I have undergone a very different but meaningful route in my life which many people will describe as hard, difficult or rough times.

I was diagnosed as late stage, cancer patient during late last year. This gave a very big fright and sadness to my family. There is no such case in our family history and no signs of sickness from me as well before this shocking announcement.

But I am very calm, not afraid nor in despair when the doctor announced the bad news and able to comfort my family. I also start to see life in different perspectives and real truths during the next few months.

I am very grateful that I am not in pain. I am able to practise buddhism (more hardworking than before) in terms of chanting and short time meditation during this period of time. I felt very quiet and serenity, rejoice and blissful at all times.

When I am in good and energetic, I can do some painting as well.

During this period of time, I have went through chemotherapy, surgery and will be going for radiology soon. All results have turned up good news so far.

I like to OMAK to my family, parents, in-laws, siblings and Buddha for their love, care and patience to me. Also thankful to the helper, nurses, doctors as well as all sentient beings for the help that are extended to me all this time.

I like to dedicate merits of the above ten realms painting to all BW temple shifus, buddhist class teachers, working staffs, volunteers, donors, parents and children.
May all sentient beings stayed safe and healthy !

Without your wisdom and compassion, I would not be who I am today. Thank you so much for the constant support and rejoice for all the virtuous deeds you have continuously done for all sentient beings. Definitely not forgetting 师父&老师 for giving me such a blessing and that I am really really a fortunate Buddhist of fortunate karma!
