Lessons from Ta Yue
It’s been 3 days since Ta Yue’s passing, it seems like a lifetime without his presence. I started to reflect about time with him: he doesn’t have a lot of toys, he simply carried his toy wherever he goes, he doesn’t need much to be happy. Zhui Feng likes to somersault like a gymnist, Ta…

Earth Day
It’s Earth Day today. I feel like I need to celebrate, but can’t think of how. Then I realized being here on earth is the celebration. Like goslings waddling behind Mama Goose; like Papa Goose protecting the family; like trees thriving wherever rooted; flowers blossoming wherever seeded. When earth exhales, everything is awake, vibrant, wild…

Ta Yue, (Moon Rider) is gone, riding his way to the moon now. My four legged friend, wearing his silky tuxedo outfit. When I was holding his paws this morning, he suddenly woke up, and started cookie dough on me, like when he was little, maybe he remembered his younger age. That was his farewell…

Be Like Water
In my morning meditation, the image of an old photograph I took showed up in my mind: the water reflects the Great Egret, but doesn’t retain the image. That’s how it allows everything to happen, but as if nothing happened. Be like water…

Spring Rain
Waking up to a light rain, it made me lighthearted right away: spring rain! It’s a soft sprinkling, nurturing all the plants and creatures on earth. During my morning meditation, I am so naturally feeling immersed into the zone, as if the rain is drizzling on me and through me, like a caressing by nature.…

曼陀罗
四月的原野,春已落脚。各种绿错落有致,层次分明,勾勒出春的轮廓。风已从容,阳光下茂盛的草让人感到大地深处的生命力,蓬勃而出。 曼陀罗静静地开在湖畔山间,像春的守候者。以前听说过曼陀罗这个名字,没想到离我这么近;就像美好, 其实一直都在。
