Today I finally went to the Shah Alam Buddhist Temple, after so many weeks of absence over there. But it was a tremendous wow. I really learned a lot from one of my favorite speakers, Dr. Chan. She’s a great speaker. Maybe she’s a speaker whom I really look up to at Dharma talks. She shared about the five precepts and the five ennoblers today in a very interesting way as usual. I guess only hers and Uncle Vijaya’s talks have not made me dozed off so far. They are able to present their talks in a very well planned and organized manner. Perhaps it’s due to the fact that they are both teachers. Well, if I were to really like the career of teaching, I really do have a lot to learn from these two super seniors. In my opinion, the part that really captured my attention for the Dharma talk today was the second part rather than the first because the latter was more towards answering those FAQ that really freed our minds from cracking just to figure out how to put the five precepts into proper daily practices. However, the second part was really amazing as it let me realize how much I would still have to catch up to be not only a better Buddhist, but also as an improved person as a whole i.e. a student, a learner and so on. Metta. This is really a very strong word to me now as, if I’m not mistaken; it all starts with the generating and sharing of loving kindness to all beings in this world. It’s just so wonderful and perfect that made me didn’t regret at all attending today’s session. And I just don’t know why each time I attended a Dharma talk, I just have that kind of relief in me which eventually made me feel happier and lighter, besides being wiser and seeing things in a more open-minded way. I guess that’s just what a holy place such as the temple can do to us. Haha. From this moment onwards, I’m gonna really try my real best to practice metta as I would wanna have the love and peace surrounding me. Wish me luck. Haha. And today is also officially the 7th day I fast which is equivalent to a week; that is if I were fasting today. I didn’t because I knew I was going to the temple so no religious conflict, alright. Luv BoBo.

妈妈的爱

今天我得了一个新发现
我发现到妈妈脸上的憔悴
我发现到妈妈这些年来真的老了
我发现到妈妈这些年的努力和付出
都设为了孩子们
而我能感觉到她最大的付出是为了我
为了看到毕业
为了看到我做有用的人
我突然间好想妈妈哟
突然间好想跟她道谢
也很想跟他道歉
有时候生命就是这样
竟然会没发现这些得点点滴滴
身为一个孩子的我怎么可以没注意到这些呢
我突然间觉得好失败哦
不过这也是一件好事
跟加的给了我突破力
让我继续的生命里奋斗
我知道我这些年来都没有为了妈妈做过很多事
他却一直不断地为了孩子们的幸福和生活而遭想
我也还不懂我这一生能够为妈妈做多少
但我一直相信只要他开心我就快乐这道理
所以妈妈
我一定会为了你得到一个很好的成绩的
虽然说这一切都不是我最想要的
但我相信大家所作出来的选择一定都是为了我得最好
所以就算再难
只要是为了妈妈而奋斗
都是值得的
因为我也知道其实妈妈是知道我的么梦想的
虽然我没有被应许去追寻它
但我也没有被逼过去放弃它
所以我觉得这就是一家人的互相了解
互相信任
和互相背后默默的支持
到最后还是老话一句
我爱妈妈
