Sometimes our mind is as calm and pure as the blue sky or clear water. Like the clouds passing by in the faraway sky, a thought or two comes up –– but only occasionally. This is the first stage of samadhi.

When these small animals were crossing the street, more than ten cars stopped, no honking, just waiting quietly for them to cross over. Everybody thought it was just a natural thing to wait. Seeing this, it almost moved me to tears.

This is Mr. Jim Tucker, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia School of Medicine. Mr. Tucker and his team have continued the reincarnation research after Dr. Ian Stevenson’s retirement. His main research interests currently focus on American cases. In 2013, his second book on reincarnation Return to Life: Extraordinary Cases of Children Who Remember Past Lives was published.

Please do not feel that you’re always under a lot of pressure either in life or at work. If you can, look on the bright side and everything can be a very interesting piece of art.

I had a discussion with a scientist who does research on transmigration. He said, “We have researched more than 2500 cases and all of them support the existence of the cycle of life.” In my opinion, some of the cases are so convincing that there can be no better explanation than transmigration. It is indeed very difficult to repudiate them.

I visited the University of Colorado for lectures and discussions. The Boulder campus is located in the beautiful city of Boulder, where there are snowy mountains, forests, lakes, blue sky with pretty white clouds. What a wonderful place!

I was invited to the University of Virginia for lectures and discussions. The campus of the University of Virginia is beautiful. Many of the professors there are very open-minded; some of their research has already touched upon the aspects of mind and life at a much deeper level.

I had the intention to speak with Dr. Ian Stevenson in person about transmigration. He was the first person in the West to explain rebirth through a scientific method. Regrettably, I only saw a picture of him in his office today.

I've been going back to our primary school to spend Children's Day on June 1st with the students every year since 2007. Regrettably, I am going to miss it this year. May you all have a joyful day!
