昨天早上張開眼睛就感觉背部很酸痛，很辛苦坐起來后，右大腿也酸痛不能站起來，慢慢爬去拿電话打给 Steve，跟他说我的情況希望他回家。Steve 回來后，给我吃一点東西，然后服止酸痛藥…我对 Steve 说，“我今晚可要去吃團圓飯哦！” 漸漸藥物發生效用，我已可站起及慢行，我就让 Steve 回去工作，很感動他的細心照護。
很意外的收到 Steve 妈寄來华人賀年卡，傳統的红卡金字！
她的字跡更让我感觉溫馨，“心憶，我知道在你的家鄉，这是非常特别的節日，我也很高兴你和 Steve 能回去與你的家人相聚。我爱你。（译自英文）”我们按时到佛光山寺…素食火鍋已準備好，
大家和兩位師父一起吃火鍋團圓飯。過后，
我们辭歲普佛。每人得到星雲大師的墨寶紀念…
“子德芬芳
有德，人必尊之﹔有功，人必崇之﹔有容，人必附之﹔有量，人必從之。
眾緣和諧
團结必須和諧，和諧必須團结﹔分工必須合作，合作必須分工。”
～星雲大師＜佛光菜很譚＞
佛寺有位佛友煮了很好吃的湯圓，
吃了湯圓就多一歲了呵！
這是我喜欢的新年歌…“財神到！財神到！財神到我家大門口…”
“正月初一頭一天 (The first day of the first lunar month)…” I am playing Chinese New Year (CNY) songs to entertain myself. Here it’s a normal and quiet day; I can’t hear any firecracker noise. It is not like in
Yesterday morning, when I woke up my back felt very sore and it was hard to sit up. My right thigh was also sore and I couldn’t stand up. I crawled slowly to get the phone to call Steve and told him my situation, and that I wanted him back home. Steve came back home, he brought a little food to me, then a painkiller pill… I talked to Steve, “I want go to have ‘tuan yuan fan’ tonight!” Gradually, the pill took effect, and I could stand up and walk slowly. Then I let Steve go back to work. I appreciate that he takes very good care of me.
I felt surprised when we received a CNY card sent to us by Steve’s mom. It was a traditional red card with a gold design & words, and her words made me feel warm, “I know this is a very special time in your country, SinEe. And I am so happy you and Steve can be there with your family. I love you.”
We went to the temple on time… The vegetarian hot pots are ready, and we are having a hot pot ‘tuan yuan fan’ with two venerables.
After that, we had a Buddhist service, and every one of us received souvenirs from Master Hsing Yun…
“Prosperous Future Generations
With virtue, you will be respected.
With achievements, you will be adored.
With magnanimity, you will be acclaimed.
With tolerance, you will be followed.”
“Harmonious Conditions In All
Unity leads to harmony; harmony requires unity.
Doing your job well requires that you cooperate; the cooperation of others lets you do your job well.”
~Dharma Thoughts of Master Hsing Yun
A Buddhist friend cooked the yummy sweet soup, called ‘tang yuan’, for those who attended the service. We add one more year to our age after eating this ‘tang yuan’, oh oh!
This is my favorite CNY song…“財神到！財神到！財神到我家大門口 (Cai Shen is coming! Cai Shen is coming! Cai Shen is coming to my house)…” Cai Shen is the Chinese god of Prosperity.
