K quote on Love

  In this torn desert world there is no love because pleasure and desire play the greatest roles, yet without love your daily life has no meaning. And you cannot have love if there is no beauty. Beauty is not something you see - not a beautiful tree, a beautiful picture, a beautiful building or a beautiful woman. There is beauty only when your heart and mind know what love is. Without love and that sense of beauty there is no virtue, and you know very well that, do what you will, improve society, feed the poor, you will only be creating more mischief, for without love there is only ugliness and poverty in your own heart and mind. But when there is love and beauty, whatever you do is right, whatever you do is in order.

ove is something that is new, fresh, alive. It has no yesterday and  no tomorrow. It is beyond the turmoil of thought. It is only the innocent mind which knows what love is, and the innocent mind can live in the world which is not innocent. To find this extraordinary thing which man has sought endlessly through sacrifice, through worship, through relationship, through sex, through every form of pleasure and pain, is only possible when thought comes to understand itself and comes naturally to an end. Then love has no opposite, then love has no conflict. You may ask, `If I find such a love, what happens to my wife, my children, my family? They must have security.' When you put such a question you have never been outside the field of thought, the field of consciousness. When once you have been outside that field you will never ask such a question because then you will know what love is in which there is no thought and therefore no time. You may read this mesmerized and enchanted, but actually to go beyond thought and time - which means going beyond sorrow - is to be aware that there is a different dimension called love. But you don't know how to come to this extraordinary fount - so what do you do? If you don't know what to do, you do nothing, don't you? Absolutely nothing. Then inwardly you are completely silent. Do you understand what that means? It means that you are not seeking, not wanting, not pursuing; there is no centre at all. Then there is love.

Những ngôi làng nhỏ ẩn mình vùng nông thôn và rừng núi - các ngôi chùa, đền và miếu cổ.

Nguồn Internet (cần update lại). https://baohatinh.vn/nui-hong-song-la/ngoi-den-co-hon-200-nam-tuoi-o-ha-tinh-keu-cuu/174003.htm Các ngôi chùa hay đền, miếu ở vùng nông thôn rất cổ kính và đẹp. Nó hay đặt ở những nơi hẻo lánh và có phần đặc biệt, trừ ngôi đình làng. Kiến trúc không rõ ảnh hưởng từ đạo lão hay gì nhưng thường hòa vào thiên nhiên, cảnh quan xung quanh. Khác với nhà thờ thường cao nhất trong khu vực và xây rất đẹp và lộng lẫy ở khía cạnh khác. Chùa thường thờ Phật hay các danh nhân qua các thời, xưa quá rồi hoặc từ sự kiện đặc biệt thì thành cổ tích, nhân vật truyền thuyết, dân gian... Các ngôi đền, miếu có vẻ thờ đủ thứ nhưng đa số là folk region hay danh nhân. Nhiều ngôi đền, miếu ẩn mình trên những vách núi, bờ sông hay nơi hiểm yếu rất đặc biệt. Điển hình là xứ Đoài, dọc theo sông Đáy, Tích Giang có rất nhiều mỏm núi đá, đá ong và theo đó là rất nhiều chùa chiền, miếu và đền rất đẹp. Sông Tích Giang hay Hát Giang xưa có bề dày lịch sử như H...

You worship success

You worship success We all want to become something: a pacifist, a war hero, a millionaire, a virtuous man, or what you will. The very desire to become involves conflict, and that conflict produces war. There is peace only when there is no desire to become something, and that is the only true state because in that state ...

A confident man is a dead human being

http://www.katinkahesselink.net/kr/confiden.html https://ernietheattorney.net/a-confident-man-is-a-dead-human-being/ https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0060648082/ernietheattor-20/103-5695954-1041405 I’m reading this book, which I’ve read before.  Somehow this time the ideas seem less abstract.   I enjoyed this passage, and carefully underlined it: "In order to understand ourselves we need a great deal of humility.  If you start by saying, ‘I know myself’, you have already stopped learning about yourself…A confident man is a dead human being." I especially love that Krishnamurti doesn’t profess to be able to impart any great truth, which this passage shows quite nicely: "I have nothing to teach you — no new philosophy, no new system, no new path to reality; there is no path to reality any more than to truth.  All authority of any kind, especially in the field of thought and understanding, is the most destructive, evil thing.  Leaders destroy...
