In school, the principal and the teachers
set rules for the students to follow. At home,
father and mother also set rules for life
etiquette. For example, when we get up in the
morning, we have to say "good morning" to
our parents, brothers and sisters; when we go
to sleep at night, we have to say "good night"
to everyone. In daily activities, we have to say
"please," "thank you," and "sorry ." We have
to politely greet others, and so on.
Arriving at the temple, we must observe
the Buddha¡¦s etiquette. The teachers have
now taught us how to offer towels, basic
movements (bowing, kneeling, kowtowing,
rising and stepping back), the rituals for
arriving and leaving, the daily, monthly
and semimonthly rituals. "The Arrival and
Departure Ritual" is a way to communicate
with the Buddha when arriving or leaving a
shrine. If there are Masters present, we also
have to perform the ritual to show our respect
for their Heavenly Decree. Ritual for worship
is what the I-Kuan Tao members must do
every day. We must perform the movements
with concentration, sincerely and deliberately.
The teachers will also teach us the Offering
Ritual, the Invitation Ritual and the Tao
Transmission Ritual. I like learning these
rituals, to become a courteous person.
I am going to share my feelings about
the topic Tao-songs attainment. The first song
we learned was called "Offering". "Offering"
means "donating" or "giving". Whenever I
sing the song "Offering", it makes me think
about how the biography teacher led us into
the path of virtue of all living things. I think
about the Masters have offered their time
and money to pass the Tao to other people.
On Sunday, many members wash, cut and
cook the vegetables in the kitchen. They are
offering their cooking skills and time. People
cleaning the hall for worshipping Buddha are
offering their labor force and time. Therefore,
I have been thinking recently, what can I offer
to my father and mother. What can I offer to
the hall for worshipping Buddha.
The second song we sung which I like
pg_0003
is called "The Vison". In the lyrics of this
song , my favorite part is, "Who can step
over difficulty, who can fly over depressions,
who can see the future, who can dream while
thinking, God¡¦s heart gives hope, you must
have the vision at heart, oh, you must have
the vision at heart." I learned from this song
that no matter how many difficulties you may
encounter in the future or no matter sad you
are, don¡¦t give up and set our vision as far as
possible.
The third song we learned
"Bodhisattva¡¦s Heart", the fourth song we
learned is called "Mother¡¦s Hand." and the
fifth song is "Circles". These songs are very
pleasant to hear. I am very happy and grateful
for the teachers in the young teenagers¡¦ class
for teaching us these songs, the lyrics of the
songs are very meaningful. I am very happy
when I sing them.
From reviewing etiquette, I have learned
to respect Buddha and elders. In learning Tao
songs, I have also absorbed a lot of teachings.
I am very thankful of the teachers in the
temple who work hard to teach us. I will
continue learning to expand my studies in the
temple so I can become a useful person.
