Oscar Wilde wrote that “living is the least common thing in the world. Most people just exist.” 奥斯卡-王尔德说过："生活是世界上最罕见的事情。大多数人只是存在着，仅此而已。" Our defenses, our masks, our patterns obscure，our enjoyment, our peace.我们的防御、面具和模式遮蔽了我们的愉悦和平静。 But we are all called to be artists of our own lives.但我们都受到召唤成为自己生活的艺术家。 We possess a magnificent potential that we often ignore.我们拥有巨大的潜能，却常常忽略了这一点。 We are asleep to our true selves.我们在真实的自我面前昏睡。 We remain confined within the narrow boundaries of the known,我们局限在已知的狭小范围内， strangers to ourselves,与自己形同陌路， living only a tiny part of who we are,只是活出了一小部分的自己， without having traveled to our peaks and our abysses,没有去到过自己的顶峰和深渊。 we are alienated from full contact with others and with the totality of life.我们与他人，与生命的整体隔绝。 How limited is achieving external success,外在的成功是多么的有限， if we lack inner peace，如果我们缺乏内心的平静， if we feel restless and empty，如果我们感到不安和空虚， if we do not know what the meaning of our existence，如果我们不知道自己存在的意义是什么， if we live harassed by our own worries and thoughts，如果我们被自己的烦恼和想法所困扰， if we are carried away by emotions and impulses，如果我们被情绪和冲动所淹没。 How limited is achieving external success, 外在的成功是多么的有限， if we do not know how to communicate well with those we love， 如果我们不知道如何与所爱的人进行良好的沟通， if we have been stagnant internally for a long time and feel meaningless，如果我们的内心长期停滞不前，感到毫无意义， if we try to go from excitement to excitement but we do not know the taste of true joy。 如果我们试图寻找一个又一个兴奋，却从未品尝过什么是真正的喜悦。 How limited is achieving external success外在的成功是多么的有限， if we are not our best friend， 如果我们不是自己最好的朋友， if we don’t feel at ease in our body, in our mind。如果我们的身体和心灵都感觉不自在。 Our challenges at work, in the family, in intimate relationships，我们在工作、家庭和亲密关系中遇到的挑战， are inviting us to grow, to expand, to heal, to know ourselves further.在邀请我们成长、扩展、疗愈，进一步认识自己。 I accompany people in this, what I see is the most exciting adventure, “to Know yourself."在我看来，"认识自己"是最令人兴奋的探险，我陪伴大家进行这样的探险。 A really fulfilling life is only possible when we heal deeply and we know who we are.只有当我们深入疗愈并了解自己是谁时，才有可能过上真正充实的生活。 I will be teaching in Wuxi in the beginning of August and in Beijing in the beginning of November.
