『最深刻的是第一天的青春歲月,因為它真實呈現了我不願面對的真相──我不太知道活著要做什麼,於是在幾天,我一直不斷思考,我究竟要什麼,在尋找什麼?』
The most memorable moment was the skit “My College Years” on the first day because it presented the reality I’m not willing to face - I don’t know what I’m living for. So for the next couple of days, I kept thinking what I want in life and what it is that I’m searching for.
『追求快樂應以心靈為主、物質為輔,過去曾經為了不開心,就會和朋友相約去逛街,但在之後,常有莫名的空虛與恐慌,或許我們不應以這種方式逃避問題,而是以另一種方式去面對問題,觀功念恩,當對某人不滿時,觀功念恩,去發現每人心中那顆鑽石,或許我們都會過得比以前快樂。』
When seeking happiness, the focus should be on the enrichment of the mind instead of on external materials. Before, I would ask my friends to go shopping whenever I get upset, but somehow I always felt empty and frightened afterwards. Perhaps we shouldn’t use these methods to run away from our problems. Instead, use a different method to face our problems like using “OMAK” (Observe Merits and Appreciate Kindness). When we are discontent with someone, we can use OMAK to seek out the positive traits in these individuals. Using this method can perhaps bring us more happiness than before.
『我很喜歡每一次的心靈對話,雖然沒有勇氣自己舉手發問,但許許多多的問題也藉由別人發問、法師解答中,讓我有了新的領悟,找一位智者指引我們生命的方向真的很重要。』
I really enjoyed the session of “Soulful Conversation.” Although I didn’t have the courage to raise my hand and ask questions, many questions asked by others and answered by the Dharma Master, I was able to derive new realization that finding a wise teacher to guide the directions of our life is very important.
『看著這幾天身旁的義工及輔導老師用心帶著我們,每次看到大家臉上的笑容都覺得好開心,那是一個幫助別人,發自內心的笑,我也想和他們一樣獲得這種快樂。日常老和尚的事蹟也深深觸動著我,如果有一天我也能付出心力去幫助別人,我想我也能有相同的微笑掛在臉上。』
Seeing the amount of efforts the volunteers and counselors exerted in taking care of us the past few days, it made me happy each time I saw their smiles. Such sincere smiles come from the heart of helping others. I want to obtain this kind of happiness too. I was also deeply touched by Venerable Ri-Chang’s deeds. If I can devote myself to help others one day, I think I can have the same smile on my face as well.
『我祈禱自己可以成為一個有智慧的人。從學習做起,加入大專班,成為福智青年,帶來希望,活力,活在這美好的大地,完成我美好的人生。我需要力量,讓我真正無私地慈悲為懷,當我看見髒、病、弱者,我能勇敢地伸出手。』
I pray that I can become a person with wisdom. Starting off by learning, joining the Bliss and Wisdom College Division, becoming a part of the Bliss and Wisdom Youth, bringing hope and vitality, living on this beautiful earth, and making my beautiful life complete. In order to become selfless and to have mercy for the bad, I need strength. And when I see the sick, the filthy, or the weak, I will have the courage to reach out to them.
