do?
There simply isn't a perfect method.
Perhaps this is what is called life, or what life is all about.
There is no perfect method to get by.
Just live without having the perfect method and not demanding such an illusionary object might be is the only truthful method we can find.

Growing, Contradiction, Question

2010-05-12T09:35:00.001-07:00

Once I heard an old crazy man said: "In order to grow, you must endlessly contradict yourself."

Then, isn't it that in order to contradict yourself, you must question yourself or your views many times?

2 type of questioning

2010-05-12T09:27:00.000-07:00

There are two types of questioning.
(1) questioning other views in the attempt to defeat them and defend your own view
(2) questioning something, in the sense of exploring, out of the sake of gaining greater understanding and clarity of the object being examine
Guess which one would strengthen our fixation and which would help us to expand our mind?

What is this blog all about?

2010-05-11T10:13:00.000-07:00

just for scribbling down some random thoughts

Listening

2010-05-11T10:10:00.000-07:00

Listening and grasping...don't really go well together I guess.

Freedom

2010-04-04T11:15:00.000-07:00

True freedom is not about the narrow freedom of getting what you wanted.

It is the freedom to be able to fall in love with anything and everything.

Honesty

2010-04-02T10:40:00.000-07:00

Honesty is heart of beauty, love, wisdom, and joy.

Q&A2

2010-03-18T13:58:00.000-07:00

Answers depend on their questions.
Questions depends on their questioners.
When questioner is you, the answer will entirely be dependent upon you.
How you define you questions;
How you choose to define each words in your questions;
How your answers would be shaped.
Is this short or long?
Isn't it dependent upon how you choose to define long?
Is this real or not real?
Isn't it simply dependent upon how you choose to define what is real?
When you know clearly know what you are asking, usually the answer would be quite obvious.
You are inseparable from the answers to your questions.
You are the answers to your questions!

Btw, one of the most beautiful answers is "I don't know!"
To admit "I don't know, or can't be determined" is often the best answer.
The most sane and enlightened thing to realize.
Stop rejecting your enlightened insight.
Stop trading away reality for your fantasies.

Q&A

2010-03-16T01:02:00.000-07:00

We all want are answers.

But few of us knows answer and question are interdependent.

Answers depend on their questions!

In this sense, the question is much more primary and important.

Question is the cause, answer is the result.

If you want a relevant answer, then you must have the relevant question.

If you want a precise answer, then you must ask a precise question.

If you want a general answer, then you must ask a general question.

This is simply the way Q&A works.

Very often, by asking the right question, the right answer would come very naturally.

Questioning vs. Doubting

2010-03-16T00:43:00.000-07:00

Genuine questioning is more related to inquisitiveness, openness to explore, to see what is really there.
Although questioning also affiliated with doubting and might involve some senses of doubting.
Doubting and questioning aren't exactly the same thing.
To doubt something involve a sense of disagreeing; there is a sense of preexist or immediate judgement even before you begin to explore.
To doubt can be a healthy thing, a vital and beautiful ability to have.
But it also can be harmful when it is overdone, i.e. when one establishes the habitual tendency to doubt everything and anything.
In other words, the mind become so habituate to doubting that it loses its ability to see things with a genuine open mind.
And as a result, nothing is permitted to get it.

Wisdom

2010-03-16T00:00:00.001-07:00

Wisdom isn't about having the right answer.
But is the freedom from answers.

Looking for sense of security

2010-03-14T03:57:00.000-07:00

Security? I don't want to live inside a bubble, fantasy, or shell.

Marketer of poverty mentality

2010-03-11T00:17:00.000-08:00

What are they advertising all day long?
Claiming to be our friends
Vowing to enrich our life
Aren't they simply marketing dissatisfaction in reality?
As if we aren't poor enough...

color & mirror

2010-03-11T00:07:00.001-08:00

Who can tell me what is the color of a perfect mirror?

a friendly reminder given by my most genuine friend

2010-03-03T13:46:00.000-08:00

How can you ever overcome what you painted over or are escaping from?

感嘆

2010-03-03T09:47:00.000-08:00

最近又聽見有大學生自殺﹐ 覺得無限可惜...
上一代的人﹐ 活在科技較落後和物質較貧乏的世界﹐ 荷包也比較緊.
這一代的人﹐ 活在明顯地較先進和富裕的世界﹐ 但思想卻相等顯著的較狹窄﹐ 老跑向牛角尖.
是否科技和物質的錯?
可能與科技和物質有關﹐ 但它們只是死物﹐ 只是工具﹐ 如一把刀﹐ 歸咎於它有點說不通...
能否說是我們盲目地走錯了方向?
在多姿多彩﹐ 瞬息萬變的時空中失了根﹐ 忘了本?

Living and Dying

2010-03-03T02:24:00.000-08:00

Living - isn't it simply is the dying of every moment?
Dying - isn't it the very miraculous heart beat of what we call living?
Aren't they simply the two sides of the same coin?

The courage of being nobody

2010-02-23T09:21:00.000-08:00

Everyone wants to be a somebody.
Even the biggest loser want to be a somebody.
To want to be a somebody doesn't require any courage.
All you need is dissatisfaction, which we all only have way too much.
But to be a real nobody, you need real courage.
The courage to appreciate.
The courage to be just as one is.
It requires real guts!
Do you have the courage to be ?

Uncertainty

2010-02-23T09:10:00.000-08:00

To feel uncertain is the manifestation of great wisdom!

Stop trying to look for escapes!

Stop seeking comfort from deceiving thoughts!

Just face the truth as it is!

Just face uncertainty as it is!

Stop rejecting the insight of your wisdom!

Caveat!!!

2010-02-17T13:29:00.000-08:00

Excerpt from "I'm nobody! Who are you?"
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us--don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
~ Emily Dickinson

...The fact is, the society simply can't tolerate it. Even the mere concept of it could be too difficult for the egos/grasping minds to bear...whether it is for your own ego or for those of others...

I'm nobody ^o^

2010-02-17T09:29:00.000-08:00

The best thing about being nobody is that you can truly be yourself.

這一刻

2010-02-17T05:05:00.000-08:00

喂喂喂
你現在又以為自己是甚麼?

人生三樂

2010-02-17T04:48:00.001-08:00

睏時能睡
餓時能吃
急時能解

噢妙的緣份

2010-02-17T04:41:00.000-08:00

甚麼是緣份?
能跟您在這裡相遇便是緣份吧!

無話

2010-02-12T09:51:00.000-08:00

想寫點東西,但又發現沒有什麼真的想說...
這可能是一件好事...

For saviors

2010-02-11T12:07:00.000-08:00

Question: How to help someone who don't want your help?

Answer: How about just do him a little favor. Leave him alone.

你也是浪人嗎?

2010-02-06T09:04:00.000-08:00

我是一個浪人
流浪於都市中
流浪於人面中
流浪於希望中
流浪於恐懼中
流浪於幻想中
流浪於鏡子中
流浪於太虛中
流浪於色彩中
你也是浪人嗎
