是美的咯。。。
再次,在奔波的步伐,发现了很美丽的事情。。。
晚上7点,呈现在我眼前的是一片大海,几座大山,夕阳刚刚走到山的后面,腼腆的躲在后面。
内心是满满的,因为刚刚结束了和YB阿力夏的深入访问,聆听这位独特领袖的分享,刚刚对大马政治存有少许希望。。。
夕阳的光线强烈而不刺眼,我带着满满的内心,拖着那陪伴我走过枪林弹雨的小小电单车,在槟威大桥行驶。
甘尼申没有骗我,他说过,傍晚的海风不强,在槟威大桥驾电单车是一份很不错的体会。
就这样,我就电单车跑道上,行驶速度只有40。
话说夕阳的光线, 照耀了天上的层层云朵, 让他们都穿上了金黄色的光环,在空中漫游。
有人说,云朵是千变万化的。在大桥上的20分钟,我频频抬头望了望,云朵的形状总是不一样。
大海反射了夕阳的光线,微微清风吹起了阵阵的涟漪。我在想,海里的鱼儿,是否也和我一样,有着愉悦的心情呢?
愿自己的包容心,可以像海那么宽阔,那么无边无际。
随着夕阳慢慢依附在大山背后,云朵也变成了紫色,象征了黑色的布帘开始笼罩大地。
而我,这个时候也到家了。。。
当心情平静得可以好好欣赏大自然,不需要语言,不需要文字,就可以感受到宇宙存在的真理。
山河大地,万物之间的联系,这个大自然的规律,如此珍贵,如此奥妙。
这一切一切,都是美的咯。。。
Uncle Burger
Time: 7.45pm; Venue: Entrance of my apartment
ME: “Uncle, I nak order 1 burger ayam.”
While uncle is preparing burger…
ME: “Uncle dah buka puasa ke?”
UNCLE: “Dah buka puasa, tadi baru hisap rokok je.”
ME: “I belum buka puasa lagi la, haha.”
UNCLE: “Tak pe, nanti buka puasa dengan burger nanti, haha.”
While waiting for burger to be cooked, uncle switch radio channel to MyFM.
ME: “Wah, uncle dengar lagu cina ke?”
UNCLE: “Ya la, I ni international punya, haha”
ME: “Bukan saja international, 1 Malaysia juga, haha”
After the burger is done…
UNCLE: “总共2块半。”
ME: “Uncle tau cakap mandarin ke?”
UNCLE: “会讲一点点啦。。。哈哈。”
—————————————————————-
The slogan of “1 Malaysia” was always heard in the TV and radio, it seem to be very far from us.
This will be very far from us, if we really do not take the initiative to communicate.
This is actually just around us, and it is very near to us.
1 Malaysia, is not just a slogan, but it is our lifestyle, our unique lifestyle.
The Bear Cloud
The tears rolling in her big eyes, but she tried so hard to dry out the tears.
However, she showed her smiling face, a smile which was full with passion and enthusiasm.
“I feel very tired and guilty, I wash my face everyday with tears secretly,” her first drop of tears seen after she spoke out this sentence.
Crying should be done secretly, warriors were not allowed to cry in public.
Taking care of her family and her success career, these are the hardest choices she would like to make in her life.
She will not make any mistake again to hurt her beloved family members, and finally she had decided to let go the expertise which she always proud with.
“My girl likes to watch cloud with me,” she smiled again when her girl’s image appear in her mind.
One day her girl said, “Mama, I hope u can always be with me, and tell me the story of bear cloud.”
She touched her hair softly and said, “Mama promise you.”
At the moment, she told herself, she would never hurt this five-year-old daughter, after losing her first son last year.
Tears drop again…
She was the warrior in the battle for more than 20 years, and her children lost thousands of chances to watch the bear cloud with mama.
“I can’t bear any chances to lost my child again,” she stress again.
Perhaps, woman’s intrinsic is to protect the family, even though women can become warriors in battle.
There will be more and more bear cloud in the bluish sky for a mama and a little girl.
清流融入生活
表面上远离了,其实一直融入在生活中。。。
我现在的住家楼下有道场,还真的是第一次道场那么靠近自己的住家。但常常因为工作太忙,很多时候没有机会到楼下听闻佛法。
这几个月来,亲近善知识、拜访道场的次数真的少了很多。
开始在浑浊的社会中溜达,应该说,这是另一个道场吧。总觉得,这段日子,虽然没有“形式化”的提升和学佛,但身口意还是天天在修行中。
就这样,我来到了另外一种道场修行。。。
实习的日子中,总遇到了排山倒海的境界。一次又一次的考验,让自己不断感恩、不断忆念三宝。
严谨地照顾身口意,是每日的自我提醒。即使身在佛法遍地、即使佛法不是社会主流、即使身边的人如何被贪嗔痴蒙蔽,我还是提醒自己忆念佛法。
也许是过去修持所累积的因缘,造就了察觉每个起心动念的敏锐。而这种敏锐,让自己在脚步急促的同时,并不失前进中的处之泰然。
暂时“离开”佛教圈子,并没有让我忘记佛法,反而有了前所未有的珍惜和感恩。
虽然所谓社会的主流已经主宰着大家,这没有所谓的对与错,但我很清楚,内心的一股清流,在这段时间里,如何融入我的生活,如何让我将一切事物看得更自在。
曾经告诉婷,我不只是在实习未来的专业,同时也在浑浊环境中实习佛法的修行。
就是这样,在奔波的浑浊社会,清流深深融入了我的生活。
感恩,还不足以表达我对佛法的肯定和珍惜,也暂时无法用语言来表达。
这种清流融入生活的感觉,真的很自在。
享受孤单
下雨的周末,容易让人思考,容易让人沉醉;需要工作的下雨周末,容易让人在百忙中思考。
就在这一天,没有知道我去了哪里,没有人知道我在做什么。我就在繁忙的都市中,静静地工作,但不需要到公司。
没有人知道我是谁,没有人知道我为什么我会出现在这个地方。我没有和外界交流,电话偶尔有响起,但都只是和我的线人们联系,这就是我的工作。
雨滴让我动弹不得,只能静静地呆在一个没有人认识我的地方,继续我的工作。
今天没有罪案,没有警察记者会,所以我可以到处工作。
已经很多天了,我都是如此过生活:一个人工作,一个人用餐
虽然补选的这段日子,真的让人精疲力尽,但非常感恩,百忙中有这样的孤单环节,让自己好好的沉淀,才不至于变成机器。
也很享受一个人天天“漂洋过海”,面对大海的时候,不想说话,身边就很多陌生人。偶尔会在海上遇见快要变成机器的记者,就会多聊几句,彼此鼓励。
一个人到处工作的时候,会一边骑电单车,一边大声唱歌。又或者会偶尔停下来,和当地居民聊聊,问路和了解风情。
工作,就像旅行一样。
享受孤单,这是最近的体验。也许要享受极度的自由和学习,是必须要同时享受孤单的。虽然身边没有任何人,或者身边围绕着陌生人,但是内心却是满满。
老板、Vincent和Ah Mun的电话来了,不很想接,但还是接了。
“你在哪里?刚才去了哪里?吃了没有?什么时候回来?”。。。
虽然很不耐烦地交待了,但内心深处还是很珍惜学长们的关心和疼爱。偶尔电话不通,他们会扳起前辈的样子责备自己,但我知道,这是关心。
这场雨,下了好多个小时,而我的离去,将会随着雨的停止。
虽然不知道自己会享受孤单到何时,什么时候才会难耐寂寞,但是至少,我很清楚,当下非常享受孤单。
白头偕老的爱情
即使我多么不想思考爱情的问题,但我还是被感动了。。。
就在享受孤单的时候,身旁出现了一个感人的画面。
一对老夫妻,就在雨天,一起享受热腾腾的咖啡。静静地、踏实地,欣赏雨水与大地的接触、聆听雨水所演奏出来的音乐。
他们多数时间都安静地喝咖啡,但不会感觉到没有说话时的尴尬气氛。他们不时聊上几句,每说一句话都深情望着对方,或者和对方微笑。
女方温柔地递给男方纸巾、男方体贴地问对方冷不冷,他们的互动,和一举一动,就像热恋的情侣。
就在寒冷的雨天,由他们构成的画面,温暖了我的心。。。
我在想,他们的爱情故事是如何的?他们共度了多少个岁月?如此踏实的安全感,要如何才可以获得?
他们让我相信,白头偕老的爱情。
很多人宁愿遗憾,都不愿意尝试;宁愿失去,都不愿意受到伤害。因为很多人无法包容,无法迁就。
白头偕老的爱情,是如此写意,如此踏实。那是多么从容的成就,心甘情愿的相伴。
我想起了自己的父母亲。到现在,爸爸还会在情人节的时候送花给妈妈,他们偶尔还会拍拖吃宵夜。
这样的相知相惜,确实是不容易的学问。
也许,我们都忘了停下自己的脚步,忘了如何放下自私的心,忘了和别人分享喜悦,忘了用一颗真心去爱人。
曾经有个人和我说,他希望以后老了,都还可以和心爱的人手牵着手,一起走天涯。我还记得,那个时候,我只是笑笑,不肯相信这种白头偕老的爱情。
有多少个爱情,是不受时间的摧毁?也许,自私的心,才是摧毁爱情的武器。
祝福天下的有情人,可以拥有白头偕老的爱情。
擦肩而过
他总是让我惊讶,在甚少的接触和互动中,总给我很多发现。
叮咛、劝告、评语、意见、教导、责骂,都是他给我的,而且每一句话都让自己差一点跌倒。
震撼,是唯一我可以形容的感觉。也许是因为工作的关系,他说话都很直接,不会浪费时间在美化句子。
日子久了,就开始有机会更深入认识他。从前恨他的直接,因为总让我负荷不来。但现在会感谢他,让我更坚强面对冷漠的社会。
发现大家同一个星座的时候,他对我的信任增加,甚至叙述内心感受,甚至让我发挥慈悲和大爱精神,协助他度过艰难的日子。
偶尔他会介绍他喜爱听的歌曲,我就会惊讶地告诉他,自己也同样喜爱。偶尔会介绍他自己喜爱看的电影,他也会惊讶告诉我,他也同样喜爱。
但我知道,太多相同处,并不表示什么。因为大家相同固执、相同主观、相同金牛。
曾经在短短的时间,大家都有错觉,但还好大家相同理智,所以便只有擦肩而过了。还好,就只是擦肩而过。
我们都非常清楚,大家只是彼此的过客,并不会留下任何痕迹。这种的缘分,是短暂而深刻的。
我知道,金牛和天歇才是比较可以相处的,而我也协助他找到了属于他的天歇。
和他一起“漂洋过海”的一天,我累得说不出话,而他哼则着我们都喜欢的歌。我闭上眼睛,听着他走音的歌声,不敢笑出来,因为他会骂。
我不开心的时候,他会约我出来吃快餐。他也可以察觉我不对劲的眼神,他会在大家忙碌工作的时候说冷笑话,然后让大家臭骂他一顿。
每当我传简讯感谢他的教导,他就会回个电话,确定是不是我传错简讯,因为要逗我亲口说谢谢。如果我有所进步,他会说恭喜和说鼓励的话。
他会拚命和我说广东话,然后我会拼命和他说福建话,因为大家都要实习自己不太懂的语言,然后就会取笑对方发音不准。
如果因缘具足,我相信他将会在我人生旅途中,扮演极为重要的角色。四个月,天天见面,天天相处,但是这个短暂的相处,很快就会结束。
从小会很渴望拥有一个大哥哥,总觉得他就是。他是兄长、也是老师。
虽然你不会读华文字,不过等到我要离开的时候,这些感恩的话,我会亲口告诉你。
谢谢你,Vincent。
我只是害怕体会
我以为一切就在正轨中,原来不是那么一回事。
好几个星期的充实,工作表现不断上升,别人对我肯定逐渐增加,我还以为过去的不如意和不快乐,就要告一个段落了。
几个文字的出现,突如其来地出现。就这样将我打倒了,还真的不可思议,自己也难以相信。
原来,自己还是那么不堪一击。
原来,自己还是那么执著在乎。
Vincent告诉我,No pain no gain,如果这一次我选择退缩,我将失去更多美好的。
为什么害怕受到伤害?因为太爱这个“自己”了。
婷告诉我,小孩跌倒了,总会有一段时间害怕走路的。
为什么这么快就下定论?因为太害怕跌倒了。
反应不需要那么大的,因为这只是显示自己还多么在乎。这才让我恍然大悟,自己并为彻底从失败中站起来。之前认为的自在快乐,是非常表面,那么轻易被识破的。
这一次,还真的需要好好面对它,真正地去处理它。
只是害怕收不回,只是害怕体会。
这么无常的东西,我还需要紧紧抓着不放,我还需要渴求吗?看到了那无常的变化,这一个事实,我还需要拼命不去相信吗?
这个东西,需要经过伤痕累累,需要经过努力搏斗,也未必能争取到的。
这个东西,就是爱情。
伤痕累累,我没有问题,但我就是害怕体会这一份痛。
努力搏斗,我也没有问题,但我就是害怕体会失败的滋味。
我需要的是怎样的,适合什么的,自己也搞不懂了,也好像没有办法去搞懂,也好像不太重要了。
害怕体会,还真的阻碍了自己许多。。。
“Vincent” and Vincent
I think I knew Vincent, he is finding something meant for him and very important to his life purpose.
The love story of Vincent, which I knew, that I would remember the most from the sincere sharing, in a starry starry night. With gentle wind blowing, with the words from his deep heart, with his blue colored emotion, the calm Vincent is drinking hot coffee, told me the love story when he was young enough to be in the love drain.
I feel his bleeding heart, the fragile heart of a man, but he hides it carefully. He might in a suffering and he is trying so hard to set himself free from all these struggles in the drain.
If Vincent is a little girl, that would be easy for me. A bouquet of light pink roses and a starry starry night can cheer a girl up, but not for Vincent.
“Vincent” dedicated to Vincent, with bunch of blessings and wishes for him, he will breathe the fresh air with comfort someday. In fact, Vincent should know, fresh air is only for happy mankind.
Vincent tasted the beauty of happiness, and perhaps this is the important treasure that he has been chasing all the time. Happiness can be in many colors. He is holding the paint brush to color his own life.
He did not paint everything to show me his color. I am able to complete the rest for him, because of my grey color when see him painting. Vincent may not know, grey color is empathy and understanding.
I bet Vincent will meet more strangers and passengers pass through his life, and after the remarkable month of Julius Caesar, he would be able to paint with the happiest smiling ever.
“Vincent” marks my own story, a very meaningful story that would bring me betterment in life. The longer journey I travel the better taste of happiness I can experience. I know this, and Vincent as well. It is always worth to waste some times to taste the happiness deeply.
Believing in Vincent, he would be able to taste the beautifulness of life. We will meet again at a starry starry night and share the colors of our own life.
Again, listening to “Vincent” at this starry starry night, and write this up with the inspiration.
Thanks to “Vincent” and Vincent, for this nice inspiration ever.

”Vincent”
By Don McLean
Starry, starry night
Paint your palette blue and grey,
Look out on a summer’s day,
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul,
Shadows on the hills,
Sketch the trees and daffodils,
Catch the breeze and the winter chills,
In colors on the snowy linen land,
Now I understand,
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity,
And how you tried to set them free,
They would not listen,
They did not know how,
Perhaps they’ll listen now,
Starry, starry night,
Flaming flowers that brightly blaze,
Swirling clouds and violet haze,
Reflect in Vincent’s eyes of china blue,
colors changing hue,
Morning fields of amber grain,
Weathered faces lined in pain,
Are soothed beneath the artists’ loving hand,
Now I understand,
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity,
And how you tried to set them free ,
They would not listen,
They did not know how,
Perhaps they’ll listen now,
For they could not love you,
But still your love was true,
And when no hope was left inside,
On that starry, starry night,
You took your life as lovers often do,
But I could have told you Vincent,
This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you,
Starry starry night,
Portraits hung in empty halls,
Frameless heads on nameless walls,
With eyes that watch the world and can’t forget.
Like the strangers that you’ve met,
The ragged men in ragged clothes,
The silver thorn of bloody rose,
Lie crushed and broken on the virgin snow,
Now I think I know,
What you tried to say to me,
And how you suffered for your sanity,
And how you tried to set them free,
They would not listen,
They’re not listening still,
Perhaps they never will…
