Enlightenment trip in Taiwan-Xue Lu Shan

台湾行:雪卢山 修生养性之旅
地点:KLIA 国际机场

目的地:桃园机场
时间:2点
日期:十月十五号二零一一年



机缘巧合下,经过阿嬷的细心安排参加了8天7夜的学佛之旅,值得幸运的是,唯一得付钱的来回机票也是由阿嬷来赞助(谢谢阿嬷!)。课程是免费的,当中还有包括可以媲美民宿的环境;来自各地的好菜;收不完的结缘品。在这里,有很多用钱买不到的东西;

• 阿姨们用心烹调的私房菜,每天菜色都不一样
• 90岁阿婆热心奉献在自己庭院种的有机蔬菜,
• 用微笑与热情感染我们的74岁施伯伯
• 充满耐心的樱美姐,总是微笑着配合我们的脚步
• 每天连续三小时守在热得像火焰山小房,烧材给我们洗热水澡的烟卤阿伯
• 从负责蒐集可燃的枯木和被遗弃的家具到负责把木加工的无名英雄们
• 还有很多的社工们,从抵达桃园开始,一直到结束,都全心全意的为我们付出。

一部相机来不及纪录这里的一切,在我心中看到的是朵朵盛开的莲花向我指引发菩提心的大道。

8D7N Enlightenment trip in Xue Lu Shan (Taiwan)
Location: KLIA International Airport
Time: 2:00pm
Date: 15th October 2011

Yes! I am flying to Taiwan under a secret mission :)

My grandma offered me a sweet deal a couple of months back - she asked if I would be interested to attend a Taiwan retreat. To top it up, she would sponsor the return air tickets, making the entire trip (including enlightenment lessons, accommodation, food and transport) absolutely free (for me). Not passing the irresistible one time offer, it was time to pack!

Through the trip, my knowledge about buddhism deepened. Not just through the daily lessons but also through the volunteers from all around Taiwan that showered me with their unconditional love. I could never imagine living in a place where I can entirely trust and have full confidence on the people around me. Through my interactions with them, I finally understood the true meaning of "selflessness" in Buddhism. I sincerely thank them from the bottom of my heart and re-enforcing my believe, "giving will reap the greatest harvest".

雪卢山之感恩篇

一个偶然,把我带到一个从未曾到过的宝岛;
远离城市的喧哗声;回归了大自然。
一场意外,让我接近了佛法;一个偶然,教我认识了佛法。
一班天使,带着熟练的身手;不问名利,默默地付出;
无私的给予阳光,一心只想行菩萨道;
我曾怀疑,这样的世界凭着脚步能不能达到;
从中明白,真正力行就是对他们最好的回报。

Thanks-giving
I wouldn't know if nobody mentioned. All that was prepared for this trip were all done by these "silent" angels. They were the ones who worked night and day for our trip and never asked for anything in return.

To be frank, my camera only manage to capture 20% of them, as some of them were doing stuffs at other areas and some of them already left before sunrise. Big thanks to these people, Amitābha.












谢谢你们!
Thank you every one!
