Unexpected... I was there!!!

Vassa Offering Ceremony

Devotees offer necessities to buddhist monks who observe three-month rainy season retreat (Vassa) . During Vassa, the monk will practice buddhism (esp. meditation) diligently in order to attain enlightenment while it is easier for the devotees to learn Dharma from & make food offerings for them as the monks will only stay at one place. At the end of Vassa, it is Kathina which is a time of giving, for the laity to express gratitude to monks. Offering items will include new robes.


We started off by making offering to the Buddha at the Bodhi tree and also in shrine hall, followed by chanting and offering ceremony. Felt peaceful & joyful during the ceremony :')

Temple visit 

 A relaxing & inspiring trip to the famous Dong Zen Temple which was aimed to build up the fellowship among the members while exposing them to the culture of Mahayana Buddhism. 

We first visited to the Dhamma Study Centre and had a briefing of the FGS's educational organization. Coincidentally, the MMU students were also there. We had a short inspiring video-- Joyful Fish and a motivating debriefing by venerable. It was about the mind, attitude & perception of life. 

Later, we went to the art gallery to appreciate the art pieces. We then paid our homage to the Buddha's relics (sarira), the physical remains of Buddha in the form of tiny pearl-like, translucent and multi-coloured beads. The holy relics represent wholesome cultivation of precepts, meditation and wisdom. There are relics of physical body (Buddha's physical remains) and relics of the Dharma body (expounded teachings by Him). Seeing the Buddha's relics is like seeing the Buddha Himself. We pay homage to the relics which symbolize the Buddha and the characteristics of an enlightened body. By viewing the holy relics, it inspires us to develop loving-kindness and compassion, to understand Buddha's valuable teachings and to practice the Dharma.

Soon after, we tried out the sutra calligraphy. Due to time constraint, we performed calligraphy with 2-sentence sayings instead of the 260+ words prajnaparamita sutra. When one concentrates on performing the calligraphy, one would become mindful and thus with continuing practice, gradually free from deluded thoughts or defilements with arising wisdom. It is believed that one could attain one-mindedness and ease of body and mind by practicing sutra calligraphy with mindfulness.

After that, we went the main shrine hall and having a briefing about the activities organised by FGS and their significance. Then, we had a nice vegetarian meal at FGS's Tea House. 

Overall, it was a fun & eye-opening trip. Sadhu to the organizing committees and all the participants. May you all remember what been learned especially the Three Good -- Do Good Deeds, Say Good Words & Think Good Thought, and apply in daily life, in order to be happier and carefree! ;") Sadhu! Sadhu! Sadhu! (Excellence!)

Impermanence

Impermanence ...

What do you understand about it?
How much do you know about it?
Experience it before?
How much of you being affected by it?


~~~ It does affects me. However, once you understand it, you will eventually start to accept it ~~~


10.35pm 14 august 2010

The problem is you and not me.... you think too much unnecessary stuffs~~!
I told u that if i'm not okay, I will tell you.. I'M not ok.. 
If i'm okay, I will tell you I am okay.. 
You asked me what I want from u..
I told u many many times what I want.. just that you never remember that...
or keep forgetting...

I cherish the friendship, can we back to normal? 
But you react differently now....
Can you just forgot what had happened? or tell me what is in your mind? and not keeping all in your heart?

I know you will never tell me what I want to hear...I'm still me who wants to know what I want to know from you.....till someday in future which I don't know when...
I know what you did is for my own good....
But I still want to know....

I don't know what's the real reason for you to act like this...
I know I should respect your decision....
and sorry for not respecting you most the time...
You told me you don't want see me feel hurt after you tell me what i want to hear....
but do you know..
now and then, i feel hurt/emo because of you and not another.....

dream

Don't because of one failure, you give up....
Try not only once, but try till you succeed....
If you give up too soon, you will not get what you dreaming of,
Yet you may loss what you have so far......

1114pm 22 July 2010

I thought you are near... but actually you are not....
I thought you are close... but actually you are not...
I thought you are nice... but actually you are not..
I thought you are great... but actually you are not...
I thought I am good, but actually I'm not...
I thought I am kind, but actually I'm not....
I thought we are enemies, but actually we are not...
I thought we are friends, but actually we are not...
I thought we are not strangers, but actually we do....

So near yet so far....

Law of attraction

Secret - Law of attraction....

Do you believe in it?

I never thought that during the very short discussion about it, I responded to this question~~

When they were talking about who gave the talk on law of attraction during 4th ehipassiko camp, without thinking twice, I immediately said, I don't believe in it.

It was very spontaneous and sounded like I'm out of topic at that moment. And of course all the attention were drawn to me not long after that...

He said, "Why? Did you use the correct method taught in the book??"
Before I can reply...
She said, "It always works for me. Maybe you don't wait for longer time, is it?"

I said, " Oh, can you share with us your experience?"

She said, "I don't like waiting for a taxi. So everytime before I out from the house, I will have some positive thinking. And when I reach, I don't need to wait long for the taxi. And many other experiences"

I said, "Oh, that's interesting. Maybe it just works for you and not me. All my positive thinking never come true."

She said, " Maybe you give up too fast before it can occur."

Self-thought: Did I do it correctly? Am I giving up too fast? Shall I give it a try again?

hmm....

10.49am 22 July 2010

Part II: As it is now

so, how's the eye-seeing exercise?
what's your reaction or what's your partner's reaction?

I did observe the reaction of some of my friends or even myself. (^.^)

1. Some keep on laughing (because his/her partner is of same gender...LOL..)
2. Some try hard to complete the task and they managed to complete it.
3. Some try not to laugh but having a hard time to complete the task.
4. Some just look normal.

So what's yours?
(Below is only my opinion)

1. You laugh because you feel it is not appropriate to look into the eyes of someone from same gender especially strangers.

2. You need to complete the task no matter how uncomfortable you feel.

3. You feel it is not appropriate to look into eyes of opposite gender but you wanna complete the task.

4. You don't feel anything, it is normal to look into the eyes of opposite or same gender. ....

 etc....

So, no matter what's your reaction, there is no right or wrong....

I just want you to know that...  if you realize it, that is actually an idea/thought/opinion that you trained yourself  since young that,

1. It is not appropriate to look into the eyes of someone from same gender especially strangers.

2. No matter how tough is the given task, you need to complete it. 

3. It is rude to look into eyes of opposite gender. 

4. It is normal to look into the eyes of opposite or same gender. ....

 etc....

When you realize this is just your own idea/thought/opinion, then tell yourself to overcome/break the barrier. You are one way to mindfulness. 

It is just the same..

either when you feel sad, angry, etc..

if you realize the reason why u are feeling sad, angry, etc... 

then you will be less sad, angry, etc.........

hmm, i'm not sure how many of you will understand what I'm writing...

But the message to bring back is to help you to be less affected by own moods, and be more mindful about your own mood/surrounding....

When you are more mindful, you will be more concentrate/focus in your daily activities...

Live in present, friends Y(^.^)Y

Part I: As it is now

In the recent ehipassiko camp, there is a dhamma talk entitled "As it is now", which I think this is the best talk I ever attended.....

First, let me ask you....

1. Do you get angry/easily fed up when somebody said something that you dislike to hear?

2. Do you get angry/easily fed up when someone do something that you don't like?

3. Do you get angry/easily fed up when you found out that your friends go out with another friends without telling you? 

4. Do you get angry/easily fed up when your friends don't reply your sms or email?

5. Do you get angry/easily fed up when your mom doesn't listen to your idea?

6. Do you get angry/easily fed up when your friends break their promise or cancel the appointment at the very last minute? 

7. Do you get angry/easily fed up when your boyfriend doesn't call you?

8. Do you get angry/easily fed up when your friends/father/someone make fun of you in front lots people/relatives/girlfriends/boyfriends?

and the lists go on....

Okay, next do you realize that you are angry/easily fed up and start to scold/complain about the things of any mentioned above??

and next question: Why are we angry/easily fed up about the things? It is actually very minor part in our life and we can get angry/easily fed up for sometimes before we cool down.....

In our own life, we have our own ideas/dreams/thoughts which to your own selves, you think it is the right things that everyone should follow..... this is the ideas that make you think that 

1. My friends should talk to you politely.

2. It is wrong for my friends to do this things.

3. My best friends should inform you where she goes/does/etc or your best friends should only go out with you and not others.

4. My friends should reply your sms/email in less than a day.

5. My mom should at least to listen to your idea before saying anything.

6. Everyone should keep their promise and nobody should cancel their appointment last minute.

7. My bf should call me everyday.

8. Nobody should make fun of me in front of public.

So, we called this ideas/dreams/thoughts that you have developed since young as a barrier.

A barrier that make you feel angry/easily fed up.

So when you realize this barrier, tell yourself, I shouldn't get angry/easily fed up. This is just my own opinion and not others, why should we angry/easily fed up about it? 

Let me give you another example:

Find a friend or stranger of opposite gender.

Look into their eyes for 1 minute.

How do you feel??

Do you feel weird? 

Are you feeling like continue/stop looking into their eyes?

Are you feeling it is not appropriate to look into eyes of strangers/opposite gender??

So...... What is your answer??

(Part II: to be continued)

1.15 am 20 June 2010 

(After watching inception and while chatting with yong wei)

U say I listen; I say U listen

I always wonder why people always say first love is very hard to forget...


1. Because it is the first time you fall in love and do all the special things with the first one?
2. Because you do everything for the one ?......
3. Because......


I couldn't think of any now.. maybe if u have different analysis, can drop a comment...


But I have a different opinion on this idea.
It is not the first love you feel it is hard to forget,
It is the unsolved puzzle you have for the first love....


When there is something happened..
Something which is unexplainable
and it happened between two people,
In either friendship, relationship.
You don't plan to reveal what is in your mind,
You don't plan to reveal how you feel,
You don't plan to tell what is happening,
You plan to hide everything,
Which you think it is the right choice to do,
Which you think it is right decision,
Which you think it is your right to do so,
Which you think it is the best for the one.


But before you think all these,
Have you ever
know what's in the one's mind?
know what's the feeling in the one?
know what's the one had gone through?


Most important,
Have you ever think from the one side?
Does the one prefer what you have decide for him/her?
Does the one will feel grateful for what you do?


Think twice,
The most important ingredient
either in a friendship or relationship
is TRUST.


Imagine,
When someone you like/respect/close to,
Hurt you in one way,
Either it is due to third party;
e.g. gossips which may not be true, but you believe is what the third party say,
e.g. parents give you a big sum of money for you to leave their children (most are in series ^.^)
e.g. anything that can happen....
Either it is due to individual,
e.g. you feel that both of you are not meant together,
e.g. you feel that the one is not suitable for you,
e.g. you know you are only flirting around,
e.g. you feel that the one fall for somebody else.


Because you believe in third party,
Because you believe in what you see, feel and listen,
Because you never approach/never ask,
Because you always have your own opinion/reasoning,
Because of ego,
You made the one suffer.


When misunderstanding occurs,
and it never resolves,
You will always put them in mind,
Because it is human nature,
When you don't know why it is happening,
You will always want to find out the answer.


An answer to the unsolved puzzle in your life.


And thus, it becomes something which is very hard to forget
till the puzzle is solved.

If there is a doubt, make it clear. Don't assume. Don't just believe the first instinct.

Day 3

Nothing much, the pharmacist in-charge was kinda busy, so I learnt less things everyday.
Today, help her count dangerous drugs' stock and visited the ward. Had a look on how the nurse prepared the medication to serve the medication to the patients.

And attended a talk by a company selling B-Cobal and get free lunch "MacD"
* wink * wink *

Other than that, it was such a boring day....and started to feel the conflict in working place.

>.<

9pm 12 May 2010

Day 2

haha.. to those reading, u guys must be very disappointed with my first day and find my elective quite boring. :) yeah, indeed it is.. especially there are all basic things that a pharmacist will encounter during their PRP. Maybe it is an early exposure for me :) I still find it quite interesting despite the boredom.. hope i get to know more new things and getting more new experience.

hmm, today, I learnt how to fill in dangerous drug that is supplied to ward into poison book. There are lots terms for stock ( issue return, issue stock and etc...) which I haven't really can digest in just ONE day.

And I attended their meeting to discuss about opening a pharmacy satellite in the hospital. Yeah, fyi, both in and out patients are combined in this pharmacy. It looks very different from the general hospital and now there are slowly making changes to it. I might have a chance to contribute some ideas, however, currently, my brain doesn't want to think so much, maybe still in holiday mood.

nah.. it is just the second day.. there are still (6 x 4 = 24) minus 2 = 22 days to go...

I love my lunchtime because it is my leg-resting time =D
I feel like dozing off after dinner and wake up next morning..
I reluctant to wake up 7 am in the morning today >.<
Tomorrow, I'm going to have my breakfast alone T.T

9.12pm May 11 2010

Day 1

Day 1

Time to rise: 7 am
Time to leave after breakfast: 8.00am
Time reach: 8.15am
To describe the day: Great + Tiring legs + Bored-ness
Experience:
1. New things learnt about the organisation and management of pharmacy in hospital setting.
2. Roles and tasks of pharmacists in hospital setting.
3. Fill medication for in-patients and pack for discharged medication. (same like in sem 4 hospital attachment)

Hoping to learn more new things tomorrow.

Happy Birthday, Ming-Yi
