PART  II  WORDS FROM THE OTHERS   他人所書

影像中文字解釋


"Teacher Hope, your inquiry is very powerful," says one student of mine; "Why can we not able to give ourselves any credit when we have completed a grand journey such as serving the needed?"

This student keeps on stating that "When we feel the roads ahead are ambiguous, we need people to clarify things for us. People like Hope have this kind of function. That clarification helps us to see things clearer, esp. in the side of helping the others, though during the process of helping the needed, there are so many voices appearing in our mind. Because of such encouragement, we can carry on. 
In a way, I feel Teacher Hope is our True North."


Personally, as Teacher Hope, I am convinced I can be that steady due to the missionary, humanitarian efforts I have made through the years. Those tasks can be extremely daunting but unbelievably rewarding. Indeed I am honored to be a part of those efforts, no matter how small or big those efforts are. 
以我個人的角度來說,我認為自己之所以變成某種像指北針那樣的角色,
是由於我在服務工作上的深度及廣度所造成,再無其他……

"I am touched by your words, Teacher Hope, as you especially mentioned these words below." 我被老師妳所講的話感動,因為妳說「……也許關鍵在於我們是否敢於將自己的一片赤誠,因為我們對他人的信任感,而不加掩飾地放在他人面前。同時,這也關乎於是否我們對自己有足夠的信念,敢於將自己的弱點與盲點,開誠佈公提出,與那些屬於我們的夥伴的人們商議。」






PART  III  WORDS FROM THIS AUTHOR   本文作者所書


看著我許多自信度有狀況的學生,在面對他人時僅以有限的音量說話,或者陳述他們這裡不夠好、那裡不夠好,又或者把自己完完全全用口罩、帽子、長髮等完全遮掩起來時,我會對於人類如何成長為具有自信的個體,或者完全沒有自信,感到著迷。

 

 

近來,當我較為深入了解那些關於此種知識範疇的相關文獻時,我在書中讀到語言學者、心理學家早已將SECURITY這個英語字彙,界定為像是「(有無)安全感」的內在心理世界狀態,而非純粹的SECURITY GUARD所言之「守衛」的那種「保護」等相關字眼。每一天都呈現著多種學習機會,果真不假,因為過去的我並沒有把像是「情緒的」、「內在的」這樣的形容詞,放在SECURITY這個字前面的經驗值,充其量當必須使用這個英語字的時候,我會用在「安全感」(SENSE OF SECURITY)、或者「警衛」(SECURITY GUARD)等之上。

 

 

漸漸的,透過這些文獻的內容,我開始體會、了解我們自己可以化身為像是自己內心世界的守門員般,而我們內心世界之所以安和或者動盪,來自於我們是否能真正欣賞自己,並且以這樣的欣賞的角度產生無堅不摧的自信,從而以平靜舒緩的方式,待人接物,近而,真正「寵愛自己」,讓個體在身、心、靈等種種方方面面,達到內在平和。

 

 

擁有這種內在平和的人能溫和適切地欣賞他人,不以激怒他人的語彙與他人交流,因為這樣的人知道如何透過愛惜他人而愛惜自己,更加知曉愛惜自己就是愛惜他人的真諦。

 

 

所以,真正的「寵愛自己」並不是與購買例如衣服、香水、交通工具等等高檔華麗的物品、更非必須與極盡奢華的種種享受畫上等號才能真正「寵愛自己」,相反地,這種「更加深遠的寵愛自己」的方式偏向無影無蹤,猶如轉化內心的深遠張力所耗時費力的事實一般,就像是必須憑藉著感覺而生、但又不是那麼輕易可以一筆帶過……

 

 

也就是,這裡的「寵愛自己」它是關於在任何時候,我們都能擁有那種無限廣大的內在平靜,這種內在的平靜不但是種平靜,也是一種完全的釋放,一種毫無疆界、卻又不傷天害理的自由平和;擁有這種自由平和,我們便不會藉由登上情緒大起大落般的雲霄飛車,突然感到悲傷、憤怒或者任何極端的情緒,而首先戕害自己的身、心、靈,造成「不寵愛自己」的狀態,尤有甚者,更加自我發酵我們內在的負面情緒,繼續用我們在情緒上如此起伏不定的雲霄飛車去衝撞他人的平和世界,再視我們所衝撞的對方內心世界的自由、平和程度,而取決於我們所造成的傷害有多深……

 

 

就這樣地,如果我們無法實實在在擁有那份內心世界中的寧靜、掌握真實寵愛自我的法門,我們便持續吸引更多負面張力之人、事、物進入我們的生命……身在其中的人們並不希望如此「演出」,然而他們卻「被迫」必須如此演出,由於這一開始的「寵愛自己」所運用的角度,或者和上述所描寫的、有些形而上以及目光似乎無法直接探得的「真正深度寵愛自己」,有極大的不同。

 

 

反之,當我們真的了解「如何寵愛自己」的「精髓」,我們便逐漸學會真正享受當下,以及「有效和妥善地處理」那些不斷進入眼簾的、不論它們以何種形式出現的、我們每天生活場景中都必須面對面處理的不同人、事、物等等。

 

 

當我咀嚼完這些原文論述,闔上一本又一本書本,並且可以將不同人士的書寫文字匯整為足以具有統籌概念的個人觀點後,我所想提的問題,便為是否尚未掌握這種「更加深遠的寵愛自己」的方式其中精要,就是許許多多人在放完假後、出國放鬆後,卻更加疲倦、說他們心累的主因?

 

 

於此同時,我也發現當這些知識成為我的一部份後,自己便從而可以將我身邊的許許多多人物具象化:

最令我感動的,自然是那些從頭到尾展現出完完全全的內在平和的人,他們自己了解如何訴說充滿關愛的肢體語言、如何以開懷與和睦,溫暖那一個又一個被束縛的性靈,因此無論這些擁有內在平和的人不論與我在何處、以何種方法相迎及互動,他們向我們展示出的無疑就是一種我們都極為欽佩的,外柔內剛、與吐剛茹柔。

 

 

令人慶幸不已的,是多年以來,那些選擇與我一同前往世界各地透過服務的視角而旅行的人、又或者不斷默默在我身邊支持著我的無償服務工作的人群之中,許多人具有這種內在的安全感,而這種安全感當我近程觀察時,會發現只有當一個人越來越深入地將自己與他人可以透過任何方式無傷大雅、君子之交淡如水地連結與互動時,才會被反覆而正向地不斷擴展,像蝴蝶效應般使彼此都成為具有,「掌握如何具體寵愛自己」的內在力量的人。

 

 

這些對於世間的理解和解讀與實作,就是為什麼我愈來愈不覺得需要正式邀請任何人、任何群體,一同參與任何我們的海外公益之旅程,或者特別強調哪些人群最需要幫助,不論初始的我到底是從像社區、學校這樣以群體為主的落後國家中的偏遠地區單位開始協助起,並在世界上相對弱勢的人群所居住的、沒有戰爭發生的地區,進行某種雷同社區改造的心靈工程。

 

 

這些大多樂天知命,即始沒有太多物質享樂卻在某種程度上,比之我們這些富庶發展之地所出者更加嫻熟於「寵愛自我真諦」的人們,讓我看到生命裡面極為深刻的課題,例如知足惜福、惜福感恩等等,所以,慢慢地,當我所服務的人群與物種愈多,一直到我發現許許多多在先進發展之物質生活條件極佳的人,也有需要幫協助的心理層面種種事宜時,我便開始學會更多關於耐心和等待的課題,就像是我必須等待我身邊的人、我所認識的、甚至那些我所不認識的人,意識到以帶有志願的精神、利他主義、以及真誠以待的方式「實踐」旅遊,與「真實寵愛自己」之間的關係,是多麼巨大,這是由於我一天又一天,都愈來愈理解,真正的溝通始於那種人們以真情真性互相交流的實實在在的觸感,這種觸感直接、間接讓我們得以探究自己在內心是否感到一切都「很安全」,因此當我們透過這種以公益為核心的方式而接觸陌生他人時,那種來自我們內在世界的深度安全感,可以將任何人彼此相連,即使沒有任何言語可以描述這樣抽象而又實際的事實。

 

 

誠然,我們的內心深處,就是許許多多度問題答案的所在,我們也對於應該採取的行動,心知肚明,只是人生在世,知易行難罷了。

 

 

對我而言,在我的生命歷程裡面,應該並非企圖要求他人改變、甚至指正他人應當如何如何,而是平平凡凡地作為一個人,同時了解每個人的潛力無限、可以開發的利他之心自然無窮無盡,至此,在我與他人互動時,便自自然然地發現那些深知如何寵愛自己人們,如何使他們周圍的人眼見為憑地看到,人心人性可以正向轉變,以及這股正向轉變的力量,會如何趨始更多人們想具體轉變他們自己。

 

 

再次地,這些「實質寵愛自我」的轉變僅限於靈魂層面:它們與物化世界甚遠,甚至無法被言語化——

「實質寵愛自我」的轉變要透過我們所有的感官而感受、覺知、品味、體會,直到所有這些感官因為我們已經進入某種更為深入的另一個層次,而似乎不甚重要、毋須存在般,反倒透過我們在心智中的每一個層面所感受到的徹底安全感,從而放下自我所帶來的枷鎖,而換取豐富多彩的內在安適。

 

 

對於那些一向以來與我一同處理以下AH項目所記實的事情,擁有極大內在平和、或在追求這樣的平和的路上的人,我必須在此表達無限的敬佩及感激:

 

 

以下是側重2026年、並自2026年回推,我們一向處理著的、義務式的關懷人間的議題:

 

 

A
一次前往某個東南亞國家的溫暖人心之旅

 

 

B
另外兩次前往東南亞其他目的地的啟發性旅程,以及包括貧、富等等各種對比的實際考察

 

 

C
完成一項將所有志願者的才能結合起來的計畫,並試行一次在2026年秋季前往蘇州的服務探索旅程,我們將應邀拜訪蘇州並觀察我們以服務及公益的角度而言,可以做些什麼

 

 

D
決定我們這個志願團體的英文名稱,在Knight Club之後,為Light Up Laughter,縮寫為LULlol,線上符號表示「快樂」,而我們的中文名稱,作為Light Up Laughter的對應,為「會心一笑」

 

 

E
有史以來的頭一遭,在我於世界偏遠地區的服務計畫中,將有一個由老、中、青三代組成的家庭成員,計畫於今(2026)年七月前往非洲進行公益服務之旅,因為該家族在他們女性大家長的帶領之下,認同透過服務有需要者所開展的視野與價值

 

 

F
到目前為止我們的服務歷程中,在例如像是東非等地的更多社區、學校與家庭,正由那些良善而個人的捐助者所採行的服務、公益行程,以及為善不欲人知者的種種協助,使得社會經濟條件相對富庶的人群,與其他社會經濟地位、膚色不等的人群,產生更多互動

 

 

G
無數的團體與個人,曾在世界邊陲地帶從我們所提供的友善借貸計畫中借款,但迄今未能償還所欠的債務;在此同時,這些以個人或者團體借款的人群則表示,由於我們友善借貸款項中的實質力量,使他們得以進行不同的生意、或者開發不同的可能,而使他們的生活變得更好、家庭成員有三餐可吃、並受到啟發而產生轉變

 

 

H(希望)
截至今日引領相關計畫的主要人物,自開始著手進行這些全球有所需求者、以提升人們生活水平的計畫以來,最感到不可思議的是即始不斷自掏腰包,源頭活水卻總使她不致阮囊羞澀或者意志薄弱,助益諸多地點之部份經費則來自希望保持低調的捐助者,此外,與她一同造訪這些地區的人們,也透過支付略多於他們在當地所需花費的金額來作出對於貧民百姓的可能貢獻。

她從未公開舉辦任何募款活動,因為她相信每個人都可以在任何地方行善,而這樣的行善和是否「得到寵愛自我的精髓」,深核相關助益他者並非金錢方面單一考量之事,而是一個誠意正心盡力而為的心態,就像她以溫和敬畏著、愛惜著這個世界,而這個世界也以種種方式正面回應於她、給予她無限的溫暖力道。

 

Looking at many students of mine who are with low self-esteem, talking with only limited volume when they face a group of people or stating they are this and that part not good enough, and so on, I would feel intrigued about how humanity grow into individuals with much self-esteem, or not at all. Digging into such literature, recently I read in books that psychologists have analyzed “SECURITY” as an inner-world status in which those who can truly appreciate themselves can be able to do things with much confidence; furthermore, they can appreciate the others as they know how to love themselves. Here, to love ourselves is not in the regard of purchasing fancy items such as clothes, perfume, vehicles and so on. Rather, it is about at all times, we have that inner peace so we do not harm ourselves by getting onto the emotional roller-coaster rides feeling all of a sudden sorrows and/or rages, we learn to enjoy different things coming into our lives no matter in which forms they are, and so on. After closing the books, I can visualize those whom I have met, those who have that inner security demonstrated all the way through, that they themselves speak the languages of love, care, and warmth so that wherever they are, they show us the gentle tenacity in them which we all admire.

 

 

It is then, my pleasure to announce that through the years, many of those who have chosen to travel with me to those various places of the world have this kind of inner security, which is only to be expanded repetitively when one goes deeper and deeper into connecting one’s self with the others, who, in return, can also become human beings with the inner strengths. This is why I do not feel like asking anyone to join with me for any overseas journeys of mine stressing the importance of helping the most needed from the units of places like a community and/or school in a more disadvantaged regions of the world, be there no war affairs going on. By and by, the more people and species I have served, I have learned even more about waiting patiently.

 

 

Patiently, I wait when people around me, or even those who do not know me, realize how important it is to practice TOURISM with some touches of voluntarism, altruism, and truthfulness. I have learned that true communications begin from that humanely touch expressing we feel secured inside, so when we reach out to the others, that equal sense of security from our inner world connects me with the others without even words that can describe.

 

 

I must express my gratitude to those who have the psychological security to handle all the following things with me and much, much beyond, and while our English new title is born, I have come up with an idea of our new Mandarin Chinese name, too: tenderly, those words mean, literally speaking, to “laugh because the heart knows.”

 

 

Certainly our hearts always know where the answer lie, what the actions should be. To me, it is never about to make anyone changed persons, for it is always about when people see the power of positive transformations regarding those around them, they, too, would like to transform themselves. Again, these transformations are limited only to the soul level: they cannot be materialized, or even verbalized—they are to be felt, sensed, touched, tasted, and savored, with all our senses, to the point when all of such senses do not exist anymore, go to another level, bringing s much, much comfort inside due to our security felt at every level in our mindset.   

 

 

Following are issues we’ve voluntarily handled through the years, with certain focuses on this year, 2026, in particular.

 

A  

One Heartwarming Journey to One Southeast Asian Nation 

 

 

 

B  

Two Other Inspirational Trips to Other Destinations in Southeast Asia where the contrasts between every single element surfaced 

 

 

 

C  

Finalizing a Current Plan of Combining All Voluntary Talents for a Trial Journey to Suzhou Where We Shall Visit and Observe What We Can Do in Autumn 2026

 

 

 

D  

Deciding Our English Name for This Voluntary Group, after Knight Club, to be Light Up Laughter, abbreviated as LUL or lol, on-line symbols signifying BEING HAPPY, and our Mandarin Chinese name, the counter part of Light Up Laughter, being 會心一笑

 

 

 

E  

The first time ever, in my projects at those remote regions of the world, with a Family Consisting of the Young, Middle-aged, and Aged Having Decided to Go for A Trip to Kenya July, 2026, as the female patriarch identifies values of horizons opened through serving the needed  

 

 

 

F  

So far, more communities, schools, and families in places such as east Africa being assisted by those kind, private donors, people from more affluent backgrounds wishing to spend money on a service journey

 

 

 

Countless groups and individuals having borrowed money from the Friendly Loan schemes delivered by us in those remote regions of the world but failed to pay back the debt owed through the years; at the same time, these people borrowing money voicing their lives better, inspired, and transformed due to such Friendly Loan schemes

 

 

 

H(ope)   

Up to this day of April 2026, the person leading these projects has spent considerable amount of her income for doing good to the others since she began these projects helping the needed globally to increase the people's living standards; certain amount would be contributed from donors who wish to remain confidential. In addition, people visiting these places also contribute by paying a bit more than what they need to spend there in the regions. She has never openly conducting any fundraising events because she believes everyone can do good anywhere; it is not a matter of money but that true heart which matters, like her falling in love with this world as the world loves her back.
