Overwhelming

In my life, I never met anyone who had been in prison. Then I went to a Buddhist group called Inside Dharma (http://insidedharma.net/About.html and same link to Shinzo Zen Meditation Center.)  I met a few of them who are ex-offenders. Last week, one of them shared with me and my husband, the first time he received a Christmas card (from Inside Dharma) after he had been in prison for several years.  He said it was overwhelming. 

My heart was so touched. What a huge impact a light little card made! 

Even when someone makes a mistake and is being punished, they still deserve peoples’ care and support to get through. Help them to grow and change. 

All human beings need to feel loved.  

 
在我的生活裡，我從未接觸過曾監獄者，至到我參與一個佛教組織名為Inside Dharma及同屬的Shinzo禪修中心，在那遇到幾位前犯罪者。上星期，我和丈夫與其中一位在閑談，有一小段分享。他說，在牢獄幾年，有一年第一次收到一封聖誕卡（來自Inside Dharma）。那是他很大的感觸。
我看到他真情的述說，我的心很感動。一張小小輕輕的卡，沖擊的份量卻那麼大！

當某人犯錯及受懲罰，他們仍然值得被關注和支持他們走過去。也能幫他們成長及改變。
每個人都需要得到愛。
