ago she was a monk of the nuns, and now she is a Christian, why?
faith in Christ, I was a monk of the nuns, twenty years in the Buddhist community. Twenty five years ago, it was a period studying at the university, although the reading of the Department of Foreign Languages, but often run the library for some philosophical books; as I fill in the JUPAS voluntary election was originally Score enough, but girls places are limited, so to change the distribution to At that time, such as foreign classical name of the Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, Greek mythology, Homer, Dante's Divine Comedy, Faust tour of hell, and even the existence of modern philosophy, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer, etc. I have quite an interest in, and I am Chinese I But the soul is still empty inexplicable. Have to want to participate in the school's So in the second year of graduate school, and occasionally writing with a group of loving friends to Hualien tourism, came to a Buddhist temple, to the sound of the chanted that night in the deeply moved, tears DC, seem to have returned home feeling, so the monk the idea of old, I was determined to find life here.
twenty-six to forty-year-old, is one of the most precious years of his life, I was in the days of monk depleted. The monk did not imagine living a
monk's day twenty-three years, the first five years of Institute of Buddhism as a teaching and administrative ministry so far. Ten years later still unsatisfactory, the school can play a little, but also by full-time, therefore, to have more time dedicated to the study Buddhist sutra; though still busy, but compared to the previous hard work, still Ride has also been one of the little dignity. Although a lot of hard work
life, but life in the maximum impact, until today, the guide for when to change religion can be traced back to November 1996, I was in Taichung Vocational Services Charity College of Buddhism bit long, no reason was a sensation in Taiwan caught in a major scandal in the Buddhist world, thus can be considered after the stormy sea of life, and seen all the ugliness of human nature, the weakness of human hypocrisy, really feel sad, even regrettable are themselves rolling on the corner, although not the most important protagonists, but it can be regarded as a pivotal supporting role, really bad state of mind was extreme: Think of his life from an innocent student, originally thought that Promised Land; out from a monk now, can only use words to describe himself - doubt whether there is the courage to live.
have to ask such a mood of despair over the church priest, he taught me to look at the Bible, Romans Chapter Seven: eighteen - nineteen, Paul said: None of goodness. because I'm determined to get what is good, but I'm not carry it out. Therefore, I wish it good, I do not do anti-; I do not want evil, I'd do it. , for me, really heart again; I also understand that if Romans seven chapters: the twenty-first - twenty-five said; evil with me. because according to me is mean, I like the law of God; But I see another law, the law of my mind fighting abducted me told me to go from that body with criminal acts in the law. I'm much suffering; Who shall deliver me from this dead body? Thank God our Lord Jesus Christ who will be able to rely on out. So, in my heart obey God's law, My flesh is the law of sin was. In Buddhism, a practice intended to trust their own efforts, but the result is head time and time again by the failure and frustration, no wonder to say: Do not know when this war can only be to stop. Most people say that religion - also affected by a similar hard, tired, too, I do not know what to do: now in Paul's words in Romans is the best answer: Although religion is advising people to do good,Bailey UGG boots, but only by faith in Jesus Christ can save and conservative . Romans eight chapters in the Bible because one - four, said: the law of. the law only weak through the flesh, could not do, God sending his own Son in the shape of the body of sin, made a sin offering, and set the crime in the flesh, so that the righteousness of the law fulfilled in us, not after the flesh, but after the Spirit person.
follow the previous note, I September 3, 1997, for the first time to the United States, settled in New York Buddhist Vihara Flushing; is to leave the Buddhist Institute in June, the re-call their own fuel from the hope that the United States to accept the invitation of the East, an old monk, set up a program in the United States Institute of Buddhism. First, the old monk to hire me as a vice president, let me Buddhist College for his plan matters, the two sides after several talks, has repeatedly let me down; , and I completely woke up. Decided to leave the Buddhist community, do not want to carry such a big burden; but also the back can not afford it! Down on the Buddhist community, let me do a Buddhist reflection; had become a monk, longing for inaction is pure relief, thinking that the road from this effort, it will certainly become a Buddha holy,UGGs, but the years of dedication, in exchange for the is So I was advised to So shalt thou Amitabha escorts, I have kept all day Jingye Buddha, even the best sleep has continued in the study. I also follow suit, although the Swiss like a dream, but in real life, it is still experiencing a lot of frustration with the crime, the crime of my efforts and cross-running. Although it is the
thank God,Discount UGG boots, and before October when the university's best students in touch, for her to take me to church. The first sermon to the town church; priest repeatedly as an example, people talk about sin, missing, such rhetoric is quite to my surprise, and discovery of the Buddhist Master of the performance of The teachings different. Bible Church to discuss the second, the first sentence of . So my heart began struggling on the choice of different religions. Fear will betray their true original Buddhist beliefs, but also ran a brother at home categorically said to him: Father recognized me. Magically, after I finish this sentence, only strengthened my resolve to believe in God; so eagerly wish to be baptized, believe in God.
hard work is a new office in the future my new life. Thank God, life fifties, had been born again, what would be more teaching people the joy of it? Before, I was advised to say: I have thought about; present in Buddhism although able to Do stay put to safe? This is not an Now understand the
due to the long in the Buddhist community, to hold a Master should be a solemn, and with the believers to maintain a considerable distance, making the heart to become very cold. Now face a group of caring brothers and sisters, and often feel out of place; thought up, can not help but weep. Night, could not help but cry: No: If not, I can not pretend that you are deceived.
a parched dry well, seepage water from the bottom, and then the water overflow the wellhead; at this time I: heart & feel full of joy and light. I understand; turned out to be the love of God, overflowing out of me, why I love him, love. The reason I did not feel before, because in the past twenty three years of Only God's love to the love overflowing. funding this year, I came to California on January 6 that the Christian Health Workers Theological Seminary; After a semester created; cultivate spiritual lessons, and enhance their obedience to God, through the words of Scripture, more of the trust Indeed, according to God - God is I still remember when just believe in Jesus, the thinking and the need to face Taiwan's Buddhist past in mind is inevitable that some timid, like Jeremiah, the Lord said, But now I can be strong courage up, because is present nor the future, what is the height, the lower is any other creature, can not call me from the love of God, this love is Jesus Christ our Lord.
Christianity is: beginning or end. Both have a very different Buddhism in the past twenty years in the
this world is impermanent, full of suffering; Buddhist lead to world-weary and the suicide example. The Bible,
, the universal experience, most people have the experience and realize the common, the difference lies in how you deal with. The Bible says: can not know.
Whether good or evil, God will plead.
face a group of Buddhists, for me, he (she) were deeply sorry, and even wish I could change her mind; inappropriate This is impossible, because I'm so joyful in Jesus Christ the true peace,UGG shoes, joy.
I have the paths of righteousness. though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me. in my enemies, and you a feast for me; you my head with the ointment, so my pieces cup overflows. my cup overflows me, and playing live in the house of the Lord forever.
Buddhist With But just no reason to generate negative life. And faith in Jesus Christ, the road of life only real dwell in you, and what is the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and shall dwell in your hearts through the Holy Spirit, so that your mortal bodies alive again.
Oh! Praise God, thank God. The child's body, mind and life to all look in the Father's conservative, yes, I am also willing and happy to witness the goodness of the Gospel: people get the same benefits of the gospel. Thank God, Amen!
