In the Second Home, everything is wonderful and desirable, so how is this realized and maintained so well?

The picture of Xanadu in each person’s heart could be different and unique, but at least two points are the same: one is the graceful, serene, clean, tidy, and natural environment, with abundant food, no worries, quarrels, troubles, or noise, and the other is the harm

Mr. Isadon and all brothers and sisters in Konohana Family，

Greetings to all of you.

We were all shocked when our beloved nephew (he was just one month behind his 16th year) diagnosed with an acutely aggressive brain tumor.  Doctors gave him only a few months to live.  I couldn’t believe what I was hearing.  I was totally numb for the sometimes. I was not really prepared for that, really not.  I remember it was one of the days when I was babysitting him in the hospital, he said to me, “mamoo (uncle) I am feeling severe pain……….”  I ran to the attending doctor and asked him to do

ESL teachers face the unique challenge of working with students who speak English as a second language. This linguistic divide can make it more difficult for both students and teachers, occasionally leading to frustration and damaging the teacher-student relationship.

Because of this, many ESL teachers turn to technology to bridge the gap, using e-learning tools to make the process of learning more fun and interactive. After all, having fun while learning can encourage students to take more respo

She's blooming! What a thing of beauty!

Have you noticed something wonderful today? Perhaps you experienced something beautiful in your surroundings? Whatever it is, here’s a simple expression that native English speakers use when they find something nice and pretty.

An Urban Dictionary contributor defines a ‘thing of beauty’ as something that is favorable, appealing or just plain nice.

It’s true enough that I heard this expression in movies and TV shows oftentimes. From the way it’s been interpret

    You must Come From the Heaven

Xuefeng

(Translated by Conglong)

You always smile and talk gently,

like the white cloud in the sky

You walk quietly

like the swinging willow

You are so sweet

as the spring water

Limpid and pure

Your love is so transparent

Covers no earthly dust

Only flows with fragrance

Your affections are so sincere

Just as the lasting spring

Green lands all year round

You must come from the heaven

Or you will not kiss passionately in public

Regardless of secular eyes

You must come from the

A Century’s Dreadful Earthquakes and Jesus’ Revelation

Xue Feng

19^th January, 2010

Jesus the Christ’s Revelation said: “and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers’ places. All these are the beginning of sorrows.”

Historically, human beings had never experienced such frequent earthquakes in the history. Please look at the following cataclysmic earthquakes all over the world:

On December 28 1908, The earthquake in Messina, Italy took more than 80,000 lives
On December 16,

“The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter’s oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see in truth that you are weeping for that which

Last night Anna saw a nightmare and it was like this. She was standing on her balcony in a daylight. Then suddenly a crow flew over there and told her in a human's voice, ''Look, Anna, your first language is not English so I think you are chasing rainbows and I am quite sure you will not be successful! So, my suggestion is you better stop learning.''

Anna became numb for a while but she managed herself and answered forthrightly, 'Hey, what else if English is not my first language? I know I have t

For several months I’ve been writing my blog on a personal level and most of the times I tend to use my words in a subjective manner. I believe that’s how blogging goes as you will transform your language for others to have a read whether your content has a sense or just good for nothing write-ups, but let’s assume what you’ve written is awesomely written. Until you asked yourself, have you ever thought if they are helpful? Is it useful? Will somebody benefit from it? These questions are not onl

When we walk on this way, the way of the Greatest Creator and the way of Lifechanyuan, we are destined to devote ourselves to the land that gives birth to us, to humanity, to nature and to all other lives. By giving out everything we have, we will achieve perfect souls, noble characters, and the life wealth which qualifies us to e

Before I die in this hellish weather, here are my plans:

Isn't great that we can say it all with just an image? :P

Thanks in advance for dropping by and being in mood to share silly gifs! (...okay, or just images, that's fine too)

First, let us understand these eight characteristics of the era in which we are living:
The current era of humanity is one of disorder
It is an era of nationalities, political parties, religions, races, countries, and other interest groups fighting both overtly and covertly
It is an era of people mostly pursuing material comforts but ultimately falling apart
It is an era in which the winners make the rules and the losers are always wrong, with everything depending on force and power
It is an era

Footnote: This puppy didn't write any essay either and look how happy it is.

Geez... How is that the blog section is so full of spam/advertising stuff lately?  

Not to mention how fast is dropping the activity here... if nothing changes I can't see a very bright future for this site. So, where are all these members who are supposed to like this site so much? Move your as* and write some blogs from time to time before the tumbleweeds start growing; it's not so hard :P 

Light the Sacred Lamp in Your Heart

We can face problems or stumble into traps when we walk in the dark. More seriously, we could take a wrong turn and be lead awayfrom our destination. It is only when we walk in the sunlight or shinea lamp to brightenour way that we are able to reach our destination, one step at a time.

As cultivators, we must first learn where we want to go. Then, we need to follow this path and not be distracted or mislead by an

I know what you are thinking now? How English club is discussing about fever!

It is not a physical fever we are experiencing. It is a mental fever!

What is a mental fever?

It is a kind of feeling in our mind. If you have mental fever it will have a feeling that your are tired. It will be just a feeling or may be initiated by some incident. Immediately your mind will tell you are tired and you start feeling it. If you are feeling like this, your body will listen to the same and start acting on it. F

I am a star, a dim numen;

I can cruise in the outer space, flying in the night;
I come close to, in countless times, the nation which was missed so long;
I peek it, without any noise.

I am a fish, swim in vast sea;
I always recall dreamed scenery, the sleeping palace in the deep water;
I push myself to seek ahead, thirst for her bright;
I call in my heart, “Close, Close,Close to me...”

When I say goodbye to her, my life also leave me far away;
I feel her smell, disappears in the skyline slowly;
