The speaker noticed a more relaxed and natural relationship with their mother, akin to sisters rather than parent and child. Their mother had become more open to new experiences, such as trying new foods and beauty treatments, and had reduced her habit of hoarding items like tissues and cosmetics. This change was attributed to the speaker's own personal growth and the influence of their calm and supportive presence.
At the Jingtu Nunnery, the speaker participated in activities like morning prayers, meals, tea sessions, and beach cleaning, which mirrored their mindfulness practices. The act of cleaning the beach, filled with plastic and foam waste, became a metaphor for observing and managing one's thoughts—acknowledging their presence without resistance, much like not trying to eliminate all beach trash at once but focusing on manageable sections.
The speaker likened the beach's garbage to the mind's thoughts, observing that both are persistent and recurrent. They realized that just as one cannot completely clean a beach due to continuous waste influx, one cannot entirely eliminate thoughts. Instead, the focus should be on observing thoughts without resistance, understanding their transient nature, and not getting overwhelmed by their presence.
The speaker's relationship with their mother evolved into a more equal and friendly dynamic, resembling a sisterly bond rather than a traditional parent-child relationship. This was evident in their shared activities, such as shopping for cosmetics and enjoying meals together, where the speaker supported their mother's choices and interests without judgment or interference.
The speaker highlighted the pervasive issue of marine pollution, noting that the beach was littered with plastic and foam waste, which are byproducts of human consumption. They emphasized the importance of addressing the root cause of such pollution—human behavior and consumption patterns—rather than just cleaning up the symptoms. The experience underscored the need for a deeper environmental consciousness and sustainable living practices.
最近一段时间,包括未来的一段时间,我们大多都会在外面。

每次都会感受到自己、妈妈和家的变化,一些自然而然发生的转化。
回到舟山之后受好朋友 lulu 的邀请去到虾峙岛,一起体验冬天的小岛生活。
活动中认识了很多新朋友,很感恩科娜姐的照顾,让我住到了最近几年最喜欢的民宿。
也很感恩在净土庵的两日生活,我们和师父一起做早课、用餐、喝茶、聊天、净滩。
