Reflection

Travelling is the evasion of time
Traveling takes you into another space or time. You head for the same destination or no destination at all.

I’m still figuring out who I am, but at least I know where I want to go

ISKCON (Hare Krishna) temple






ISKCON (Hare Krishna) temple, at East of Kailash – Centre for Krishna Consciousness, it has robotic shows and multimedia presentations, apart from the traditional temple complex. Lively atmosphere and excellent tasting sweets - and the delicious Govinda's restaurant is on site.

Bahá'í Lotus Temple





Shaped like a lotus bud with 27 petals, this stunning temple suspended above milky-blue ponds is surely one of the most magnificent monuments ever made from concrete --but there is very little to see inside. The lush park around is well landscaped but mostly off-limits.

While trying hard to take my own picture together with the amazing Bahá'í Lotus Temple, someone come up and offer to take a picture for me instead. His name is Milan from Serbia. He heard I just came back from the Dalai Lama Teaching tour and wonder what's so amazing about Buddha's teaching so I humbly explain the 4 noble truths and he seem extremly interested and ask where he can get more information. I refer him to the Budhhist bible/website www.buddhanet.net hoping that more people can get liberated.

The feeling is inexplicable and I believe every teacher must have a sense of achievement when the student understands. It aspire me that Buddhism without considering as a religious can be a tremendous liberating philosophy for all sentient beings.
