打破“自我”“執著”的羁绊

“我”这一个字看似很平凡, 但一点都不间单. 想想如下… “我的想法最有道理”, “我的话是对的”, “我做的事最为正确”, 因此, 别人应该跟着“我”. “我懂得较多”, “我最了解”, “我在现场, 我亲眼看到, 我亲耳听到”, 因此, “我”肯定不会错. “我与他的性格不同”, “我与他的想法也不同”, “我跟他谈不来”, “我跟他很难配合”, 因此, “我”无法与对方合作.

这些都是过于執著于“我”的例子. 结果, 无法体现”无我”, “大我”的精神,也因而失去了”慈悲”的心, “平等”的心, 接着就产生了”分别”的心. 比如年龄, 性别, 学历, 职业, 职位, 权力等的差别, 最终变得难以了解对方的立场, 难以理解对方的感受, 更不用说为对方设想. 人与人之间的争执由此而来, 各种各样的烦恼也因而产生了.

人一旦執著于“我”, 智慧就会被阻塞, 思维变得狭隘和封闭. 为了“我”这个面子, 变得短视, 偏见和独断, 难以接受别人的意见. 为争“我”的一口气, 变得一意孤行,失去理智, 不顾他人的感受, 生命被“恶”所支配, 对事物和问题的处理也就形成恶的循环了.

“别人要讲, 让他讲”这句话看似平庸间单, 却蕴含做人处世的大学问. 让别人有充分的机会讲话, 聆听对方的意见, 是了解对方内心世界与立场的最佳方法, 然而, 自我的人就难以做到这一点. 这是基本的礼仪, 即使是激烈的言词, 也可心平气和地聆听, 让对方有机会倾诉心里话, 这不仅反映本身具有自信, 也表现个人所拥有的宽大胸襟与雅量.

面对眼前的大时代, 必须深透了解组织里的人的心声, 见解, 才能集思广益, 取长补短, 并迎合时代, 为组织找出新的方向. 假如坚持己见, 无法容纳别人, 那组织里必产生争执, 不能和蔼与安定.

对于年轻与年长者之间的关系也是一样, 年长者应关怀年轻者, 竭尽所能培育和提携他们. 而年轻者则必须尊重长辈, 绝不能因本身可能受教育程度比较高, 或能掌握现代的电脑科技等知识而看轻长辈.池田SGI会长也时常提醒年轻者: “不知报恩的人犹如畜生”.

能真诚欣赏和称赞别人也是一种美德. 这是出于对别人的真正了解, 尊重, 钦佩和珍惜之心, 不是虚伪或奉承做假.

人要获得别人的欣赏和赞扬, 本身要有实力和业绩的表现. 宇宙万物, 都需要经历一段长时间才形成, 如大河是由许多小河汇集才成大河, 高楼大厦也是由一砖一瓦而筑成的.

有的人喜欢显耀自己, 时而“标新立异”, 以让别人认为他很英明, 能干. 事实上, 这种虚娇和自傲, 有识者一望即知.

由于不实, 这种人往往思考欠缺周详, 得娇柔做作, 犯了错误也不敢承担, 试图掩饰和隐瞒, 说话也前后矛盾, 久而久之, 必被人识穿而失去信赖, 最后所得的是虚名. 为了要争取荣誉, 一边得花费心机, 采用种种手段,另一边又得掩饰自己的错误, 结果“心”无法安定, 始终被烦恼所纠缠着.

靠虚娇而得到的荣誉, 看似如彩虹般美丽, 但却如昙花一现, 乍间消失.

唯有脚踏实地, 默默努力耕耘而取得的扎实成果, 才会受人欣赏和称赞, 真正的荣誉才会由此建立起来.

处于越高职位的人, 越应慎防不被别人个人崇拜, 本身更不能自我制造让人崇拜的机会. 因为盲目地崇拜一个人是不好, 会成为潜伏在团对里的危机.

团对就像一个交响乐团, 在各部平等和充分地发挥, 紧密配合下, 才能演奏出美妙及和谐的乐章.

以“自我”为中心, 執著于“自我”的人, 很难会做到“放下”, 特别是名和权力. 然而, 能够“放下”的人, 才是真正能承担大事的人.

Now and Today

Now, this present moment,
Linking the eternal past
And the eternal future,
Is the transformation point
Of all causes and effects.

It is therefore crucial
That we win each and ervery day
Where we are right now!
In our communities,
In our workplaces,
In our homes.

Today again it is important
That we advance another step
In our efforts at dialogue
To plant the seeds of happiness
Deep in the life
of one person after another.

Excerpts from “Let the Bells of the
People’s Victory Ring Out Far and Wide!”

A poem written by Daisaku Ikeda

爱莫能助

曾我说过,每个人始终是一个生命个体,
有自己的路,有自己的责任,
别人就算多亲也好,有时候也会帮不上忙,
那句说话叫爱莫能助。
我想身为朋友的,我只能做到这里。

from 「黄伟文录」

學會珍惜才懂寬恕

忘了在哪看到這些文字:“寬恕別人是不容易做到的,寬恕親人就更加困難。其實,寬恕與仇恨只是一念之差。若選擇前者,雙方皆可重生;若選擇後者,則會一世充滿怨懟。”

是啊!寬恕與仇恨只是一念之間。就如“幸福可以很容易,只要改變想法。”那樣,天堂與地獄亦是轉念間。

有些人與事,因被誤解、摩擦,而遭受不平待遇,滿腔忿懣無法釋懷,甚至怨恨,不想再見。

當我遇到這樣的人與事時,在下意識裡,希望腦中有塊橡皮擦可即時發揮效用,把不想記取的不愉快過往擦去。實際上,如梭的歲月也會漸漸的淡化局部記憶,而我已懂得選擇把不要的回憶放掉……

像我這種不夠圓滑、不懂得玩“變臉”的人,不習慣周旋於難相處和前面對你嬉笑,背後對你插刀的人之中,唯有採取“相見不如懷念”的方式,讓彼此有更廣闊的空間,更多的自由。
在看完韓劇《擁抱這分鐘》之後,我的內心更是充滿感慨和共鳴:只要懂得珍惜所擁有,只要騰出一點點胸襟,那麼,寬恕一個人真的不是那麼難。

《擁抱這分鐘》正是提倡珍惜現在、寬恕對方的愛情倫理故事。這包括了家庭恩怨和親情隔閡,詮釋出寬恕別人或親人的道理。尤其講述女主角婚前的任性莽行獲得父母原諒,一家人可融洽再享天倫。而男主角則因幼年時被母親遺棄,痛恨母親的冷酷無情,自己也伴著怨恨成長。後來妻子一句話點醒了他:“寬恕別人,也等於放過自己。”最後男主角終於體諒、寬恕了母親,把心中怨恨轉為無盡的愛,開始珍惜世上唯一的至親。

看戲非只為找娛樂尋消遣,而是要從中受益,比如一些戲中所談的人生哲學,我會嘗試領悟並實踐於生活中。

所以,誤解我或對不起我的人,今天我無法即刻原諒你,但明天我會嘗試寬恕你,因為我將比你更懂得珍惜每一天。

保存香水,我有辦法

香水你用我塗,舊瓶未盡,新瓶又來。喜新厭舊乃人之常情,與其忍痛別過新出爐的香水,倒不如學習如何正確保存已有香水,當一位懂得欣賞亦會珍惜香水的收藏人。

香水保存方法

1. 避免變質
香水一般分為冷艷和清香兩種。香水或古龍水一旦開封使用後,在正確保存的情況下,壽命頂多維持3至5年。由於香水使用的香料,對外在物質相當敏感,保存時要非常小心,首先不得和空氣接觸,每一次使用後須將蓋子蓋好,此舉不但可避免酒精成份蒸發,也可防止空氣中的氧將香水氧化繼而導致變質。
2. 避免陽光照射
香水不可擺放在陽光直射的地方,以免在強烈光線照射下,導致香味及顏色產生變化。最好的方法是,每天使用過後,蓋好瓶蓋放回盒子裡,再放置在陽光照射不到的抽屜中。
3. 使用保鮮膜
為防止香水產生激烈的溫度變化,短時期不用的香水,可以用保鮮膜包好,再放進溫度變化小的冰箱中,但儘量避免受到食物的影響。至於未開瓶者,也應細心存放在日光和溫度變化較小的陰涼處。
香水和香精有何不同?

香精(Parfum)︰濃度為15~25%,香氣持續5~7小時,適合夜晚外出、或赴宴會等正式場合使用。

香水(eau de Parfum)︰濃度為10~15%,香氣持續5小時左右,適合白天的宴會或是外出使用。

淡香水(eau de Toilette)︰濃度為5~10%,香氣持續約3~4小時,上班及日常使用都很適宜。

古龍水(edude Cologne)︰濃度為3~5%,香氣持續約1~2小時,一般是在沐浴後或是運動前使用。

使用香水6秘訣

秘訣1︰貼身接觸
香水直接接觸肌膚,身體的溫熱會使香氣蒸騰繚繞,更顯魅力。

秘訣2︰少量多處
均勻而淡薄的香氣,帶來的是若有若無的朦朧之美,耳根、手肘內側、膝蓋內側是用香水的佳處。

秘訣3︰傾聽香語
香水有語言有品性,每一種香水都有自己獨特的品位。“毒藥”,是桃花香水,性感、嫵媚、多姿、妖嬈;“沙丘”,是蔥郁自然的綠色植物型香氣,生命氣息撲面而來,猶如身臨其境於碧海藍天之中;“鴉片”是經典的中性香氣,集男人的精明幹練、成熟灑脫和女人的清香於一體,默默地散發著永不褪色的愛情。

秘訣4︰依時而變
香水的用量要與時令配合。晴日裡,香水會比溫度低的日子濃烈;雨天或濕氣重的日子,香水較收斂持久。另外,溫暖的天氣宜用幽雅襲有的香型,大熱天最好用清淡兼提神的香型,冷天則可選用溫馨、濃厚的香水。

秘訣5︰切合環境
香水如時裝能起到烘雲托月的效果,因而不同的環境需用不同的香水。上班時用的香水宜清淡優雅,晚宴或聚會時可選用濃烈的香水。隨身攜帶的香水瓶一定要精緻小巧,金屬電鍍口紅香水瓶適合於配亮麗高雅的時裝,玻璃瓶晶瑩透明,適合休閑服飾。

秘訣6︰甜蜜伴夢
香水如花香一樣具有鎮靜有安撫精神的作用,玫瑰、柑橘花、薰衣草、茉莉等都是催眠效果極佳的植物,將以此為主要原料的香水,滴二三滴在腳上與手腕之上或耳根之後再入睡,能使你的夢更香甜。

選香水4禁忌
1. 切忌一“嗅”鐘情,因為香水接觸肌膚後散發的氣味是初調,只會維持10分鐘左右,隨後的中調和基調才是持續伴隨你的香氣,所以不要在10分鐘內下決心。
2. 別人身上的幽香,不一定適合你,因為每個人的膚質、體溫、習慣都不同,與香水產生的化學作用當然也不會一樣。
3. 身體某處若噴了香水,就不適宜又在身體其他其他部位再噴香水來測試,因為道理簡單不過,太多香味混合在一起,你還能正確分辨嗎?
4. 選擇香味時,不能同時超過3款香水,否則你肯定無法正確感覺出香氣。

你们会向往这样的婚礼吗?

在中国谈恋爱。1978年前整整十年,年轻人公开的约会被视为是可耻和堕落,他们只能用谈工作为由进行地下活动,情书的开头一定要称呼某某同志,结尾也一定是革命的敬礼,但在这一年,爱情开始与阶级感情稍稍分开,恋人们手拉着手逛公园,轧马路,恋爱终于还给它本来的面目。



***恋爱始终是人与人之间的关系。发自最内心的感受。革命不因该把它囚禁起来。
“恋爱革命”,谢谢把恋爱原貌还原。

冬天是蟲,夏天是草

是寄生型生物。它是珍貴中藥材。它就是『冬天是蟲,夏天是草』的冬蟲夏草,學名為Cordyceps Sinensis,是一種寄生於昆蟲內之真菌的通稱。此類真菌在冬天以昆蟲為寄主,逐漸把昆蟲的本體吸收,以產生自己的菌絲,最後在夏季成熟並破蟲而出。因為在外觀上就猶如蟲中有草,草鑲蟲中,所以又稱蟲草,目前的蟲草品種共有400多種。

野生蟲草多生長在海拔4000公尺的高原上,所以野生蟲草的原產地是位於中國的青海、西藏高原。因為野生蟲草數量稀少,採集困難,所以蟲草一直是皇宮御用珍貴的中藥材。隨著人工培植技術的發達,科學家已經可以用野生蟲草菌絲培植出人工蟲草,同時所培植出來的人工蟲草所含有的有效成份與野生蟲草一致。這也顯示冬蟲夏草已經卸下其尊貴的身份,逐漸平民化了!

本草綱目記載,冬蟲夏草具有滋肺陰、補腎陽。滋肺陰包括保護呼吸器官,免於感染、減輕氣喘及改善咳嗽。補腎陽則包括調節荷爾蒙分泌及新陳代謝、強化性功能,預防陽痿、改善更年期症候群、抵抗慢性疲勞、增強體能及恢復精力。冬蟲夏草能夠抗疲勞、增強體能、強化性功能,主要是來自於本身所含的特殊營養素。冬蟲夏草含有人體所需的21種氨基酸及蛋白質、蟲草素、蟲草多醣、甘露糖醇、維生素B1、B2、B12、E及K、稀有礦物質、必需脂肪酸及固醇類(有助於性功能)。這些綜合性的營養素使冬蟲夏草在人體展現無以比擬的滋補、調養的功效。

冬蟲夏草的功能
1. 改善老年人及體質虛弱者的固有體質,恢復活力及精力。
2. 蟲草素可調養病人體質,尤其是癌症病人。
3. 提升對工作、環境等壓力的耐受能力。
4. 改善運動員的體能及耐力,增加心肺功能指數及體內的帶氧量,並使疲勞迅速恢復。
5. 冬蟲夏草能夠增加體內雄性荷爾蒙分泌,對於男性可促進性活力。
6. 能夠調節性器官、下視丘、腦下垂體的荷爾蒙分泌,對於女性冬蟲夏草可改善更年期症候群。
7. 改善B型肝炎帶原者的肝臟功能。
8. 改善睡眠品質。
9. 提升體內超氧化岐化酵素(Super-oxide Dismutase)的活性,減少體內氧化反應,降低自由基的產生。

食用注意事項
1. 對真菌類過敏的人、服用MAO抑制劑、抗凝血劑的病人,宜徵詢醫生的意見。
2. 體內會時常發生無故性出血或凝血機制有問題者,不宜食用。

59th PRIMETIME EMMY AWARD

The 59th PRIMETIME EMMY AWARD was on SUNDAY. What is the EMMY?? It’s to honour those that work in the small screen... Somewhat like the Oscars but this is more for TV...
The question lies in who WEAR what and who WIN what??

So who was the biggest winner of the night???
“A notorious crime family, a fictional sketch-comedy show, an iconic singer and a female British detective were among the big winners at the 59th Primetime Emmy Awards, which took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles and was telecast on the Fox network. Host for the ceremony was American Idol host Ryan Seacrest.

Other highlights included a 30th anniversary tribute to a groundbreaking miniseries and a moving musical send-off to one of the most celebrated series in television history.

Among the twenty-nine categories honored, NBC topped the list with seven wins. ABC and HBO followed closely with six winged statuettes each. Combined with their awards at last Saturday’s Creative Arts Emmys, the three networks led for the year as well: HBO earned twenty-one, NBC nineteen and ABC ten. CBS, which won one award on the night, also earned a total of ten between the two shows.

The Sopranos, HBO’s acclaimed production about the travails of a New Jersey Mob boss and his intertwined biological and criminal families took the prize for Outstanding Drama Series, and 30 Rock, NBC’s look at the backstage activity at a late-night sketch-comedy show, was named Outstanding Comedy Series.

The Sopranos, the NBC special Tony Bennett: An American Classic, the AMC miniseries Broken Trail and the PBS Masterpiece Theatre production Prime Suspect: The Final Act led the recipients of multiple awards with three each.

The ABC comedy Ugly Betty took two, including Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for its star, America Ferrera. Ricky Gervais, creator and star of HBO’s Extras, took Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series.

James Spader, of ABC’s law-firm saga Boston Legal, took the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series and Sally Field, of ABC’s Brothers & Sisters, was named Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series,” FOX say in its internet review…


Congrats to those that won and sorry for the one that did not win…
to know more about the winners visit FOX.com ....

Now next to the next topic that I would want to discuss… who wear what to the EMMY??? Well lets see…
dressmakers such as Posen, Bottega Veneta, KaufmanFranco and Kevan Hall stood out.. older renowned brands such as DIOR and RALPH LAUREN also make the cut... soo which stars look the best and worst...

-Christina Aguilera pulls it off with Valentino, with Stephen Webster jewelry. Moreover she looks stunning and glamorous although she is pregnant… WOW!!! Every woman in this world is jealous of her…-

She looks va-va broom… and every gay guy would go ga-gaing over her… and to tell everyone that she has a good taste for fashion… EVERYONE LISTEN, “SHE DOES NOT HAVE A STYLIST” some girls are just born with it…-



-Felicity Huffman wore David Meister, with Martin Katz jewels. She looks stunning. Every guy would be desperate to want her. And she pulls it off. But her co-star TERI HATCHER did not do very well in pink. Soree Teri, not everyone can

with Martin Katz jewels. Although many birds were killed in the making of it, but she looks stunning… she is the only that can pull it off… altho she has four kids .. yes FOUR kids ... way to go girl… Wilhelmina will say, “you damm LUCKY BITCH.”-


-Hayden Panettiere wore Marc Bouwer, with H. Stern jewels. She looks terrible… the gown is way too huge and she looks like she gain 100pounds in one night… furthermore she is only 18… one advice for you… wear something that suits your age… dun always trust your stylist… a big NO NO for you Hayden… SORRY…-



-America Ferrera which won Best Actress in a Comedy wore Monique Lhuillier, with Martin Katz jewelry. She looks the opposite of BETTY… at least she inherits some of BETTY understanding for the world of fashion… and she looks stunning…-


-Heidi Klum wore Dior by John Galliano and a Dior clutch, with the perfect accessory, her husband Seal. She sure looks like one hot sexy MAMA…-


-Sandra Oh looks stunning in Bottega Veneta, with H. Stern jewels. She sure looks better that her co-star

炒饭前奏曲


男女之爱恨缠绵, 共谱炒饭前奏曲.

男女在唤起性欲的前奏, 个自都有大不同. 男人就像消防员, 见”火”即刻要扑灭它. 而女人就像刚起点的”火焰”一样, 需要一段时间让它越烧越猛. 通常, 这所谓的”炎热欲火”, 最终却被十万火急的消防员给浇灭了.

这是因为男女因生心理的反应有别. 若把男女比喻为机器, 男人是只有一个按钮的机器, 女人是则有多种大大小小的按钮, 需要一个接一个开启, 才能操作. 以两者相比, 男性就比较直截了当, 女性就比较难专注在情欲上的体验, 性欲会比较慢被挑起.

如果要唤起男性的性欲就比较容易, 挑摸他的性器官就行了. 但是, 挑动女人就的从她的身体外部而入, 包括抚摸她的头发, 手指, 脚等, 逐步再接触其敏感地带.

总结来说, 男人需要的是视觉刺激, 性能奏效如对方的反应, 多变化的方式, 新奇经验. 而女人需要的是浪漫气氛, 身心的亲密沟通, 附加天时, 地利, 人和的条件. 当男人和女人的性欲完全被挑起时, 一道美味的炒饭就完成了.

以上摘取于<<南洋商报>>的分享.

墨西哥的朱古力火鸡

蔡澜

墨西哥独有的朱古力火鸡,最正宗的是用火鸡来当材料,但火鸡不容易买到,用普通鸡来代替也可。
有一道国际名菜,不是甜品,用朱古力来煮的,就是墨西哥独有的朱古力火鸡了(Mole)。 -->-->最正宗的是用火鸡来当材料,但这道菜在普通家庭也烧,火鸡并非天天买得到,所以用普通鸡来代替,一点不出奇。 大家都吃朱古力鸡,墨西哥人不管是任何庆典,在生日、婚宴,甚至在葬礼上也吃朱古力鸡。 配菜方面,有米饭、豆、墨西哥薄饼、泡菜及用茄子做出来酱料,或者家有什么东西,都可拿出来佐食。 好了,我们开始来烧这道菜吧! 要准备的原料有:火鸡或鸡、洋葱(切碎)、蒜头(切碎)、猪油或粟米油、新鲜芫荽、刚爆香的芝麻和基本的盐。 辣椒是主要酱料 另外要先做好一个酱料:辣椒,如果要考究,那可得用3种特有的,分别称为Ancho、Pasilla、Mulato,但是买不到的话,任何辣椒,只要是属于灯笼椒,都可勉强用之。 在外国做这道菜,至少要买正宗的墨西哥Barra牌子朱古力,才能让墨西哥人吃出乡愁来。 除辣椒之外,还要辣椒酱,最好买墨西哥的罐头Chipotle辣椒酱。不能买到,其他辣椒酱亦行,但不可用番茄酱代替。 洋葱、蒜头、鲜番茄、无核葡萄干、磨碎的杏仁、芝麻、芫荽籽、肉桂、黑胡椒、大茴香、猪油或粟米油。 用鸡煮可缩短时间 第一个步骤是把火鸡块放进一个大锅中,加洋葱和大蒜,清水要盖过鸡块,煮个一小时,如果用鸡,则可缩短时间。 在同时,可把辣椒放在平底锅上烤一烤,取出,剥掉肉囊和种子。 把火鸡块从锅中取出,用纸擦干水份,鸡汤则可留着备用。 锅中下猪油把鸡块爆香,取出备用,将油留下。 把辣椒和上述的酱料原料都放进一个搅拌机中,打成酱状,再用剩余的猪油爆香,如果酱太稠,则可加鸡汤,这时把肉块放进锅中和酱一块炒,最后才把朱古力碎放进去,加水慢火煮至全熟为止,上桌前撒新鲜芫荽和芝麻,大功告成

雲門舞集







台湾云门舞集舞剧《水月》

雲門舞集介绍
黃帝時,大容作雲門,大卷… 《呂氏春秋》

根據古籍,「雲門」是中國最古老的舞蹈,相傳存在於五千年前的黃帝時代,舞容舞步均已失傳,只留下這個美麗的舞名。

一九七三年春天,林懷民以「雲門」作為舞團的名稱。這是台灣第一個職業舞團,也是所有華語社會的第一個當代舞團。

三十四年來,雲門的舞台上呈現一百六十多齣舞作。古典文學,民間故事,台灣歷史,社會現象的衍化發揮,乃至前衛觀念的嘗試,雲門舞碼豐富精良;多齣舞作因受歡迎,一再搬演,而成為台灣社會兩三代人的共同記憶。

從台北的國家戲劇院,各縣市文化中心,體育館,小鄉鎮學校禮堂,雲門在台灣定期與觀眾見面。近年來,每年輪流在各城市舉行戶外演出,平均每場觀眾高達六萬,演出結束後,會場沒有留下任何垃圾紙片,建立了美好的廣場文化。

雲門也經常應邀赴海外演出,是國際重要藝術節的常客。舞團在台灣及歐美亞澳各洲兩百多個舞台上,演出超過一千五百場,以獨特的創意,精湛的舞技,獲得各地觀眾與舞評家的熱烈讚賞。

中時晚報:當代台灣最重要的活文化財。

倫敦泰晤士報:亞洲第一當代舞團。

法蘭克福匯報:世界一流現代舞團。

雲門舞者多為國內舞蹈科系畢業生,他們的訓練包括現代舞、芭蕾、京劇動作、太極導引,靜坐與拳術。

林懷民與雲門的故事,已由楊孟瑜撰寫成《飆舞》一書,天下文化公司出版;張照堂監製的《踊舞‧踏歌 雲門30》紀錄片DVD,已由公共電視製作發行。多齣雲門作品已拍攝為舞蹈影片問世。在荷蘭攝製的《流浪者之歌》,在法國攝製的《水月》,在德國拍攝的《竹夢》以及在瑞士拍攝的《行草 貳》為多國電視台播放,DVD發行全球。二○○三年,由雲門製作的《雲門‧傳奇》舞作套裝DVD由金革發行。
一九九八年,雲門創立雲門舞集舞蹈教室,以多年專業經驗創造「生活律動」的教材,讓四歲到八十四歲的學員,透過啟發性的教學,認識自己的身體,創造自己的生命律動。
一九九九年五月,雲門在創立二十六年後成立子團,雲門舞集2,深入台灣各地校園和社區,為更多的觀眾演出。舞團的年度公演「春鬥」,以演出台灣年輕編舞家的作品為主。二○○○年啟動的藝術駐校活動,獲得大專院校學生熱烈好評,已有近一千兩百位學生選修。二○○三年起每年秋季的《波波歷險記》,已成為最受歡迎的親子節目。

二○○三年,台北市政府將雲門三十週年特別公演的首演日,八月二十一日,訂定為「雲門日」,並將雲門辦公室所在地的復興北路二三一巷定名為「雲門巷」,「肯定並感謝雲門舞集三十年來為台北帶來的感動與榮耀。」

同年,《紐約時報》首席舞評家安娜‧吉辛珂芙將雲門的《水月》列為該年最佳舞作的首選。為澳洲墨爾本藝術節揭幕的《行草 貳》,榮獲時代評論獎及觀眾票選最佳節目,翌年獲台新年度表演藝術獎。

二○○五年《狂草》首演,獲頒「2005年度台新表演藝術獎」。二○○六年二月,「行草三部曲」在香港藝術節、五月在柏林穿越藝術節博得熱烈好評,並為德國《今日劇場》與《國際芭蕾》雜誌邀請的眾多舞評家選為「年度最佳舞作」。


***这是非常出名的。听过名字很久了,就是没有看过云门舞集的表演。 好期待。。。

【主要演员】:维.阿连托娃
【出品公司】:莫斯科电影制片厂
【获奖情况】:1981年度奥斯卡最佳外语片奖
【字  幕】:中英法俄

影片介绍:

1979年,前苏联影坛因为一部影片的出现而经历了一场地震,这就是《莫斯科不相信眼泪》。这部极具观赏性的影片以曲折的人物命运取代了以往的说教,引起了各个年龄层次观众的共鸣,不仅在国内创造了极高的票房,而且在第二年获得了奥斯卡最佳外语片的殊荣。这是继《战争与和平》之后第二次获得奥斯卡最佳外语片奖的前苏联电影,故事的情节始于上个世纪50年代,终于70年代,影片把两个时代进行了对比,着力表现中年人的命运,描绘了这一代人的心理状态,涉及了许多观众们普遍关心的问题,如道德、幸福、人生价值等等……片中的主人公卡捷琳娜和果沙给中国观众留下了十分难忘的印象。

此片讲述十七岁的女工卡捷琳娜因天真幼稚和充满幻想而冒充教授的女儿,并爱上了电视台摄影师鲁道夫,进而怀了孕。不久,鲁道夫发现真相并抛弃了卡捷琳娜。但卡并未就此消沉,她一面抚养孩子,一面发愤读书,终于在十六年后成为莫斯科一家大厂的厂长。此后,卡捷琳娜又结识了电焊工果沙,并一直隐瞒自己的身份。真相再一次暴露后,卡捷琳娜在女友们的帮助下,经过一番周折终于结束了单身生活,得到了一个女人真正的幸福。

夜晚,高考落第的卡捷琳娜闷闷不乐的回到集体宿舍,暂时到某工厂当了女工,在一个小型晚会上,卡捷琳娜认识了电视台摄影师鲁奇柯,掉入情网委身于他。鲁奇柯发现了卡捷琳娜的真实身份后不顾她,卡捷琳娜成了一名拥有三千工人的化纤联合工厂的厂长,邂逅了一名高级电焊工果沙。卡捷琳娜作为厂长接受电视采访,不料摄像师是鲁奇柯,鲁奇柯纠缠着她,果沙偶然得知卡捷琳娜的真实身份后大受刺激,拂袖而去,没有露面。卡捷琳娜痛哭不已,在朋友的帮助下,两人误会冰释,开始了新的生活……

这是我最早看到的苏联电影,当时想苏联人可真富啊!女主角叫什么来着?卡捷林娜吗?第二男主角发现女主角的地位是自己配不上的时候,成了第二个蒸发的男人,女主角蓬头垢面地和好友哭诉“我到处找不着他,怎么办?”感慨无论强弱,爱永远是女人生命里最重要的东西,还好,她最后终于有了幸福的归宿。(本段引自“千龙网”--《青春相信眼泪-怀念诗一样的苏联电影》)

***有一晚听电台广播时,听到DJ丽叶介绍的一部电影。真得想看看。
有舍咪人可以告诉我要怎样才可看到这一部电影呢?

Real Love

Real love is not two people clinging to each other; it can only be fostered between two strong people secure in their individuality. A shallow person will only have shallow relationships. If you want to experience real love, it is important to first sincerely develop a strong self identity.
.
True love is not about doing whatever the other person wants you to do or pretending you are something you're not. If some one genuinely loves you, they will not force you to do anything against you will nor embroil you in some dangerous activity.
.

Performance


MyDance Series 2007 Sept

A Balletbase-LAPAR Lab production




Malaysians are obsessed with technology -- things that glitter, light up, make noise, things that make us more visible, audible, powerful than ever before. Our bodies crave new hardware. Our minds demand the perfection of virtual reality. New interactive interfaces invade our bodies, dictate our movements, and narrow the divide between us and artificial intelligence.

Where will this obsession lead?

In technatomy, three new contemporary dance works examine the nexus between man and machine, now and in the future.



8.30pm 28 & 29 September, 3pm 30 September
Pentas 2, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre
Tickets RM35 general, RM25 students, disabled, seniors, MyDance Alliance members


Cell/Mob, choreographed by Balletbase dance director Bilqis Hijjas and performed by Balletbase dancers, shows us Malaysian teens and their relationships to their mobile phones. Using video recordings of the dancers and their own stories about love, loss, and running out of credit, the work hints that our mobiles mean more to us than we think.


The second work, by Singapore-based choreographer Tracy Vanderlinden, is another sly look at contemporary culture – a fun and energetic romp satirizing the phenomenon of MTV Nation, our search for instant celebrity and the incredible shrinking attention span.




Code 0519, choreographed by LAPAR Lab founder Low Shee Hoe, is a glimpse into the future. Combining original lighting, sound, video and set design, and the talents of award-winning director Beck Lim, Code 0519 contrasts the lived experience of the body with ideas of human cloning, artificial intelligence, robotics, and virtual reality.

饺子的发明是用来治烂耳朵的


  饺子是中国人民喜爱的传统食品。它的制法是先用面粉做成薄而软的饺子皮,再以鲜肉、白菜等切碎,拌以佐料为馅,包成后下锅煮至饺子浮上水面即可。其特点是皮薄馅嫩,味道鲜美,形状独特,百食不厌。
  饺子原名“娇耳”,是中国医圣张仲景首先发明的。
  东汉末年,各地灾害严重,很多人身患疾病。南阳有个名医叫张机,字仲景,自幼苦学医书,博采众长,成为中医学的奠基人。张仲景不仅医术高明,什么疑难杂症都能手到病除,而且医德高尚,无论穷人和富人,他都认真施治,挽救了无数的性命。
  张仲景在长沙为官时,常为百姓除疾医病。有一年当地瘟疫盛行,他在衙门口垒起大锅,舍药救人,深得长沙人民的爱戴。张仲景从长沙告老还乡后,走到家乡白河岸边,见很多穷苦百姓忍饥受寒,耳朵都冻烂了。他心里非常难受,决心救治他们。张仲景回到家,求医的人特别多,他忙的不可开交,但他心里总挂记着那些冻烂耳朵的穷百姓。他仿照在长沙的办法,叫弟子在南阳东关的一块空地上搭起医棚,架起大锅,在冬至那天开张,向穷人舍药治伤。
  张仲景的药名叫“祛寒娇耳汤”,其做法是用羊肉、花椒和一些祛寒药材在锅里煮熬,煮好后再把这些东西捞出来切碎,用面皮包成耳朵状的“娇耳”,下锅煮熟后 分给乞药的病人。每人两只娇耳,一碗汤。人们吃下祛寒汤后浑身发热,血液通畅,两耳变暖。吃了一段时间,病人的烂耳朵就好了。
  张仲景舍药一直持续到大年三十。大年出一,人们庆祝新年,也庆祝烂耳康复,就仿娇耳的样子做过年的食物,并在初一早上吃。人们称这种食物为“饺耳”、“饺子”或偏食,在冬至和年初一吃,以纪念张仲景开棚舍药和治愈病人的日子。
  张仲景距今已近1800年,但他折“祛寒娇耳汤”的故事一直在民间广为流传。每逢冬至和大年初一,人们吃着饺子,心里仍记挂着张仲景的恩情。今天,我们用不着用娇耳朵来治冻烂的耳朵了,但饺子却已成了人们最常见、最爱吃的食品。

Important of Sleeping!


A man can go two weeks without eating. But if he doesn't rest at all, hecan only survive for one week. Sleeping provides us the time to rest our internal organs, eyes and brains. Poor sleep quality can cause internaldamage to our internal organs and brains. Therefore, sleeping is veryimportant to us. If you wish to have a long life and stay healthy, please take note of the advice below.
.
5 DON'TS when you are sleeping...
.
.
1. DON'T SLEEP WITH WATCH
.
Watches can emit a certain level of radioactivity. Though small, but if you wear your watch to bed for a long time, it might have adverseeffects on your health.
.
2. DON'T SLEEP WITH BRA / UNDERWARE
.
Scientists in America have discovered those that wear bras for more than 12 hours have a higher risk of getting breast cancer. Well the same goesdown there for guys..... imagine having a prostectic part. So go to bedwithout it.
.
3. DON'T SLEEP WITH PHONE
.
Putting the phone beside your bed or anywhere near you is notencouraged. Though some of us will use phones as alarm clocks, butplease put the phone as far as possible. Scientists have proved that electrical items including mobile phone and television sets emitmagnetic waves when used. These waves can cause disruptions to ournervous system. Therefore if you need to put your mobile phone near you, switch it off first.
.
4. DON'T SLEEP WITH MAKE UP
.
People who sleep with make up might have skin problems in the long run.Sleeping with make up will cause the skin to have difficulty in breathing and problem in perspiring. You will also need a much longertime to go into deep sleep.
.
5. DON'T SLEEP WITH OTHERS' WIFE OR HUSBAND
.
You may never wake up again.
.
The above information is copied from one of the internet article. I am here to share with you all. Hope you enjoy it.
.
Sweet Dream!

~SUMMER MOVIE RECAP ~

The first topic of the new magazine will be written by me... Since summer is about to end... Lets us recap bout the summer blockbuster movies that been hitting theaters every week...


Most of the movies were bout the prequel and sequel... From SPIDEY to PIRATES to SHREK ... The 3rd installment for each movie came out... But of course there were new movies such as TRANSFORMER to the oldest family in small screen to hit big screen... Here are the TOP best summer movies in 2007(not in sequence)...

1.'Spider-Man 3'

- Spidey (Tobey Maguire) has a more formidable foe: his own inner demons (he embraces his dark side). He also battles three villains: Sandman, Venom and New Goblin, and juggles two women! It was the first summer blockbuster to be released. I did not watch the movie as I never watch any of the SPIDERMAN installments but overall the movie was given a good review.

2. 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End'

- Let’s see now, about 6 BILLION people around the world, even me saw 'Dead Man's Chest' and were at the edge of our seats when it ended. Prior to that, we'd thought only 'LOTR' could get away with a cliffhanger. But then came Jack which takes us to whole new level. But sadly the 3rd installment is not that flattering. Overall we get to see JOHNY, ORLANDO and KIERA … *wink*

3. 'Live Free or Die Hard'


- John McClane (Bruce Willis), the iconic badass who single-handedly took down two terrorist organizations on two separate Christmases, is back to battle something he hates more than Hans Gruber: Internet porn (and by "porn" we mean "terrorism"). Yippee-ki-yay, motherf!&#er! The whole movie has so many actions, butt kicking and BRUCE is still so hot doing it although he is 47years old …

4. 'Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'


- We've read (and re-read) the books, we know the story. But the fun of the 'Potter' series is watching the actors grow and seeing how the director puts page to screen. Overall the story line was just normal. The only reason why want to watch this movie is because of wanted to see how the directors bring the story into the big screen. Damm disappointed with the 3rd installment…

5. 'Ocean's 13'




















- George Clooney, Brad Pitt and posse once again got together and partied, or as they call it, "shooting a movie." The most enticing development: Andy Garcia turns from foe to friend, while Al Pacino fills out the villain's shoes. Never watch the movie but reviews say that it was good. Hey, who cares bout the story line when there is BRAD, GEORGE and MATT …

6. 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer'



- Well, I thought the original 'Fantastic' was fun, but maybe not so, um ... fantastic. We have higher hopes for this one. Silver Surfer is an ambiguous character (he sets up other planets for destruction in order to save his own); we're intrigued by how it'll play out. Overall the movie was just OK. At least u gets to see JESSICA ALBA in tight spandex…

7. 'Shrek the Third'



- Shrek (Mike Myers), Donkey (Eddie Murphy) and Puss in Boots (Antonio Banderas) set out on a quest to ... bring 'Sexyback'? Actually they'e off to find a young King Arthur, voiced by Justin Timberlake. Expect tons of celeb cameos, fairy-tale puns and probably a few farts (courtesy of Shrek). Best animated movie so far. It’s the best animated movie for this summer…

8. 'Transformers'















- Michael Bay delivers a live-action flick based on a '80s cartoon about robotic aliens kicking each others' asses on Earth. Sounds preposterous, but it's jam-packed with cool effects, action and Bay's signature talent for blowing stuff up. The whole movie caught my attention from top to toe. SHIA, JOSH + MEGAN, you guys (oops… and gals) are damm hot… watch it 3 times and still I could not get enough of it …

9. '28 Weeks Later'



- Danny Boyle's lo-fi horror flick '28 Days Later' scared the living crap out of us. The prequel is just normal. You get to see zombies and deserted town of LONDON… did I even watch this one???? Hmm…

10. 'The Simpsons Movie'


- I’ve only been waiting for a big-screen version of 'The Simpsons' for six years or so. Watch the cartoon since young and now the movie is so nice and humorous. Plot details have been scant, but it's got blockbuster-sized adventure, and everybody in Springfield appears. HOORAY!!!!

11. 'The Bourne Ultimatum'


- The final installment of the Bourne series. Fresh off the powerful but heavy 'United 93,’ Paul Greengrass has high-octane entertainment in his crosshairs. He promises the third Bourne flick will blow away its two predecessors, as Jason Bourne (Matt Damon) finally uncovers the mysteries of his past. And, yes, there will be a car chase. Who knows in the future there will be another Bourne installment?? The new AMERICAN Bond??

12. 'Rush Hour 3'


- Chris Tucker hasn't appeared in anything since 2001's 'Rush Hour 2,' which can only lead us to believe he's poured every ounce of soul into this third go-round. Of course partner Jackie Chan returns, but we're intrigued by the year's oddest casting choice: Roman Polanski in a bit part. The movie was funny with Chris and Jackie gimmicks. Overall, a very fun family movie…

13. 'Evan Almighty'


- It’s a summer movie but it was showing in M’sia quite late. Well, drop any other actor in this premise -- a man is tasked by God (Morgan Freeman) to make like Noah and build an ark -- and we'd be skeptical. But given its Steve Carell, we're keeping the faith this sequel to 'Bruce Almighty' will be hee-larious. Sadly say so, it’s NOT. BRUCE ALMIGHTY is soo much nicer. Both STEVE and JIMMY are good comedians but the story line is little bit outrageous/cookoo…

14. 'Ratatouille'


- It doesn't take much to get us psyched about a Pixar film. But this one's directed by Brad Bird- ('The Incredibles') and has a quirky storyline about a foodie rat, which means Pixar's about to knock our socks off ... again. Genius can be SO predictable. But rats and cooking… I doubt that … anyway not that recommended as the story line is little bit plain…

THATS ALL FOR SUMMER .. if you all never catch it on the cinema .. there is always DVD ..

~aL~
