基礎雜誌 327 期 24 最近，我和洛杉磯全真道院的人， 到北加州去參加一個六天五夜的營 隊。我們在那裡學到了很多道理，像 要孝順父母、要尊敬長輩、認識道場、 環保愛地球等等。 第一天，我們學到了做人的態 度，講師用四個杯子來代表人學習的 態度。第一個杯子沒有下面，底部是 空的，這是比喻一個人在學習上不用 心，什麼都不會記得。第二個杯子很 髒，裡面都是土，所以誰也不想使用， 這是形容你學到的東西本來是好的， 但是你卻用在不好的地方。第三個杯 子是倒著用的，水就倒不進去，這是 形容一個人很驕傲，在課程當中都不 好好學。最後一個杯子是正常的杯子， 裡面可以裝水；我們要像最後這個杯 一個令人難忘的生活體驗 ◎ 陳心詒 Cindy Chen 子一樣，在六天的夏令營當中好好學 習，不管是否自願來的，既然來了， 就應該有正確的學習態度。 營隊的每一天都有一個主題，第 二天的主題是志工使命與認識道場。 當天除了有講師講專題以外，還有很 多活動，我覺得所有的活動都很好玩， 讓我很興奮；我們也從這些遊戲中學 到要怎麼幫助別人。那一天有五個活 動，每做完一個活動的時候，負責人 員就會解釋活動的意義是什麼。那天 晚上我們有一個體驗活動叫「尋找光 明」。這個活動就是要我們出去尋找 工作人員預先藏起來的梅花燈，但是 外面有很多魔鬼要抓我們，所以我們 在找燈的時候要很小心。透過這個活 動告訴我們，道很寶貴，我們尋找的 編按：筆者從小在修道家庭長大，目前14歲，就讀美國亞凱迪亞高中一年級（寫 文稿時是 13 歲，當時還是國中生）；本篇文章是筆者去年度參與美國一 貫道總會所舉辦的青少年身心靈成長營後有感，分別以中英文撰寫心得。

基礎雜誌 327 期 26 Writing Gathering Field 文 薈 篇 Over the course of six days, we went to a summer camp up at Redwood Glen. I learned a lot during these six days, such as how to cultivate ourselves, how to treat oth- ers, and how we can cooperate so that everything can be dealt with equally. Not only was the camping a chance to learn, it was also a chance to get away from our computers and phones. But most importantly, I also enjoyed all the activities that we did at the camp. Everything we did there had a lesson to it. A lot of the messages I’ve got were very meaningful, and if all of us learned from the things that they delivered to us, the world would definitely become a much better place. Even the activities had their own lesson. They weren’t designed to allow us to have fun, but instead, they all carried the theme of the day and helped us understand the world around us better. There were also lectures there. We had a few lectures every day that followed the theme of the day. Every lecture had a specific topic, and the lecturers had so much to tell us. As I listened to their speeches, I could tell that they must have spent days preparing their speech and presentation so that the one hundred and sixty of us could understand the meanings of Tao. We learned different topics varying from filial piety to even the four types of Quotients. Each day they gave us more and more information that I would believe one day – should we choose to apply what we’ve learned to our life –we could lead ourselves to a path of success. There were also different events happening throughout the day. Each day we had a “Challenge of the Night”. Each one, like all the other activities, had a deep meaning An Unforgettable Experience ▲ 透過體驗活動了解愛地球的重要性。

We had to venture out in the dark with our flashlights trying to find the light. But there were also demons out there, and we need to find the light in order to be safe from the demons. This really rep - resents our path to finding Tao (the light) and these demons are also like things out in the real world trying to stop us from achieving our goal. We also had a few other things that happened each day in the camp. Some were heartfelt speeches that taught us to respect our parents and cherish everything we had in life. We never know when we’ll lose something or someone precious, so we should hold them close to our heart and only let go when they’re finally gone. All the campers came from different areas and branches too. In my group, I had peo - ple from Michigan coming over to be part of our team. I had no idea who they were when the camp first started, but over the days, they became my best friends. Out of the three people I talked to the most in my team, I only knew one of them from the temple. I am sure that having people from different places join in one group is a great way to meet new friends. Overall, I thought that this camping experience was amazing and I definitely learned a lot from the camp. Right before I left, I was saddened to know that such a wonderful ex - perience was ending. To this day, I still wish that we were there, having fun while learning the ways of Tao. I hope that next year, or the year after, we can have the camping again.
