今期我地一齊回憶下當年讀大學嘅校園生活，各自都喺美國讀過兩到三間學校，但係因為地段差異經歷都大不同，我地對比左喺農村學校同喺大城市學校嘅出行方式，仲有喺美國學校食飯有咩選擇，重點分享food pantry，一個大部分學校都有嘅比低收入人群領取食物嘅項目

Oggi vi parlerò di quattro concetti che mi hanno segnata:

➡️ Il non-attaccamento
➡️ Felicità o serenità?
➡️ I nostri pensieri creano la nostra realtà
➡️ La teoria dell’evoluzione influenza i nostri giorni

Li ho estrapolati dal libro “Profondo come il mare, leggero come il cielo”, un libro autobiografico, in cui Gianluca Gotto racconta di un suo momento davvero molto difficile della sua vita e che, grazie ai suoi incontri, alle sue esperienze e agli insegnamenti dei maestri buddhisti, è riuscito a calmare la sua sofferenza e a riprendere in mano la sua vita. 

Vi lascio per iscritto i principali argomenti e citazioni del libro:

Lesson 2 text 3

今日は「むさこ論争」について話しました。
「むさこ」は、日本の地名にある略語です。その地名とは、①武蔵小杉 ②武蔵小山 ③武蔵小金井、です。
さて、この三つの地名、どれも「むさこ」と略すことができます。
ではどの地域が「むさこ」なのでしょう。
他にも、山梨県と静岡県の「富士山論争」についても話しました。
地元に対する愛は持っていたいですが、愛が強すぎるのも考えものですね〜。
