无常。死亡。

Michael Jackson过世了。
有何感想呢?
-----------------

今早,同事告诉我:
“你知道吗?早上六点多,那位物理老师已经过世了。。。”

这怎么可能?
昨天,还看到她到处走来走去的,而且还不用拐杖呢!
去年,她才刚动完心脏手术,已经平安无事了阿。
最初的时候,她还需要用拐杖慢慢的一步一步的走。
现在的她可算是健步如飞了呢!

就在最预想不到的时候,
她就坐在沙发上静悄悄的离开人世了。。。

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

我们都去看她最后一面。
在朋友及同事们的帮忙下,她安然的躺着。
她的朋友兼上师,虽然很伤心,但也很坚强的帮她安排后事。
而我,静静的闭上眼睛:
“愿你安乐。愿你好好的走。
你的家人,朋友们会好好的照顾自己的。
放心,安心的走吧。。。愿你回到上苍的身边”

这是我第二次,到穆斯林朋友的丧礼。

直到了下午,我才知道Michael Jackson过世了。。。
--------------------

昨晚,法师告诉我们:
不要哭,要以平静的心情,祝福过世的人安心的,快乐的离开。。。
要想想过世的人觉得最舒适的丧礼的心情。

我还以为事不关己,怎么知道还不到二十四小时,
我就身在同事的丧礼了。。。

没有感叹,只有平静,只有真诚的祝福。。。
--------------------
觉得惋惜的是,我原本有机会在她过世前一天,跟她笑一笑的。。。
但她没有察觉到我,我也没有再主动地向她打招呼。。。
--------------------

愿你,走好了。。。

17 Again

It's been sometime that I haven't watch any movie because non of them really can attract me.

However, today a group of friends suggested to watch "17 again".
So, ok lah! Once in a blue moon.

He told us by watching this movie, aunties will become 17 again!
Hahahaha!

I was thinking, 'If I'm 17 again, what would I like to change?'

Answer:
'Getting off all those extra fats which makes me low self-esteem!'
'Maybe I'll have more admirer if I were slim.'
'I could have joined more activities without being getting tired so easily and eventually gave up!'

But wait a minute,
if I were to change my past,
would I be what I am today?
A much happier person, getting more contented with life,
know my life's direction clearly, much more confident and determined, met and have great and good friends......

Answer:
'I'm not sure!'

But for sure,
I'm really happy with what I am and what I have now!

Question: What will you do if you were 17 again?
My Answer: I will not change anything as it was for that the past was the one that had prepared me for what I am today!
-------------
After watching the movie '17 again',
I'm very happy that I did watch it because it's funny and very touching as well although there were no special visual effects!

And by thinking about the question and answer, I knew that I'm a much grateful person today than before!

珍贵

有个毕业了的学生回来了,打电话问我在哪里。
这么巧,我就正在教书着,无法马上与他见面!
要等上一个小时,才可以回去办公室呢!

过了半小时,他传了个简讯给我,告诉我他得先走了。
见不到他,无法跟他聊上几句,我好失落哦!
--------------------------------

隔天,我突然间又想起他了。
感觉也还是好失落。。。

这时,我突然想起了书中的一段:

"not seeing those that are dear and seeing those that are not dear,
are both painful."

"Hence hold nothing dear,
for separation from those that are dear is painful;
bonds do not exist for those to whom nothing is dear or not dear."

From Dhammapada verse 210 and 211
----------------------------

因为我很疼这学生,又很能聊得来,
所以我失落了。。。
