Haven't had time to update the blog for months. Yes, been very very busy.

A year is coming to an end. It has been a very challenging year- non-stop deadlines at work, grandfather passed away, car accident, broken car engine, homesickness due to not meeting my family for almost a year...

BUT it has also been a good year- I am reconnected with my spiritual path in an active way through Kechara House, which was very unexpected although much prayed for. What more could a girl ask for- a beautiful centre to learn Dharma from, supportive spiritual friends, a flamboyant and a good looking ex-model Tibetan Lama fluent in English who's very good looking, oops... Here, YOU see for yourself...

I find it funny when people ask me: "Is he a MONK?" There's no rules in the world that says monks can't be gorgeous :p .

May be people are not aware that many monks (yes, I have met many of them) are very good looking. Look at this picture of His Holiness Trinlay Thaye Dorje below...

Need I say more?? :P (Stop ogling and drooling!)

Trust me, being a 'groupies' for a *Bodhisattva is better than ogling at any 'normal' good looking man, for a simply reason- when you admire (not ogle at !) a Bodhisattva, you are aspiring to be one yourself but when you ogle at a good looking man, it just increases one's attachment to looks and desire. But we, lucky we, have the best of both worlds!!! We have Bodhisattvas who are very good looking hahahah!!! *Can't believe my luck!*

What are you waiting for? Tear down that Tom Cruise, Orlando Bloom, Brad Pitt pin-ups and put up Tibetan lamas posters on that wall!!!!

So what will happen to me in 2007? Gonna work harder to improve myself and let me check in the crystal ball for a reading...yes, I see myself meeting more good looking Bodhisattvas, muahahahahahaha!!!!

Have a good 2007 every one! May you have the merits to meet great spiritual masters who have wisdom to guide you and bring you to the next level in your spiritual path and may you have the merits to meet good looking ones too hehehe *evil*

Instead of making another new year resolution for my own selfish reason, I thought I'd do a dedication prayer and think about OTHERS more... * Bravo to the second national car Perodua's advertisement on Malaysian tv with message that perhaps it's time to think about others*

Here's the excerpt from Shantideva's A Guide to Bodhisattva's Way of Life composed in the 8th century ...

May all beings everywhere, plagued by sufferings of body and mind,
Obtain an ocean of happiness and joy by virtue of my merits.

May no living creature suffer,commit evil or ever fall ill.
May no one be afraid or belittled, with a mind weighed down by depression.
May the blind see forms, and the deaf hear sounds.
May those whose bodies are worn with toil be restored on finding repose.

May the naked find clothing, the hungry find food.
May the thirsty find water and delicious drinks.
May the poor find wealth, those weak with sorrow find joy.

May the forlorn find hope, constant happiness and prosperity.
May there be timely rains and bountiful harvests.
May all medicines be effective and wholesome prayers bear fruit.

May all who are sick and ill quickly be freed from their ailments.
Whatever diseases there are in the world, may they never occur again.

May the frightened cease to be afraid and those bound be freed.
May the powerless find power and may people think of benefiting each other.

For as long as space endures, for as long as living beings remain, until then may I too abide, to dispel the misery of the world


* A Bodhisattva is motivated by pure compassion and love. Their goal is to achieve the highest level of being: that of a Buddha. Bodhisattva is a Sanskrit term which translates as: Bodhi [enlightenment] and sattva [being]. And their reason for becoming a Buddha is to help others.
