正所謂, 屎字頭上一把刀!

What happen to myself today???? >_<

我今日竟然踩屎2次. 朝早排隊等巴士時俾雀屎dit落黎, 抬頭睇, 仲見到隻燕子個pat pat郁郁下, 好似想話俾我知佢去得好舒服........夜晚去跑步時黑ma ma又唔知晌邊度踩到狗屎~~~~

可能係我尋日買化妝品抽中所謂嘅大獎, 所以今日有報應~~~~~

修行,从心开始!

The below story may inspire your mindset and soul.

========================
有一天,佛印襌师和苏东坡在佛堂打坐。苏东坡问师傅“襌师,你看一看我坐在这里像什么?”
襌师说“很庄严!像一尊佛祖”。 过一会,襌师问苏东坡“学士,你看看我坐在这里像什么?”;苏东坡回复说“我看你像一堆牛粪”。襌师没有回答,只是呵呵一笑。 苏东坡以为占了上风,很开心地离开。

苏东坡以为自己占了上风,赢了襌师一回,很开心;逢人跨口说自己如何聪明,但他的妹妹听了之后嘆气说“哥哥,你输了! 人家襌师心中是佛,所以看你是佛;而你的心中是牛粪,所以你看人家是牛粪!”
========================

Sometimes, especially city people, always 爾虞我詐; although they may use some excuse to ratify their action, but quite ofter is because their 心 is 牛粪, that's why they have such attitude/action of 爾虞我詐. If you start from your heart with a 佛心, you will project a 佛心 to people, and people will in return give you back a 佛心~~

Trip to Honoi, North Vietnam (May 8-12, 2008)

It has been some years not travel with my mom. To celebrate mother's day, i traveled Honoi(North Vietnam) with my mom last weekend. We joined 信成假期 and the cost of the tour is very cheap, only HK$1699 for 5 days (not including $400 visa fee + $600 fuel charge).

This travel agent is quite good, they arranged many local meals (rather than just provide Chinese meals), and all the entrance-fee are included. I recommend you to try this travel agent!!! ^_^

"Honoi" is at North Vietnam, which is the capital of Vietnam. This is a place where have a better scenery, more communism style, people's lives are much fall-behind, more tradition you can find here. (Unlike "Ho Chi Ming City" which is at South Vietnam, more French style arhitecture, modern, good food, etc).


I had a good time there and I think I will travel to "Ho Chi Ming City" next time if I can find a cheap tour again. ^_~

Happy Mother's Day!!!

We climbed up the hill and take this beautiful picture



See my Vietnamese look~~~ ^_~


Everyday Vietnam meals, the Vietnam noodle is very good, i love it very much.

思考的盲点 -- 中国人爱面子

Kind of busy recently due to the preparation of my trip to Australia~~ Nothing special happened, so, moved another old MSN blog to here again, which was written on Oct 21, 2007.

思考的盲点 -- 中国人爱面子
Read a book recently, title "思考的盲点", written by a Hongkonger "陶国璋". This book is viewed from a mix perspective of "Psychology" & "Philosophy", and explained what usual 思考的盲点 for a person.

It has a few sentences talking about why Chinese people always talking abou "Mian Zi" comparatively to Westerners. It written:

"社会的结构越紧密,人与人之间越交往多,这种面子,门面心态越重。 因此我们留意到东方社会,如中国,日本,印度,东南亚等国家,因为人伦关系密切,以致特别重视名牌,追上潮流,以便有面子, 门面。相对而言,西方社会中,个体意识较强,门面问题就较为平淡。"

And sometimes such belief is seeded when we were young. When we were young(teenagers), we were trained to get the 认同 from your parents, pals, teachers, etc. And which we would try to project the way they like, so, when you wear the particular similar type of dress/clothes, you will be treated as "自己人" and will gained the "地位 * 认同" among the group, so, when will group older and older, your belief of this will become stronger and stonger.

This book also have some other good point of discussion, for example "权力". Sometimes, i don't quite understand why some working people like to have 权力 in their workplace as this may not give them any profit nor goodwill (while may only burden their workload). But this book has a minor part explaining this under the sub-topic of 投射式认同:

“权”是个人意志的伸延; 每当我们能控制,指使别人,即表示我们的意志擴展了开去。 男孩特别喜欢舞刀弄剑,是因为刀,剑好像延长了我们的手臂,能及于更远的事物,这就是一种意志伸延的象征。故此,权力欲强的人,是投过控制他人的意志,来认同自己的实在性,亦是一种投射的心理要求
