  "When your nature is stable, energy naturally returns.
  When energy returns, Elixir spontaneously crystallizes,
  In the pot pairing water and fire.
  Yin and yang arise, alternating over and over again,
  Everywhere producing the sound of thunder.
  White clouds assemble on the summit,
  Sweet dew bathes the polar mountain.
  Having drunk the wine of longevity,
  You wander free; who can know you?
  You sit and listen to the stringless tune,
  You clearly understand the mechanism of creation."

  - Zhang Jun Bao (late Song dynasty). Founder of internal taiji forms and strategies. He is better known as Zhang San Feng - 武当山太�张三丰.

  1. 一念之間 】
     心�是自己的地方，你�以把地�變天堂，
     你也�以把天堂變地�，
     自己就是自己的�薩，自己也是自己的魔鬼，
     神鬼都是自己的造化，
     你�怎麼建造自己的心�世界是自己的事，
     ...

     沒有人能幫你美化，腦袋也是你自己的，
     任由你怎麼想，別人也永�無法�代你的�想，
     你的想法來自你的心念，你的�法來自你的想法，
     心念創造了�想，�想創造了�法，�法創造了你的�實世界，你�去那裡，是心帶你去的，
     天堂與地�活生生在我們心中存在，那就是善惡一念之間。。

  the arrival of spring is late

  but you shall run, as you were,

  and cherish these cherry blossoms

  in the bay that was once green

   

  you close up that sad feelings

  in these hard times;

  i beckon your soul to be liberated:

  “please not be so patient this time.

  please allow distant blessings balm your wound."

   

  share the sorrows and grievances, though,

  patience, hardships and silence are

  virtues of resilience and rehabilitation

  of orphaned nations

   

  i beckon your soul to be liberated

  from the dew at the tip of its wilting end

  你�会失去你所执著的。�执著就无所谓的失去。得亦淡然，失亦�然。

  Millions of spiritual creatures Walk the earth, Both when we wake, And when we sleep. What if earth and heaven Be to each other like More than on earth is thought? What if you slept? And what if, In your sleep, You dreamed? And what if, In your dream, You went to heaven And there plucked a beautiful flower? And what if, When you awoke, You had the flower in your hand? Ah...What then? Author Unknown

  The Road Not Taken Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveller, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same. And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black. Oh, I kept the first for another day! Yet knowing how way leads on to way, I doubted if I should ever come back. I shall be telling this with a sigh Somewhere ages and ages hence: Two roads diverged in a wood, and I took the one less travelled by, And that has made all the difference. Author Unknown

  I like this thread.....its peaceful. THE WORLD IS YOUR MIRROR The world is your mirror. The good you find in others, is in you too. The faults you find in others, are your faults as well. After all, to recognize something you must know it. The possibilities you see in others, are possible for you as well. The beauty you see around you, is your beauty. The world around you is a reflection, a mirror showing you the person you are. To change your world, you must change yourself. To blame and complain will only make matters worse. Whatever you care about, is your responsibility. What you see in others, shows you yourself. See the best in others, and you will be your best. Give to others, and you give to yourself. Appreciate beauty, and you will be beautiful. Admire creativity, and you will be creative. Love, and you will be loved. Seek to understand, and you will be understood. Listen, and your voice will be heard. Teach, and you will learn. Unknown author
