thoughts
i agree there are millions of disatisfaction within the border. sometimes i m really mad at it, even sometimes i wanna be out of it, but means selected.
above all, before the seventeenth summer, it's put behind me.
until then, a quite big insect which was going to cross over the border, came to me and seemed to stay with me before the crossing.
unfortunately to it, my veins never like to be with an insect.
the weather's getting hot and wet, then the insect would like to be my pet. oh, pet insect... how can i keep it like a cat that i m fond of? absolutely not. at least time told it.

Call it a "predestined opportunity," Buddhism, which preaches equality, benevolence and harmony, is being endorsed and encouraged to contribute to a harmonious world and a peaceful society.
Two millennia after it came to China, the religion marked a milestone in its development with the first World Buddhism Forum convened in the coastal province of Zhejiang.
The four-day gathering from April 13-16 brought 1,000 monks, nuns and scholars from at least 30 countries and regions to Hangzhou and Zhoushan, two scenic cities known for their Buddhist legacies dating back more than 1,000 years.
Sponsored by the Buddhist Association of China and the China Religious Cultural Communication Association, the meeting was dedicated to the theme of "A harmonious world begins in the heart," and concluded with a Putuoshan Declaration.
"Everyone is responsible for world harmony, which begins in the heart," the declaration said.
It called for efforts to strive for a situation where family is in concord, society is in harmony and the world is peaceful.
The religion's core values were underscored at the gathering as participants highlighted the Buddhist teachings of striving for freedom from greed, anger and ignorance, and of promoting harmony and peace in the world.
In particular, delegates said Buddhist teachings, including the Five Commandments of "no killing, no stealing, no sexual misconduct, no lying and no intoxicating," could help heal a world harmed by terrorism, ecological and moral degradation.
Government and non-governmental organization officials also joined in the pious discussions at the forum.
Liu Yandong, a senior official of the nation's top political advisory body, said that in addition to the efforts of governments, religious communities could also play an active role in building a harmonious world.
The forum provided a venue for high-level dialogue and exchanges of ideas on Buddhism's "positive role" in the cause of building a harmonious world, to promote social harmony, safeguard world peace and enhance human welfare, she said at the forum's opening ceremony.
"It is indeed an event of 'boundless beneficence'," said Liu, vice-chairwoman of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference.
In fact, Buddhism has been interwoven with the Chinese tradition of peace and harmony, according to Liu.
"The Buddhist teachings are brimmed with thoughts of peace and harmony, and its advocacy of compassion, wisdom and equality is closely related to harmony, peace and amiability," she said.
Buddhist practitioners have long held that a purified mind contributes to a purified territory, a tranquil mind contributes to a happy life and a calm mind contributes to a peaceful world.
Liu also said internal peace can lead to favourable external relations.
Advocacy of harmony and peace is inherent in the Chinese mentality, and has shone through the whole development of Chinese culture, she said.
For example, China's ancient sages had established the value of "harmony being the most precious in the world" and expounded on the philosophical thinking of "harmony but not uniformity," she said.
The idea of "harmony" is not only deeply rooted in the Chinese nation, but is respected and acclaimed by many nations in the world, and held in high esteem by renowned thinkers around the globe, Liu said.
Although peace and development are still a predominant theme in today's world, they are increasingly challenged by worsening environmental problems, widening wealth gaps, wars and crimes, Liu said.
By stressing that "a harmonious world begins in the heart," the forum is a telling example of the Buddhist community's attention to the well-being of people and society. It would promote all walks of life, including religious circles, to contribute to world harmony, she said.
Qi Xiaofei, secretary-general of the China Religious Culture Communication Association, said Buddhism is regarded by the government as being more closely related to Chinese traditions and has a deeper influence on the Chinese public.
With around 100 million followers in China, Buddhism is a major religion in the country.
All three Buddhist sects Chinese, Tibetan and Pali co-exist peacefully in China.
The 11th Panchen Lama, Bainqen Erdini Qoigyijabu, a high-ranking living Buddha of China's Tibetan branch of Buddhism, also addressed the forum, his debut at an international event.
He told the forum: "Defending the nation and working for the people is a solemn commitment Buddhism has made to the nation and society."
佛谓之‘缘分’，它即将为世界做出一些努力，维护世界的和谐、和平，体现它主张平等、仁爱、和谐的思想。
在沿海省份浙江举行的第一届世界佛教论坛，成为佛教传入中国2000年后的一个里程碑。
论坛从4月13日到16日，持续4天，在拥有1000多年佛教文化遗产的城市杭州和舟山举行。论坛吸引了来自30多个国家和地区的1000多位佛教人士和学者前来参加。
这次论坛由中国佛教协会和中国宗教文化交流协会联合主办，主题为‘和谐世界，从心开始’，并在论坛上联合发表了《普陀山宣言》。
宣言提到‘世界和谐，人人有责’，要共同努力组织和睦家庭、和谐社会以及和平世界。
正如与会者所信奉的一样，佛教的核心思想强调抛弃贪婪、愤怒和无知，促进世界的和谐与和平。
当今世界被恐怖活动、生态污染和道德倒退等问题祸害，要挽救它，就要借助佛教的五戒思想：不杀生，不偷盗，不邪淫，不妄语，不饮酒。
政府官员和非官方组织人员也参加了虔诚信众们的讨论。
中国政协会议全国委员会副主席liu yan dong说到，构建和谐世界，除了政府作出努力，宗教交流也具有它的独特作用。
论坛上，各方进行了高层次对话和交流，涉及到佛教在构建和谐世界、维护世界和平和提高社会福利中的“积极作用”。
刘说：“这是一件‘跨国界的善行’”。实际上，佛教思想早已融合在中国倡导和平和谐的传统中。 “佛教思想主张和平和谐、怜悯、智慧、平等，这正与社会和谐友善的目标非常接近。”
佛教禅语：心净则国土净，心安则众生安，心平则天下平。
内心的和平有利于建立友好的人际关系。和谐的主张是中国传统思想的固有特质，它始终贯穿着整个华夏文化的发展。举例说，中国古代圣贤肯定了“和为贵”的价值，并对哲学思想“和非合”作了详细的解析。
“和谐”的主张不仅在中国根深蒂固，也是许多国家所注重的，同时世界著名的思想家都对此表示高度赞同。
虽然和平和发展是当今世界的首要主题，但它不断受到环境恶化、贫富悬殊、战争和犯罪的无情挑衅。通过这个论坛，“和谐发展，从心开始”，宣扬佛教团体对人和社会良好发展的责任，号召全社会包括宗教团体为世界和谐发展作出努力。
中国宗教文化交流协会副会长兼秘书长齐晓飞说，政府认为佛教与中国传统文化有着紧密的联系，对中国人也有着深远的影响。
佛教是中国的主要宗教，在国内约有1亿信众。佛教的3个分支，汉族、藏族和巴利族是和平共存的。
藏传佛教界活佛第11世班禅，额尔德尼确吉杰布在论坛上发了言，这是他首次出席国际活动。他说：“佛教组织向全国和社会郑重许诺，要保卫祖国，为人民服务。”

mysterious
before i began to learn something about the 5 elements, they are strange and mysterious to me. if anyone ask whether i belive it, i would let out 'it depends', for, i knew nothing about it.
until some time, a close friend talked about the learning of it, and told some mystery keys. it's like a spark in brain. i found that i had interests in it, so much...
and now catching a corner of the iceberg, i would appropriately correct some mistakes in realization and habbits, to balance the 5 elements in me, around me, and affect me.
once something like this named 'fortune telling', never legal. but today, at least i myself, feel that less stress above the so called 'fortune telling'. it's known as 5-element theory. there're mainly several set of theories, advanced by persons of different dynasties.
yesterday, i smoke more than usual. then, today i found 3 of my fish has gone. why, cos fire burns water out! my love star is gold, and 2004 is the year of gold. then i met some chasers. but i didn't know at that time, and just let them pass... so sad...
although i know something about it, but the god is ever watches on us, decides results.
谋事在人，成事在天呀～
