Beautiful message from Bill Gates*

Subject:
What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?
 
I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.

As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us:

1) It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me,
just ask Tom Hanks.

2) It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.

3) It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.

4) It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.

5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine)
as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.

6) It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this. It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and
to strengthen our family unit.

7) It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do.
Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.

😎 It is reminding us to keep our egos in check. It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are,
a virus can bring our world to a standstill.

9) It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after
only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colors.

10) It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.

11) It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning. This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.

12) It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick. 

13) It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.

14) Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a great corrector

It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.

守破離

  • 「守」,一切盡量遵守教條,練習基本功夫直到熟練。這個階段專心學習一種實務,比學習各種理論重要。
  • 「破」,開始打破一些規範限制,可以因地制宜靈活運用。這個階段開始思考理論,也會參考看看其他門派是怎麼做的。
  • 「離」,超越所有規範的限制,自創一格,達到無招勝有招的境界。

馬騮的習慣

有一位英國著名學家Eddie Obeng於2013年提出了一個簡單的實驗,內容如下。

科學家先把4隻馬騮和一把梯子放於一個大鐵籠裏,再在梯子的最高點放一些香蕉。每當有馬騮爬上梯子想取香蕉時,工作人員就會用冰水淋濕其餘的3隻馬騮,令它們受苦。過了一段時間,只要有任何一隻馬騮想爬上梯子取香蕉時,其餘3隻馬騮都會攻擊它。馬騮們不希望被冰水淋濕,所以阻止任何馬騮爬上梯子。它們很快便能摸索出當中的關係,都算頗聰明。

慢慢地,4隻馬騮都再不會爬上梯子,因為彼此都知道爬梯子的後果。見4隻馬騮都不再爬梯子一段時間,工作人員就換走其中一隻馬騮,換入一隻新馬騮。當新馬騮被換入時,它看到梯子上有香蕉,立即就想爬上去取香蕉。此時,其餘3隻馬騮立即攻擊它,令它也不再想爬上梯子取香蕉。

新馬騮其實不知道若有馬騮爬上梯子後,會被工作人員淋冰水,但它因每當爬梯子就被攻擊,開始也乖乖不再爬上梯子取香蕉了。再換入一隻新馬騮,新馬騮一進入籠子,就想爬上梯子取香蕉,立即就被其餘3隻馬騮攻擊,而攻擊它的,也包括之前換入的第一隻未被冰水淋過的新馬騮。

同樣換馬騮的動作被重複着,慢慢地一隻隻新馬騮被換入。每一隻新馬騮剛被換進新梯子時,都想爬上梯子取香蕉,亦都會被其餘的馬騮攻擊,之後都不再想爬上梯子。

如是者一直換入新馬騮,直至原本最初那4隻被冰水淋過的馬騮全都被換走了,換入了4隻從未被冰水淋過身體的馬騮。雖然在籠子內的4隻馬騮都沒有被冰水淋濕過,它們亦沒有見過有馬騮被冷水淋濕過,但這些新馬騮依然不會再爬上梯子取香蕉。

行遠自邇,登高自卑

君子實行中庸之道,就像走遠路一樣,必定要從近處開始;就像登高山一樣,必定要從低處起步。《詩經》說:“妻子兒女感情和睦,就像彈琴鼓瑟一樣。兄弟關系融洽,和順又快樂。使你的家庭美滿,使你的妻兒幸福。”孔子贊嘆說:“這樣,父母也就稱心如意了啊!”

Is there anything love can do? 愛にできることはまだあるかい

愛にできることはまだあるかい


我們還能為愛付出什麼

何も持たずに 生まれ堕ちた僕


一無所有的我誕生在這世界


永遠の隙間で のたうち回ってる


於永恆的夾縫中痛苦掙扎著


諦めたものと 賢い者だけが


放棄的人們 與聰明的人們


勝者の時代に どこで息を吸う


都在勝者的時代努力地活著

支配者も神も どこか他人顔


支配者也好神也好都一副事不關己


だけど本当は 分かってるはず


但是他們內心實際上應該是明白的

勇気や希望や 絆とかの魔法


當勇氣、希望與羈絆的魔法失效


使い道もなく オトナは眼を背ける


那些大人們卻只是對此視而不見

それでもあの日の 君が今もまだ


儘管如此那一天的你到了現在依然


僕の全正義の ど真ん中にいる


存在於我那一心追求正義的中心點

世界が背中を 向けてもまだなお


就算世界背對我們


立ち向かう君が 今もここにいる


如今反抗的你依舊站在我身旁

愛にできることはまだあるかい

運命とはつまり サイコロの出た目?


所謂命運是骰子的數字


はたまた神の いつもの気まぐれ


還是說神明反復無常

選び選ばれた 脱げられぬ鎧


被選中的 是脫不去的鎧甲


もしくは遥かな 揺らぐことない意志


還是深遠又毫不動搖的意志

果たさぬ願いと 叶わぬ再会と


無法實現的願望 無法實現的再會


ほどけぬ誤解と 降り積もる憎悪と


無法解開的誤會 聚集成堆的憎恨

許し合う声と 握りしめ合う手を


彼此認可的聲音與緊握的雙手


この星は今日も 抱えて生きてる


這顆星球今日依舊持續存在著

愛にできることはまだあるかい


我們還能為愛付出什麼


僕にできることはまだあるかい


我是否還能為你做什麼

君がくれた勇気だから 君のために使いたいんだ


因為這是你給予的勇氣 所以只想為了你而使用


君と育てた愛だから 君とじゃなきゃ意味がないんだ


這份與你一起培育的愛 如果不是你就毫無意義

愛にできることはまだあるかい


我們還能為愛付出什麼


僕にできることはまだあるかい


我是否還能為你做什麼

何もない僕たちに なぜ夢を見させたか


為何要讓一無所有的我們做夢呢


終わりある人生に なぜ希望を持たせたか


為何要在有限的人生擁有希望呢

なぜこの手をすり抜ける ものばかり与えたか


為何淨是給予 跟我們雙手擦肩而過的事物呢


それでもなおしがみつく 僕らは醜いかい


儘管如此仍在緊抓不放的我們 是否很醜陋呢


それとも、きれいかい


還是說很漂亮呢

答えてよ


回答我吧

愛の歌も 歌われ尽くした 数多の映画で 語られ尽くした


愛之歌也竭盡全力歌唱了 數個電影中也盡心盡力傳達了


そんな荒野に 生まれ落ちた僕、君 それでも


就算是出生在這片荒野中的我與你 也還是有

愛にできることはまだあるよ


我們還能為愛付出的事


僕にできることはまだあるよ


我還有想要為你做的事


蓮葉凝珠,不及東風一浪
