Wisdom That Transforms Lives Twenty-five centuries ago, a man who had once lived in royal luxury walked barefoot across the dusty plains of India, sharing insights that would forever change human history. The Buddha—“the Awakened One”—dedicated forty-nine years of his life to illuminating the path beyond suffering for all who would listen. This first volume presents 36 stories from the Buddha’s life and the lives of his disciples, each revealing the Buddha’s remarkable ability to meet people where they were and guide them toward realization. Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges. Throughout the collection, we see how the Buddha’s gentle yet powerful approach led others to profound insights, inspiring many to become his disciples and continue their sp

To Know the Real Drucker: Eight Articles Will Help You is a collection of eight articles by Peter Drucker: “The Unfashionable Kierkegaard” (1949) and its introduction (1992), “The New World-View” (1957), “From Analysis to Perception: The New World View” (1989), “Reflections of a Social Ecologist” (1992), “What Is a Functioning Society?” (1942), “From Rousseau to Hitler” (1942), “The Human Situation Today” (1957), and “Management as Social Function and Liberal Art” (1989). Readers can find the source of each articles in the table of contents and editor’s note per article. Of the eight articles, only the last one is from Drucker’s works on management. The other seven are from his books on society, politics, and economics. Although the world has hailed him as the “Father of Modern Management,” he considered himself a “social ecologist.” This book will play an indispensable role in explaining the reason for that and in further understanding the foundation of faith and worldview which Druck

隨想集續 一些踩踏在虛空中的足跡 願我們心無波瀾，澄澈如天空。願我們彼此護慰，以度過這暫時的黑暗。 在出版了《隨想集》（2013-2022 年）三年之後，現在又集結了別冊《隨想集續》（2023-2025 年），以與心靈相契的朋友在靈魂的暗夜中互通款曲。這三年中，時代丕變！我們被催逼著隨著時代的鼓聲急速前行！將去往何方？不可確知，無法掌控。回顧身後？我們所熟悉的世界已一去不返了。這不僅是當代、也是古今共通的情境。思及此，我又要吟誦英國詩人馬修‧阿諾德（Matthew Arnold, 1822-1888）的詩句了，當時他與新婚妻子漫步在英國多佛海邊，遙見對岸法國的熠熠燈火：（這是最後的一段）Ah, love, let us be trueTo one another! For the world, which seemsTo lie before us like a land of dreams,So various, so beautiful, so new,Hath really neither joy, nor love, nor light,Nor certitude, no peace, nor help for pain;And we are here as on a darkling plainSwept with confused alarms of struggle and flight,Where ignorant armies clash by night.馬修‧阿諾德所處的十九世紀，是一個變動劇烈的時代，工業革命的浪潮如海嘯般湧來，作為心靈與生活支柱的宗教信仰也受到人們的質疑，他身處其中，內心感到極度的惶惑不安 ―如此紛繁，如此美麗，如此新穎，其實沒有歡樂，沒有愛，沒有光，沒有明確，沒有和平，沒有對痛苦的救贖；詩人是先知吧？德國詩人海涅（Heinrich Heine, 1797-1856）早已警告世人：德意志的民族主義將為人類帶來大禍，果然。馬修‧阿諾德的惶惑不安也非無病呻吟，他謝世之後不到三十年，爆發了第一次世界大戰，他詩中描述的爭戰相殘不幸成真。現在，二十一世紀在驚濤駭浪中走過了四分之一，網路、人工智能、商業與消費主義……撒下漫天巨網，傳統價值與既有體制正在崩壞瓦解，我們心中的惶惑不安較諸十九世紀的先賢們更為猛烈。我的讀者朋友們―願我們心無波
