EP03 - Buddhism is not a kind of religion, it’s a core to understand the science as a being.
Tumblr media
Study quantum mechanics allows me to link many things happened in our nature together, regardless the tangible or the intangible one.  There is no absolute correct answer in this nature, and there is no absolute right or wrong in this statement too. Every single individual, as small as quantum, as big as cosmos, having a superposition of possibility to exist in particular way. All these can be structured as a wave function, with the guidance of Schrödinger equation to make predictions, but still, there is no absolute in there. We cannot strangle the other possibilities because of the outcome we measured, because what it gives is just a guidance to your focal point. This recalls a saying in ‘Being Peace’ by Thich Nhat Hanh, “Buddha’s teaching is only a raft to help you cross the river, a finger pointing to the moon. Don’t mistake the finger for the moon. The raft is not the shore. If we cling to the raft, if we cling to the finger, we miss everything”.
Frankly speaking, I will put Buddhism as a wave function, because it is an epistemology; the result needs not be, or cannot be showed in a physical system; and its existence and ideology are differed to every individual observer, as similar to quantum mechanics - they are correspondingly resonated to each other; we are unable to have a Heisenberg Cut to perceive Buddhism as either microscopic or macroscopic, instead it is a nonduality as advocated in the idea of Buddhism - nil compartmentalization, both microscopic and macroscopic are representing an unity. And this core of idea can spread out to be applied in different contexts. For instance, in complying the nature of quantum mechanics, the theory makes its contribution in several areas, namely quantum computing, purported applications such as quantum leadership, quantum psychology, quantum love, quantum happiness..... These seemingly relate to our real life without the effort of understanding it microscopically, we are them as a whole, and they are us as a whole. As same as quantum mechanics, the objectives of Buddhism can also be differed from countries due to their unique culture, history, and spirit. In America, there is American Buddhism; in Vietnam, there is Vietnamese Buddhism; in Japan, there is Japanese Buddhism..... Different languages, different cultures, but they all share the same ideology to understand the livings and world. 
In Buddhism, we tend not to take side between two, we understand each and reconcile them as a whole, because they are in nature a system with entanglement. To reconcile them, the negotiation has to be taken out to make the scattering ideas collapse into a concentrated result - just like how the wave function behaves before and upon the measurement.
Buddha’s teaching does not consist assertion, its existence is not to be the highness among the other principles, doctrines, or ideologies; neither dictates nor rules the world. It is rather a compass for human’s internal awakening and understanding, and so bringing the peace to every beings to have a sustainable life in this world - Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha.
The science, testify the nature of Buddhism, gives many credible explanations for most of the happenings on earth. In the meantime it constructs the world, it is also destructing the world too. In the concept of entanglement, we are in the superposition of the results, we are the result, the result is us; our intention makes the result, and the result is our intention - the result appears in our observing position (Quantum Bayesianism, or QBism). Our world is a system of particles, we are the particles, why can’t we collapse our intention like a position in the wave function and bring our world to the positive world among the Many-Worlds? Buddhas, the awaken one could be the Buddha. Each of us is buddha, but depends on the degree of awakening. Buddha won’t be taking side on science right? Even when science leads to constructive scientific products and destructive scientific products, they reconcile it right?
Think about it. Bye la.

EP02 - Raising emotion on tackling climate change
Tumblr media
Green actions have been taken in Europe and western countries for a long time, but those approaches remained silent in Asia until the pandemic fuels up the market emotion on addressing the global warming and climate change problem. From individual to powerful tycoons, from a country to a world, it is undeniable that everyone is making their own stance on 4 different angles to look on the climate issue:  1. being serious on the matter, determined to pull everyone together making a change; 2. glaring at becoming the lead and a competent player in the market; 3. becoming a follower to stay relevant; 4. being shortsighted on future disaster and stay focus on current lucrative opportunities.
Back to the topic, the peak emotion in the society should not just be a hype, this hot blood should never be cooled, while initiatives and ideas ought to put into practices with patience. There is neither an existing shortcut nor assistance of miracle power, only perseverance and long term efforts will play the role. But sarcastically saying, we are out of time. 
I admit that this pandemic really steered my determination to join the alliance on tackling environment issue, but before this I felt unsecured and unconfident on pursuing the relevant studies in Asia. In Asia, there was a period when green advocates and initiatives stayed stagnant in the market and communities until the pandemic broke the ice. Before that, rarely we heard any market giant genuinely encouraging and investing on the green businesses and development, which naturally brought up the undetectable tendency that majority just put the attention on expanding and growing the market, no matter how did the deteriorating construction on human pride destruct the mother earth and nature. Holistically, as a consequences, majority of the stakeholders lost their rationalities on gaining profits from the market - the origin of humanity and civilization had been forgotten, or even worse, eliminated.
Secondly, the education system requires a big change, this is a heavy, plus pivotal rudder to steer the society fundamentally towards a success future to make a pragmatic and genuine changes - this is the power of empowering the new generations. The potential of young generation is tremendous, we don’t want them to be the innocent scapegoats of the industrial revolution, so we must equip them with certain knowledges and abilities to protect the communities, and thus they may assure themselves a sustainable future.
This topic can jump off from the sky and land the problem back on individual, I won’t assert that we are wrong to benefit ourselves, our family, community, or even nation, but we are the problem. The society teaches us a lot, but also make us lose our consciousness of what is the root and reason to cause us setting off numerous time to fly up high to seek for higher power and authority. All in all, in the end, what can truly give us peace and harmony? Aren’t they the nature and the warmth of humanity?
I want to back into my peace now. Bye la.

EP01 -Introduction of treeblog
Tumblr media
HOW should I start? This is the question that always pops out in my mind whenever I want to put my ideas into action. It is ambiguous, uncertain, but enriching with the determination. Despite starting with uncertainty, but I believe the first step will always lead to the second step. If not now, when then?
I am finding this platform to express my ideas on the development of green action, technology...... However, all of these are without assertion and definite answer. In the mean time of sharing my thoughts and new updates on the sustainability technologies, I hope this can bridge me to a mutual community, in order to defend and empower the new generation against the climate change.
20, a Malaysian girl with tanned complexion and, a smile. An optimist but sometimes being complacent. While pursuing bachelor study in Singapore, I spend time study about green technologies, climate change, sustainable construction and environment, as well as renewable energy. I love trees, I love greeneries, I love and appreciate this world.
Wow, this is a good start. Bye la.
