Jenesys Followup Trip

6 of us from past year's Jun batch managed to make it; from the original 40; which we call ourselves 'JeneTempuras', from the numerous tempuras and tofu meals we had during our 2 week stay in the Land of the rising Sun. It was heart warming to meetup with old pals like Supri, Roger, Umi, JP and Sofia. 5 days of jam-packed activities, workshops and fieldtrips and i brought home with me not only a bloated stomach (we had 5 meals a day) but also renewing bonds with my jenetempuras  friendships made with the other previous batches; some as early as this March. We also brought home an aim in mind to do a Tree-planting activity in each of our communities this coming 10Oct2010 (10.10.10)

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...
