For my point of view, the function of humans in the universe is helping other people and let other people feel the beauty of the universe. Also, it will be admirable if people leave something and keep have positive impact to the world. It has so tiny chance to be an intelligent life entity in the universe. Therefore, we have to utilize the opportunity to bring happiness and love to other people, and live the the life we will remember. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n From Buddhist ideology, any life will become other life forms after their death. What you will become in the next life loop depends on how much good things you did in the past. If a people do enough good things to the universe, they will live above the universe and no more life loop for them. I believe this could guide us to make our world a better place.<\/p>\n Q: Do you find any of these principles more difficult to achieve than others in your own creative practice? How?<\/p>\n The principle I feel difficult to achieve in my own creative practice is \u201cchange is constant(Be like water)\u201d. I remember Bruce Lee also said the similar sentence, \u201cEmpty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup, it becomes the cup.\u201d This is also a key concept from Tao. For my understanding, Water could be different forms in different environment. As humans, if we could be like water we will be adaptive to both negative and positive situation. Our world is constantly changing and our mindset should also keep up with the times. Our life will be easier if we become comprehensive and receptive.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n For myself, I always strictly follow the instruction and flow of work or study, which make me be inefficient and less creative in different aspects. Some times, we have to break rules(it has to be legal), then we could find multiple possibility especially for doing art works.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cA mushroom is a toxin-transformer, a dandelion is a community of healers waiting to spread\u2026\u201d (9) Q: In your view, what is a function of humans in the universe?
