When we got to hsihu , miaoli , we did not know how to get to the ashram . i wanted to ask someone , but my husband wouldn t let me . he even teased me , “ didn t you say all you had to do was say namo ching hai wu shang shih five times , then you d be there 到了苗栗西湖卻不知怎么走才能到道場，我想下車問路，但我師兄不肯，還趁機取笑我說：你不是說，只要你念五次南無清海無上師就可以到達，你就念吧！

My life in our heaven - like ashram was completely different and i had never seen such hardship . not knowing how to comfort him , i blurted out , “ meditation can solve any problem ! 久居天堂般道場的我，哪里見過這樣的苦，不知該如何安慰他，脫口而出的還是那句話：打坐就會沒問題的！

So i closed my eyes and recited , “ namo ching hai wu shang shih , where is your ashram ? my husband brought me here to look for you . please guide us on our way . 我閉上眼，口中念著：南無清海無上師，您的道場在哪里，我先生帶我來找您，您趕快指引我們找到道場。

One fellow practitioner at the ashram said to me : “ if you wish , why don t you take it back and have a try 那個時候道場里的一位同修說：好，你喜歡，你拿回去試試看！

So i prayed to master in my heart , “ namo ching hai wu shang shih , where is your ashram 我就一直求師父說：南無清海無上師，您的道場在哪兒？

He works as a prison chaplain and expressed his touching feelings after reading the story by korean brother kim , who was also in prison . he said that the prison could become like an ashram if everyone had the right mind . maybe in the future , master s news magazines and her teachings could be known to more inmates in canadian prisons 這令我們想起在加拿大另一城市有位師兄，他目前在獄中擔任牧師，當他讀到韓國金師兄的故事后十分地感動，他說監獄可以就像一個道場一樣，如果每個人都有正確心態的話，也許在未來，師父的雜志和她的教理可以讓更多加拿大監獄的受刑人知道。

First , the unusual actions of the myriapod must be related to the high spiritual atmosphere in the meditation hall . obviously , the meditation hall in an ashram is a very holy place . so we should always keep our actions , speech and thoughts pure in order to protect the spiritual atmosphere in a meditation hall 這個故事本身雖簡單，卻給我一些很好的啟示：這只百足蟲不尋常的行動一定與大殿高等的靈性氣氛有關，可見道場的打坐大殿是一處很神圣的場所，我們應當隨時保持身口意清凈，以保護大殿的氣氛。

It s possible that when someone outside sees me handing popcorn to each one of you , he d think that you came here only for popcorn . then he may build an ashram and hand out popcorn every day , without knowing the real meaning . the person who gives popcorn must have power so that the popcorn will be blessed ; otherwise , doing it is meaningless 而且如果師父一個一個人給的話，更喜歡，意思是這樣子，后來有可能有人在外面看到，師父一個一個給人爆米花這樣，認為因為爆米花你們才來，以后自己蓋一個道場，然后就每天給爆米花，不曉得真正的含意是什么-給的人應該有力量，才有加持力如果沒有，就沒什么意思。

On sundays and holidays , whenever i could find the time , i used to enjoy a short stay at the hsihu ashram , and then took the night bus home i can still remember that day at ilan ashram , where our initiation session lasted late into the night . the ashram was a long way up the hill , so everyone hastily crowded into the small van that was taking them downhill 還記得印心的那一天，是在宜蘭道場山上，印完心，已經很晚了，山路很長，大家都趕著擠小貨車下山，我因為內心法喜充滿，也不想跟大家搶，于是就只剩下我和姊姊兩人獨步走下山，走著走著，突然間，一輛白色轎車停在我們身邊，車窗搖下來后，竟然是師父探出頭來，笑著對我們說：沒有車啊？

There is an ancient story that goes back to the times of sakyamuni buddha , when sariputra built a huge ashram for him . at that time , sariputra found a giant ant beneath a tree . pointing to the ant , he told the people around him , this ant has been here for many lifetimes and has listened to the lectures of several buddhas 以前也有一個故事：釋迦牟尼佛在世的時候，舍利佛替?建造一座很大的精舍，那時候舍利佛在一棵樹下看到一只很大的螞蟻，就指著那只螞蟻跟旁邊的人說：這只螞蟻已經在這邊好幾世了，聽好幾位佛講經了，但還是沒有開悟，因為它一直沉在螞蟻的等級。

Strolling around the hsihu center , one can see fellow practitioners wearing casual but comfortable cotton clothes , savoring delicious , naturally grown and nontoxic vegetables , and tirelessly retrieving , categorizing and recycling garbage . the nectar river , with its pure , clear water , flows through the delightfully green ashram . there are no luxurious temples or halls , and no superfluous forms of construction or decoration 漫步在西湖道場時，總是可以看到同修穿著簡單舒適的棉質衣衫，吃著天然無毒的美味蔬食，嚴格實施垃圾分類回收與再利用甘露河清澈蜿蜒，道場內綠意盎然，沒有豪華的寺廟殿堂，也沒有無謂的建筑與陳設。

In 1990 , the ashram underwent a renovation , and more flowers and grass were planted . as fellow practitioners were planting new grass in the small park , grass patches were cut neatly into square pieces , and placed on the soil about 60 cm from their adjacent squares in all directions . seeing some sister initiates placing the patches on the ground at these carefully measured distances , we followed their example and did the same 1990年，那個時候道場正在整修及種植花草，小公園有一些草是同修新種下去的，一塊一塊切得像磚塊大小般正正方方，每塊之間前后左右的距離大約都是60公分左右，師姊們正把它們一塊塊地算好距離放在土地上，我們也跟著照她們那樣做。

In countries like thailand , burma , au lac and sri lanka , there s a gate far away from the ashram . people have to take off their shoes before they enter and then go inside with bare feet ; sometimes you even have to bow all the way in from the gate 在泰國緬甸悠樂斯里蘭卡那些地方，他們的道場外面隔很遠的地方有一道門，人們要進去道埸的時候，在門那里就應該脫掉鞋子，然后赤腳走進去，有的甚至從門那里就要拜進去。

When we got to hsihu , miaoli , we did not know how to get to the ashram . i wanted to ask someone , but my husband wouldn t let me . he even teased me , “ didn t you say all you had to do was say namo ching hai wu shang shih five times , then you d be there 到了苗栗西湖卻不知怎么走才能到道場，我想下車問路，但我師兄不肯，還趁機取笑我說：你不是說，只要你念五次南無清海無上師就可以到達，你就念吧！

Through this experience , god has reminded us of the ever - changing quality of this mundane world ; made us grow out of our attachments and appreciate whatever we have now ; and as well , that our human body is also an ashram 這次體驗，也是上帝透過世間無常的轉變提醒我們，讓我們更除去執著而珍惜現有，體會人身即道場，只要將師父教理融入生活中精進修行，則處處是凈土，處處是道場。

Master explains why local group meditation centers exist , and reminds fellow initiates to inwardly seek the kingdom of god while living their lives rather than clinging to the idea of becoming a resident and thus being overly dependent on a center or ashram 師父闡述共修小中心存在的原因，并提醒同修要往內尋找天國，過自己的人生，而非一味想當長住，或過分依賴小中心與道場。

There , my older sister told me that she had felt car sick on the journey to the ashram and was very uncomfortable after she arrived . that was why master especially came to see us and bless my sister , after which she felt much better 這時，姊姊才告訴我，剛才因為她搭車來時暈車很不舒服，師父特地來看我們加持她，現在她已經舒服多了。

When i was in india searching for the truth , i lived in an ashram , where there was a tree , the kind that grows in the desert . its leaves were full of thorns . it had been chopped so badly that it could no longer grow any roots 以前我在印度求道時，住過一處道場，那里有一棵在沙漠生長的樹，它的葉子有刺，被人砍到沒有辦法再長出根來。

One day in 1992 , at the laiyi ashram , master was distributing blessed food to each fellow initiate . we went up to her one by one , and she would grab a handful of candies and put them into our hands 1992年，還記得有一回在來義道場，師父發加持物給每個同修，每個人走到師父面前時，師父都抓一把糖果放在他們手中。
