Precious Jewel under the beggar's hearth

Namo Amitofo!

Homage and deep respect to Venerable Master Hui Re

Such a precious Master right in one's midst in the unusual surroundings of a place like Africa!?!  How much merit must each one of us collected over countless lifetimes? To share such a special bond and connection to a being so wise and compassionate.He bides his time in a land mostly bereft of Dharma where most beings don't even notice the precious jewel of dharma wisdom under our very noses...
Staying and living where no other masters have been willing to stay and teaching even if there are only a few willing to listen and learn.

Every opportunity is the teaching.

The dharma he teaches is profound and at times cuts like a knife.

The very way to wake one from the stupor we have long found so much comfort in.  Patiently he grinds away our obscurations and tempers our rigid minds.

Sitting back and just watching...observing him is a teaching.

He is like a smooth flowing stream confidently navigating its course, never dissuaded by floating debris or times of drought.  


Open minded, kind, loving and wise.

Persevering and standing his ground firmly when he has heartfelt trust that an action will yield a specific long term result.  Who knows what he envisions or what he might see when he looks into the eyes of a child or a lost being?  


Respecting all Dharma, knowing it liberates.  Shifu is by no means just an ordinary fellow seeker but a master who has been treading the path and following his dharma heart with all his heart.

If we patiently watch, listen and learn we will open our own hearts and minds just as a master does.

Blessed indeed!  May all his pure intentions bear fruit and no being ever go hungry for dharma again.
