Let ” Living” Catch Up With You
First of all, you have to stand still. Calm your mind, and look around. Understand with your heart. Feel with love and appreciate with all your might, so that ‘Living’ will be able to catch up with you.”
Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 7
天長地久。天地所以能長且久者，以其不自生，故能長生。 是以聖人後其身而身先；外其身而身存。非以其無私耶？故能成其私。 The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that …
Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 43
天下之至柔，馳騁天下之至堅。 無有入無間，吾是以知無為之有益。 不言之教，無為之益，天下希及之。 The gentlest thing in the world overcomes the hardest thing in the world. That which has no substance enters where there is no space. This shows the value of non-action. (From a translation by S. Mitchell) Teaching without words and work without doing Are understood by very few. (Translated by Gia-Fu Feng …

Tao Te Ching – Lao Tzu – Chapter 64
其安易持，其未兆易謀。 其脆易泮，其微易散。 為之於未有，治之於未亂。 合抱之木，生於毫末；九層之臺，起於累土；千里之行，始於足下。 為者敗之，執者失之。 是以聖人無為故無敗；無執故無失。民之從事，常於幾成而敗之。 慎終如始，則無敗事，是以聖人欲不欲，不貴難得之貨；學不學，復衆人之所過，以輔萬物之自然，而不敢為。 Peace is easily maintained; Trouble is easily overcome before it starts. The brittle is easily shattered; The small is easily scattered. Deal with it before it happens. Set things in order before there is confusion. A tree as great as a man’s embrace springs up from a small …

Looking around, heaven and earth were filled with fresh air, green grass buds, flying birds, and flowing rivers… He …
Miracles through Prayer(2)
I believe that indeed, miracles can happen through prayer. Sometimes when we, as human beings, feel the most powerless and helpless, we can only pray. In our humble experience, prayer can spark the flame that ignites the powerful force of miracle into our lives in the most desperate of times.
我的确相信，奇迹可以借着祈祷发生。有时，当我们感觉最无力和无奈时，我们只能祈祷。在我的卑微的经验中，我相信祈祷可以激发及点燃出奇迹的强大力量进入我们的生活中。

Henry Kissinger, the legendary statesman who helped shape modern geopolitics, has died at age 100. He seems to have been as surprised as anybody that he made it that far. In his last TV interview, with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner, the two touched briefly on the point. “How did …
Choice
Sometimes what determines our lives is not our abilities, but our choices. A favorite passage: Why can a compass draw a circle? Because the foot is moving, the heart is unchanged. Why can’t you realize your dream? Because your heart is not fixed, your feet don’t move. A life without a plan is called a …
