it's funny to see your post when this has been said many times in sutra in experiences in zen...but it's good for you to finally listen...

and it's interesting to see others who rather spent the money to see someone talked about it rather than to realize it...

and that it's FREE for self-realization...hehe...interesting...

早安～～～

我其实不是很同意演讲者的观点。但我很喜欢她关于identity的论述。。。寻求identity给人们带来痛苦，因为identity是世人定义的，而不是真正的自我。。。不知佛教里是如何解释放弃自我的。。。

ntang99: 你提的问题是个庞大的题目，很难说清楚的。。。。我只能提一个真的故事

最近学画，常想起一个3年前认识的一个女孩（也30出头了），她很爱画画，父母不同意，还要她选了热门的外语系

她也考上了一流的大学，可是，不快乐

她的快乐就是，有时间的时候就画画。。。

如果，她读了美术系，今天也许同样平凡，不过，是快乐的平凡...

因为画画的时候，她才能放下别人眼中的自己。。。

ntang99: i will answer you later...been swamped lately

ntang99: identity? she only speaks about self and oneness...where did you get the identity? or did i miss it? what min and sec?

放弃自我 in Buddhism is hard to explain; thus, it needs to you to realize it through meditation...

in reality, nothing is explainable because everything coexists at the same time

thus, it only confuses a person enormous through explanation; for example, how do you feel when i tell you, One for All is not All for One

but All for One is One for All

if you understand this, then you know what I mean...

also, life is impermanent...as she puts it, thing is NOT CONSTANT...

in Nature, people try to characterize species and put them into group...thus, this creates individuality and self

in Reality, they have to coexist in this Nature to serve their purposes..otherwise, they will not survive alone if you move them out of area

in our Body, we need bacteria to help us cleanse our intestine and we need vaccine to help us prevent getting sick...

but how many people think bacteria and virus are good?

in our Community, if we are rich, famous, and popular, we would always think that only those people who belong to the same class would match

all others are nobody; at least, they won't match us because they are not educated and they are not wealthy

this is only self-perspective but not oneness

thus, if you want to understand Buddhism aspect, you need to understand what I just pointed out

b/c Buddhist teaching is even more profound than what i just mentioned, and I am just a small potato and infant for this teaching

谢谢你的解释，虽然我越看越糊涂。。。有机会一定请你喝咖啡，喝什么并不重要。。。好好聊聊，聊什么并不重要。。。看看电影也行，看什么并不重要。。。
