Today is July 14 in the Chinese lunar calendar and fasting and praying have officially started. Since I posted the article “Cherish Our Compatriots with Pious Mind” in my blog, friends and students from all circles of our society responded enthusiastically and have begun the alms deeds which make me feel honored and extremely grateful!

All men ever born are my brothers; therefore we should united together through thick and thin and stand together regardless of situation. Isn’t that just as it should be, for us to stand together regardless of situation? Isn’t this is the way to spread philanthropy? I hereby sincerely beg you to always be philanthropic!

In a few days, it will be my birthday, which was the hardest day for my mother. These days, my students and friends from all walks of life have sent me congratulations with complete sincerity. My gratitude is beyond words! I hereby offer you my deepest respects. I will use up all my flesh and blood for all flesh and for you!!!

Ten years of the sorrow of parting and longing! I miss you very much, my friends and students. I am eager to see you, but, due to the current situation, we are still under suspicion. In order to minimize interference from the authorities, I would like to ask my friends, disciples and students from all walks of life who cannot come to the birthday party not to hold additional celebrations for my birthday during the fasting period this month. Please donate money and goods saved from these celebrations to our compatriots who suffered from the disastrous flood. Please send donations to “Heart of Mercy” whose blog address is http://blog.sina.com.cn/u/1794225225 and specify the use for your donation.

The almsgivers and receivers are both blessed! On August 18th of the Chinese lunar calendar, my heart will go out to you and join the beneficence. I will propose a toast to your health; to our joyful reunion and being covered with sweet dharma-rain!

 

 

今日农历七月十四，逥向辟谷正式开始了。自“心香一瓣济同胞”发表后，各界朋友和学生们踊跃响应，且已启动济护同胞之善行善举，吾欣喜非常，感念万分！

四海之内，凡我同胞，如手如足，理当甘苦同尝、风雨同舟。此乃绍隆人间之大爱也，心宇诚请诸位一如既往，永施博爱！

再过几日便是吾之母难日，连日来，各地学子及各界朋友纷纷发来贺电，挚情至诚，我之感激无以言表，在此顶礼诸位，吾将穷尽骨血逥向众生，逥向诸位！！！

十载离愁，十载思念！吾也刻骨思念诸位，更期一晤以诉衷情，然时势之所制，吾等此时仍处遭忌之中，为安各方故，请未能赴会之各界朋友及诸弟子学子于同行逥忏辟谷之期，无需另行为吾祝贺生辰，将所省之钱物济与受灾受困同胞，可汇与“慈悲的心”：

 施受同幸，无量功德！十八当日吾将汇为善海一滴，与诸位同行。并举杯遥祝诸位安吉，同沫法雨，同庆相逢！！
