台湾游 - 第二集 [慈济发祥地-精舍] ~ Taiwan Travel - 2nd Episod [Jing She]

夜阑人静，我们大伙儿暂时把那兴奋的心情收拾收拾，然后，就在花莲静思堂入睡了。也不知睡了多久，听到有人在讲话的声音，心想，真么都好像没睡到就得起床了。我们赶紧换好衣服，就到大庭列好队，准备找上人去了。我们这团来自马来西亚慈济人，准备浩浩荡荡的往精舍出发了。这次，为了响应上人的叮咛，那就是，我们要减少“碳足迹”。所以啊，大家都同意我们从花莲静思堂，步行到精舍! 旅程大概是10公里左右吧。

After one night sleep at 'Jing Si Tang (JST)', our team had prepared to proceed to 'Jing She' to finf our master. JST is a place like for Tzu Chi community to organize their activities. 'Jing She' is the place where our master stay. It's a very nice place as I always heard from my 'parents' and other Tzu Chi members. Now, I know I have the chance to reach that place and take a close look to my master (Since I know her for more than 8 years and only see her through television).

In order to reduce the 'Carbon Footprint', our team decided to walk to 'Jing She' which has around 10 km distance from JST. It took us almost 2 hours to complete the journey. It's quite tired but feel satisfaction, according to some of my team mates.

那，我们那队伍浩荡长的慈青们，也从太阳还没出来就开始走了。我也在那时，见到我在台湾的第一道阳光，也是我在台湾见到的第一次日出！哈哈哈，实在太满足了！现在回忆起来，还真是蛮高兴的。好吧好吧。。。讲了那么多，该看看照片了。。。

我们开始从 4:30am 出发，终于在 6:45am 到精舍了。那时，上人也刚好要开始当天的志工早会！那会议是让上人跟台湾各地的职工代表们见面，和让他们汇报所发生重要的事件。当天刚好是慈济发放的第42年纪念日，3 月24日！上人也非常欢喜的见到我们，也称赞马来西亚的慈济人，非常用心的跟随让人的教诲，努力减少碳足迹，不乘坐巴士，稳稳健健的步行到精舍。

　

我呢，本身平时都是非常爱幻想的。古怪思想的我，居然自我天马行空，想象自己虽然没有机会生在2500年前佛陀的时代，没有机会好像唐三藏那样，有缘到西方见到佛陀取经。但，这次，想想上人就是好像当时的佛陀那样啊！当时的佛陀，也应该是整天的在说法，然后有很多四方大德去拜见他。今天的上人也就是那样嘛，来自各地方的人，天天都有不同的人来拜访上人，上人也每天开示和说法，我仿佛就好像身在2500年前的雷音寺那样，很靠近佛陀！

Look at the second picture, our team has finally reached 'Jing She' after around 2 hours walk. The second last picture is the 'Jing She'. Is it very clean? :) The last picture is the small woden house. That's the place that my master stayed during her young time. She stayed in this woden house alone and decided to study buddhist. All other masters including my master practice is, they don't use the money contributed from others. They will working themselves for earning their daily expenses and meal. That's why, the 4th picture show the masters actually growth their own vegetables at their vegetable farm as the food for their meals everyday.
