At that moment I raised the wind horse Not for begging for f Just for waiting for your coming
On that day Eye closure in the temple incense fog Suddenly heard you chant of the truth
That day since base mani pile Not to strive for virtues Only to cast a stone heart lake
That night I listened to the blessed one night sing Not to put in Just to find you a breath
That day I don't shake all the cylinder to turn undead Just to touch your fingertips
That year, Kowtow prostrate on the mountain Not to see But for your warm
That moment, I rise to heaven, not for longevity, only to bless you peace and joy
That journey, around mountains around water around pagoda Not for repairing the afterlife Only to meet with you on the way
Please allow me to settle down, the house I saw you lower the head to chant, and my heart there is something began.
Buddha says, life is harsh.I turned twist beads, but I don't know where the inner hesitation come from.
look at that horse dancing in plateau brisk wind, missing the direction always point to the place you come.
 I don't know where the inner hesitation come from but in mani pile under the pile of lonely sand. 
I don't know where the inner hesitation come from but in the name of the Buddha in the Vatican to sing for you gentle breath. 
That all the barrel turn is my feeling of love, all those mountain crawled forward, just to close to your warmth. 

Poetry of Tsangyang Gyatso


The ten rule: (poem) by Tsangyang Gyatso
The first, the one you should not meet,so then you may not love 
The second, the one you should not known well,so then you may not lovesick
The third, the one you should not accompany,so then you may not owe 
The fourth,the one you should not pity,so then you may not recall
The fifth,the one you should not love,so then you may not abandon
The sixth,the one you should not opposite,so then you may not meet
The seventh,the one you should not harm,so then you may not negative
The eighth,the one you should not wish,so then you may not go on
The ninth ,the one you should not rely on,so then you may not snuggle
The tenth,the one you should not meet,so then you may not have a meeting

A brief introduction to Tsangyang Gyatso: As a Dalai Lama, Tsangyang had composed excellent works of songs and poems, but often went against the principles of the Gelug School of Tibetan Buddhism. For example, he decided to give his Getsul vow to the Panchen Lama Lobsang Yeshi Palsangpo at eighteen, instead of taking the usual Gelong.
The Panchen Lama, who was the abbot of Tashi Lhunpo Monastery, and Prince Lhazang, the younger brother of the Po Gyalpo Wangyal, persuaded him not to do so.
Tsangyang Gyatso, enjoyed a lifestyle that included drinking, the company of women and men, and writing love songs. He visited Lobsang Yeshe, the Fifth Panchen Lama, in Shigatse and requesting his forgiveness, renounced the vows of a novice monk.He ordered the building of the Tromzikhang palace in Barkhor, Lhasa.
Tsangyang Gyatso had always rejected life as a monk, although this did not mean the abdication of his position as the Dalai Lama. Wearing the clothes of a normal layman and preferring to walk than to ride a horse or use the state palanquin, Tsangyang only kept the temporal prerogatives of the Dalai Lama. He also visited the parks and spent nights in the streets of Lhasa, drinking wine, singing songs and having amorous relations with girls. Tsangyang retreated to live in a tent in the park near the northern escarpment of Potala. Tsangyang finally gave up his discourses in public parks and places in 1702, which he had been required to do as part of his training.

Time keeper- cherish what you have and want no more


In Sarahs future, she succeeds to suicide.Her mom is trying to sale the car that kills her daughter. Lorraine, her mom, keeps her eyes locked on the car, until it disappeared around a corner. Then she broke down, sobbing. I should have been there. as she blames herself. Sarahs uncle tried awkwardly to hug her across the front sear, their winter coats scratching against each other. Seeing this, Sarah grips her elbows, she feels sick inside. She has been so consumed with escaping her own misery, she hadnt considered the misery she might inflict. She say her mother squeeze the envelope to her chest, clinging to the receipt for the car that Sarah has used to kill herself. Why? is the only thing that her mom asks for. It is Ethan, the boy that humiliated her, that kills her by killing her heart. The next moment, Sarah is put into the cave that Dor has spend thousands of years in. He was kept away from the one he loved for thousands of years. It is the missing of love let him feel love. Now, he wish nothing but even spend the last days with his wife, Ali. Dor wants Sarah to know the feelings he used to have. Sarah still has many more years. Even she doesnt want them, they want her. Time is not something you give back. The very nect moment may be an answer to your prayer. To deny that is to deny the most important part of you life-hope.  Ends are for yesterday, not for tomorrows. There is more for Sarah to do in this life. 
There will be one day that we will no longer be with the ones we love. There will be one day that we will no more possess what we have now. Why we have to know the betterness of those days so that we can cherish our life today? I remember a part of lyric from Just give me a reasonwe still have everything. comparing to those who are dying we have life. Comparing to those who are starving, we have food. Comparing to those who are alone, we have someone love us to the death end. So, why misery? Thinking of too much makes us too complicated. Happy playing and happy dying, we consume what we have and we love everyone that deserve our love. 

Time keeper-we count our lives


These two person are either in need of more time or sick of having too much time. Dor, the time keeper, is assigned by the father time to save both of them. Victor is needed to accept the natural life, and Sarah is needed to be encouraged to move on. Victor is a man of wealth, and he wants to be immortal by the newest technology. Sarah is but a student, and she wants to end her life because of the insult from her dreaming boy. Dor is assigned to "talk" to them. Being a man from ancient time, he studies and read books for a hundred years in Europe to keep on with the time. The father time gives him an hourglass to slow the time to make Dor have time better understand this world. In this way, Dor finally approaches these two people as a clerk of a watch shop. Sarah gets to trust him when she is talking to him about her imaginary boy friend. Victors notices this man special when he is trying to buy a old watch to honor his now days, so that he would remember everything when he wakes up in the future. Either discarding all time she has or asking for more than he should have is twisted. Dor needs to change them. 
At the point of the girls suicide and the beginning of the old mans preservation process, the time was stopped for the first time- time was just slowed in the past by the hourglass. The river is still. The snow flakes stop in the air. People are doing anything they want; yet, after this point, all is frozen. Nothing is able to move but Victor, Sarah and Dor. It doesnt take long for both Victor and Sarah to get used to this quiet world. And then comes their tour that they will never forget.
At first, Dor showed Victors future. Crowded, extremely crowded.Before Victor could respond, a commotion rose from the gallery hall, now completely filled with spectators. As he approaches the cylinder that he is sleeping in. A wave of horro engulfed him. There inside the tube, was a pinkish, shriveled version of his body, his muscles atrophied, his skin blotched as if burned, his head wired in multiple places, the wires running to numerous machines. His eyes were open and his lips were parted in a pained expression. Immortality is not a gift.

Time keeper- hope not for eternal

     This is a story about the time and life. The general book is led by three small stories. In this Mitch Alboms newest fiction book, the first founder of clock in the ancient time was kept in a cave as a sort of penalty. He will have no more death and sees everyone but himself passing away. Such a torture it is for him to see his beloved wife dying for giving help to others. At first, he is just as the enlightened one who has the tempt to measure time and know the cycle of every thing. He counts with bowls and sticks. He finds out that moon will be off when the water in his bowl has leek out and he knows when the moon will not be round. The talent that nobody has at that time of the world gives him the unique ability to measure every kinds of time. "I have taken every thing under control" he thinks. Yet, he has the talent for time but not for healing. His wife is infected by a horrible disease, which takes her life away in weeks. The heart of Ali, the time inventor and later the keeper, is tore apart. Remembering that his friend has built a tower stretch into the sky, he rush on the tower to reclaim his wife back. The tower starts to fire up as he runs up. However, he is right captured by the father of time as he intends to run to the heaven and reclaim the life of his wife back.
     Since then, he is locked in a cave away from human and, who knows, may be away from earth even for thousand of years. During of this time, he can only hear the pray from human world asking for time. It has been a long time since Ali's leave, and human has been developing since the ancient time. Yet, the understanding of time has never changed. Time are begged to be given out for their rushing ages. Thousands, Millions and billions. Ali is so sick of these prays- asks. To keep his wife in his mind, he uses symbols to record all his memory. Thousands of years, he kills them by carving and listening until the father time comes to ask him to help two people-two resemble all but also are unique. The asks of two represent all human's needs.

Crouching tiger and hidden dragon

what do the Wudan masters teach their pupils? 
     Wudan is the place for Daoism. The basic idea of Daoism is to seek the peace and seek for the harmony between human and the nature. As a student of Wudan, Li Mubai lives out this way. Despite all his has done before, he is now willing to give out his precious sword "the Green Destiny". Swords represent fight, and Li Mubai's giving out sword means he decides to give up fight. He is seeking for the peace by giving up fight. The idea of Wudan next to having peace is to keeping the balance between man and nature. During the final fight with Jen, they fight on the bamboo. He wants to tell Jen that all we have are but the derivative of nature. If we want to really understand ourselves(for Jen is to have better Kung Fu), we need to find our harmony with nature and get used to it. That is why Li Mubai can stand on the top of bamboo; Jen can't even balance herself. Jen, finally, learn these two truth. She want the peace, which has been long gone away from her mind. She tries to jump down the mountain so that she can reclaim back that truth.

Born wild- by Tony Fitzjohn

Life enriches this world. Under the blove sky, Scream and Fred are playing on the hill of Chris. Bagce embraces this human body- Tony. In the fog of sand, hyenas are chasing for antelopes, both of which are compassed with fences.
Born Wild is a story of passion, adventure and skulduggery on the frontline of African conservation. Following Tony Fitzjohn's journey from London bad boy to African wildlife warrior, the heart of the story is a series of love affairs with the world's most beautiful and endangered creatures - affairs that so often end in pain, for to succeed in re-introducing a lion or leopard to the wild is to be deprived of their companionship. Tony tells of his twenty years in Kenya with George Adamson of Born Free fame - a time of discovery, isolation and frequent danger living far from civilisation. And when he was prevented from re-introducing any more animals into the wild and made unwelcome in the country he loved, Tony had to start anew in Tanzania.
 
Fortunately yet sadly, animals are protected by people in cages. Tanzania was the heaven of lions, hyenas and panthers until hunters ignorantly hunt wild animals to endanger. Without the conservation, lions hunters use poison meat to kill lions and peel them out. Their fur will be sought to support hunters' families. Rhinoceros  will be shot just for the horn on their noses. However, I regard this book more than a book to recall people to protect wild animals.  How much courage did Tony have to quest the government of Tanzania and ask for the right of his reservation? He continued what George left and made the conservation thrive. I hear the voice of him inwardly that lives are equal. As we can love our friends and our families, we can also love these spirits of the wild. Once, they were feared , but now we offer our help cause they need.
