All of these ten realms—a single thought--
Are not apart from your present thought. If you can awaken to that thought, You'll arrive immediately at the other shore. -- Master Hua This past month, the journey has taken me three quarters around the globe, from US to China to UK. But somehow, it feels like home everywhere. I have to look at each "stranger" doubly, because they seem so familiar. Perhaps, with open and reverent heart (I'm trying), one would belong anywhere in the Dharma realm, and encounter "familiar strangers" at every turn. Below are some stories along the way.

To arrive where we started
This Spring, I found myself back at the City of Ten Thousand Buddhas for four weeks. Interestingly, I was here exactly a year ago for an overnight visit, at the very beginning of the bicycling pilgrimage around the world. Back then, I was simply pulled by a strong intuition to make CTTB the first stop of the pilgrimage -- not really knowing why, nor having any clue that this place will be such an important part of my journey. 驰骋田猎，令人心发狂。-- 《老子》
自天子以至於庶人，壹是皆以修身為本。--《大学》 狂性自歇，歇即菩提。--《楞严经》 ----- 留美的中国学生，既是国际潮流的先觉者，也是国内同龄人的晴雨表。通过观察他们，可以感知中国下一个时代的脉搏。 当下这一批留学生，是九零后的前队。（从二十岁到三十出头这个年龄段，这里姑且统称为“九零后”。）身边的观察以及直觉告诉我，九零后的“野孩子”们，是心灵觉醒的一代人，是从追逐“狂心”到回归“修心”的一代人。他们的人生选择，会影响中国和世界的未来。 在环球朝圣的行程中，原本没打算来这里。即使来，也没打算待这么久。可是种种机缘，引领我来到加州北部的万佛圣城，一住就是七周。2016年底到2017年初，三周的研读经典和随众修习，一周的弥陀七，三周的禅七。
来时，怀着“无所求”之心。走时，却载满了人生路上最宝贵的财富：重识师父，梦中受教，发愿持戒，研习经藏，浅尝法门，等等。 这七七四十九天，是心路历程的里程碑，慧命法身的诞生地。受益无穷，感恩无尽。一些普世的经历，愿与大家分享。 |
