Seeing Master Ming again, he is middle-aged.
In the past, an ignorant teenager met Ming Qishi in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. At that time, he was only eighteen or nineteen years old. Ming Qishi was already the head teacher of the Berlin Zen Temple. Master Ming Qi led him into the world of Buddhism, showed him Buddhist books, and led him to take refuge in the Three Jewels of Buddhism, Dharma, and Sangha, as a lay disciple of Master Jinghui.
In the blink of an eye, twenty-three years have passed. The old boy has gray temples, and when he reaches middle age, he has experienced the vicissitudes of life, and he has not changed his original intention. Ming Qi Shi, who was cute and honest in the past, still has a loud voice, but his legs and feet are a little inconvenient. When he comes back, he is still sincere and simple, but the inner is no longer simple; the outer is still sinister and selfish, but the inner is detached and grateful.
Master Ming Qi has been preaching the Dharma for 20 years as one day, and his interests are predestined. Talking about too many complex social phenomena, all of them are caused by selfishness, and they are underestimated; encourage students to diligently cultivate morality, concentration and wisdom, and cut off self-sustaining delusions; in life, there should not be too much success or failure in life, otherwise, it will be rejected. Contaminated, uncomfortable. The words "very good" are the words most often used by his elders, and his mind is calm and relaxing.
Brother Ming 㠭 came with sincerity and full of joy. He presented his "One Heart Chanting Buddha", which was specially carved for Tiefo Temple, to the temple, and took a group photo with Master Ming Qi as a souvenir.
Ming Qi Shi has not forgotten to care about the operation of the Art Society and the livelihood of art practitioners. We have given answers to our work one by one. I wish him good health and longevity, and I hope we can do more for Buddhism.
Yi Ji, in Dongguang Tiefo Temple, Cangzhou.
