# 封美國人JoelWilson 為禪院草

&#x20;      Joel Wilson 先生在過去的半年多一直在生命禪院英文網站上工作，主要校對文集在語法詞語方面的不足之處，最近，他第一次來中國，不去北京，不去上海，而是直接來第二家園體驗生活，表現了對家園極度地關愛和對生命禪院的熱忱。 他先後去了第二家園的三所分院，說一切很理想，與網路上宣傳的內容毫無二致，他決心在以後的歲月里最大限度地為家園工作和服務。

&#x20;      Joel Wilson 先生誠實開朗，喜歡勞動，來家園後就參與到了家園建設中，前天我們移植竹子，Joel Wilson 不怕苦不怕髒不怕累，在小雨中不停地分離叢竹，今天在太陽下為柳樹施肥，吃飯時也在食堂排隊，具有禪院草精神和文明品德，故而特例封Joel Wilson 先生為——卡爾草。

&#x20;      從今以後，Joel Wilson 就是第二家園大家庭的一員，將是全球禪院草的兄弟，他的一切將與生命禪院息息相關。

&#x20;      祝賀卡爾草的到來，祝福卡爾草成為禪院草！

附Joel——卡尔草在生命禅院英文网的申请书：Application for Chanyuan Celestial

&#x20;

Dear Xuefeng,

&#x20;

I am applying to become a Chanyuan celestial for the following reasons:

Having discovered Lifechanyuan, I feel a calling to the collective lifestyle and have memories of it from before they were educated out of me as a young child, I wish to refine myself spiritually and other ways, and strive to prepare for the Thousand Year World.

I revere nature and the Greatest Creator, and I am studying the 800 values for New Era Human Beings.

&#x20;

I have been divorced but have no children or other obligations.

My field of interest has been in wired and wireless communications, analogue and some digital, all my life.

I have been driving a taxicab in Southern Florida, the United States of America, for nearly twenty years.

&#x20;

Your kind consideration is appreciated,

Joel Wilson

&#x20;
