On July 10th, it was the birthday of Abbot. The entire street of the village where the temple is located was immersed in a grand festive celebration. We joined the Thai people in singing and dancing to celebrate the birthday of the Abbot. The community kitchen even made braised fish and a birthday cake as offerings.

Thanks to the hard work of the vegetable-growing group, we had a decent harvest of long beans and cucumbers despite it being the rainy season. Yang Le，Jiaoe repaired the old, collapsing chicken coop and created a space for a nursery. The chickens that had been temporarily housed elsewhere returned to a safe and comfortable home. Over the past two weeks, they have visibly regained their vitality and are once again lively and energetic. A little kitten, feeling the love from brothers and sisters, decided not to leave and peacefully made here its own home.

It’s not just me; my brothers and sisters also marvel at how beautiful our daily lives are, filled with so many wonderful things that we can't possibly write enough about the beauty and love we experience. We are fortunate to live in this community, to witness and be part of its beauty, and to be deeply moved by the beauty in every detail of our daily lives. The natural scenery, the hardworking and smiling faces of my brothers and sisters, the masculine strength of the male members, the gentle love of the female fairies, the beauty of simplicity, and the harmony— all these forms of beauty are truly manifested and demonstrated in the Kingdom of Greatest Creator and are continually being shared with the world.

Walking the path of Greatest Creator, life becomes increasingly beautiful, and the experiences of life become more and more wonderful. This is a true and undeniable statement.
