China won the applause of the world with an impossible Olympics show in anywhere but Beijing.

Beijing had staked everything on the Games, galvanizing the nation, spending billions to rebuild the ancient capital, erecting fantastic stadiums and producing the kind of opening and closing ceremonies that can only be created in China, with tens of thousands of performers dazzling a global television audience the vibrant displays of color and mass synchronization.

心经

吾用心追求爱,小心呵护,却未见希望之成长,而跌至深渊。九九八十一难,终要历炼。

玄奘西行取经,历经千辛万苦,终成高僧,译众多佛家典籍,而以精炼的《心经》最为世人所知。

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时,照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄。舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,色即是空,空即是色,受想行识, 亦复如是。舍利子,是诸法空相,不生不灭, 不垢不净,不增不减。是故空中无色,无受想行识,无眼耳鼻舌身意,无色声香味触法, 无眼界,乃至无意识界,无无明,亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。无苦集灭道, 无智亦无得,以无所得故。菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无挂碍,无挂碍故,无有恐怖,远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃。三世诸佛, 依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。故知般若波罗蜜多是大神咒,是大明咒, 是无上咒,是无等等咒,能除一切苦,真实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多咒,即说咒曰:揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提娑婆诃。


最近读王守仁。其少时追求人生之终极意义,参悟“理”与“心”。经“格竹”等磨难,终顿悟心乃理之所以,理乃心之所存,实践知行合一,成就哲学圣人。 吾未曾用心,何来顿悟? 烦恼终将过去,明日太阳会灿烂.

A Different Kind Of Nothingness

The sand of Namibia deserts shine in the sun light. The simple and pure colour, the strong contrast between bright and dark make the desert dazzlingly beautiful and attract many tourists to climb the dunes where the roads exist only temporarily. Well, it is certainly not a pleasant living place for many organisms which prefer chaos, organically-disordered chaos. Yes, pureness and simpleness is too good to be healthy to lives.

Love hurts...

It hurts so much.. esp when you thought you have touched the happiness of love and it is blown away.
Pressure amounts. How longer can I endure? Does true love exists?

山城重庆


八月湿热的夏天,3日到重庆逛逛。体会了古镇磁器口,逛了商业繁华之地观音桥、解放碑、三角碑,夜在朝天门看夜景。
垂直的高楼,上上下下的立体路面,浑浊的江水,雾蒙蒙的天气,繁华的街市是我对这一西部发展重镇的第一印象。
次日,雨。在重庆大学信步仙游,遭雨,在民主湖前避雨。湖中荷花虽已过旺季,依旧有娇艳的荷花伴同着即将成熟的饱满莲蓬。正面的湖中有紫色的莲花,我想是小时采过的“鸡头”吧。

两日来,山城之行未从给我带来喜悦开心之情。
夜行归,又想起Akon的Lonely很是贴切自己的心情。
