In recent years I was often invited to guide Chan retreats in some part of the world, and I had lesser and lesser time to stay with my mom. Every time when I was about to leave, she would always exhort me: “take good care of the students, be sincere and humble, and fully enjoy teaching everyone. If the students don’t understand your teaching, do not blame them, and never think of yourself as superior to others.” With every word and every sentence mom wished from her heart that her “young” monastic son could use the Dharma to benefit more people.
