To Who Do I Speak Dharma To

Tell you a secret.

While I have done almost 70 FB Lives (that’s about 600 minutes of videos) in the past three years, I still get stage fright and very nervous before the camera rolled every time.

But in life, there are many things that you cannot wait till you have the courage before you do it. You just have to do it.

My initial motivation for doing Lives came from you. I was hoping that you would get to know me better, like me and believe my words, so that you will be willing to use Chinese Metaphysics and Buddhism to transfor and establish your own destiny.

Of course there were praises and criticism. Of course there were bitterness and joy.

Two years ago, I started editing my Lives to be uploaded on YouTube. That got me new audience and new clients. My days became busier.

I am an introvert by nature and do not like socialising. Yet if I only do things based on whether I like it or not, I will never have any breakthrough in my entire life.

Lives are my tools to deliver sentient beings. I cherish them very much. There were times when I felt too exhausted and did not want go on camera, in fear that the audience would find me looking tired. There were times when after Feng Shui audits, I would be soaked in perspiration and my makeup had melted, but I would still go Live with a smile and clarified the doubts of readers.

Because I had made a vow before. Towards my Grandmaster. Towards my Shifu. For my deceased grandmother. For my parents. Time is running out for me, so hurry I must.

Someone laughed at me, that Lives are getting passé and I should not be wasting them on that. Another one critiqued that modern people only delight in the pleasures of Life, so why am I being an old fad, preaching virtues and doing good?

But I have a vow carved in my soul.

Even if there is only a single person watching, I would still do it. For that one person may turn out to be a strong pillar of Buddhism, or a big contributor in our society.

Do you know speaking the Dharma to whom is the most difficult?

To my own family.

Today I share the Dharma to your family who may be watching my Lives. Perhaps, maybe, with the minuscule merits I generated, I may be able to exchange for my family being able to comprehend the Dharma one day, and sincerely welcome the True Buddha to reside in their hearts, opening up the pathway to eternal bliss and be free from sufferings.

Yesterday, we finalised on an experienced Taiwanese video editor to help me edit my 3 years of Lives into a Youtube video, so that I can finally upload a video weekly. In the last two months, I only managed to put up one video, and there were an increase in 38 subscribers. *cries

Just for thee, thou shalt buy less clothes, so that thou can pay for the video editor. *heroic sacrificing

I am excited yet apprehensive. And I hope you will like the upcoming videos.

Thank you for staying with me all these years. It is really, truly great to have you. I have the opportunity to cultivate good fortune and merits because of your presence. If all of you become more virtuous and proactive in doing good, then this lifetime of mine will be worth the gamble after all. 😄
