A healthy mind is more important than a healthy body. Take care of your mind first.

Every gifts received and every lunch treated is a reminder to kindness

独自夜游台大- 想到有幸住过这里的宿舍, 站过脚车, 在校钟下喝台啤,旁听...很感谢
二十岁 拥有的不多 可以分享的却不少
没钱旅行, 去一趟超市买半价的橙汁也可以很高兴
那个学生的时代 好怀念
平静的椰林大道

最重要的是那个沸点前不放弃的信心。 纯的念头

今天 读着新生命的分享心得 想起今天在法光上的课 。
在想 我对佛学的兴趣 到底是哪一类型的? 可以听到有趣 是因为 老师够好吗?
这种兴趣 会不会超过我对那种瑜伽etc 的有feel? 那种超澄静的笃定?
那个到底是属于佛教的吗? 还是如捷立说的, 每一个宗教都有静坐啊,什么都有用啊,只是不要讲是佛教。(因为佛教最重要是智慧)
我会不会把那种笃定自己联想成跟佛教,甚至跟宗教,甚至跟瑜伽有关系,可是他可能 not arise from them at all.
For example,  zhangjie's 笃定is from feldenkrais,  no matter how similar it sounds, it is from different thing. But it could be same thing from body level. Not from ultimate enlightenment point of view.

可能真的没有。

我的志愿里, 只是要恍然的感觉。

到底你说的timing 到了 是什么timing?  对的老师?
Say marriage timing,  is wait till settle mood or wait till right person?

Wat Po General Thai Massage (30 hours) training

After thinking about it for almost a year, I decide to go to Bangkok to learn Thai Massage from the renowned Wat Po massage school, teaching traditional thai massage since 1962. I have considered going to Chiang Mai to learn because there are many good schools and teachers (including the one who started the massage program in Wat Po) but the timing is not good for me. I would love to learn the Northern style if I have a chance in the future. 

So here I am! In an alley opposite the west side of Wat Po. If you need to look for this place, turn in and walk till the end of the alley when you see 'Coconut Palm Restaurant' at the corner.

Second floor with a water cooler and shoe racks. 

The practice hall, where everyone takes turn to massage their partner under the teacher's supervision. I practice here for 5 days!

So it's hard work... but it's not difficult to pass. We have to memorize the whole set of sequences within 5 days, but because we repeated it so many times, and have been corrected on the weak spots many times, we sort of get the flow at the end of the training. Have a good rest every night because you will be kneeling down, massaging people and being massaged by amateurs most of the time. Surprisingly it doesn't feel that laborious, because we learn how to use our body weight, certain postures and angles to massage. What we learn is mainly for general relaxation, and this is a very practical oriented course, which means there isn't much theory besides a quick introduction of the 10 energy lines. For anyone who is interested to learn more about the theories and for therapy purposes, they have a 10-day advanced course that started every 2nd and 4th saturday, if I am not wrong. 

But as an advice he said: “if you want to be a seeker, if you want to follow, then bear in mind never to satisfy or do with relative truth, strive for the ultimate truth, never to rely and do with a person, a teacher. Try to strive for the teaching. Never to trust what your mind concludes. Strive for the conclusion coming from the wisdom, the wisdomwisdom mind”.
