Notes from Dharma Master Heng Chih: The reason the Master called was to assure that I'd gotten back to the Buddhist Lecture Hall safely because he had tasked me to return to Buddhist Lecture Hall every night. That meant I left the new Gold Mountain Monastery (in a rough neighborhood in the Mission District) at about 9:30 pm, walked several blocks to get a bus, rode downtown, got off one bus, and stood outside waiting to transfer to another in downtown San Francisco at about 10 pm. Then getting off the second bus and walking a few blocks through Chinatown about 10:30 pm to the Buddhist Lecture Hall. Shifu wanted to be sure I got back safely. So he would call the Buddhist Lecture Hall about the time he thought I would be back. (Sometimes I could already hear the phone ringing as I climbed the 4 flights of stairs upon my return. Sometimes, I would already be back at Buddhist Lecture Hall when he called.) And that's why I said he did it again and again. He checked on my return every night.

Notas de la Maestra del Dharma Heng Chih: La razón por la que el Maestro llamaba era para asegurarse de que yo había regresado al Buddhist Lecture Hall (nombre de un Monasterio) a salvo, era porque él me había pedido regresar allá todas las noches. Y es que, cuando yo partía del nuevo Monasterio Gold Mountain, (que se encontraba en un vecindario peligroso en Mission District) ya eran alrededor de las 9:30 p.m. Yo tenía que caminar varias cuadras para tomar un autobús hacia el centro de San Francisco, bajarme del autobús y quedarme afuera esperando otro autobús alrededor de las 10 pm. Luego, me bajaba del segundo autobús y caminaba unas cuadras atravesando Chinatown alrededor de las 10:30 pm hasta llegar al Buddhist Lecture Hall. Shifu quería asegurarse de que había regresado sana y salva, así que llamaba al Buddhist Lecture Hall a la hora que él creía que ya había regresado (A veces, ya podía escuchar el teléfono sonar mientras yo apenas iba subiendo las escaleras. Otras veces, ya estaba en el Buddhist Lecture Hall cuando él llamaba). Y por eso dije que lo hacía una y otra vez. El Maestro verificaba mi regreso todas las noches.
Notes de Maître Dharma Chih: La raison pour laquelle le Maître appelait était pour s'assurer que j'étais rentrée en route sécurité au Buddhist Lecture Hall parce qu'il m'avait demandé de retourner au Buddhist Lecture Hall tous les soirs. Ce qui signifiait que je partais du nouveau Gold Mountain Monastery (dans un quartier assez difficile, voisin du district Mission) à environ 21h30, je marchais quelques pâtés de maison pour prendre le bus qui roulait vers la banlieue, descendais du bus, et attendais à l'extérieur à une station pour prendre une correspondance avec un autre bus dans la banlieue de San Francisco vers 22h. Ensuite je descendais du second bus et marchais quelques pâtés de maison à travers Chinatown à environ 22h30 vers le Buddhist Lecture Hall. Shifu voulait être sûr que je rentrais en sécurité. Alors il appelait le Buddhist Lecture Hall à peu près à l'heure à laquelle il pensait que je rentrerai. (Parfois je pouvais déjà entendre le téléphone sonner pendant que je montais les 4 escaliers à mon arrivée. Parfois, j'étais déjà arrivée au Buddhist Lecture Hall quand il appelait.) Et c'est pourquoi j'ai dit qu'il le faisait encore et encore. Il vérifiait que j'étais bien arrivée tous les soirs.
Namo Amitabha! May Buddhism flourish for many more millenia! May your sincere efforts help many innumerable more sentient beings. May you have lesser evil obstacles toward that goal. I would like to correct what was mentioned of: "我欢喜你" There needs to be a clarification to prevent misunderstandings, especially if your intention is to nurture Buddhism in the west according to what Master Hua intended - then if there are errors in speech or translation, even if not intended, can cause discontent. 欢喜 = huan xi 欢 = great joy/rejoice/like 喜 = joy/like When used as 喜欢(xi huan) it communicates as like. I like this cookie. I like this person. It communicates a special kind of "like". Most of the time it communicates "i like this, this is my favourite". However, you cannot listen to its reverse and assume the same. It can be deadly. 欢喜 (huan xi) This is high praise indeed. It means "rejoice, greatly rejoice, glad, great happiness". In that context that Master Hua told you, your conduct and commitment has made him "greatly rejoice". So it's like you said, not a "romantic kind of like" Not a "favourite student kind of like" But this kind of dedication and commitment is probably a good beginning and standard to what practitioners should strive for. Thank you for sharing about Master Hua!
