BEING GENUINELY HAPPY

blessings | families | Happiness | money | relationships | sharing

Oftentimes, we hear people say, “I want to give my kids the best.”

And oftentimes, too, giving the BEST would come in the form of expensive toys and clothes, and education in private or exclusive schools.
“I want to build a better future for my family,” so they would say. And ironically, parents would have to leave their children behind in pursuit of this dream. We see so many incomplete families these days --- mothers or fathers, or both, working abroad, leaving their kids to the care of grandparents or close relatives or even friends.

Brief introduction of qigong

buddhism | Health | Meditation | qigong | sharing | Taoism

The Qigong is from China, around 3000-5000 years old and there was no proper history of how it had emanated from. Simply speaking, it is very closely related to the Yin-Yang theory (the theory of Polarity), and Chinese universal concept. So, it is believed to be invented by ancient toaists. It was said that in the Sixth Century, a Buddhist monk from India, whose name was Bodhidarma or "Damo" the 28th patriarch of Mahayana Buddhism, bought along a meditative method called “Chan”. This added more ingredients in Chinese qigong. And, “Chan” is an important method in Buddhist qigong. Tibetan Buddhism owns unique meditative methods and it is quite close to Indian yoga meditation. It is highly appreciated by Chinese qigong masters. This brief history has built a fundamental basis of Chinese qigong system.

Dinner together

family | news | sharing | togetherness

How many times have you sat and have dinner with your family members the last five months?
To me, having dinner together mean sharing the day's news. Some families like to talk during dinner. They would discuss, share and even laugh over any events that they came across with during the day.
However, there are also some families that have strict rules about talking during dinner time. Everyone must pay attention to what they are eating and not talking. The atmosphere is solemn.

WHY 43 THINGS ?

activity | blog | ideas | people | sharing

www.43things.com is a blog site that caught my fancy a few months back when i was surfing the web to find something different. In essence it is a blog site but unlike other blogs, encourages the concept of sharing experiences not just opinions.
The basic idea is to create a list of the 43 things you want to do. The variety the site offers is refreshing, as the "things" range from shaving one's armpits to writing a biography of one's cat! It also has a separate section of "places visited" and group activites where people can team up to achieve a certain goal like weight loss or just do something different they have not tried before. The best part is, you do not have to live in the same neighbourhood to partake in such group activites. Each group member can do the activity himself and share the experience with the other members.
