Trip back to Kwang Wai Shui Hospital 返回广惠肇留医院

I returned to Kwang Wai Shui Hospital on 29 Jul 08. Kwang Wai Shui is the place where I first started my charity activities with Tzu Chi.

我在七月二十九日回到广惠肇留医院,我开始参加慈济活动的起点。

Many things had changed over the course of a year. Guo Xiang SG is no longer in charge, passing the baton over to Ming Feng SJ. Some of the elderly passed away, some moved, some new faces appeared.

一年过去了,人事已非。国香师姑不再是领队,改为鸣凤师姐带领。一些老菩萨往生了,一些老菩萨搬走了,一些新的老菩萨出现了。

Looking at all the elderly, I recalled all their suffering, the lost of limbs, the lost of mobility, the lost of privacy. They are not speaking or making any sounds but teaching me an important lesson of life.

看着老菩萨,我回想起他们的痛苦,截止之痛、行动不便之痛、失去隐私之痛。老菩萨正在为我无声地说法。

I realised that I have forgotten how fortunate I am.

我发现我忘了我其实是多么的幸福。
