In this lifetime I was born into an unremarkable family, neither poor nor rich, surnamed Lin in Fengyuan, Taichung County. In the 41 years of my life before I awoke to the truth, nothing went smoothly for me. You could say that I was a failure in every endeavor. This was probably a case of "the gods wanting someone to experience hardship and hunger before giving them an important mission."
說起來，我這一世出身平實，我們是台中豐原林家之後，但我在此之前，生活一直不是很順利，可以說是「屢仆屢敗」，大概是「天將降大任於斯人也，必先苦其心志、勞其筋骨」吧。
