The class have already reached the medium scope of the Lam Rim. Wow! Time sure flies huh? Here I am going to write about what I learned while referring to my notes and then I will elaborate a bit.
It is said that the Buddha gave his own flesh so that he can learn the Dharma. We are also reminded of the three pots which would either be leaky, contaminated, or upturned.
Now, i am going to write about a form of meditation.
Think about these few things. What is it that everyday we think of the most? What would be a bad day? What would you do on this bad day to make yourself feel better?
Think about it. Make a [.....]

Attacked by mosquitos
Today, when I was waiting outside of the house. When I rung the doorbell, the sound of the doorbell probably awakened some mosquitoes.
First, there was a duo of mosquitoes. I killed them in cold blood. Then, a massive swarm came. I killed most of them. Some of them managed to escape. Some were still alive as they fell out of my hands. I was in such a frenzy, I proceeded to step on their semi-motionless carcasses. I could not control myself.
I regret so badly. I feel so sorry [.....]

Tomorrow is Malaysia Day. A holiday that has never been celebrated until this year.
I do not really know what is Malaysia Day about and I am not really interested but just to show I am a bit patriotic about my country, I will copy paste the jalur gemilang song and link to a video.

You see the picture above. What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comment section below.
What I think.I would visualize the car as a person such as myself. The sheep would represent all things that would be distracting me or upsetting me etc.Even though, the car would be stuck driving against the current of sheep. The SHEEP WILL GO BY.
Nothing is permanent. Even emotions and such. I know this is a very abstract angle to view that picture. Well, I am quite an odd person myself.

I most likely would not be a poet of any sort but I just thought of writing this. Do not blame me for any bad poetry skills.
The Guru is so great,
Learning from one would be the greatest fate.
The Buddhas are so kind,
Creating a beautiful treasure to find.
The Dharma is so wonderful,
It is a treasure so beautiful.
The Sangha are so wise,
They will help you rise.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I bet some people out there may not think it is good. But to me it is good enough. This is actually the first original poem that I composed.
Well, at least I am not telling you the days of the week like Rebecca Black. Oh, is that outdated. Never mind.

Kechara Tea House
The Kechara Tea House in Shanghai has finally been opened to the public. That is really cool.
Rinpoche posted an article on it on his blog:

The exterior was so mesmerizing. I think many people will be attracted to go and dine in the Tea House just through its exterior design. Then, I saw the images on its beautiful interior.
Pictured above is the exterior
I think that all of the designing were mostly due to Aunty Li Kheng.
This is another great feat of Kechara to spread two things. Buddhism and [.....]
