Today I received a special gift.
It was made by an old man who is one of my customers. Whenever New Year's Day comes, he always gives me this present.
It's actually a small amulet. Like a protecting from bad things, to keep the body healthy and also to bring good energy to life.
The first time he gave me this, I was really surprised and I felt just weird. I thought: 'Why did he give me the amulet???' I do not strongly believe this kind of folk beliefs. Also, I've never had any amulet in my whole life. So it is just really strange and super odd!
The old man is a Buddhist art painter, usually paints Dharma. Many people believe Dharma's painting keep off misfortune and protect them. When anybody see his painting, they can feel some strong aura, even if they believe in any religion or not and believe in superstition or not. I knew his works, and I thought his work has some powerful energy. So this powerful amulet is more and more strange to me.
At that time, he explained why he gave me this. It just means thanks for the humanity relations between he and me. He thought, every meeting between people is tied and connected, so meeting someone is always important and precious for each others.
And then he said to me "Thank you for our ties." I was touched by what he said. I really appreciated it.
Because one person, maybe just in a slight part of his whole life, thought that our humanity ties are precious and then prays for my peace and happiness, is really an amazing and a wonderful thing.
Still, I don't believe in any superstition. But I already feel this amulet effect.
That's not because of the amulet itself, it's because of his warmly thanks for our humanity connections. When people's heart cherishes people's ties and pray for others it shows gratitude in itself. :)
