8 Temples

We have then just stepped down from the 23rd MC and were visiting all the patrons to thank them for their support. It was during the discussion at Ms Angie's house when I realised what many of us seriously lacked in. No doubt most of us have spent quite a bit of effort in helping to propagate the Dharma to the campus community, but I guess very few have actually tried to bring their parents to the Dharma.

*** They are not interested *** They refused to listen to me *** It is impossible lor *** They are too superstitious *** We have given ourselves aplenty of reasons or excuses.

Today, I decided to sacrifice a day's leave to conduct a mini temple tour for my mum. She was very chirpy all the way until we met a shifu, whom I thought we could share our family problems with. Unfortunately, she was rather strict and harsh in her approach. Shifu meant well but my mum may not be ready for it. Nvtheless, she told me she felt good abt the tour.

1) Golden Pagoda Temple
2) Sakya Tenphel Ling
3) Wan Fo Lin
4) Palelai Buddhist Temple
5) Fo Guang Yuan
6) Shuang Lin Monastery
7) Phor Kark See Monastery
8) Poh Ern Sih

It seems that ONE FULL DAY is insufficient to cover that many temples... but I tried my best already.
