In 2002, I went to Baolin Temple, Lantau Island, Hong Kong, and received ordination from the old monk. During Baolin ’s blessing, I will go down to Shenzhen because I have to get a visa every half a month. When the Buddha Educational Foundation got close to the monk, the monk was empty. At that time, I was facing various obstacles such as ordination and meditation, and told the monk about my situation. The old monk taught me that the solution was to practice Hengshun sentient beings in Puxian's Ten Wishes, with merit, this was actually completely useless to me at the time when I was ignorant and karma, but now I really understand that this is a panacea However, to achieve Hengshun, it is really necessary to have great wisdom and ingenuity, because beings have good and evil, how to follow evil and do evil with evil people when facing evil things. It's not what ordinary people can do.

In the letter, I mentioned that if the old monk was unwilling to accept students, then I would rather meditate ... wait because I said goodbye to the old monk, then I just wanted to get close to the master ’s delusional attachment and enthusiasm. It ’s hard for a strong man to do it, but in fact this kind of thing is not an old monk alone. He must also consider the attitude of the master. In fact, the old monk has always blessed me very much. It can be said that in all apprentices Or among the students around me, no one should rely so much on the old monk and get a lot of attention and blessings as I do. Remember that once during the Buddhist Education Association's listening to the sutra, I wrote a letter every day for seven consecutive days. The classmate waiter handed it over to the old monk, and the old monk wrote back to me the next day and wrote a dissertation with a red pen. On the seventh day, I was embarrassed to entrust another person to transfer it, and then sent it to the old monk himself. He gave me a light glance and said, "So many delusions." Then he took the letter from me and gave me a lecture the next day. I am deeply grateful for the blessings that the old monk has given me all the way. No matter what the future will be, now I have always been on the road, and I will meet in the realm of the Buddha sooner or later. Seeing things in the world.

During my stay in Baolin in 2002, I also received various blessings from the resident masters, so that I often had the opportunity to be close to the Holy One and not be hindered, especially the waiter of the Holy One. I accompany Master to the lotus pond outside the Guanyin Pavilion to enjoy the sun, and I often have the opportunity to accompany him to the side. This is a rare blessing for the female monks in the rigorous jungle monk group. Report. One time while chatting with the waiter, we naturally talked about the need to promote the reconciliation of the old monk and the holy one of my master. After all, they have nearly thirty years since the last fate of the last meeting in Baolin. It ’s been years, and the old monk often praised the great virtue of the Holy One in the teaching, so we both arranged the matter with great joy and joy, and got the immediate consent of the teachers on both sides. On the day of the appointment, the old monk ’s Dafa Law just returned to Hong Kong. After learning about this, he had opinions about our scheduled itinerary, so he temporarily cancelled the meeting. At that time, I did not understand the real reason, but felt that the matter was not completed. I feel ashamed of the teachers on both sides, and I can only blame myself for my lack of blessing and wisdom to make good things come to fruition, but now I think that the thoughts and actions at the time were both naive and lovely. That kind of thought really felt that things in the world were very simple. It seems that as long as you have the heart, you should be able to complete it, but the fact is not. When you see the interests of this world more clearly, you will know the usefulness of Suiyuan. Everything has its own will and its own cause. All without having to worry about everything, can not speak the heart.
