幸福 - Happiness

偶然看到這一句：

「 幸福是把靈魂

安放在最適當的位置 」

- 哲亞里斯多德的哲學

令我感觸很深。

想到佛說的人生八苦之一的

「 愛別離苦」 -

與親愛的人分離、無法相聚

令人感到悲傷無奈。

承受莫大的痛苦與折磨。

直到我們認清生命的本質、

生活的意義，

看透徹人生的無常時，

心靈自然能將所有的思慮、煩憂

輕輕放下。

真正的幸福是找到心靈的安寧。

I happened to see this sentence:

" Happiness is the settling of the soul into 

its most appropriate spot."

- The philosophy of Aristotle.

It touched me deeply.

Thinking of  "love and separation from suffering" 

Sermon of the Buddha

(one of  the eight sufferings of life ) -

Separated from our loved ones,

unable to get together,

it makes us  feel sad and helpless

and have suffered great pain and torture.

Until we recognise the essence of life,

and the meaning of life.

See through the impermanence 

of life,

we will let go of the pain,

put it down gently.

True happiness comes from 

peace of mind.

《感恩效應 - The Gratitude Effect 》

人類行為專家與暢銷書作家

John Demartini 博士：

「 當我們處於深深感恩狀態時，

大腦能臻至客觀與平衡，

激活大腦前額葉（被稱為感恩中心）。

此過程不僅能釐清思緒，

還能協助我們中和情緒波動。」

依據科學、醫學研究證實，

感恩能激活大腦與獎賞、情緒調節有關的

區域。  這些區域會抑制杏仁核（恐懼和

焦慮），緩衝壓抑性情緒，

使我們整體的情緒狀態會變得

更平靜、平衡與堅強。

也可減少體內發炎，改善心血管

和神經系統健康，增強免疫反應。

 

常懷感恩的心

能有效的重塑大腦神經迴路、

降低焦慮、療癒身心。

使我們的靈性提升到更高的層次。

每天睡前、晨起，或隨時隨地

一個簡單的感恩，

這種感動的頻率不但祝福他人，

同時也為自己帶來幸福。

 《 The Gratitude Effect 》

Dr. John Demartini is an expert on human behaviour and a best-selling author ：

When we are in a state of deep gratitude,

the brain can achieve objectivity and balance,

activate the prefrontal lobe of the brain ( known as the centre of gratitude ). 

This process can not only clarify the thoughts,

it can also help us neutralise emotional fluctuations.

According to scientific and medical research,

gratitude can activate the areas of the brain related to reward and emotional régulation.

These areas will inhibit the amygdala (fear and anxiety), cushioning repressive emotions,

make our overall emotional state become  more calm, balanced 

and strong.

It can also reduce inflammation in the body and improve cardiovascular and the health of the nervous system, enhance the immune response.

Always have a grateful heart

it can effectively reshape the neural circuit of the brain,

reduce anxiety and heal the body and mind.

Raise our spirituality to a higher level.

A simple gratitude every day 

before sleeping

or wake up in the morning 

or anytime and anywhere…

this frequency of being moved

not only give blessings to others,

but also bring happiness to yourself.

台南頂頭額沙洲 - Dintouer Sandbank

台灣西部平淺河川沖積而成的沙土，

長年累積而成沙洲。

由於濱海地區

長期受季風以及地形影響

而形成沙丘的景觀

與綿延起伏的沙丘，

有「台南撒哈拉沙漠」之美譽。

鄰近台灣海峽，

有絕美的夕陽海景。

海浪輕撫沙丘，

太陽緩緩吻別海面。

金沙不時隨風起舞，

霞光也在海中蕩漾。

The sand and soil formed by the flat and shallow rivers in western Taiwan have accumulated here for many years to form sandbars.

Due to the coastal area,

affected by the monsoon and terrain 

for a long time,

the landscape that forms sand dunes 

and the rolling sand dunes,

it has the reputation of "Tainan Sahara Desert"

Close to the Taiwan Strait,

There is a beautiful sunset 

and sea view.

Gentle waves lap against the sans dunes. 

The sun slowly kisses the sea goodnight.

The golden sand dances from time to time with the wind.

And the glow of the sunset is rippling 

on the sea.

 

夕陽 - Sunset

日落時分，

萬紫千紅映染穹蒼。

火球與浪花相遇⋯

多麼壯麗的𣊬間。

美好溫暖的霞光

令人感到平靜安詳。

後記：

記得那一天來到淡海。

朵朵雲層籠罩在海面。

忽然雲消霧散，

溫柔壯麗的火球現前，

時間凝結在風中。

我彷彿飛向那美好的永恆。

At sunset, 

the sky painted in myriad colors.

So spectacular

while the moment 

the fireball meets the spray.

Beautiful and warm glow

make me feel calm and peaceful.

Postscript (P.S.) ：

I remember that I came to Danhai.

Clouds cover the sea surface.

Suddenly, the clouds disappeared 

and the fog dissipated,

gentle and magnificent fireball

in the present,

time was condensed in the wind.

I seemed to have flown to that beautiful eternity.
