After finding his English subtitled Buddhist videos on youtube, I wanted to learn more from the late Master Sheng-Yen. I feel great joy and fullness after reading this book. I want more compassion in my life, I want to share compassion with others, I hope I can now bring a fraction of what is possible out into the world now that i've finished this book. It's a long road to buddhahood, and I'm unsure if that's who I am but I find peace in reading and practicing what I can from the knowledge I learned.
