There are many times more stars in the sky than people on earth. Each star floats along its own orbit around the galaxy and each orbit is determined and is not its free choice.

 

Life also has its track: birth, growth, ageing, and death is our inescapable course. Eighteen (18) properties cannot be self-managed within Life’s track. If we make a detailed search and analysis, we can see that each

Life's in "Messa di voce"

Messa di voce is a musical technique that sung or played at a quiet volume, gradually and smoothly made louder until it reaches a high volume, then similarly made quiet again. (wikipedia)

When I was so active in singing activity, I liked this word "messa di voce" a lot. One day, I was observing the drizzle outside, but suddenly it was a heavy rain, in a minute, drizzling again. So, I said to my friends, "Hey, this rain plays messa di voce". They were all laughing. "Hahha...well, well, you can say

”Abandonment is an achievement.”
                                                     --- Xindeng Celestial


It seems that “Abandonment is an achievement” is a contradiction, but it is actually great wisdom, though beyond the ordinary people’s comprehension and imagination. It embodies an ingenious realm; a boldness of vision that looks far ahead and aims high above the common and vulgar; a tactical str

Possess nothing yet have everything. This is not a paradox, but a great secret with which to go toward a better LIFE space.

Jesus Christ taught us to, “Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not break thr

(Translated by Transn and Edited by Kaer)

 

From the long-term perspective, we know that each life lasts for only a fleeting moment. Regardless of how capable we might be, we are incapable of escaping our inexorable doom. How to spend this fleeting life is a question deserving our serious consideration and discussion. Look at life from the perspective of LIFE, life is only a journey, a flash of light in the infini

Jerusalem - The City of David

Jerusalem – The City of David

     David, the son of Hebraic tribe of Canaan  conquered the city from the Jebusites and established it as the capital of the united kingdom of Israel, and his son, King Solomon, commissioned the building of the First Temple of Judaism in this region.

    All this happened a long time before the Christians established their religion in the Kingdom of Judea. The Christians built their shrines to celebrate the crucifixion of Jesus.

    Much later, Islam made Jerusalem a

Morning at the New Oasis in Canada

Morning at the New Oasis in Canada

November 3, 2017
 
(Translated by Xidai and Edited by Kaer)
 
A silent world of ice and snow.
No familiar sound of birds singing.
Fog surrounds the lake like a fairyland.
Cars pass along the Cariboo Highway.
Golden sunshine fills our home.
Inside, it is a warm Spring day.
Outside, we play joyfully in the snow.
We live here like Celestials in heaven.

!!! STOP Child Marriage !!!

Today I read an article about the child marriages in the countries such as Malawi and Mosambik, where the girls under the age of 18 are forced to marry men from the only one reason: parents don't have enough money to feed so many kids -> so logically one hungry kid out of the house can make their situation more bearable. To be honest I hardly can understand such behavior from my parental view and I keep on asking myself: How can parents do this? How can they throw own daughter to the lions??? Do

THUNDER

I wrote this blog sometime in 2014.

 

Last night it was raining.  The sky was getting illuminated intermittent lightening. Power was fluctuating, and finally, it was gone and I got dc (disconnected) from my friend on the net. I left the table with an inner gloom and went to the balcony. It was raining heavily with thunder. I let the downpour come upon my body just to try to wash off all the fatigue of the day. There was darkness outside, just the rays of a few emergency lights peeping through the

Sound of the four seasons in Japan

Japanese people hear characteristic sounds every season.

In spring, we hear the songs which birds sing in the early morning as if they are delighted at coming of spring. Most creatures seem to welcome the coming of spring.

In summer, we can hear the sound of cicadas chirping. They are very loud, but the sound from a distance have a good taste for me. A famous Japanese haiku poet wrote a poem , it's「閑けさや 岩に染み入る 蝉の声」. I think in English it can be translated as 「The calmness, it is merging into the r
