My parents and little sister's family joined me for a visit at Dharma Drum Mountain, where Evania continued her training as a volunteer tour guide. We arrived just in time for lunch, which was served free for everyone. It was close to the end of lunch time, and we found ourselves the only group left in the dining hall. My two nephews took the opportunity wandering, crawling and playing in the aisle between rows of dining tables. The high-pitched sound made by the younger nephew, who recently learned to walk, echoed in the spacious and almost empty hall.

Outside the dining hall, the weather was damp and gloomy. Soon the rain confined us to indoor areas. Evania found us roaming at Founding History Memorial Hall and led us to Wishing Guan Yin Hall, where she showed us how to make wishes, draw a Recipe for Mind and ask for a bottle of Great Compassion Water. I thought of number 21 and got the following recipe:
How should you conduct yourself and deal with others?
Be "square inside" -- live by priciple; and "round outside" -- exercise expedience.
