weekend = free time? NOMORE
I had not been posting since forever. I am not to blame...haha...school work is killing me. Everyweek, there are plenty of assignments without fail. With lab this sem, it's gg to get only worse.
Anyway...I went to Ajahn Brahm's talk today. It's abt how to deal with the lost of the loved ones. How profound he can get! There are things that suddenly enlighten me, such as the temporary feeling of lost and our temporary departure. I of course had this impression long time ago, but i dun know the possible reality behind it. He gave some real life examples on how highly possible we will meet our family in our next lives. There's no need to grief. Why we fell in love with only certain ppl, the answer is becoz: "here we go again" I thot that was humorous.
Remember the good quality of the person we loved and spend every single moment with our loved ones now.
Also, things that were previously reinforced in me by the influence of taoism or christianity have slightly different views from the perspective of buddhism.
In the end of the sessions, he cracked jokes:
I am leaving soon today, u dont have to miss me, dont grieve, coz I'll be back (with our karma links). BTW, I am reincarnated once in two/three weeks in Singapore. LOL (He's staying in a monastry in Perth and spreading the dhamma there. He was previously graduated from Cambridge U) I really love him. He said, I come back so often to spore, the obvious reason is prolly in my past life I was a Singaporean.
But a message that really moves me today is why we suffer? We are asking things in life that can never be fulfilled. It's so true.
