Outing to Alokarama take me lots of courage. I can’t find anyone to accompany as lots of them are going back home this weekend. No matter how, I landed at Alokarama land on 11 Jan thanks to K2. Things just become much better when i met Sis Ju Vian, Sis Valerie, Bro Chen How, and Bro Purna. Somehow, i’m glad to meet them there. They are really kind, friendly and nice person.
The environment at Alokarama is really amazing. The place is so peaceful and wonderful. The air is so fresh and I feel so close to the green environment. One word able to describe it, dat is "wow". I met Sister Sumangala on the day it is and something amazing happen. I realize the smile and peacefulness on her face. She teach me a lot and I believe her teaching will always stay in my heart now and forever. The next morning, I met Bhante and his talk inspire me a lot. I still remember that Bhante did ask who wish to become monk and nun; at that moment something flash over to my mind and… haha… gotcha!!!
On the last day, something more funny happen. There’s few group of people there and there’s one group call green thumb. After our morning talk, i just dissapear from the dining hall and stay with the green thumb groups. There’s one uncle there and I began to ask lots of questions esp on herbs and sickness. When he began to look on my palm, that how all began and I feel omg… is just like "suan ming" and… ended i take few prescription from him about some sickness. He just keep repeating "I did tell u all abt this" and, I keep on explaining "I’m from youth group not green thumb" and he’ll say "Nvm" and the things cont on and on. haha… This is the first time i saw a stupa and able to step on it’s land. The feeling is so amazing that i can’t able to describe with words. I still miss the place so much. On the day when we wanna leave Alokarama, I really want to walk up to the stupa again but… there are people doing renovation and the sun is burning.
Thanks a lot for Ju Vian, Meng Hong and Chen How for always help me and wait for me as i’m always the most "turtle" one… To someone.. erm… thanks for giving me the opportunity to be there. I really appreciate the kindness and patient u have.
Sadhu .. Sadhu.. Sadhu
