Good Causes and Conditions Lead to Success （11）
因緣能成就一切 （11）

　Once, when a Ma-chu pilgrims group from Changhua visited a Ma-chu temple in Peikang, I was invited by Mr. Ta-keng Lin to come by on a tricycle and have a look. This gave me a deep understanding of folk religion in Taiwan. To repay his hospitality, I invited him to serve as vice president of Fu-shan Buddhist College in our Fu-shan Temple, Changhua. I hoped that our good "causes and conditions" would help promote Buddhism in the Changhua area.
　Subsequently, many monastics provided me with good "causes and conditions" to spread Buddhist teachings. Among them were Venerable Yuan Jung of Tung-shan Temple, Pintung; Venerable Chih Tao of Ching-chueh Temple, Miaoli; Venerable Te Hsi of Shen-chai Hall; Venerable Miao Pen of Pi-lu Temple, Houli; Venerables Shan Ting and Hui Ting of Chao-yuan Temple, Meinung; and Venerable Wen Chih of Bodhi Hall, Panch'iao. I worked hard to repay their kindness, writing and mailing them books and magazines.

　記得有一年，彰化媽祖行香團朝拜北港的媽祖廟，林大賡先生邀我坐三輪車，到媽祖行陣中參觀，讓我對台灣的民間信仰有了深切的認識。為了感激他的熱忱，後來我在彰化開建「福山寺」，請他擔任「福山佛學院」的副院長，希望彼此的好「因」好「緣」，能對彰化佛教有所貢獻。
　後來，屏東東山寺圓融法師、苗栗淨覺院的智道法師、台中慎齋堂德熙法師、后里毗盧寺妙本法師、美濃朝元寺的善定、慧定法師、板橋菩提院的文智法師等等，都曾支助我弘法的「因緣」，我無以為報，只有努力著述，寄贈書報月刊，聊表寸心。
