Glimpses from Memories
-Rishi Nepal
I live in Kapan of Kathmandu. It was a
great step for my life which helped me to face realities of life and to solve
mingles of good and bad. The result was my life, which was almost going to
wrong direction got a light to go in good direction.
It was 1999 October 29, when I still
didn't know meaning of 'Han Te Temple'; I went to a local home to receive Dao
without knowledge and Understanding. I have been there with my introducer
Ramesh Parajuli and Guarantor Binod Lama. I didn't have any feeling, no any
wish I went there. I didn't have Dao knowledge and no any local seniors to
clarify it with me. Even in that situation after 1 year, The seniors from Taiwan
Incident
No.1. A feeling of 'Temple
In beginning days, sometime I felt why
everyday I need to go temple. So one day I decided to for Movie. After morning
meal, I headed for Cinema hall. So I didn't go temple. Inside heart a feeling
was there that temple senior sisters may say something. But I still went for
movie. I reached to Cinema hall and queued for ticket. But unfortunately,
almost in my turn, the ticket was over. I was very sad. I thought,' Let's go to
friend's home.' But he was also outside. Finally I was very upset and reached
temple. I thought,' I m fit for this place.'
Incident
No.2. Family Obstruction
Often from temple we needed to go many
places for Dao propagation. In those days I, Prakash, Binod and Manoj generally
walk together for Dao propagation. Once I met one my cousin brother on the way
when I was carrying a container having the Dao receiving materials. He probably
said this with my mother. My mother Bombarded many questions over me. Questions
were as such: What you get by carrying those bags? How much money you earn from
that? Will they make your future? And other questions were also there. I didn't
reply. Just I continued the work. But now I am very happy because my mother
also likes to walk same path which I walked. Then I feel, Yes! Dao has
something, which always inspired me to go on forward.
Incident
No. 3. Expression of happiness from Father unknowingly
Actually,
my father is very strict Hindu. He wished his children as his successor. No any
parents want their child walk in other path than they wish. One day, Guru
Tseng, Lecturer Chen and Lecturer Joseph came to my home. Coincidently, my
father was also at home (It is almost impossible to meet him in daytime.) Guru
and my father had had long talk. During talking, father said," It is
always nice to learn good things. I am very happy for their learning good
things. And I haven't stopped them to learn that." I took this sentence as
his acceptance to my Dao learning.
The words of Master Tseng," When a
person understands: Why a person goes to wrong path? Who can be his best
friend? What are my habits? Am I bringing my friend to a wrong path? Are my behaviors
and speech correct? Then only he can go to correct path" are the sentences
of guidance for my life and I am trying to realize it. Even nowadays also, when
I remember these words, in my heart I always feel fear and search of truth in
my life.
It has been more than ten years for me
to enter Han Te Temple. During these years, I had chances to meet many people.
These meetings had given me a feeling that now environment and people's
understanding has been changed. I feel that the journey forward is more difficult.
The road of Dao cultivation for me from single life to life with family was
more difficult for me. But I believe, the path of cultivation will be continued
by overcoming the obstacles even in speed of Turtle. I am very grateful to all my seniors who
corrected my mistakes and helped me to go forward. Thanks go Ji gong Teacher
for choosing me to work for God.
