The following are the things I managed to jot down in my notebook as fast as I can. Some parts show my side of the notes. So, I will be sharing my opinions along the way. If there is any errors in what I have written. Please inform me. Thank you.
We all know how to listen to the Dharma but if we do not have the correct attitude towards the Dharma, we will not listen to the Dharma.
What is the correct attitude towards the Dharma? That is a [.....]
I really dislike getting bullied. I get bullied by someone at least once a year.
Here is the story about my bullying for today:
I got into a fight in school. Someone in class called me a ,"So Hai" I was already flaming up as I lost my bottle that had some sentimental value. I let him go the first time. Then, some kid treated me like a child by saying, "Don't cry lah!" I was really angry. I grabbed his hand and told him to back off.
Only to be attacked by the other guy. I was being strangled and I accidentally dirtied his pants when I tried to push away. I was pushed all the way to the wall. [.....]
There are many very good reasons to be vegetarian. Such as it is able to reverse heart disease. It is unfair towards animals when they are processed to become meat. Eating meat is very unclean as there is still some poop left in the meat.
If you love your dog, then why would you eat meat as you would be eating something that also had been a living thing.
It is very true to not eat something living only for our taste buds. That is extremely selfish.
When we are eating something that was once living, we would be telling someone else to kill for our stomachs. It is unfair towards the animal and the human as they will be accumulating [.....]
I am going to be writing down everything I learned in Simplified Lam Rim Class yesterday. If there is anything I missed out, please tell me. Please correct me if I am wrong. If there is something you do not understand or if there any questions you would like to ask me, please do so. I will do everything I can to look for the answers.
According to the Nalanda Teachings, before we can receive teachings. We need to know the three purities. That is the purity of the [.....]
We must stop animal cruelty. But how? If we ourselves eat meat, how will we stop animal cruelty?
The answer is stop eating meat. The animals suffer a lot when they are prepared for our bellies. That is why I am vegetarian. If you do not believe, watch these videos. After watching these videos, we should already be Vegetarian.
These videos are from Rinpoche's blog. I will post the link here:

Rinpoche is asking sincerely to us to help promote vegetarianism. Go Vegetarian, Stop the Cruelty! [.....]
I started to read the book that was edited by Trijang Rinpoche and translated by Michael Richards that is based on a teaching by Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche. I am going to share what I learned from the first chapter of the book today. That chapter is Day 1 of Pabongka Rinpoche's teachings.
Day 1 is an introductory discourse on the Lam Rim. Kyabje Pabongka Rinpoche gave this teaching as a motivational teaching for the teachings that would be coming in the following days.
Pabongka Rinpoche began with a lovely [.....]
Last Sunday, Kechara House had a Simplified Lam Rim Class. It was a very interesting class and I am going to share what I learned from it. I am not going to go very systematically so please bear with me.
Our Guru can be linked in a chain of action. If one part of the chain was not there. We would not have our Guru. For example, H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche came to Malaysia kind of against his own will as he preferred to stay in India. Rinpoche preferred [.....]
Well, i am a monitor in my new class. I think it is a huge burden with all the duties I have but I must still do it as I chose that path and if I don't do it no one else in my class will.
One of the more simpler duties is to bring the class record sheet. The only tough thing while doing that is that if my last class is the living skills class, I have to climb up three floors to the discipline office then walk down the same three floors to go home. I also have to be aware when doing this job as my uniform must be tidy and I have to check [.....]
Well, I am not really good at sports. Come to think of it, I think I might be retarded at anything sports related. I have had some very bad sports incidents before. Well, I guess I have to learn from them.
When I started to try out Basketball for the first time, I think I must have done something wrong and the basketball hit me right in the face. I lost a lot of marks on that. I should have been more aware when my friend was going to use a volleyball smash style to pass the ball.
When I played soccer, I was abandoned by the whole team and was stuck as goalkeeper when everyone else was no focusing [.....]
I have already been vegetarian for a week. I know it is not much but I still decided to blog about it.
I have been vegetarian in certain parts in my life. Sometimes for health reasons or just because Mama told me so. This time I choose to be vegetarian for as long as I live.
I have more education on the large amount of abuse that are being given to the animals that are being used. I have watched many videos of the torture that they are given. Here are some links to H.E. Tsem Tulku Rinpoche's blog that have videos and text about animal cruelty that goes to our stomachs: (Warning: Viewers discretion is advised! Don't say I [.....]
After a long day at school, one of the best things to do is to sit in front of my computer and watch some superheroes. Personally, I ha...
