THIS IS NOT the final version. Because English is not my mother language, because my knowledge is still very limited, and also because my experiences are still reevaluated days by days, this writing is always at a state of change... Another version in Dutch would be ready later, together with Dong Nguyen.
I do not intend to show something new, neither do I say anything about meditation. Meditation is more than just try to enjoy life. What I experienced has really been taught by Buddha and his disciples some 25 centuries ago, but for many today it is still mysterious or supernatural...

As my experiences, it is nothing supernatural but another kind of science. It is another side of the River of Knowledge...
This is not The ending of my seeking for the Truth. On the contrary, it is just the beginning to the True Liberation, but my life is more and more meaningful today. I wake up every day in very pleasant feeling !.
It is my great pleasure if my writing would in some ways be useful for someone, to enjoy life in the Present Moment ...

WITH SPECIAL THANK for the Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh. Although I never have the honour to be a student of him, his writtings take me through another space. I saw another side of the River, I saw the Silent Space, I did cross the Point of no return ...
My life is totally changed ...

DEFINED SPACE : (Updated August, 2002) : Realizing I could still have more then 30 years to enjoy my life, a Space is defined for the rest of my life no matter what I could do for a living ...

  • PHOTOGRAPHY : another way of enjoying life ! So as long as my body-and-mind is still in ... order and I could afford a camera system, it is with me ... See Nguoi Binh Duong.
    Of course, money is always the problem if you want a day out for photography, but as long as you are not making money or name from photography, that is, you are still a Ghost or a Side-someone in the Society, you do not need any permission from anyone for making photos ...
    So, Photography is with Me for the rest of my life ...

  • FEBRUARY, 2004 After long sparing, the arsenal of Photography is strengthened with a Minolta Dimmage film-scanner.

    MAY, 2004 : Got a new Pentum HT 2.8 Ghz, laying out the foundation for a life-time project ...

    OCTOBER 2005, Dong got her introductory diploma in Bio-Medical Technology, with 10/10 for Programming, 10/10 for Probability and 9.5/10 for Math !

    NOVEMBER 2005, Dong want to be into the same way as Me ! She stops her study at Bio-Medial Technology and begins with Computer Technology ! ...

    JANUARY 2006, after have " discovered " the power of eDonkey2000 free download-software, within a few months, I got today nearly 7 Gig e-books from all kind of subjects, ofcourse most of them are in the field of Photography and Computer Science !
    Foundation for a life-time project is therefore created : everything within the power of a PC and the web ...

    FEBRUARY 2006, I participate in a social project for people in Jobless-In-Profession. That is , 20 hours per week working as a duty for getting welfare. After 10 weeks working as a non-professional-worker, I enjoy my ... job very much en decided to be a life-time-worker-for-free...

    20011, Sau Rieng , still no expectation for meaningful changings upcomming years ...
