my dear friends and family
last week i watched a TV science documentary talking about reality in life, in the universe etc.... sciencetists tried hard to analyze what 'reality' is, initially they said that 'reality' is a hollowgraph, then later they said they cannot really explain what 'reality' is.
this reminds me of an incident a couple of weeks ago: on my way to encourage a member who has been chanting and practicing our buddhist practice for more than one year but did not seem to have made much progress , i talked to chloe about my problem, chloe is my granddaughter who is on holiday in sydney, she is 15.
to my surprise, chloe said: maybe this member is trying to use her logic to understand the buddhist philosophy, which is about the power of life, and the power of the universe. chloe also said: ' maybe this member has been asking and asking for things in her prayer and did not take appropriate action to reach her goals, and then complained.' hearing chloes comment, i was stunned.
chloe is only 15, and she has the wisdom to give me her insight which had helped me so much when i talked to the member concerned. yes, life and the law of the universe is sooo mystic and so powerful that even scientists cannot explain, let alone simple logic.
i am so happy, and so proud, of little chloe, and i must say that i enjoy every minute of her stay with me. she is so pure, simple, so understanding, and yet so wise and so intelligent. she is also a very happy and kind hearted girl. she attends every sgi group meeting with me (amost three times a week) and is enjoying the meetings very much.
mrs. cheng (chloes mother and my daughter), you've got a lovely daughter. (from movie: the graduate)
cheers
