I wonder how will people see me if I shave my hair. I guess I must be looking weird to strangers. Relatives and friends must be thinking that I must have lost my mind. I believe all my cats cannot see any differences in me.
I went to one of the temple in Geylang this afternoon to buy a Kadampa Stupa. I have been searching everywhere for one. Finally I found it! Quickly I went to the temple to buy it.
It is a small stupa. It fits well into my alter and I love it!
This stupa contains approximately 2,247 four dharmakaya relic mantra plus 136 mantras of the misc 17 mantras(8 times of each mantra, 17 X 8 = 136 mantras), sandlewood incense powder and precious stones.
All these mantras are powerful. The reason that I bought it is to use to circumbulate my cats. I don’t want just to rescue and feed them. I want to help them to move to the higher realm. If I love them, I should not stop at just feeding them or taking care of them for life. And of course, I have to spiritually self progress myself. Otherwise, how can I help if I am still deluded by samsara.
Learning at Kadampa centre has brought a whole new life to me:). Instead of seeing hope for myself, I see hope for the animals and others. I am more than happy that I am able to give benefits to not only my cats but also to those around me.
Buddhism is an extremely profound religion. It is not about visiting temples to pray or ask for protection. It is about investigation, contemplation and meditation in order to understand the truth. And all these require a lot of self discipline, effort, patience and time.
Buddhism emphasize on love and compassion. Only through love and compassion then our suffering will cease.
Wisdom is a virtuous intelligences that cannot be learnt through knowledge.
Buddhists who sincerely practise the path, at some level are usually wise.
I am proud to be who I am today and humble for what I have today.
Will I shave my hair one day? Well, I really don’t know…
