On sunday, I brought the family to Sakura buffet restaurant located in the admiralty park for dinner. My daughter told me she want to be a vegetarian for that night and whenever we go to a food counter she would ask me if that contains any meat. in the end she ate broccoli and bencurds.
Later on the night i asked her if she wants any sharks fin soup absentmindedly, as i know she likes this type of thick soup. She asked me if it contains any shark's fin, I was struck by awe the details she paid attention to and went on to check with the waitress, but i noticed that it contains only synthetic sharks fin made from vermicelli but she still declined.
My daughter is a gentle and kind girl. I noticed that many times when dealing with insects she would try not to hurt them, although she is afraid of them, she would put them in a container or get her grandma to do it, sometimes she would even give it names.
She shows a keen interest in buddhism and even corrected me on some buddhism facts about the Buddha's mother. she would sit with grandma to recite the amitabha buddha's name or sing the heart sutra quietly. She is my pride, and she is her grandpa's pride as well.
My son on the other hand shows a typical boy's curiosity. When he sees a bug, he will step on it, at 1 year old he is probably too young to know what he is doing. But whenever he sees me reciting the sutra in front of our ancestral altar, he will put his hands together and bow so deep his head touch the ground. he is a funny little lad, hopefully i will be a good example for him, hopefully i would be able to show him the correct way.
