MID – AUTUM FESTIVAL on 4 October 2009

By David Summers

我在中秋節的經驗是極之美好。我愛77號佛臨道。成為一個龐大的快樂家庭的一份子是多美妙。［　王］大師說的話對我來說意義很多，我希望我可以多來，成為一份子，甚至參與佛教社團。　王大師的教導是那種一隻耳進去，永遠不會從另一隻耳朵出來的［那種教導］。祂們是智慧和意義深邃的話語。

My experience at the MID – AUTUM FESTIVAL has been amazing. I love it at 77 Collins Street. It is great to be a part of one big happy family. Things that were said by Master meant a lot to me and I wish to come more and be apart and more involved in the Buddhist community. The teachings of Master Wang are the sorts of words that go through one ear and never come out. They are words of wisdom and meaning.

王大師的說話的意義，對我來說，意思是我們全部人都是一起的，我們的目標是互相生活之中獲得快樂，並成為一體，一起和諧地生活。　大師也說我們分享美味的月餅，象徵和諧，這種聖緣把我們連結在一起。這正是節日的意義之所在，與那些愛您的人在一起，而在我認識您們佛教團體裡的人的那麼多時間以來，我慢慢愛上了您們，　王大師、佛聖、Caroline、佛臨，以及您們之中，所有向我顯示仁慈的人，對我施予幫助的人。我相信，在佛教社團裡，我有機會在美好的［人們之中，而這些人，廣義來說，是我的］朋友和家人。而且，我有機會找到我自己，有樂趣和在〝家庭〞中的快樂。

The meaning of Master Wang’s words to me meant that we are all together and we aim to be happy in one another and to be one, and all in harmony together. Master also said that we share the delicious moon cakes as a sign of harmony and being and bring us all together. As that is what the festival is all about, being with those who you love and over the time that i have known you all at the Buddhist community I have come to love all of you, Master Wang, Buddhaholy, Caroline, Collins and all of you who have shown a kindness to me that has been a great help to me.
I believe that at the Buddhist community I have the chance to be among great friends and family. And I have the chance to be myself and have fun and be happy within the family.

我享受這個節日，特別是《開元聖鼓》和《聖密法獅》，我時時都享受點睛，讓獅子可以飛上天空。月餅在可愛的罐裡，我的家人將會在非常特別的場合，使用來盛非常特別的東西。月餅是非常美味，［我］盼望與我的家人分享，並且與茶一起來享受。因為傳統而言，就是如此來品嚐祂。

I enjoyed the festival and in particular the drums and symbols, and the lion dance, I always enjoy dotting the eyes so the lions can fly off to the skies. The moon cakes were in lovely tins that my family will use for very special things and occasions. The cakes themselves were so tasty and look forward to sharing them with my family and have them with tea. As that is what they are traditionally served with.

在我的禮物袋裡有兩本書［指法本］，我會閱讀而且會非常仔細地學習。Caroline已經提議了會幫助我，如果我對書本裡任何地方不懂，我就寫在一本小簿子裡，然後交給Caroline，她會解釋給我聽。我但願尋找到快樂的中心點，［但願］能夠快樂，我感到佛教是生命的道路，祂是快樂的道路。我希望，我能在我繁忙的時間之中及時抽出時間來參加修持班。

In my bag of presents there were two books that I am reading and shall study very carefully. Caroline has offered me help so if I don’t understand anything in that book I write it in a little note book and hand it to Caroline and she will explain to me. I wish to find the center of happiness and be happy and I feel that Buddhism is a way of life and it is a way of happiness. I hope that in time I will be able to get time into my busy schedule for the meditation lessons.

感謝您，　王大師和每一個人，［感謝］您們邀請［我］來到節日，我盼望參與佛教社團裡其祂即將來臨的活動。如果您要找我講話，或要求我幫助，請讓我知道。

Thank You Master Wang and everybody for your invitation to the festival I look forward to upcoming events in the Buddhist community. Please let me know if you want to talk to me or ask of me any favour.

愛您們所有人

LOVE YOU ALL
