Wat was planned as a half day affair turn out to be a fruitful and meaningful way to spend the entire 1st day of 2009; learn many new stretching Yoga moves and Bhante was kind enough to allow 15min break for every 30min of sitting meditation; something i didnt achieve during my 2 weeks retreat recently at Cameron Highlands; i completed the day by completing my "acquisition" of the final buddha (in the background) from the Buddhist Library. Gotten the middle buddha after a 1 day retreat @ SBF in late nov and the smallest one after my 2 week retreat from Sam Poh last week...May everyone who read this blog be well, happy and free from evil thoughts for 2009.
