Originally I just wanted to write about my own feelings and others’ stories, but as I wrote, Ifound that while I had written a lot, I had also forgotten quite a lot. As a person who is on the path of practice, I always expect to express some ideas, but they are just my own understanding. I have been in the bustling city for quite some years, and the people I met as well as the things I saw would provide me with a lot of practice opportunities. In the temple, what I read is the truth, while in the city, what I see is reality. No matter where we are, as long as we aspire to practice Buddhism, everywhere can become a right location for practice. So I am always ready to share my thoughts, however small they are, with my friends. Then some of my friends who feel the same with me should like me to have the thoughts compiled so that they can share them with more friends, which is the cause of this book.
