- The vegetarian food from supermarket: smelled like meat making me uncomfortable.My body is not designed for meat:) I dohave the potential to be a vegetarian.
- All that needed come to help you when you have good faith.
- Also realized it is so imp to have a master or teacher to guide you on the way,because people have laziness, and may fear of obstacles. A master is the person who probably used to have the similar problems
- Life as an exchange student could be boring sometimes since one came here alone and knew nobody before. It was bored from the outset but im getting used to it and enjoy the benefit of being alone: become conscious about "what am I doing/thinking" ; more readings done.
Monday
- Did feel like singing when saying 'ah'when I was staring at the spot.
- Generally more sober-minded the recent days.
- Couldn't stop yawning after getting up or in the afternoon. frequently when I'm studying. But when it is sth I'm interested in, not yawning anymore.
by Monday evening
Wednesday
- have just finished reading China's new revolution. I'm more focused on what I'm interested in, indeed, it's just common sense...what could you do when you have to do something.
- 15.00. was eating strawberry and thinking of things I cannot remember. It feels a bit anxiety and I told myself, when you are eating strawberry, just do it but nothing else. Then I looked at the berry at hand ,hey strawberry,I'm focusing on the strawberry...do one thing at one moment.
Thursday
- 我很开心即使在一个陌生的城市，我也能为别人指路。经常遇到被陌生人求助的情况，我很欣慰，同学的爸爸说这是因为“you look approachable”. 尽管有时我是一个对陌生人很戒备很谨慎的人（父母教育害人之心不可有，防人之心不可无），甚至可以在没有开口说话时，就能感受到自己身体里对某些陌生人的敌意，仿佛脑袋里有一个邪恶小人，有一个善良小人，有时邪恶小人说话声音比较大。然而很多情况都是假想而已。净空法师也说“害人之心不可有，防人之心也不必有”，仔细体会，这个道理真实不虚。处于戒备的心会非常疲惫。智慧的人会对周遭的一切看清楚，不去刻意的防备，而是抱着慈悲之心和众人相处，化腐朽为神奇。
- Sometimes cannot help comparing myself to other people. But happiness relying on comparison is very easy to be eliminated, because there are always better things. The good news is that I no longer avoid to observe the unhealthy thoughts. for example, at the moment I heard a friend went to a better university than I did, negative feeling came to me first, I accept that this sort of feeling is part of dark side of humanity. Then I started to think of why I would have negative thought, what was the negative effect of the thought.
- Then the problem is stranded, I don't know what to do further with it. At least I can control over my thoughts and feelings after some minutes they exist, but I shall do more to move to a better solution.
Friday
- I did suspect that the social network like facebook, renren and mircoblog have stolen our time. The problem is true but it still benefit us a lot. e.g. I keep in touch with my family and friends; I get to know some great masters through facebook, and they use the social network to teach students;people use social network to advocate justice.
- A reasonable solution is to measure the time we spend on social network but not to abandon it; and why not send your good words and wishes to your friends? When I see people complain and post meaningless words through facebook, I do realized that the character (positive/negative) of an object depends on people's attitude. So I just started to learn from my Master, to post words/pics of real goodness and meaningful.
- Finished watching 弟子规 vedio by 蔡礼旭老师，shall go through it later and practice, 学问在于实践just do it:)
Saturday
- 第三次讀了凡四訓。這次看看自己有沒有新的收穫。
- 抄寫了一遍弟子規。發現自己寫字有些問題，為什麼不能把筆記本放端正呢？當我把筆記本放端正，感覺態度也端正了一些
