Prajna Paramita Sutra

Shariputra,

Form does not differ from emptiness
Emptiness itself is a Form
Form itself is Emptiness
So are Feeling, Cognition, Formation and Consciousness

The state of nature are empty from all characteristics. They are not produced.
They are not destroyed, defiled, not pure or neither increase or diminish.
Therefore in EMPTINESS - there is no FORM, FEELING, COGNITION, FORMATION or CONSCIOUSNESS
No eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body and most importantly no mind, no sights, sounds, smells, taste, objects to touch or dharmas.
No ignorance or ending of ignorance
no old age
no death
There are no suffering, no accumulating, no extinction, no understanding and no attaining. 

Gate-gate paragate parasamgate bodhi svaha

This is an important text which i manage to find when i went back to Melaka. It was stored in my room for years and true enough, this is the answers i seek. In the end of the day, what we are accumulating? What we are looking for actually? So what Buddha said is true, we dont need to go to the end of the earth to seek the answers, we just need to look within us. He spend years seeking the answers and manage to find a systematic way to let go all our attachments.

Life is an illusion, it will go away, all of us will die. But the question is do we need to be reborn back, go back to the system again. Its tiring man, tiring.

so what those mantra means?

It means that we dont need to put any meaning to anything, detach from everything. Let go of our pre-conceived minds, thoughts, and most importantly our opinions. Don't claim any belongings to what we do. Its empty.

It will never last and in fact it's not ours. It comes and goes.  

So i think i had enough. I dont want to be in school or in university back, to be back in the system ( the matrix ), have my talents and capabilities tested and evaluated by inferior nutcase, to face all those rigorous societal system and structures such as marriage, accumulating assets to prove how much im worth,having kids, growing old, being depressed, compared, judged,have my heart broken.

All of this is bullshit and yes I think i had enough.

Just like how Morpheus offered Neo the blue and the red pill. He chose the Blue and see how deep the rabbit hole is. 

So let's wake up shall we.

Enough of this dream. Guess we are the one that have to wake ourselves up.

May all of you be free from any mental, physical suffering, harm and danger, always, always be well and happy.

Balai Seni Negara's Treasures

Image
after weeks of lecturing and exposing my students to various masterpieces of the Western paintings, sculptures and other notable artefacts, it's time for me to introduce them our nation's wealth and masterpieces which i deem noteworthy. Q : how i evaluate a work of art to be noteworthy? A : it must stand through the test of time, requires full attention and forget all the pretentious glorified curatorial writings. The image produced must show evidence of thoughts, thoughtful strokes and skills - in terms of composition, mastery of the colors and must be one that control the gallery space. ( to be honest, i cant appreciate digital paintings as it is missing the most vital elements - that is texture and the evident of the strokes. ) example - Michaelangelo's Pieta and Monet's Waterlilies. What is brilliant is, i brought them to National Visual Arts Gallery, where they got a chance to meet up my old dean/sifu/friend/mentor/adopted guardian angel/humanist - Naji...

The Final Lesson by Syed Ahmad Jamal

Image
Intro This is will be a long note - edited again thoroughly. Before i begin, this writing will touch on an individual goes by the name of  Syed Ahmad Jamal ( our National Laureate ) who passed away on 2011 and DBKL - stands for Kuala Lumpur Municipal Council. My heart dropped when Syed Ahmad Jamal public sculpture entitled Puncak Purnama ( Lunar Peaks, 1986 ) was destroyed by the local KL municipal council DBKL few days back. DBKL stands for Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur - actually is quite notorious for a list of bad PR moves by cutting off trees, blocking the Pertiwi Soup Kitchen ( which been feeding the homeless ), their zealous traffic summons - but seriously they broke the camel's back by destroying the modernist, geometrical - clean cut sculpture. The Battle of Non Permission This sculpture was highlighted in  2010 as "someone" decided to pimp it up, changing it's appearance without Syed Ahmad Jamal's permission.This is how it looks like.........

Awesome Bowie Notes No 1.

Image
William Boyd collaborated with David Bowie - published this book as a hoax, presented as a real biography. "Nat Tate" is a combination of the names of two London art galleries, the National Gallery and the Tate Gallery. Boyd and his conspirators set about convincing the New York glitterati (social elites) that the reputation of this influential abstract expressionist needed to be re-evaluated. Bowie held a launch party on April Fool's Day eve, 1998 and read extracts from the book, while someone talked about Tate's friendships with both Picasso and Braque. About a week later, journalist David Lister,said that no one he spoke to claimed to know Tate well, but no one claimed not to have heard of him. In reality, it appears that few were fooled and most of the big names in the arts world (including artists, collectors, art historian, art dealers, New York based writers like Paul Auster, and editors of literary journals) quickly realized that Nat Tate ...
