Hectic yet very enriching past week. Feel more like a portable hard disk with unlimited memory space....or just trying to me. Information overloading now!!
Earlier this week, my colleague just throw me an advance excel guide and tell me to digest and work out a form for her data consolidation. In the past i rarely use excel and now I nearly need to use macro and C++ for my work....and expect to pick up in just few hrs!! I even hanged my com while playing and exploring excel!
Then comes Thursday! Even more info overwhelming. Attended a talk at Awareness place organised by Kmspks Temple's youth ministry to talk on a topic " Buddhism perspective of true love." I am still waiting for the notes and once its here I'll share on my other blog! Its a very interesting insight in looking at LOVE using buddhism (mainly the Pali Canon) and exploring what loves entails in other culture as well. The speaker is good.
Today attended a talk on Diamond Sutra by ven. Xing Ding ex abbot of FGS, at Jing Ming Buddhist centre. I will be going or hope to attend all 3 talks and will share in my other blog too!
Today's lesson I would say is basic but core teachings of Buddhism namely 4 noble truth, Cause, condition and effect, as well as the 12 dependent origination.
Journey back home, I was listening to the mp3 of Virocana chant and was imagining from what I heard just now how could I relate or use during next times sharing with a non-buddhist. The talk indeed helped alot......delivered in simple words and analogy yet very rounded (Yuan Man).
