最好的自己不在未來，就在現在。

認真回想，以前我好像在每一段關係中都是在扮演某一個角色，不由自主的在為每個對象做調整。不只有在戀愛上，有時候可能跟朋友、工作夥伴都是，尤其是在前輩面前，常常我都會本能反應似的改變自己。聲音要甜一點嗎？笑話要低級一點嗎？從穿衣服就可以看出，我今天是要跟誰吃飯。雖然是微調，但透露出了一件事，我好像不夠喜歡真正的自己，所以才會擔心大家也不會喜歡真正的我。我告訴自己即使累，但如果持續努力，有一天就能變成大家都喜歡的Lara。

久而久之我和世界的相處模式只有「由外到內」，會依照別人對我的反應去斷定我的下一步。大家會覺得我很好相處，我卻越來越不快樂。現在我慢慢開始懂了，原來我把順序弄反了。我該優先處理的是自己內心的感受，其他人買不買單，其實跟你一點關係都沒有。就像找另外一半，如果我跟夢中情人在一起，但我根本無法在他面前做自己，最後還是會走不下去。

我現在33歲，So What? 終於懂，「當下的自己」才是人生時間軸上最重要的！

對了，有人好奇這次「{}」的意思嗎？簡單說是「大括號」，在數學運算式中稱作「空集合」。數學不好的人就想像一個清空的行李箱吧。「空」不是無，而是無限可能。括號還有另外一個更好懂的意思，就是「優先處理」。將過去整理過後的自己，回歸純粹，態度成熟自信！(失戀後重新出發的人應該很有感觸吧！🤣)

Your best self is not in the future, but in the Now.

Looking back, I seem to have been playing a role in almost every relationship I was ever in. I'm not just talking about romantic relationships. Whether it was with friends or colleagues (especially seniors), I would modify myself almost instinctively. Should my voice be sweeter? My jokes dirtier? If you wanted to know who I was eating with that day, all you had to do was look at the clothes I was wearing.

The changes were subtle, but they still reflected a truth: I didn’t feel like the real me was enough so I was worried that other people would also find her lacking. I told myself that if I just kept working at it, I would someday become a version of Lara that everyone accepted.

Eventually I only knew how to get my cues from the external world. I would always base my next step on feedback I got from others. Most people considered me easy to get along with, but I grew more and more unhappy.

I think I had it all wrong. My first priority should have been listening to my inner voice. Whether or not other people agree with it is not in my control nor of my concern. Take looking for a partner. Even if I found the person of my dreams, it would never last if I couldn’t be myself around them.

I am 33 years old. So What? I finally understand that "the present self" is the most important thing on the timeline of life! It’s time to prioritize me!

By the way, is anyone curious about the meaning of "{}" this time? Besides the more commonly known representation of parentheses as prioritization, these curly brackets are called “the empty set”. The empty what? If like me, math is not your strongest suit, think of it as an empty suitcase. "Empty" doesn’t mean nothing, but infinite possibilities! What will you fill your life with this time?

【616 兩百萬人遊行之排名不分先後左右】

Never Say Never！

"It always seems impossible until it's done. "

616大遊行基本上是破了香港的歷史紀錄，我懷疑有機會甚至可能刷新了世界紀錄，在一個七百萬人的小都會中，居然有二百萬人上街遊行，不分左中右政見一同上街，去反對林鄭月娥這個政府！

「二百萬人根本就是普通香港人，是不分藍黃左中右」

各位要記著，可能兩年之後的現在，那些藍絲、KOL正在不斷洗板，不斷篡改歷史，將整件事情扭曲，以黑暴污名化，但大家要記著兩年前的6 月16日，是兩百萬香港人和平上街，而在那兩百萬人中，有很多人在投票是投給工聯會、民建聯，屬於傳統界定為藍絲和建制派的人，又或是重來也不問世事的人，但是當時他們為什麼也要上街，就是要求林鄭月娥撤回送中條例，啊，不對，林鄭月娥在6月16日前已經暫援了送中條例，暫援了送中條例都還有200萬人上街，這代表他們是在反對林鄭月娥這個政權，和反對香港警察在六月時所施行的警察暴力，所以他們才會全部湧出來！

有很多機會讓林鄭月娥和香港人溝通，可以改善香港、改革香港，無論她認錯或不認錯都好，她總會有方法能挽救整個香港，若然林鄭月娥仍是真的愛香港的說。可是林鄭月娥這個八婆卻包拗頸，反過來還恐怕香港未夠撕裂，她其後一直鼓勵警察暴力，不自我檢討，不聆聽市民訴求，最終引發了一連抗爭行動，甚至更大的群眾運動。

其實，我們香港人是否有可能再創紀錄，甚至破埋二百萬人的數字，大家可能會灰心，甚至乎覺得沒可能啦，亞哥，尤其是現在有國安法，民陣申請遊行又不獲淮，香港人顧著移民，我們的人又都全坐了監，但各位，我加入了社民連這麼久，大家都知我是比較天真的，就是 Never Say Never，就像我背上的文字， 是曼德拉的名句，It always seems impossible until it's done. 意思是事情永遠在成功前總像是沒可能實踐，其實616 就是最佳例子！

無論點都好，我相信一個獨裁政權是不會千秋萬世，我今天在監獄裡面，已經在鍛鍊自己身體，正在不斷做運動，在監獄中雖然食物很難入口，但是卻很清淡，再配合我增加了的運動量，這樣會使我更加長命😎

我好快會出來和大家見面，我而家應承住你先，我放監出來時應該會有返六嚿腹肌的！💪🏻

【616 Two Million March: A March of People from all across the Political Spectrum】

The 616 march is basically a record-breaking event in Hong Kong's history, and I suspect it may have even set a world record, as 2 million people took to the streets in a small city of 7 million, despite the fact that Carrie Lam still remains a stubborn bxtch.

I was really moved by the 2 million people who took to the streets to oppose Carrie Lam's government, regardless of their political views. Perhaps now, 2 years after this march, these 'blue ribbons' and KOLs are now constantly whitewashing and falsifying history, distorting the whole incident and stigmatising it with black violence. However, we must remember that out of those two million people who went on the march, many of them voted for the FTU and the DAB, many of them are people who are traditionally defined as 'blue', many of them are members of the pro-establishment camp, and many of them were those who do not care about the world, but why did they take to the streets too? Did they want the withdrawal of the Extradition Bill? Nope. Carrie Lam has already withdrawn the Bill before the 16th, and 2 million people still decided to take to the streets, and this means they were against the regime, and they are in opposition to the police brutality that they witnessed in June.

These 2 million people were just ordinary Hong Kong people, regardless of blue, yellow, left, centre or right. There were many opportunities for Mrs Lam to communicate with Hong Kong people, to improve and reform Hong Kong, and whether she admitted her mistakes or not, there was always a way for her to save Hong Kong as a whole. However, Carrie Lam, has been so stubborn that she is afraid that Hong Kong is not torn apart enough. She has been turning a blind eye to police violence, not reviewing herself and not listening to people's demands, which eventually led to a series of protests and even a bigger mass movement.

In fact, today, we may be discouraged as to whether Hong Kong people can set another record, or even break the record of 2 million people, especially when there is a national security law and that the pro-democracy camp has been denied permission to demonstrate. A lot of Hong Kong people are thinking about migrating, and a lot of us are in jail. I've been in LSD for quite some time, and everyone knows I've always remained hopeful (some might say I’m naive). Never say never, and as what the back of my T shirt says, “It always seems impossible until it's done.” (A famous quote from Mandela) In fact, June 16 is the perfect example!

I believe that a dictatorship will not last forever. I am in prison today, but I am already exercising. Prison food is not exactly pleasant, it's blend, but exercising with this diet, I'm gonna live longer! 😎

I'll be out soon, and I promise I’ll be back with 6 packs. 💪🏻

【為什麼壞人有錢，好人沒有錢？】
Why are the Evil-Doers Rich, and Mr Good Guys Poor?

這支影片幾年前上傳到Youtube時，有觀眾留言問：

老師，不好意思，我想請問您 ：那些惡人今世可以賺到不斐的財富，是因為前世他們累積了不可思議的福報導致。

那麼佛教有種說法，就是我們累世輪迴，這一世就是靈魂繼承上世的修行程度。你修的好的地方（善緣福報）你修的不好的地方（惡緣惡報）都會帶來這一世讓你繼續修，最終目的就是修到大圓滿 然後成佛。

可是我的問題是，那些惡人如果上世能夠累積到這麼多的福報，那麼本質上他的靈魂就一定是善的居多，怎麼這一世會偏差的這麼遠呢？ 令人費解@@ 不好意思想請教老師...

*

我那時簡單的回覆：

您好。菩薩有隔世之迷，而且人之初，性混沌，遇到善緣，人會變善，遇到惡緣，人會變惡。

但問題是，修過福報的人，不一定是守五戒的人，因為他們可能不曾修過智慧，習性特重，便不會產生這定力不去犯錯。

打個比方，成龍享有巨大的財富和名氣，和他喜歡做慈善的心性有關係，但他還是犯了淫，因為定力不足，喜色成性。後代房祖名吸毒不爭氣，成龍受千夫所指，也是邪淫果報之一。

喜做善，不代表沒有在行惡。行了惡，又沒有懺悔，就會有這般善惡交叉的命運。但惡人再惡，善緣臨時也會有放下屠刀，立地成佛的一天，如佛陀弟子央掘魔罗。

When I uploaded this video on my Youtube channel 4 years ago, a viewer left a comment asking,

"Teacher, sorry but I wish to ask, those villiians can earn bountiful wealth because of the incredible good fortune they accumulated in their past lives.

In Buddhism, there is this theory: our souls in this lifetime is the product of our cultivation from past lives. Thus, for this life, you will continue to cultivate the areas you did well in (virtuous affinities & good fortune) and the areas you fail in (negative affinities & retribution).

The final goal is to accomplish Great Perfection and eventually, attain Buddhahood.

But my question is, if those villians accumulated so much good fortune in their past lives, then the essence of their souls should have more goodness in them. Why the vast difference in this life? This is perplexing. @@ Sorry I wish to ask Teacher ...”

*

My simple reply at that time:

Hi, a Bodhisattva will experience confusion between his past and current lives. When man is born, his nature is chaotic. He becomes virtuous when he meets virtuous conditions, and turns vile, when he meets malevolent affinities.

The problem is a person who has cultivated good fortune may not be a person who adheres to the five precepts. Because they may not have cultivated wisdom, they are still very prone to their habitual tendencies and lack the meditative strength to avoid committing sins.

For example, Jackie Chan enjoys enormous wealth and fame. This got to do with his fondness for doing charity. But he still committed sexual misconduct due to his lack of restraint. Thus his son, Jaycee Chan, was a drug abuser and let the family down. Jackie Chan was universally condemned and this is one retribution of his sexual misconduct.

A person doing virtuous deeds does not mean he is not doing bad deeds on the other hand. If there is no repentance after a bad deed is done, he will end up with a Destiny of good and bad interweaved in it.

But no matter how malevolent a villain may be, when his virtuous affinity approaches, there will come a day when he is willing to lay down the butcher's knife to become a Buddha, i.e. repent and be absolved of his past sins.

Just like Buddha's disciple, Angulimala.

無垢鳥 (改編自客語童謠〈阿啾箭〉)
White Drongo ( Adapted from a Hakka nursery rhyme "Black Drongo" )

作詞改編：徐麗雯 Sub Author : Herb Hsu
作曲改編：蔣韜 Sub Composer : Jiang Tao
演唱：邱舒 Performer : Shu Chiu

文/徐麗雯 By Herb Hsu

〈無垢鳥〉的歌詞係由《維摩詰所說經·方便品》以及客語童謠〈阿啾箭〉所發想而成。
The lyrics are inspired by “The Vimalakirti Sutra” and the Hakka nursery rhyme “Black Drongo”.

阿啾箭為大卷尾的客語稱法，是地域性很強的鳥類，昔常見於農村牛背上；維摩的梵語是清淨、無垢的意思，結合以上二者，故曲名題為〈無垢鳥〉。
A black drongo is a highly territorial bird often seen resting on the back of a cow in the countryside. “Vima” in Sanskrit language means clean and pure, which is why the song is named “White Drongo”.

〈阿啾箭〉這首童謠使用在電影《光的孩子》的劇情關鍵處，藉由不同角色的無伴奏哼唱，前後串連出生命、情感的一脈相承。〈阿啾箭〉的童謠歌詞迴環反覆、直白簡要，指出無父無母的處境、追尋的失落，剛好扣合電影的角色際遇，也與《維摩詰所說經·方便品》的核心精神相呼應。
The Hakka nursery rhyme “Black Drongo” is used in an important part of the film “The Child of Light”. Hummed by different characters without the accompaniment, it expresses how our lives and feelings are interrelated. With the rotatory and straight forward lyrics, we know how it feels when you’ve lost your parents and try to find something but in vain, which is what the protagonist of the film has been through and in accordance with the core of “The Vimalakirti Sutra”.

〈無垢鳥〉歌詞以聚沫、泡、燄、幻、夢、影、浮雲、電等喻，示明無常的諦理；而〈阿啾箭〉童謠則提供了一個生活感的基底；兩者一虛一實，精神層面和現實景況交匯共振，成為了普世無盡的扣問。
A cluster of foam, a bubble, a flame, an illusion, a dream, a shadow, a cloud and lightning in the lyrics show us how transitory life is while the nursery rhyme “Black Drongo” itself describes an ordinary daily routine. The former is unreal while the later is real. When the spirituality meets the reality, endless questions arise ubiquitously.

〈無垢鳥〉是電影《光的孩子》的片尾曲。原初的構想是希望片尾曲能有不斷往前、往前，最後隨風消散的感覺，意圖在影片結束時，以對自然的感知、經文的無常空相，延擴至更超然的識界，並帶給人飛昇、療癒的力量。
“White Drongo” is the ending song of the film “The Child of Light”. The initial conception about ending song is to deliver the feelings of going forward and fading away eventually. We expect that the ending shows the sense to nature and the impermanence of sutra expending to the unlimited ambit, and also provides people the power of inspiration and mind-curing.

周杰倫《蒲公英的約定》小提琴版本
| Violin cover by Lin Tzu An of A Dandelion's Promise by Jay Chou

這首典型周氏R&B情歌在簡單的旋律中緩緩描述著光陰的甜酸☺️
旋律本來是電影《不能說的秘密》中的一段小插曲，大概是周杰倫太喜歡，就發展一首歌了！

旋律中瀰漫淡淡的感傷，講了懵懂初戀時男孩沒有向女孩說出口的話。
現實人生中故事很常是這樣發展的不是嗎（笑）
等到許多年過後，才驚覺當初誤以為的友情其實是分不清的愛情。
所以我們看劇的時候會有共鳴，會因為劇情手指蜷曲、會用上帝視角看著主角木頭（？）
也會因為悲劇結尾跟著一起哭，Happy ending的時候一起感到滿足！

長大之後的我們，聽了這首歌似乎搭著時光機回到那段純真的時光，想起年少懵懂的感覺和記憶。
明明是一起長大的約定，卻叫蒲公英的約定，很有意思吧🙃
是因為不論怎麼約定，長大後也終究會因為命運而各奔東西嗎？

歡迎大家在沒有下雨的週末到信義區香堤大道，聽這些cover歌曲的live版！詳細演出相關資訊，我都會更新在我的Instagram 限時動態！

A Dandelion's Promise is such Jay Chou's signature R&B style with the lyric by Vincent Fang telling us the sweet and sour time when we were young☺️
The melody was from the movie《Secret》 directed by Jay Chou himself and maybe he likes it sooo much that he developed the interlude into a romantic song!

The melody is sentimental, and it speaks out those words the boy didn't tell the girl.
That's literally our real life, isn't it lol
Not until many years later do we realize that the friendship was misunderstood as the indistinguishable love. (sighhhhh)
Therefore, when we watch dramas/TV series/movies, we will resonate with the stories therein.
We will cry when they are tragedy in the end, or be satisfied when they are finally happy ending!

It's like taking the time machine when listening to this as a grown-up.
The song takes us back to the time when we were innocent and shy moments with "that one."
BTW, it's interesting to think that the promise of growing up together was so sincere for me but now I call it as a dandelion’s promise.
I'm wondering if it's because that no matter how sincere the promise was, after growing up, we will eventually be led to our own ways as if it's meant to be 🙃

“Summer” is an electro-pop song written by Holly Lou and Stephen Rong. “Summer” is the celebration of the vitality of summer and the happiness it brings. But just like all things, it eventually comes to an end. We could always see this inevitability as something to fear, but wouldn’t it be better to focus on the in between? After all, the journey and the stories we collect are what really matters at the end of the day.

一直想寫一首代表夏天的歌
對我來說夏天是一個充滿活力歡笑的季節
我經常在夏天計劃安排很多出遊的活動
也許是家人,好友從美國來台灣
或著是三五好友的郊外踏青
更是一個人的異國之旅
雖然我很怕熱
但除了炎熱的大太陽之外
更多的是歡快的記憶
對比於人生
若說春天是一切的初始
那麼夏天就是絢麗的過程
泰弋爾說Born as the bright summer flowers
「生如夏花」
我想就是這個意思

和Holly羅維真並非第一次合作
在聯合創作 「夏天結束前」過程中
彼此的默契連我自己都很surprise
而瑞秋的詞
更讓「夏天結束前」猶如高空中的煙花 亮眼奪目的美好
副歌部份首次嘗試不填入歌詞
歡騰的音律活脫脫的跳躍在夏天熱浪裡
自由描繪著自己「夏天結束前」的回憶
初次看到MV可能會覺得結局是個BE
但我們想表達的是
生活從來不會輕易的讓你得到你想要的
夢想也不是唾手可得的容易
即使全力以赴於任何一個機會
追夢路上的坑漥與泥淖總會讓你不由得懷疑起人生
黑暗中以為迎來即將東昇之旭日却有可能仍是閃逝而過的流星
人生會結束在何時 誰都不知道
我們所能做的就是在每一個現在,當下和此刻
認真的鮮活著我們的生命
縱使人生會給我們無數的課題
却總也會在不經意之處給予驚喜
可以因為挫折而跌倒 可以因為跌倒而哭泣
但是啊
也會因為成功而開心 因為開心而歡笑
愛的豐富與伴隨 始終是讓人帶著笑容向前走的動力
