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.

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 ).
