Jingyi and Jingrui will be going to France tomorrow...
Wishing them a safe trip and have a wonderful trip.. Be well, happy and peaceful.
How I wish I am part of them??
Haha thinking too much already!
Silly girl
Yesterday, I went to centre for Marme Monlam.. I can't say it is a very wonderful one... But I miss His Holiness.. I miss his chant.. :)
Anyway, after the lamp offering, there was a dharma talk session.
Hmm, it was an simple Q&A session. People start asking question. I have a question which I am not comfortable asking so I told Kai Sheng my question and he tried explaining to me and the best part, he ask Tulku Ajam, Kalsang Rinpoche and Khenpo. the question is, "What is the correct way to confess when we know we have done something wrong and have wanted to confess and purify."
There is actually four steps to this. This is being answered be Kalsang Rinpoche and translated by Tulku Ajam.
1st step : Have a place to do this confession. (A place is not the place where you have to find anything but however it should be something like a condition to aid.)
2nd step : One should realise that the fault one does is incorrect. One should understand the fault we have done is very very bad. Causing hurt to oneself and to others.
3rd step : One should really feel regretful over its act and confess and tell oneself never to commit the same fault again.
4th step : One should promise to the deity that we will never do that "bad", incorrect act again. One should promise that one will never do it again.(never break the promise.)
Er... another question arises as we are not perfect. What will happened when we break the promise?? hehe.. sound so KM!! haha Silly.
We will have to do confession again. This is very important... everytime we are doing confession, we are doing reflection at the mean time so it will be really helpful. It somehow also serves as a reminder. :)
Wow... I actually learn so much... I am really grateful.
Another thing... Auntie Lily (Tulku Ajam told her!) told me this morning. :)
We should always think that we are at the very bottom of the mountain. (which is very true =P!!)
We should always think that our teacher is at the very top of the mountain. We should look up to them and try our very best to climb the mountain and reach them.
Hmm... during the climbing, we should not look back and admire the seceny, look at how different people are progrssing.. we just focus at our very own speed and walk out very own way. If we stop, people can overtake us, we stop, we become lazy and we will slow down everything. In this way, we will never reach the place where our teacher is standing. They will be dissappointed as they will be waiting longer. They might not wait either.
I am thinking, to reach that standard is never easy.. I don't know if I can do it or not but I am trying. I hope I will not dissappoint you.

Thoughts, thoughts, thoughts, never ending, every flowing.
I wish that one day, I can swim out of the lake, river to the deep sea and I can step into the real deep see... Like once rinpoche say, at the very surface of sea is water that is waves... it is always moving... and it is always vibrating. when you go deeper in to the water, you can no longer feel the waves but one can only feel the vibration. And once when one reach the very very bottom of the sea, one can never feel anything.. everything, the water become still. It is very spacious and it is not moving. Still!!!
Maybe this is what we should try to achieve when we relate sea with thoughts!!
Mountains too... for practice...
okok.... time to amend your report...
tired...! very tired.!!
