「無上正等正覺」無上正等正覺是指佛教修行上的最高覺悟、最高感受境界，此詞句可見於各佛經，如《金剛經》。 舍利佛聽佛說道而得「無上正等正覺」天龍八部有"人"捐其上衣供養佛

Chaplin's Little Tramp, an Everyman Trying to Gild Cage of Life, Enthralled World

By ALDEN WHITMAN

No motion picture actor so captured and enthralled the world as did Charles Spencer Chaplin, a London ragamuffin who became an immortal artist for his deft and effective humanization of man's tragicomic conflicts with fate.

這humanization 讓我想起WWS說 Dr Deming的統計教學:

;">這三課程是商業研究的統計方法，除了介紹各種統計方法本身之外，他更會結合它們究竟如何發展而成的故事。戴明博士有獨特方式、本領，將統計數學賦予人情味。
-List" href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Chans%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml"> I first met Dr. Deming the fall of 1972 at New York University's Graduate Business School. They were just completing the World Trade Center at the time and it towered above the classrooms at 100 Trinity Place. Deming had turned 72 at the time and was the only "old" person that I knew who didn't dwell on the past. "Management's job is the future." Deming focused on it. The course was on statistical methods for business research and was a combination of stories on how the methods were developed and the statistical methods themselves. Dr. Deming had a way of humanizing the mathematics of statistics.

讀到一則 會議主題演講者 聖吉---根據WWS 這Senge發音是"錯誤的" ge讀如台語之"雞/基(隆)"
Senge 引 Deming 博士給他的信說 盛行其道的MBO等主導產官學界的危害極大

AASHE2008 - Monday, November 10

His opposite number was Peter Senge, whose perspective is perhaps three steps bigger yet, whose point is not that we’re getting the wrong solutions but that we’re totally failing to ask the right questions. Immediately preceding dinner, his presentation drew linkages between industrial organization, lack of community in modern Western society, the stultifying effects of K-12 (really, K-6) education, and resource utilization as if the natural world were infinite. Perhaps his most striking story told of W. Edwards Deming telling the assembled state secretaries of education that the thrust towards standardized testing and “accountability” was designed in imitation of a management approach (management by objectives) which had proven itself a miserable failure. In a letter to Senge, Deming wrote that “our prevailing system of management has destroyed our people", and that the prevailing system of management started in grade one.

capstone, vaulting ambition

'2666'

By ROBERTO BOLAÑO

Reviewed by JONATHAN LETHEM
Roberto Bolaño’s posthumous novel is not only a capstone to his own vaulting ambition, but a landmark in what’s possible for the form in our increasingly, and terrifyingly, post-national world.

This lecture series will cover what Deming considered the capstone of his career: A System of Profound Knowledge. In this first lecture, I will outline its evolution from his work in Statistical Studies to the state of its development at his death in 1993. I will also continue with my development of it to date.

這講座三場要探討的主題為，戴明自認為生平的登峰造極思想總結：「Deming’s System of Profound Knowledge」。(8/19)
至於這是不是他的 vaulting ambition 應該不是或不能這樣說

這部1927年的德國默片 也是從 腦-手-心 和諧的觀點探討現代文明

安心立命　spiritual peace.

安身，得以容身。立命，精神安定。安身立命指有了容身之處，生活有著落，精神上有所寄託。水滸傳˙第二回：「那裡是用人去處，足可安身立命。」文明小史˙第三十七回：「你們正在青年，須要曉得安身立命的道理。」亦作「立命安身」。

The University of Chicago’s business school — one of the top-ranked schools in the country — has received a large naming gift from alumnus David Booth and renamed itself the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. The gift, announced this evening at an event on the Chicago campus, is worth $300 million, according to the school — representing the largest gift ever to a business school by an individual.

今天聽方聞教授夫婦談學思過程
師母提到故宮博物院第一次到美國大都會展覽
人山人海中有兩類人特別
一是老一輩的華人帶下一代到大都會 只看畫的印 知道這是"唐伯虎"的 就走
一是美國帶認養的中國嬰兒來吸收中華文化之精華
(原本我是要談 WWS夫婦的寵兒幼女---認養韓國小女
他們的博愛 讓10/18日午餐諸友自嘆不如的


方聞教授夫婦強調兒童文化/美育教育之重要
他們可能在北京清華大學教過三年 (似乎沒什麼成就 或許謙虛)
問 每天630-730 到校園打太極拳的 多是離休校工
他搞不清楚教授退休之後做什麼

據他說他的好友日本東京大學鈴木敬教授 退休之後到靜岡的溫泉防震基金成立的博物館當館長/義工
他勉勵學藝術史研究所的 多從事"導遊/導引"

中國藝術史才開始

不過藝術學科是通的 他在普林斯頓先教6年西洋中古藝術 (建築)

可惜中國兩千多家博物館的藏品都被職員"上鎖" ---或需靠錢或關係才看得到真品
