As I sat on the platform in the southwest corner chanting mantras, an old lady came over with a joyful smile on her face. After exchanging some greetings, she and another lady named Chunxiang chatted. I didn't dare to leave because I knew that she was going to consult divination later and ask various questions, and I would have to attend to her. In total, four old ladies came, including the one who gave me three hundred yuan a few days ago to buy lamp oil and incense for the offering on the eighth day of April. The reception lasted until about ten o'clock. I no longer felt annoyed because I felt that bringing joy to sentient beings and following their wishes was part of my spiritual practice.

In the evening, I watched a short video by Changwen. I felt that the most joyful thing one could do for sentient beings was to focus on making money and taking on more responsibilities. This is the greatest good. Therefore, I need to practice more detachment, eliminate anything unrelated to making money, and never speak any nonsense. He couldn't even remember his own waist size because his thoughts were completely focused on making money. I feel ashamed.

Yesterday was not perfect. I didn't feel very well physically. At noon, I ate organic rice and stir-fried peas, tomatoes, and potatoes that I bought the day before and stored in the refrigerator. After eating, I didn't feel very comfortable. It was the kind of discomfort caused by a lack of nutrition and energy. I didn't sleep well in the afternoon either. My combat effectiveness was low all day. I wasted most of the morning and was not very efficient in the afternoon. I recited the Sutra of Visualization of Amitabha Buddha and dedicated it to my parents, benefactors, and creditors at around seven o'clock. In the evening, I forced myself to work until after ten o'clock but only finished one task, which was far less productive than the previous day.

Yesterday, I indulged in fantasy for a moment. As someone with a weak constitution, my scrotum was damp and my body emitted an unpleasant odor. This is a manifestation of my heavy karmic obstacles and poor physical condition. I can only visualize the Pure Land and the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. I cannot harm my body or willingly degrade myself. I must never forget my commitment to myself and my unwavering dedication to my dreams.
