Baba's thought for the day.
"The reasoning faculty must be employed to distunguish between the limited and the unlimited, the Temporary and the Eternal."
We had an interesting session yesterday during"The wholehearted marriage Seminar" conducted by Dr Greg Smalley and his wife Erin. We learnt that the state of the heart was the heart of the matter. The state of the heart has to be kept open and we have to protect and care for our hearts. On the topic of The Reactive Cycle, it was highlighted that being able to identify our emotional buttons will help promote healthy relationships. Lastly we were provide with the simple steps to break out of the reactive cycle. First is to create space. Then identify the buttons and one's reaction. Finally one has to respond with a caring and open heart with 'win/win " in mind.
On the previous day, Friday Mr Lee, the driver sent me to Dazhong Arts and accessories antique shop along Xisi Street. The travel guidebook indicated this famous place for feather dusters. making of feather dusters was a tradition in keeping with the custom when girls, on the eve of her wedding were given a feather duster. Today the maker sells some very priced feather dusters priced at over 1,000 yuan!!
Then I visited the Geological Museum of Beijing across the street along Fuchengmennei Street. Then I temple-hopped to Guanji Temple, Temple of ancient Monarchs and the Baita temple or commonly called the White Pagoda Temple.
This was followed by a shopping spree in the Silk Market buying T-shirts and of course my favourite jade and crystal accessories. All this ended in a relaxing session at Bodhi Sense at Somerset Service Apartment in Chaoyang.
