Kungfu panda 2

Have just watched KungFu Panda 2 this afternoon. It is so funny yet touching!

On top of that, I like how some parts of the story relate to the dharma.
The cute cuddly panda had successfully fought the evil peacock by going through the path of facing his unhappy past and letting go of it. He ultimately found his inner peace that rests all the inner struggles and thus gained the power to defeat his enemy.




Shifu: "Po, the day you was chosen as the dragon warrior was the worst day of my life. By far, nothing else came close. It was the worst, most painful, mind destroying, horrible moment...I have ever experienced..."
Panda: "Okay.."
Shifu: "But once I realised the problem was not you, but within me, I found inner peace, and was able to harness the flow of universe."

Postcrossing

It will never come again. But that's what makes life so sweet.
因我们只能活一次,人生才如此甜美。
-- Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886)

Each time, it is not entirely different but not exactly the same. It is changing, in a very slow pace, continuously. And this applies to ourselves, our thoughts, and anything around us.

Hence, it is not easy to get to what it is now.
When it is here, we can choose to refuse, but we can also choose to accept it for what it is now.
Isn't it what we are hoping, deep in our heart, for someone that can love and accept us for who we are? =)

There is always good news and interesting discovery from Sin Chew Jit Poh.

For those postcard and stamp lovers, now it is your golden chance to send your postcard to one of the postcrossing members in other countries. In exchange for that, someone will also send you a postcard but you'll never know who is that person and where is he/she from! So, be prepared for surprises at your doorstep one day you wake up! And then we can officially say " Life is a box of chocolates. You'll never know which one you will get."

I have just registered as a member and my first recipient is a lady from Finland. It is such a good thing to post a smile to someone around the globe so why not do it? You'll receive one from the others too, that's how karma works.

Hope you have a wonderful journey of giving love and sharing knowledge and culture. =)
