Finally, I have got time to set up the velvet backdrop, the lighting device, and the camera on tripod for these incense flowers that have stood over time since October 2014. Chong-Pin Lin March 9, 2015
終於有時間拉背景、打燈光、設腳架為從去年十月屹立至今的香花拍美術照。 林中斌 2015年3月9日
久違了，楊柳枝香花! 請見2014年12月31日恭念神咒迴給印尼海嘯亡靈所出現的一群香花。以及1986年6月26-28日在華府恭念觀音菩薩經咒迴向給他人所現的香花。
今早，恭讀華嚴經並完成80卷中之第二卷。
恭唸經咒迴向時所持快樂的念頭是：面臨網路中負面的匿名反應時，可用寬恕、謙卑、善意的言詞回答。高興的把握這練習寬恕的機會。因為發出負面的言詞反映他/她內心自我仇恨的外向化，也反映發信人活在仇恨惡劣的環境中，得不到溫暖、慈愛。如果我們能藉此機會讓他/她有不同的、舒適的、人性善良的感受，或許對他/她有些幫助。
何樂而不為。
林中斌，2015年3月8日 (先父33周年忌日)
Long time no see, willow branch incense flowers! One appeared on December 31, 2004 when I prayed for the tsunami victims. Many of them came on June 26-28 in Washngton DC when I prayed for others with Guanyin (Kuanyin) Bodhisatva sutras and mantras.
This morning, I finished reading the second of the 80 books on the Huanyan Sutra before I began reciting sutras and mantras in my daily practice with a happy thought about positively responding to negative anonymous internet messages.
"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. “Where there is hatred, let me sow love."(Saint Francis' Prayer) The rationale is this： those who send out negative internet massages anonymously in fact project outward their internal despair/hatred/conflict, as they live in such an environment devoid of kindness, warmth, and gentleness. If we could respond with courtesy, humility, and respect, they might have a glimpse of the light from heaven while sufffering in hell on earth.
Why not seize upon such an opportunity to make the day more worthwhile?
