Our 1998 Honda Oddysy, the wagon our kids grew up with, was advertised online. We called her Samudra Devi. It had some transmission issues. So we decided to advertise it for $700. Several people called. One person said he’s trying to collect money from family members to comeup with the $700. Then I said he’ll also need some extra money for fixing the tranmission. He said he’ll mage that too. We also found out they had two small kids. So we decided to surprise them as a gift to their family giving Samudra Devi for free! The day they came to pick up Samudra Devi, the two kids looked so…

I did large Graffiti on Chinese Wall online. FREE TIBET! 🙂 And I started practice Tai Chi for the sake of beings that need me. Love 🙂

I was walking through a crowd when I heard a bam! A couple boxes filled with water bottle had fallen off a hand truck. I went over to help pick up the boxes and luckily none of the water bottles spilled out. The person kept thanking me in Chinese, but I didn’t know how to respond in Chinese, just smiled and left. I hope to post this here so that he knows that his thanks was appreciated and I hope that the rest of the day went smoothly for him.

Hello! I am very new to Chan Buddhism and sincerely grateful to have found a very great place to practice in which I have felt welcomed at City of Dharma Realm monastery here in my hometown of Sacramento, CA. Upon educating myself with core Buddhist beliefs as well as the humble teachings of Venerable Master Hsuan Hua, I realized that they align with my own personal values that I have believed ever since I was a child. Lately the joy I have felt from Dharma has been immense. Also, realizing that for years, I have been adding to my own suffering and afflictions is changing my perspective on this life…

I started a network that connects out town for helping each other with emergencies large and small.

I am sorry. I have not done a good deed recently. I have been busy with work and life. I recited a few times Namo Amitabha just now. I hope this suffice.

I prepare breakfast for seniors each day. I dedicate the merits of my daily repentance practice to fellow practitioners, and I recite essential Bodhisattva precepts to strengthen and uphold my vows.

I attended a Da Bei Zhou retreat at SBF and managed to get seats in the front rows with chairs that had backrests. As the hall filled with more people, there were not enough chairs with backrests, and some seniors had to sit on stools. My friend and I offered to exchange our seats with them so they could be more comfortable. They were very appreciative and were able to participate in the retreat happily.
