My Experience in Tibetan Heritage
. At the same time, countless miracles happened in my family. So I am grateful for Bodhisattva Bodhisattva. Although I can not share all of these stories with you today, I would like to talk about what motivated me to attend this seven-day event.
Simply put, I came to attend because I was scared. Why is it so scary? Recently, I have witnessed many deaths around me, and those who lost are my friends, colleagues, acquaintances. In most cases, death comes true and takes them away while they are young and at the best stage of life. After feeling like shivers around them, I find myself restless and want to know what that means. Who is next? What will happen?
Lives and death can be exchanged for a split second. For ordinary people, there is no way to prepare in advance. Since being such a person, I have fear for many reasons. First of all, I do not know when death came. Second, I do not know where I will go when this life ends. In order to answer these questions, I asked my husband to allow me to remain alone in the temple and participate in a full seven days so that I could concentrate on spiritual practice without running back and forth between the temple and the house. In addition, I know very well my lack of concentration.
By staying in the temple, I can help myself from getting impatient and get angry with my husband or my son for at least seven days. Therefore, I was enrolled in the Lot and moved to the Phuoc Thap.
Before the Feast began, I told my children to avoid talking to me if they met me in the temple for the next seven days. My children obey this rule very well. When they see me, they just run back, smile at me, and run away.
Two days later, the school asked my husband to report to the public on the progress of the school project, and I was asked to do part of the translation. So, I started talking to my family. I told my two daughters, "Tomorrow (Wednesday) is the birthplace of the birth of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva. I expect two children to attend the ceremony." One of my two daughters replied, "I want to go all day long, early in the morning." My husband told them it was too early for my husband to take them home. Then my daughter asked for them to stay with me overnight at the Bluff Tower. I replied, "If you can go all day long from 4 am to the end of the day without missing anything, you can stay with me." And I was surprised to see both of my daughters agree.
At first, I asked my child not to talk to me during the Easter so I would not be angry with my children. Yes, on Wednesday, I am angry with them for the small things they do. When that happened, I realized I was wrong.
My karma has been manifested on the birth day of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva! After the evening ceremony, I took my daughter out of the Main Hall and asked, "Today did something wrong?"
My son answered, "Why do not you know what's going on?"
I replied, "You just want to hear me say that?"
My son said, "Mom, Mom said this way to us, she was attending Motherland, silent, and did not talk to us, I was so happy!"
"Why?" I asked again.
"Well, if you do not say it, then you will not be lazy." This is something I experienced during the period.
I also want to share with you that I have not slept well in the last few nights. That first night, I heard loud noise from the ground. Explosive Bang! Bang! Bang! I think some old pipes have some trouble. The noise was so loud that I could not sleep for hours. Finally, I was tired and slept a little. The second night, I was startled wake up to the sounds like the day before, but especially this dynamic is even bigger. I heard many footsteps in the corridor. I have to sit up thinking it must be time to chant and I do not want to be late. I open the light.It was 2am and others were sleeping. I turned off the light and lay down again. The ground noise is very loud and clear, just like the impact of the metal.
I thought to myself that some underground water really needed to be repaired. I also wonder why roommates can still sleep with such loud noises. I tried to cover my ear but nothing helped. The noise continued for about an hour. Then I heard footsteps go towards the door (south). I wondered what was going on outside but did not have the courage to open the door. At the same time, the beating of the metal on the ground continued. Then I heard a woman say, "Hurry up! Hurry up!" I was so scared and began to recite the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva's name and fell asleep. I asked my roommates, "Did you hear any noise last night? That's great! "They told me they did not hear anything.
The next day, I ran to a nun and asked, "Do you hear rumbling noise for hours every night is normal? How can anyone sleep in this building?" "Yes? Can the Bodhisattva Tibetan door to hell with the golden triangle to open the door. "When I hear that, everything is rational. The truth is that the sound is from the south, and it really sounds like the metal crashing into the metal.
On Tuesday night, I woke up from the sound as before. This time I watch the clock. It was 1:30. Noise from the south and slowly moved toward the main hall. Then the voice changes to the way of rebirth. I'm sure the echo is very close. It was very dark outside. Out of curiosity, I was scared not to go out.
I continued diligently chanting the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva name when the screams are only 15 to 20 meters away from me. As I listened to the sounds, memories of my past mistakes, other spiritual practices, as well as the normal things I never thought of, passed through my memory. I feel remorse and shame. Compared to the vows of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva, I am just one of the beings that continually make mistakes and do not benefit much for others. At the same time, I also quietly vowed to follow the Venerable Master and the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva from generation to generation and learn of their profound vows until I can measure myself and others.
Wednesday night to catch the first land with the same time at night hours. Then change the clang of the iron rings like the door is open but not open. When I wake up the next morning, I tell my daughters, "Trying to recite the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva name to help the Bodhisattva, if you try, the hell door will open faster!"
It's my story that I have not slept in the last few nights. It is wonderful that I can finish the feast with all of you. I would not have been able to complete without the assistance of the Bodhisattva Bodhisattva.
In addition to the experiences I have mentioned above, I am aware of the fact that birth and death are really important. Yesterday evening we watched the movie Six Hundreds of hunters and faced the impermanence of birth and death. The situation is no different from what we are facing today. The lawyer told us a few days ago, "Before we end birth and death, we will always suffer through samsara, like change of clothes. What clothes will we wear and what will we be born into?
I think it's time for me to be more serious in spiritual practice. If I do not wake up now and start using it, it is difficult to say in the future I will go to hell.
