Body


Only a tiny needle is required to mend clothes
Not a grand spear which can't serve the purpose

A small umbrella is enough to avoid the rain
No matter how immense the sky may be
Thus, striving for the bigger or better is superfluous

Do not take lightly what may seem small and insignificant
As everything is a priceless treasure
With its innate nature to serve its own purpose

O-MI-TOU-FO,

NAMO  BUDDHA,
NAMO  GUAN SHIN YIN, 观音菩萨;  觀音菩薩
NAMO DHARMA,
NAMO SANGHA,

MY RESPECT TO THE SANGHA AND OTHER DHARMA BROTHERS AND SISTERS:

MY BASIC APPROACH AND PRACTICE AS A  BUDDHIST FROM “ABHIDHARMA PITAKA”.

THANK YOU FOR ALL  INVITATIONS IN  2014 TEMPLE CEREMONIES TO PRACTICE VINAJA PITAKA IN A WAY OF  BUDDHA TEACHING !

I AM VERY MUCH INTERESTED FOR FOR ALL TEMPLE CEREMONIES, AS A CONTINUUM OF MY PREVIOUS GAINED PRACTICES, WHERE I LEARNED MORE PROPER WAYS OF CHINESE BUDDIST SCHOOLS THINKING, AND BETTER WAY OF EXPRESSIONS/COMMUNICATIONS REGARDING  WHATHAS BEEN OR APPEARS IN THIS SAHA WORLD.

THIS KNOWLEDGE BROUGHT ME MORE AWARENESS AND SKILLS OF THINKING/SPEAKING PROPER CHINESE ENGLISH WAY, THAT SUITES THE BEST ME AND MY KARMA/CONTINUUM OF MY MIND, AND CONFIRM SEVERAL STRONG BUDDHA MARKS FROM MY CHILDHOOD.

I STARTED, SEVERAL YEARS AGO, TO WRITE A BOOK “RIGHT BUDDHA MARKS IN MY CHILDHOOD”, SINCE I RECOGNIZED , LIVING HERE IN LOWER VANCOUVER MAINLAND, FOR 22 YEARS TOGETHER WITH CHINESE COMMUNITY, THAT  I HAVE VERY STRONG SIMILAR CULTURAL APECTS, AND THEN MY PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY KNOWLEDGE/STUDY MATCH THEM.


BY PRACTICING ABHIDHARMA PITAKA, I HAVE  PERSONALLY DEVELOPED / EXPERIENCED MANY DHARMA DOOR METHODS ,
BY CHECKING  THEM AND MY MIND INHERITANCE,
IN EIGHT CHINESE BUDDHIST SCHOOLS  LIBRARIES !!! :: (1. PUBLICLY PRACTICING “PURE LAND – PURE MIND” SCHOOL, AND SECOND MY PERSONAL STRONG AFFINITY HAS BEEN TO “MIND ONLY”-MADYAMIKA PHILOSOPHY”, IN CHINE DEVELOPED AS    “TIAN天  T’AI BUDDHIST PHILOSOPHY”


THIS PROCESS OF STUDY HAS BEEN CHECKING MY REINCARNATIONS OR CONTINUITY OF MY MIND…TO GAIN MORE AWARENESS/INSIGHT OF ORIGIN OF MY MIND…





I REMEMBER OUR FIRST TALK ABOUT YOUR PRACTICE, WHEN YOU OFFERED ME THE COURSE WITH MORE ASPECTS. AND NUNS/SANGHA PRACTICE,
THAT HAS BEEN DEFINED AS  “VINAYA PITAKA”,
AND I ANSWERED BY MENTIONED
MY BASIC APPROACH AND PRACTICE AS “ABHIDARMA PITAKA”.

I ALWAYS ENJOYED AND SHOW GREAT RESPECT TO SANGHA, ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN MAINTAINING MY APPROACH FROM TOP THE MOST SUPERIOR PSYCHOLOGY/PHILOSOPHY UNDERSTANDINGS AND LANGUAGE OF ALL ASPECTS/ATTRIBUTES/QUALITIES OF MINDS… THAT CAUSED SOME MISUNDERSTANDINGS, EVEN AMONG BUDDHIST COMMUNITY…

ANOTHER VALUE OF YOUR DISCUSSIONS AND COURSES STIMULATED ME TO CONFIRM MY STUDY , AND MY WRITINGS ABOUT “THE KARMA OF NATIONS”, SINCE I POSSESSED SOLID ART/CULTURAL/RELIGIOUS/PHILOSOPHYCAL, AND EMPIRES HISTORY KNOWLEDGE,
ESPECIALLY EUROPE AND ASIA, AND THEIR CONNECTIONS , IN LAST THREE THOUSAND YEARS,

AND THAT , I WAS FOUND , IN LAST TEN YEARS, THAT CHINESE, ESPECIALLY “HAN NATIONALITY/ETHNIC GROUP”  HAS THE BEST NATIONAL KARMA CREATED IN LAST 5000 YEARS, COMPERING WITH ALL OTHERS NATIONS/CULTURES/SOCIETIES/EMPIRES  IN THE WORLD.

THIS VIEW COULD BE VERY DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND, SINCE REQUIRES HUGE KNOWLEDGE, BUT THEN THROUGH VERY DEEP VIPASANA MEDITATION, CAN BE SEEN VERY CLEARLY, IF I CAN EXPRESS MYSELF THIS WAY,  FROM A DISTANCE, OR ABOVE ALL HISTORY/MOVEMENTS/CHANGES THAT HAPPEN ON OUR MOTHER EARTH.

I PLAN TO DO MORE WORK, TO CULTIVATE And PROVE THESE MY STATEMENTS, WITH MORE STRONG FACTS, THAT CAN BE OBVIOUS TO MANY, AT LEAST HISTORIANS !


SINCE,  I AM KNOW CREATING MY ACTIVITIES AND TASKS SCHEDULE FOR NEXT 2-3 MONTHS AND SETTING DIFFERENT PRIORITIES FOR THEM,

PLEASE, TAKE AN APOLOGY BY MISSING YOURS TEMPLE SERVICES, AND GIVE ME A MORE TIME/NEVER LATE,  FOR FUTURE ATTENDANCES ?

KIND REGARDS,
