有时候懒得静下心写一篇博客，还好回复邮件的耐心依然还在，那就拿过来权当除草吧。

Hey I didn’t expect to get your reply because I assumed that you are still in the temple or the email address is wrong… Anyway,it’s so nice to hear from you. I’m so happy to know your life in CM! Please write more to me next time although you thought people should speak less haha.

Yeah I went to the Chinese temple and stayed there for a month. At first I couldn’t get used to it because the temple locates in the deep mountain so the accommodation standard is lower than Wat Lumpem:almost 20 people share a room,you have to go out of the room and climb some steps to get to the tolit, no enough living water… After I went through this stage I met the new question.Buddhism in mainland China is very different from what in Thailand. I was very confused because they seem to be against each other. Then after talking or reading the books of masters I understood that there are thousands of approaches of being a believer. There’s no right or wrong,but suitable or not. That’s why we say Buddha is so brilliant, he use different ways to teach different people.
So ,,yeah, I really appreciate the experience both in Thailand and in China. I was back to Shanghai two month ago and I’m an online English teacher now. Time to take the new challenge, I mean now I’m surrounded by people who are not so into spiritual life. I always question myself these days. So I have to be very aware to keep my mind calm like you said.I practice by doing my work well and keep the mercy to people including myself because everyone is suffering. I do sitting meditation in the morning maybe three times a week. I try to do it everyday but the life is not as regular as it in the temple so it’s a bit hard to persist. But I’ll try.

Well.. I ‘d like to say thank you again for what you taught me in the temple and let’s keep in touch:)

Hi Illy,

I’m pretty well and I’m not in the temple anymore.I decided to support myself by working in my friend’s coffee company in Chiang Mai.I still got plenty of time to practice even if my mind is disturb by the outside I keep on.I’ve got the opportunity to give some dharma talking around me specially to the women I’m working with.After 1 month of listening to her complaining for the same thing,I ask her that from now on,we will work in silence.As she thinks that she doesn’t have time to go to the temple or to pray,being aware of what she is doing on the here and now,it will be a way to do some meditation .She understood for the benefit of each of us.People don’t realise they are speaking too much and loosing their mindfullness.

And you,how are you?What are you doing?Did you go to the temple to learn about budhisism?
Wish you all the best.
