Opis

This book was originally conceived with the idea of introducing English proverbs, aphorisms, and other sayings for their abundant knowledge and wisdom. Knowledge and wisdom are as precious as treasures; therefore, the learning process for knowledge and wisdom was plotted as a treasure-hunting story in this book. As the story was developing, something bigger than knowledge and wisdom came in sight. Something that is the knowledge and wisdom of all knowledge and wisdom; something beyond knowledge and wisdom; something transcends knowledge and wisdom. So, the story evolved, from the physical to the metaphysical, from the mundane to the supramundane. Eventually, the story pilgrimaged into the realm of our mind, the True Mind and the pseudo mind. Certain episodes of the book: ...He was surprised that he dreamed about a possible way to make the dream of treasure hunting in forex market come true. But he was more nervous than excited, because the solution appeared to be so impeccable that he couldn't resist doubting it was too good to be true. ...It was interesting and yet ironic that Dad discovered a significant secret about life from studying the forex market where there are the most speculations, greed and worldliness. ...The program was to guide a mouse to get out from a maze. The charming Charles River sort of inspired him about the solution for the program. The recursion function adopted in the program is very much like reincarnation, because the mouse is looping in and out of the function before it can find its way out. ...Dad made a cone-shape hole with spiral trace around the mother grunion. The hole looked like a conch under the full moon light, which was bearing hundreds and thousands of grunion lives, and which was playing an anthem from the soul of the mother grunion. ...The spiral trace on the wall of the hole resembled the path that Dante took in his Divine Comedy. But the spiral trace here would guide the newborn grunion out of the sand conch from the unfathomable bottom to adventure their Pilgrim's Progress in this unpredictable world. ...When the mother grunion wriggled her way out, it looked more like she was a baby being born than she was a mother giving birth to a baby. ...Karma force was taking effect, but in a different direction. Bright light and fresh energy were released from the True Mind of the charity donator. The happy newborn karma-dependences flew high and away with expectation for a future reunion. The world had been changed for the mother grunion, because a seed of dependence-arising had just been planted. "Go away Survival of the Fittest You are never God's plan and we are never puppets on the Heaven's stage. Nature might select, but karma determines " ...The silhouette of a lady and four cheerful, mermaid-like figures arise gracefully from the Ocean of Clouds and Dreams, and ride on a patch of white cloud coming out from the Heaven's Gate, independently of dependence-arising. ...As the ocean of clouds gets closer, the silhouette of the lady looks more like Dad's most cherished Chinese portrait painting of the Mercy Bodhisattva sitting majestically in the middle of Mind Sutra. The blue and tender-hearted Bodhisattva is no longer blue but more tender-hearted; Bodhisattva's teardrops have transformed into the crystal-clear diamonds that are sliding into the Heaven's karma bank and becoming the good seeds for the future cause-dependence. Tomorrow is another day, and a brighter day. ...The crystal azure radiance from The Eastern Pureland of Lapis Lazuli is painting the entire vault, "With the mind full of Medicine Buddha, one mind-travels in the Lapis Lazuli Radiance," the Song of Life is dawning.
