王一丹居士2024年10月11日晚間講於萬佛聖城大殿
All Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Venerable Master Hua, all Dharma masters and Good and Wise advisors, Amituofo.
諸佛菩薩，上人，各位法師，各位善知識，大家晚上好！
My name is Yidan Wang and I am from Shanghai. In the blink of an eye, I am now in my second year at Dharma Realm Buddhist University (DRBU), and this year marks the beginning of my master’s studies. For the first time in my life, I was taken to the “little black room” at the customs office because they thought I was suspicious for quitting my job to return to school here. When I entered the small ‘dark’ room, the customs officer inspected my passport, and the silence made me feel afraid. I thought, “Am I about to be deported and sent back on the next flight?” I quickly pulled my thoughts back to “Namo Guan Shi Yin Bodhisattva” and began silently reciting. After a long time, the officer said, “Ms. Wang, I have some questions for you.” I thought, “Great, here comes my chance. I’ll answer truthfully and be myself.”
我叫王一丹，來自上海。轉眼間，我已經在聖城法界佛教大學（法大）第二個年頭了，今年開啟了第一年的碩士學習，在入境海關的時候，人生中第一次被帶去 ”小黑屋”，因為海關覺得我非常可疑，竟然辭去工作繼續讀書。進入了小黑屋，海關官員檢查我的護照，安靜的氣氛讓我感到害怕，我心想：”我是不是被遣送，坐下一班飛機回去了？” 我馬上把思緒拉回到了「南無觀世音菩薩。” 我默默念著，過了很久，海關官員說：”Ms Wang（王女士）, 我有問題問你。” 我心想：太好了，機會來了，我只要真實回答做自己便可。
