4-2-2011 The Red Cliff 赤壁

While having reunion dinner, I watch the above movie.
See how Kong Ming (孔明) and Zhou Yu (周瑜) use their Wisdom to fight the huge army of Cao Cao (曹操). A 30,000 strong army against a 100,000 strong one. 


The Red
Cliff (wall) is actually a burning Wall of Fire. Combustion material being the sea vessels transporting Cao Cao's huge army.



Knowing that Cao's army are Northerners not well verse with the sea, and Cao link his vessels all by heavy chains, setting fire to one vessel created a chain reaction like the game Collapse. One down all down!


Knowing Self Knowing Foe, Hundred Battles Hundred Victories!知自知彼, 百战百胜!


HAHA! i am not advocating you readers to go devise methods to fight and do mass killings. Just see how one with a calm clear mind and observant of one's surrounding can solve one's problem. 


Observation is actually gathering or inputing data into your Brain/hard disk for analysis and future usages, do you agree?


Buddha teaches us ways to find that Wisdom within. GM elaborated the methods frequently as well. 


Let us all go find Wisdom within and do not get distracted by what is Outside.
