GURU MASTER, HERE I COME !

GURU MASTER is going to Malaysia !!

What a piece of great news for all disciples of True Buddha School in Singapore & Malaysia.

Needless to say, WT & I were superbly thrilled ! How many times in our lifetime we get to see Guru Master ? Read that more than 150,000 people will be attending the Kalachakra Puja Ceremony in KL next Sat. The last time he held the same ceremony in Taiwan, people were up in the mountains as early as 4am to reserve a place at the front courtyard of the temple to catch a glimpse of Guru Master in the afternoon. WT & I joked that Guru Master is even more popular than superstar. Dun think David Beckham will command such attention !! ha.ha...

It will be a dream come true for me if Guru Master were to bless me personally. Will pray hard for the chance to kneel infront of him to seek his blessings. Tis better than strike 4D !!! ha.ha...

Yes, will pray hard ...

Countdown to KL trip - 6 days.

Work = Passion ?

The last time I felt like a horse with all 4 legs binded, I fled to Scotland for half a year and toured Europe before coming back to continue my studies grudgingly. What about this time ? Where will I go ? With no "mother" scholarship, how far away can I escape & how long can my savings last me ?

I've prayed hard for a job that allows me more time for myself , my family, to meditate & to volunteer at the temple, shelving plans to move overseas. Buddha has been kind. I got what I wanted. However, I still feel empty. I thought I can be contented just putting in 9 hours a day to earn my keep & pursue my passion after office hours. But I cant. .. I cant keep up the same energy level as I was doing events, in this job. Sitting at the desk from 9 to 6 is really a pain.

Once, a friend told me she likened herself to being a prostitute. Dispensing duty as told without feeling, take her money & then go home. When I look at the veterans who are in my job for more than 20 years, this analogy do pop up sometimes. From them I see this ability to differentiate work from private life. In my mind, i questioned how we can carry on life and engaging in something that takes up most of our waking hours that we have no interest & passion in ? I cant .... Well, work is just work you say ... but sorry not me ... at least not at this moment.

For now, let's see how long I can remain as a "prostitute" ...
