221 - Master Cheng Yan's article: Awakening Love Cannot Wait

In the aftermath of the Japan earthquake, Tzu Chi's volunteers in Japan as well as staff and volunteers from Taiwan have formed a relief team to personally deliver aid to those affected. At the same time, Dharma Master Cheng Yen has asked Tzu Chi volunteers worldwide to launch a fundraising campaign.

The road ahead for Japan's disaster recovery is very long; the donations will make it possible for Tzu Chi to help. While deeply grateful for every contribution, large and small, the Master says that what she cherishes most is the heart behind it. For as important as funding is, her greatest wish is that the spirit of love can be awakened in the heart of each and every person around the world.

Besides an outpouring of love in reaction to the disaster, the Master hopes this love can be a lasting spirit which will deeply inform people's perspectives and actions.

"Decades ago, someone asked me to use one phrase to describe the problem in our society. 'Lack of love,' I had replied. Indeed, love is missing from people's hearts; there is little love for our fellow human beings, for other living creatures, and for our planet. That is why, while so many are suffering poverty and deprivation, we live wastefully. Instead of respecting the lives of other living creatures, we kill them to eat—not because we need their meat to survive but simply because we like the taste.

And lack of love for our Mother Earth is the reason we do so much harm to the environment, boring through mountains to create new routes which shorten travel time often only by ten or fifteen minutes."

All of this highlights how our focus has become wholly centered on our own wants and desires. Yet, have these brought us happiness? In fact, the Master points out that it is our mind of seeking and always wanting more that causes us suffering. If we can instead give out of a sense of empathy and compassion, and give with only the wish to help, seeking nothing in return, we can touch true joy and happiness. This is an inner joy like no other.

At this time, those suffering from disaster truly need our prayers, our care, and our giving. But the Master furthermore hopes that we can learn from this disaster and realize how interconnected we on this planet are. If, with this recognition, we can take care in our actions to do what contributes to the greater good instead of the opposite, the impact will be tremendous.
There is a Chinese saying, "One good deed can dispel a thousand disasters." But the Master stresses that this is not one good deed from one person alone. This 'one good deed' means one good deed from many people, innumerable people. Collectively, the impact of our good actions will be extremely powerful.

This is why at this time, the Master is earnestly calling upon everyone to spread the message of love—to inspire people not only to help the disaster-stricken, but to awaken their love, so that they can live each day with utmost sincerity and vigilance, and do good always, every day. Doing good can mean reaching out to help people in need by contributing our time or money; avoiding meat and eating vegetarian; and being environmentally-conscious in our actions, such as by not using disposables and by conserving resources. These are but a few examples. If we live in a spirit of love for others instead of being focused on our wants and desires, we will find that there is so much good we can do.

As long as we genuinely have the desire to help, and our intentions are selfless, we will discover many ways we can give. In Buddhism, giving is not limited to the giving of material wealth or goods. One can give Dharma, and also help people become liberated from fear through the gift of "non-fear".

The Master reminds everyone that so long as we have a heart of love, our giving will naturally be unlimited, the good we can do, boundless. The key lies in the heart and in carrying through with action.

"With love, we can help protect our planet. With love, we can protect the lives of other living creatures. With love, we can cherish our fellow human beings and build a society of peace and harmony. When love fills the hearts of people everywhere, our world will become a truly blessed place.

This is not unachievable, for with our love, we can inspire the love in others, creating a cycle of love. So let us work hard toward this together."

220 - Lee Kuan Yew's wisdom

Lee Kuan Yew On Getting the Best out of Life

“The human being needs a challenge, and my advice to every person in Singapore and elsewhere: Keep yourself interested, have a challenge.
If you’re not interested in the world and the world is not interested in you, the biggest punishment a man can receive is total isolation in a dungeon, black and complete withdrawal of all stimuli, that’s real torture.”

http://dinmerican.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/mmlee.jpg

MY CONCERN today is, what is it I can tell you which can add to your knowledge about aging and what aging societies can do.

You know more about this subject than I do. A lot of it is out in the media, Internet and books. So I thought the best way would be to take a personal standpoint and tell you how I approach this question of aging.

If I cast my mind back, I can see turning points in my physical and mental health. You know, when you’re young, I didn’t bother, assumed good health was God-given and would always be there.

When I was about 57 that was – I was about 34, we were competing in elections, and I was really fond of drinking beer and smoking. And after the election campaign, in Victoria Memorial Hall – we had won the election, the City Council election – I couldn’t thank the voters because I had lost my voice. I’d been smoking furiously. I’d take a packet of 10 to deceive myself, but I’d run through the packet just sitting on the stage, watching the crowd, getting the feeling, the mood before I speak.

In other words, there were three speeches a night. Three speeches a night, 30 cigarettes, a lot of beer after that, and the voice was gone. I remember I had a case in Kuching, Sarawak . So I took the flight and I felt awful. I had to make up my mind whether I was going to be an effective campaigner and a lawyer, in which case I cannot destroy my voice, and I can’t go on.

So I stopped smoking. It was a tremendous deprivation because I was addicted to it. And I used to wake up dreaming…the nightmare was I resumed smoking.

But I made a choice and said, if I continue this, I will not be able to do my job. I didn’t know anything about cancer of the throat, or oesophagus or the lungs, etc. But it turned out it had many other deleterious effects. Strangely enough after that, I became very allergic, hyper-allergic to smoking, so much so that I would plead with my Cabinet ministers not to smoke in the Cabinet room. You want to smoke, please go out, because I am allergic.

Then one day I was at the home of my colleague, Mr Rajaratnam, meeting foreign correspondents including some from the London Times and they took a picture of me and I had a big belly like that (puts his hands in front of his belly), a beer belly. I felt no, no, this will not do. So I started playing more golf, hit hundreds of balls on the practice tee. But this didn’t go down. There was only one way it could go down: consume less, burn up more.

Another turning point came in 1976, after the general election – I was feeling tired. I was breathing deeply at the Istana, on the lawns.

My daughter, who at that time just graduating as a doctor, said: ‘What are you trying to do?’ I said: ‘I feel an effort to breathe in more oxygen.’ She said: ‘Don’t play golf. Run. Aerobics..’ So she gave me a book , quite a famous book and, then, very current in America on how you score aerobic points swimming, running, whatever it is, cycling.

I looked at it sceptically. I wasn’t very keen on running. I was keen on golf. So I said, ‘Let’s try’. So in-between golf shots while playing on my own, sometimes nine holes at the Istana, I would try and walk fast between shots. Then I began to run between shots. And I felt better. After a while, I said: ‘Okay, after my golf, I run.’ And after a few years, I said: ‘Golf takes so long. The running takes 15 minutes. Let’s cut out the golf and let’s run.’

I think the most important thing in aging is you got to understand yourself. And the knowledge now is all there. When I was growing up, the knowledge wasn’t there. I had to get the knowledge from friends, from doctors.

But perhaps the most important bit of knowledge that the doctor gave me was one day, when I said: ‘Look, I’m feeling slower and sluggish.’ So he gave me a medical encyclopaedia and he turned the pages to aging. I read it up and it was illuminating. A lot of it was difficult jargon but I just skimmed through to get the gist of it.

As you grow, you reach 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and then, thereafter, you are on a gradual slope down physically. Mentally, you carry on and on and on until I don’t know what age, but mathematicians will tell you that they know their best output is when they’re in their 20s and 30s when your mental energy is powerful and you haven’t lost many neurons. That’s what they tell me.

So, as you acquire more knowledge, you then craft a programme for yourself to maximise what you have. It’s just common sense. I never planned to live till 85 or 84.! I just didn’t think about it. I said: ‘Well, my mother died when she was 74, she had a stroke.. My father died when he was 94.’

But I saw him, and he lived a long life, well, maybe it was his DNA. But more than that, he swam every day and he kept himself busy.. He was working for the Shell company. He was in charge, he was a superintendent of an oil depot.

When he retired, he started becoming a salesman. So people used to tell me: ‘Your father is selling watches at BP de Silva.’ My father was then living with me. But it kept him busy. He had that routine: He meets people, he sells watches, he buys and sells all kinds of semi-precious stones, he circulates coins. And he keeps going. But at 87, 88, he fell, going down the steps from his room to the dining room, broke his arm, three months incapacitated.

Thereafter, he couldn’t go back to swimming. Then he became wheelchair-bound. Then it became a problem because my house was constructed that way. So my brother – who’s a doctor and had a flat (one-level) house – took him in. And he lived on till 94. But towards the end, he had gradual loss of mental powers.

So my calculations, I’m somewhere between 74 and 94. And I’ve reached the halfway point now. But have I? Well, 1996 when I was 73, I was cycling and I felt tightening on the neck. Oh, I must retire today. So I stopped. Next day, I returned to the bicycle. After five minutes it became worse. So I said, no, no, this is something serious, it’s got to do with the blood vessels. Rung up my doctor, who said, ‘Come tomorrow’. Went tomorrow, he checked me, and said: ‘Come back tomorrow for an angiogram.’

I said: ‘What’s that?’ He said: ‘We’ll pump something in and we’ll see whether the coronary arteries are cleared or blocked.’ I was going to go home. But an MP who was a cardiologist happened to be around, so he came in and said: ‘What are you doing here?’ I said: ‘I’ve got this.’ He said: ‘Don’t go home. You stay here tonight. I’ve sent patients home and they never came back. Just stay here. They’ll put you on the monitor. They’ll watch your heart. And if anything, an emergency arises, they will take you straight to the theatre. You go home. You’ve got no such monitor. You may never come back.’

So I stayed there. Pumped in the dye, yes it was blocked, the left circumflex, not the critical, lead one. So that’s lucky for me. Two weeks later, I was walking around, I felt it’s coming back. Yes it has come back, it had occluded. So this time they said: ‘We’ll put in a stent.’

I’m one of the first few in Singapore to have the stent, so it was a brand new operation. Fortunately, the man who invented the stent was out here selling his stent. He was from San Jose, La Jolla something or the other. So my doctor got hold of him and he supervised the operation. He said put the stent in. My doctor did the operation, he just watched it all and then that’s that. That was before all this problem about lining the stent to make sure that it doesn’t occlude and create a disturbance.

So at each stage, I learnt something more about myself and I stored that. I said: ‘Oh, this is now a danger point.’ So all right, cut out fats, change diet, went to see a specialist in Boston , Massachusetts General Hospital . He said: ‘Take statins.’ I said: ‘What’s that?’ He said: ‘(They) help to reduce your cholesterol.’ My doctors were concerned. They said: ‘You don’t need it. Your cholesterol levels are okay.’ Two years later, more medical evidence came out. So the doctors said: ‘Take statins.’

Had there been no angioplasty, had I not known that something was up and I cycled on, I might have gone at 74 like my mother. So I missed that decline. So next deadline: my father’s fall at 87.

I’m very careful now because sometimes when I turn around too fast, I feel as if I’m going to get off balance. So my daughter, a neurologist, she took me to the NNI, there’s this nerve conduction test, put electrodes here and there.

The transmission of the messages between the feet and the brain has slowed down. So all the exercise, everything, effort put in, I’m fit, I swim, I cycle. But I can’t prevent this losing of conductivity of the nerves and this transmission. So just go slow.

So when I climb up the steps, I have no problem. When I go down the steps, I need to be sure that I’ve got something I can hang on to, just in case. So it’s a constant process of adjustment.

But I think the most important single lesson I learnt in life was that if you isolate yourself, you’re done for. The human being is a social animal – he needs stimuli, he needs to meet people, to catch up with the world.

I don’t much like travel but I travel very frequently despite the jetlag, because I get to meet people of great interest to me, who will help me in my work as chairman of our GIC. So I know, I’m on several boards of banks, international advisory boards of banks, of oil companies and so on. And I meet them and I get to understand what’s happening in the world, what has changed since I was here one month ago, one year ago.

I go to India , I go to China. And that stimuli brings me to the world of today. I’m not living in the world, when I was active, more active 20, 30 years ago. So I tell my wife. She woke up late today. I said: ‘Never mind, you come along by 12 o’clock. I go first.’

If you sit back – because part of the ending part of the encyclopaedia which I read was very depressing – as you get old, you withdraw from everything and then all you will have is your bedroom and the photographs and the furniture that you know, and that’s your world. So if you’ve got to go to hospital, the doctor advises you to bring some photographs so that you’ll know you’re not lost in a different world, that this is like your bedroom.

I’m determined that I will not, as long as I can, to be reduced, to have my horizons closed on me like that. It is the stimuli, it is the constant interaction with people across the world that keeps me aware and alive to what’s going on and what we can do to adjust to this different world.

In other words, you must have an interest in life. If you believe that at 55, you’re retiring, you’re going to read books, play golf and drink wine, then I think you’re done for. So statistically they will show you that all the people who retire and lead sedentary lives, the pensioners die off very quickly.

So we now have a social problem with medical sciences, new procedures, new drugs, many more people are going to live long lives..

If the mindset is that when I reach retirement age 62, I’m old, I can’t work anymore, I don’t have to work, I just sit back, now is the time I’ll enjoy life, I think you’re making the biggest mistake of your life. After one month, or after two months, even if you go traveling with nothing to do, with no purpose in life, you will just degrade, you’ll go to seed.

The human being needs a challenge, and my advice to every person in Singapore and elsewhere: Keep yourself interested, have a challenge. If you’re not interested in the world and the world is not interested in you, the biggest punishment a man can receive is total isolation in a dungeon, black and complete withdrawal of all stimuli, that’s real torture.

So when I read that people believe, Singaporeans say: ‘Oh, 62 I’m retiring.’ I say to them: ‘You really want to die quickly?’ If you want to see sunrise tomorrow or sunset, you must have a reason, you must have the stimuli to keep going..’

Have a purpose driven life and finish well, my friends.

219 - Love yourself first

"God asks ONLY that you include yourself among those you love."

God goes further, God suggests and recommends that you put yourself FIRST in the highest sense.

218 - 【為愛傳送】 疾病的目的及意圖 作者:許添盛醫師

【為愛傳送】
疾病的目的及意圖
作者:許添盛醫師
∕賽斯基金會董事長。賽斯身心靈診所院長。賽斯文化發行人

人生病的時候,他會進入所謂「生病角色」:生病可以免除許多本應盡的責任,可以成為不去面對問題的合理藉口,也可以藉生病的角色得到許多疼惜及關愛,甚至以病者的姿態左右別人。但是,生病角色也有許多不利的地方,比如他的自我價值可會逐漸減少;別人初期的關心可能成為最終的不耐,還有許多病痛的折磨。

生病能帶來的好處與不利,這兩個力量不斷的拉扯,形成形形色色急性和慢性病的成因。
任何疾病都是由內在心靈創造出來的,甚至先天遺傳性的疾病也不例外。現代人不明就裡,只因對心靈的了解實在太少了。在本書中,我將告訴你「身心靈健康療法15式」,到底你自己符合了幾個?將那些解決之道牢記在心,並且在生活當中付諸實現,那麼你會進入真正的核心,甚至你的病會不藥而癒。

比如說氣喘病,內心有太多的恐懼及不安,拼命喘其實是想把累積的恐懼咳出去,是肉體上的象徵儀式。兒童的氣喘主要是承受自身的恐懼或吸收了家庭氣氛中的恐懼不安,而塵蟎及灰塵只是最表層的原因罷了。比如感冒,你選擇啟動體內的感冒病毒,或接受別人傳給你的病毒的原因為何?第一,你「相信」感冒會傳染;第二,你想要休息又苦於沒有藉口;第三,你的心累了,想要愛及關心。比如,所有流行病的發生都是一個「集體聲明」,透過這個聲明將集體群眾在政治上、經濟上或文化上的無力感浮上檯面,讓所有人一起去面對,一同解決。

因此,一個對疾病的全面性觀點才能幫助人類更了解疾病的本質。很多人以為身心靈健康療法太過唯心了,完全忽略了病毒、細菌、飲食及外在環境等具體致病因子。事實剛好相反,我是要幫助病人找到「以心役物」的那個偉大的心靈力量,講求的是心物能量的整體平衡,以矯正大家目前為物所役、為病所制的唯物醫學。

这智慧文章非常值得大家去读与分享!台湾翔雲之心得

* 如果生命最終會歸零,那人為什麼還要努力?
* 如果你所擁有的都帶不走,為什麼要一直辛苦奮鬥?
* 你如果知道自己蓋的大樓,最終將成為一堆廢墟,那麼當初又何必建造它?
* 如果肉體是唯一的實相,除了肉體之外沒有任何超越肉體以外的存在,那活著又有甚麼意思呢?
* 何必活得那麼老?何必受苦受難?明天醒來的目的何在?似乎一點意義也沒有。
* 你想過嗎?當你的身體睡著的時候,你在哪裡?當你長大,老了,那個兒童時期和年輕的你在哪裡?
* 在你出生之前,你又在哪裡?

生命不死

陳勝英醫師是一位基督徒,原本不相信前世今生因果輪迴的概念。

但是他在美國加州先後為兩位美國人進行催眠治療時,他們竟然講出自己根本不懂的東方語言,聽起來很像中國古代的文言文,從吃驚、排斥而終於發願探究,後來又遇到更多被催眠到前世的案例,陳勝英才漸漸接受生命會輪迴的事實,才有本書的報導。

在精神醫學中,不乏病因不明或無法根治的疾病患者,他們的問題就像高深的數學患者,他們的問題就像高深的數學難題一樣,仍待醫界人士努力去解答。有些精神科醫師都曾在偶然間不約而同碰到病人進入前世的現象。起初未加注意,即使注意到了也不敢輕易提出討論,深怕被人誤解。

這些年來,由於資訊流通,溯及前世的案例多了,一些有經驗的醫生已走出獨自摸索輪迴現象的階段,開始在各個場合公開互相討論,也發行了著作。

你不只活這一世

其實輪迴與轉世的概念,在全世界各個文明,包括在猶太教及早期基督教的文獻中都可以找到痕跡,更是佛教一個很重要也很有智慧的思想。

前世追溯催眠療法最近更引發探討前世的熱潮,直截了當地衝擊著西方文明。

輪迴轉世的意義

生命不是從出生的時候開始的,我們不曾真正死亡,死亡僅是生命的轉換,生命的延續,更是生命進化的階梯。

輪迴轉世發現有種規律模式,不斷地透過靈魂的重生使我們能夠進入一種不同的知識層次,我們的靈魂將會為了學習新知和了解與解決前世的無知,而使生命進化重生再一具新的肉身之中。

一般人來到世上都是無知的,一切都要從基本開始,一切從頭學起。但累世的智能(智慧與潛能)卻不會,就像有些小孩,一生下來個性(文靜、外向、急躁)、特質(勇氣、誠實、自私等)或才能(如語言、數學、音樂等),"與生俱來"就不同。

但是當我們學習到一定階段之後,便開始與前世的智能銜接,一但銜接住了,人生頓時豁然開朗,好像突然"開竅了"。那並不是新的東西,只是被你遺忘而已。

所有我們學過的都會保留下來,只是你不知道罷了。

當精子與卵子結合的那一剎那,轉世的靈魂就會進入了這個受精卵,並逐漸失去它的意識。因為前世的記憶會干擾到今生的學習,如果他能夠記住過去,它將會已經是老的,那麼整個重生的目的就喪失掉了。

而前世的記憶如何傳遞到今生呢?那就得拜"潛意識"之賜了。潛意識不受邏輯、時間、空間所限,能回憶任何時間發生的任何事情。它可以針對我們的困擾傳送錦囊妙計。也能超越普通心思,觸及意識所不及的智慧大海。

潛意識好比一片電腦軟體,當硬體毀壞了,軟體中的程式卻不會消滅。當某人在轉世時,軟體中的程式(潛意識)會隱隱約約影響人的一生。

精神分析學派的創始人,現代心理學的奠基者佛洛伊德認為,把原先的創傷帶進潛意識,疏導壓抑,整合他的感覺與學習到的東西,就會產生療效。

熟練的治療師在施用催眠回溯療法時,先是將病患催眠,然後經由適切指引,回到事件發生之初。

一般而言,傷害事件發生在這一世童年時代。這是標準的精神分析理論。

而陳勝英醫師卻觀察到某些人有與生俱來的恐懼感、強迫症、氣喘症、頭痛症等等,這些與生俱來的病症經催眠後,發現所有的徵狀多源於前世不幸的遭遇。

陳勝英醫師的案例裡,有許多患者原始的創痛追溯得更遠,需要重返不同的前世,才能解除今生的臨床徵狀。

有許多陳勝英的案例闡明,人的愛恨情仇是最容易製造業障的因素,不甚觸犯而不妥善解決,也許可讓你逃過一時,即使逃過一千年,仍然會冤家路窄,再度相逢,這時雙方都可能添加無數的其他牽累,讓你這一生過得更辛苦。

接觸過多年的臨床前世催眠治療的個案後,也讓陳醫師歸納了幾個輪迴因果的法則:

* 【每個人的人生都有一個主要課題】

所有的困苦與災難,都是針對人生課題而來,困苦與災難必須以慈悲、忍辱、寬恕來終結。今世沒體會了悟,來世得重頭再來面對一次;世世不及格,就必須在好幾世在同一個課題打轉。有些人用自殺來解決今世痛苦,可能來是會遭受更深的痛苦,使得課題更加龐大且複雜,生命更加麻煩。

* 【人與人之間的一切恩恩怨怨,必須以慈悲、仁愛、寬恕來終結】

慈悲、仁愛、寬恕是消除人們業障的第一個藥方,忍受冤屈是消除人們業障的第二個藥方。如果你今世得到的愛情是苦的,心有不甘,硬要報仇,就會造成更大的業障,不但今後更痛苦,來世會更淒慘。

* 【施捨有方,終會有報】

失去的財物,若本來應屬於你的,必定會在環回來;施捨出去的,若是算在你頭上的,必定會回報給你。巧取豪奪偷盜搶劫一時,終難免於困苦貧賤好幾世。隨時歡喜施捨給需要的人,是事事亨通的唯一法門。

* 第四個輪迴法則:"好壞皆有報,相助不相抵"

不管做了甚麼好事或壞事,未來一定會得到相對應的果報。要注意的是,做了壞事所種下的因,並不會因為後來做了更多更大的善事而消失,不要以為功過可以相抵,宇宙間的基本道理就是:"凡走過的,必留下痕跡。"亦即"種甚麼因、得甚麼果。"所以我們的命運乃是操縱在自己手中。

~勿以惡小而為之,勿以善小而不為。

雜感

當我們離開這一世,都匯到一個屬靈的世界,在那裏我們可以與其他的指導老師(高級靈或神)研究,哪一種課程是我們在進化過程中需要學習的。

就像在大學時,我們向指導老師商量一下課程的內容,如慈悲、感恩,寬容、宽恕,忍辱等課題。

當我們選定課程之後,我們就會根據自己累世所種下的因緣,開始選擇我們的父母、長相及環境,選擇了我們所謂的命運。

每一個靈都可以根據自己的因緣自由選擇,至於選擇的結果是好是壞,那都不重要,重要的是學習,因為整個生命的目的就是為了進化。

所以不管你遭遇甚麼都是好的,都是對的。沒有幸與不幸,也沒有人是受害者,你選擇了自己的肉體,你選擇了那個家庭,你選擇遇到那些事、那些人,都是你所需要的。不論你選擇甚麼,都是來成就你的,你將學習得更多,更豐富。

靈魂在進入肉身之前,對自己的使命非常清楚,也有信心加以完成。所以當人對自己深具信心,就能發揮潛能。

一隻狗每天"游手好閒,無所事事"你不會覺得奇怪,但要是你每天這樣過,你會難過,因為你是有意識的。人必須為自己的生命負責。

佛經常提到"人身"是極為難得的,為何難得,因為它給我們機會得到靈性的成長。透過學習,你的這一世比上一世層次更高,當然如果你不去進化,只追求物質及肉體的歡乐享受,跟動物沒兩樣,你就會掉入生物的層次。轉世的藍圖會讓你變成"動物"。。

在輪迴當中,時間是不重要的。開始於這一世,常結果於下一世。

當人們遇到挫折時,常問上天為什麼?那是搞錯了方向,如果你了解生命祕密的運作過程,你就會了解,其實自己才是應該被質疑的對象。

雖然人的一生中,會遭遇數不清的打擊,可是打擊最終會對你的人生帶來多大的衝擊,這個決定權,卻在你自己的手裡。

透過我們的行動、語言和思想我們可以有選擇。如果選擇好的一面,就可以消除痛苦和病因,幫助我們的潛能,達到最高的進化。

輪迴的信仰告訴我們: 宇宙間有某種最高的正義或善,我們一直想發掘和釋放的,便是那種善。除非佛性能夠完全甦醒過來,我們也解脫了 貪、嗔、癡,與不死的、覺悟的心結合,否則生死輪迴將永無盡期。

216 - Mother Earth's Wake-up Call

Hello dear friends,

Please view the slides to appreciate Mother Earth's wake-up call. The slides are truly touching and it will move our heart to show some love and compassion for the Nature/Mother Earth!

Quietly watch this 'wake-up call'. The music is very serene and peaceful!

Just spend a few minutes and also to observe your thoughts.

ALL IN FVOUR OF CAPITALIISM! WE SHOULD START TO THINK HOW LONG MORE THE MOTHER EARTH CAN STAND ALL THE ABUSE!

ALL THE GOLD, MONEY, LUXURIOUS CARS, HOUSES..THAT WE ARE CHASING AFTER WILL VANISH Following EARTH QUAKE AND TSUNAMI. DON’T THINK HUMAN BEINGS CAN PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING, CAN WE?

START TO EAT A BIT LESS AND LIVE A MORE SIMPLE LIFE. IT IS NO POINT OWNING MORE THAN WHAT WE REALLY REQUIRE. BACK TO NATURE IS THE ONLY HOPE!

A FRIEND TOLD ME AMERICAN HAS STARTED TO REAR COWS AS CHICKEN (CONFINED THEM IN CAGES, WITH LIGHT BULD SHINING ON THEM SO THAT THEY DO NOT KNOW DAY OR NIGHT AND JUST EAT THE CHEMICALS FEEDS). TO SUPPLY MILK AND MEAT TO ALL OF US.. THE REASONS – FOR MORE PORFIT! HOW DO YOU FEEL?..
