初入梦境 尘缠心
遗忘始境 心非心
迷失之景 镜是镜
无厌尘心 何止心

Perhaps, we are here to love
Perhaps, we are here to love
Spent the morning visiting a few elderly. Had a great chat with them on a beautiful Sunday morning.
They taught me a precious lesson on love today.
The first was an elderly couple, the uncle was in his 90s and the auntie was in her late 80s. The uncle has visual and mobility difficulties, and when the uncle was chatting with us, the auntie who has auditory difficulties, was there smiling.
Both of them were really positive when they talked about how because of uncle's mobility difficulties, they are unable to go far, and they were smiling when they talked about being each others' support, and how they are satisfied with their lives in the company of their loved ones.
The second was an elder in his 90s. The elder had mobility difficulties but was jovial and kind. He told me his life story, and the part which struck me was when he spoke about his wife, his eyes sparkled with love. He told me how his wife insisted on marrying him during the 1950s despite him telling her that he was engaged through a marriage proposal made by his parents in Taiwan. He choose to marry his wife and decided to call off his proposed marriage in Taiwan despite the possibility of incurring the displeasure of his parents.
He laughed when he mentioned that his wife loved him a lot.
I was touched.
Sometimes, life is really simple. Perhaps, the objective of life is to love; the only difference lies in the person of our affection.
It may be ourselves, our families, loved ones, or the world.
I am grateful for the opportunity to witness and listen to the elders share on their love. Sometimes, it is unspoken, seen through the actions which speaks the language of love. May they continue to love and be loved.
Maybe, just maybe we are all here to love.
May all be well and happy.
With loving-kindness

一碗粥，一滴眼泪
一碗粥，一滴眼泪
其实我真的不想吃这一碗鱼圓粥。它提醒着我这是近三十几天以来，我第三次入院。今早，头晕，差点昏过去的我决定放弃与同事们参加今天部门欢聚活动，独自一人来到了医院。
独自躺在观察病房的时候，我听见了其他病人痛苦的声音，有些哭述着身体的痛处，有些哭述着心灵的痛苦。听着，听着，一滴眼泪不禁流了下来。

独自躺在观察病房的时候，我听见了其他病人痛苦的声音，有些哭述着身体的痛处，有些哭述着心灵的痛苦。听着，听着，一滴眼泪不禁流了下来。
自己的痛楚不算什么。
口中念着佛号，希望大家能够远离痛苦，得欢喜快乐。
一片宁静充满了心，感觉痛苦渐渐的远离心了。
这时，一位阿姨用着很慈祥的双眼看着我，对我说，"今天的午餐是鱼圓片粥，你想吃吗?"
我微笑的点点头。
看着这一碗粥，心里想着原来痛苦中，生起同理心，感恩心，痛苦就会少点。
心中痛苦少了，幸福就有空间住进心里了。
P.S.感谢各位的关爱。我已经出院了，现在在家里休息了。感恩。

The World

Friend: "Sometimes I think you are too idealistic for the world."
Bear: *laughs* "Yes. Perhaps. That is why I live in my world."
Friend: o_O ?
