其实既无所谓古代、现代，也无所谓西方、东方，我们的今天包含着全部的昨天，甚至那些被遗忘的事物。换名话说：今天实际上是全部昨天的结果，而今天的一切，又会被未来包含进去。反过来，当我们面对未来还没有发生的所有可能性的时候，其实未来也被今天包含着。就象此时此地，元代的古董、一百年前的椅子、去年生产的沙发、今年的新茶、刚刚烤上来的面包，它们只是生产时间不一样，还有“可能性”，它弥漫在空中，孕育着未来，第一样事物如此自然地相处着、变化着。所以，过去现在未来实际上是不可分割的整体，我们经过时只是进入了这个整体的局部而已。
　　It actually makes no difference whether it is ancient or modern, Western or eastern, our present includes all of our yesterdays, even those things that we have forgotten about: to put it another way, today is in fact the sum of all of our forward and enveloped in the future. Conversely, as we face the many possibilities of things to happen in the future, those possibilities too are enveloped in our present day. This moment and this place, Yuan dynasty antiques , a chair from one hundred years ago, a sofa produced just last year, this year`s freshest batch of tea, or bread just out of the oven, these things are only differentiated by the time of their production, they have their own possibilities which exist naturally, changing all the time. Therefore, the past, present and future form an indivisible whole and as we pass through, we are making an entrance upon its part and nothing more.
