Book Synopsis
The author’s mother practiced Buddhism, often taking him to temples to worship the Buddha, eat vegetarian food, and do volunteer work. This experience created a karmic connection between him and Buddhism from a young age. Through these early encounters, he gradually realized that one must believe in the Buddha, study the Dharma, and cultivate practice.
Guided by his master’s compassion, the author later traveled to visit and learn from the four great Buddhist mountains of China. He then journeyed to Eastern Europe, Western Europe, the United Kingdom, and Australia for photography expeditions. Through these travels, his worldview and level of cultivation were greatly elevated. In September 2025, he came to the United States to pay respects to his teacher, while also studying and visiting.
This book is a collection of original poems of reflection and insight composed by the author Yongfei Ma in his years of practice following his master.
