As part of His Holiness Sakya Trizin's tour to Malaysia, His Holiness, the present head of the Sakya lineage, will be conducting a two-day Kalachakra Empowerment at OCM Indoor Sports Centre opposite Stadium Negara, Kuala Lumpur from 2 p.m. onwards on the 29th and 30th September, 2007.
From my source of information, these session will be until night. Admission is free.
Kalachakra is considered the most advanced form of Vajrayana practice and it certainly is one of the most complex systems within tantric Buddhism. For more information about what Kalachakra is, you can visit wikipedia or here.
I love books, so I'm going to do this books meme tagged by Princess Shin.
Total number of books owned:
Honestly I have lost count of the books I have. I have books in my hometown and here in Petaling Jaya. And months ago I sold a lot of books on Ebay just to have more space for my library books which I borrowed (many of them) for my project paper.
Last book bought:
I did not buy any books recently. But the last book bought was What Makes You Not A Buddhist written by Dzongsar Jamyang Khyentse. I haven't finish this book even though it has been bought for more than a month already.
The author expresses the essence of Buddhism in four simple points, which he presents to readers as a set of challenges:
1. Can you accept that all things are impermanent and that there is no essential substance or concept that is permanent?
2. Can you accept that all emotions bring pain and suffering and that there is no emotion that is purely pleasurable?
3. Can you accept that all phenomena are illusory and empty?
4. Can you accept that enlightenment is beyond concepts; that it's not a perfect blissful heaven, but instead a release from delusion?
According tot he author, only when you can answer these questions, with an unequivocal "yes",can you truly consider yourself a Buddhist.
Last book read:
Same as the last book bought.
Five books that mean a lot to you:
1. Pointing Towards Vajrayaya by HH Sakya Trizin
2. The Luck Factor by Richard Wiseman
3. Change Your Life in Seven Days by Paul McKenna
4. Awaken The Giant Within by Anthony Robbins
5. Syair Siti Zubaidah (the author of this classic remain anonymous)
1. Within three years, I've changed into a Chelsea fan who hates watching Chelsea play because of their limited tactics and goal-scoring.
2. Mourinho robbed away the classic rivalry between Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger.
3. He has spent too much of Roman Abramovich's money to buy elite players who can't perform last season.
4. He has lost several of his loyal squad man to other clubs. Too many talented players and big egos for him to control.
5. Chelsea still hasn't become the world's number one football brand. Mourinho's outspokenness did not help Chelsea's image.
6. Mourinho is ambitious and staying in the English Premier League (EPL) will only deter him from proving himself as the world's best coach. Leading a top team in Serie A will definitely boost his image.
7. It's time for Mourinho to pack for good. Managers in EPL clubs don't stay long with the exception of Ferguson and Wenger. But at least he leaves Chelsea with respect from his peers and players.
I'm not sure why suddenly I have this urge to come up with a campaign to meet up with my tennis idol, Rafael Nadal when he comes to Malaysia in November.
If you haven't know already, Rafael Nadal, the world no. 2 tennis player along with Roger Federer, Pete Sampras and Richard Gasquet will play in two separate exhibition match on the 20th and 22nd November 2007 in conjunction with the Malaysia Independence Tennis Festival.
So, what's on my mind?
My idea is to meet up with Rafael Nadal, have the best seat during his exhibition match and get to do a full coverage of the match that night.
Or worse comes to worst, to catch Nadal on camera at KLIA or Stadium Melawati, watch from my RM83 seat and still do a (live) coverage on the match between him and Gasquet.
What am I going to do?
Create a buzz in the blogosphere about my campaign, the tennis match and get support. Then contact the organizer with my proposal plus the number of support gained.
Why need to create a buzz?
It's all about promoting tennis, Rafael Nadal and Visit Malaysia Year 2007.
