Far from the Maddening Crowd...


Just back from my 1 Week break from work and insanity...stayed at a local kampong; and was pretty pleased with the fact that i dun have my HP with me. No TV, no news and no internet. I was basically tug into the middle of nowhere at Lake Cini where the nearest town is 15km away. It took me a couple of days to get used to the lifestyle there and was pretty restless when i only had 2 meals a day. However, after a while, it actually felt like I'm back home...pretty strange feeling...I must have been living in an environment like dat in my previous life. The Lake's water level seem to have risen by quite a bit this time; flooding some of the islets and some of the bridges Rajan built; thanks to global warming. It's a pity nothing much has been done on preserving the ecology of the lake; weeds are just spreading like wildfire. Even the water hole below the wooden huts where i lived has risen by quite a bit. According to the seasons; it shouldnt be raining so much now already...

It's a cruel world out that...HISTORY is always written by the victors...and it;'s sad teacher sakamuni teachings have become such in the 21C

As a buddhist , i feel sadden by the recent chain of events involving monks; in particular...the degradation of buddha's teachings these days... first it was Myanmar , now it's Tibet . We all know when sakyamuni buddha taught the dharma 2600yrs ago, he specifically state some rules monks should follow, and entering and engaging into politics is a taboo. Apart from that. did you notice how these poor monks are being manupulated by other interest groups, mainly western democractic /human rights group... Yes, i dun agree that china should occupy tibet . but have we wondered...if they allow tibet to go free... wat would happen to taiwan , xinjiang and other semi- autonomous regions? there are around close to 200 nation states on this planet currently...we dun need to to complicate things further....Singapore for eg... wasn't slated to go independent anyhow...Would the United States of America willing to forgo some of their 50 states they occupy? Look at how the indi...
