《千秋歲·水邊沙外》秦觀 (1049-1100) __ 江紹倫英譯
《千秋歲·水邊沙外》秦觀 (1049-1100)
水邊沙外 城郭春寒退花影亂 鶯聲碎飄零疏酒盞 離別寬衣帶 人不見 碧雲暮合空相對
憶昔西池會 鵷鷺同飛蓋 攜手處 今誰在日邊清夢斷 鏡裡朱顏改 春去也 飛紅萬點愁如海

Death is a Debt – from a physicist __ Tang Tong-Bor (67)
What 慶功(’67) just wrote about the deaths of people close to him has moved me deeply, as I read it after a trip after Easter (which, of course, is the Christian answer to Death). So I feel a need to express some thoughts on this “eternal” subject, immature though they are.
Death is a debt that everyone repays, eventually. One common way to “QE” the debt is stoicism; another is religion. I subscribe to neither, but, in recent years, have developed some preliminary ideas of the “scientific” way to face Death.
古文粵譯:大同與小康 __ 梁煥松 (71)
昔者,仲尼與於蜡賓,事畢,出遊於觀之上,喟然而歎。仲尼之歎,蓋歎魯也。
舊時孔子參加魯國歲末祭祀,禮成之後,出去行下睇下,仲唉聲歎氣起來。孔子咁感慨,都係為左魯國嗟。
言偃在側曰:「君子何歎?」
弟子言偃係孔子身邊,就問:「先生,因咩事歎氣啊?」
孔子曰:「大道之行也,與三代之英,丘未之逮也,而有志焉。
孔子:「大道實行既世代,同夏、商、周三代賢君當政既時代,我無經歷過,但係好嚮往!
大道之行也,天下為公。
個陣時呀,實行大道,天下係眾人共有。 Continue reading

《認知與通達》__ 江紹倫
矇矓起步
關於人怎樣從「不知」進步到「知」、從知其一到知其二到知全,從知到明,從已知到預知的各種過程及效應,古今的多個文化都各有闡述。莊子說「通達」卻是有獨見的,他把人的知與宇宙連而為一,述說人不但「知物」,還有「知人」和「知天」。他相信人的獨立性,卻把他放在宇宙的大格局中言論。

讀書偶拾之二 【中國哲學中的知行觀 – 知易行難】__梁梓堅.岑建成(71)
年輕時看過孫中山先生在『心理建設』一書,提出 “知難行易”,一反傳統的 “知易行難” 一詞。當時覺得只是不同的文字鋪排,同一意見的兩面表述,未有深入瞭解。
近年看多了一點書,才認識多些其中微言大義。
《真人的美滿人生》__ 江紹倫

怎樣做真人
莊子借古人的模範說:〝古之真人……不忘其所始,不求其所終。受而喜之,忘而復之。是之謂不以心捐道,不以人助天,是之謂真人。〞
翻譯成白話,即是〝古時的真人,不會忘本,也不追求自己的歸宿。他欣然接受週圍的人事和物質,視生與死為自然往返。這即是不用心計去影響道,亦不求改變大自然。這就是真人。〞
