Today... I woke up really early....For a day off work, that not normal for me, but it was forced because i had a teaching of buddism at a temple to go to this morning...
I got there around 9ish am... and it was a whole day thing actually..longer than the hours i work per day!!
Where do i even begin!!?!
The master taught us about many aspects of the faith... Zen and Tao and the Truth were words used alot today...
We started by meditating.. then teaching us the basics of Buddism and the origin of it... The reasons why candles and offerin fruits and burning incense is an integral part of the religion...
It not really a religion but a way of life to be exact... Buddists are peaceful people, they believe in loving the world the way God created it, not killing anything and being filled with light and wisdom to make the world a better place... Its the positive energies within them that they believe can create peace and love that this world has forgotten and so badly needs to be remember again...
I was sorta baptisted into the Buddism today actually... Totally unaware that was going to happen when i said i wanted to come and learn!! It's called 'Recieving Tao' where you pray to the Matreya buddha, look at the lit candle above him as the master monk blesses you and opens your third eye.. i repeated a mandarin statement that i had no idea what i was saying but i suppose its probably stating i will not do bad things and do and be only good and kind... I still have some books to read that they gave me on my new buddist goodie bag lol!! Oh and the fruit on the shrine that was offered to the Buddhas and prayed on, they gave them out at the end.. The master monk gave me an apple for Peace and an organe for health.. Whchi still need to eat to ain my super powers :D
Oh and this is my lil certificate of when and where i got baptised.. see you are not allowed to know about the 3 treasures of recieving Tao if you are not baptised... Because it would not work..Thats what i learnt anyways... but yea guys... I'm pretty glad i did go to this...I learnt alot and i like that Buddists believe in Christ aswell... They are not conflicting people... They just teach a very healthy and peaceful way of life to the world...
OH YEAHH!! I forgot to say...because i have recieved Tao (baptised) they say i am officially struck off from going Hell in the afterlife so they only way is up to heaven :D how nice is that to know huh?? either way...i aim only to do very good things for God..for this world..and for the people i love...I hope i can become a better and more kinder and wiser people from now on... :)
