Meal after a healthy day..

Guilty.....

Wild boars @ Bukit Jalil Park

I spotted this when went for a walk at the park just now.

They are wild.., but tame. (Doesn't sound right... Hmmmm). They don't seem to be bothered with my presence, though I stand a mere few feet away....

Soothing View

Its soothing & relaxing to watch them.., especially when the aquarium is clean & clear.

Happy Wesak Day

Happy Wesak Day to all my Buddhist friends. 


Yes, I am a practicing Buddhist. At least, I try as much as possible.


I had a discussion with two friends recently, on whether Buddhism is a religion, or teaching? 
We were confused, and not sure. 


So, I googled, and found this excerpt from Wikipedia. 
Buddhism (Pali/Sanskrit: बौद्ध धर्म Buddha Dharma) is a religion and philosophy encompassing a variety of traditions, beliefs and practices, largely based on teachings attributed to Siddhartha Gautama, commonly known as the Buddha (Pāli/Sanskrit "the awakened one"). 


And, another excerpt from another website cites this:-

• Is Buddhism a Religion?
To many, Buddhism goes beyond religion and is more of a philosophy or 'way of life'. It is a philosophy because philosophy 'means love of wisdom' and the Buddhist path can be summed up as:

(1) to lead a moral life,
(2) to be mindful and aware of thoughts and actions, and
(3) to develop wisdom and understanding.

And, we also discussed and also confuse, whether are we Buddhist or Taoist? 
In all our birth certificates, our religion is stated as Buddhist. 


But, we also pray to Kuan Yin (Goddess of Mercy), Tua Pek Kong (I don't know what's the translation should be....). 
And this is Taoist, right? No? Don't know? 


Not that any of this matter.... but I just thought of thinking it out loud.

Greetings from Ananpurna

After 9-days of trekking.., with an average of 6-hours walk each day.., with aches at almost every part of the legs, am back to the city.

Nope, not back home yet, but just done trekking. Days spent in the mountains are really good for soul.

Shall be back soon with more updates.
