Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 15
古之善為士者，微妙玄通，深不可識。 夫唯不可識，故強為之容。 豫兮若冬涉川；猶兮若畏四鄰；儼兮其若客；渙兮若冰之將釋；敦兮其若樸；曠兮其若谷；混兮其若濁；孰能濁以靜之徐清？ 孰能安以久動之徐生？保此道者，不欲盈。夫唯不盈，故能蔽不新成。 The wise ones of old had subtle wisdom and depth of understanding, So profound that they could not be understood. And because they could not be understood, So must they be thus described: Cautious, like when one crosses an icy stream, Vigilant, like one fearing danger all around, Serious, like one …
A Good Deed is Not Hard to Do
As an Asian, I know that we have a habit of giving cash as a wedding or birthday gift. I am no exception. I prefer to give some money because I do not have time to buy a gift from a shop. I also know that whatever presents I pick may not necessarily be what …
Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 34
大道汎兮，其可左右。 萬物恃之而生而不辭，功成不名有。 衣養萬物而不為主，常無欲，可名於小； 萬物歸焉，而不為主，可名為大。 以其終不自為大，故能成其大。 The great Tao flows everywhere, both to the left and to the right. All things depend upon it; it holds nothing back. It fulfills its purpose and makes no claim. It nourishes all things, And yet does not dominate them. It has no desire; you can name it small. All …

I would like to thank the unknown author who wrote this and give special thank to the Photographer Michel Denis-Huot who took these amazing pictures. JUNGLE LAW SAYS, DON’T EAT …
Life Lesson From Bonsai
If you would like to have background music while you are reading, please click on the arrow below. “Look, life and death!” Said the friend. I see a thin trunk attached to what looks like, a dead piece of wood. Then one of the workers tells us that the dead wood is more than 750 …
Broaden Your Horizons
If you don’t have height, all you see is problems. If you don’t broaden your horizons, all you see is trifles. If you are an ant mentality, then small stones are obstacles. If you are an eagle mentality, then the high mountain will dare to try! People with high altitude are not free from difficulties. …

A Mountain is Just a Mountain
In the end, you realize that everything is the Tao, and that you and things are not divided, that the material and Tao are one, being and nonbeing are one. Thus, whoever attains Tao, will last forever.
最终开悟后，参悟到事物的表象与本体为一，身心为一，无私无欲，无我即道，所以，见山只是山，见水只是水。最终觉悟到万物皆是道，物我不分，物道为一，有无为一，才是得道之人，才可以天长地久。
Don’t Take Hasty Actions
Isn’t it ironic that it has never crossed our minds that it is ourselves who created our “bad luck” when hope and light have always proven to be on our side?
当希望和光明总是站在我们这一边的时候，是我们自己创造了我们的“坏运气”，这难道不讽刺吗?
One Day Man Will Have To Do Something For The Animals
