Turtle

"Imagine that the whole earth was covered with water, and a man was to throw a yoke with a hole in it into the water. Blown by the wind, that yoke would drift north, south, east and west. Now, suppose that once in hundred years a blind turtle would rise to the surface. What do you think? Would that turtle put his head through the hole in the yoke as he rose to the surface once in a hundred years?"

"It is unlikely Lord."

"Well, it is just as unlikely that one will be born as a human being; it is just unlikely that a Tathagata, a Noble One, a fully enlightened Buddha should arise in the world; and it is just as unlikely that the Dhamma and discipline of the Tathagata should be taught. But now you have been born as a human being, a Tathagata has arisen and the Dhamma has been taught. Therefore, strive to realize the Four Noble Truths."

Yellow and luck

Don't bother about the title... nothing such as yellow luck... just that I don't know what to name this entry...

Maybe I should try to be yellow, though I'm definitely not a yellow... cause I like to wear yellow, pale yellow... yellow people/voice are supposed to be bright, cheerful and of course sunny people... and I got assigned "yellow" as a temporary password... might be some kind of indication that I should be more cheerful...

Also... today... I would definitely say I was lucky... it was nothing to do with opportunity plus action... it's really pure luck... I didn't get into the train because it was so packed... so I waited.. and guess what... the next train was empty! absolutely empty.. and all those people waiting with me were so happy... haha... and first time I got a seat right after I board the train... when I changed train.. again was able to get a seat.. perhaps it was quite late already, about 6.30pm.. but, let's just call it lucky as it's just fun to have such luck...
