9.00 a.m Buddharupa was sat in position
10.30 a.m. PHBS is set for the consecration ceremony
Sayadaw U Silacara from Klang was invited to perform the ceremony.
Consecration means associating the place with the spiritual upliftment so that devotees who come to this place of worship can focus his/her thoughts on the Enlightened One. Hence what better person but Sayadaw U Silacara .
Taking Precepts and Puja Chanting by devotees.
Offerings of lights to the Blessed Ones
Chanting and Blessings
A lunch Dana
PHBS called it a day after a short Mandarin Dhamma Sharing by Bro. Leong Kok Heng. His topic " Buddhist Heritage of the world."
All's Well that ends well.
It was a tiring day for both volunteers and committee members nevertheless it was a day well- spent.
With that PHBS has a new aspiration, that is, to see more new faces and new blood to give a boost to the running of the centre. Well??
......moments to ponder...
Although Albert Einstein was certainly not a Buddhist, these statements sound much like it:
"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the 'universe', a part limited in time and space."Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one."
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separate from the rest
- a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affectation for a few people near us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
