I’m willing to take the place of the white goose to offer my flesh to feed you. But your sickle must cut off exactly four catties, eight taels and two maces of flesh off my arm, no more, no less. You’ll also have to lick the blood off the sickle clean with your tongue. Not a drop of blood is to drip to the ground. What if I didn’t cut the exact weight? Or accidentally dripped blood onto the ground? Then, from now on you will have to live on fruit alone. And never kill any sentient beings henceforth. If you can comply with this condition, come! You! Start cutting now!

So I began to read poetry and, and looking at myself and examining my own existence, kind of sorting out my own identity. I began to write my own poetry.

Music is all around us. It exists in the melody of a bird’s happy song, or the sound of the bubbling river. These outer worldly sounds contain more than just a sound wave; they also connect us to our inner core. The harp is one of the most beautiful instruments that humankind has ever imagined. One might describe its sound as Heaven’s music, played by angels. In the Holy Bible, chapter 14 of the Book of Revelations mentions the harp sound. It says: “and I heard a sound from heaven like the roar of rushing waters and like a loud peal of thunder. The sound I heard was like that of harpists playing their harps.”

This is the tenth and final sonata of the visionary Russian composer and spiritual practitioner Alexander Scriabin. The sonata contains flashes of light which the composer describes as "powerful, radiating". One of the most wondrously gifted composers of the 20th century was the French composer Maurice Ravel.

Let's share the wonder of the first work in the suite, entitled "Ondine."

Ultimately, the solution is simple. Our parents or grandparents weren’t buying all these products, and they lived a much simpler life, which was in tune with seasons, with the environment. And that’s what we need to get back to if we want to try to preserve a little bit of our resources. Beyond the question of recycling, there is also the cost of energy that must be used. It is up to us as consumers to make choices that are responsible, by focusing on buying products that are more environmentally friendly. This message of conservation and the urgent need to act for the preservation of our planet has been echoed time and again by Supreme Master Ching Hai.

Antoine has received much acclaim for his four-year project entitled “#365 Unpacked,” a series of photographic masterpieces featuring recyclable waste. In this series of photographs, he presents to us the 365 kilograms of waste that we, on average, individually produce over the course of a year. Actually, we can’t picture it. The strength of this project is to bring this issue down to a much smaller scale. To allow people to understand it, “Oh yes, indeed, I too contribute in spite of myself, to this massive production of packaging and waste.” Do we really have to generate all that quantity?

First, let's start with a snippet from the exceptionally gifted Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev's 3rd Piano Concerto. We can feel humor, warmth, passion, sincerity and excitement even in these few short minutes. In this next masterwork, the third movement of the third piano sonata by Alexander Scriabin, we hear the fragile beauty and delightful effervescence of created form. For our final 20th century masterwork, we turn to the prominent Hungarian composer, ethnomusicologist, and educator, Béla Bartók. Marked as "Adagio Religioso," this is the only work in all of Bartók's creative output with a directly spiritual reference.
