continued - "en, thank you very much. If you see this video, I wish you live a happy life."

continued - "I have been talking about this every day. I have built up this habit of talking about gratefulness in my old practice days. Today, it is Gautama's birthday, also known as Śākyamuni. In memory of this day, I share my feelings and thoughts with everyone. I will keep on being grateful. This gratefulness will turn into a motivation to face life in a positive way, to have an open mind, to face everything.

continued - "so to practice is the only way to testify a theory. Ok, then we just go to learn what Buddhism is about. So I will build up a small platform, share some books I have read, there are teachers of mine here too, many friends in this platform. I personally think there is answers for everything. Just like Einstein said that the only religion in future that can explain the science is Buddhism.

continued - "since I am not a master, I do not have to build a temple. But I want to build a website using today's technology, which I have been thinking for 4-5 years. I hope to build a website which provides the space for people to share the experience of life, or to seek the truth of life. A scientific attitude is that do not just believe things in blind or just deny things in blind. If I do not even know that is it about, I will deny it, this is another type of superstition.

[franklinehu]

continued - "But what is Buddhism really about? why so many people still believe it for more than 2000 years? there are scientists, writers, Kings, social elites and to common people who believed Buddhism. After 10 years of leaning Buddhism and think about it, I personally turn myself from a self-centered Jet Li gradually into a person who faces life with an open, positive attitude and who is also willing to share the happiness with others

[franklinehu]

continued - "I will return the care I have received to other people. Just like many people, Buddhism seems to me is a superstition, or negative, or just a comfort for your psychic, or a temporary shelter for your pains, or world-weary. All those feelings to Buddhism is instilled by other people to me from very young.

continued - "for the 10 years of leaning Buddhism, I have many teachers or masters I am very grateful to. Their accumulated teachings has shaped my thoughts today. Be grateful to Buddhism is the start or the reason. Without being grateful to Buddhism, I will not be able to realize that I should be grateful to so many people in my life. I will turn this gratitude gratefulness into an action of altruism, a responsibility of mine to devote myself to this society. "

continued - "if a person is a prince, that is almost perfect. You have power, fame, money, everything. But even him as a prince, he had endless pains, never mind we common people. So he practiced 6 years of Tapasya and finally found the way to be out of the pains. I am very eager to know two things. 1st thing is why as a prince he still has pains? 2nd what is the way to get out of pains.
