At one time, there is a greedy rat who meet a witch. Disturbed by the act of a cat, he asked himself changed into a cat. Only the day be a cat, he was not satisfied, begging the witch let the dog because it changed so disturbed by the dog. A day later because the wolves hunted, he asked to change again wolves. One the next day because the wolf was chased by a tiger, he’ll be asked if by magic tiger. When a tiger, culminating greed, he would eat the witch so that his life is changing again. And angry witches, these rats became rat dikembalikanlah back.

If I may be honest, the fate of many similar human mouse. Greed makes human life chasing, chasing and chasing. Always thought the house was in front. When the elementary school junior high school thought delicious. When the junior high school suspected a beautiful high school. In college menghayal captivating world of work. After work and a lot of stress actually fantasize pensiunlah break. After retiring lose the respect of people, income decreases, the sickly.

So that raises the question, where the real home of peace? After being chased so many people, sought through a myriad of materials, dug-dug through a lot of sacred books, human beings still chasing, chasing and chasing.

Doggy mind, lion mind

In Western countries generally, many people like a dog. Not only as a guard dog, also a friend. Games are often done with the dog is throwing plastic painted to resemble bones containing meat. Wherever these fake meat thrown, that’s where a dog chasing him.

Similar to the dog chasing a fake meat, the lives of some humans also there to come running to pursue falsity. Money is not, not position, not a house, a car instead. Suddenly the old and sickly. In meditation, people like this going around in circles there was brought hither his mind. Add hard he tried, his thoughts turn more violent. This is called the doggy mind.

Unlike dogs, lions can easily distinguish a fake meat with real meat. Not only do not fly around, but he calmly looked at them without fear. That is why the lion is often used as symbols of enlightenment quiet calm does not frighten anything. Include not spook death.

The same thing happens with people who have long training trip. The master’s body is aging, sick time round when he was sick, when the time comes to die he also died. The difference is amazing, the master through it with perfect calmness. So many teachers asserted, the result of the exercise is a boundless capacity to suffer. The ability to suffer indefinitely. This is often called a lion mind.

Real home

Sharon Salzberg has collected the experiences of meditation teacher training trip has been long. From Joseph Goldstein, Jack Kornfield, Larry Rosenberg’s famous, Kamala Masters ordinary housewife, who has been practicing Bhante Gunaratana more than fifty years, until the teacher Ajahn Sumedo. In a beautiful work entitled Voices of insight, it became clear how people’s lives practicing different: quiet, peaceful, serene, free!

There are withdrawn by the meditation because I wanted to see the real self, because it knocked down the life there through the temptations and trials, there is also a holy life to meditate because it deepens. But whatever their background, still need patience and perseverance to always practice, practice and practice. The difference with the ordinary people who made a very busy by all the hubbub outside life (listening to radio, watch television, argue), aspirant aspirant of meditation, focus all its attention on the universe in itself.

Notice the reflection in the century Sufi mystic and wonderful thirteen named Jalaludin Rumi in one of the most of his work entitled The guest houses. Life is similar to the inn. Every day we see from time to time. Happiness, sadness, praise, scold. Learn to smile kindly at all. Even in the catastrophe, disaster, even death. Because it presents guidance guidance guidance guidance as well. Everything inscribe meaning.

Not imagine a beautiful and independent life style Jalaludin Rumi. As well as providing shade, this is a real peace house, home for all. For most people, a new smile was present when guests of life is happiness, praise. And denial, anger judgments even when the guest is easy to appear is sadness, pain, curse.

That’s why meditation practitioners who have walked very far, focusing only on one thing: the unbroken continuity of mindfulness. Whatever happens, all seen with the full awareness. As Rumi, a smile broke, had a debt smile, say good smile, smile called hypocrisy.

A grandson asked his grandmother when sorrow makes his belief in God so relaxed. Gently wise grandmother once patient is asked: in which the sacred books were written that God is only present in happiness? In Buddha’s sermons which stated that the suffering is just a decent garbage dumped?

Grandmother’s story is similar to the experience of the Sufi mystic Hazrat Khan Hinayat. Khan met one day Love is the Most Loving. With adoring fans are whisper: ‘You are sending calamity for the wicked, Thou who also gave a blessing to good people’. In this gentle smile dikulum Lover replied: ‘no, not again, inviting musibahnya own wicked, good people attract the blessing of its own.

Learning from the response of a beautiful lover who never met Khan, the house is really a place of peace where everything is accepted with a smile. All existing laws, as simple as touching the water, then wet, then touch the fire burning. When all bathed in smiles, and then guiding human consciousness meet beautiful peace garden enchanting. Not completely happy, but all smiles.

In this peaceful park, every man muttering quiet morning, there was a fresh 24-hour waiting to be filled with smiles, for smiles help us enter the day with gentleness, with understanding.

Read a feature about Suropati Park reminded me a few days ago never hang in one of these green areas in Jakarta. The atmosphere was very cool, could be a place to ‘escape’ from the hot air capital.

The shady trees and the design of its multi-benefits of making classy enough Suropati Park in Jakarta. Not inferior to Menteng Park located not far from there. Location Suropati Park was spelled out very strategic and can be reached easily.

However, in my opinion, there are several things that must be repaired so that visitors can be more at home in Park Suropati. First, regarding perkir. Parking of vehicles both two and four wheel looks irregular. Although it does not cause congestion, the situation has little eyesore.

Then, second, hawkers who roam the garden area. Their presence is needed (who does not want to hang out in the garden munching on snacks?), But they often do not maintain the cleanliness of the park. Well, it’s helpful if the merchants were given a special place that is not permanent.

Indeed, not only illegal traders are behaving like that is not environmentally friendly. The visitors also sometimes for littering. In fact, the size of 16 322 m2 garden has been given adequate trash. Yes, awareness of caring for park visitors to participate must be grown again.

Third, small rooms for visitors. This is actually between necessary and unnecessary, but it would be better if given a public toilet. Facility exists, only the passenger’s police post dipojokan park. Provision of public toilets are also to avoid any unscrupulous individual that pee-behind any trees or plants. Hihi!

Elements are often presented to sweeten the water park, pool or just either water plant. The presence of the gurgling water, shadow ripples of fish ponds and agile movement can create the illusion of cool and calm when we relax in the garden.

Unfortunately, often the selection of design and type of water element is not quite right or harmonious with the park. As a result, the beauty of the park to be less than optimal, and then emerged feeling lazy to maintain it. Elements of water then becomes dormant, dry, dirty or mossy. Though it is little cost to manufacture. Therefore, need careful consideration before choosing and making the water element in the garden of the house. Here are some examples of the water element commonly used in home gardens.

Relief Swimming

Swimming is “stuck” in the similar wall of natural stone wall. Generally made from chicken wire, rocks, and cement. Pool Design emphasis on wall reliefs with stroke texture-strokes that give the appearance of natural stone.

Maintenance for the pond is the simplest. Because the atmosphere is allowed to park a natural impression need not be too frequent cleaning. If there are ornamental fish must be observed with air and water circulation pumps. Swimming natural stone should be placed in areas exposed to sunlight.

If the land is relatively wide and contoured, this type of pool could be developed as a miniature river (creek). If created, such as rivers, should be considered a source of water and circulation. Since the flow far enough and water will quickly run out, so the natural water resources better. Swimming is usually invite people to play water, especially small children, so the safety factor must be considered. Pool base should be made not slippery. Therefore, its maintenance was a bit difficult because the need brushed regularly.

Square Pond

In modern and mediterranean garden, pool square usually serves as a reflecting pool and the focal point. The bottom brush is often decorated with coral stone, ceramic mosaic motifs, and even coins. Because it serves as a focal point, lighting inside the pool. If the mirror coated the inside of the pond, the pond will be memorable shower of light. Plants that are widely used are nuance desert succulent plants such as cycads (Cycas revoluta), palm short, siklok (aloe agave), yucca (Yucca Gloriosa), and cactus.

Maintenance and construction of this pool is relatively expensive. Periodically, must always be drained and cleaned so as not mossy. Granite and marble materials are also quite expensive. As an alternative you can use ceramic, andesite, or stone temple.
