WOW, tonight's Dharma talk was indeed excellent. I always feel very revitalized after attending Ven Kaizhao's talk, esp having to see so many familiar faces. NUSBS/NTUBS alone, i think there shld be around 20-30 ppl:

yeling, chinkoon, fengying, pearlyn, kenny, kici, kinsong, birdtan, huiying, teddy, khian nam, waitoo, cindy, david, keepang, yuhan, zhiyong, vincent, gekhong, fenny, katrine, aikhong, kairene, albert, chungfee, zeathereal, boyao, chinlee, yuandeng & gf etc

Something special tonight for me was that my mum actually requested me to bring her along to the Dharma talk. The first few things that came to my mind were: Place gonna be cramp and squeezy + need to kneel down + sit for at least 2 hrs + chantings that are aliens to her - Can she tahan?

After a short hesitation, i decided to go ahead and bring her along. Sometimes, its not worth the effort to worry so much. Instead of deciding for them, I feel we shld let them decide for themselves. I try not to have any expectation whether my mum is going to understand or accept wat Ven said. But I know she did enjoy the talk a lot, as she laughed heartily at the jokes made by Ven along with the crowds. Besides me, Pearl and Katrine also brought their mums along.

I actually have something else to add on to this entry, but that is gonna make the entry unwholesome. I shall keep tat thought to myself.
