Best Way to Help Children

The best way to help children develop a positive outlook

is not to demand that they accomplish this or that,

but to reassure them that they can succeed.

母难日之《今生今世》

某日,同事提起她为小女儿庆祝生日,还准备了一些游戏等等。 大儿子说他以前生日时,妈妈
都没有为他准备游戏,言意之下是妈妈有偏心之嫌。我想起了余光中的《母难日》,同事说她没听过这首诗。


余光中 母难日三题之一 

《今生今世》

我最忘情的哭声有两次
一次,在我生命的开始
一次,在你生命的告终
第一次,我不会记得,是听你说的
第二次,你不会晓得,我说也没用
但两次哭声的中间啊
有无穷无尽的笑声
一遍一遍又一遍
回荡了整整三十年
你都晓得,我都记得

Happiness Has Already Born There

Pic from:http://blog.wfmu.org/.shared/image.html?/photos/uncategorized/agnes_chan.jpg

80后的你可能没听过陈美龄的歌曲吧。送给你这首我非常喜欢的日本歌曲"Happiness Has Already Born There",可惜我没办法把在you tube的歌曲挂上来,不过你可以到这个网站听一听:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUJD4Z9_YWY

作詩:山本伸一
作曲:アグネス・チャンAgnes Chan


《幸福已经在身边》
Happiness Has Already Born There

比天还要高你知道
是什么?
那就是
那就是
我伟大的生命

比海还要深
你知道 是什么?
那就是
那就是
你伟大的生命

寒冬来了不要怕
春天已经在眼前
现在让我们
一齐高声唱
春天的歌曲

黑夜来了不要怕
太阳一定升起来
请你看一看
幸福已经在
我和你的身边


这首歌的歌词是池田先生(笔名:山本伸一)替陈美龄写的。2006 她创作了这首歌曲之后,她进行了一项切除在唾液腺的肿瘤。这首是在她动了手术之后录制的。当时动了手术的她还未完全复原,但是她以生命得以转换的感受唱出这首歌生命。这说这首《幸福已经在身边》给她希望和勇气,让她积极面对人生,她要通过这首给把这信息传给大家。

中秋节快乐

祝大家

中秋节快乐


以下两张照片是我们在苏格兰时WG拍的,效果还不错呢



The journey from Kamakura to Kyoto takes twelve days.
If you travel for eleven
but stop with only one day remaining,
how can you admire
the moon over the capital?

Lesson from geese

前天到罗芙公园散步,WG忽然指着天空大叫:看!原来正好有一群大雁从我们上空飞过。我赶快按下快门,拍到这张人字形的大雁群。记得我还在教育学院念书时,我用过小学三年级的道德教育课本里一篇用大雁来教导小朋友合作精神的课文来做我的小报告。

Lesson from Geese

FACT: As each goose flaps its wings, it creates an “uplift” for those following behind. By flying in a “V” formation, the whole flock can fly 70% greater range than if each one flew alone.

LESSON: People who share a common direction and sense of community can get where they are going quicker and easier because they are travelling on the trust of one another.

FACT: When a goose falls out of formation, it suddenly feels the drag and resistance of flying alone. It quickly moves back into formation to take advantage of the lifting power of the bird flying in front.

LESSON: If you have as much sense as a goose, you stay in formation with those headed where we want to go. You are willing to accept their help and give your help to others.

FACT: When the leading goose gets tired, it rotates back into the formation, and another goose flies to replace the lead position.

LESSON: It pays to take turns doing the hard tasks and sharing leadership. As with geese, we are interdependent on each other’s skills, capabilities and unique arrangement of gifts, talents or resources.

FACT: The geese flying in formation HONK to encourage those up front to keep up their speed.

LESSON: We need to make sure our “HONKING” is encouraging. In groups where there is encouragement, the production is much greater. The power of encouragement is the quality of HONKING we seek.

FACT: When a goose gets sick or wounded, two fellow geese will drop out of formation, so as to help and protect it. They stay with the goose until it is able to fly again. Then, they launch out another formation or catch up with the flock.

LESSON: If WE have as much sense as geese, we will stand by each other in difficult times as well as when we are strong.

The Spirit to Challenge


It's important to keep on challenging
and making resolute efforts towards our goals
without ever giving in!
Making such efforts and having such a challenging spirit
is the way to open up the road to kosen rufu and
at the same time to expand our own lives.
With a strong tenacity of purpose
let us launch ourselves fearlessly
into the midstof our struggles!

Facing Challenges with Cheers!

Let's always try to challenge
any of our struggles
cheerfully and with enthusiasm!
A single wave of joy calls forth
tens of thousands of waves of victory.
Firmly united, let's enact a stirring drama
in which "the wise will rejoice".


~ Daisaku Ikeda

Key to victory


The key to victory in our lives lies in

how hard we struggle

when we are in winter,

how wisely we use that time,

and how meaningfully

we will live each day

confident that spring

will definitely come.

何谓胜利

@Pembrokeshire, Jan 09


战斗是有胜有负。

但是,能“不断战斗”本身就是胜利之人。

锻炼起“坚强的心”、“强盛的信心”、“强盛的祈求”,

就是胜利。这就是“佛界”。

To what purpose should the knowledge and ability

acquired through higher educatioto be put?

Unless they are used to cultivate the foundation of our character,

we are lamentably doomed to degenerate into

self-centered, superficial, "talented animals."

意志


Oct 08 @ Emmanuel College, Cambridge

大致上来说,人多半意志薄弱。

避重就轻是人之常情。

伟人也并非一开始就伟大。

他们是不断鞭策软弱的自己,克服惰性,

才获得人生的胜利。

不屈服

April 2008 @Bute Park, Cardiff



“坚强”才是幸福的要素。

人生绝对不可后退、屈服。

“不屈服”就是“胜利”。

直至最后也“不屈服”的人会得到胜利。

艰苦和福运

摄于Taplow Court, UK, 2003


有烦恼才有克服烦恼后的喜悦。

以信心跨越艰苦,

福运才会巩固,

人格也会受到锻炼。

Because we experience various hardships,

we can savour great joy when we overcome them.

And because we surmount them through faith,

we solidfy our good fortune and grow as human beings.

对话

昨天到学会淡宾尼总部听杜维明教授的演讲 - 《对话文明 和谐社会》。杜教授说:

为什么要对话?怎样对话?

对话,是培养听德。
对话,是拓展视野。(增加自己反思的能力)
对话,不是说服对方,不是表彰自己,

也不是利用机会改变别人对你的误解。

对话的心态应该是,容忍 - 承认–尊重–参照–学习直到庆幸差异,尤其与极端对立的人相互对话,才能体会到“没有高山,也就没有平地”, 少一样,都不好。

~ 《对话的文明》杜维明与池田大作


很多时候,我们以为自己是在跟别人对话,其实我们只是顾着想把自己的话讲清楚,而没意识到自己没有倾听别人的心声,那根本就不是对话,而是独白。

从容与余裕


上个星期五在柔佛古来,傍晚七点半左右,偶然间抬头往窗外望去,看到这一幅夕阳西下,满天云霞的景色,连忙用有摄像功能的手机捕捉这美丽的一刻。

现代人的生活都非常忙碌,有时会觉得忙得喘不过气,因此无暇去欣赏周边许多美丽的事物。正如池田夫人香峰子所说:“无论在任何情况,决不能失去内心的那份从容与余裕”“忙” 字是竖心旁加上个亡字,但我们要提醒自己不要因为忙碌的生活,而变得心亡;也不要因忙变盲,要不然就看不到周边美丽的事物了。
