Dhammavihari Pabbajja 2015

This Pabajja was slightly different from the previous one. Ashin Kheminda teaches anapanasati from the very basic, starting from scanning 4 elements in our bodies, before he asked students to do anapanassati. And he gave a very comprehensive and systematic instruction on how to do anapanasati.
Everyday, he gave only limited instructions, as if he is following each of our progress, making it easy to follow, easy to understand, because we have practiced, improved and experienced it. Each day, we go deeper and deeper as our mindfulness and stillness get stronger. There is no surprise that many of us succeed in getting into samadhi. 

Ashin Kheminda also made himself available for every difficulties that we faced, there's no question that is too trivial to answer. He ensures to clear our doubts and troubles in meditation.

Also, in Chan Forest, the weather and the environment really suitable for meditation. Its nature and serenity does make us relax, which is very important in anapanasati meditation.

And I would like to express my gratitude to all the volunteer that have assisted us in our retreat, without your saddha (faith) and metta (love) we wouldn't be able to practice in ease.

Last but not least, I bow to our teacher Ashin Kheminda, for having the metta to teach us the precious teaching of Buddha as pure as stated in Tripitaka and its commentaries. Thank you.

我这次短期出家的经验跟上次稍有不同。Ashin Kheminda從非常基礎的階段開始教起，他要求我们，先從扫描我们身体的4个元素開始，才做安那般那念。他的教導非常全面而有系统。每天，他只會给我們一點進階的指令，就好像他是根據我们的每一个进步來指導，讓禪修變得更容易進行與理解，因为我们已经有了实修经驗。 

每一天，我们的層次都變得更深，也进入了更强的正念 和寂静之中。难怪，我们很多人已成功达到了三摩地. Ashin Kheminda 总能提供知無不言的谘询。舉凡是我们面临的每一个困难，每一个琐细的问题他都可以回答，以确保我們可以解除禅修的疑虑和烦恼。

此外，在禅森林，它的天气和环境也很适合我们坐禅,那裡的特质与宁静确实让我们放松身心，这也是安那般那念重要的因素之一.  

这儿, 我也想对所有义工朋友们表达我的諸多感谢與感恩。没有你们的saddha（信仰）和metta（慈爱），我们就无法這麼自在地禪修。 

最后,也是最重要的是，我要合十禮敬我们的老师 Ashin Kheminda，感恩您慈悲教導我们佛所宣說的宝贵大藏經教法。谢谢。感恩。
