another buddha’s b. day.

exactly 1 yr this blog is launched.

never have imagined such perfect timing and soooo much to record/ write about since 2nd half of 2019 till now

the world has certainly changed a lot, so r many of us. routine, mindset, some more significant moves / shifts…greater awareness…

i came across the concept of “sleep affirmation” recently.

one of those statement that strike me quite hard is something like ” i successfully conditioned my subconscious”

very interesting indeed!

what if we r all divine creators with minds deeply conditioned by fear, anxiety, lack, the need to struggle…

whereas the truth might be we can create heaven with simply our thoughts?

what if there is actually enough abundance for all that we don’t need to compete, hoard, fight….?

what if “knowledge” actually do more harm than good to us?

that we don’t need/ should not be rewarded at all with what we do / look?

that our skills, abilities, appearance, possessions, knowledge… do not matter that much?

instead, we should / can be rewarded by simply our presence / connecting with the source?

somehow, something is helping / a minority got enough awareness/ consciousness about their true essence / power to de-condition the mind

may we all be more aware of and less attach to our ego / form identity, and focus more on our true essence / divine power

then we certainly will see more miracles and a new world unfold fast

Blessings be to all

with more people taking no pay leave and schools still closed, a seaside promenade is now full of people even during weekday p.m. . families with kids, joggers, bikers, people fishing…

yet when it rains, the whole place is very different.

one can almost have it all to run / sit

i was blessed with light rain this p.m .thus able to enjoy exercising a while along the promenade and at the pier overlooking the sea, no more smokers, people fishing, though still a few people yelling…

the tranquility and space belong to those who dare / persist / well prepared / don’t mind…

thanks for some water proof clothing i was able to enjoy quiet moments of moving and sitting / eating / chanting… very much alone, outdoor, feeling light rain falling on the face like showering of abundance…

i always enjoy listening to rain. and it is a very healing / soothing experience walking quietly alone in open areas when it rains. .. esp. with trees, birds.. around.

may we all find joy and peace regardless of externals.

great training indeed for full acceptance of what is and, how we can still create wonderful moments.

a few activities i observed recently done by many, probably not very consciously, yet i would not recommend / support

fishing : heart breaking to see parents taking very small kids to fish at pier while there are many other choices of other activities. certainly inflict unnecessary pain to the fishes and baits, besides ego inflating / pleasing, seem not much benefits. if the purpose is mainly to quiet down the mind by spending time near the sea, simple sitting / even picnic is good enough. there is really no need for this very brutal “game”.

kicking a ball with feet / hitting a ball to a wall with racket

i have seen kid and adult doing this as if the ball is their enemy. consciously / subconsciously releasing this very negative energies to the ball / the surface that the ball rebounds. those people probably enjoy the loud noise it makes while the ball is hit / kicked and when it bounced back. yet to a sensitive observer, poor ball, receiving all anger. they have feelings too, only most cannot sense. again, may we all have greater consciousness so that we don’t inflict unnecessary pain on another life form + object . for they share the same One Consciousness as we r.

2 seated bike :

at first sight , seems rather creative. 1 bike, front and back seat. so the one sitting behind only ride / power, only the front rider steer.

most of the time it is a male who sit in front, be in dad + daughter / a couple.

i am always against this as the one at the back will never learn how to ride and always dependent. kind of give up power / freedom that biking offers. and seem very unfair as the back sit rider only contribute power but has no say where to go. strongly not recommended unless by a very conscious choice. (sure there r people who r very willingly take up that position)

there r really many physical activities we can do to enhance our overall health without harming / limiting others / creating too much nuisances…

yoga, dance, jog, swim, tai chi….

personally also not support competitive sports.

in the new world, everyone is healthy, loving, .. there is no need to prove who is better. each has his / her own talents . no need to compare.

the new standard of “success” is how happily we live each moment.

it is this ability to live joyfully regardless of externals that is most needed esp. during turbulent times.

may we all master that asap.

when 15 democratic activists arrested same day, including veteran legal professions who r over 70, 80 spending their whole lives guarding the judiciary system + important legal amendment / interpretation by gov’t via only announcements, something significant is certainly happening.

it is stunning to see how unbelievable things have unfolded / surfaced so rapidly in less than 1 yr. the century old well established system / values / principals seem to fall away over night.

yet the higher purpose behind probably is to expose how fragile the “rule of law” can be when those in power use it as a tool to crack down opposition / stay in power, and cannot be removed from office via fair and true universal suffrage.

it is not the tool / the law / the rules that have to be perfected, but the hearts of the leaders.

if they have interests of others in hearts, a sense of unity, higher consciousness, win win win…., no law is even required.

may this deep and profound cleansing purge everything that refused to grow, catalyze all those who r ready to change, and empower the forerunners to anchor greater light to create a new world rapidly properly.

some kids talk a lot / loud to get parents attention.

this might continue to adulthood so that people r seen very talkative / speak loudly at public places.

not many r able to remain / enjoy silence. those who do, normally prefer to be alone. they enjoy so much connecting with themselves/ nature yet often misinterpreted as being sad/ lonely having no company

in the rare case when one of these “loner” / calm silent people meet each other, there will be instant recognition / appreciation, and a sharing of each other’s joy, ease, peace, lightness…

recently i have the chance to witness quite a striking moment when, through a group of yelling kids, an elderly lady jogged silently (probably happily also) at ease accompanied by likely her helper.

many heads turned.

may we all be freed from the need for attention, knowing that the greatest joy comes from within, everything external is secondary and ultimately will not last / make us happy …

then this world will not only become a much serene place, but a more joyful and peaceful one.

Blessings be to all

with most human staying at home, all kinds of animals finally enjoy more space and greater freedom.

sea turtles returned, deers played happily at beach, sea lions get to the ground, peacocks, elephants, goat, and other kinds of rarely seen wild lives strolled on streets, bears fighting on roads, geese wandering at airport….

even penguins / ducks kept in aquariums can enjoy a walk outside their normal home to meet other animals under the same roof.

with much less business activities, waters at Venice much clearer, pollution down at many cities, the Himalayas can been seen 200km away… mother earth has finally regained some balance and happy at least for a while…

even among human, there seem to be a greater sense of fairness / equality.

regardless of rich / poor, education, social status, … everyone is subject to the risks of infected by virus. and with limited supply of some grocery items e.g. tissue paper / masks.. each person can only buy the same no. ..

may this challenge teach us all to be more humble, loving, caring so that we co-exist in harmony with fellow human, other live forms and nature and to always remember that we r only 1 of the many many species on mother earth.

the word will certainly be a much better place when more of us drop our big egos.

many might have similar experiences. yet personally the last few yrs saw the message loud and clear with frequent and intense occurrences

major instances like daughter not able to stay NY after she graduated last year due to visa issue, not taking an offered job on cruise due to various reasons.. turned out to be a great blessing in disguise (as those r hardest hit places of the coronavirus)

very sudden death of my dad in 2017, again, perfect timing .could not have imagined how everything can be handled under current circumstances.

sale of our flat at a not very ideal price. now we see renovation work of external wall ongoing but halted and not have a target finishing date again due to the virus. much better be out of it early

sudden work deployment of my husband to a mainland city we have not even been to. an ordeal at the beginning turned out to be quite a pleasant experience in about 3 yrs

people who walked away from me / activities that used to be so important / places that i always visited, turned out not that indispensable. in fact feel much lighter and free when i detach from them.

people who r rude to us / hit us hard, often lead to our greater consciousness / teach us valuable lessons….

on the contrary, when we do get what we want, things might not be as good as we expected.

a flat we desired, we moved out after 1 yr due to water leakage

another big flat we desired, turned out to be surrounded by very inconsiderate neighbours who make loud noise almost daily till 3 -4 a.m.

even as simple as a dish of delicious / good looking foods, might cause sickness to our physical body after ingestion

…..

so that probably is a very important lesson we all need to learn in a life time :

let go / be aware of / lessen the judgement of good / bad for everything.

for, as a very wise ancient chinese saying goes, “good” and “bad” paves the way for each other

so, don’t be overjoyed when we get what we want , and do not be despair when our desire not fulfilled/ things do not turn out as we preferred / expected. for it is very often after some time, even yrs , that we realised the blessings in disguise and be really grateful for what happened.

certainly not easy when we r in the process, such as now, when fear and anxiety filled most part of the world and many r locked down. looking back later, we may all agree that it is kind of necessary evil for a big transformation.

in this Easter 2020, (as far as i remember, the first and hopefully the last yr where malls have no easter bunnys displayed), may we all learnt valuable lessons and rise from ash, for “it is in dying and that we r born to eternal life”

2 days into the aquarius age and after days of rain, finally some sunny periods.

another blessed visit to my beloved campus. this time, a great return of all life forms :birds, fishes, flowers, leaves, and, human! hahaaha

very glad to see much restoration work finished, and more people have returned : students, families, ..

new leaves and blossoming flowers seen again on tree branches that were bare last time; hungry sparrows came fast and close to ask for foods; more fishes in ponds, many bright colors…

i shared bread sticks with a little girl who were watching fishes with her mom when i arrived. and enjoyed feeding fishes together 🙂

uphill, families with small kids running around, blowing soap bubbles, some with grand parents as well, others practise skateboarding / squash…

a feeling that things have finally started to flourish though it seems we still have no idea when the virus might fade.

i had another chance to revisit a book on tao that i bought 7 yrs ago. still very relevant.

it is particularly important to “watch our hearts” esp. during turbulent and challenging times.

may we all have the ability to stay at the centre of the storm amid a swirling world. with much calm and presence / consciousness, we can all handle the challenge with grace and emerge stronger, wiser.

blessings be to all

when fear override sanity, nasty things can happen

locking down the whole city, restricting movement to people totally across the globe

putting those infected under horrible conditions, evening killing them

trapping people at home, restrict movement, mandatory wearing of masks…

not to say these measures r not effective nor necessary, but the extent / degree to which they apply worth lots of re consideration.

a big correction is bound to happen when, only 2 months ago, we live in a world where

material possession is highly valued to many, even the only life goal / identification;

appearance is much more valued than well being : all levels, physical, mental , emotional…

going shopping malls a much more popular activities than exercising / going outdoor / spend time in nature.

most people spend much time of their lives “socializing” / gossiping., judging, complaining others instead of turning inward towards themselves…

it is a time for BIG SHIFT.

where people should start to take responsibility about the well being of themselves instead of outsourcing it to medical doctors.

virus do mutate. even if there is vaccine , no guarantee it will work forever, not to mention unknown side effects.

putting on masks, might do more harm than good, and certainly diminish the feel good factor which in turn greatly lower our immune system, not to mention it will trap bacteria if not use properly, and increase frequency of our hands touch the face / not effective at all if not wearing a right mask / wearing it properly

body temp. : certainly not a very reliable indicator of whether the person carries virus. the side effects of excessive measuring, thus injecting infra red to the body yet to be revealed.

yet with nothing else to rely on, govt push all these to extreme

creating unnecessary suffering to all people

shutting down outdoor space particularly stupid.

it is exactly the time when fresh air, sunlight, space,… nature… , the best natural cure, is much needed,

fear breeds isolation. mistrust amongst people

more chaos has been created by fear than the virus alone

countries who have already respected personal space / where people remain generally sane, calm, .. r handling the challenge well.

again, this is a much needed purification / opportunity for awakening.

those who r willing to upgrade themselves will certainly stay, while others, purged.

we look forward to a much advanced new world where everyone is loving, wise, responsible, considerate, calm, and most of all, sane

Blessings be to all
