The Tibetan Antelope Kneeling On Its knees
Today I am going to tell you a true story about a life-altering event that happened to an old hunter from Tibet’s northern lands.
Early in the morning, the hunter saw a group of Tibetan antelopes on grass hill near his tent. He rushed out of his tent and mounted his horse with his rifle. The antelopes all quickly ran away except one. A strong, fat one ran only a few steps and came back. It looked imploringly at him, stepped up towards him and then knelt on its knees with tears streaming down from its eyes. Feeling softhearted for a flashing moment, the hunter did not pull the trigger. But after he shut his eyes, pulled the trigger and the antelope fell onto the ground in a kneeling position with discernible tears still on its face.
The old hunter restlessly cut the Tibetan antelope open. What he had saw made him choke on his breath and the knife fell on the ground with a crash. He saw a baby antelope lying in the womb, surely dead. All of a sudden he realized why the antelope was strong and fat and why it heavily knelt before him and cried: It was imploring him to have mercy on its baby!
The old hunter buried the antelope and its unborn baby together with his hunting rifle that day
I will never forget this story. Today I told it to more people and I’d like to point out: In the world the kneeling of loving mothers, whatever of human being or animal is sacred. Lives of all kinds are equal. Let us care about the nature, care about our life with our affection and respect to the life. Hopefully we could live harmoniously, as part of nature.
跪拜的藏羚羊
今天我要告訴大家一個發生在西藏北部的故事。這件事，促使一位老獵人改變了對生命的認識。
那天清晨，老獵人看到不遠的草坡上有一羣藏羚羊，立即跨上烈馬，追了過去，藏羚羊四處逃竄，奇怪的是，有隻肥壯的藏羚羊沒跑多遠，卻轉過身來，用乞求的眼神望着他，然後衝向他前行兩步，兩條前腿撲通一聲跪了下來，與此同時，兩行長淚從它眼裏流出。老獵人心頭一軟，扣動扳機的手不由地鬆了一下，可是隨即他雙眼一閉，槍聲響起，那隻藏羚羊栽倒在地，倒地後仍然是跪臥的姿勢。臉頰上的兩行淚跡仍然清晰地留着。
老獵人懷着忐忑不安的心情對那隻藏羚羊開膛扒皮，眼前的一切讓他屏住了呼吸，手中的屠刀咣噹一聲掉在地上，原來在藏羚羊的子宮裏靜靜地臥着一隻小藏羚羊，它已經成型，自然是死了。這時候老獵人才明白爲什麼這隻藏羚羊的身體特別肥壯，也明白了它爲什麼給自己下跪，流淚。它是求獵人留下自己孩子的生命呀!
當天，老獵人將那隻藏羚羊連同它沒有出世的孩子掩埋了，同時埋掉的還有他的槍。
這個故事曾經讓我久久不能釋懷，今天我把這個故事說給更多的人聽，我更要說，天下所有慈母的跪拜，包括動物在內，都是神聖的，一切的生命都是平等的，讓我們所有的人懷着對生命的一種感動和敬畏，去珍愛自然，珍愛生命。願人類能成爲自然的`一部分並和自然和諧共處。
Be Like a Pine Tree And Bear What You Can
School had been very easy for me in the beginning. I had been the usual routine---show up for school, complete assignments, take tests, get grades. And that was usually straight A’s. I thought school was that easy.
Suddenly middle school began. Sure, I was a top student for six years, why would it be any harder? It was; the bad mark in a pop quiz deeply humbled me.
I became very resentful and angry about my situation. I felt so depressed for feeling inferior.
One winter day we had a heavy snow. Mother took me for a long walk. “ See those elm trees,” she said. “ The branches are broken. The trees may die. But look at those pine trees! They are not hurt by the snow.” “ When they have more snow than they can hold, they lower the branches and let the snow slip away. The next morning they are as good as ever.”
“There are just two kinds of trees in the world: the stubborn and the wise. Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can, then let the load slide off. You will move forward lightly.”
Yes, “Be like a pine tree. Bear what you can! ” Shake off resentment, angry and depression. We will have a bright future.
像松樹那樣, 能承擔多少就承擔多少
求學之初，我一直得心應手。一切不外乎是每天上學，做作業，考考試，拿學分。而我的分數經常是優。我覺得求學竟是那般容易。
倏忽之間，中學學習生涯開始了。千真萬確，我做了六年的優等生，難道功課還會變得更難?確實如此。在一次突襲考試中，我糟糕的成績深深挫傷了我的傲氣。
我爲我的境況變得憤懣不平。我灰心、失望，因爲我感覺低人一等。
冬日的一天，外邊下了一場大雪。媽媽帶我去散步。“瞧那榆樹”，媽媽說，“樹枝都折斷了，這些樹會死的。再瞧那松樹，它們不會受到雪的傷害。它們把枝丫垂下, 使雪滑落。第二天清晨，依舊完好如初。”
“世界上只有兩種樹，一種頑固不化;一種機智聰明。做一棵松樹吧!能承受多少就承受多少。 然後抖掉包袱，你就能輕鬆前行。”
是的，像松樹那樣, 能承擔多少就承擔多少,抖掉怨恨、憤懣和失望，我們將擁有一個燦爛的明天。

Discovering Beauty
Life is full of beauty. Beauty lies not only in nature but also in our heart. If we have a heart enflamed and a soul enchanted, we can find beauty everywhere around.
Let beauty be our guide to understand ourselves. People always have a strong desire for better appearance. Whatever their age, size, or shape, they hope to look more attractive. Beauty is only skin deep. But true beauty lies deep inside us. A heart for love is the most valuable. Only in our heart does beauty make our life beautiful.
Let beauty be our way to communicate with nature. At the foot of the hill, we see beauty running in the clear river smoothly. On top of the mount, we see beauty rising with the dawn from the east quietly. In the heat of summer, we see beauty dancing with the autumn leaves. In the cold of winter, we see beauty coming with the spring upon sprouts. We shout, we love you, Nature! Our voice reverberates across the mountains, while beauty reverberates in our heart!
Let beauty be our bridge between man and nature. In the harmony, beauty is a garden for ever in bloom and a flock of angels for ever in flight.
Beauty is something to see, to breathe, to feel and to complete. Beauty is life when life unveils her holy face.
發現美
生活中處處有美麗。美，在我們心中，也在大自然中。如果我們擁有一顆燃燒的心，和一個充滿喜悅的靈魂，我們周圍到處都有美。
讓美成爲我們瞭解自我的嚮導。人們總是渴望自己容貌可人。無論年齡大小，無論身高體型，人們總是追求世上，以便看上卻更富有魅力。然而，我們不能以貌取人。真正的美不是膚淺的，而是深藏在我們心中。友情和友愛我們生活中最珍貴的，是真正的美，是永恆的美。
讓美成爲我們與自然溝通的途徑。在山谷，我們看見美在清澈的溪流中輕輕流淌。在山巔，我們看見美與辰光一同從東方升起。在炎炎的夏日，我們看見美與秋葉共舞，在嚴寒的冬日，我們看見美與春天同至，雀躍於嫩綠中。我們大聲呼喊，我們愛你，大自然!我們的呼喚在山巒迴盪，美在我們心間迴響。
讓美在人類和自然之間架起一座橋樑。人類只有迴歸自然，才能找到永恆之美。在天人合一中，永恆之美是一座永遠盛開的花園，是一羣在天空展翅飛翔的天使。
美之於我，是生命的律動!當生命摘去遮蓋在她聖潔面容的面紗時，美就是生命。
