2025《道傳慕尼黑 法喜映心扉》溫哥華道務中心 修辦心得

初遇緣起 夏日邂逅
2013年夏天，後學參加暑期交換課程，首次離開北美，踏上歐洲大陸。，因後學懇求父母-房眉生點傳師與許淑珍講師，陪伴完成大學畢業前的「夢想清單」。一路遊歷巴黎、布拉格，最終抵達慕尼黑。

在捷運站等待列車時，因語言不通而焦急無助。恰在此刻，一位金髮碧眼的女士以流利英文解釋廣播，她名叫 Nicole。自此緣分展開。她與先生 Thomas 帶我們遊覽名勝、品嚐美食，甚至邀宿家中。雖是初識，卻如久別重逢，臨別時淚眼相送，自此一別十二年。

相知相惜 道情延續
十二年間，雖未再見，卻持續關心彼此。疫情期間，溫哥華慈德佛堂開設英語線上讀書會，Nicole 跨洋參與，深感法喜。房點傳師慈悲解惑，她與先生皆認同大道真義，並殷切期盼能早日求道。

佛光普照 法航同登
感謝天恩師德與點傳師、講師的辛勞，在今年(2025)夏天，因緣終於成熟。我們再次飛抵慕尼黑，將殊勝大道帶給摯友。走出機場關口，見到 Nicole 與 Thomas 熱情迎接，互相擁抱感動欣喜。

Nicole 對道的理解早已深厚，家中供奉佛像，常於莊嚴佛容中尋得安定。我們在其住所設立簡單佛堂，感謝新竹劉瑞瑛講師捐贈的佛燈組，求道儀式莊嚴圓滿，兩人法喜洋溢。Nicole 更立即邀同事求道，展現菩薩心腸。

法會殊勝 法喜滿溢
我們亦為他們舉辦天人共辦的法會。Nicole 因長期參與線上課程，對道有深刻理解，與 Thomas 一同沉浸於法喜，順利完成課程。

Thomas分享：
「這是一段極為美好的體驗，能於今日求道，我無比感恩，也觸動了心靈力量，期盼未來更加圓滿。」

Nicole分享：
「十二年前的相遇，十二年後的重逢，將道賜予我與先生，深深感動難以言喻。最觸動心靈的是，見到他短時間的成長與領悟。這份愛與祝福充盈我心，我感到無比蒙福與被愛。」

重訪舊地 溫暖情誼
相聚時光格外珍貴，房點傳師慈悲與許講師為他們調理健康，他們熱情帶我們重遊慕尼黑市中心。Nicole 還帶我們參觀工作場所，並介紹同事，她的家人從溫哥華來看她，而且也邀他們求道。我們重遊十二年前的景點，如影歷歷，雖無血緣，卻如家人團聚，點滴溫馨，深深烙印心底。

感念天恩 善緣延伸
十二年的情誼，從當初地鐵站的偶遇，到今日殊勝的因緣，讓人深深體悟：道的力量跨越時空，儘管相隔千萬里，依然緊緊相繫。

感恩大道尊貴，感念白水聖帝、不休息菩薩聖靈護祐，感謝點傳師慈悲，與無數善因緣的成全。這份跨越國界的情誼，必將在聖道的光輝下，繼續延展，永不止息。

Tao Spreads to Munich: A Bond Engraved in the Heart for Twelve Years

The Most Beautiful Voice and Scenery Along the Journey
In the summer of 2013, I joined LMU Electronic Media exchange program—my first time leaving North America to set foot on European soil.

Out of love, my parents—Tao Transmitting Master Mei Sheng Fang and Lecturer Shu Chen Hsu—graciously accompanied me, fulfilling a “dream list” before my university graduation. Together, we explored Paris and Prague, admiring countless breathtaking views, before finally arriving by train at my host university in Munich.

One late evening, we waited endlessly at a subway station, with no train in sight. A German announcement echoed, but we could not understand a word. Just then, Master Fang overheard a young woman behind us speaking fluent English, explaining the announcement to someone. He quickly approached her for help. This kind, gentle, beautiful woman was Nicole. She explained that we had to switch platforms, and since she was heading in the same direction, she gladly accompanied us. That was the very moment fate quietly brought us together, a bond that has remained deeply etched in my heart.

That summer of 2013 became unforgettable. Not only was it my first time venturing so far from home into a new environment, but also because Nicole and her husband Thomas welcomed me with warmth. They drove me to famous landmarks, introduced me to Bavarian cuisine, and even invited me to stay overnight at their home. Though we had only just met, our conversations flowed as if reuniting with old friends. On the day I left Germany, Nicole and Thomas drove me to the airport. With tears in our eyes, we bid farewell—little did we know it would be twelve years before we met again.

Beyond Time and Distance, You Are in My Heart
Though separated by continents, over the past twelve years we remained present in each other’s lives, becoming best friends and safe harbors for one another.

During the pandemic, Fa-Yi Chong-De Vancouver Ci-De Temple launched English online sessions. Nicole seized this opportunity to explore the profound truths of Tao across the ocean. Master Fang compassionately offered guidance, which we all embraced. Nicole and Thomas expressed a wish to one day receive Tao in person.

Crossing the Atlantic, United on the Dharma Vessel
Master Fang never forgot Nicole and Thomas’s wish to receive Tao. With gratitude for Heaven’s grace and the tireless dedication of the Master and lecturers, this summer the affinity matured. We returned to Munich, carrying the great gift of Tao to our beloved ones.

As we stepped out of customs, there they were—Nicole and Thomas, waiting to greet us. Overwhelmed with emotion, we embraced in tears.

Nicole’s wisdom and spiritual affinity were extraordinary; her understanding of Tao seemed as though she had cultivated for many lives. She cherished Buddhist images, filling her home with statues and paintings, drawing deep serenity from their presence. This time, we brought along a mini holy lamp set donated by Lecturer Jui Ying Liu from Hsinchu, and set up a simple yet solemn temporary temple at their home. The Tao receiving ceremony was heartwarming, overflowing with blessings. Nicole invited her colleagues to also receive Tao, demonstrating a compassionate Bodhisattva heart and setting a shining example. Hand in hand, we now walk this shared path of return.

We also conducted a sacred Tao Seminar this trip. Having long participated in online classes, Nicole already possessed a profound understanding of Tao, unlike most new participants. She and Thomas completed the Tao Seminar with radiant hearts, fully immersed in joy.

Thomas shared：
“It’s been an absolutely wonderful experience. I feel free and more protected by the family, which is now even bigger than before. I am grateful that I was able to experience Tao receiving today. A thousand thousand thanks to all of you guys. It was very touching, and I feel that it moves something deep within me, really. I hope it gets even better. Thank you!”

Nicole shared：
“It’s hard to find words to express how thankful and grateful I am, really, that you made your way 12 years ago to find me, and to come back to give me Tao, and also to my husband. What’s touching me the most is to see his affinity and that he’s evolving (and he is understanding so much) also during the last few hours. To me, I’m so touched, and I cannot express with words how much I love you and how much love I feel. It’s incredible! Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity, this chance. I feel so blessed and loved. Thank you all so much!”

Every Moment Becomes an Eternal Memory
We cherished every moment spent together. Master Fang and Lecturer Hsu lovingly helped Nicole and Thomas with traditional health treatments (gua sha). Together we explored the downtown of Munich. Nicole showed us her workplace, introducing us warmly to her colleagues, who shared that she had told them, “My family from Vancouver is coming to visit me—and to share Tao with you as well.”

We revisited the same sites from twelve years earlier, reliving old memories and creating new ones. Though not related by blood, we truly felt like family reunited, treasuring each tender moment, forever engraved in our hearts.

I wish to turn the heartfelt emotions into words, to share them with everyone. I am grateful that on the journey of life, I have Tao as my companion, loved ones to support me, and countless great affinities to guide and help along the way.

I wish everyone peace, joy, and blessings.
