  This is my first year being the member of the Buddha Jewel monastery, I give thank to Buddha Dharma because it helps me a lot in my life.

 To me, being a Buddhist practitioner is a real challenge. Because I have to accept all the responsibility of all wrong actions I made in my life. But something that makes me happy is all the teaching I receive from those excellent masters and teachers let me understand the Buddha way and my direction.

 I know if I study the Dharma and do more practices, I will pay my Karma debts which are the sufferings I brought to many sentient beings and myself.

 I also know that I have to do my homework every day and work hard on my practices to obtain my illumination – Buddha nature. By doing so, I can find all the answers to solve my problems.

 I would like to give thanks to all masters and teachers for all the methods and the Dharmas we received.
