< Spiritual Journeys to the Nature >
Human eings originate from the Nature. When coming back to the Nature once again, we will feel safe, satisfied, touched and warm, joust like when we used to be in our mothers’ wombs before we were born. Our externally-frozen hearts will become soft again by such feeling.
The tangible Nature is composed of everything visible, while the intangible Nature is composed of our inner spiritual pure land. We will be full of infinite satisfaction by having a spiritual journey to the Nature. Our moods will become smoother if we discover the beauty of the Nature. Negative sentiments are the stumbling stones for our growth, but keeping a susceptible heart is the lubricant for our growth.
We should dissolve our bad moods by our susceptible hearts. By freeing our hearts and embracing the Nature, we can feel and experience the simple and tranquil joy in the nature.
~~Misty Lake~~
At daybreak when the sky was still unclear, I came to the misty lake with a mirror-like surface.
Then, the sun began to show up slowly. The immense lake surface was quite tranquil, without any waves caused by the wind. The lake was so peaceful, and it looked like a very big mirror. The sound of leaves falling was so clear. Later, I threw a small stone into the lake, causing ripples to spread in circles. I was so surprised that such a tiny object can result in tremendous power. I discovered such a fact in such an early morning.
The mist emitted a kind of hazy, aerial, and mysterious atmosphere, dancing with its changeable misty shapes on the tranquil and mirror-like lake surface. This looked like a landscape painting very much, also like a fairy possessing natural grace.
A small fish jumped out of the surface. Birds’ sharp and loud singing spread over the tranquil lake occasionally, which seemed to wake up the sleepy land. The aromatic air was so refreshing; I could not help but to take a deep breath. Then, I felt so relaxed and happy all over my body, with my spirit becoming refreshed.
I lingered on without any thought of leaving. On the misty lakeside, I welcomed the gradually-rising sun along with the land, to greet the wonderful and joyful day.
<大自然心靈之旅>
人類來自於大自然，再回到大自然的懷抱，就好像回到胎兒期在腹中的感覺般的安全、滿足、感動、溫暖，這樣的感覺會讓外表冰封的心重新柔軟起來。
有形的大自然是眼睛所見的一切；無形的大自然是內在的心靈淨土。體會大自然的心靈之旅，會充滿無限的滿足，發現大自然之美，心情會變得平和。情緒是成長的絆腳石，感動的心是成長的潤滑劑。
用感動的心來溶化自己的情緒，打開心門投入大自然的懷抱，感受和體會大自然單純、寧靜的愉快。
~~煙靄繚繞的湖泊~~
晨曦微亮、似暗似明，來到了煙靄繚繞、湖面如鏡的湖泊。
遼闊的水面，太陽初綻光芒，水波不興、無風無浪，湖泊平靜的像一面大鏡子，飄落的落葉聲音如此清晰；一顆小小的石頭泛起了層層擴散的漣漪，沒想到這麼微小的東西也有這麼大的力量，只有破曉的清晨，我發現了它的存在。
陣陣輕煙，一種朦朧、飄渺、似幻似真的感覺，在平靜如鏡的水面上舞動著千變萬化的煙雲，像極了一幅山水國畫，更像飄逸的仙女。
一條小魚躍出水面， 偶而傳來清脆的鳥叫蟲鳴聲點綴著寧靜的湖泊，似乎要喚醒沉睡的大地；陣陣清香的空氣，忍不住深呼吸，全身頓時心曠神怡、神清氣爽。
不忍離開，在輕煙飄渺的湖畔， 與大地一起迎接漸漸昇起的朝陽，向美好、喜悅的一天快樂招手。
