Yesterday I went for my dentist appointment, and went back to Buddha Tooth temple for lunch. As I was offering incense, I made the wish to always be able to practise Buddhism in my future lives, whether I am in Pureland, or not in Pureland. And as I was traveling back from my dentist back to my work place, a feeling hit me suddenly, as I was walking down the steps of Bouna Vista mrt.
It felt like I had truely gone home, by saying this vow silently to Buddha and myself. Suddenly the feeling of thousands of repeated vows came flooding back to me. I felt like crying.. I was embraced by the familiar loving kindness of Buddhas and Boddhisattvas. I knew then its not the first time I made such a wish. I have found my true path in life again.
I am finally home.

Abnormality
Recently it has been increasingly obvious.. that I don't belong in normal crowd.. and the things that occupy my mind day and night is hardly on one's dinner conversations. I wish I can talk about nail polish all day long too.. but I just can't.
Now with more awareness, I'm beginning to see that I was made differently all along. I thought others was weird and insisted that they are missing something. Now, then I realize, its me that's the odd one out, not them! They are normal!

My birth day :)
Today I made a card for my parents, inspired by the card I saw during my retreat in end March.
It was made by a small kid apparently, and on it, it writes: "感恩父母养育之恩。"
When I saw that, I was very touched. Even a small kid has done it, yet I have never wrote a card for my parents before to thank them for bringing me up (which is a difficult thing to do, lol. I wasn't the easiest kid).
Thus, I wrote some things for my parents today. :)

What is the TRUTH? Is it the same as what we see?
What we see = what is happening?
or
What we see + perceptions =/ what is happening?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Or is it,
From our point of view (lets see the other way round):
What we think is happening = (What we see + Perceptions)
and
Truth = (What we see + Perceptions) - Perceptions
If we minus the perceptions away, and let there be no perceptions, (+ Perceptions - Perceptions = 0) then what is "what we see" is actually the truth.
Truth = What we see
If "what we see" is the truth, then,
Isn't "what we see" essentially empty ?
From a mathematical psychological point of view. :)
