Yet another day...
Feeling lethargic today. Slept till (blush) 12 plus today. After which din do much, just play the day away, acquiring this new game, Arc the Lad, recently. Attempt to do the stuffs chun kit wants during the late afternoon but after an hour, felt more lethargic and went to sleep again (haha...).
Woke up late, and had to rush down to Cakkavala meditation. Was about 10 minutes late (partly due to the rain too) and was 7.46 when i could finally get to meditate. The conditions were terrible. The corner i sat was like a hot spot, I was sweating. And the loud music neighbours were playing did not help. Overall just had no heart to meditate. Give me back Cheng Beng!!! haha... Sigh, I guess it just my mind...
Saw gordan, ananda, teddy, hendra and sumantri there. Was quite surprise to see ananda actually. Always talk so much cock with him online through MSN but it was the first time I had actually spoke to him in person. Feels a bit weird, haha... The only other time i had met him was, hmmm, new year eve at PKS? At that time din speak to him at all i think... It is a wonder what messenger service like ICQ or MSN can do... Paiseh gordon, bang seh you. I thought you are going off with them, hall 3(ananda) or hall 11(kin song). Really hungry so i thought i would go off first. Sigh, I tot you all will go supper...
PS: For the snake analogy thing, just want to elaborate more on it. It just means people might not readily accept the truth. Different methods need to be employed for different people. The person is like us human, living in the dream. Emptiness is just the true nature of all phenomena. For all of us deep in the dreams, we find it real and there is the snake (suffering) but if we would only realise that we are in a dream and awaken to that dream, then everything would end. - contributed by Sin (sadhu sadhu sadhu! Run for 26th MC okie?)
PS: I forgot to add one another stuff in. During the talk, Rinpoche also said that if we understand the teaching on emptiness, then we would think something like this: 1 incense is good enuf to offer buddha; 100 million incense is never enuf to offer buddha. Go and interpret this! :)
