This year I entered the academy

Before I knew it, I had been in the academy for nearly a year.These eleven months are the eleven months with the clearest goals and clearest life besides going to school.Even these eleven months have formed a milestone in my future life and brought me into a new river of time.No longer be confused, confused, and go with the flow, and use the so-called fulfillment to pass on life, but instead organize and move forward in the clear and increasingly clear environment, and prepare for the momentum, giving yourself and your future life a worthy expectation and explanation.

I accidentally entered the academy based on the Buddhist novice.A year ago, I didn’t even understand if this is superstition. What exactly did I learn to study Buddhism? I just felt that after I went to a salon several times, I would suddenly review and self-dissection without realizing it. It was really amazing.With nothing to do anyway, I will adjust my emotional curiosity and the mentality of passing the time.Unexpectedly, I got a lot of money in the year, which was unexpected and I couldn't even imagine.

During this year, the materialistic concept of not seeing the ancients and those who do not pursue the future was overturned.I know that there is reincarnation, this life and the next life, there are so many tears in the water of the four seas, bones as high as the Himalayas, and endless karma revolving over the years.Not remembering does not mean that you have not done it; but doing it does not mean that you cannot change it.From being confused when doing things to being regretful afterwards, looking back and realizing, by the time and sequence, I believe that I will gradually establish mindfulness through practice, live with mindfulness, and curb the occurrence of bad situations in advance.Not only do you create less and no karma in the future, you can also protect the body of refuge through daily prayer and repentance, and eliminate karma by making a wish to repent.The past has passed, and the past sins have been committed, but I still have this life.Entering the academy is the beginning of the life transformation project and the most precious milestone in its lifetime.

There is another big thing for me during this year, that is, I have completed the major choice of faith in life.When entering the class, most senior brothers had Dharma names.But I am the only one who has a weak foundation in studying Buddhism, clumsy and slow.When I was taking refuge on New Year's Day, I saw myself in the first row under the blue sky and white clouds in the photo, and the back was filled with believers who converted.So whenever I enter Xiyuan Temple, I think of the mighty and majestic day.That day was a new starting point in my life and the most solid foundation for me to find a place of peace of mind.That day, the birds were jubilant, and the Bodhisattvas gathered in the air, joyful, extraordinary and unforgettable, which made me engraved it in my heart.From then on, the lonely heart no longer drifted, and the dull life has light.The Three Jewels will bless you.

During this year, it is unbelievable that I have changed my bad habit of not having sex without meat and getting up late for decades.This is simply a challenge to the inertia of life for decades! I said that I have become better at studying Buddhism, but my mother said that it is easy to change the country and nature is hard to change.I said, when did you see me eating vegetarian food every day? When did you see me getting up at around 6 am every day? My mother smiled and stopped talking.Yes, I haven't told anyone else, because I haven't gotten the full vegetarian food yet, and I still can't put it down.

But since eating the vegetables I got packed alone on New Year's Eve this year, I suddenly realized the deliciousness of the vegetables! They are the tender leaves growing under nature, absorbing the sunshine and rain.When eating beef, I think of a cow standing in front of me. Will I eat its meat? No.So I couldn't eat it anymore.When sleeping, I still like to stay up late, but in the morning, I have to get up before seven o'clock to do morning classes.It's been sixteen years! I've been going to get up at 8 a.m. and sleep until twelve noon on weekends. It's been sixteen years! I can't believe it.

Each of us is changing.The year of the same class should be said to be the year when every student can see the most changes.In the future, as long as we develop the Bodhicitta and follow the guidance of the instructor, and live in the two sets of three-level practice and service to the public, we believe that we will have more and better changes.Every day is a good day!
