Belated Posts..Part 2-New Year Trip 佛光山

On the 14th day of CNY, on account of the invitation from xiang rui and jin mu, i was able to grab a chance to visit Fo Guang Shan(佛光山), which might also be known as Dong Chan Shi(东禅峙) ..for their annual lantern display during CNY.

Belated Posts..Part 1-Ipoh Trip

At the beginning of this semester i joined gals for a sudden trip to the nearest town, Ipoh.. Just a simple suggestion at first from me for the reason to get a treatment towards my face before CNY..^^ hehe.. Surprisingly everyone agreed and we departed on the spot.. haha.. *planning and practise for trip is always the most effective deed from us* =.=

Kah Weng and Sam met us at bus station and we headed for the famous local food Bean Sprout Chicken and Soup Keuh Teow for dinner. Besides that, we visited a secret "heaven" in Ipoh the next day, named Gunung Lang.. I assumed it as a secret place because very few people know about it, especially local "Ipohian".

(Random shots from Gunung Lang..)












This is what i mentioned in the above sentences.. Bean Sprout Chicken
(where the chicken and bean sprout are cooked separately but served and tasted together)



There's one night we visited Night Market, i cant really remember which day. Those "Ipoh classmates" brought us there and introduced lots delicious desserts to us.. *so full..=.=*

老师的弟子


近一年以来,上了大学后,除了加入本身大学佛学会,报名参与弘法组之外,也陆续参加了一些佛学生活营,培训营或活动等等。。每当在填表格时,几乎都会看见表格里有着那么几句问题。。


1。你是否已经皈依?皈依法名?皈依法师?
2。你对于佛教的认识和心得?
3。你参与过哪些佛教活动或佛教团体?
4。等等。。


其实这些问题在佛教界的活动表格上是很普遍的。。但最近当我在填写“全营”的表格时,面对那些问题,我却思考了很久才回答。。以前的活,就写写写,填填填,然后就交了,也不会去多想什么。也许这一次填的是“全营”的表格,让自己严肃点,认真点,所以面对这些问题,也想了很久才一一回答。。


不懂是不是因为自己渐渐的深入佛学,佛教,等等。。发现自己对于佛教的活动,佛法,佛学等,那“爱教护教”的热忱逐渐增加了。。也慢慢的学习让自己的生活与佛法结合。现在的我,除了每个星期五出席自己负责的中文佛学班之外,参与佛学会的一些活动,也帮忙筹备“感恩夜”。不久前和肖瑛到了槟城协助一个静修营,第一次自己带团康,真的是“震”(紧张+怕)。。可是那时候,就让自己尽力的去做,当下真的可以感受到湘茹和文成他们常说。。“我是少年团出身的;少年团我的爱我的家;以它为荣”。。那个营其实是为槟城大山脚琉璃书轩青年团所办的培训营,他们是刚成立的团体,营的目标和宗旨就和少年团每年办的营一样。。当时的我和肖瑛回忆了好多在少年团的点滴。。本身很感谢这个家给了我很多很多的机会,就算错了,也没关系,它是个免费的舞台,台下有的是为你加油鼓励的观众。。也感激“他”,当初把我带进这个家。。


一年前,成功的让自己皈依成为老师的弟子。其实也盼了好几年,只是因缘不具足。在家,在朋友群里,会发觉自己是“特别”的。为什么这么说呢。。???家里四个孩子,我是唯一在学佛的。在朋友群里,我是他们常说“一天到晚佛学会,去佛堂,出家好了”的那个人。上了大学,同学中,我也是唯一一个参与佛学会的人。大家常常问我为什么有这么忙,每天都佛学会,佛堂两边跑。。除了功课,就是佛学会开会,佛教活动。这一切一切,为的是什么。。?为的是建立我心灵的皈依处。。以前我会觉得自己是不是沉迷了或哪里不对劲。但后来真正的认识了佛教,对于自己的选择更明确了。也许其他人不懂,但至少我自己知道我在做什么,至少我忙得充实,忙得开心。。累一点,没关系。。


大专佛青,大专佛学会,大学生活。。短短的三年。期待让自己更进步,期待让自己不一样。也希望自己能为佛教多做一些什么。最近,为自己想了一个“学佛心得”。“快乐学佛,学佛快乐”。哈哈。。(“快乐星期五”的广告词 =.=)


^^~愿大家都法喜充满~^^
