About Traveling with Boat - Some experiences from BVI

Piaw's blog about visiting BVI (http://piaw.blogspot.com/2012/04/escape-bvi-2012.html) caught a lot of attention from his friends. Sometime, people even come to ask me about the experiences to verify if it is really great and worthwhile for a visit.  Most time people show interests and passion to go but are afraid of being bored on a boat all the time.

For me, one week is pretty doable.  For the longer stay, I would like to plan well in advance to spend more time on land during the day. It may sound a little crazy to stay on a boat for one week or longer, but the truth is that one don't really stay on the boat that long during the trip.

For example, an aggressive schedule of a day could look like:
7am: get up, prepare breakfast, and have breakfast while the boat is moving to the next site.
around 9am or 10am: get to the site that could be a beach or a diving place, do some swimming, snorkeling, diving, walking around beach. After these activities, it is near noon.
around noon: have a light lunch, prepare to go to the next site.
2pm: arrive a new site, if one still feels energetic, go swimming, etc. if not, have a tea or drink on the beach, do some reading, or just lie on the beach bathing in the sun, or do leisurely walking. If it is a seasonable size island, one also can hang out around the bar, shops,  do some grocery shopping, laundry etc.
6pm: start to prepare dinner on the boat and have dinner while watching terrific sunsets.
8pm: while watching the moon rising,  have some fun talking at the starry night.This ends of the day.

For a more leisurely and family-oriented day, one can plan to visit one island a day or spend two days on one island. It will still be a lot of fun by doing swimming, snorkeling, kayaking, board paddling, bathing in the sun on the beach, walking on the beach to see the sunset. The good thing to visit with a boat instead of a cruise ship is that you will have the feeling that the whole beach is just yours. It is so tranquil, that is the vacation one dreams. As the cruise ship doesn't go to those small islands or small beaches. Even going to a popular place, with a boat you can plan well to arrive earlier to avoid the big crowd.

While traveling with the boat, the feeling of on the boat is just the time while sailing that is just 2 or 4 hours a day. At night, at least for me, I don't have any trouble to fall asleep at all. The bed is cozy, but I like it as it is firm. Also as I have done so much activities during the day, I have a sound sleep every night.

One thing that really bothers me is the bad smell of the toilet on the boat. The shower space is small too. I hate to do push up and down to clean the toilet. I like to have hot water for showers. On the boat one needs to be cautious about the water usage and the electricity usage. Sometimes we have shortage on hot water. But if one plans well, like scheduling filling water tank every two days, it should be no problem with the water.

So, I will say, abstractly, doing islands hopping with a boat is more like traveling with RV. If you don't mind to sacrifice just a little comfort of the modern world, you will have a great experience to explore the nature with the ancient art.

Hiking Trails in Bayarea

Russian Ridge Trails: it has more flexibilities here. The road is well maintained, not difficult at all. One can take an easy hiking for 3-4 miles or take longer ones, like 10/22 miles. The view is fantastic in a sunny day. Highly recommended. Stevenson beach trail: it has nice view of stevenson beach. Most of areas are shaded and well maintained. If you come at the right time, it could have wild flowers and creeks, small water falls. The view of stevenson beach is unbeatable. Moderate difficulty. During rain season, the some of the road could be muddy. Diablo Hike: it is difficult just as the name. Most of the trails have sharp up/downs, but still doable with right shoes. Some part of the view is pretty nice.

Visit Half Moon Bay

We thought today was perfect to visit Half Moon Bay, but when we got there it was still a little foggy. Around 10:30am, we arrived at McNee Ranch State Park. There is a 8-mile long half-loop hiking trail. We took part of it. We started from one parking lot and ended at the other parking lot. It took us around one hour. Luckily when we were at the scenic outlook point, the fog went away and the view is really terrific. One could see the big waves, the ocean, even some rainbows caused by the waves clearly. It is a really nice hiking trail with beautiful views.

Around noon, we went to Pescadero and bought a fresh Artichoke loaf from Norm's Marke (Arcangeli Grocery). Both my mom and Piaw love that bread a lot. We had a light picnic at the back of the grocery store. The picnic area is always pretty and cheerful. This is the third time I have that bread at that picnic area. Then we drove to Pillar Point Harbor, as I am always fascinated by the lively caught Dungeness crabs. At first we saw a shop just at the entrance to the harbor selling crabs at $9 per lb. I ever did some research, it was said that the fishermen usually sell at $6 per lb. So we walked down toward the harbor. It is quite nice that there is a bulletin board marking which port is selling crabs or fishes. We located the boat and bought the lively crabs back home. It is really yummy as even my frugal parents said it was worth the money. If you want to have the crabs caught on the same day, you need to come around 3:30 or so. As the fishermen just come back around that time. The just caught crabs tastes even better.

Oh Yer ... Got my Open Water Referral

In general, it should not be hard to get a diving certificate. But for me, who hasn't done exercise for a year and haven't done swimming for many years as a poor swimmer, it is really a challenge. While trying to book the class with a diving shop close to our place, my friend, Cindy, told me a even cheaper place, Aquatic Discovery. I didn't do any research about this shop. Just called and signed up for the class.
1. bough my personal gears: snorkel, mask, wet suit, fins, boots, gloves at the local store.
2. read PADI diving book. If you are like me who feel bored easily with this "technical reading", just do at least summary, review, and quiz part right before the class.
3. I watched the video just the day before the class. I would recommend to watch the video before reading the book and watch another time after reading the book and right before the class.
4. the exam is quite easy to pass as long as you have done/understood all the chapter reviews and quiz.
5. the pool part is not hard in theory, but one could have mental or psychology block. for me, when the instructor asked me to jump into the pool, I was scared at the beginning. I know in theory, it should be fine. Then I just jumped, it works!
My rule of thumb about pool part is keeping breathing through the regulator. As long as you have air and the regulator works, relax ...

Feebacks:
1. My pool sessions were done in an outdoor swimming pool. Though it is heated, I still feel cold after a hour or so. Being cold is distracting. So either do the ppol session in an indoor swimming pool or in summer.
2. For Aquatic Discovery, it doesn't have its own swimming pool, it is a hassle to put tank into the care, get it out of the car, and carry to the pool side. It will be much less work and stressful, if the shop has its own swimming pool. But I guess, the price may be more expensive to account that.

Visiting Hawaii

Tips
1. When you get to there, just pick up free tour books at the airport.  Tour books give you ideas about what to do, where to visit, and have coupons too. After reading a few of them, you will know all the best places you may visit and plan them ahead.
2. Book boat tours as earlier as possible as it gets filled up soon and weather may change.
3. Bring or prepare your own snorkeling/diving gears. At least, buy a good mask. I have completely different experiences with different masks. The one from costco doesn't work well. It does leak water in, and the lens gets blurred. Go to a local dive shop, try one, and ask the clerk to help you pick the right size with high VISIBILITY. Now I bought mine at Blue Water Aquatics on homestead. The prices of the mask is good, it is even cheaper than Amazon. Buy a pair of socks or booties to avoid that hard rocks or coral may scratch or hurt your feet while you try to stand up. Fins are not required, though it helps floating.
4. I like to live in residential area as it is less crowded, more family friendly, feeling more relaxed like being at home. I booked the places at http://www.vrbo.com. It have more listings and price is much lower than other places too.
5. Hawaii still has Winter and Summer seasons. But don't let the words fool you. During Winter, one can still wear bikini:P. For summer, it is a better time for snorkeling, as the ocean is more calm, almost no waves. It is much more sunny I guess, so the visibility in the water is higher too. During winter, it has waves, so it is good for surfing.

Maui
1. Hana Drive. We did Hana Drive starting from Kahului airport and ending at Kihei area. Yer, we did a tour of east island and passed the broken road. I will say, it is a nice drive, but I may not do it again. We enjoyed the part of the broken road more, but the experience and scenery is similar to drive on Highway One passing Sausalito area. The sunset over the sea was terrific while driving along the broken road.

2. Snorkeling. I went out with a boat tour. It was supposed to go to Monokili but due to the bad weather, it went to Coral Garden instead. It is really beautiful under the water. I didn't do diving, so I don't have any experiences for that for now. For self-supported snorkeling, just locate the famous, expensive hotels, the best beaches or snorkeling sites are just in front of them and are open to public access. The beaches at Kaanapali area are terrific.

3. Wailea-Makena area are worth a visit too. A lot of new condos, hotels, nice beaches.

4. Visit Lahaina downtown to get some cheap tours. There are a lot of deals.

5. West Maui is always pleasant to live both in Winter and Summer. I guess Kilei area is a litte cheaper. As the Island is small, it really doesn't matter so much where you live for a few days visit. But if you would like to stay longer, it depends on what you like better, for snorkeling, west Maui. For surfing, around Kilei.

Kauai
1. Great place for surfing and whale watching at winter time.
2. We stayed at Poipu area. Around Poipu beach park, it is a terrific place to watch sunset. For winter, it is a good place for both snorkeling and surfing. Though Kauai is small, it really doesn't matter where you live, one can easily drive from one side to the farthest side around one hour. Princeville area is pretty too, one may consider to stay there during summer time. The problem to live at Princeville is the driving. Look at the map carefully, the road at HaEna is an dead end.
3. Piaw did scuba diving with dive shop, he loves it.
4. Biking/walking on the paved road for 2-3 hours at Kappa area.
5. Visited Hanalai Bay, one can drive till the end of the road, then it reaches Haena. It is a nice swimming and snorkeling site.
6. Took boat tour to Napa Li Coast.

六世达赖仓央嘉措情诗集

那一刻 我升起风马 不为乞福 只为守候你的到来
那一天 闭目在经殿香雾中 蓦然听见 你颂经中的真言
那一日 垒起玛尼堆 不为修德 只为投下心湖的石子
那一夜 我听了一宿梵唱 不为参悟 只为寻你的一丝气息
那一月 我摇动所有的经筒 不为超度 只为触摸你的指尖
那一年 磕长头匍匐在山路 不为觐见 只为贴着你的温暖
那一世 转山转水转佛塔啊 不为修来生 只为途中与你相见
那一瞬,我飞升成仙,不为长生,只为佑你平安喜乐



第一最好不相见,如此便可不相恋。
第二最好不相知,如此便可不相思。
第三最好不相伴,如此便可不相欠。
第四最好不相惜,如此便可不相忆。
第五最好不相爱,如此便可不相弃。
第六最好不相对,如此便可不相会。
第七最好不相误,如此便可不相负。
第八最好不相许,如此便可不相续。
第九最好不相依,如此便可不相偎。
第十最好不相遇,如此便可不相聚。
但曾相见便相知,相见何如不见时。
安得与君相诀绝,免教生死作相思。


《见与不见》

你见,或者不见我
我就在那里
不悲不喜
你念,或者不念我
情就在那里
不来不去
你爱,或者不爱我
爱就在那里
不增不减
你跟,或者不跟我
我的手就在你手里
不舍不弃
来我的怀里
或者
让我住进你的心里
默然 相爱
寂静 欢喜



住进布达拉宫,
我是雪域最大的王。
流浪在拉萨街头,
我是世间最美的情郎。

我问佛:为何不给所有女子羞花闭月的容颜?
佛曰:那只是昙花的一现,用来蒙蔽世俗的眼
没有什么美可以抵过一颗纯净仁爱的心
我把它赐给每一个女子
可有人让它蒙上了灰

我问佛:世间为何有那么多遗憾?
佛曰:这是一个婆娑世界,婆娑即遗憾
没有遗憾,给你再多幸福也不会体会快乐

我问佛:如何让人们的心不再感到孤单?
佛曰:每一颗心生来就是孤单而残缺的
多数带着这种残缺度过一生
只因与能使它圆满的另一半相遇时
不是疏忽错过,就是已失去了拥有它的资格

我问佛:如果遇到了可以爱的人,却又怕不能把握该怎么办?
佛曰:留人间多少爱,迎浮世千重变
和有情人,做快乐事
别问是劫是缘

我问佛:如何才能如你般睿智?
佛曰:佛是过来人,人是未来佛 佛把世间万物分为十界:佛,菩萨,声闻,缘觉,天,阿修罗,人,畜生,饿鬼,地狱;
天,阿修罗,人,畜生,饿鬼,地狱.为六道众生;
六道众生要经历因果轮回,从中体验痛苦。
在体验痛苦的过程中,只有参透生命的真谛,才能得到永生。
凤凰,涅盘

佛曰,人生有八苦:生,老,病,死,爱别离,怨长久,求不得,放不下。

佛曰:命由己造,相由心生,世间万物皆是化相,心不动,万物皆不动,心不变,万物皆不变。

佛曰:坐亦禅,行亦禅,一花一世界,一叶一如来,春来花自青,秋至叶飘零,无穷般若心自在,语默动静体自然。

佛说:万法皆生,皆系缘份,偶然的相遇,暮然的回首,注定彼此的一生,只为眼光交汇的刹那。

缘起即灭,缘生已空。
我也曾如你般天真

佛门中说一个人悟道有三阶段:“勘破、放下、自在。”
的确,一个人必须要放下,才能得到自在。

我问佛:为什么总是在我悲伤的时候下雪
佛说:冬天就要过去,留点记忆

我问佛:为什么每次下雪都是我不在意的夜晚
佛说:不经意的时候人们总会错过很多真正的美丽

我问佛:那过几天还下不下雪
佛说:不要只盯着这个季节,错过了今冬
与玛吉阿米的更传神~

自恐多情损梵行,
入山又怕误倾城.
世间安得双全法,
不负如来不负卿.

其一
心头影事幻重重,化作佳人绝代容,
恰似东山山上月,轻轻走出最高峰。
  (此言倩影之来心上,如明月之出东山。)

其二
转眼荣枯便不同,昔日芳草化飞蓬,
饶君老去形骸在,变似南方竹节弓。
  (藏南布丹等地产良弓,以竹为之。)

其三
意外娉婷忽见知,结成鸳侣慰相思,
此身似历茫茫海,一颗骊珠乍得时。

其四
邂逅谁家一女郎,玉肌兰气郁芳香,
可怜璀粲松精石,不遇知音在路旁。
  (松石藏人所佩,示可避邪,为宝石之一种。)

其五
名门娇女态翩翩,阅尽倾城觉汝贤,
比似园林多少树,枝头一果骋鲊妍。
(以枝头果状伊人之美颇为别致。)

其六

一自魂消那壁厢,至今寤寐不断忘,
当时交臂还相失,此后思君空断肠。

  其七

  我与伊人本一家,情缘虽尽莫咨嗟,
清明过了春自去,几见狂蜂恋落花。

  其八

  青女欲来天气凉,蒹葭和露晚苍苍,
黄蜂散尽花飞尽,怨杀无情一夜霜。

  (意谓拆散蜂与花者霜也。)

  其九

  飞来野骛恋丛芦,能向芦中小住无,
一事寒心留不得,层冰吹冻满平湖。

  其十

  莫道无情波日舟,舟中木马解回头,
不知负义儿家婿,尚解回头一顾不。

  (藏中渡船皆刻木为马,其头反顾。)

  其十一

  游戏拉萨十字街,偶逢商女共徘徊,
匆匆绾个同心结,掷地旋看已自开。


其十二

  长干小生最可怜,为立祥幡傍柳边,
树底阿哥须护惜,莫教飞石到幡前。

  (藏俗于屋前多坚经幡,用以祈福。此诗可谓君子之爱人也,因及于其屋之幡。)

  其十三

  手写瑶笺被雨淋,模糊点画费探寻,
纵然灭却书中字,难灭情人一片心。

  其十四

  小印圆匀黛色深,私钳纸尾意沉吟,
烦君刻画相思去,印入伊人一寸心。

  (藏人多用圆印,其色作黛绿。)

  其十五

  细腰蜂语蜀葵花,何日高堂供曼遮,
但使侬骑花背稳,请君驮上法王家。

  (曼遮,佛前供养法也。)

  其十六

  含情私询意中人,莫要空门证法身,
卿果出家吾亦逝,入山和汝断红尘。

  (此上二诗于本分之为二。言虽出家,亦不相离。
前诗葵花比意中人,细腰蜂所以自况也。其意一贯,故前后共为一首。)

  其十七

  至诚皈命喇嘛前,大道明明为我宣,
无奈此心狂未歇,归来仍到那人边。

  其十八

  入定修观法眼开,启求三宝降灵台,
观中诸圣何曾见,不请情人却自来。

  其十九

  静时修止动修观,历历情人挂眼前,
肯把此心移学道,即生成佛有何难。

  (以上二诗亦为一首,于分为二。藏中佛法最重观想观中之佛菩萨,名曰本尊。此谓观中本尊不现,而情人反现也。昔见他本情歌二章,余约其意为蝶恋花词云:静坐焚香观法像,不见如来,镇日空凝想。只有情人来眼上,亭亭铸出娇模样。碧海无言波自荡,金雁飞来,忽露惊疑状。此事寻常君莫怅,微风皱作鳞鳞浪。前半阕所咏即此诗也。)

  其二十

  醴泉石露和流霞,不是寻常卖酒家,
空女当垆亲赐饮,醉乡开出吉祥花。

  (空行女是诸佛眷属,能福人。)

  其二十一

  为竖幡幢诵梵经,欲凭道力感娉婷,
琼筵果奉佳人召,知是前朝佛法灵。

无端觑看情郎面,不觉红涡晕两腮。


其二十三

  情到浓时起致辞,可能长作玉交枝,
除非死后当分散,不遣生前有别离。

  (前二句是问词,后二句是答词。)

  其二十四

  曾虑多情损梵行,入山又恐别倾城,
世间安得双全法,不负如来不负卿。

  其二十五

  绝似花蜂困网罗,奈他工布少年何,
圆成好梦才三日,又拟将身学佛陀。

  (工布藏中地名,此女子诮所欢男子之辞。)

  其二十六

  别后行踪费我猜,可曾非议赴阳台,
同行只有钗头凤,不解人前告密来。

  (此疑所欢女子有外遇而致恨钗头凤之缄口无言也。
原文为髻上松石今以钗头凤代之。)

  其二十七

  微笑知君欲诱谁,两行玉齿露参差,
此时心意真相属,可肯侬前举誓词。

  其二十八

  飞来一对野鸳鸯,撮合劳他贳酒娘,
但使有情成眷属,不辞辛苦作慈航。

  (拉萨酒家撮合痴男怨女,即以酒肆作女闾。)

  其二十九

  密意难为父母陈,暗中私说与情人,
情人更向情人说,直到仇家听得真。

  其三十

  腻婥仙人不易寻,前朝遇我忽成禽,
无端又被卢桑夺,一入侯门似海深。

  (腻婥拉荣,译言为夺人魂魄之神女卢桑人名,
当时有力权贵也。藏人谓此诗有故事,未详。)

  其三十一

  明知宝物得来难,在手何曾作宝看,
直到一朝遗失后,每思奇痛彻心肝。

  其三十二

  深怜密爱誓终身,忽抱琵琶向别人,
自理愁肠磨病骨,为卿憔悴欲成尘。

  其三十三

  盗过佳人便失踪,求神问卜冀重逢,
思量昔日天真处,只有依稀一梦中。

  (此盗亦复风雅,唯难乎其为失主耳。)


其三十四

  少年浪迹爱章台,性命唯堪寄酒怀,
传语当垆诸女伴,卿如不死定常来。

  (一云:当垆女子未死日,杯中美酒无尽时,少年一身安所托,
此间乐可常栖迟。此当垆女,当是仓央嘉措夜出便门私会之人。)

  其三十五

  美人不是母胎生,应是桃花树长成,
已恨桃花容易落,落花比汝尚多情。

  (此以桃花易谢,比彼姝之情薄。)

  其三十六

  生小从来识彼姝,问渠家世是狼无,
成堆血肉留难住,奔走荒山何所图。

  (此竟以狼况彼姝,恶其野性难驯。)

  其三十七

  山头野马性难驯,机陷犹堪制彼身,
自叹神通空具足,不能调伏枕边人。

  (此又以野马况之。)

  其三十八

  羽毛零乱不成衣,深悔苍鹰一怒非,
我为忧思自憔悴,那能无损旧腰围。

  (鹰怒则损羽毛人忧亦亏形容,此以比拟出之。)

  其三十九

  浮云内黑外边黄,此是天寒欲雨霜,
班弟貌僧心是俗,明明末法到沧桑。

  (班弟教名,此藏中外道,故仓央嘉措斥之。)

  其四十

  外虽解冻内偏凝,骑马还防踏暗冰,
往诉不堪逢彼怒,美人心上有层冰。

  (谓被美外柔内刚惴惴然常恐不当其意。)

  其四十一

  弦望相看各有期,本来一体异盈亏。
腹中顾兔消磨尽,始是清光饱满时。

  (此与杜子美所却月中桂清光应更多同意,藏中学者谓此诗以月比君子,兔比小人,信然。原及其晦,疑其上下句有颠倒,余以意通之,译如此。)

  其四十二

  前月推移后月行,暂时分手不须哀,
吉祥白月行看近,又到佳期第二回。

  (藏人依天竺俗,谓月满为吉祥白月。)

  其四十二

  须弥不动住中央,日月游行绕四方,
各驾轻车投熟路,未须却脚叹迷阳。

  (日月皆绕须弥,出佛经。)

  其四十四

  新月才看一线明,气吞碧落便横行,
初三自诩清光满,十五何来皓魄盈?

  (讥小人小得意便志得意满。)


其四十五

  十地庄严住法王,誓言诃护有金刚,
神通大力知无敌,尽逐魔军去八荒。

  (此赞佛之词。)

  其四十六

  杜宇新从漠地来,天边春色一时回,
还如意外情人至,使我心花顷刻开。

  (藏地高寒杜宇啼而后春至,此又以杜宇况其情人。)

  其四十七

  不观生灭与无常,但逐轮回向死亡,
绝顶聪明矜世智,叹他于此总茫茫。

  (谓人不知佛法,不能观死无常虽智实愚。)

  其四十八

  君看众犬吠狺狺,饲以雏豚亦易训,
只有家中雌老虎,愈温存处愈生嗔。

  (此又斥之为虎,且抑虎而扬犬,读之可发一笑。)

  其四十九

  抱惯娇躯识重轻,就中难测是深情,
输他一种觇星术,星斗弥天认得清。

  (天上之繁星易测,而彼美之心难测,然既抱惯娇躯识重轻矣。而必欲知其情之深浅,何哉?我欲知之,而彼偏不令我知之,而我弥欲知之,如是立言是真能勘破痴儿女心事者,此诗可谓妙文嘉措可谓快人。)

  其五十

  郁郁南山树草繁,还从幽处会婵娟,
知情只有闲鹦鹉,莫向三叉路口言。

  (此野合之词。)

  其五十—

  拉萨游女漫如云,琼结佳人独秀群,
我向此中求伴侣,最先属意便为君。

  (琼结地名佳丽所自出。杜少陵诗云:
燕赵休矜出佳丽,后宫不拟进才人。此适与之相反。)

  其五十二

  龙钟黄犬老多髭,镇日司阍仗尔才,
莫道夜深吾出去,莫言破晓我归来。

  (比黄犬当是为仓央嘉措看守便门者。)

  其五十三

  为寻情侣去匆匆,破晓归来积雪中,
就里机关谁识得,仓央嘉措布拉宫。

  (以上二诗原本为一首而于本分之。)

  其五十四

  夜走拉萨逐绮罗,有名荡子是汪波。
而今秘密浑无用,一路琼瑶足迹多。

  (此记更名宕桑汪波,游戏酒家,踏雪留痕为执事僧识破事。)

  其五十五

  玉软香温被裹身,动人怜处是天真,
疑他别有机权在,巧为钱刀作笑颦。


其五十六

  轻垂辫发结冠缨,临别叮咛缓缓行。
不久与君须会合,暂时判袂莫伤情。

  (仓央嘉措别传言夜出,有假发为世俗人装,故有垂发结缨之事。
当是与所欢相诀之词,而藏人则谓是被拉藏汗逼走之预言。)

  其五十七

  跨鹤高飞意壮哉,云霄一羽雪皑皑,
此行莫恨天涯远,咫尺理塘归去来。

  (七世达赖转生理塘,藏人谓是仓央嘉措再世,即据此诗。)

  其五十九

  死后魂游地狱前,冥王业镜正高悬,
一困阶下成禽日,万鬼同声唱凯旋。

  其五十九

  卦箭分明中鹄来,箭头颠倒落尘埃,
情人一见还成鹄,心箭如何挽得回?

  (卦箭卜巫之物,藏中喇嘛用以决疑者。
此谓卦箭中鹄,有去无还,亦如此心驰逐情人,往而不返也。)

  其六十

  孔雀多生印度东,娇鹦工布产偏丰,
二禽相去当千里,同在拉萨一市中。

  其六十一

  行事曾叫众口哗,本来白璧有微暇,
少年琐碎零星步,曾到拉萨卖酒家。

  其六十二

  鸟对垂杨似有情,垂杨亦爱鸟轻盈,
若叫树鸟长如此,伺隙苍鹰那得撄?

  (虽两情缱绻而事机不密,亦足致败,仓央嘉措于此似不无噬脐之悔。)

  其六十三

  结尽同心缔尽缘,此生虽短意缠绵,
与卿再世相逢日,玉树临风一少年。

  其六十四

  盼咐林中解语莺,辩才虽好且休鸣,
画眉阿姊垂杨畔,我要听他唱一声。

  (时必有以不入耳之言,强聒于仓央嘉措之前者。)

  其六十五

  纵使龙魔逐我来,张牙舞爪欲为灾,
眼前苹果终须吃,大胆将他摘一枚。

  (龙魔谓强暴,苹果喻佳人,此大有见义不为无勇之慨。)

  其六十六

  但曾相见便相知,相见何如不见时?
安得与君相诀绝,免教辛苦作相思。

  (强作解脱语,愈解脱,愈缠绵,以此作结,悠然不尽。
或云当移在三十九首后,则索然矣。)


那一夜,我听了一宿梵唱,不为参悟,只为寻你的一丝气息。
那一月,我转过所有经轮,不为超度,只为触摸你的指纹。
那一年,我磕长头拥抱尘埃,不为朝佛,只为贴着了你的温暖。
那一世,我翻遍十万大山,不为修来世,只为路中能与你相遇。
那一瞬,我飞升成仙,不为长生,只为佑你平安喜乐。
那一天,那一月,那一年,那一世

那一天
闭目在经殿的香雾中
蓦然听见
你诵经的真言

那一月
我转动所有的经筒
不为超度
只为触摸你的指尖

那一年
我磕长头匍匐在山路
不为觐见
只为贴着你的温暖

那一世
我转山转水转佛塔呀
不为修来世
只为在途中与你相见

天空中洁白的仙鹤
请将你的双翅借我
我不往远处去飞
只到理塘就回
