虛擬造訪墳場之提供　林鈺堂

由弟子們提供世界各地墳場之網頁連線，每日上網造訪已有數年。雖然每天只有時間參訪三、五處，但由地圖、空照圖或相片也可感受各地的風情雖異，無常皆同。並且由造訪世界各地，更能在不知不覺間，擴大視野與胸襟。這些連線得 來不易，一向是與我電郵名單上之弟子眾及佛友眾分享而已。今晨在墳場散步，忽然想到可以在網頁上提供，使更多人有機會也能每天造訪幾處墳場，以培養無常的覺悟，並擴展心胸。因此叫弟子通透與達實進行此事，並做此簡介以告訴 大家此舉之用意。希望這個服務能使許多佛友增加一個有意義的每日功課。

從2003年七月我已開始做網路虛擬之造訪墳場，到2020年1月7日我虛擬造訪墳場之次數已達16,585次。

Offering of Virtual Cemetery Visits

Yutang Lin

Using website links as provided by disciples I have been making daily virtual visits to cemeteries all over the world for several years. Even though daily I have time to visit only three or five cemeteries over the internet, and yet through maps, satellite photos or photos one can still sense that even though environments are various, impermanence is universal. Furthermore, through visiting different parts of the world one gradually and unnoticeably opens one's views and mind. These links are not so readily available, and so far I have shared them with only disciples and Dharma friends on my email list. This morning while taking my daily walk in the cemetery nearby, suddenly it occurred to me that we can offer these links at our websites so that more people will have the opportunity to visit virtually cemeteries all over the world on a daily basis, and thereby cultivate their awareness of impermanence and openness of mind. Hence I asked disciples Tong Tou and Da Shi to work on this project, and wrote this brief introduction to explain to all the intentions behind this service. May this service enable many Dharma friends to add one more significant daily practice!

Since July of 2003 I have been doing virtual cemetery visits via internet, and up to January 7, 2020 the number of virtual cemetery visits I have done reached 16,858.
