風和日麗，

走出家門

（法國封城規定可離家十公里內區域活動）

漫步兩公里多

來到楠泰爾區內一處遼闊的湖泊公園。

享受一個寧靜悠閒午後。

A beautiful sunny day. 

Out of the house 

( France in lock down, the stipulates that activities within ten kilometers from home can be carried out )

walked about 2 kilometers from home 

to a vast lake park. 

Enjoy a quiet and leisurely afternoon.

飛 - Flying

 

Viviane Lian 油畫 - 飛

Viviane Lian oil painting - Flying

大鯨魚飛揚起來。

在我眼𥚃

是想遠離海洋的汚染？

被環境、處境壓抑的想飛？

我欣賞 Viviane 的新古典主義、浪漫主義

與表現主義的畫作風格。

Big whale flying up. 

In my eyes

the whale wants to stay away 

from the pollution of the ocean? 

wants to fly because of environment and depressed  situation?

I admire Viviane’s neoclassicism, romantisme and expressionism painting style.

恩典 - Divine Grace

昨天下午

聼到外面一片忙亂的聲音。

隨即有人按門鈴，問我房子可好？

我才驚見對面房門隙湧出的水，

我們四戶人家的中央已積水。

我家左邊鄰居和他們對面的人家

門戶大開，

正在努力的用大毛巾吸取玄關

和大門口周圍的水放入幾個水桶。

我檢視自家門口反而沒事，

將地毯向前推開，門口周圍約一尺

乾乾淨淨沒有水。

( 其實地板都是一樣的平面 )

於是我把地毯拿開

（ 因向前推而沾到水）

蹲在我家門口乾浄的範圍，

伸長手用毛巾吸取中央的水

（吸取了三桶水）

半小時後對面鄰居房東抵達，

關閉廚房破裂水管的總開關，

瀑布般的水聲才靜止下來。

然而水不斷向他的門外，

中央與我左邊的方向流去，

直到管理員帶來吸水機才漸解危。

對面的鄰居忙到晚上八點多

才處理乾淨屋內的積水。

看著對面湧出的水流向中央與我左邊的方向,

靜止在我蹲的門口前⋯不可思議。

鄰居們訝異於此異象。

我相信是奇蹟。

內心感謝上天、佛菩蕯的恩典。

Yesterday afternoon, 

I heard a hustle and bustle outside.

Then someone rang the doorbell 

asked  me how was my house ? 

I was shocked to see the water gushing

 from the gap in the opposite room, 

and there was already water

 in the center of our four houses. 

The neighbors on the left of my house 

and the house opposite them were opening door 

working hard to absorb the entrance hall 

and the water around the door 

with a big towel into several buckets. 

I inspected my near by door 

and it was okay. 

Push the carpet forward, about a foot around the doorway, 

it was clean and free of water. 

( Actually the floor is the same plane )

So I took the carpet away

 （ it got water because of pushing forward )

 I Squatted in a clean area  near by my door. 

Extend my hands and use a towel to absorb the water in the center ( sucked three buckets of water )

 The landlord from the opposite neighbor arrived 

 in half an hour, 

turned off the main switch of the broken pipe

 in the kitchen. 

The sound of waterfall-like water stopped. 

However, the water kept flowing to his outside, 

center, and my left direction of the door. 

It was not until the administrator brought the

suction machine that the danger was gradually relieved. 

Until about eight o’clock at night 

the neighbor opposite me cleaned up the water

in their house.

I saw the water gushing from the opposite side 

flowing towards the center and my left side,

still in front of the doorway where I was squatting. 

That’s so incredible. 

The neighbors were surprised with the vision. 

I believe there are miracles. 

I am grateful for the grace of God,

Buddha and Bodhisattva.

  

  

覺悟人生 - The awakening of life.

 

盈珍水彩畫 - 人生如夢

Ying Chen watercolour painting - Life is but a dream 

人生的修行、學習、成長、

修身養性是在日常生活中 -

面對、處理、放下

所遭遇的種種。

最重要的是

我們能看透生老病死，痛苦喜樂⋯

與覺悟人生。

Life learning, growth, 

self-cultivation and practice 

is in our daily life.

For dealing with any problem 

and all  kinds of encounters -

face it, 

deal with it, 

let it go.

The most important thing is that 

we can see through 

birth, old age, sickness, death,

the joys, sufferings...

And the awakening of life.

春天 - Springtime
