The past few weeks has been kind of hectic for me. I had been away for job assignment and Linda had not been feeling well for the past 1 month due to lingering cough. In short, I felt slightly exhausted and at the same time, felt sorry and worried of Linda.
Linda had finally felt much better last week. This Saturday, we decided to go out and treat ourselves a sumptuous brunch buffet at Kungsbacka (a city 30km away from Gothenburg). The restaurant is called Rum 35, which literally means "Room 35" in Swedish. The food varieties were good and I will later share some pictures from the brunch buffet.
Well, the weekend did not end here :) This Sunday morning, we fried some noodles and decided to perform Dana at the Thai temple in Gothenburg, which brings us to the topic of today - a small reflection.
Perhaps it was the serene atmosphere in the temple? Or perhaps it was the blessings from the Sangha? While I immersed myself in the peaceful serenity, I suddenly remembered a small task which I was working on a few years ago. The small task was simple - collect ten meaningful stories and share them in 3 languages (Chinese, English and Swedish).
The stories are originally in Chinese, which I saved them from a Chinese Buddhist Website. I translated the stories in English. And good friends from Falköping, Ove and Eng Yong helped me with the Swedish translation :)
The next post will be one of the ten stories. The rest of stories will be subsequently shared in other posts in the future.
Stay tuned and meanwhile, let me share some photos of the brunch buffet from Rum 35.
过去几周对我来说太忙了。因工作岗位的需要,我需要经常出差,而琳达这1个月来也被咳嗽折磨。简而言之,因工作的繁重,还有担心琳达的健康,让我身心多少感到有些疲惫。
琳达上周终于感觉好多了。这个星期六,我们决定放松下去Kungsbacka(一个距离哥德堡30公里的城市)享用丰盛的自助早午餐。餐厅名为Rum 35,瑞典语字面意思是“35号房”。食物的种类很多,我稍后会分享一些自助早午餐的照片给大家瞧瞧。
周末并没有在这里结束 :) 星期天早上,我们炒了一盘面,决定在哥德堡的泰国寺庙布施,这让进入今天的主题 - 一个小小的反思。
也许是寺庙的宁静?或许是僧侣们的祈福?我突然想起以前我设给自己的一个小任务。任务很简单 - 收集十个小故事并用3种语言(中文,英文和瑞典语)来分享。
这十个小故事是我从中国佛教网站上保存下来的。我用英语来翻译这些小故事。而瑞典语就由我 住在Falköping的好朋友 Ove和 Eng Yong来帮我翻译:)
我会在下一篇文章发表第一个小故事。 剩下的故事我会陆续在下次发表。
还请你们敬请关注,这里就让我先分享早午餐的照片吧!
