THIỀN 28 - MEDITATION 28:
GỐC VÀ NGỌN - ROOT AND TOP
[Part 1]
Ta đều hiểu rằng thiền định là phương pháp giúp tâm yên tĩnh, bớt suy nghĩ vẩn vơ, tiến đến dừng suy nghĩ hoàn toàn, tiến đến xóa sạch bản ngã vô minh sâu kín để hoàn thành sự nghiệp giải thoát giác ngộ như Phật đã dạy. Dĩ nhiên con đường giác ngộ này không phải đi trong vài ba kiếp mà hết được, có khi ta phải trải qua cả vài trăm vài nghìn kiếp mới hoàn thành.
We understand that meditation is a method of calming our mind, defusing wandering thoughts, and moving toward a stage of complete thoughtlessness. From this stage, the practitioner will then proceed to eliminate their ignorance and ego in order to accomplish the final goal of spiritual enlightenment as Buddha taught. Of course, the path of enlightenment can never be completed within several lifetimes. It takes hundreds or even thousands of lifetimes for a person to reach the end of this path.
1. Meditation = thiền (danh từ), sedentary meditation = thiền tọa
2. (to) meditate sedentarily = ngồi thiền
3. Wandering thoughts = ý nghĩ vẩn vơ, vọng tưởng
4. Our mind = tâm của chúng ta
5. A stage of complete thoughtlessness = trạng thái hoàn toàn không suy nghĩ
6. Move toward = tiến đến
7. to eliminate ignorance and ego = xóa chấp ngã vô minh
8. To accomplish the final goal = hoàn thành mục tiêu cuối cùng
9. Spiritual enlightenment = giác ngộ tâm linh
10. As Buddha taught = như Phật đã dạy
11. The path of enlightenment = con đường giác ngộ
12. within several lifetimes = trong vài kiếp sống
13. hundreds or even thousands of lifetimes = hàng trăm, hàng nghìn kiếp
14. To reach the end of this path = đi đến (hoàn thành) tận cùng con đường này.

COLLECTING MILK BOXES, PLASTIC GLASSES, AND NILON BAGS
📍 Have you heard of these speaking numbers? It is up to 1.8 MILLION TONS of #plastic given out from Vietnam each year (according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO)). As much as 1,5 BILLION of used milk cartons every year (equivalent to 150,000 Tons) discarded in our country, while 100% of paper milk cartons can be #recycled into #useful materials and products. What’s next if the numbers keep increasing?
♻️ Fortunately, we still have many organizations that are trying to #collect and #recycle used milk boxes and plastic glasses daily. We also hope to add more roofs made by used milk boxes and get more useful recyclable things that seem to be trash.
♻️ We still are collecting #used_milk_boxes,#nilon_bags and #plastic_bottles at An Xanh 1958 - LearningHub Cafe. If you have any questions about the process of the collection, please comment below to we know and support you.
Besides, you can contact Mr. Nghia. He will transport them to the recycling factory to start their new life. Please contact him on this number: 0898 651 571.
Thank you so much for your interest. I hope all of you have a meaningful tonight

anxanh1958 commented on this post about 4 yearsHello friends, we are a little Learning Hub Cafe in the heart of District 1, HCMC Vietnam, and we’ve just collected a list of delightful songs that we hope to share with you. 🌷🌷🌷
Every day we wake up with dualistic choices: bringing peace or bringing insecurity into life. Everyone wants to bring peace and happiness, but sometimes we need to gather more material to create thorough joy, or to hone worries and insecurities into motivation and bravery to cultivate peace and happiness.
Music and lyrics are some of those materials.
Therefore, An Xanh collected and would like to send to you "the music that our Members and Patrons feel the most meaningful". Besides, we also look forward to hearing from you: What are the 5 songs you feel most meaningful?
Thank you so much for your interest. May we wish you a beautiful day! <3

If you have spare plastic cups, used milk boxes and plastic nilons, let's clean them up and bring them to An Xanh! We have a friend who recycles them, or you can use the colors to create your own tree pots that last for hundreds of years. https://www.facebook.com/AnXanh1958Post is under moderationStream item published successfully.

[NATURE BRINGS US OUR LIFE]
Since the existence of human beings, nature has been offering us not only the vast oceans but also invaluable forests which bring a huge variety of material and mental benefits to human beings. Among those most precious values, nature brings us our life! Forest plays an indispensable role in preventing floods, reducing erosion and harmonizing the climate. It is easy to understand that most of the climate abnormalities come from us who relentlessly exploit the forests. We are not here to talk about the adverse effects of those actions because we all know about that. We are here with a hope to really do something to harmonize the problem of these foreseeable sufferings caused by human's destruction. And that means protecting the forests is a must.
