The Bandari Project itself has become an extreme successful product for AVC on a worldwide level.Bandari stands for its own melodious, transparent style within a enormous number of meditation products. Every time you plunge into these impressive music,the stress of everyday's life will be cured.
In an age of increasing modernization and alienation marked by the threating,omnipresent shadow of civilization,the desire and need for inner peace and harmony becomes increasingly significant. Bandari's mystic sonorities convey a sense of peace and security.The spheric sounds colored by touches of exotic harmonies create an inner balance with the world and its many cultures.An hour of sensual meditation, a truly unique listening experience.

Source: Unknown -- extracted from a slideshow
（一）
花37秒钟就能看完这则故事
过后它将改变你对许多事物的看法
（二）
两位末期病患住在同一个病房里
其中之一每个下午获准在床上坐一个小时
以便将他肺里的脓水抽出来
他的病床靠近房里唯一的窗户
另一位只能一整天平躺在床上
（三）
两人就这样相隔着每天聊上几个小时
谈各自的老婆、家人、工作、服兵役时的差事
以及旅游过的地方
（四）
睡床靠窗的人每天下午必乘着能坐立的时段
向同房描述所见窗外的世界来打发时间
（五）
另一位病人的心灵世界在那段时间
由于知道外界的活动与色彩而变得宽广、活泼
（六）
窗口面向公园与一个美丽的湖泊
鸭子与天鹅在水中嬉戏
孩子们在玩着模型船
年轻的恋人手挽着手在艳丽的花丛里漫步
远处市区的天际看来真美
（七）
每当靠窗病人活龙活现地形容他所看到的事物
他的同伴就会闭上眼睛想像那些美好的景致
（八）
一个温热的下午，靠窗的描述经过的游行队伍
虽然他的同伴听不到乐队声
但朋友生动的描述使他犹如亲睹
时间就这样过去
（九）
一个清晨，早班的护士带来他们的洗澡水
才发觉靠窗病人的冰凉身体
他已经在睡梦中平和地辞世了
怀着伤感，她叫来医院的侍者将尸体移开
（十）
这事过了，在适当时候
剩下的那人请求移到靠窗的床位
护士欣然同意，替他换了床位后离开
让他自个留在房里
（十一）
慢慢的，忍着疼痛，他用一支手肘支撑起身体
第一次向窗外的世界探索
他竭力转头向床边的窗口望去
（十二）
窗外是一堵单调的墙
（十三）
他求教于护士，有什么原因可能迫使他逝去的同伴
为他描绘窗外美妙的世界
护士告诉他，他的同伴眼睛失明
甚至眼前这面墙也看不见
她说，“也许他只想给你鼓励。”
（十四）
后记：
无论自己遭遇如何，能带给别人快乐是无上的幸福
诉苦只能将痛苦减半，分享欢乐却能使快乐加倍
（十五）
如果你想感觉富有，只需记取你拥有的，那些金钱买不到的东西
今天是个礼物，这就是为何我们称它present
(英文"目前、现在"和"礼物”用的是同一个词Present)

昨天一位多年好友转发来一则英语信息，读后感触很深，当时马上贴在自己的博客，希望尽快和若比邻好友分享。现在做了翻译，跟原文摆在一块。
_________________________________________________________________________________________
我的朋友打开他太太放内衣的抽屉，取出一个用绸布包裹的盒子，说： | A friend of mine opened his wife's underwear drawer and picked up a silk paper wrapped package: 'This, - he said - isn't any ordinary package.' He unwrapped the box and stared at both the silk paper and the box. 'She got this the first time we went to New York , 8 or 9 years ago. She has never put it on, was saving it for a special occasion. Well, I guess this is it.' He got near the bed and placed the gift box next to the other clothing he was taking to the funeral house, his wife had just died. He turned to me and said: 'Never save something for a special occasion. Every day in your life is a special occasion'. I still think those words changed my life. Now I read more and clean less. I sit on the porch without worrying about anything. I spend more time with my family, and less at work. I understood that life should be a source of experience to be lived up to, not survived through. I no longer keep anything. I use crystal glasses every day... I'll wear new clothes to go to the supermarket, if I feel like it. I don't save my special perfume for special occasions ; I use it whenever I want to. The words 'Someday...' and 'One Day...' are fading away from my dictionary. If it's worth seeing, listening or doing, I want to see, listen or do it now. I don't know what my friend's wife would have done if she knew she wouldn't be there the next morning, this nobody can tell. I think she might have called her relatives and closest friends. She might call old friends to make peace over past quarrels. I'd like to think she would go out for Chinese, her favorite food. It's these small things that I would regret not doing, if I knew my time had come. I would regret it, because I would no longer see the friends I would meet, letters... that I wanted to write 'One of these days'. I would regret and feel sad, because I didn't say to my brother and sisters, son and daughters, not times enough at least, how much I love them. Now, I try not to delay, postpone or keep anything that could bring laughter and joy into our lives.. And, on each morning, I say to myself that this could be a special day.. Each day, each hour, each minute, is special. |
