Recently I learnt one Chinese word that is amaze me.

The word is 筱 , which has meaning slander of

bamboo. My knowledge about Chinese is limited, but this word reminds me about a place that teach us
about the beauty of silences. It does not mean loneliness, but a condition of peace and serenity in our
mind. The reason why I related this word with this state of mind, because it reminds me to a scene in the
movies of crouching tiger hidden dragon. There is a scene that conducted in one of a forest in China
which surrounding with many bamboos. This place gives me the sense of peacefulness. The wind that
blowing the bamboo making the leaves and the trunk creating sound that make our heart forget about the
illusion and return to the reality. This scene teaches us about to find inner peace in this complicated and
competitive word. Seeing the beauty of the place remind me about returning to our real home. A place or
condition where no duality of life, where no judgment of right or wrong, a condition where we can be
ourselves without thinking of the other. My grandma named this condition with the blissful of real
freedom. She told me the blissful of freedom mean you can dance in the raining and also smiling in the
hot of the sun.

As our life is the creation of bunch of memory that happen in our life, let me share a story about my
experience of doing pilgrimed recently. I visit one of the most important temple in Bali. This temple is in
the top of mountain. The journey was unforgettable, as the road is very difficult to reach and we need to
hike 5 hours to reach this temple. During the way to the temple, I saw a beautiful bird, with very colorful
feather and It has very melodious sound. This bird makes my tiredness disappear, and change it become
the sense of serenity. But unfortunately, I didn’t take any picture of it. It made me very sad, as I want to
have at least something to commemorate my memory of this bird. At home I told my grandma about my
sadness and she told me a very beautiful word. She said to me this bird hasn’t fly away, it live in my
memory forever. It doesn’t matter the bird is already fly away, but actually it remains in the deep of your
memory. This bird always stay with you, in your mind and soul. She said to me doesn’t matter does the
bird will remember you or not, belong to your or not, in the eye of lover, it is not the problem as long the
bird can feel free and find its own happiness. This story teach me about the beauty of a lover. In ancient
time people write a poet about love in every place that they can write. One poet that inspire me is the
ancient poet about how a lover will always giving a support for his partner. This poet teaches us that be a
lover, its mean to realize that we are the same form of energy. It is like the blue sky; our part of
differences is the cloud that cover the ultimate reality of the blue sky. When the wind blows the cloud, we
can see the grandiosity of the unlimited sky

In the eye of lover, you and I is only an illusion.

 We can see the beauty of the sky only if we remove the cloud.

We are unlimited being, fly as high as you can.

Don’t worry if you fall, an eagle can fly from 1000 times training.

When you feel tired of the brutality of the life

You can come to me.

No matter what it will be happen.

The sky can open and make mountain disappear.

The north star can disappear.

the sun refuse to rise.

The sea turn to dust

I would still by my way, by the light I see in your eyes.

Even though, your memory of me has faded away.

But that light will always stay in my memory

Oh my love, give me permission to be someone who can guard the beauty of you smile.

To be someone who always stay beside you.

To provide you love and companion.

So, you can continue your journey.

To be an eternal unlimited sky

To be an eternal light that create happiness for others.

To be free from suffering and find Enlightenment.
