While everybody were singing the birthday song, Shi Lian Hua De Hui offered Shi Mu a gift prepared by the temple, Shi Master Lian Jie presented a bundle of beautiful flowers, and few fellow disciples also offered their gifts in which they were specially pre-arranged for this extraordinary day.  Shi Mu blows out candles during her birthday celebration Everyone showed their gratitude for the hard work Shi Mu has done all these years for the temple. Shi Mu made her own wish silently and blew out the candles according to everybody’s wishes; the cake was cut and shared among everyone.People gathered together and enjoyed the wonderful tastes of the birthday cake. Shi Mu does not like to accentuate things, and that is why for all these years, this was the first time Shi Mu celebrated her birthday in Seattle’s Ling Shen Ching Tze Temple. Shi Mu is a polite lady; she praised everyone’s supports, Honor the Guru, Treasure the Dharma, and Practice Diligently. She refused to accept the red envelope as a present for her birthday.Following the relaxing and affectionate dinner, everyone followed Shi Zun, Shi Mu, Fo-Chi and his family to the temple and begun the Tai Chi exercise. There goes another wonderful gathering at the temple on this special evening.
