Music Town by Zue Chan
Inspired by Vienna, the city of music in Austria, the mural shows the lanes characteristics in Vienna on one side and the beautiful scenery featuring Beethoven on the other side. Pedestrians can enjoy the fascinating view while walking, as if being in Vienna.
The river Ching in Epping Forest, normally a dribble, is running high and we even have a small waterfall.

Before entering the Dia:Beacon gallery, I asked if taking photos was allowed, and was assured it was. But after taking this shot of Walter de Maria's 360 I Ching/ 64 Sculptures (1981) I was chastised by a guard because "It is forbidden to take photos of this work only." Too late. Made of white lacquer on wooden sticks, the sculptures consist of all 64 possible combinations of the Chinese I Ching fortune-telling sticks on a red background, spread over 2 rooms and 10,000 square feet.

Yueh Hai Ching Temple is a Chinese temple in Singapore.
The current structure of this shrine dates back to 1850.
Temple is an expression of a Taoist temple of Chinese architecture.
The roofs of the temple have the most unusual ornaments of one- and two-storey mini-structures and human figurines. They are laid in such a way as to depict clusters of buildings within a Chinese town. In this temple human figurines are displayed everywhere, depicting scenes from Chinese operas that illustrate the courageous and meritorious deeds of the gods and ancient heroes of Chinese legend.

The I Ching, usually translated Book of Changes, is an ancient Chinese divination text that is among the oldest of the Chinese classics.
Originally a divination manual in the Western Zhou period (1000–750 BC), the I Ching was transformed over the course of the Warring States and early imperial periods (500–200 BC) into a cosmological text with a series of philosophical commentaries known as the "Ten Wings".
After becoming part of the Five Classics in the 2nd century BC, the I Ching was the subject of scholarly commentary and the basis for divination practice for centuries across the Far East, and eventually took on an influential role in Western understanding of East Asian philosophical thought.
As a divination text, the I Ching is used for a traditional Chinese form of cleromancy known as I Ching divination, in which bundles of yarrow stalks are manipulated to produce sets of six apparently random numbers ranging from 6 to 9.
Each of the 64 possible sets corresponds to a hexagram, which can be looked up in the I Ching.
The hexagrams are arranged in an order known as the King Wen sequence.
The interpretation of the readings found in the I Ching has been endlessly discussed and debated over the centuries.

Subaru saw the success of the Nissan Verita (a retro-style version of the March) and decided to launch the Casa Blanca, based on the locally-assembled Impreza LX Wagon. It was produced for two years by Ta Ching Subaru until Ta Ching filed for bankruptcy, which would mean the end of local production of Subaru cars in Taiwan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The way to which mankind may hold
Is not the eternal way.
Eternal truths cannot be told
In what men write or say.
The name that may be named by man
Is not the eternal name
That was before the world began
Or human language came.
In that the namable took root,
The tree of fire and force,
Which, having blossomed and borne fruit,
Returns then to its source.
Who warms his body at that fire,
Sees nothing but its smoke;
But he who puts aside desire,
The flame’s self will invoke.
These two things are the same in source
But different in name;
Who solves this mystery has recourse
To that from whence he came.
................................. Charles H. Mackintosh (1926)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God (the great everlasting infinite First Cause from whom all things in heaven and earth proceed) can neither be defined nor named.
For the God which can be defined or named is but the Creator, the Great Mother of all those things of which our senses have cognisance.
Now he who would gain a knowledge of the nature and attributes of the nameless and undefinable God, must first set himself free from all earthly desires, for unless he can do this, he will be unable to penetrate the material veil which interposes between him and those spiritual conditions into which he would obtain an insight.
Yet the spiritual and the material, though known to us under different names, are similar in origin, and issue from the same source, and the same obscurity belongs to both, for deep indeed is the darkness which enshrouds the portals through which we have to pass, in order to gain a knowledge of these mysteries.
................................. G.G. Alexander (1895)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Existence is beyond the power of words
To define:
Terms may be used
But are none of them absolute.
In the beginning of heaven and earth there were no words,
Words came out of the womb of matter;
And whether a man dispassionately
Sees to the core of life
Or passionately
Sees the surface,
The core and the surface
Are essentially the same,
Words making them seem different
Only to express appearance.
If name be needed, wonder names them both:
From wonder into wonder
Existence opens.
................................. Witter Bynner (1944)

Personal Thoughts from August 07, 1976
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Energy is one.
Individuals are parts of that one.
Individuals through a source such as Love
(or other emotion or virtue) are one.
Thoughts are a source of energy.
Energy is neither created or destroyed.
Thoughts are neither created or destroyed.
Individuals are tuned-in to thoughts.
We do not think; we experience thought.
Our level of development is how we use
these thoughts to experience other
thoughts.
We are actually experiencing energies.
Our level of development is how we can
tune-in to these energies.
Our true purpose is to think and develop;
think and develop; become the source of energy.

The Dao to humans
as lakes and oceans to fish
existence unknown
============================
A Couple of Haiku Notes:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tao gives birth to One
One gives birth to yin and yang
then birth to all things
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Yin and the Yang
they're not really opposites
complementary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A Yin/Yang Perception of Opposites
Tao Te Ching -:- Verse 2
====================================
When people see things as beautiful,
ugliness is created.
When people see things as good,
evil is created.
Being and non-being produce each other.
Difficult and easy complement each other.
Long and short define each other.
High and low oppose each other.
Fore and aft follow each other.
====================================
In Chinese philosophy, yin and yang (also, yin-yang or yin yang) describes how apparently opposite or contrary forces are actually complementary, interconnected, and interdependent in the natural world, and how they give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another. Many tangible dualities (such as light and dark, fire and water, and male and female) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality of yin and yang. This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy, as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine, and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise, such as baguazhang, taijiquan (t'ai chi), and qigong (Chi Kung), as well as in the pages of the I Ching written in 1,000 BC and before.
Yin and yang can be thought of as complementary (rather than opposing) forces that interact to form a dynamic system in which the whole is greater than the assembled parts. Everything has both yin and yang aspects, (for instance shadow cannot exist without light). Either of the two major aspects may manifest more strongly in a particular object, depending on the criterion of the observation. The yin yang shows a balance between two opposites with a little bit in each.
In Daoist metaphysics, distinctions between good and bad, along with other dichotomous moral judgments, are perceptual, not real; so, the duality of yin and yang is an indivisible whole. In the ethics of Confucianism on the other hand, most notably in the philosophy of Dong Zhongshu (c. 2nd century BC), a moral dimension is attached to the idea of yin and yang.
