Visit to Cemetery @ sime road!

we set of at almost 8PM from out temple~aft reaching u will noe wad is call DARK!

but earlier we got an advance party go there prepare some "kim zhua" but there r slow =x Lol

and we when deep into the cemetery~ its read dark in there~ we have to offer them candle and joss stick for every tomb stone we see muz have 1 set!

the feeling there is like.. how do i say the way~ its like it will remind u of "some day we ourselve will die also~

AND THERE IS LOADS OF INSECT!! u name it there all have -_-' ' '

nv being this close to loads of tomb stone b4~ i only can say i did wad i can~ i dare to say i when down a slope tat even we have alot of ppl no body dare to go down de DARK DARK slope~ in my team there is me my sis and guan yi(pretty jie jie)=x

we when down the slope and keep on saying "sorry to disturb we r here to offer u things" and we when down all the way~ which there is lots of fallen tombstone! cant even see if u r walking~ as we get deeper and deeper~ we only can see with the candle light we use to offer~ but still there is lots of tomb in those WULU WULU de corner just keep going down down down and down~ till 9.40 we start to head back to where we started~ cos we gonna start a ritual to offer those beings some food(will come back to this)

as we walk back we can see no 1 in the way all go back liao~ its like only 3 of us walking nia~ honestly its scary! we can only see with the light on our hand and those on the road side which we offer to them.

but we manage to get back~

Lama and the anilaS and some auntie uncle was on a lorry~ going around the whole cemetery to chant and gather all those being back to where we gather.

Lama told us they r all around us~ the whole place full of them~ and ask us not to say gossip.. cos those being also Human in the past and they also like to listen to gossip.. if u tok gossip if they follow u home~ u HO SEH liao~

9.50 we reach the gathering place and sit down~ fold paper incease(KIM ZHUA)

and aft tat we have to make "toh mo" (dont noe how to spell) its a food offering to those beings~ Lama told us to make it small like green bean like tat small while we rolling it on our finger we have to chant. to make those offering for them to eat~

Lama say those being r very Ke lian

they r unlike wad we think. some with very thin leg and hand
some with LONG neck which thier neck have a few knot on them.
most important is they have small mouth

and normal food we offer to them they cant eat either the food turn into flame burn thier mouth or turn into shit(this is wad lama say)

tats y we roll the "toh ma' into small small

and tat lama ask us to collect all the toh ma and start to offer. Lama ask us to repeat wad he said and we start our chanting~ and pour milk and water into the toh ma bowl..

aft we offered.. Lama teach us 1 easy dharma pratise call "sky gazing". he say its guru rinpoche use to teach de. if i m not wrong the meaning i can hardly hear it~

we gaze gaze gaze gaze gaze chant chant chant chant chant~~

den its time to burn all those paper incease~ lama started the fire~ small fired~ and he wave 1 bamboo shoot think very long~ with a banner thing alike thing on it.

den he put it into the small fire! with out the banner thing even touch the fire within like less den 2 sec the banner thing give out smoke!!! wah!!! see liao i was thinking~ eh haven caught fire y got smoke? abit shock =x and lama ask them to spread the fire~ aft tat we burn burn burn~~ throw some gold and sliver coin in~ and shout HUAT AR!! ~~

aft tat some time lama approch me~ he ask me just now got see the banner like flag thing once he put in got smoke come out rite~ i say ya saw it.. he told me~ ya those beings rushing over to take thier money!

scary hor? LoL its a nice experiance for us to visit cemetery to remind us~ some day we will also die~ if we dont have enuff dharma pratise we maybe will end up like those being..

===========================================

its about 11+ we finish and Lama suggest go ADAM ROAD to have our dinner/supper when there eat with alot of kor kor jie jie uncle auntie~~ den its about 1am we leave tat place~

aft the visit i told myself. i m lucky to meet a great Guru. feel so lucky! he is just like my spritual father. teach me things i dont noe lead me to a better way to live~ teach me how to b a more happier person~

wad i understand for being happy. its all comes within ur heart~ its how u think~ accepting and adapting its all u need.

abit hard rite? =x Lol i also trying to learn~ but some times its really goes with the flow~ or can say happy go lucky~ =x haha tats my theory~ =x haha
