Their Graduation

Just conducted the last lecture, the last tutorial for the year
Definitely have not said my last goodbye, my last word
For I’m sure we will still meet again and talk again
And more sharing in the years to come by

In the ceremony we were sitting by
Submerged in many utterances of kind words, demonstration of kind deeds
And many proofs that the eloquence of our students is fine
Quite memorable and certainly a delight

In just a few weeks’ time the examination will start
So nervous and anxious they are
Sleepless nights and panda’s eyes
Mind over body, they continue to strive

Getting good grades is all in their mind
Helping their friends along they also try
I can only say Good Luck to all
A helping hand from me they can rely.

Flashes going off from many perspectives
We smile and we pose allowing the shooting to continue
The aim being to freeze the precious moments for remembrance
What a wonder, technology making it all possible

Maybe it’s good time now for me to reflect
What have I done not right and what I should continue to strive
Have I make their learning journey joyful
Or am I just a stranger passing by

I hope they are not just good graduate of the college
But also a graduate in other aspects in life
Continue to learn and re-learn
The journey is long and the future is ours to define

Come next year March when the results are out
I hope they can shine
I will be so happy to say
Well done *little pals, the future for you is bright

~ Happy Bear ~
(o: Happy for them :o)

有一位圣者这么说：

念头的起伏本来就很正常，只不过不要去放纵这样而已。
人非圣贤，谁能保证自己念头不会有一丝一毫的错误。
就算圣人也不敢担保自己每一个念头的起伏、
每一个念头的出发都是好的、都是善的。
但是圣人在念头起伏的同时，
他能够去发现、能够去自觉、能够去导正，
这是一个人自我提升的空间跟机会。

强制压抑欲念，反而会让自己更执著、更多欲念。
不如在欲念产生的同时，去反观自己的心，去看看自己；
是不是真的那么在乎这些、是不是真的这样执著这些？
如果不是的话，那么这些念头的起伏，
为何要让它干碍自己的路、或是平时所做的每一件事？
当你专心在做一件事的时候，
你对你的欲念、你的起心动念，不会去在乎很多，
因为你专注的是当下的这件事情。

固然你知道你的念头起伏有很多不妥，不执著的同时，
这些也自然而然就消失无影无踪。
但不一定，再一次就不会再有同样的事情发生。
不过，在不断又不断的淡化跟转化之下，
你能够慢慢去净化自己。
