1. Introduction In previous articles (see: Spiritual Nourishment Series: A Systematic Review of Buddhist Theory (Part 1): From Interest to Rational Understanding of Buddhism), we discussed the compatibility of Buddhism and science—although their paths differ, both use observation as a method and awareness as their ultimate goal. Science explores the laws of the world outward, while Buddhism…

1. Introduction I've loved singing since I was little. The first song I seriously learned, I remember, was "Green Apple Paradise" by the Little Tigers. To memorize the lyrics, I listened to it on the radio and wrote it down line by line in my notebook—much more self-disciplined than I was doing dictation at school. However, I've never…

1. My Starting Point: Why I Choose to Start with Buddhism? Human beings are inherently contradictory: they can be powerful enough to transform mountains and rivers, undertake massive construction projects, explore the heavens and the seas, even leaving footprints in space; yet they can also be fragile enough to fall into self-pity, depression, or even resentment due to insomnia, a word of blame, or a period of loneliness…

1. Introduction Since building my blog with WordPress, WordPress's inherent mechanism of allowing only one URL for access has been a source of much frustration for me. The reason is simple—when accessing the admin panel, I also have to use the domain name. And accessing the admin panel via domain name inevitably…

However, at the time, I just watched it for fun and didn't delve into the deeper reasons why counting cards can win. Recently, I had some free time and rewatched it. This time, I don't know...

For many people like me who love collecting movies and TV shows, Emby is practically the go-to home media center: its beautiful interface, clear categories, and rich features transform local content into a streaming experience in seconds. But when your collection expands to thousands or even tens of thousands of titles, you'll...

1 Preface: This week, I've suddenly been feeling lazy again, and I don't feel like thinking at all. But writing one article per week is a rule I've set for myself, and it feels like a waste of time to skip updates just because I'm lazy. So, I've decided to change my approach—since I don't feel like thinking anymore, I'll just write something that doesn't require much thought. So, I'll just write about my...

The charm of old songs goes beyond nostalgia. Most people born in the 1970s and 1980s likely agree: we always prefer listening to old songs to listening to newer releases. This has become almost a conventional wisdom, a tacit understanding shared by generations. Whenever those familiar melodies sound,...

1 Introduction: I usually use Obsidian (Markdown) to write blogs on macOS. Inserting images is unavoidable during writing, so an image hosting solution becomes an unavoidable issue. My blog's image hosting solution is hosted on Cloudflare...

1 前言 写下这些关于唱歌、声音、听觉与认知的文章，其实并不是一开始就有“音乐专题”的打算。更多时候，只是因为在练歌、听歌、研究相关理论时，反复遇到一些靠感觉解释不清的问题。 随着文章一点点积累，我才…
