中国北京剧 : 23-Feb-08

This is the third time which i watched a Bejing Opera performance with Papa, first in Kallang Threatre, second in Golden Mile Complex and this one is Victoria Threatre...

元宵节: Feb-08

欣慰、感激

从一念三千的佛理来看，各位强盛信心的一念，也会反映出来，不管表面上所显现的结果如何，但先生和孩子的生命，从本源上是朝着妙法的方向，早就在广宣流布的轨道上前进。

According to the Buddhist principle of Ichinen Sanzen, your strong ichinen of faith will soon find its manifestation. Regardless of what appears on the surface, the lives of your husband and children at their very core will be moving in the direction of the Mystic Law, and are already advancing on the path of Kosen-rufu without your knowing.

A few years ago, i came across the above passage, and for reasons i can't recall now, i cut out the inconspicious piece of photostated paper, found a plastic stand and placed it next to my butsudan. It had stood in that place for a good few years.

Then, Victor had only sansho with me occasionally and frequently mumbled about the ''so many'' meetings that i was attending. Well, come next month, he will officially be an assistant district leader in the men's division! Indeed, ''the life of my husband has advanced on the path of Kosen-rufu'' without my conscious knowing. I am sure my girls' lives will be moving in the same direction now that both wings of the parents are flapping! :)
