A mighty girl: Anna wore frumpy clothes. Her teeth needed straightening, they would say. People would continue to attack her looks and her self-esteem to the point that she was very insecure, she believed what everyone said about her, admitting she was an "ugly duckling." When she first met him, she could not believe that a man was interested in her. She wanted him to see her world, so instead of going to a fancy, social event, she instead took him to the slums of the Lower East Side, where she did volunteer work, helping young immigrants. The young man, who had held a rich, sheltered life, saw things he would never forget -- sweat shops where women labored long hours for low wages and squalid tenements where children worked for hours until they dropped with exhaustion. This walking tour profoundly changed the young man, moving him to say, that he "could not believe human beings lived that way." The young man's name was Franklin D. Roosevelt, and the young woman, who changed his life forever, who would change the world forever, her name was Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. They would eventually marry. On March 4, 1933, Franklin D. Roosevelt would be inaugurated as the 32nd President of the United States and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt would become the First Lady. At first, Anna Eleanor Roosevelt remained shy. She would also continue to be ridiculed by the press, making fun of her stout figure, toothy smile, and way of dress. Even her own mother-in-law, still over-protective of her son, would tell Eleanor's own children that their mother was boring. But, being First Lady allowed Eleanor Roosevelt to see more of the world, to see how the rest of the nation lived, outside of her priviliged surroundings. She started speaking up for women, African-Americans, and children. And, she started influencing her husband, telling him what she saw. She would continue to receive hate mail for her views, but it just made her stronger, more determined. When the Daughters of the American Revolution boycotted the 1936 concert of African-American singer Marian Anderson, she would resign her membership and helped organize a new concert in front of the Lincoln Memorial that made history. She flew with black (male) pilots and helped the Tuskegee Airmen in their successful effort to become the first black combat pilots. She would be nominated three times, during her lifetime, for a Nobel Peace Prize. She became a renowned social and political activist, journalist, educator, and diplomat. Throughout her time as First Lady, and for the remainder of her life, she was a high profile supporter of the Civil Rights Movement, of equal rights for women, and of social reforms to uplift the poor. Even after her husband's passing, she remained active in politics for the rest of her life. President Truman would appoint her as a U.S. Delegate to the United Nations, where she would receive a standing ovation when the Universal Declaration of Human Rights was adopted on December 10, 1948. She would chair President Kennedy's ground-breaking committee which helped start second-wave feminism, the Presidential Commission on the Status of Women. And, she continued supporting women, even personally assisting in the careers of many women, providing them with guidance, giving them hope. She would still remember when they called her an ugly duckling when she was growing up, but to the world, she was and continues to be a beautiful swan whose beauty inside helped her speak the truth, making the world a little better for all.

那一篇有問題？

音樂是沒有國界的

音樂是沒有國界的 中学時讀喜讀偉人传記，也喜欢音乐，那时候，翻版多，原版買不起，就買了很多书來看，很多的音乐，一套一套的唱片，像巴哈，貝多芬的，莫札特的，都能買來聽，我是在訓練，一再的聽，聽到熟為止，從貝多芬的十大交响曲開始，托斯卡尼尼詮釋並指揮，也讀了托斯卡尼尼傳，還是精裝本的，到香港，看到親戚們的水準有夠差的，知道因為在台北有翻版便宜的書報，唱片可以買到，但是香港不能，只能花大錢買原版的，來到美國，也一樣，美國大多數中產以下的人，能讀的書少，能聽的音樂少，最多到圖書館借書來看，我兒子讀書都是去買舊書來看的，一本本精裝本的教科書，那買得起，都是跟學長買他們的書，我自己在搞网路時，當初網路剛從美國軍中釋放出來，有多少個系統，從一對一，一對二，一連一，一連二，一連多個電腦，那些書買來讀，一次都是一堆山高厚厚的，每次都花上將近千元，而且電腦輭硬體在競賽，三個月到半年，腦袋就要換一輪，否則就趕不上了，在經濟壓力下，只有放棄，還好我是以修行為業的，賺錢養家活口，那是業外，放了就放了，再找更易賺錢的工易，更好的，記得在搭乘公車，那時在學第三課，搭車到瑜伽屋要兩個小時，坐在公車上就把笫三課背熟了，而且不讀書，不聽音樂了，為什麼？有第一課了，有Kiirtan了，其他都不需要了，＂少說一句話，就能多一聲佛＂的修練。 有一隻白陸龜跟一隻黃陸龜说：“你不能唱《我的祖國》這隻歌”，黃陸龜說：“你沒有祖國就不讓有祖國人唱這隻歌嗎？而且還要罰五十萬元。“

佛經

說到經，sutra，梵語，字面上的意义為線，它意味着用線將顆顆粒粒的珠子串成串，就是將每句话，每個段落以邏輯的思考方式將某种思想表达出来，这就成為一部經。所以說佛經不是經，是故事书，是假藉佛陀说话，来表達自己本人的想法，和佛陀一点关系都没有，只是要藉佛陀說话才顕出它的份量。

A Good Teacher should know where YOUR STUDENT s level is

A good teacher should know the students' level. But many of them do not know. As a yoga teacher, i know students' level very well since 1973. Now, nobody can teach the way i teach. And many students come to me for their personal problems and need advice. But i only give the obstacles they may have on their spiritual path. i believe the one who learns from me will be better than others. American margii do not have the basic idea on tantra and guru. They die when they start to sprout. What education have they learn from the beginning? The first month, one lesson; two months, two lessons, three months, three lessons, in 6 months they graduate. When i learned first lesson, take me 2 years to make it perfect. That means i can practice the first lesson day and night. Two years, now do you think they can perfect it in one month? Even 20 or 30 years may not get perfect. Then, you know why many margii's level are so low. They can not even sit properly to do meditation.
