Vacation / #SummerOfLens was going great until... my camera fell into the lake...
I was able to retrieve the photos, but the camera body and lens are ruined.
It's a huge blow to my kit 😵
If you collect this post, you'll get a piece of photography/art as a thank you for helping me rebuild my kit.
It'll likely be an exclusive Manifold Claim Page on Base, or some kind of exclusive Lens post.
Open to suggestions on how to distribute, thanks frens.
- It seems that I can eat normally, but I am still lethargic and tired easily these days.These days cooking must burn incense.
- On August 6th, I called Shunfeng Express and sent out two parcels separately. These past two days, I cooked noodles using freshly drawn well water and a clay pot, but even after eating them, my stomach still feels uncomfortable. The noodles didn't provide much energy, and my productivity has been low. Though the discomfort isn't very noticeable, I'm at least not feeling completely comfortable. My mood is somewhat down. I can't concentrate on chanting or reciting scriptures, and occasionally, when I manage to get into a working state, I feel slightly better. However, most of the time, both my studying and physical condition are not in good shape.
- Last night, I fried peanuts with lard, and after eating them, I felt uncomfortable. I couldn't sleep all night. Whether it's at night or in the morning, whenever I cook and eat in this house, I usually feel unwell. I want to be healthy. I need to escape.
I watched Han Yu's English teaching videos for a while, then lay down to sleep but couldn't doze off. So, I took out the new iPad and started scrolling through Douyin (TikTok), looking for videos about Taizhou, buying houses in forest farms, and searching for property listings on AJK. I kept at it until it was already dawn, around six o'clock, and then finally managed to fall asleep. I woke up past ten o'clock.
I washed my face and went to the town to buy fast food and watermelon. After eating braised pork, flatfish, stir-fried soybeans, and pickled cabbage, along with rice, all for 20 yuan, I finished with a 5-yuan big watermelon. Finally, I had a normal meal again.
Today, before going downstairs, I wore a radiation-proof hat and a radiation-proof jacket. It's not too hot outside, and I don't feel dizzy. I don't know if it's due to the weather or the radiation-proof clothing, but at least I don't feel dizzy anymore.
Yesterday, around five in the afternoon, I worshiped the 88 Buddhas and DLB. Then I felt dizzy. It seems like I can only move within the area to the east of my bed. If I take one step forward towards the transformer, I will feel dizzy. Yesterday, my efficiency was low, and it was another half-sluggish day.
I only studied less than three episodes of English. I finished high school material, but clearly, I haven't remembered much. The curiosity about the CET-4 course overcame my desire to review, so I ended up studying one and a half episodes of the CET-4 course. My memory is a bit poor.
Moreover, I haven't recited scriptures for many days. It's as if I am under constant electromagnetic wave invasion, and if I get into a state, I will absorb more radiation, as if my tongue coating is always thick, greasy, and yellowish. I still frequently recall the past, the tragic experiences in various stages of the first half of my life.
- Today was a day of failure, all because of last night's meal of pork. In the morning, I rode an electric bike to GJ and bought some pork products: 6 yuan per kilogram of pig lard costing 10 yuan, and pork costing 14 yuan per kilogram amounting to 16 yuan. I stewed the pork with sliced ginger and various spices I bought, in a clay pot for an unknown duration, at least half an hour, perhaps even longer, until I took it out in the evening. I sliced the cooked pork and stir-fried it with onions. I had three buns that an old lady gave me on New Year's Day, and I ate three of them for lunch, leaving the remaining three without refrigerating them to eat later. The pork was difficult to eat, making it feel like chewing wax. Even with the addition of the 48-yuan bottle of Maotai liquor I bought at noon, there was no sense of happiness in the meal. It would have been better to eat the leftover pork lard from noon, which gave me a feeling of energy when combined with the long eggplants that had been sitting for many days.
By the way, I took out the leftovers from the two meals yesterday and offered them to the people resting in the graves behind the house several times. However, after some time passed since eating, my stomach began to ache slightly. Despite it being past seven in the evening, I used moxibustion on my abdomen and lightly stimulated certain acupoints to alleviate the discomfort. Although I didn't experience further abdominal pain or diarrhea, I still felt uncomfortable throughout the night. Even reciting Buddhist mantras with all my strength didn't bring much mental or physical peace and comfort. This unusual night saw me waking up at 2 a.m. without being able to fall back asleep. So, I opened my Mac and watched English-learning videos.
By the time I finally fell asleep again and woke up, it was already past eight o'clock. The reflection in the mirror showed me looking sickly, haggard, and aged. Whenever I eat the wrong things or face an abnormal state, my appearance becomes so unbearable. I'm not sure what caused the problem—whether I used the wrong water to boil it or if the buns had spoiled during the afternoon. However, I suspect the issue was more likely with the pork itself. After all, such meticulously stewed delicacies are bound to make one feel uncomfortable when consumed. Tonight, I stir-fried some zucchini the old lady had given me many days ago, along with a potato and two eggs, then made pancakes with flour and spread them with pork lard. I had the meal with plain boiled water. After eating, I felt comfortable and energized.
Today was a day of listlessness, with nothing significant accomplished. I only managed to learn a bit of English and made some small adjustments to my A-share securities account. I didn't have breakfast, and around noon, I took out the two peaches I bought in GJ yesterday from the plastic bag, only to find them rotten and with an abnormal taste. After eating them, I felt dizzy. I slept for a long time during the afternoon. When I woke up, I continued lying down, watching insignificant short videos. By almost five o'clock, I took out a cucumber from the refrigerator, peeled it, and ate it. Then I continued lying down. At that point, I decided to have a proper dinner. This restored some of my energy. It is now 7:20 in the evening, and I wonder if I still need to continue the struggle.
- I just watched a video of Beqi on YouTube. She is a Chinese-Canadian finance blogger who has been living in Canada for many years. In the video, she spoke highly of traditional Chinese medicine and even mentioned that she doesn't want to settle for an ordinary life after returning to China. She plans to start a new business from selling goods on the street. It's quite unexpected, considering her abilities and financial resources in the field of finance. This has become an important career planning guide for me. Firstly, I can't give up on my dream of practicing traditional Chinese medicine. Even though I don't enjoy dealing with patients all day long, I want a job that offers freedom in terms of time and space. It's not suitable for me to become a doctor solely focused on helping others. If I only consider my own quality of life, I believe that practicing Buddhism diligently would be sufficient. My path in medicine will be challenging and lengthy, but having a certification is better than having none, and being prepared is always a good thing. It will cost 17,000 yuan and require a significant amount of time and energy. Currently, it doesn't seem like the right timing. It appears that I need to focus on accumulating knowledge and experience in my current field completely and from scratch.
- In the evening, I fried some peanuts, but I didn't control the heat well, so they weren't very crispy. I'm not sure if they were fully cooked. I ate them with a soup made of Coix seed and red beans. I didn't feel good afterward, lacking energy. Many times after eating here, I have this kind of feeling—dull eyes and discomfort in my waist. I think being a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine is not easy, and I don't really enjoy dealing with sick people all the time. I just saw on TikTok that Xuyitang mentioned that the technical methods in traditional Chinese medicine only account for a small proportion, and the doctor's own energy and magnetic field are more important. That's true. If my own energy is not sufficient, as someone with a sensitive constitution, I can feel drained for several days just by being close to a person with negative energy. How can I practice medicine like that? Besides, I don't have any clients, and I don't even have a support base anywhere. The entrepreneurial path will be unnecessarily difficult. I believe that destiny will give me the most suitable gift, providing me with the career I desire and the most suitable living environment.
- Went to bed a little after 1 am and woke up to find it was only around 5:50 am. Without much preparation, not even washing up, I went straight to work, like a living machine. This morning, the gas fee was very low, only around 15, so I smoothly carried on until around 8 o'clock. However, I encountered obstacles with the BNB chain on the OKEx wallet, and I kept trying and experimenting. I have 114 USD on this chain, and I don't know what to do. There is no smooth communication channel with the official support. For lunch, I had a pancake made from three fried eggs, stir-fried vegetables with eggplant and long beans, and a soup made with coix seed, adzuki beans, dried lychee, and jujube. The rest of the afternoon proved that my energy levels were still weak. When I woke up from my nap, it was already past 2:40 pm, and I still felt sleepy, lacking the motivation I had when I returned after eating meat yesterday. Through the experience of walking around without a mask in GJ yesterday, it seems that I have made up my mind to live in a beautiful small town that is convenient for food and health for a few months. Before taking a nap, I listened to a two-hour replay of a livestream about the specialist physician certificate for ZY Traditional Chinese Medicine. I have almost decided to sign up. After all, this is a policy dividend, and having a medical qualification is undoubtedly an important investment in my life. When I woke up, I thought of a problem, which is the issue of the SXBZX people. They are restricted even from taking the judicial examination and the postgraduate entrance examination, and they can't even be ordinary corporate legal representatives or executives. Can they allow you to practice medicine? I felt a sense of sadness and despair, and then I saw a news headline: "Chow Yun-fat, 68, suffers a stroke and enters the hospital, will donate all his wealth, no children destined for a bleak old age." It added to the desolation of my life, leaving me wondering if the only answer is to abandon this life and seek a pure land.
- Last night I went to bed very late, and I'm not sure if it was past midnight. My brain wasn't functioning well today, and I can't remember much. I woke up a little after 5 a.m. and groggily started working after a few head nods. I boiled dried lychee, jujube, and longan in water, let it simmer for a while, and drank it. At 7:40, I rode my electric bike to the town to pick up a package (eyelashes). Then I went to the old shop called GJ and had some steamed dumplings for 7 yuan per basket. I met up with my friend Yu as planned, and he started using the new 3cm-thick moxa stick he bought to give me moxibustion for nearly two hours. The effect was mediocre. Maybe it's because I initially placed my phone next to my head, or perhaps his room is too close to the village's large power station. In any case, my head feels a bit dizzy. I had a meal of four dishes and a soup at a Jiangxi-style restaurant. Both the tofu and pig tail had a strange odor of spoilage. Combined with the lack of sleep, my mind wasn't sharp, and my mental state was average. I almost had a stomachache when I got back, but luckily I didn't. After taking a nap, I woke up feeling okay for work, but considering I spent 140 yuan on the meal, it wasn't ideal. After dinner, I went with him to Yizu Tang for a foot massage. I felt a bit silly while talking during the foot massage. I was also in a somewhat floating state. I need to cultivate my righteous spirit. I thought about how I spoke so many vulgar words with a mentally unstable woman and even entertained the idea of engaging in promiscuous activities. It truly scares me now. If I sleep with someone I shouldn't sleep with, I will be assimilated by her and inherit her bad karma. I've been careless! I must firmly become a person of refined taste. I need to be extremely picky. I won't be involved with women who aren't young, healthy, positive, and of high quality. I won't even sleep with someone I find unattractive. It's just strange that during the two nights of entanglement and nonsense with her, I actually had some auspicious dreams, like picking up money from the ground, and two other good dreams, but I can't remember them clearly. Later, when I returned to a normal state, I had a night of nightmares, like dreaming that my beloved MacBook was destroyed, among others. I worked diligently from this afternoon until evening. However, chatting with XP took up some time. He initiated the conversation, and logically, I shouldn't have paid attention to him, but I couldn't resist giving constant advice. For myself, it's also a process of organizing my thought system. If I can use these words for secondary creation and write them for self-media, then it becomes leverage and transforms into productivity. Yesterday evening on WeChat, I came across information about a professional college program in traditional Chinese medicine posted by ZY's salesperson. It reawakened my dream of studying Chinese medicine. I had a voice call with her, and I even thought about taking the postgraduate entrance examination, of course, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine. I remember learning about the Master's program in Chinese medicine offered in Hong Kong before. The training fee and application fee for the college entrance exam seemed to be around 25,000 yuan, and the tuition for three years would be at least 50,000 yuan. The exam includes Chinese, English, mathematics, and subject-specific tests, with a total score of 360. I think getting at least 200 in the subject-specific test after three to five days of training is enough, but I can't remember clearly. My memory has been very poor these days. I'm afraid that if I continue like this for a long time, I might become stupid.
- Just now, I received another notification about someone's premature death. These past few days, I have even completely let go of my awareness of life's impermanence. I really need to diligently recite the Buddha's name and cultivate my spiritual practice.https://tieba.baidu.com/p/8494709954?&share=9105&fr=sharewise&is_video=false&unique=A973C98D103879EB52CC0686BACC0189&st=1689205468&client_type=1&client_version=12.26.5.0&sfc=copy&share_from=post&source=12_16_sharecard_a
- Yesterday, I gradually returned to a normal state. From now on, stay far away from negative information. Perhaps what you truly love is your work and studies. You should be clear about what brings you peace of mind, vitality, clarity of thought, keeps you away from poverty and hardship, and attracts all things beautiful. Yesterday was the first day of the "beginning of heat" period (a traditional Chinese solar term). In the morning, I ate a few dried lychees and did moxibustion for an hour. The moxibustion effect was average, maybe because the quality of the moxa stick from Tong Ren Tang was not good, as it didn't have much moxa fragrance. At noon, I ate a mango, boiled another mango and three dried lychees in water, and cooked the corn sent by the old lady with JGSQW and LWDHW (names of herbs) and some dried orange peels in a clay pot. After boiling, I let it simmer for a while. I ate two of them first, took a nap, and finished the remaining corn in the afternoon. Then I soaked my feet in medicinal water. In the afternoon, I remember waking up at 7:20 in the morning, half an hour ago. I had a good night's sleep, even though I went to bed after 11:30 last night. I opened the curtains and looked outside, but I felt a slight dizziness until now. I lay back in bed, feeling a bit restless, and then got up again. I couldn't find the reason. At that time, the Wi-Fi was turned off. I only had one mobile phone's Wi-Fi, and after 5 or 6 o'clock last night, I continued watching "The Chronicles of the Shadow Sword" (a Chinese TV series) on it. When I closed the book, I forgot whether it was 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock. I watched a video on YouTube about spreading the mat on the floor for the "Great Week" (referring to a traditional Buddhist practice) and placed the Buddhist scriptures on the table in front of me.
- The night before last, I naturally woke up around five o'clock in the morning. During the day, I took another nap since I hadn't slept the whole night before. Last night, I had a casual chat with Ms. Lin again. My mind was still active, and even after it was past one o'clock at night, I didn't feel sleepy. On a whim, I left a message for Sister Li, telling her that in the wellness center project, she could run the traditional Chinese medicine clinic openly and boldly. I mentioned that the wellness industry is an awkward one. Then I didn't wake up until after seven in the morning. Although I didn't go downstairs much during the day, I still felt slightly dizzy and fatigued. There wasn't much sense of happiness. I watched a video about small pleasures, where the Tibetan people she encountered, although they haven't seen much of the world like she has, live a stable life that she envies. Of course, I envy it too. At the same time, I envy the girl in the video. She is youthful and beautiful, and free like the wind. When I think about my situation, I don't have the right to give in to decadence. I can only keep running forward. Learning English is something that really bothers me because I'm still struggling to make a living. I can only consider it as a way to practice focus and overcome distractions. I can even treat Yu Ge's classes as a form of entertainment and relaxation. On July 9th, when I went to Yu's place, I saw Qinghui. She lost her mother when she was young, and after her father remarried, he abandoned her. I feel sorry for her, but I can't do anything to help.
- July 8th was an unfortunate day. In the afternoon, I had intended to take a ride on my electric bike and go out for a bit. However, as I went downstairs, I felt dizzy again, and accidentally released the throttle, causing the electric bike to rush down the steps and crash, rendering it immobile. That evening, despite my repeated reports and refusals, YouTube shamelessly recommended a video to me: "A Woman's First Experience of Being Penetrated." Those days, I happened to have thoughts about women, and coupled with frequent physical discomfort (mainly dizziness), today on July 10th, a little after 9 o'clock in the morning, an elderly lady came to deliver vegetables. I only opened the door to the west room on the first floor, put the vegetables in the fridge, and stayed in the main hall for a while. Dizziness struck again, and my mind was noticeably not sharp. This has happened multiple times, undoubtedly due to the transformer causing trouble. After clicking on this video, I inadvertently ended up watching many other videos by the same blogger, especially one where a female executive spoke provocatively about her open marriage, where her husband allowed other men to be intimate with her. It stirred restlessness within me, and the serenity of my body disappeared, replaced by the agitation of lust. Surprisingly, I couldn't sleep all night, but I didn't dare to indulge myself. The next morning, Yuxiong came to tow the electric bike , and I clearly felt physically weak and my mind was not sharp. Dizziness continued to occur frequently, especially when I went downstairs. The headache persisted after returning from Yuxiong's place yesterday, so it must be a problem in this area. In any case, this place has become an ominous place. Eating the food cooked here often leads to illness, going downstairs leads to illness, and in a state of mental and physical unease, it is most susceptible to engaging in non-progressive and even self-indulgent actions.
- If you observe the truly wealthy people around you, you will notice a common trait among them: even though they are well aware that a person is incapable, they do not remind, guide, or mentor them. Even if their knowledge and experience surpass that of the other person, they won't offer advice.
Do you know why? It's because offering guidance and lecturing someone requires energy. The lowest emotional intelligence behavior is incessantly preaching and reasoning. The wise are cautious with their words, while fools believe they can dictate the world.
Persuading someone has never been about reasoning; it is like hitting a wall.
Enlightening someone is never about preaching; it is through hardship.
- Yesterday afternoon, around three or four o'clock, I rode my electric bike to the town to pick up a package. It has been around 20 months since I last traveled extensively, so I took a bike ride towards Lingkou, passing by undulating hills, villages, small shops, ancient trees, temples, and a plant market. However, it didn't bring me much instant satisfaction or joy. In fact, the whole trip took less than two hours, but if that time were spent on learning or working, I would have gained more satisfaction, fulfillment, joy, and a sense of accomplishment. I no longer yearn for the hustle and bustle outside.
Peng sent me a message, and I didn't feel like responding to him. He's not the most reliable person, and communicating with him is like talking to a brick wall. However, I should still maintain a warm-hearted attitude and appreciate his friendliness. After all, he wants to entice me towards wealth and freedom. I shouldn't cool down any friendly heart or warm hand.
- my house
I woke up a little after five in the morning. I didn't sleep too late last night, around ten o'clock or so. I didn't wake up in the middle of the night, so it was a rare and good sleep state, probably due to consuming the pig lard, even though it was slightly overcooked. However, my appearance looks a bit aged and tired. This morning, the dizziness came back to attack me. It may have been just from going downstairs or walking to the adjacent room. The dizziness is now affecting my work and daily life. I searched online using the keywords "transformer dizziness" and found many people with the same symptoms. Some experience dizziness even when they are 50 meters away from a transformer. Others have suffered from mental confusion and falls, and they sued the power supply company and received a compensation of 100,000 yuan. It's a scorching hot day, and I don't even have decent clothes to wear. I really don't feel like moving. Financial stress, no specific preferred destination, restricted mobility, and the ongoing pandemic...
- In the morning, around seven o'clock, I rode my electric bicycle to the temple to buy incense for 220 yuan. Today is the 18th day of the 5th lunar month, the market day in GJ village. I bought pig lard for 28 yuan. I also spent 10 yuan to buy nearly 13 kilograms of sweet melons, priced at five yuan for every six kilograms. When I returned home and started boiling the pig lard, I suddenly felt dizzy. I'm not sure if it's because I was too close to the transformer, but it's at least eight meters away. My mind wasn't functioning properly, and as a result, I overcooked the pig lard. The star anise inside turned into charcoal. I checked online and found out that it can be carcinogenic and should not be consumed. It was all in vain. Should I quickly escape from this place? Yet again, I'm torn about where to go, especially in this scorching weather. I'm also restricted in my movements, not to mention the ongoing pandemic. I basically rejected Lijie's offer. Today, while I was using the bathroom, I resumed listening to Liu Yuanyuan's book "Precision and Effort." It talked about a foot massage parlor owner who makes millions a year and spends most of his time traveling and having fun. He had the experience of successfully running his first store, then hired a CEO to manage the business and established an operational system that runs automatically. Suddenly, I felt capable and wanted to become such a person. The author said that she never sees anything as impossible. Even with only a 30% chance, she would give it a try and ignore the 70% failure rate. Always optimistic in her attempts and seeking the possibility of success. I admire her a lot. I have indeed become negative and weak, but isn't it a self-defense mechanism after recognizing myself? Actually, that's not right. For example, when I was starting a company in Shanghai, if I had a more positive and courageous mindset, I could have turned the situation around against all odds. But I gave up and became the self-pitying person I am now.
- Professor Chen Guo from Fudan University has a very healing statement:
"For the rest of your life, don't argue with anyone. Even if someone says one plus one equals seven, you should smile and say they're right. When your heart is big, problems become small. When your heart is generous, worries disappear. Life is short, so don't argue with anyone, because those who argue with others are not happy themselves. Therefore, you should love yourself well."
I strongly agree with this and suddenly realize its truth. When your heart is big, problems become small; when your heart is small, problems become big. What can hurt a person is not the words and actions of others, but their own attitude.
Not arguing doesn't mean there is no reason to argue, but rather it's a choice, and a wise one at that. If our values don't align, it's enough to just smile. If our perspectives don't match, it's enough to respect each other. There's no need to fight over who is right or wrong. Not only does it waste time, but it also makes everyone uncomfortable.
In this world, there is no absolute right or wrong. Each person has different standards for judging right and wrong because of their different understanding, perspectives, and starting points.
No matter what others say, as long as it doesn't affect your own interests, there's no need to refute it. Arguing back and forth will only make things more complicated and distance the relationship between each other.
A frog in a well cannot understand the ocean, and a summer insect cannot understand ice. What you think is only your own perspective, so don't expect others to always stand in your shoes, let alone force them to agree with you.
Because arguing over a single statement until you turn red and your neck veins pop out is truly foolish. When you engage in an argument, first and foremost, you yourself are not happy.
See through without exposing, understand without evaluating others. Know etiquette without arguing about principles. Treating others well is treating yourself well.
- I still easily feel fatigued. Despite soaking my feet in Jin Kui Shen Qi Wan and Liu Wei Di Huang Wan in the afternoon, and just finishing a soothing moxibustion session, I find myself lying tiredly on the bed after a brief period of work in front of the computer. This has been happening frequently recently. The dizziness has ceased, but the dreams from last night still carry an ominous tone. I dreamt of people moving and dismantling things in the grand hall downstairs. The house I reside in is also soon to be their target for demolition. Perhaps it's a case of "daytime thoughts, nighttime dreams," but I am in dire need of a sense of security and a stable, comfortable dwelling where I can live and work peacefully.
- Even dubbing and subtitles make it a headache for me
I have a courtyard, nestled in the beautiful waterscape of the south, where tranquility and serenity surround me. The river flows crystal clear, and the fields and forests stretch far and wide. This is the place where I practice my benevolence, and people from neighboring counties come seeking my wisdom. I have a group of intelligent and obedient disciples, and an organic farm where delicious fruits, vegetables, and grains grow in their natural glory.
In the courtyard, the air is filled with the melody of birds and the fragrance of flowers. Waiting guests sit under the trees, sipping tea, playing chess, and engaging in heartfelt conversations. Two white swans leisurely glide on the lake in front of the courtyard, while two playful dogs frolic among the crowd. A mother hen leads her chicks to forage in the grass. The courtyard opens for only four days a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. The remaining days are dedicated to my other pursuits, personal interests, and the enrichment of life's quality.
With low operating costs and substantial income, our lives are relaxed and content. We enjoy delicious and nutritionally balanced meals three times a day, while our minds and bodies are filled with abundant energy. The remaining years of our lives are filled with infinite excitement and fulfillment.
- Waking up early in the morning, the dizziness still persisted. This is definitely not normal. As I descended the stairs, I heard the humming sound of the transformer. Another day has arrived, and I am still grappling with where I should anchor myself. Maybe I should move to the neighboring room first. During the process of moving, I accidentally scratched my left palm on a chair, causing it to bleed. I checked my JD.com order history and found that I purchased 20 band-aids at the end of October 2022, followed by another 100 on November 18th, making a total of 120. It has been nine months now, and upon counting, I realized that I have already used up nearly 90 of them. As someone who works from home, achieving such a record is quite unbelievable, isn't it?
- By the way, in the early morning, I heard about two Pure Land sages. One was in their twenties when they passed away to the Western realm, and the other was only 48 years old. After listening to their stories and returning to my dreams, I dreamt of swirling dust falling upon me, from top to bottom. There was another dream that seemed quite unsettling. Up until yesterday, I have been living alone in this residential area filled with graves for 20 months. It has dawned upon my conscious mind that I must relinquish this present life and transform all the predetermined shortcomings into precious nourishment for practicing Buddhism. Once I have settled my financial responsibilities, I will wholeheartedly devote myself to the practice of the Pure Land teachings, aiming for great accomplishments within one, three, or even five years. Even if I lack the ability to support my parents financially and repay their kindness, I will undoubtedly find another way to repay them manifold.
- In the past few days, I have been experiencing dizziness frequently. After eating stir-fried pork with potatoes and onions, I felt dizzy, thinking that the pork from the supermarket might not have been fresh enough. The next day, I used the leftover pork fat to stir-fry bottle gourd and onions, but I still felt dizzy. I thought it could be due to soy sauce or the pork fat being problematic. However, today when I drank a few sips of boiled corn water, I started feeling dizzy again, even though the Wi-Fi wasn't turned on at that time. Tonight, after eating two cucumbers, I felt dizzy once again. I thought it could be because the last half of a cucumber that fell on the ground and was picked up wasn't properly washed after disinfecting it with alcohol, but this reaction seems too extreme. If it was due to the power supply from an external transformer, it doesn't seem to make sense either, as the dizziness always occurs after finishing eating. Perhaps this is truly a haunted residence, and I'm unsure of what to do next. I should continue to study and work hard. These days, if I'm not studying mathematical analysis, whenever I'm feeling unwell or tired, I switch to studying English to relax. Otherwise, I focus on my work. I listen to Liu Yuanyuan's "Precise Effort" and feel grateful for her excellent book. I admire her as if she were a goddess and have benefited greatly from her teachings. However, silently, I make a vow not to stay in the world of suffering, this mundane world, for too long. If my financial and health conditions are not particularly optimistic, 73 years old would be a good age to pass away to the Western realm. Because I haven't been diligently practicing Buddhism lately, but I know that it is my ultimate destination and the resting place of my soul. These past few days, I have been waking up around 2 am, sometimes getting up to work for a while before going back to sleep. Today is the fifteenth day of the lunar month, so I meditated and listened to the "Pure Land Sage's Record" for half an hour. Looking back now, I don't have any new insights.
- Becky said that AI's broader and deeper applications in the field of financial transactions would eliminate the existence of retail investors in the stock market. Perhaps it's true, as a certain divination once said, that one diligently learns the techniques to slay dragons, only to find no place to apply that knowledge. Regarding airdrops, it seems like the right choice to allocate less than one-third of my time, energy, and money. The UK has already drafted regulations to classify airdrops as illegal activities. It may be implemented within a year, and other mainstream countries might follow suit. As Brother Chen mentioned, we are getting old and need to settle down. We can no longer wander around aimlessly. At twilight, I stand downstairs, gazing at the mountains before me, contemplating my future. Finally, in the past year or two, I have come to a clear realization of myself. I am willing to become a practitioner who abandons this current life, swiftly resolving matters of life and death. Time is running out.
- I hope to recite at least one English classic 300 times within two years from today. It can be Confucianism, Buddhism, or European and American classics.
- Brother Yu came again yesterday. The topic of conversation is mainly about how I live and work in peace and contentment.
- The flowers are still blooming, but the fragrant scent that permeates the mountains and forests has disappeared overnight. Everything has changed, because today is the Chinese lunar calendar's Start of Summer festival. The ancients of China were truly wise.
- Yesterday was the 15th day of the third lunar month. I woke up in the morning feeling very comfortable, probably because I had eaten leek and egg stir-fry the day before, which had raised my yang energy. Sometimes, eating meat can also give me a similar feeling of increased energy. However, I have not been particularly diligent in my spiritual practice. I only chanted the Six-Syllable Mantra and the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's name, and have not recited any Buddhist scriptures for many days. I didn't even seem to have worshipped the Buddha much, except for offering incense to 88 Buddhas the day before and bowing a few times. However, I did not experience any particular benefits from it that day or night. Of course, I believe that practicing according to the Dharma will yield better results.
After going back to sleep, I woke up at 8 o'clock, washed up, and ate a whole white melon. Then, I went downstairs to the main hall and paid my respects to the Buddha and Bodhisattva statues one by one, offering newly purchased incense and lighting only two candles. Actually, the fragrant flowers all over the mountain and the bright sunshine can also be offered with a heart of gratitude and respect to all the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.
- "Lençóis Maranhenses" in Brazil
A friend of a friend took a small plane ride and captured the breathtaking "Lençóis Maranhenses" in Brazil. It's a rare and wondrous sight of thousands of emerald-green lagoons scattered like jewels on endless white sand dunes.
- What's a sentence that could give you an epiphany?
The ability to filter out what drains you is the ultimate skill, anything or anyone that exhausts you is not your responsibility to deal with.
In the world of adults, there's no education, only selection.
"Don't lose control when you're feeling lost." Don't reveal your vulnerability to others.

In a world where even swans are judged, it's not necessary to fit in with any group. Just be yourself. - Arthur Schopenhauer
The more skills you learn, the less you need to ask for help.
When you dislike the people around you, the best way to express it is not to argue with them but to work hard and distance yourself from them. That way, they will disappear from your life forever, almost as if they were dead.
- It's been a few days since I last posted anything. Maybe it's because of my physical condition, I don't have any fighting power and I'm not in the right state of mind. It wasn't until the day before yesterday when we chanted together to meditate on Medicine Buddha that I felt better the next day. I registered for IPR with renewed energy and bought an IP to import ADS, but I had trouble with it many times and contacted both customer services, but only Peng's hub worked, while IPR's customer service said that any tool could be used normally with ADS hub. When talking to Peng, I didn't show any anxious or depressed emotions. I was just a little tired. I hope that in the future, everything that is beneficial to me can be achieved smoothly. Yesterday, there didn't seem to be any progress. I didn't do any interaction, nor did I study or grow much. These few days, I have often looked at some boring content, which is a sign of weak mind and willpower. This morning, I took a Didi to Sanmen County, which I haven't done for a long time. Many residential areas are surrounded by mountains and water, not inferior to my current residence. When I looked up at a building sitting alone on the mountainside, I felt it was not a place where humans should live, only lonely gods should live here. But I am a mortal. These days, I often think of women and hurt myself, and I really need to move to a new place. This place no longer gives me any sense of happiness. I want to say goodbye to the graves and white flags that surround my residence, and I want to walk into the human world. I want to enjoy delicious food, fill my body with energy, and fight passionately. Yesterday, I sat on the transformer stand in the southwest corner of the courtyard in the warm spring breeze, with various floral scents in the wind and emerald green mountains in front of me, but my heart was no longer here. I have repeatedly asked Bodhisattva Weituo and the gods in the old master's hall not to place the transformer next to my residence, but let it be. Fate has the best arrangement, and it will allow me to swim in clear and sweet pools in the green mountains and valleys in the summer, or surf in the vast blue sea and sky, or gallop in the snowfields of the north, or enjoy delicious food and exquisite services from health technicians in beautiful city buildings. On Qingming Festival, I bowed before the Buddha and shed tears for my past fate, but everything has passed. If I leave, it will open a new chapter in my life. Let the world cheer for my happiness.
- A lot of worries and pains are caused by diet. Last night, after soaking my feet with BZYQW, I wasn't particularly hungry, just a little sleepy, even though I had taken a good nap in the afternoon. I fried peanuts, eggs, and di long fen (without water or flour this time) with a bit too much oil and not quite cooked enough. After eating and drinking Quanyangquan mineral water, I sat in front of my computer for a while, and my stomach started to ache. Then I had diarrhea and my hemorrhoids started to hurt. It was around 7 or 8 in the evening. I opened Himalaya and listened to "Zi Buyu" while doing moxibustion. The effect seemed not so good, and I didn't feel comfortable. The left side of my coccyx still ached faintly, and the smoke was strong. I slept until one or two in the morning. Then I opened Himalaya and listened to "Jingtu Shengxianlu" for an hour, but I fell asleep before finishing it. I don't know how long it had been when I woke up from a nightmare. In my dream, there seemed to be a large square pond in front of me, and clear water overflowed from it. I seemed to be washing something, and suddenly all the water receded, leaving the pond dry. I really hope that this is just a subconscious worry during the day, because Vic Talk always says things like "you may lose all your capital," which triggers my worries. Also, before going to bed, there was a hasty operation of depositing and withdrawing between mm1-1 and okA1. There was an indirect cross-chain transaction passing through a trading platform with almost the same amount of money and time. Falling asleep with this mood and state, it's normal to have a bad dream. But I'm really worried because money is just basic living expenses for some people, but for me, it's the hope and courage of my life. I silently recite the holy mantra of compassion and pray silently that the Bodhisattva will have pity on this poor and miserable sentient being. Gradually, I felt a shock throughout my body. I got up at eight, washed up, filled both temples with lamp oil, lit incense, and paid respects to them. Then I came back and meditated while reciting the Medicine Buddha Sutra. I didn't have breakfast and cooked BZYQW with two eggs near noon. After soaking my feet, I ate the eggs. It's now 1:11 PM, and the porridge is ready. This is my diet for today. I might eat some pistachios tonight.
- I just watched three episodes of AI-related YouTube videos, "Xiaochuan" and "Jojo". I also know that AI is the future, and creating media content related to this topic can generate a lot of traffic and be very successful. A Twitter user who always seizes opportunities through diligent research is currently studying AI intensively at this stage. ChatGPT. I have been collecting related materials and keeping up with the latest developments, but I feel that my brain is not quite up to the task. I spent at least a year from early 2020 to 2021 trying to prepare myself for self-media, but it was all in vain and just drained me. The other day, I tried to use the editing software "Jianying" to edit some videos, hoping to upload them to "Lens", but I ended up feeling overwhelmed and gave up.
- Just now, I was soaking my feet while listening to a YouTuber surnamed Gong tell his story. He used to be a second-generation wealthy person, but his father's bankruptcy led him to experience a dark decade. Later, he could earn four million US dollars a year, but still couldn't pay off his debts. Then he talked about various ways to get rich, including even listing the despicable act of stealing people's tokens. He also admitted that his values were somewhat non-mainstream. This is not non-mainstream, but clearly evil. The karma from past lives determines the blessings and misfortunes of this life, and the habits from past lives will continue into this life. A person with a habit of theft and values like this will naturally suffer from causality. I think of the famous writer Sanmao. When she was young, she used to water the blooming flowers with boiling water and enjoyed watching butchers slaughter sheep with a charming smile. Can we infer that her heavy karma of killing in her past life caused this habit? The more vast our experiences, the more we believe in causality. In this life, we must deeply believe in causality, strictly adhere to precepts, accumulate virtues, and purify our minds.
- On April 21st, I fasted for a day and felt much better both physically and mentally. Naturally, I didn't feel like eating. My mind was clearer, and my efficiency in doing things was also slightly higher. However, I experienced headaches after working for a long time. This effect doesn't happen every time I fast. The next day, I felt a little hungry around noon and had some noodles with cabbage, one potato, one long eggplant, and two eggs, similar to what I had for lunch today. After eating, I took a nap and slept soundly. Perhaps it was because the project I have been working on these past two days was a mentally taxing task. However, I feel that my brain has become a bit dull since I installed a new telecom broadband service that may have caused some radiation.
Here's a small landscape from the front yard of last year's early spring. By the end of the year, everything had changed.

- I said to Pengpeng, "We are not working hard enough. Those who work hard achieve a state of concentration and a unified mind." He replied, "Great, then we must achieve a state of mental unity."
- I've realized that I have a mindset of being content with small riches and satisfied with less. While others are making big investments, I'm still playing around with small amounts like a child. Sometimes, I become greedy and invest heavily with high leverage at the wrong time, and at other times, I'm overly cautious and hold positions even smaller than an ant's. I should follow the middle way. Some people can be content with small riches and be happy with what they have, but I cannot be like them. I must take responsibility for the debts and emotional obligations I owe, and I must take responsibility for myself and my aging parents. I must maintain the passion for entrepreneurship and maintain lofty goals. My conversation with Pengpeng on WeChat just now made me even more aware of this.With these goals, I can better fulfill my personality, improve my cultivation, and resist temptations.
