What if the quest for eternal life is not about living forever but about prioritizing the things that truly matter? Join us for a reflection on the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, year B, as we explore the compelling call to put God's kingdom above material wealth. Inspired by the spiritual insights from the Book of Wisdom, Hebrews, and the Gospel of Mark, we delve into Jesus's radical challenge to a wealthy young man, urging him—and us—to rethink our attachments to worldly possessions. As we unfold this message, we draw parallels with historical figures like Alexander the Great and Emperor Qin, who sought immortality, and consider modern efforts like cryogenics that attempt to extend life. This episode invites listeners to ponder their own spiritual journey and the divine wisdom that leads to a life beyond material constraints.Amidst this thoughtful exploration, we embrace a moment of prayer and gratitude, celebrating God's immeasurable love and seeking forgiveness for our flaws. Emphasizing the importance of living in God's peace and seeking His guidance, we express heartfelt thanks to you, our audience, for your ongoing support and engagement. Let us come together in faith, share this transformative message, and grow our community. We extend our warmest wishes for a peaceful celebration of the 28th Sunday in Ordinary Time, closing with a reverent invocation in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

主播：Anne（中国）+Selah（美国）歌曲：Go Again有段时间网上特别流行把秦始皇（Emperor Qin Shi Huang orEmperor Qin）叫做“我迷人的老祖宗”（my charming ancestor），那么国外的课本是怎么介绍秦始皇的呢？西方人对秦始皇有怎样的印象？西方人如何评价秦始皇当时的一些治国政策呢？·charming/ˈtʃɑːrmɪŋ/ adj.令人着迷的，迷人的·ancestor/ˈænsestər/ n.祖先；祖宗01. 美国教科书是怎么介绍秦始皇的？主播Selah提到，关于秦始皇，美国的教科书里有几条central things（主要内容）：一是介绍了the warring states period（战国时期），the states were at war with each other（诸国交战）；还讲了the developments in the Qin Dynasty（秦朝时的发展）；最后强调一个史实，秦始皇是the first emperor to unify the country under one reign（历史上第一个统一全中国的皇帝）。·reign/reɪn/ n. 君主统治时期；任期总的来说，美国教科书肯定了秦始皇的成就（he'srecognized for his achievements）,不过也注意到了他统一国家过程中用的比较严苛的一些手段（the harsh ways of unifying the country）。Besides textbooks，大多数西方人对秦始皇印象最深的是he built the Great Wall (长城) and Terracotta Warriors (兵马俑)。·harsh /hɑːrʃ/ adj. 严厉的·terracotta /ˌterəˈkɑːtə/ n.赤陶；赤褐色02. 西方人是怎么评价秦始皇的治国政策的？以西方人的思维模式，他们是如何评价秦始皇时期的一些治国政策的呢？How the EmperorQin Shi Huang ruled the empire?Selah说秦始皇治国有three aspects（三个方面）对西方人来说是very fascinating（特别神奇的），我们来看看具体是哪些方面吧！（1） The Emperor Qin created a system ofstandardization 秦始皇建立了标准化系统Standardization (标准化) is the process of setting the same standard to everything (把一切都设立一个统一的标准).比如我们都知道“车同轨，书同文”。In just 15 years, the Qin government standardized weights and measures (度量衡), coinage (货币), written script (文字) and many others. ·standardize /ˈstændərdaɪz/ v.标准化；使符合标准（或规格）这些措施在那个时代大大提高了管理国家的效率，同种类的货币让贸易（trade）更便捷，文字的统一也让秦始皇的命令能够更好地上传下达（his orders could be understood by everyone）。西方人大多都attach great importance to standardization（非常重视标准化），他们看重order and process（秩序和流程），这也跟他们在文化上重视highproductivity（高生产力）以及high efficiency（高效率）是分不开的。·productivity /ˌprɑːdʌkˈtɪvəti/ n. 生产率西方从第一次工业革命（the First Industrial Revolution）开始，systems of standardization were put in place（系统化和标准化的思维就非常深入人心）。对于西方人来说，秦朝是一个建立良好且有效的系统（good systems were put in place）的时期。（2） The Emperor Qinbuilt acentralized country 秦始皇建立了大一统的国家秦始皇在中国历史上第一次创建了一个centralized government system（统一的中央集权制度）。He was able to make public projects (公共项目) more effective, such asthe building of the Great Wall (长城的修建). ·centralized/ˈsentrəlaɪzd/ adj. 集中的；中央集权的大多数西方人都知道长城，除了长城，其实在秦朝时就已经有高速公路（highways）了。They built highways called秦直道and it was used for nearly 2000 years (有两千多年的历史).秦直道的建造质量（the construction quality）在现在看来都是非常高的，当时甚至还有运输货物的铁路，是靠马在两边跑来拉动轨道上的“火车”（railways powered by horses）。·construction/kənˈstrʌkʃn/ n. 建设；建造这令Selah也感到impressive（印象深刻），还有外国网友认为正是the bureaucratic（官僚制度）的efficiency（高效），让大秦得以expand anddevelop（扩张发展），并且实现人口的增长（thegrowth in population）。·bureaucratic /ˌbjʊrəˈkrætɪk/ adj. 官僚的；官僚主义的所以在很多西方人的眼里，评价秦始皇很重要的一点就是他把曾经充满战乱与分割的国家（divided and chaotic country of warring states），变成了一个中央集权的大一统国家（a centralized country）。·chaotic /keɪˈɑːtɪk/ adj. 混乱的（3） The Emperor Qin introduced legalization 秦始皇引入了“法制化”秦始皇created a law code（建立了一套律法），也就是当时的秦律。虽然当时的法律可能有些严苛（overly harsh），在现代人看来有很多漏洞，但是这种governing the country with laws（用法律治国安邦的思想）的确是秦始皇开了先河（he paved the way）。It wasthe start of legalization!·legalization /ˌliːɡələˈzeɪʃn/ n.合法化·pave the way为……铺平道路西方人认为order and laws（秩序和法律）对于governing a modern society（现代社会的治理）非常helpful。的确，如何以法治国（how to use law and order to govern a society）对于每个国家来说都非常重要,非常值得去研究。Selah提到，连美国国父（American's founding fathers）都要参考秦朝或者中国类似的古代王朝的法规，可见秦始皇在西方世界的影响力。而且，在时代周刊（TIME magazine）评选的前25名（top 25）最有影响力的政治人物（most influential political icons）中，秦始皇就榜上有名（hewas on this list）。请留言告诉我们：你怎么看外国人对秦始皇的认识？你还想了解哪位中国古代人物在西方人眼中的印象？

Script: https://tcmpodcast.me/episode-21-the-great-wall-of-china/ The Great Wall stood as a wall of defense for many years, and It still stands today as a great wonder of the world. It is a man-made wonder, spanning thousands of kilometers. Much of it has stood for hundreds of years, with some portions over 2000 years old. Thousands of years ago at the present territory of China existed a region of separate states, ruled by their own leaders, its own languages, cultures and currencies, permanently in war condition toward each other and neighboring areas. Four states built fortification walls along the north of China around 700 BC. having aim to protect their territorial borders. They built side walls, circular walls and parallel walls, and in some areas, rivers or high mountains formed part of the wall. The original walls were built of gravel and earth, packed between wooden frames, designed for defense against swords and spears. In 221 BC, Qin Shi Huang (Chinese 秦始皇) defeated the separate states of China and united them in one empire. He became the first emperor of China and the founder of Qin Dynasty (Chinese 秦朝). The north was the only open area where China could be easily invaded. Emperor Qin's idea was to link the walls in the north to form a barrier from the invading Huns... Info: www.tcmpodcast.me

The absolutely fascinating account of Los Angeles where in the 1980s a bank was robbed every hour of every day, why it was ignored and later how it was ended; knowing that if nothing changes then nothing changes and why decisions are so important (especially when someone if afraid or stressed); a one verse summary of the life of Jesus; Tony Robbins on "Our biggest problem is we think we shouldn't have problems"; why Jesus rode a donkey; Lorainne Day on the will of God; Tim Lee on losing his legs and finding his faith in Vietnam; ending the fear of death; why Emperor Qin had 7000 terra cotta warriors built; understanding the history changing statement of "It is finished" and how it was used as an expression of freedom in the first century, and changes everything for you and me; and a favorite quote on building a world shaking faith.

The Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor, is located in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province of China. This mausoleum was constructed over 38 years, from 246 to 208 BC, and is situated underneath a 76-meter-tall tomb mound shaped like a truncated pyramid. The layout of the mausoleum is modeled on the Qin capital Xianyang, divided into inner and outer cities. The circumference of the inner city is 2.5 km (1.55 miles) and the outer is 6.3 km (3.9 miles). The tomb is located in the southwest of the inner city and faces east. The main tomb chamber housing the coffin and burial artifacts is the core of the architectural complex of the mausoleum.The tomb itself has not yet been excavated. Archaeological explorations currently concentrate on various sites of the extensive necropolis surrounding the tomb, including the Terracotta Army to the east of the tomb mound.[2] The Terracotta Army served as a garrison to the mausoleum and has yet to be completely excavated.Work on the mausoleum began soon after Emperor Qin ascended the throne in 246 BC when he was still aged 13, although its full-scale construction only started after he had conquered the six other major states and unified China in 221 BC. The source of the account of the construction of the mausoleum and its description came from Sima Qian in chapter six of his Records of the Grand Historian, which contains the biography of Qin Shi Huang.In the ninth month, the First Emperor was interred at Mount Li. When the First Emperor first came to the throne, the digging and preparation work began at Mount Li. Later, when he had unified his empire, 700,000 men were sent there from all over his empire. They dug through three layers of groundwater, and poured in bronze for the outer coffin. Palaces and scenic towers for a hundred officials were constructed, and the tomb was filled with rare artifacts and wonderful treasure. Craftsmen were ordered to make crossbows and arrows primed to shoot at anyone who enters the tomb. Mercury was used to simulate the hundred rivers, the Yangtze and Yellow River, and the great sea, and set to flow mechanically. Above were representation of the heavenly constellations, below, the features of the land. Candles were made from fat of "man-fish", which is calculated to burn and not extinguish for a long time. The Second Emperor said: "It would be inappropriate for the concubines of the late emperor who have no sons to be out free", ordered that they should accompany the dead, and a great many died. After the burial, it was suggested that it would be a serious breach if the craftsmen who constructed the mechanical devices and knew of its treasures were to divulge those secrets. Therefore, after the funeral ceremonies had completed and the treasures hidden away, the inner passageway was blocked, and the outer gate lowered, immediately trapping all the workers and craftsmen inside. None could escape. Trees and vegetations were then planted on the tomb mound such that it resembles a hill.— Sima Qian, Shiji, Chapter 6.Some scholars believe that the claim of having "dug through three layers of groundwater" to be figurative. It is also uncertain what the "man-fish" in the text refers to, interpretation of the term varies from whale to walrus and other aquatic animals such as giant salamander. Before the Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor was completed, a peasant rebellion broke out during the late Qin dynasty. Zhang Han redeployed all the 700,000-people building the mausoleum to suppress the rebellion, so the construction of the mausoleum ceased. After Xiang Yu entered Xianyang, he is said to have looted the tomb. Afterwards, it is said that a shepherd unintentionally burnt down the underground palace of the mausoleum. The story goes that he went into a cave of the mausoleum, dug by Xiang Yu, to look for his sheep with a torch in his hand, and a fire was started, burning away all the remaining tomb structures.

Would religion have a purpose if there was no human death? Is there a point when a perpetual Ground Hog Day would siphon one's sense of control over being & environment, hence eroding agency & purpose? CO-SHOW: Nerdy By Nature podcaster Elijah joined Safety Doc host David to explore similarities in societies that have spanned history books for thousands of years. The duo compared ancient practices to what happens today. As well, they speculated into what would happen with the introduction of artificial intelligence, singularity, & perpetual life. THOUGHT-PROVOKING IDEAS CHALLENGING CURRENT THOUGHT: Wages, Work Day Length, World War & Influence of Charismatic Leaders & Society Co-existing. Elijah notes Sweden's move toward a decreased work day & decreased school day, a model that could be emulated by other countries as automation thins available jobs. QIN DYNASTY. You might be aware of the discovery of the massive buried Terra Cotta Army in China. This army of more than 6,000 life-sized warriors and weapons was created per Qin's fear of being vulnerable in the after-life. Emperor Qin ran his dynasty with absolute control. Qin developed a spy system, so that all people kept an eye on each other. Spies were rewarded very well. Big brothers? THE TORUS. Thinking of the torus as a donut, most of our days and experiences are similar if we imagined such as traveling within the donut from a start point to return to that point. As the torus helps us manage being inundated with environmental cues, it equally makes us susceptible to convincing ourselves that abnormal events are normal. It was a reason why people in the Twin Towers didn't react much until 4 minutes following the impact of the first plane. TRANSFERENCE. How are high-stakes decisions made and what is the role of personal bias and discretion? How about “Positive Transference” throughout history & across cultures - in other words, cultures that had very high levels of subordinates being bound to the leader - possibly even to the obvious peril of the subordinates? This was obvious with Hitler and the thousands of young Germans that idolized him as a father figure. ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE. Skynet, HAL 9000, and iRobot are examples of movies exposing that AI can be used to benefit mankind, control it, or destroy it. Also, with emerging borderless economies such as Fiverr.com, a global online marketplace offering tasks & services beginning at $5 per job performed, how do we maintain “livable” wages when independent contractors are underselling existing wage floors? UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME. What is the impact of a UBI allowance for all citizens? It would liberate time - people could, in theory, work 10 hours a week. Or, it would be devastating to people who laminated their identity to their job titles as they wouldn't realize sense of agency and purpose through work. Robert Reich, Former Labor Secretary in USA under President Bill Clinton from 1993 to 1997. “Mark my words: A Universal Basic Income is coming, as artificial intelligence and robots eat away good jobs.” Will it be that Millennials more easily make a transition to a UBI society as they, in general, seem less laminated to job titles, possessions and status?

A miniature of all China's waterways in liquid mercury is said to be at the heart of the First Emperor's tomb.

BLOG RSS After the death of China's first emperor: Qin Shi Huang Di (or more famously known as Emperor Qin). His son Qin the 2nd inherited the throne and became Emperor Qin 2. Emperor Qin 2 was just a figurehead as Prime Minister Zhao Gao, a eunuch, was the real power behind the throne. Back in China, you had to be castrated to serve closely to the Emperor, as not to impregnate his concubines. Zhao Gao was an especially clever eunuch, and while he may not have any balls, he held a LOT of power in the political sphere.Prime Minister Zhao Gao wanted the Emperor's spot for his own, so he devised a plan to test out the loyalties of the other officials in the imperial court. He presented Emperor Qin 2 with a deer and said to him, "VOILA your highness, this is a horse!"The young Emperor Qin 2 was shocked and said, "But Prime Minister, this is clearly a deer."Prime Minister Zhao Gao stubbornly retorted, "Your highness, this is a horse! If you don't believe me, ask the other officials in the court."Several of the court officials followed in Zhao Gao's lead because they feared his power and wrath. They went along in deceiving the young Emperor bleating: "Yes! It's a horse, a fine horse!"Others took the honest route and defied Prime Minister Zhao Gao, and they were brought to their deaths. The officials who lied for Zhao Gao survived the test and even ended up with a pleasant promotion...moving up in ranks.Moral of the Idiom: Someone who points at a deer, but insists on saying it's a horse is deliberately lying. It's also used to refer to someone who distorts the truth/reality. ORIGINAL IDIOM: 指鹿为马秦始皇死后，宦官赵高把秦始皇的小儿子胡亥扶上王位，成为秦二世。赵高当了丞相，还想篡夺帝位。秦二世昏庸无道，对赵高言听计从。赵高一时权倾朝野。为了试探朝廷的大臣们，赵高想出一计。有一天，上朝时，赵高把一头鹿献给秦二世。他指着鹿说：“这是臣献给陛下的一匹马！秦二世很诧异： “丞相，这是一头鹿啊！“赵高固执的说：“不，这是一匹马！不信你可以问问众位大臣。”许多大臣畏惧赵高的权势，随声附和说：“对！对！是马，是匹好马！”只有几个正直的大臣说是一头鹿。事后，赵高把那几个说是鹿的大臣都杀害了，而那些附和他的大臣，一个个被提拔重用。
