After some months of practice now, I realize how much Buddhism has affected my life and made me a more peaceful, serene person much more capable of dealing with life and all its obstacles.
I managed to gain further insights on Buddhism and try new experiences. I learnt how to forgive and let go, to be mindful, how to clear the thoughts in my mind and how to make peace with everything. I also made a number of new friends here in the monastery. I am a much more kind, compassionate and happy person because of that! Not only my thoughts and ways have changed but also my lifestyle. I come to the monastery during weekends and to volunteer some works regardless of the difficulties on my way here.
I can’t imagine anything more rewarding or fulfilling. Our journey doesn’t end on this ceremony but it’s the beginning of our journey to enlightenment.
I would like to sincerely thank the Dharma Masters for their tireless effort in teaching us the Buddhist path, the method of cultivating our mind and the spiritual development leading to deep insight into the true nature of life.
Amitofo!
