Hoeh Beng Temple Trip

Today I went to Hoeh Beng Temple with UBF to visit Reverend Chuan Wen...the trip is very inspiring for me...the reverend share that learning Buddhism is not only practice by ourself but it is best to practice it in people...we will never learn of our strength and weakness if we did not interact with people...I found that it is very true...I learn a lot when I was interacting with groups...only by interaction that I was be able to learn that I still have a lot of problems and habits that should be change...for example I learn that I will be unhappy or sometime angry when others cannot achieve what I anticipated...I tend blame others for their imcopetance or weakness but I forget that the one that have problem is me...and me alone...only through interaction with people that I understand I am not so perfect as my heart will go up and down when interacting with outside world...its good that we have iniative to learn Buddhism by ourself...but it also important to go outside to meet people....it not only can it helps you to realise your strenght and weakness...but also present a chance for sharing of Dhamma to others...only through people that we will able to help others...to share and help whenever needed...also it give us opportunity to train our heart...just like Reverend said before:" Only through interaction with people that we will be able to practice and train our heart to be more and more like Buddha."

So enjoy interaction with people....share whatever you can...give a helping hand whenever the chances appear to you...train your heart and learn to change your habits....only through this that we can be closer to the Buddha....go down the path of a boddhisatta...you will never regret it....I know I won't regret whenever I can share Dhamma or my experience and give a helping hand to others....I know that I still lacks a lots compared to the Buddha...so lets us walk this road together kalyana mitra...let us learn and grow together!!! ^^
