知足是幸福

詞/曲/編曲:許俊華 唱:李佳寧
圖片搜集:正奇^^

多少人在今天見不到明天的太陽，
多少人在今天已成了殘疾。
多少人在今天要面對饑荒，
多少人在今天已失去了家。

還活著是種幸福，有健康是份禮物。
飽暖時要懂知足，有家歸應感滿足。
要知足才會幸福，會隨緣路更好走。
順境時不起貪念，逆境時不起憎恚。

多少人在今天見不到明天的太陽，
多少人在今天已成了殘疾。
多少人在今天要面對饑荒，
多少人在今天已失去了家。

人生本來就是苦，不知足只會增加痛苦。
最後總會發現，原來平凡就是幸福。
還活著是種幸福，有健康是份禮物。
飽暖時要懂知足，有家歸應感滿足。

要知足才會幸福，會隨緣路更好走。
果報現隨遇而安，種善果念彌陀。
知足就是幸福。

生气时，听一听

生氣就是拿別人的錯誤來處罰自己~~靜思語



生气时 让时间停一停
不要讓他人的錯醜化了自己
想一想 生氣的時候
受傷的不只是他人 也傷害了自己

如果你 靜一靜 觀照你內心
他人的惡語 或許是自己 惡念的顯現
就把它 掏出來 讓它遠離自己
心中存感激 是因為菩薩教你 內心更堅強 ~~~~

不怕 不要愁
反而當下沉默想一想
去愛他 祝福他
願他遠離生氣的煩惱

陳國榮 － 有用的人

动力火车 - 我吃得起苦

Another motivating song to spur us to move on.



走出去就有路
寻见了 就有福
拥有了一切 都进了包袱
思念是带不走的

天空 疑云密布
心中 翻腾起伏
虽将飘摇 前途仍模糊
此地会是我 衣锦还乡处

飘洋过海 我吃得起苦
相信天无绝人之路
现实有咒诅 梦里有祝福
有缘同舟 风雨共渡

顶着烈日当空 眼底有迷雾
不能再让懦弱困住
日子多坎坷 命运有变数
只盼久旱逢甘露

童安格 - 生命過客

This is another old song which I like it very much in the past. Very meaningful words. Cherish the moments.



1990年新加坡電視劇《出人頭地》主題曲，童安格主唱，收錄在1990年出版的【真愛是誰】專輯。

童安格 -《生命過客》
曲﹕李偉菘 / 李偲菘
詞﹕卡斯

在擁擠的街頭　你在忙碌的追求什麼
在孤寂的角落　你知道失去的越多
在擁有的角落　你是否曾經好好珍惜
在失去的時候　是否依然那麼在意

一生要失敗幾回　才知道成功的意義
一生要愛過幾回　才了解愛的真諦

一生要失敗幾回　啊
愛的真諦　愛的真真諦
一生要失敗幾回　才知道成功的意義　哦

新摇 - 锦绣年华

词：邢增华／陈佳明
曲：巫启贤

　　没有什么可以取代梦和追求
　　心中没有空间留下恨和忧愁
　　每一天都是一生的起点
　　不在于理想离我多遥远
　　最珍惜在过程中一点点的实现

　＊没有什么可以取代爱和自由
　　我不需要学会怎样侵占和拥有
　　不一定富有才等于成就
　　别以为不变就能够长久
　　有什么它可以永远不变
　　永远都为你停留

＊＊不老的心　不老的梦
　　不老的青春不能感觉痛
　　不老的心　不老的梦
　　谁都想拥有彩色的天空
　　锦绣年华天天有梦
　　请不要让黑夜占领你金色的梦＊

黃譓禎 巫啟賢 - 邂逅

This is a very old song. Meaningful lyrics and beautiful photos. I think these days difficult to find such sentimental and senic wordings for a song. Maybe in the past, people can really sit down and willing to spend time to appreciate the beauty of the nature.



入暮的山途獨有我行
落紅鏗然顯凄清
低吟起那幽陰的歌
歌聲抖出了蕭索

歌韻隱隱飄蕩入我波心
牽引我山游覓覓尋
邂逅你炯瑩的星眸
顫動我翩翩入夢

恆古雋永美麗的神話
莫非已降臨此剎那
默望長空我深深祈禱
愿剎那化永恆典雅

陶喆 蔡依林 - 今天你要嫁给我

理想婚礼的浪漫冲景因该是多数女孩子想梦，美满的婚姻因该是多数夫妻的理想吧。 有时太过浪漫会觉得太漂浮，有时太提调，又觉得生活太过乏味。所以我们需要平衡，做到能够调情，又很踏实的一起生活，教育下一代。这就是最好又美满的婚姻。

Can't find the original David Tao and Jolin Tse MTV, but found this maplestory wedding ceremony instead. It is quite nicely done and it is cute video.

卓文萱 小鬼 - 愛的主旋律

很梦幻的MTV

陳綺貞 五月天 - 私奔到月球

這一刻 不再問為什麼 不再去猜測人和人 心和心 有什麼不同

田馥甄 - 我真的受傷了

The original singer was sang by Jacky Cheung. I like this female unplug version, sang by Hebe. Very soothing feeling.

蘇打綠 - 小情歌

I like the illustrations on the background. Nice！

蔡旻佑 - 我可以

当一切美好的时候，听这首歌是幸福的。
当一切已过去时，听这首歌有一点凄凉。
或许与你在一起的时光已经过去了，只留下一种感慨。爱越深，心越痛。但我不会因为怕痛而不敢再去爱。这叫做越战越勇吧。如果有一天，真的让我遇到一个真心爱我的人，我会再一次奋不顾身的去爱他。

Love Takes Time

Heard this emotional, healing song from Mariah Carey on the radio. It is indeed that love takes time to heal the wound and pains that we have. I feel that I am recovering from the heartbreaking pain in my heart. Letting go of the past romance is really what I need to do and I'm doing it well. Thank myself for allowing to love again :)



Love Takes Time Lyrics
Performed by Mariah Carey

I had it all
But I let it slip away
Couldn't see I treated you wrong
Now I wander around
Feeling down and cold
Trying to believe that you're gone

Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone

Losing my mind
From this hollow in my heart
Suddenly I'm so incomplete
Lord I'm needing you now
Tell me how to stop the rain
Tears are falling down endlessly

Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be here
I don't wanna be here alone

You might say that it's over
You might say that you don't care
You might say you don't miss me
You don't need me
But I know that you do
And I feel that you do
Inside

Love takes time
To heal when you're hurting so much
Couldn't see that I was blind
To let you go
I can't escape the pain
Inside
'Cause love takes time
I don't wanna be there
I don't wanna be there alone

Guardian Angel

Was listening to "花样少男少女" soundtrack. Quite a nice album. The favourite song is "专属天使" sing by Tank, nice music with meaningful words. The words stand out from the music in the song... I prefer the sentimental songs as they evoke more feelings.





Let me be someone's Guardian Angel and protect him with my life.

Happen to listen to this song from the radio. I heard tonight is the Supermoon night, very suitable to listen to this lovely song. Where the moon is much closer to the Earth. Maybe can view it tonight if I am outside.

Overcoming Tough Times

On this eve's of Vesak day, I would like to share my experience with depression. I would try my best to recall what have really happened at that point in time, so that people understand what depression is about and how do we recover from it and most importantly, we prevent depression.

Depression is more than feeling down or being sad. Depression may affect your work, interest in activities and quality of life. It is not a sign of weakness and it does not just 'go away'. Depression is a medical condition that affects hwo you think, behave and the way you feel and function. It is one of the most common mental health problems and is faced by 121 million people worldwide. Depression can happen to anyone.

When I did my research about depression, I was shocked to find out that 1 out of 10 people suffered from depression in Singapore. In Singapore, an estimate 5.6% of the population are affected by depression during their lifetime. 5.6% x 5 million people = 280, 000 Women have relatively higher rate of occurrence of depression than men. The sex ratio is 2 : 1. In females, depression is more common in the married than single woman. Woman with 3 or more children below age of 14 are more at risk. In males, the unemployed, divorced are more likely to be depressed.

Challenging life events can increase the risk of depression especially when we find it difficult to cope with them. Some of the life stressors that can increase the risk of depression may include: - Relationship problems - Financial difficulties - Physcial illnesses - Unemployment - Lack of Support - Loss of loved one

For my case, I had depression is due to my own ignorance. I attended AsiaWorks Personal Development Course. After the course, I was confused and lost. My boyfriend who I known for 2 years, brought me to the Mental Hospital for consultation. I was fearful and helpless because I saw people suffered inside. One auntie was screaming and shouting. Another auntie was being tied up by the nurse. I was shouted at an impatient nurse. I shouted back at her because I feel that I do not deserved such treatment. I wanted to leave the Mental Hospital, but the regulation of the hospital doesn't allow until I have see the psychiatrist. Thankfully, I behaved myself and my family helped me to talked to the psychiatrist. They finally allow me to leave the hospital.

Even I left the hospital, my thoughts just got hay wired. Fear, confusion, guilt, hatred, anger arosed. I consistently thinking about those useless thoughts, lack of energy, I unabled to make a even simple decision. Full of doubts and judgements, I couldn't utter a word. I felt I was mentally paralysed. My family and friends were very worried. Then a well known psychiatrist gave me a jab, let me slept deeply and gave me medication. It is called antidepressants. They help to regulate mood and can only prescribed by a doctor. I took the mediation for half a year. I felt better at least I didn't think that much. However, it slows down my thinking process. I unable to think as fast as before.

During my depression, I did experience some of the sympytoms indicate here. - Persistent sadness or emptiness - Loss of interest in all or almost all activities - Decrease or increase in appetite drastically - Difficult in sleeping or sleeping excessively - Restlessness or feeling agitated - Fatigue and lacking in energy - Difficulty concentrating or having trouble thinking and making decisions - Frequent thoughts of death or suicide - Doubts about onself worthiness

I became addicted to my bed and slept alot. Now, I think back, I believe it is a way to protect myself from these painful experiences. I do not want to face it and I was not prepare to face it. I lost my appetite and lack of energy. I was lifeless.

I attended Dharma Teacher, Shen Shi An's courses. I remembered my first class, he shared with me was life is suffering. Yes, I felt the suffering part indeed. Teacher Shi An also shared with me about Nian Fo to be mindful of the Buddha. Despite, I was truly sufferring during that time, I Nian Fo diligently daily. For about 3 months, I really see results of my own mental health. I feel more calm and peaceful.

Thankfully, I decided to pickup myself up again. Since I wake up as early as 5am in the morning, I make sure I do something beneficial for my body. I started to go to the park. The beginning was like a torture to me, dragging myself to the park. However, my body started to get use to the fresh air and looking at the greenery makes myself happier and lighter.

I did tear in front of Guan Yin Bodhisattva's birthday before. Because I just felt the moment of helpless feeling again. I told Bodhisattva：“我真的没有办法了。。。我真的没有办法了。。。”And I cry and cry. Amazingly after crying, I felt so much better and relieve.

After that somehow I see some light. I know that since I can't make any decisions, in order to help myself and gain clarity, I started to write the things that I want to do or at least I know I can do. I accomplished small things at the pace that I feel comfortable with. Slowly day by day, I feel that I am getting healthier, more energetic and positive towards life. Most importantly, getting confident with myself again.

I really thank the Buddha, Bodhisattvas, Dharma teachers who have been helping me along these tough times. I remembered these words very strongly.

Buddha words: How well have you live and how well have you forgive and how well have you let go. Strive on with diligence.

Guan Yin Bodhisattva's words: As long as you continue to strive on with what you wanted to do, you can achieve what you want.

Ajahn Brahm's words: Failures are learning experiences and they are the juiciest part of life and that is how we learn and grow.

Shen Shi An's words: To be angry is to let others' mistakes punish us. It becomes your mistake, that you cling to for no good reason. What have you learn?

Thank you, my spiritual teachers! I really appreciate their kind words and teaching. I have release the feeling of anger, upset, hatred, guilt, disappointment, fear. I am thankful that I am well and fully recovered. May my parents and friends be free from mental and physcial suffering. May the patients of the Mental Health Hospital be free from mental suffering. Happy Vesek Day. Amituofo.
