I started to learn about Buddhism in the summer before 6.2 (Form 7, the year before Uni). I was always looking for answers (just like most of us), and after reading an article online I felt that Buddhism can give me the answer. Ever since then, I have been reading more and more about the teaching of the Buddha. As my interests grow, I started writing my first website on Buddhism about 2 years ago, mainly in Pure Land (both Chinese and English). That is amtb.co.uk, it now has a Forum, Photo Album and a site mainly on Pure Land teaching. There still a lot to improve on and your comments are very welcome.
Later on in Uni, thanks to Kamil who help me find a Buddhist society in ULU (University of London Union) call ULUBUDA (ULU BUDdhist Association) during the second term of my 1st year (2005), and I start to get involve. The first meeting I went to was their AGM so I took up the position of webmaster and that is when I really getting started with websites. The ULUBUDA's website now has gone through many phases but there still a lot to improve on. I met a few people in ULUBUDA who are also from Imperial College and three of us all think it's a good idea to start a Buddhist society in IC. Therefore we (Geoffrey, Jeff) started ICBS (Imperial College Buddhist Society). I learnt a lot through being part of the societies. Time goes on, a lot of things coming up and a lot to learn… Please see my updates under the Buddhism Catageory.

Hi, Vincent,
Through Google search I get to your blog site and learned from your post of “Me and Buddhism” that you are a Buddhist of pure land method.
I guess you are a young man of about the same age of my son who is at his first year in Auckland university (New Zealand). You are so young, yet the contribution you have given to Buddha’s eductaion is great.
Regards
Morris
Dear Morris,
Thank you very much for your kind words, they are very encouraging. All the best to you.

阿弥陀佛，阿弥陀佛，阿弥陀佛！ 师兄能认识中文那就太好了，呵呵。 真的很想见见你， 在伦敦， 我还真没遇到一个净土同修， 我是要专修净土的， 所以身边的缘很重要， 遇到你， 遇到你的网站， 我很欢喜，赞叹师兄为净土法门所做的一切， 继续努力啊， 阿弥陀佛，阿弥陀佛，阿弥陀佛！
師兄吉祥，
阿彌陀佛
我也很高興認識你，我也希望可以認識更多學佛同修，特别在倫敦，可以有共修的機會。
一月七日會有念佛共修法會，詳情請參閱英國淨宗學會網頁。

十項正妙之法：
(一) 於因果業報之理，深信不疑者乃下根之見。
(二) 見內外一切顯現諸法皆空，此顯空雙運又有四種 層次之不同，此是中根之見。
(三) 見，能見，所見三者無有分別能如是知者是上根之見。
(四) 能專注一處(心無散亂)，乃下根之修觀。
(五) 能住於四種雙運之三昧者，乃中根之修觀。
(六) 能修，所修及修觀本身三無差別，無絲毫緣想者，乃上根之修觀。
(七) 慎懼因果，如護己目者，乃下根之行。
(八) 於日用行為中，見一切法如夢如幻者，乃中根之行。
(九) 於一切所行毫無滯著者，乃上根之行。
(十) 一切煩惱及我執皆一天一天地減輕，有逐漸消滅之趨勢，這是上、中、下三根都應該具有之相應暖相。
Nice website my friend…I thoroughly enjoy surfing through. By using the internet, this website really is a lamp for people around the world, who are still in the dark, to have a chance to see the light of Truth.
Amituofo, I’m glad to be here again! Let’s chant Amituofo this Sunday, hehe. Thank you ! I’d like to say you are smart and great luck to you! You’re 2 years older than me, and surly you’ve done lots of works on Buddha’s teaching! Amituofo, Amituofo, Amituofo. see you this Sunday!
Amituofo,

师兄安好， 阿弥陀佛。 你去 五台山了？ 太有福气了， 呵呵。
阿弥陀佛， 阿弥陀佛， 阿弥陀佛。
師兄您好:
附上 靜老說的話 一書供參考,也請隨緣方便流通﹐續佛慧命。若有需要紙書當為您寄上.
靜老一再吩咐要依法不依人。他老人家把原始的佛法，用最淺意的文字相講出來，是為了讓因忙碌沒空看書，或看經書亦難解其法意的末法眾生，也都能方便使用的文字法相。文字相雖淺，法意卻深亦穩當。希望有因緣接觸到此書的人，能用直心學習，並時常溫習與落實此書的法意，而不要以論法的心態來讀此書，如此才能入「佛」的知見，而一輩子都信願行念佛直至往生西方極樂世界。

Hi Vincent,
Amituofo.
It’s really rare nowadays to have a young man like you to be highly indulged in Buddhism, particularly Pure Land teachings, and contributing towards its propagation in this manner. Keep up the good work for the benefit of all sentient beings!
Amituofo.
南 无 阿 弥 陀 佛
信受彌陀救度，專稱彌陀佛名；願生彌陀淨土，廣度十方眾生。
