心灵呼唤 – 看北京心灵呼唤残废人艺术团演出有感

星期四的时候接到朋友J的电话, 说北京心灵呼唤残疾人艺术团来旧金山的演出,问我想不想去。她这么热心的帮助这次活动,我想想支持一下也不错,就买了票带爸妈去看演出。

演出是星期五晚上。整台节目都不错,尤其令人感动的是残疾人艺术团演员们身残志坚的精神和乐观向上的信念。我们和许许多多观众一样,不停地为他们鼓掌。用 我妈后来的话来说,手都拍麻了。直到主持人提醒我们很多的演员生活在无声的世界里,我们的掌声他们是听不见的。陪伴他们舞蹈的音乐声对他们来说也是一片寂 静。他们学习排练这些舞蹈花了一年半的时间,通过把手放在播放音乐的大音箱上感受振动来学习节奏,通过看舞蹈老师的手势来协调动作。对他们来说,短短的一 句问候都要用一个多月的时间才学会发音。。。现场的观众被深深的感动着,这时主持人要求把剧场的灯光都打开,让演员们可以看到观众对他们的回应,现场的观 众们都举起双手,向演员们伸出了大拇指,告诉他们,“你们太棒了!”

回家的路上,我们都有很多的感慨。妈妈说:“本来只是想支持一下,结果自己感受到很多心灵的感动。”我爸说:“我们要珍惜生命,多回归自身,做自己的功课。” 我非常感恩有这样一次机会可以和爸妈分享这些残疾人艺术团演员们带来的生命感悟。

感恩,我们能够得到健康的人身,是多么幸运的事情。古话说“暇满人身最难得”。 每天起床,想到自己还健康的活着,真的是很感恩很满足的事情了。若能常记起这一条,真是会天天生活在感恩的世界里。

平等。这些残疾人员演员们大声说出心里的愿望,他们并不祈求我们的同情。他们希望的是我们的平等对待。通过他们舞台上倾注着激情和汗水的演出,我深深感受 到生命的尊严和平等。灵魂,是完整的,与外貌,肢体,五官,成就无关。我们平时与人相处,太过执着外相,容易浮浅的对人定论和贴标签。而他们的演出,短短 的时间加深了我对存在的领悟和对生命的敬畏。

珍惜。任何事情都在变化。五感,五官,肢体,都有他们衰退变化的规律恶。世间无常,我们感叹他人的残疾时,谁也不能保证自己的一切功能就永远像现在这样健 康。生老病死是世间的必然规律。每一次见证生命的无常就是我们的福报。这些可爱的坚强的演员们,用不健全的身体反而更完整地诠释了生命。我忘了执着,忘了 成见,用像小爱丽丝那样充满惊叹的心态来观摩。我感觉自己的灵魂飞向他们,去触摸那生命的律动。他们在我眼里是带着使命的人。他们用灵魂之舞引来心灵的呼 唤-生命坚强,无限可能,走向内心就是走向光明。能够用健全的感官和身体来提升自己,才是真的珍惜生命。

成功。我们太习惯于这个社会带来的思维定势,成败论英雄。总是在汲汲营营,连生命都变成了一种商品,标价出售。人生不在于抓得一手好牌,也不在于赢得一场 牌局。而在于你能不能把抓到的这手牌打好。在我眼里,这些接受自己的身体的残障,在自己有限的生命中怒放的残疾演员们就是成功的。

回到家里,J 打来电话,问我们节目看得如何,谢谢我们支持。妈妈分享了她的感动。

我笑了:该表达感谢的是我们。

Youth Leadership Summit

 

Carry The Vision is partnering with Yes! for Schools to provide practical strategies to inspire young people to become Empowered Non-Violent Leaders in their community. YES! for Schools believes that Inherent in a stress-free mind are creative solutions to building a culture of peace and non-violence. When a young person takes responsibility to manage their stress in a healthy way, they discover the human values of commitment, compassion, and cooperation. Each young person is a potential leader. They can lead towards compassion, wisdom and fulfillment or they can lead towards violence. The summit will engage youth in experiential activities that re-awaken the values of commitment, responsibility, creativity and team work — qualities inherent in an Empowered Non-Violent Leader. The young people will also hear inspiring words from Dolores Huerta, co-founder of United Farm Workers and participate, with the adults, in a meaningful dialog that allows all to come away with a simple and profound commitment about how they can use the power of nonviolence to overcome violence with their friends, their families and their communities.
This program is geared toward high school age youth.
In order for the youth leaders to be prepared all youth should pre-register here.
The cost for students under the age of 21 is $10 and includes lunch.
