How many of us just get carried along in the Tide that constituted our daily lives, without a say or much say to the direction and final destination?
I am a pretty lucky one though. :)
The Current Hot Topic?
SZ's wish to Relax and have time for leisure pursuits.
Sadly, Jin-mu said to SZ twice: Not Yet!
SZ said: 人在江湖，身不由己！ Means a person in society, his (Body) is not up to him to direct.
My ex deserted or abandon us in December 2005.
Immediate Aftershocks were scary!
前路茫茫问苍天！- Road ahead is vague and ask aid from Heaven.
Buddha to the rescue!
2006 - I started helping out at a local monastery's kitchen, preparing vegetables, washing them and also food containers and utensils......
An old lady who has been a volunteer in that kitchen brought me in to help and she sort of watch over me for a while too! As if I am her protege. :)
Though there are many groups form by various senior matriarchs, overall Harmony triumphs.
I started to "Infiltrate" into other groups too, and many of the "Queen-pins" of the various groups took me under their "protection"!
Hahaha! I mixed well!
By this time, I have helped the temple set up a retail outlet selling offerings like flowers, incense, fruits, cakes, and etc. This outlet flourished rapidly.
Then another outlet in the Dining hall selling festive items like Vegetarian Raw Fish Salad for Chinese New Year season, rice dumplings for Dragon Boat Festival, Moon cakes for Mid-autumn festival and so on.
Some of the reverends that were in charge of the outlets addressed me as "老板娘" (Boss Lady).
The worshipers and fellow volunteer called me "财神爷" (Fortune Deity).
One day, while sitting down and cutting vegetables, I spoke to Buddha from my heart.
I said that I like this type of serene atmosphere and doing volunteer work like this too!
Please help me "retire" from all the Daily struggles of human life.
YES! my wish is granted and 3 years later, I am an ordained nun!
It is not crazy to talk to Buddha at all!
SZ does that all the time too!
I have also advised all to Talk to SZ!
When you feel you don't understand whats going on and you want to understand and Make a Difference, talk to SZ please.
He is your One & Only Choice!
The recent missile from my ex was defused smoothly when I walk away quietly and also realized someone has to let things end!
For me, the End of the Road is just before I took refuge with the Triple Gems.
Life suddenly offers such great wonders daily!
I have lots of new friends too!
Like Buddha said: 天上天下唯我独尊 Above and below Heaven, I rein Supreme!
YES! The universe is my oyster, so to speak.
Realization came when each Missile hit!
The missiles actually hastened Realization!
Again the Diamond Sutra came in Useful each time too!
Neutralize or Void!
No Form!
All A Dream!
This second will become the Past in the next second! :)
You do have a Choice and please make it wisely!
Bear in mind SZ's teachings too!
The world can be your oyster too!
Cheers all
