CURRENT MISSION

：D

(and have some little changes)

ABOUT ME

delightful.

i think there are many parts of me, depends on what kind of person i met. However, i think that actually the concept of me doesn't exist. (There is a "svabhāva" which is exist... but "me or myself" is something like a dream which doesn't exist... will exist until i'm... Not in th dream.)

I'm a vegetarian :D

I love to be alone
and be with others as well. (◕u◕)

PHILOSOPHY

佛法 -long time ago, "religion" in Chinese means "the most important education'', and “the Buddhist” here stands for that kind of education in my life.

I believe that by nature, humans are kind and wise///

the Earth：D

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

had my first experience at Tokyo with friends in nov, 2014 , wonderfully amazing. The time spending with the hosts are enchanted unforgettable.

Interests

reading, movies, pianting – drawing – sketching - writing, photoing and little adventures. (board games and traveling as well.)

i'm curious. have lots of interests, and satisfy my curiosity most by reading, so as knowing the world, the truth and myself.

Having (imaginations of) different experiences of life by watching movies. (Couldn’t resist lovely details and affections – especially the sincere one.)
Satisfying my sense of beauty by watching the surroundings and photoing. Quite sensitive.

i think every (even tiny little) things are beautiful, so beautiful in their ways, their poses. I tend to stare at things (that catch my attention) and try to figure out how does it work (it starts from everything nature - especially creatures- thought of being a biologist when I was liitle) and more and more, however, often failed due to my poor comprehension and database... Or just too insist that make me fail...///

i love earth since i was little.
In my mind, the Earth stands beyond anything...even the animal rights and human rights which are the other things i regard as enormous important. However i'm changing this stubborn faith cause i found that everything are actually equal, they are no differences.

I had a dream about traveling around the world when I was little, however, as I'm getting older, I realized there're something/feeling I cannot just ignore and go as usual. I'll fulfill it in another way\\\

Contribution to the society and world is my major concern now. (Still learning and trying.) Am now immersed in wide ranges of lectures and interesting (quite profound) activities.

i love paintings and admire others'. Enjoy exhibitions. http://www.pinterest.com/ysince1991/

A wish that I've kept making every time when I have to make a wish since I was 9 is "world peace".
