The 1st Decade: Growing Up (Age 1 to 10)
Born in a rural village, the influences of poverty and his maternal grandmother helped him nurture a diligent and compassionate nature.
-
Diligence: While his family was out working, he took on the chores of emptying the stove ash and cleaning the house, hoping to surprise his parents when they came home to a clean and pleasant environment. His experience in boiling water, cooking meals, chopping wood, herding cattle, plowing fields, and so on, enabled him to focus on being practical rather than theoretical.
-
Compassion: The Venerable Master's maternal grandmother was a pious and devoted Buddhist with a compassionate heart. Under her influence, he never dared to kill even a mosquito, a fly, or an ant, and was most caring towards small animals. He once took care of an injured beakless chick until it was able to lay eggs. Injured pigeons and squirrels were often found inside the Founding Master's Quarters in Fo Guan Shan. The number of animals he has cared for over the past thirty years is innumerable. Fo Guang Shan went from being as wasteland that no animals would consider home to one where hundreds of bird species now dwell.
