Our house has quite the number of mosquitoes that come out in the evening. My friends and I kept getting bit, so we brainstormed how to remove them from the house in a way that would not harm them. After we saw mosquitoes fly out of our pot of steamed corn we left on the table, we realized that mosquitoes liked the taste of steamed corn, which we ate for lunch every day. Afterwards, we put our finished corn cobs into a deep bowl for the mosquitoes and placed this bowl on a chair by the door. Several times in the evening, I would quickly cap the bowl with a…

The good deeds Heng Sure did, I appreciate. My son is 9 and a half year old, he likes to listen Heng Sure’s talk, he listened to “three steps, one bow” many times, recently he listens to Heng Sure’s reading Sixth Patriarch again and again, Whatever Heng Sure’s talk he likes to listen.

I fell off my bike. I cut my arms and hands and hip. I was a mess of blood and gravel. One kind person poured water on my wounds, another helped me to get home. I was humbled and inspired by their heartfelt generosity of spirit. At the local hospital I was patient, grateful and of good humour due to these two saints. When I sat by a tired mum with an injured child, I passed on the kindness by listening and caring and being attentive. Passing on the blessing.

I joined the 3000 Buddhs repentance at Gold Summit Sagely Monastery this Saturday. At the beginning of the 5th incense, dharma masters led the chanting with such a compassionate and beautiful tune, that I felt like I was living the moment when Buddha was born and took his first steps at Lumbini. The tune also reminds me of the music made for a poem,《送别》, written by Shutong Li (DM Hong Yi ).

Amitabha, to whoever saw this post. I know this Good Karma Music from YouTube weekly Rev. Heng Sure lecture. I have extreme low esteem, mild depression in my daily life and anxiety in study.

I supposed that I am doing a good deed if I learn to…

Now and then, mom, who is 95, has to be rushed to the emergency room. Before I was just overwhelmed by her and people’s suffering there. Now, I recite Guan Yin’s, Amitabha’s names, the “Oh, Tell me your Trouble” song, and some verses of the Song of Awakening wishing some relief to them.

A friend, also someone I admired, started an immersive indigenous language school in Hualian, Taiwan a few years ago hoping to save the endangered language and culture. Started from nothing, the school were able to build a classroom last year. This year, they are raising money to publish all-indigenous language text books. Many friends around me are very well off. I thought if I can get some of them to help, it will be a big boast for the schools’ funding. I set out to write a Facebook post. Thought it would only took 5 minutes to write, turns out it took me over an hour to get the post…

On a Saturday afternoon, my phone rang. It’s a call from my senior neighbor. “Hi, I want to use my camera to take pictures, but somehow it takes multiple pictures, maybe my setting is wrong. Do you know how to fix it?” Not able to see the camera, it’s difficult to understand the problem and fix the issue. I said: “Let me come over to take a look”. “But we’ll be leaving in 15 minutes”, “I’ll be there in 5 minutes” I said. I went to the neighbor’s house. He is on his wheel chair holding his Olympus E-M1 camera. “Some how it takes multiple pictures with different exposures”. Camera’s…
