Suffering and Good things

Think about the things that make you suffer most.
Think how you contribute to the suffering in your mind....

---------------------

The next day....
Think of the good things that you have done...
Rejoice in it...

--------------------
Finding suffering was easy...
The memory can come back so fast...

Finding good things were quite difficult...
I was wondering what were the good things that I've done...

Seems like finding faults are easier than looking at the good qualities
even within myself...

I truly have to kind to myself too ...

What a reflection!

有报应的

她不知道要在我生日时送些什么，我也不知道要送她什么生日礼物。

她送了我一封手写的信，我也送了她一封手写的信。

因为我们都知道物质都无法带给彼此任何惊喜了。。。

只是，我还加送了一本小册子给她---我四年前结缘的女儿。

还特地在我要她注意到的那一页，加上了自制的菩提叶书签， 哈哈！

-------------------------------------

过了几个月，

当我知道她会这样劝她的朋友时，

“but sometimes words have power to both heal and destroy"

（摘自小册子的其中一句）

我真的好惊喜，好开心，好开心哦！

她告诉我，她真的用心读那本小册子（还翻查字典），

而且还用心去体会，去实行呢！

想不到，这么快就有“报应“了！

哈哈哈！

这可是我这几个月来最开心的其中一件事！

Know

The more I know, the more I don't know.

---------------

You are xx years old liao!

Yeah, I am. Life starts at xx years old.

I've never really knew what I was doing before xx years old.

Now, I know that I don't know what's going to happen in the future.

However, I know what I am doing now better than years ago.

Finally

I've started my savings from Monday, November 19, 2007
The story goes like this 一天三角钱

Today, I've finally filled up the boxes with coins of total about RM156 each!

Yeah! Woo Hoo!

I didn't actually wait to fill the boxes full with coins to give to charity organization.

Sometimes, when there was news on disaster and donation was needed,

I'll donate whatever amount that was in one of the boxes.

I kept one of the box untounch because I wanted to know how much money I can save up in a box.

From 2007 till now, sometimes, I'm concious/mindful that I wanted to keep those small change for the purpose of giving.

(Reading the thoughts of what I had in the past in the previous blog reminds me that I've forgotten some of the details!)

Sometimes, it just becoming a habit or just to achieve the target (to fill up the box).

So how many right thoughts/mindful deeds have I had?

I don't know...but I knew I did my best!

For this box, I've plan to buy or order booklet/bookmark with some sayings

and give to my students and friends!

It is because the gift of Dhamma (teaching of Buddha) excels all gifts!

Hopefully that it'll be useful to them!

又是新的一年

在2009年最后一天，大家都在发愿，

也期许2010年会更好，更快乐。

然而，2010年的头九天过去了，

开始付出了吗？

正在实现计划的道路上了吗？

有变得更好，变得更快乐吗？

----------------------

答：哈哈。。。当然还没有 啦！！！

只不过就延续着去年的计划啦，行动啦。。。

去年发什么愿都忘了呢。。。嘻嘻！

人之常情嘛。。。

没变坏，就是好啦。

至于快乐嘛。。。一时一时咯。。。

但前天就庆幸自己有耐心的等下去，要不然就真的走宝了！

下课后，还有半小时才会到讲座会的时间。。。

想想要不然回家休息，做功课好了。。。

挣扎着。。。

既然早就有这意念要出席这场讲座会，就出席吧！

--------------

又是一场令我察觉不到时间存在的讲座！

办什么活动都好，参与什么活动都好，都应持着：

信愿，慈悲，智慧。

每次参与/办活动/事情，我有时候会忘了原来的目的。

受了他人的影响，就变得不快乐了。

忘了我最根本的用意不是和别人比较。。。不是为了自己的面子，成就。。。

而是把欢乐带给他人，助他人成长。。。

因为怕被比较下去，要达到他人的要求，

对他人，对自己也忘了包容，宽容，赞许。。。

过程，成果都重要。

但忘了原本是持着要学习，要进步的心态去办事。。。

结果，得不到想要的成果，就觉得很失望，就想放弃了。。。逃避

--------------

听完了以后，我重新检讨我的

信愿，慈悲，智慧。

我要重新开始检讨我自己的定位，目标。

我要大家一起都欢乐。

我要从中学习我的缺点，要改进，

再次出发！！！

之前的忧虑，不开心，压力。。。都逐一慢慢的放下了。
