Buddhist Youth Conference

Made a trip to buddhist youth conference. Very insightful trip. Have the chance to see fellow buddhist youth making a difference in pple's life.

It was quite refreshing when the way the speakers share their projects. To put it crudely, they are mad!! haha....the way they display their determination and how they tackle issues were remarkable.Projects like "project million lotus and Vesak@ Orchard were one of the few outstanding large scale projects done. Its always not just spreading buddhism. To me its about spreading the msg of peace and harmony.

I always have this thought of "Heaven on Earth". Nobody has died, rose to heaven and come back to inform us about heaven. To be able to transform the world into a heaven, isn't that more practical?

My idea of heaven: A place where there is absolute peace, equality and harmony. No greed hatred and delusion. The 3 poison that caused differences in this world and root of meaningless war. Pple gets delight in knowledge of salvation. No need to have a kingdom as notion of kingdom leads to privilege and suffering, commands and complains. After all, if monarchy can work, why are we in democracy. Every being still strives very diligently to bring more salvations to more world and thus attaining the stage of Tathagata.

I will try my best to summarize my findings from the conference and maybe to post up here. Or may be just contact me to get a copy to protect intellectual rights!
