Chapter 9 - You raise me up to more than I can be

Mar.2nd, 2023, Wednesday.

If you want my tears come out, just play this song.

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary

When troubles come and my heart burdened be

Then, I am still and wait here in the silence

Until You come and sit awhile with me.

… You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

...

… You raise me up to more than I can be.

There is a person, who is very very important in my life. He is my teacher, Chen Danqing. If I feel compassion for all sentient beings who have no predestined relationship, it must be because of my teacher's great help to me for 20 years without any reciprocation, and silent care, encouragement, and support for Mikey and me. He is a bright light in my life, illuminating my heart and guiding me on the way forward.

Saroy said I can't cry for any man in the world. No, if my teacher is gone, I will cry in my own home and in my heart, I don't think I can stop my tears, I hope my teacher has a long life, and I hope he can go to the Western Paradise when he leaves.

Two weeks before, I asked my teacher and aunt to accompany me to drink morning tea, but he told me that he could not come because he would fall easily now, and he told me that his daughter would cook and send meals to his home every day. My teacher is more than 80 years old now.

I miss my teacher, I hope I can go to have morning tea with my teacher very soon.

Sadhu Sadhu Sadhu!
