超渡你自己

所謂的超渡，是走完你這一輩子所有的情緒。

所以，你超渡了這一輩子的你了嗎？

你的心都平靜了嗎？從小到大，你的心有沒有不平衡？

包括你的父母比較愛弟弟，不愛你，比較護著妹妹，不理你，所有的不平衡，所有的負面情緒，你有沒有回過頭，去接納、去化解，用當下你的愛、智慧，去化解你從小到大心靈上的創傷，你情感上的痛苦。

超渡你自己，又分兩階段：第一個階段，是超渡這一輩子的你，超渡那個從小沒有得到愛的自己，超渡你第一次失戀、被人家騙錢，人財兩失的傷痛，超渡你事業失敗，所有的朋友都背棄你的過程中，你內心所有的痛苦。

人第一個要安的是自己的心。

你的內在小孩還孤獨嗎？

你還是覺得人性是不可信任的嗎？

你要先超渡你自己，內心所有壓抑下來的憤怒、痛苦與悲傷。

如果你還感覺到有負面的情緒，就表示還有一個，在負面情緒的自己。

比方說，你明明在洗菜、做飯，突然你覺得很孤獨，很悲傷，或是在上班，怎麼越上班越坐立難安，你覺得你的情緒很莫名其妙，這些情緒哪裡來的你不知道。

如果你常常感到悲傷、坐立不安，悲傷、莫名其妙想哭，其實不是你想哭，是你裡面的人在哭，如果你常常莫名其妙，感覺到負面的情緒，表示你的內在，還有一個自己，還陷在水深火熱的負面情緒裡頭，他在等你，等你做什麼？等你超渡他。

唯有你超渡了、安撫了，你內心的那個悲傷的、緊張的、還在擔心明年沒有錢的那個自己，唯有安了他的心，你才在這兒坐得很安心。

你之所以坐在這兒不安心，是因為你的內心還在不平衡、還在仇恨、還在恐懼，所以首先要先學會超渡這輩子的你，而不是到佛寺辦法會超渡，所謂超渡你自己：是深入你的內心，用你當下的愛和智慧，化解你內心有種種負面情緒的自己。

你 自己，就是你自己的觀世音菩薩，所謂的觀世音菩薩，就是未來的你，未來已經成佛的你，祂循聲救苦來安撫還在無助中的你，你還在苦難當中，祂循聲救苦，你要 循著你的情緒，如果你不安、你恐懼，你的內在還有一個不安、恐懼的自己，甚至還在怕黑、怕爸媽不要你的小孩，他等你去超渡他。這一步你做到了。

接 下來，你要超渡你累世的自己，很多修行的人會說，當你修到一個程度，過去的業障會現前，其實並不是那個意思啦！弄錯了，完全搞錯了，而是你有了能力、有了 智慧、有了愛，你開始有能力了，你累世轉世的自己，會來找你幫忙，並不是業障現前或是冤親債主來找你，不是的，累世的自己家人們來求你幫忙，當你這一輩子 的自己心靈力量變強了，你安定的力量也強了，有些在夢境當中，或是你往世過去的記憶會顯現出來。

這是賽斯心法，很有意思的地方了，當下你的修行，當下你的智慧和心靈成長，原來還可以幫助過去在苦難中的你耶！

這代表當你開始學習身心靈的概念，當你了解宇宙的奧秘，當你開始進入生活的另一個層面，你的過去世還在哀傷中，你的過去世可能有餓死的自己，有被砍頭的自己，有被強暴的自己，有在逃難的自己，有失戀的自己，你的過去世有好多的自己，都在等著你去幫忙他。

這 一世，透過你心靈的安定，你可以治療童年的創傷，安撫你過去生意失敗的自暴自棄，你可以改變「自從被男人拋棄之後，你不相信天下還有好男人」這樣的觀念， 不但可以幫你把這一世的你變得更好，而且你過去世的記憶，也會開始展現出來，因為你的過去世還有好多的你，等著你去幫忙他。

於是你開始了，一個自我成佛之旅，開始了一個自我超渡之旅。

你要超渡誰啊？

你無法超渡任何人，除非你開始超渡你自己。

"Download map" for Android

One way we bring you new product features is through Google Labs—a collection of fun, experimental features you can turn on if you’re interested in the functionality. In fact, Google Maps itself started as a lab. In addition to our desktop Maps Labs, Google Maps for Androidhas a few tricks you can try out right from your phone. We’d like to introduce you to one new experimental feature, “Download map area," but also remind you of two other ones we already have: “Scale bar” and “Measure.”

Download map area
When you’re visiting an unfamiliar location, Google Maps for mobile is great for getting an idea of how close you are to your destination, where streets and landmarks are in relation to each other, or just for getting “un-lost.” But what if you don’t have a data signal, or you’re abroad and don’t have a data plan? We say that if you use Google Maps for mobile, you’ll never need to carry a paper map again. The “Download map area” lab in Google Maps 5.7 for Android is a step in making that statement true even when you’re offline.

Let’s say later you’re visiting Bordeaux during a trip to France. If you were to open Google Maps for mobile and zoom into Bordeaux without data coverage or wifi, you’d see the image on the left:

Left: Bordeaux with no data or wifi. Right: Bordeaux with downloaded map area

That’s not particularly useful when you’re trying to find out how close you are to the Cathedrale St. Andre. But a little advance planning and “Download map area” can help. Before you take your trip, while you still have access to WiFi or data coverage, you can open up any Places page in the world, click “More” to get the Place page menu, and download Google’s maps for a 10-mile radius.

Left: Tap a landmark to enter its Place page. Right: Place page “more options” menu

The download can take as little as a minute or two. This download stores only the base map tiles and the landmarks on the map, so you still need a data connection to see satellite view and 3D buildings, search for Places and get directions. But we hope the level of detail available will help you find your way!

Left: Status screen for download. Right: Coverage of downloaded map area

All your downloaded map areas can be managed in your Google Maps cache settings so you can delete maps you no longer need or if you want to free up storage. After 30 days, all downloaded map areas will be removed from your cache; they can be re-downloaded any time.

Scale bar
Google Maps has approximately 20 different zoom levels that range from a 2,000 mile scale to a 20 foot scale. With finger gestures making it really quick and easy to zoom in and out, sometimes it’s not always clear what zoom level you’re at. What might be just a few streets away can be quite a long walk depending on the scale. To help with this, you can turn on a scale bar, which updates based on your zoom level.

Scale bar in the lower left

Measure
If you ever need to know the distance between San Francisco and New York (about 2602 miles) or between any other two points on the map, the “Measure” lab can help you out. Once it’s enabled, you’ll notice a tape measure icon just above the zoom buttons. After clicking that icon, you’ll be prompted to tap two points on the map and Google Maps will calculate the straight distance between those points (this direct distance is “as the crow flies”).

Example of the “Measure” Labs feature

To access Labs on your phone, press your phone’s menu button once in Google Maps, choose “More” and select Labs. On a tablet, click the menu button in the upper-right corner of Maps. The “Download map area” lab requires Android 2.1+ and the latest version of Google Maps. We look forward to bringing you more experimental features soon and hope you enjoy trying out Labs in Google Maps for Android.

Bersih 2.0: Winners and losers (709 Bersih 2.0)

KUALA LUMPUR, July 5 — So it is settled, after weeks of harassment and thuggish behaviour by the government, the people for free and fair elections will gather in a stadium on July 9.
This episode has once again demonstrated how fractious and divided Malaysia is with enlightened and liberal Malaysia on one side and almost facist powers on the other.
Some individuals emerge from this episode with reputations intact, others with image destroyed forever. The Malaysian Insider gives our take on the winners and losers.

Winners
• The organisers of Bersih: let’s be honest, until a few weeks ago this was a movement at the periphery of most Malaysians. Okay, so some 100,000 people would have marched on the streets on KL. But thanks to the government's blanket arrests, use of draconian laws and decision to behave like a repressive regime, Bersih became a buzzword. Much to the government’s chagrin, everyone has forgotten about Datuk T, all the wonderful projects under the ETP. Today, people remember Bersih as the people fighting for clean and fair elections, and the Barisan Nasional (BN) government as the people frightened of free and fair elections.
• Datuk Ambiga Sreenevasan: She was called names by the prime minister and threatened with having her citizenship revoked by the Malacca chief minister and was under severe pressure from the police and security agencies. But the former Bar Council president did not lose her cool or become rabid like her detractors. She stayed the course and was always civil. Maybe our politicians should take a leaf out of her book.
• The Yang di-Pertuan Agong: his measured last-minute intervention gave the government and Bersih face-saving escape routes from confrontation. This is what Malaysians expect of the monarchy: for them to be honest brokers, not mouthpieces for the ruling party. In all likelihood he was asked by the government to issue the statement on Sunday but it does appear that he was unwilling to demonise Bersih.
• Malaysian public: in the wake of all this talk of riots and tension, the man in the street was unmoved and unconvinced by the fairytale stories of communist plots and Christian funding — a sure sign that the governed are more mature than the government.
Losers
• Datuk Seri Najib Razak: he has now agreed to meet Bersih leaders to discuss the venue for their rally. One has to ask why as the PM he did not engage the activists but instead he allowed them to be demonised by his Umno party. The mishandling of the issue also allowed Malaysia’s image to be tarnished and undid a lot of good work done by good men in the administration. He allowed the hardliners in government and his party to call the shots when he should have been leading from the front.
• Datuk Hishammuddin Hussein: where does one start with this major disappointment of a minister? He left many stumped by his illogical statements and his John Le Carre scenarios. He has ambitions of becoming the country’s prime minister. After this performance it is arguable whether he is the best person for the home ministry portfolio.
• Datuk Ibrahim Ali: he has been at the forefront of the attacks against Ambiga and Bersih. And he has also tried to turn the issue into one of race, to protect Malay rights. But it became abundantly clear that Bersih 2.0 had the support of many Malaysians from different races. It was not about race after all but the issue of free and fair elections.
• The PDRM: the police have made a mockery of the law by arresting people for wearing T-shirts. While it is arguable whether preventive action and detention should still be allowed, arresting people for wearing T-shirts was a ridiculous act. Continuing to detain people under the Emergency Ordinance over the rally is also a classic case of abusing the law. In the end the police should remember that if a permit was granted the rally would not have been illegal. The police must not act as if the country is under siege from its own citizens.

So, the conclusion is, Malaysian as a whole appear to be the victors in this saga whereby BN and it's 1 Malaysia become the biggest sore loser!!!

马来西亚如今已变成一个警察国，除了警方外，总检察署也可妄顾法律，任意行使权力。(709 Bersih 2.0)

再有3议员因净选盟课题录供 民联促警方打击罪案勿搞针对

警方与政府继续镇压净选盟2.0游行，今日再有3名人民代议士，因为在群众演讲中提到7月9日的净选盟游行，而被警方传召录取口供。

警方今日分别向鹅唛国会议员阿兹敏阿里、适耕庄州议员黄瑞林与太子园州议员苏海米发出通知，要求3人到警局录供。

阿兹敏只回答部分问题

阿兹敏也是公正党署理主席，他今午2点在党总部接受一名来自八打灵再也警局的警官录供长达半小时。

他完成录供后告诉记者，警方的问题都是围绕着其讲座与净选盟，比如他在讲座上使用的字眼、谁是主办单位与其他主讲人等。

“在律师建议下，我决定只是回答部分的问题。”

律师抨击警方滥用权力

这是阿兹敏第二次因为净选盟课题，而接受警方录供。阿兹敏的律师苏仁德兰表示，警方的录供完全没有法律根据，是滥用警方权力的体现。

他指出，马来西亚如今已变成一个警察国，除了警方外，总检察署也可妄顾法律，任意行使权力。

“警方只是要骚扰人民，警方应该要确认有人犯罪，才可录取任何人的口供。但是这里没有，阿兹敏在演讲中提到净选盟，而你就马上通知要录取他的口供。”

黄瑞林拒回答所有问题

另外，黄瑞林今午则在沙亚南第6区警局接受来自柔佛峇株巴轄的警官，录取大约20分钟的口供。

“警方表示，有人针对我在6月18日峇株巴轄的一个回教堂讲座上推广净选盟，而向警方投报。”

无论如何，黄瑞林拒绝回答警方所提出的6道问题。

他也接获芙蓉警区总部的通知，针对他在芙蓉一场公正党讲座上的言论，约定在周三录取他的口供。

不过黄瑞林指出，警方的传真通知并不妥当，因此他拒绝警方录供的要求。

他也强调，警方与其浪费警力对付净选盟，倒不如集中资源打击罪案。

苏海米也拒绝回答问题

至于苏海米则是在今午录取口供，以针对他上个月在巴生与巴生再也两场讲座上发表的言论，协助警方调查。

“警方要求我录供，并指我在讲座上提及净选盟。但是，当我发表这两场演讲时，净选盟还未被宣布非法，而我所说的也与7月9日游行无关。”

他透露本身在15分钟录供过程中，行使权力拒绝回答任何问题。

i want to say this to YOU (709 Bersih 2.0)

My dear friends,

By now, I'm sure you've realized that I'm practically jaundiced-out by all this yellow BERSIH 2.0 talk! It has been exhausting, energizing, worrying. Everyday life and all its demands continue...and on top of that to resist and resist this gargantuan machinery utilized and abused by the current government to harass, threaten and attempt to intimidate us. Friends getting dragged away to the police station, mother questioned under the Sedition Act for quoting the Federal Constitution, t-shirts being banned, the colour yellow a threat - my grief! What a mad state of affairs!

I don't presume to know which side of the political agenda any one of you lean on, but I do hope that all of you are in utter clarity that this is NOT a "Pakatan Rakyat agenda". This is about democracy, plain and simple. It's about exercising our basic rights. It's about our fundamental liberties. It's not anything extra, unnecessary or far-fetched.

I am not an expert of the Constitution, and legal jargon throws me off completely, but let me take a stab at this: (paraphrasing) Article 10 (1)(a) of our Federal Constitution states that every citizen has the RIGHT to freedom of speech & freedom of expression. Article (1)(b) of the Constitution states that all citizens have the RIGHT to assemble peacefully and without arms. A RIGHT is not a right if you need to seek permission from the government for it to be realized. That would make it a license.

Human rights are there, inherent in all of us – regardless of whether someone says you have it or not. Human rights don’t exist in a list of optional choices, waiting for governments to choose whether "they" legitimise it or not.

It drives me absolutely insane that so many of you think Bersih 2.0 doesn’t have anything to do with human rights; that it’s a ploy by opposition parties to get more votes. The whole idea behind BERSIH is for there to be spaces necessary for us to realize our right to participate in government & in fair and free elections [Article 21 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, or UDHR]! The violent resistance by the people in power to this most basic of calls has led to the trampling of a whole series of other rights:

• Article 3 Right to Life, Liberty, Personal Security
• Article 5 Freedom from Torture and Degrading Treatment
• Article 9 Freedom from Arbitrary Arrest and Exile
• Article 10 Right to Fair Public Hearing
• Article 11 Right to be Considered Innocent until Proven Guilty
• Article 19 Freedom of Opinion and Information
• Article 20 Right of Peaceful Assembly and Association
• Article 30 Freedom from State or Personal Interference in the above Rights

Maybe all this doesn’t matter to you – maybe you’ve never had a mother sentenced to a year in prison for speaking the truth, or you’ve never been dragged away to the police station for holding a candle in a group; you’ve not watched innocent people proven guilty by the State without any facts or reason, and you’ve not been made to do nude squats while the very people who are suppose to protect you watch & laugh at your humiliation. And for that I’m actually very happy – for I’d never wish that degradation of rights on anyone, not even on my oppressors.

But I do hope you realize that every time you let them attack the rights of another person, you have given them the power to take away your rights. Today, your silence has legitimized the denial of the right to assemble peacefully – tomorrow, will you be silent as they take away your freedom of belief and religion? Will you stay absent as they strip away your right to have a home, to drink clean water, to send your children to school? Today, you’ve allowed them to stomp down on the freedom of speech – what voice will you use tomorrow, when they come for the rights you hold dear to you?

To all who have doubts about BERSIH...

This is what we are walking for, these are our 'demands': "Clean the electoral roll/ Reform postal vote/ Use indelible ink/Free & fair access to media/Minimum 21 days campaign period/Strengthen public institutions/Stop corruption/Stop dirty politics" -- not so crazy, eh?

I pray that you are not talking yourself into believing that that report you have due, or meeting you have scheduled, or client you need to see, or party you need to attend is so much more important than showing up with your fellow countrypersons as a stand that YOU BELIEVE in DEMOCRACY. I pray that you don't let the everyday challenges in life get in the way of your rights as a person.

I know many of you are scared, and for that reason will be staying away - truth be told, I'm a little scared too. The chemicals in the water cannons & tear gas will probably burn my chronically torn and scarred eczema ridden body. Also, I've never been arrested, and so I can't say I'm not at least a little scared of what it would be like should that happen to me. And so yes, I do have fears.

But - my biggest fear ,really, is being deserted by other Malaysians such as yourselves. To show up there with whichever activists that have not already been marched away to prisons on flimsy charges, and find that it's just the few of us against this beastly machine of riot police, blood thirsty Ministers and their posse of evil men.

I'm terrified that most Malaysians are either so fast asleep in apathy, or catatonic from fear - unable to realize that as soon as we let them take away some of our rights, we've given away all of our rights.

I'm so.very.scared that the tyranny that has prevailed for over half a century in our homeland, will continue to grow and feast on our rights, simply because good, honest persons like you would rather stay silent and away, then show up and make a change.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope there are far fewer scared or disinterested persons, than ones who want change to happen. Gosh, I hope so badly that I'm wrong.

If you want to take that first step in participating, but don't know how, let me know. Drop me a note. We can take that step together.

If you want to have a debate about this, or share your view point, please do so. I'm right here.

As was once uttered, it is up to us, as moral people, to break immoral laws. And to resist.

With sheer hope, and in utter solidarity,

katrina

MCMC: We will shut down websites if necessary (709 Bersih 2.0)

SAY NO TO BERSIH AND AVOID GETTING CLOSED DOWN

(The Star) - Websites with offensive content and deemed a threat to national security, including those that promote or help in organising the July 9 rally, risked being shut down by the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC).

MCMC chief strategy officer Datuk Mohamed Sharil Mohamed Tarmizi said the MCMC would not hesitate to take action against any website for breaching the Communication and Multimedia Act.

Anything deemed illegal or wrong in the real world also applied to the cyber world, Sharil said.

“Don't assume there's no law in the cyber world. A lot of people don't think about that but we would like to remind the people to behave responsibly when using the Internet or any other technology of the new media,” he said yesterday when asked if the MCMC would take action against websites that supported the Bersih 2.0 rally.

Sharil said the MCMC had always been monitoring websites for offensive and harmful content and would continue to do so with help from other enforcement agencies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the readers,

Ibrahim keeps on ranting, challenging and speaking with profanities against the chinese and indians you don't do anything.... little bit of opposition from the raayat. MCMC wants to close this and that!

Apa ini???? You give free kah??? We are paying for your faking poor service day in day out you know kah????

Maybe it's time for the rakyat to vote for a Government to shut down MCMC instead and get a new Commission formulated in its stead.

我为什么期待709？(709 Bersih 2.0)

每一个早晨，我从住家步行至轻快铁站，坑坑洞洞的柏油路和人行道目睹我如何步履蹒跚，我则目睹摩多和脚踏车骑士如何惊险前行。

轻快铁站外头的十字路口是张得极大的虎口，却没有给行人指示的交通灯。出入轻快铁站的搭客得在车辆交通灯切换的三几秒钟内，争取时间过马路，个个仿佛都是身手敏捷的侠客，仿佛都是这座城市可有可无的过客。

辛勤工作换不到安居

过客？这里明明是我们定居的城市，是我们的家园。然而，我们总是感到不实在，总在日常生活里拥抱怨言，却捉不着什么，无奈度过每一天。日出、日落，我们是被生活重担压着背脊出门的公民，也是奋斗至深夜拖着疲惫身躯返家的公民。

薪水那么低，收入那么少，债务却那么多，我们不得不辛勤。

我们辛勤工作，却换不来得以安居的环境。我们无论早出或晚归，无论什么性别，都得注意生命安全。

外劳更担忧自身安全

不归属这片国土的外劳，恐怕比我们更担忧自身的安全。偶尔有警察在市中心的轻快铁站外面守候，拦下路过的外劳，把他们的证件翻来翻去，也把他们的背包翻来翻去。

我们都猜着究竟为了什么，也只能匆匆走过。我曾清楚听见警察说了一个字：“钱”。

政府的挥霍难以想象

是了，钱。这土地上的贫富差距是那么大，穷人必须想尽办法找钱，好填充生命中不断冒现的坑洞。当我们听到钱投入坑洞传来的响亮回音，却也听说政府如何施政错误，如何浪费公帑。

而那一长串的数字，可以等于多少个什么又多少个什么，我们此生真是难以想象。

此生，有没有机会看到改变？生活中不公不义的事情实在太多，每一个细节都可以积累成强大的愤怒。而且，我们的记性并没有想象中那么差，我们其实并不会在偶尔出现的甜头或承诺里遗忘过去。每一次令我们失望的举动，我们都记着了。

我记得这是自由国度

是了，我记得，这是自由的国度。

“这 是自由的国度／你有自由跟我玩选举游戏／我有自由叫你无法走上议事席……这是自由的国度／你有自由唠唠叨叨大念你的宪政经／我有自由厚着脸皮执行我的违法 令……这是自由的国度／你有自由不妨碍我的自由／我有自由叫你不妨碍我的自由”（台湾诗人王丽华〈这是自由的国度〉）

大伙齐上街大声倾诉

在人人以为自由的国度，受歧视的性别、受漠视的群体于压制中挤出来的要求和投诉，可曾被听取？而有人以为这些都不重要。

如果长久以来的抱怨都不被听取，我当然对7月9日满怀期待，期待那一天快快到来，与大伙一起上街去，大声倾诉。

我希望可以透过公平的选举，用选票主宰自己的生活，决定自己的未来，发出自己的声音，而不是继续成为他人的线偶。我必须在这片土地上活得心甘情愿。
