just came back from the dhamma talk by ven ajahn brahm at PKS. i learnt a lot and he definitely did not bore me out for he is a very humorous dhamma teacher. his talk was about kamma and i totally enjoyed it. so happy the carlton buffet date was changed. =)
it felt so familiar just to step once again into the premises of the Phor Kark See Monastry, from the 410 bus stop, past the pond, up the stairs, past the canteen, up to the hall where the talk is held...
here's a nice joke by the venerable, when one asked is a person dying young kamma? he said: people make mistake, god does too:
there's this man, he was dressed sloppily and had no confidence with a bad hair and stuff like that [refers to mr peter tan for dressing and hair], then all the girls whom he fell in love with dumped him after a few dates. so, he went to have a makeover-- a psychologist to build up his confidence, got a new hair cut and got a nice expensive suit and he was so ready to go to to find a few ladies out that night, and he got knocked down by a truck just then. so he went up to ask god: why did you have to take me away when i just got so ready for a new life? and god replied him: oh, sorry, i made a mistake, i could not recognise you.
lol.to be honest, i forgot about the other stories, but i learnt something really valuable: how bad kamma can be turned into good kamma, and i shall attempt so to make my life a whole lot happier.
