On January XNUMX, XNUMX, I came to Chile for the first time, which is known as the most beautiful country in Latin America. Fortunately, thanks to the offline translation of Google, I, who did not understand Spanish at all, sometimes mixed a little Even with poor English, he was able to solve all kinds of problems that he had to face without any risk, and successfully entered the country of Chile.The first stop was Santiago, the capital, for a week, to apply for some immigration-related matters, and then went to La Serena, a small city closer to the main target, for two days. These two cities seem to be It is not much different from other developed countries. It is also full of high-rise buildings and a lot of traffic, but after two days, when you come to Pisco Elqui Valley, you can fully feel the unique valley style of Chile. This is my choice. The main place to try to come from far away from home, because this is one of the areas with the strongest magnetic field on earth at present, I believe that all aspects of the environment here can really help me to improve my practice at this stage, and I have not come to Chile until today. However, it has only been half a month, and my heart is already full of feelings that I want to share with you.

During this half-month period, I have visited three different areas in total; Santiago, the capital in the Midwest, La Serena in the North Central, and several small towns near the Pisco Valley, Along the way, I have made more than XNUMX Chilean friends, and they can communicate with each other through the Whatsapp communication software, which also shows that Chileans are relatively friendly and enthusiastic.In addition, I also liked a house, which has also been reserved. The land area is XNUMX square meters, about XNUMX square meters, and the house is XNUMX square meters. This is located in the valley with the strongest magnetic field. In a quiet town, it is a very suitable place for retreat. In the future, if there is a Dharma protector who is willing to work together to achieve blessings and wisdom, they can also buy a place of more than XNUMX square meters as a sangha. To achieve more people's practice, if the karma is not sufficient, it can only be used to achieve the function of personal retreat.After the house that I have purchased is tidy up, it is expected that it will only receive occasional visits from fellow participants and friends. It is not suitable as a place for public groups to practice together. However, I plan to do retreat and practice by myself, so I can do it on Sundays I took some time to teach the locals to learn Chinese and meditate for free, so that I could also take the opportunity to practice more Spanish, and at the same time, I could also introduce the Chilean people to Dharma.

As for the reasons for promoting Buddhism in Chile in the future, based on my preliminary observations in the past two weeks, Chile is basically a country where Buddhism has not yet taken root. Most people believe in Catholicism and Christianity, and they are quite unfamiliar with Buddhism. , but because Chileans are more enthusiastic and open in temperament, as long as we have the opportunity to get along for a long time, we can naturally influence each other. Among the Chileans I have met recently, there are many people who have quite a bit of the Buddhist thought I represent. I have a strong interest. As long as I can put aside the high status of religious teachers and various barriers in appearance, and communicate purely from the standpoint and practice of friends, I believe that I can actually achieve the function of propagating the Dharma and benefiting students, and I don’t have to worry about calculating too much. He has saved several nominal disciples and established several more Buddhist monasteries. When the karma matures, if they can also come to the monastery to get close to the monks in the future, they will naturally have the opportunity to further study Buddhism at a higher level. The three-study teaching method.

The characteristics and charm of the Chilean valley can only be fully understood by experiencing it first-hand. The recent weather, especially affected by forest fires, is the hottest time in history. Standing under the scorching sun in the middle of the day, if you don’t put on any sunscreen , it will be almost smoke in less than half an hour. It is really scary, but I have made comprehensive preparations. As long as I go out, I must do sunscreen on my face, especially when I go out for observation every day. I do it every day, so it’s safe and sound so far, but I didn’t expect that it was only in the past few days that I discovered that there was no sunscreen on my hands and back and shoulders. The strange thing is that in the past two weeks, except for a little hot smell in San Diego, the capital, other times around the valley are in a state of physical and mental comfort and relaxation, especially in the house, as long as it is Staying in an ordinary house, you will not feel the slightest heat, and some are just cool and comfortable with the cool breeze blowing. In the early morning and sunset, you can walk alone in a sparsely populated valley surrounded by high, strong and majestic valleys. , It is even more unique. At this moment, the elegant and refined nature of the outsiders seems to be fully displayed.In this area, the battery usage that you use with you will disappear in multiples of the consumption, and it will need to be recharged soon. This should also be affected by the strong magnetic field of the environment. All in all, staying here seems to be only suitable for one One thing, that is practice; self-cultivation and self-cultivation, one with the energy of nature.

The people of Chile are relatively friendly and warm. No matter when or where, as long as you see someone, XNUMX% of them will say hello to you and say Hola (hello), and I naturally follow the customs when I enter the country. It is much more generous. I have never felt this kind of atmosphere in any country I have been to before. This should also be due to the blessing of the magnetic field of nature, but after further contact and understanding of the side, I found that especially in the metropolis As long as people in life are busy chasing the enjoyment of the five desires or are caused by the karma of life pressure, the three poisons and afflictions in human nature are still just around the corner. The Chilean who talked closely told me that many of the questions I answered to him were answers that he could not get in the process of his belief, which made him feel very useful and admired. Having the opportunity to communicate, I really can't bear to share some more Dharma for them, so as to help them avoid some misunderstandings and walk back towards the light before they are about to be continuously involved in the prison of the five desires and cannot extricate themselves.In this material space where the five desires are flowing, the world will eventually be destroyed, but in the process, I hope that more people can be liberated and sublimated, and can be detached from it to a higher dimensional space. It is worthwhile to come here to suffer in reincarnation. This is the single most important meaning of staying in this world as a practitioner.
