#purpose #你的命運是什麼 #意義 #中文👇🏽 “The Soul of the World is nourished by people's happiness. And also by unhappiness, envy, and jealousy.
To realize one's destiny is a person's only REAL obligation. All things are ONE.”
- The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho. ✨

What is your destiny? Do you believe in your purpose?

Since I was little, I always felt that I was given this life & body for a reason, as if I had a mission on earth. This feeling once faded during my teenage depressions, but came back stronger with recovery and gratitude of being ALIVE.

... I think everyone has a mission, but forgets it when trapped in society’s rat race.
That’s why I take a lot of alone-time.

...I personally still don’t know what my mission is and where it’s leading me. Many times I thought I had it, and then it changed again. But wherever it’s leading me, I trust it’s part of the journey.
You know why?
Because whenever I listen to my deepest instincts and act with trust, I suddenly have people and situations entering my life - like angels and miracles - to guide me, love me and give me hope.

This in itself, is another reason why I am constantly excited about life ☺️🙃 don’t miss out on it. Go out there, and trust your journey.

「世界的靈魂是被人們的幸福滋養的。但同時也有不快樂，嫉妒和怨恨。
實現自己的命運是每個人唯一的真正義務。 萬物是一體」
-煉金術士/ 牧羊少年奇幻之旅 （小說） Paulo Coelho。 ✨

你的命運是什麼？

小時後我總覺得自己有被送這個生命和身體是有原因的，就好像我活在地球上是因為我得執行任務一樣😆 這個感覺曾經在我十幾歲的抑鬱症中消失，但是隨著恢復過程變得更加強烈

...我認為每個人都有使命，但陷入社會的激烈競爭時卻很快就忘記。
這就是為什麼我花很多時間獨自一人的原因。

...我個人仍然不知道我的任務是什麼？很多次我以為自己好像找到了方向跟目的，然後又變了🙃 但是，無論人生帶領我到哪裡，我都相信這是旅程的一部分。
你知道為什麼嗎？
因為每當我傾聽自己最深刻的直覺並以信任的態度行事時，突然就會有好人和好情境進入我的生活，就像天使和奇蹟一樣，來引導我，愛我並給我希望。

這本身就是我對生活不斷感到興奮的原因之一☺️

朋友們⋯ 不要再錯過生活
踏出去吧，信任你的旅程！

Karmapa on compassion大寶法王開示慈悲 1/2
( PLEASE SHARE 請分享)

2015/11/14
His Holiness the 17th Gyalwa Karmapa shares a teaching on compassion. Compassion is one of the fundamental teachings of Buddhism, about which Karmapa often speaks.
聖陛下第十七世嘉華噶瑪巴大寶法王分享了一個關於慈悲心的教導。慈悲心是佛教的基本教義之一，噶瑪巴經常提到這些教義。

“Compassion is our inherent nature and a quality of our minds. It simultaneously aims towards the true happiness that is inherent in all of us and it wishes to end confusion for everyone, thus enabling a correct understanding about the world and its beings. Through a very natural outflow of compassion, we give substantial meaning to life.
“慈悲心是我們內在的本質和我們心識的品質。它引導我們得到與生俱來的真正幸福，同時它也希望結束每個人的困惑，從而能夠正確理解世界及其眾生。通過一種非常自然的慈悲心的流露，我們為生命賦予了真實的意義。

Since this quality of compassion is inherent, we don’t have to look anywhere else to find it. Wherever there is a consciousness, there is a seed of compassion. It is the same for wisdom. Wherever there is a consciousness, there is a seed of wisdom, too. Compassion is inseparable from wisdom.
由於慈悲心的本質是固有的，我們不需要去其他地方尋找。只要有意識，便會有慈悲心的種子。智慧也是一樣。只要有意識，便會有智慧的種子。慈悲心與智慧是分不開的。

The free flowing expression and quality of compassion is so important, for without it we will not be able to live our lives fully. Without it we will only be able to experience a fragile, conditioned peace. It is due to compassion resulting in true understanding that we can find unconditioned peace and happiness, and ultimately liberation.
自然流動地表達慈悲心和其品質是非常重要的，因為沒有它，我們將無法完全充實地過活。沒有它，我們只能經歷一個脆弱的，有條件的平和。這是由於慈悲心導致真正的理解到我們可以找到無條件的平和與幸福，並最終達至證悟。

To approach this, the Buddha taught us to cultivate more compassion in ourselves, towards each other and the world by recognizing that the aspiration and motivation to want happiness (and not want unhappiness) is deeply rooted in all of us. If we use this understanding to connect with each other, we could create the basis to develop and cultivate what is most essential in our lives: compassion.
為了解決這個問題，佛陀教導我們長養更多對自己，對彼此和世界的慈悲心，做法是通過認識到發願和渴望得到幸福的動機（而不要不快樂）深深紮根於所有人之中。如果我們利用這種理解來相互聯繫，便可以發展和培養生活中最重要的要素：慈悲心

By sowing seeds of compassionate understanding as each moment passes, we are able to overcome various kinds of confusion without much struggle. Obstacles are easily avoided and we advance safely along the path of virtue, making great use of this precious and fragile human existence. For example, in the midst of obstacles, by focusing on our innermost wishes, this will help us to overcome arising mental and physical challenges.
每一刻通過慈悲地理解的種子，我們能夠不大費勁地克服各種困惑。我們能夠容易地避免障礙和沿著善行的道路安全地前進，而且充分利用這個珍貴而脆弱的人生。例如，在障礙中，通過專注於我們最深切的祈願，這將有助於我們克服身心方面的挑戰。

We should remind ourselves that this cultivation of compassion can be achieved without much hard work. We can cultivate compassion while sitting, walking, or even sleeping. By applying ourselves in this way, we can utilise every spare moment to cultivate compassion, even within this limited physical world.
我們應該提醒自己，可以在日常輕鬆的情況下長養慈悲心。我們可以在坐著，走路，甚至睡覺時長養慈悲心。通過這種方式，即使在這個有限的物理世界中，我們也可以利用每一個空餘時間長養慈悲心。

It seems we started at the same situation ( not the smoking or alcohol part but the age and psycho...),

The first year is almost down, can't tell or image how I will be and feel when the seven year is coming :) I still eat unhealthy and sleep late sometime, I do my practice again and again, day by day, sometime got lost, and sometime high, I love all the joy and pain, sweet and bitter when I do yoga alone, it will be wonderful if I find the truly inner power and love, be a inspiredyogi someday...

Alexandros Manos開始練瑜伽時是38歲，那是七年前。想練瑜伽是因為前三十八年沒有愛惜身體，抽煙喝酒亂吃東西不運動把身體搞壞了，三十八歲才來亡羊補牢。開始練習後感受到內在的轉變與流動，就再也離不開ashtanga。

他不想當老師，除了前四年有老師幫忙，後來都是自己練，自己一個人，安靜的練習。

“I have discovered that all the unhappiness of men arises from one single fact, that they cannot stay quietly in their own chamber.” 這是巴斯卡說過的一句話，中文的意思是：「我發現人類會不快樂都源於一個單純的事實：無法安靜地待在自己的房間裡。」

一個人待著，在那個空間裡，感受自己，感受最高意識，安靜的呼吸與合一。

對Alexandros而言，ashtanga是關於愛的練習。
