Peace Between Religion

In The Star today, there is a news on a family with different religion that live peacefully under one roof.

The news is about a mother who is Buddhist, live with her son who has converted to Muslim. During the fasting month, tough she does not fast together with the son, she still enjoying the time together with her son and his family during the break fasting (buka puasa).

You can read the complete news here

This shows that actually people with different religion actually can live peacefully together. Although different religion have different teaching, but I think all religions teach their followers to embrace peace and love.

Just like Tzu Chi , we have volunteers that come from different background, ethnic and religion and yet we have the same mission, that is to help those people who are in need.

That's my thought for today.. Peace!... *smile*...

Photo@Riam Temple

Went to the Riam Temple last Sunday to pay respect to my deceased maternal grandfather. While at the temple, I took some random shot with my digital camera around it.

For those who ever read the story on "Journey To The West", I am sure you will know those four main characters in the story. Yup, the two in the first photo is Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie, and the two figure on the second photo is the Buddhist monk, Xuanzang and Monkey King, Sun Wukong.

This is the figure of Ksitigarbha. He is known for his vow not to achieve Buddhahood until the hells are emptied. He is regarded as the bodhisattva of hell beings.

And this above is the figure of  Tu Di Gong. Tu Di Gong is famous deity that is worshipped by many Chinese folk religion worshippers and Taoist.

916

Today is 916. The number has seem to become so famous after the 308 election.

What is going to happen today? Will Anwar's plan to change the political sky of Malaysia succeed?

Not to forget today is also the day Sarawak and Sabah join Malaya and formed Malaysia 45 years ago.

Happy Malaysia Day!

And for me, this is just another normal working day..... :)

Traffic jam everywhere

The traffic jam condition in Miri start to get worse when the fasting month start especially after 5pm during working day.

If you are driving from town to Pujut area, first you will get a little bit jam in front of the mosque (at the town area). Next, you will get stuck from the flyover to the roundabout near GK supermaket, and you will find the double-lane road below the flyover had became a single-lane road because all those people that went to visit the fasting month stalls at Saberkas had parked their cars along the roadside.

Worse still, when you almost reach your house, you cannot turn inside because there is long queue of cars in front of you that block your way... :(  and that's what happen to me yesterday.........
