我的夢想是當一名醫生。4年前，非常疼愛我的爸爸因病去世，加拿大和台灣的醫生都查不出病因。我實在無法接受一向作息規律又很健康的爸爸這麼快就離開我們。我在爸爸的病床前答應他會好好讀書，以後當一名醫生，找出爸爸的病因，也幫助更多需要幫助的人。但是做一名好醫生不容易，我很害怕自己做不到，更害怕不能遵守和爸爸的約定，無形之中給了自己很大的壓力，時常感到無助和迷茫。
這次禪修營的主題是「我的未來我創造」。課程中，金菩提禪師和營隊的老師們為我們講述青年人為什麼要有夢想，如何堅持和實現夢想，給了我極大的啟發。金菩提禪師提到夢想和動力時，講了一個例子：有一個人的媽媽因為癌症去世，這讓他有了當醫生的想法，因為他想了解媽媽的病，並找出方法對治這種病。那一刻，我覺得禪師好像把我的夢想和煩惱都看透了！禪師用幽默又富有威力的言語，讓我明白未來是自己掌控的，有願望就不要怕困難，想好了就去做！
☆ 堅定夢想，慈悲助人 ☆
課程中，金菩提禪師與我們分享了緬甸孩子們上課的條件。看到破舊的教室，看著純真的孩子們，營隊的小伙伴們都受到了觸動。我們跟禪師約定好，一起幫助在緬甸的貧困孩子。看到最近新聞報導A型H1N1流感影響了不少緬甸人，我更堅定了做醫生的夢想，我發願以後要組建醫療團隊到緬甸去幫助大家。如果說當初想當醫生是為了自己的諾言，參加了這次青年禪修營後，我是真心想做一名好醫生，來幫助更多的人。
回到加拿大，我與幾位台灣、韓國、馬來西亞的伙伴一起看了禪師在緬甸的直播，分享了內心的感想。那幾天晚上，我在夢中都想著要怎樣才能幫到那裡的孩子們。我決定現在就開始存錢，我想只有親自去了那裡，才能真正體會當地人的辛苦，才能保持慈悲助人的心。
12天的青年禪修營中，大家對夢想以及慈悲助人的熱血讓我刻骨銘心。我要感謝在營隊中認識的每一個好伙伴，謝謝你們陪我一起學習成長；感謝韓國組跨越語言障礙，跟我做朋友；感謝營長、組長們的耐心帶領；感謝老師們的細心教導；感謝所有工作人員的付出，謝謝你們為我們紮營、煮飯、清掃、規劃；最後，真心感謝尊貴的金菩提禪師，讓我在上大學前，透過青年禪修營找到人生的使命和方向！
☆ Destiny in My Hands ☆
My father passed away four years ago. I was devastated and could not accept the fact that doctors in Canada and Taiwan had been unable to come up with a diagnosis. I made a promise to my father that I would study hard in order to one day discover the cause of his illness, and to become a top-notch doctor capable of helping many people. I put a lot of pressure on myself to perform academically, as I feared disappointing him. There were times when I felt I’d lost the meaning and purpose of life.
The theme for this camp was “Destiny In My Hands.” Master JinBodhi and several teachers shared with us the importance of striving for goals. Once, Master shared a story about a young girl who aspired to be a doctor after her mother died of cancer. She wanted to discover a cure for it. His words captured my aspirations and gave me peace.
☆ Compassion in Motion ☆
During the course, Master shared with us the challenges that children in Myanmar face. Looking at pictures of their dilapidated classrooms, my heart went out to them.
I want to help these poverty-stricken children. As I learned more about the struggles of the people in Myanmar, my dream of being a doctor expanded to include medical missions to help the disenfranchised.
Back in Canada after the camp, I decided to start saving so that I would have the financial means to travel to Myanmar during my school break. I’ve learned to put compassion in motion.
This was my most memorable camp. My deepest gratitude to Master for helping me clarify my life’s purpose and strengthen my willpower so that I may realize my cherished dream.
