Justice vs. law

in an utopia, no laws should be required. each person is so loving, considerate, honest and care about others that there will be no fraud, killing, disputes…. as they all have a great sense of “we”, instead of “me” vs..
“you”.

before all humans come to that stage, we need laws to protect innocent people from being hurt by those less conscious.

so when laws become a weapon to persecute innocent people instead of to protect them, they r not really laws at all, for they have failed to serve their basic function : uphold justice

on the other hand, when laws are broken based on the motive to uphold justice, it somehow becomes more tolerable.

very glad to see so many HK people are conscious enough not to blame youngsters who broke into legco building on 7.1 even though no one would like to see such damage.

many brave, outspoken conscientious adults see the passion, innocence, unity, persistence, strength… of these young people. instead of blaming them, many thank them, appreciate what they have done despite many do not agree with the aggressive approach. some older generations even feel guilty about not doing a better job earlier years (e.g. to vote).

it is exactly this loving kindness, flexibility, compassion, .. of HKers that make us so embracing, unite, strong…

HKers Add Oil!

we can create history. certainly backed by 1.4B + many more.

Blessings be to All

right to protest

who would like to stay outdoor and walk hours on the street on a hot summer day?

who would not prefer to go swimming / travelling / have a cup of iced tea in air conditioned areas during summer holidays?

the sheer fact that so many took part in mass protest in weeks, regardless of 1M, 2M, 550K… is solid evidence that something has gone very wrong / out of track here in Hong Kong.

some argued, HKers were not given the right to protest before the handover, this exactly shows they r now enjoying the right!

haahahahahahah!

how ridiculous!

who would like to have this right to protest if nothing can be changed even though 1/3 of the population took to the street??

and who would care whether we have the right if the government has the well-being of its people in its heart, and do all it can to serve its citizens well?

HK was a mircle. a place that has enjoyed so much freedom even though there was no democracy.

an independent and fair judiciary system being the foundation.

i was very moved to see how many legal professionals stood up this time to object the proposed extradition bill.

thanks to these outspoken and conscientious people we layman have a better understanding of the seriousness of this “evil bill”, so that we can all stepped up to defend ourselves.

it was very moving to see over a thousand of these “elite” walked silently for hours under the sun to show their objection much earlier before the 1M protest.

no kindness / acts for justice will go unnoticed, big or small, nor will they have no impact on the whole.

HKer Add Oil!

on this 7.4, God Bless America, HK, China, UK, Canada…all other countries, Mother Earth….

Blessings be to All

7.1.2019

my daughter and i arrived central by ferry around 630 p.m.

we walked east towards wanchai to catch a bus home. here is a brief account of what we encountered / experienced in about 2 hours.

another sea of mostly people in black, some in white, walking peacefully, steadily, persistently voicing the same demand after the historical 1M people protest on 6.9 , and 2M+ 1 the following sunday, 6.16.

many parents bring along their children, even toddlers, pets…

elderly as well

while there are groups that chant slogon loudly, many simply walk silently.

when we arrived the bridge linking pacific place and admiralty station, many people already there, taking photos of the sea of people, some turned on torch light of phone waving to the crowd.

very soon many joined, parents turned on the light and let their child wave, people below who were walking responded by either waving hands / their phones with light on.

it was a very moving scene. while there were many people around, many simply stood quietly and waved their light for quite a long time without a word. such a simple silent act echoed by many. support from the heart beyond words.

when we got into the mall, there were long lines of people waiting or toilets, yet it was very orderly. everyone hot and exhausted yet still in very good spirits.

then we came to a church, that very impressively opened overnight! to welcome the public for a rest / visit toilet… even water and phone charging provided free. volunteers direct people to various places according to their needs. it was very well manned. each volunteer worked wholeheartedly and enthusiastically at his role regardless of how monotonous it might be : operating the lift, drying the toilet, or simply asking people to refill water…

my heartfelt salutation to all these wonderful and brave human beings who really walk Jesus’s talk. to love beyond all races, beliefs, .. in short beyond our form identities.

may you all be continually blessed with whatever u need to keep the bright light shining.

God Bless HK, all countries, mother Earth!

Help all caged animals Pls!

every time my daughter and i saw animals being kept in cages our hearts hurt a lot.

they either look very hopeless / deadened; or still try hard to escape.

the worst being these animals are kept in very small cages and are visited by very few people, making their sacrifice of freedom even less worthwhile.

the look of that hornbill stayed with me for a long time. it turned its head parallel to the floor to look up directly at the sky / sun, unmoved, seemingly a silent protest against lost of freedom / a desperate call for being freed… its colour fades, its partner hiding in shades, did not even want to come out..

even if there is a need to keep animals in captivity, at least we should provide them with better environments.

walk in aviary might be a better choice . at least various types of birds can co-exist in a much bigger space with greater and closer human contacts.

to single out one / a few species and keep them in a small cage is almost criminal. animals have their basic right to be free, too. they certainly deserve much better treatment while “imprisoned” .

may all be freed, may humans have greater consciousness and respect for all other creatures, so that we can co-exist joyfully, peacefully…

Blessings be to all!

“good” and “bad”

when Carrie Lam became the chief executive of Hong Kong, people mostly welcome. esp. we, female;

contrary, when Trump got elected, we thought disaster coming.

we now all know what happened

despite Trump has done many drastic / unreasonable acts, he seems to be the one to crack down an equally crazy or even more so regime.

police are suppose to maintain order, protect citizens… now the world see what can happen…

protesters are normally considered aggressive, agitated, not calm, un wise,… until the world saw the 2 million peaceful march…

that’s why it’s better not to label / judge / classify. … all of which depends much on the past.

to see the positive under all circumstances and have faith that all happens for a higher purpose will certainly help creates a better world.

all is well. and will only be better

true warriors

very often are not those heavily armed soldiers but those being persecuted for political, religious or no reasons at all and being tortured in concentration camps …. or under daily threats….

u don’t have a voice, but suffered consciously, accepting it all, try hard to survive. some courageous and wise enough to let the world know what is happening in hell, others managed to run away and bravely testify….

to those who did not make it, Akal Akal Akal

may you all rest in peace, and know that what u have suffered will not go wasted. you have sacrificed your lives to reveal the unbelievable, so that the world can all stand up to stop those very unconscious acts.

to those who bravely involved in revealing the truth, my wholehearted salutation to you!

to those who are still suffering, hang on, for dawn is close

u r the true warriors, without a name, a face, the glory…, but will always be respected and remembered by all.

we owe u a lot. for u bear all the sufferings so that the mass can wake up.

may we all have faith, that light shall always prevail, it’s only a matter of time.

Blessings be to all

Incense

u burn up yourself to fill up the whole place

dissolve the form, to become a much more pervasive formless;

like a candle, that melts to light up the space, yet much more lingering…

the scent of u purifies, energizes, calms, heals…

reminds me of an ancient chinese poem :

浩蕩離愁白日斜,吟鞭東指即天涯;
落紅不是無情物,化作春泥更護花

the last 2 sentences refers to a falling flower turning into mud to better protect other flowers.

i believe this should be the same for each human beings, that we invest our precious time, energies, efforts, resources.. not only for our own well being, but for the betterment of all and next generation as well.

only then can the human race continue to thrive, and awake from much unconscious thoughts and actions.

Blessings be to all

flame

since my dad passed away about 2 years ago i have been lighting a candle at home almost every night.

it is a box of red nontoxic small round candles bought from chi lin nunnery. each with a very nicely protruding 5-petaled flower on top.

i am always intrigued by how the petals slowly melt away without overflowing, such small item with so meticulous design.

even just watching that small flame is very meditative.

isn’t it an amazing thing? with the right condition a small flame can burn down a whole building

something with such great potential can yet be so gentle and humble.

we all have this flame / seed inside us. each of us is an opportunity for the One Consciousness to blossom.

over time, more of us will awake to light up the world

I am

You are

the light of the world 🙂

Namaskar Too Too

it was winter when a pink fluffy rabbit (not real! hahaah) found its way to us. it came as a free gift when my husband bought an electronic warm pad.

very soon it became my best buddy and accompanied me through many cold and lonely nights and days.

only recently did i realise a deeper role it plays : kind of like my inner child manifested as something very cuddly, loving, cute…

a few years ago a psychic reader told me that i need to mother myself to heal my very deep wounds. i suddenly realised this is truly a wonderful gift from the universe to remind me that i need to pamper myself all the time.

this may be true for many others as well. just “incidentally” watched a program about a restaurant owner who makes very cute kids meal. she said surprisingly many adults appreciate that, too!

we all carry a pain body, big or small. healing will be much more effective if we choose to heal our own wounds, instead of looking outside and rely on someone else.

after all, we are the love we seek. by connecting with that deeper dimension we can always find the joy and peace we so sought after.

Blessings be to all

bittersweet

when we were small, most of us like sweet things : candies, ice cream, soft drinks…

while we may still like those things when we get older, most of us start to appreciate more bitter substances like dark chocolates, coffee, bitter gourds…

i was told when i was small that when one starts to appreciate bitter gourd, one is getting old! hahaahah

true for myself though!

i believe that has to do with our ability to embrace more as we experienced all the “goods” and “bads”. somehow we managed to incorporate / even transform the “not so good” into something that made us feel good, or at least tolerable.

or we have developed the ability to appreciate the bitterness by sensing the sweetness / truth behind.

as Eckhart said, suffering is needed until we realised that it is not needed.

when we have learn to accept all challenges and not fuel it with unnecessary thoughts which produce sufferings, life becomes much lighter / easier, like the the way we appreciate dark chocolates / coffee 🙂

may we be grateful for all challenges, for they all represent opportunities for awakening / greater consciousness.

have faith that all is well. and will only be better
