前幾天，我上山閉關三天，受了在家菩薩戒。

當我回到山上，看到來自全台灣甚至遠從海外（竟然還有澳洲和義大利😳）來參與的戒子們，齊聚一堂，法會現場莊嚴肅穆的氣氛已經深深籠罩著每個人。

戒會開始之前，我有幸和來自德州禪寺的師兄聊了聊。他分享了在地球另一端禪修的經驗，讓我倍感神奇。
談話中，我不禁好奇，佛經中的一些詞彙該如何用英文表達？像「菩薩戒」就是「Bodhisattva Precepts」——其實就是梵文的英譯。🤓
更讓我感動的是，他不辭千里，飛行了16小時只為參加這次戒會，結束後馬上又得再飛回去，光是這份決心，已經讓我肅然起敬。

短短的四天三夜，每一天都帶給我深刻的啟發。從每次與大眾一起有序入堂的靜默，到專心唱誦經文的當下，感受到引禮師、引贊師父及義工們護持的心念。
每一堂菩薩戒課，法師都深入淺出地解釋著六重二十八輕的在家戒律。
以世俗的眼光看，這些戒律似乎像層層框架，限制著生活的自由。然而，這真的是戒律的本意嗎？

當然不是。

戒律的本意，其實是幫助我們拔除習氣，逐步找回清淨的本性。戒律的形式不變，但我們的心境與視野卻可以變得更開闊。

「用心去看，才能真正看清楚。」

唯有如此，才能漸漸理解明心見性，體悟見性成佛的真正意義。

這也是我在戒會中體悟到的一點，在最大的限制中，往往藏著最大的自由。
當身心平靜，心性便得以自由流動，無論身在何處，心境都能如流水般自然從容。

燃香供佛的那一刻，我見到了許久不見的見探法師。回想十多年前還在南港普覺精舍時，我曾作為他的侍者，如今再見，竟然是他親自為我燃香，這份因緣讓我感到深深的奇妙與感恩 🥹

正授戒體的最後一天，4000名戒子在同一空間中，莊嚴的氛圍震撼人心。見勉師父在台上提到，優婆塞（夷）的種姓是生生世世的。過去生、未來生的我們，都是菩薩，而此刻，正是因緣具足，找回我們內在菩薩種子的時候。

那一刻，我相信每位即將成為菩薩的師兄，都將度眾生的使命深深烙印在心中。✨ by @thepatrickhuang

在清邁每走幾步都會有一間廟，
最具有魔幻氣息還是位在清萊的白廟和藍廟
遠觀白廟看起來像是燃燒中的白火焰，
仔細看才發現建築邊緣跟許多細節都鑲滿了鏡面
#但我卻一直想到著色本😂

藍廟的裡裡外外都讓我歎為觀止，宛如置身異度空間
#感覺阿凡達會騎著水龍出現

但真正讓人感受到平靜的是其他散佈在清邁週邊的古寺廟，像是在隧道裡的悟孟寺(Wat Umong)
跟座落在鬱鬱森林中的帕拉寺（Wat Pha Lat），
安靜的在歲月裡照見五蘊皆空😌

在帕辛寺散步的時候經過這個角落覺得好像古董店
忍不住問這位僧侶是否能夠讓我拍張照片

沒想到他親切微笑著點頭答應～
感恩讚嘆
是這次旅行最喜歡的照片之一🤩
Khob khun kruuuuub🙏🏻

要從BED Changkian Hotel退房那天早上
和旅伴偷閒在餐廳悠閒喝著咖啡
隔壁桌一位高瘦男子站著與用餐客人閒聊著

我看著他想說天啊：他也太像賈伯斯了吧！

沒想到隔壁桌離開後
男子就跑來跟我們聊天
我忍不住對著他說: omg you looks like Steve Jobs！
他往後仰天大笑說：他沒這麼偉大啦～

但沒想到原來他是BED的老闆🫡

與我們閒聊是想知道飯店有沒有需要加強的地方
我和旅伴忍不住誇讚他們員工友善至極的服務態度及每天提供好吃的泰式早餐

賈伯斯眼中透露著驕傲的神情說著公司沒有特別去訓練這些員工，唯一的要求就是員工如果上班當天的心情不佳，就自動放假吧～

而且老闆也不吝嗇的大方誇讚自己員工
在這種指導方針下的飯店員工服務熱心又周到就像是自己的好朋友一樣

我想這就是服務業的真諦了吧
從自己的內心出發，傳遞正向的感受給客人☺️✨

後來騎單車在附近繞繞，
經過傳統市場熱情打招呼也得到拉長音的熱情回應
轉角見到好大一尊粉色象神，
旁邊就是Wat Chang Khian🙏🏻
裏頭好多狗狗曬太陽

也是美好的一天💖

一直很想念好久以前在柬埔寨隨性旅遊的狀態
沒有任何對目的地的執念
就只是帶著一顆純粹且開放的好奇心去感受異地的風俗民情
終於這次在清邁又找回這樣的感受🥹

出發前Betty跟我說清邁有奇特的電線桿景觀
沒想到親眼看到之後，覺得也太驚人了吧🤯
好喜歡這種不修邊幅到自成一格的美感😂

跟著旅伴在巷弄間散步總是能看見許多花花草草饒富生命力的包圍著建築與周圍狂放的電線形成自己的生態系（？）

非常隨性自然就像溫和親切的清邁人吧☺️

I’ve always missed that carefree way of travelling I experienced ages ago in Cambodia.
No need to stay with any particular destination, just rolling with pure, open curiosity and soaking up the local vibes.
Finally, this trip to Chiang Mai, I’ve found that feeling again.

Before I left, friend mentioned the quirky power poles in Chiang Mai.
But, wtf🤣 seeing them in person was something else!
I’ve got to say, I’m really into that rough around the edges, unique kind of beauty(?)

Wandering through the alleyways with my travel mate, we kept coming across all sorts of vibrant plants, thriving alongside those wild power lines, creating their own little ecosystem (or something like that?).
It’s all so effortlessly natural, just like the warm and friendly people in Chiang Mai.🤗🇹🇭✨ taken in Chiang Mai, Thailand by @thepatrickhuang

感謝阿強老師John Jhang給予的機會讓我有榮幸可以回母校鳳林國中以學長的身份分享我在澳洲的冒險與成長經驗。（被人稱呼黃老師的感覺好害羞🤣

也因為要準備講座的內容，再度回顧了自己在澳洲的各種磨練、幸運、危機與成長。
其實很多正向的際遇都是在我願意保持開放與學習的心態出現，另外保持善良的心也是一定要的💖

覺得人生實在是太奇妙了。
真的是滿謝謝年輕的自己勇敢決定離開台灣，再另一片土地找到屬於自己的位置🥹

在講座的最後，鼓勵年輕的學弟妹們對未來要有更多的想像，而不是被當下的環境所侷限，努力的踏出舒適圈吧～✌🏼🤣

就連我自己今天又踏出了舒適圈，在一群學生和老師們面前演講連續講兩堂真的是滿不容易的一件事。當老師真的好不簡單，respect🫡

Yesterday, I had the honor of returning to my old school, Feng-lin Junior High, to share my adventure and growth in Australia to young students.

Preparing for this lectures made me reflect on all the ups and downs, luck, crises, and growth I’ve experienced in Australia. 🦘

There were many positive encounters that happened when I kept open mind and a willingness to learn. Also, being kind always helps too 💖

Life is amazing. I’m really thankful to my younger self for bravely deciding to leave Taiwan long time ago and finding my place in a new land 🥹

At the end of the talk, I encouraged the young students to imagine a future beyond their current environment and to step out of their comfort zones. Let’s goooo. 🚀🤣

Even today, I stepped out of my comfort zone by giving back-to-back lectures in front of students and teachers. Being a teacher is such a difficult task. Much respect 🫡

A big shoutout to my teacher for offering me this opportunity! by @thepatrickhuang

Recently I’ve started to create a repetitive list for my everyday small tasks. Whenever I complete a task, I mark it off with a satisfying check mark ✅. This idea was inspired by a recent Jay Shetty podcast and was talk about motivation.

For instance, I’ve set a daily routine of meditating for 15-30 minutes daily (10 minutes after wake up & 20 mins before bed) . This not only helps me relax but also sets a positive tone for the hectic day. The sense of accomplishment I feel when I check off ‘Completed Meditation’ from my list is unparalleled.🥳

Additionally, I’ve decided to write a journal every night. This simple habit makes me appreciate the good things in life and reminds me that even on tough days, and also the things I learn from the day. Review and reflect then ticking off another small task at the end of each day brings a deep sense of satisfaction and tranquility.🪷

I often imagine myself full of passion and enthusiasm before completing a task or a project, but once I actually achieve it, I tend to undervalue its importance, treating it as something that was supposed to be done. This contrast sometimes makes me overlook the significance and the sense of achievement i should feel upon completing a task.

That’s why I’ve started to realize the importance of cherishing the moment of accomplishment. It’s these small successes, accumulated over time, that keep us going, instead of being overwhelmed by a never-ending to-do list. In this way, we find joy in completing tasks and learn to appreciate our efforts and achievements.🌟 by @thepatrickhuang

This week, I attend my first Toastmasters to enhance my public speaking skills, improve my English, and, crucially, boost my confidence.

Despite appearing confident, I often feel the opposite, struggling with self-doubt and procrastination, especially when facing new challenges or stepping out of my comfort zone.

My journey from Taiwan to Australia, grappling with language barriers and more responsibilities in different position, has been a gradual process of building confidence.

I’ve notice that:
confidence grows alongside “competence”.

It’s not just a feeling but something tangible that can be developed through consistent, intentional practice.

In recent months, I’ve committed to various things: regular gym visits, learning Italian, swing dance class, swimming lesson, website development, and writing blogs in English.
Now, I’ve added Toastmasters to this list.

This shift my focus from seeking confidence to actively participating and enjoying the process has been transformative.

At Toastmasters, I introduced myself without the usual nerves. The experience was empowering, and I’ve met some amazing people.

To those friends hesitating to start new ventures but feel insecure.
Confidence isn’t something you wait for, you can actually built it by keep putting effort and show up💪🏻

Hope to seeing my friends take the step and share different experience with me🤩 taken in Holloways Beach by @thepatrickhuang
