This begins our new practice 这就开始了我们新的练习 (1)

Note: Every week from 1995, Guruji started sending out knowledge sheets which he fondly called the 'Knowledge Fax' to be read out and discussed at Satsangs happening all around the world.  Guruji ended this delightful practice at the 365th week in September 2002, so as to let us fully digest them! These knowledge sheets have been compiled into An Intimate Note To The Sincere Seeker Volumes 1-7. I shall begin the practice of posting a Knowledge Sheet every week for the benefit of those who have not had the opportunity to get hold of these priceless books.  It had never cease to uplift me by reading and rereading this knowledge. So I know you would certainly enjoy them!

:从1995年开始,古儒吉开始每一个星期寄出他称为‘智慧传真’的智慧语录以供在世界各地举行的唱场阅读与分享。大师在2002年9月,也就是第365周结束了这个做法,让我们好好的消化和实践这些智慧。这些智慧语录已收录为7本书:古儒吉大师智慧语录(1-7集)。我将开始每个星期刊登一篇智慧语录,以供还没有机会买到这几本宝贵的书籍的学员分享。不断阅读这些智慧语录让我得益不浅。所以我知道其他人也会有很大的收获。

Beyond an event is Knowledge.
Beyond a person is love.
Beyond an object is infinity.

Knowledge is beyond events. Every event colors your awareness in some way: pleasure, pain, joy, sorrow, anger, jealousy.  Each event gives you a false notion of what reality is.  Truth is beyond all the colors of particular events.

Behind every object is infinity.  Objects are limited and changing, yet they exist in infinite space that never changes.  Reduce any object to atoms; you will find that within each atom is contained infinite space.  Beyond all objects is infinity.
Beyond each person is love.  A personality changes.  A body, a mind, a complex of behaviours is always changing.  Beyond each personality there is unchanging love; love is what you are.  When you lose your self, you'll find your Self!
The event behind the event is Knowledge.  The object behind the object is infinity.  The person behind the person is love.
Maya - delusion - is when you are stuck in events, personalities, or objects.  Brahman - divine consciousness - is seeing beyond all these.

See? Just a little shift.

超越事件是知识。
超越物体是无限。
超越个人就是爱。
知识是超越事件的,每一事件都以某种方式为你的觉知添上一些颜色:欢乐、痛苦、喜悦、悲伤、愤怒、嫉妒等。每一个事件都带给你对真相的一个虚假观念。真理超越特定事件所具有的一切色彩。
超越每件物体是无限。物体是有限且多变的,但物体存在于永远不变的无限空间里。将每个物体缩小至原子层面时,你就会发现蕴含在每个原子内的无限空间。超越一切物体是无限。

超越每一个人就是爱。个性在改变。身体、心智、乃至行为的组合都一直在改变的。超越每一个性格,都有永恒不变的爱存在。爱是你的本貌。当你失去你的小我时,你即会找到你的大我!

在每个事件之后的事是知识;在物体之后的物体是无限;在人之后的人是爱。

麻亚(Maya)─幻相─是当你执着于事件、个性或物体时。婆拉门(Brahman)─神性意识─是超越这一切去看。

你们明白吗?这只不过是个小小的转移罢了。

Greetings from Munich 德国的问候 by ZY 正仪

As an AOLian, the world is your home!  No matter where you are in the world, look up the local website, contact the local person-in-charge, and before you know it, you are so-humming your way into the moment!

身为生活艺术的一份子,世界是你家!无论你在世界任何一个角落,只要你找上当地的网站,和当地负责人联络,你就可以在任何地方做净化呼吸法了!

I'm just barging in to say hi. 我只是闯进来说声嗨而已啦!

HI!

Even though there is no permanent centre in Munich, there are some very enthusiastic and sincere sevas in Munich, which is why I am very sure the Art of Living in Munich is coming up and rocking the world soon!  Currently, we are renting a small place each week, with Yoga, long kriya, knowledge reading session, and Satsang all rolled into one.  Sometimes, to appreciate things right in front of me, I really need to travel the distance, huh! (Ouch!Pocket really hurts!)

虽然在Munich这里还没有成立一个固定的中心,不过有好几位热心和充满活力的义工,所以我很肯定Munich的中心不久就会活跃起来了!我们暂时是每个星期租一个小地方一晚,瑜伽、净化呼吸法、知识阅读和唱场一次过进行。有时候,要珍惜眼前所有,我还需要跑到那么远来呢!(口袋破洞!。。。)

Time 时间:7.00pm - 9.00pm

Venue 地点: Alor Setar Art of Living Centre 亚罗士打生活的艺术中心 

Free Admission 入场免费

Please invite all your friends and family members to come to our centre.

请大家带朋友和家人来参加。

This short presentation by teacher Hwa Seng is really powerful. 
For my personal experience, i myself was not sure about the content of the breathing course, so i attended the introduction and gain a better understanding of the course and about the Art of Living Foundation. Then with no doubt and confident, i participated the basic course in Jan 2010. i am so grateful that Guruji is able to reach out "his hand"  in such a small town like alor star! This is the best "economical effective remedy" that you can gain and practice for lifetime!

i would say this is an "ancient secret" to good health! come explore and find out yourself!

SATSANG . 19 June 2010

For new members and beginners, have you wonder what is SATSANG all about? 
why we gather and sing the so called "Sanskrit" language song which we do not even understand a single words???why not 张惠妹???周杰伦???

well,

WHAT IS SATSANG
 Satsang (Sanskrit sat = true, sanga = company)

according to Guruji,  
Satsang means the company of reality, being in touch with the truth. 
Satsang is not just singing. Singing some complicated songs which you don’t understand is not Satsang. Music is a part of it. The second part is understanding the logic. The third part is sitting and reposing in yourself, in deep meditation, being with yourself.

normally, in our centre, we start at 7.30p.m. and After 2 hours of singing, we will listen to knowledge by Guruji from VCD. finished at about 10.00p.m. ( for those mummy driver sending children for tuition and need some quality timeoff, you are welcome to join in ) 

after the session, whether you understand or not about the song and the knowledge, you will feel calm and energized! this is the THE POWER OF SATSANG. 


This week SATSANG is very special. 
6 adults + 1 little people attended. ( teacher Hwa Seng is in Taiwan, our chair-lady attending wedding dinner )
this little one who joined us and also sang loudly with microphone is Wei Sern. ( carmen's son ) 

First, he is a bit shy then he grabbed the mic and sing as loud as he wanted... :-P and beat us all...because he does not need to look at the lyric! well, a bit out of tune but there you go..." Ganesha Om...Ganesha Om..." 

and i realised 月香 , 如意 and shin wei sang beautifully. 月香's voice soft and gentle. 如意's voice full of energy, shin wei's voice steady and sharp! and i lead a song too...i called it " my baby sleeping rhyme  - NARAYANA " ( my baby will fall asleep when i sing this song ) 

okie dokie... hope to see more people and more children crush in our SATSANG session next week. let's make it "lau juok lau juok "

Sri Sri Yoga 诗丽诗丽瑜伽

What is Sri Sri Yoga?

Sri Sri Yoga is a celebration of the diversity in Yoga in a simple and joyful manner. We combine yoga essentials- breathing techniques, stretching and postures, meditation and relaxation, and yogic knowledge. By incorporating all these beautiful facets of yoga we are able to look deep beyond the level of the physical body and really sharpen our sensitivity and awareness of subtler levels of existence. Practice of Sri Sri Yoga cultivates a more healthy and happy lifestyle.

诗丽诗丽瑜伽是以简单及快乐的态度来庆祝瑜伽的多样化。我们结合瑜伽的重要元素:呼吸的技巧,瑜伽伸展和姿势,冥想和放松,还有瑜伽知识。透过各种瑜伽美丽的技巧,我们能够深入了解而超越身体的水平,提高我们的敏感性和察觉更微妙层次的存在。诗丽诗丽瑜伽可以培育一个更加健康和快乐的生活方式。
On a physical level, Yogic exercises strengthen, lengthen and replenish muscle tissues, which helps hold bones and align the whole body. Holding postures burns fat and reduces cholesterol. Yogic breathing brings more oxygen to the heart and nourishes the whole system. The breath work also aids in reducing toxin levels in the body by expelling unwanted stresses.
 
身体方面,瑜珈练习可以加强,延长和补充肌肉组织,这有助于保持骨骼和全身的姿势。保持着瑜伽姿势可以燃烧脂肪,降低胆固醇。瑜伽完全呼吸法为心脏带来更多的氧气和滋养整个系统。呼吸的练习也帮助驱除体内毒素,减少不必要的压力。
 
Ekas Tapasavi,Dwir Adhyayi-while Tapas is done alone, practice is done in a group.
一个人独自修炼的叫苦行,大家在一起做的则是练习。

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh!Enough said! Now this is what Yoga is all about...... 够了!够了! 其实瑜伽只是那么简单。。。
Making life a celebration! 让生命成为庆典!


Partying,dancing, and being intoxicated every night! 每晚参加派对、尽情跳舞和陶醉!


The main aim? SERVICE WITH A BIG SMILE
最终的目的?带着大大的笑容服务

CONTACT US FOR MORE INFORMATION ABOUT OUR NEXT SRI SRI YOGA COURSE!
欲知我们诗丽诗丽瑜伽开课详情,请联络我们!

Just for Laughs 笑一笑

义工之旅 30/04/2010~01/05/2010 洪月香笔

ZY's note: 月香早在07/05/2010写好了这篇文章分享。直到今天我才有机会刊登。就让我们重温旧梦吧!


这是一个用心灵去感受的大自然之旅。
一个让全身有细胞都活跃起来的旅程。
一个纯净的空间,让心情喜悦地自由飞舞,享受着美好的感觉。

我们15个人及华生老师一起乘车到霹雳州的绿意园圃去游山玩水。

首先,我们去霹雳州Gopeng的Gua Kandu山洞探险。Mr. Kenny和Uncle Robert 带领我们上山。一开始,困难就来了,地上积了水,我们几个女人不敢过,幸好华生老师很有创造力。他在篱笆那儿找到一个洞,足于让他那高大威猛的身躯穿过了。原本反对的我们也跟着越过了。从此事,让我领悟到此路不通时,是需要自己去开创另一条新路,而且信念要坚定,不管别人的不认同。

到了山洞,我们需要带着手电筒,因为山洞是伸手不见五指的。一路上,大家不断地互相扶持下,我的脚步也走得更稳定了。Mr. Robert让我们用手电筒照向山洞观看。我们看见了奇形怪状的钟乳石。这些钟乳石都是经过千万年才可以形成的钙化石。最难忘的是Mr.Robert叫我们关上手电筒,静默几分钟,聆听山洞里的水滴声和感受山洞的宁静。啊!那感觉真是太妙了!

来到一个相当险峻又直直的山时,我看了很害怕。但是华生老师、May姐、源昇等人都爬到上面了。我也想超越自己。当我一爬上去时,我就后悔了,因为我已抓不到任何让我安稳的岩石。最后在朋友的引导下,我终于爬到上面去了,多么的有成就感阿!看到了阳光照耀着洞口,如此壮观的美丽风景,令我觉得此山行太值得了,也有种豁然开朗的感觉和对自己更加有信心了。

过后,我们去Lata Kinjang 的瀑布。我是尽情地浸在山水里,如小孩般地玩水。啊太舒服了!与朋友在一起玩水的感觉真好!我们也在瀑布旁的岩石上享用有机木瓜和做呼吸法。我们休息在大岩石上,那感觉是富足、放松、平静、安详、美好、喜悦的。。。也感觉到山水声,鸟儿的歌声,还有空气的存在和森林的气息。

晚上,我们住在Kenny和吕眉夫妇的绿意园圃的屋子。为了梦想,他俩开创了绿意园圃。它是一个有机菜园。面积3.5依格,座落在霹雳州务边的Chenderiang的土著区内,四周都是森林保护区。这儿种的都是有机蔬果,采用堆肥耕种,还有许多的美丽花草树木,景色优美,空气新鲜。他们夫妇有一个秘密的角落--梦想的秋千。那秋千上面是种了粒粒的丝瓜。我在秋千荡呀荡,荡出了自由自在、平静、享受、太棒了的感觉。。。

我们也到土著村。我们参观了用竹子和木板制成的屋子和跟他们对话。华生老师也在那儿起了童心,跟那儿的小孩玩了一场好玩的游戏--踢足球。这就是自由的感觉。

要回家前我们是多么不舍得呀!真的很希望还有下一次。真的很感恩伟丝的带领,感恩Kenny和吕眉,感恩华生老师和班我同行的朋友,令我好好地活了这两天。

30/05/2010-05/06/2010

It has now come to the end of the week, when I always look forward to jot down some interesting things that happened throughout the week in this column under our Alor Setar AOL weekly news flash (inspiration just flows after Satsang at the end of the week)!

This week, Lay Choon is MIA (having fun somewhere at the other end of the globe), our teacher, Hwa Seng has conducted a Basic Course in a factory in Penang, Carmen has gone off to KL...and I am now at our weekly merry Satsang affair (I promised my Satsang band member I would be there in consciousness anyway!)  Right here, this moment, I am sharing, and if you can't feel my presence, COME FOR GROUP PRACTICE OFTEN AND DO MORE MEDITATION, DUDE!
Since most of the VIPs are absent, we were left to fend for ourselves.  Teacher Charon came from SP on Sunday for our group practice, and May took over the reigns on Monday.  I am sure everyone must have enjoyed the Yoga on Tuesday and Wednesday after May's return from the Sri Sri Yoga TTC!

Guruji was under attack this week! But no worries, he is fine! Thank you, Guan Seng for sharing the news.

ZY signing off from Singapore Changi Airport, on transit to Munich.

每个周末把整个星期的点点滴滴及有趣事件在这个每周新闻剪影里分享,真是我的一大乐趣(灵感总是在唱场之后源源不断)!

这个星期没有惠群的消息(在世界的某个角落游玩啦),华生老师在槟城的工厂开了个初级课程,科彣下吉隆坡去了。。。而我现在在唱场(答应了我的乐团队友我会在意识里参加唱场!)此刻,我是和你们一起在分享,如果你感觉不到我的存在,那么请你常来团练和多做静心吧!

既然多数的重要人物不在场,我们这个星期‘自己拾生’啦。Charon老师星期日从双溪大年来给我们团练,May姐负责星期一的团练。大家一定很享受May姐星期二和三的瑜伽团练,感受到Sri Sri Yoga师资训练的魅力吧!

古儒吉这个星期被人试图枪杀!不过别担心,一根寒毛也没动到!谢谢源昇的新闻分享。
