四月三日 April 3, 2012

清明節 ***

清明時節倍思親
路上行人趕拜山
先人恩情難忘記
往日相聚快樂時
未曾珍惜已太遲
今日祈禱作個願
願眾先人早安息
願後人出入平安

Ching Ming Festival (paying respect to the deceased) ***

It is natural to think of the deceased when it comes close to the Ching Ming Festival (4/4/2012). You will see many people on the road to visit the graves of departed loved ones. It is hard to forget the love and the joyful time you had with someone who is now gone. If you had not enjoyed those times, when they were alive, it now becomes regret in your life. What you can do at this Festival, is to pray and wish them rest in peace, and hope they will protect you and help you live a safe and healthy life.

不要哀傷 ***

生離死別定是苦
但不一定要哀傷
哀傷不會減痛苦
反而積極去面對
內心可以領悟到
品賞苦味的根源
慢慢地會找尋到
苦處底下的甘甜

Don’t be sad anymore ***

Departure is a sad event, but you don’t have to be bitterly sad. Being sad doesn’t reduce your pain. On the contrary, if you face such a sad situation with a positive attitude, you will appreciate the bitter taste of your pain. Ultimately you will discover the sweetness hidden under such pain.
