你在我心裏You Are in My Heart

南禪朋友好！

你在我心裏

 

     三年前某醫學系登山社發生山難，是一個我看著長大的醫學院青年的摯友同學，在他的心裏這位山難的同學是醫學天才，其難受程度可想而知。

 

我陪他渡過心裏的創傷期，也幫忙迴向超薦，3年過去了，年青學生順利完成學業當小兒科醫生，昨晚1點收到他給往生的同學功德迴向金加過年紅包。

 

年青醫師的媽是台南讀書會的老師，這3年幫著迴向也給往生者紅包，一切人間至情展現無遺！

 

年青醫師總在忙祿完後 深夜憶著同窗生涯，點點滴滴⋯⋯。

 

本來過年要來的，我也ㄧ年沒看到他，回南部的高鐵上沒戴口罩，ㄧ家全染諾羅病毒，大年初二還得趕回台北值班，辛苦之餘，同學總在他心裏。

 

 憶往日，做超薦時竟然看到往生者生前已經往生2年的媽媽，在看不見的空間悲泣她的小孩的逝世，大受震驚的我，久久不能自己。

You Are in My Heart

 Greetings, friends of NanZen!

 

Three years ago, a tragic accident struck a university mountaineering club, taking the life of a medical student. He was the best friend of a young medical student I had watched grow up. In his heart, this friend was a true medical genius, and the pain of losing him was beyond words.   

 

I accompanied him through his grief, offering support and performing merit dedications for the departed. Three years have passed, and he has successfully graduated and became a pediatrician. At 1 a.m. last night, I received a message from him, along with a merit dedication donation and a Chinese New Year’s red envelope for his late friend. 

 

His mother, a teacher at NanZen study group in Tainan, has also been offering merit dedications and red envelopes for the departed over the past three years—a true display of deep human compassion. 

 

Late at night, after long hours of work, this young doctor still reminisces about his dear friend, cherishing every memory. 

 

He had planned to visit me for the Chinese New Year, and I hadn't seen him in a year. However, on the high-speed rail ride home to southern Taiwan, he and his family caught the norovirus after forgetting to wear masks. Despite feeling unwell, he had to rush back to Taipei for his hospital shift on the second day of the Lunar New Year. Even in his exhaustion, his friend remained in his heart. 

 

I recall that while performing a memorial ritual, I was stunned to perceive the presence of the deceased friend’s mother—who had passed away two years earlier—grieving in an unseen space for her lost child. The vision shook me deeply, leaving me unable to regain my composure for a long time.
