WESTERN PURELAND

I finally get a glimpse into the pureland of Amituofo buddha through one of the animation vcd.

After watching and listening the vcd, my heart feel very happy and peaceful and i wanted to be reborn in the pureland of Amituofo.

Don't know why, whenever i heard chanting sound. I will feel very peaceful and had a very familiar feeling, like don't know when i heard it before.

Being reborn to that place is a good thing, everybody is kind-hearted and there will be no one who wil find fault with you ect. No more old age, sickness and death. No more working:). That's place sound very beautiful and i aspire to go there.

I will pray that all my past and present life debtors will forgive me and will not haunt me. I heard that this is a very powerful thing. From this day onwards, i will not harm any beings and will not bring harm to others.

A VISIT TO THE CLINIC

This morning, i went to a free TCM clinic for a consultation regarding my body, my menses is too irregular.

I went to see this TCM doctor which is specialise in gynae problems, mainly people who had difficulty in having children. When i see the doctor, she ask what is my problem and i told her and she ask me whether am i married, how many children ect.

I told her i am married for 4year but still no children cuz i don't want to have any. Then, she got very upset and said that have children must have it when one is young but the problem is i don't want any, i don't have the mentality, i still like my present life, carefree and travelling around the world with hubby.

She ask what if i were to be pregnant? This is a very senstitive question. If it was the former me, i will consider aborting it cuz i am not a buddhist, now, after going for classes and dharmma talk, chanting ect, i will give birth to it and love it with my own heart and sent my child to dharmma classes. Going for chanting ect and listening to dharmma talk made me more faithful in having a child.

If don't have much better, more carefree, can travel around the world, spend as and when i like but if have a child, i will have to be more prudent with my spending and no more holidays. Also, more time will be invested into the child but i am really thankful to my mum for making the decision to give birth to me when she is only 19 years old. If not, i won't have the chance to come into this world and had the chance to repent and the chance to get close to Buddha and a chance to go to the pureland of Buddha and attain enlightement.

Last time, i don't have this mentality, i thought money is everything and that i chose the wrong family but now i see the other side and learn that being rich can't buy everything and enlightement. Through some of my hardships in my life, i learn to be stronger and i had a chance to create good Karma thanks to my father who had been bad to us all these years if i am able to forgive him.

So whether have a child or no child, i don't really care. What i care for is i will gain englightement and will not come back to this world again. I want to be Buddha's good disciple every single life.

Amituofo May I be well and happy always, May i be free from sickness, dieases and emnity. May i be reborn into the pureland of Buddha and Bodhisattva.

MY BUSY & OCCUPIED LIFE

Ever since i had shifted house, i became more and more busy with my life and this had made me more occupied and happier.

When i got my house key, i am busy with my new house renovation and almost all of them are diy by me and hubby:) I had even became a painting expert by helping my hubby paint the whole house. Three bedrooms and 1 living room:).

Now, looking back and seeing the whole house covered with paints ect. These are the result of our hardwork of labour and sweat. We had diy the kitchen cabinet, sink, one table hanged on the wall, dining table and chair, tv console, walk-in-wardrobe, our platform bed and a feature wall to cover up the ugly bomb shelter.

We had refused to spend the money for renovation as we are thinking of selling off the house and moving to a smaller house 5 years later. Now, i am glad that we did save all our hard-earned money from spending them on those renovation contractors.

Firstly, now the market is so bad and we can't withdraw our money from our investment, if not we will lose a huge amount.

Secondly, we are hardly at home. Weekdays whole day off to work, back at home 7.30pm. Saturday half of the day spent doing household chores, 5pm off to the temple, 11pm back at home sleep. Sunday, Morning 8am off to the temple again, need to go back to mother-in-law's house, my mother's house. Back at home at night again.

So, now my life is more routine and occupied. Weekdays work, Saturday household chores and temple, Sunday morning temple, afternoon and evening still had to go back to my mother and parent-in-laws' house.

Poor hubby and me, hardly had time for ourselves. Our life is occupied with entertaining and playing different roles and characters. For me, subordinate to my bosses in my office, dutiful, loving and caring wife to my hubby at home, had some quiet time with Buddha and Bodhisattva, for weekend, became a maid liao, keeping the house clean and tidy, washing clothes ect. In the temple, play the role of Buddha disciple by chanting to him, being a student by listening to dharmma talk, daugther to my mom and still had to go back and play the role of a good daughther-in-law to my mother-in-law. Haiz why life had to be so difficult and full of responsiblities?

Tired and occupied. Runaway time to a quiet and relaxing place with my beloved hubby. 11Days of holiday to Thailand:) Giving ourselves a break from our hetic lifestyle. No more work, no more responsibilites, no more cooking, no more house hold chores, no more parents, families, hee hee

Spending quiet quality time together with hubby in our own world, no more playing different roles:) juz eat, sleep, play and concentrate on shopping and spending our hard-earned money Wohoo, Thailand here we are coming. But we will not forget about Buddha and Bodhisattva, we will forever worship you. Will spend some time in this holiday reflecting on the dharmma.
