My BIrthday-10 Feb (A memorable one)

It's a meaningful one for me, hence I record this down in my own blogsite for my future reference and reading.
In the early morning, we went to Kechara Forest Retreat to offer prayers and to light candles and I am very happy to have a chance to do this. And after that, together with sis, bro in law, Natasha and Waye, we drove to Raub just to try to tea and coffee there. It was the first time for me to be in Raub, and surprisingly, I find Raub to be a clean and beautiful town and not only that, we bought some good local Jackfruit (nangka madu). 
Then before we went back to Selayang, we stopped by at the Bigfoot shop to shop for some prayer items, and we go what we wanted. This is a kind of Birthday gift for myself.

The we went home and had our rest before dinner at a local favorite restaurant. But the interesting part was when we all plan to have our a place to have our tea/dessert after dinner and all agreed to dress up.

Trip to Kathmandu-Buddhism Pilgrimage (Dec20181Jan2019)-Day 6 (finale day)

On the finale day, it was mainly spent at Boudhanath Stupa, again for finale shopping and also circumambulation around the stupa.











Actually, we also went to two more monasteries, but no pictures are allowed to be taken, but I was very much touched and impressed by all these arrangements. It was meaningful and gave a lot of insights into the practice of DS and Tibetan Buddhism. 
We were given religious related gifts and also served a very nice meal.
The hotel was a good one, The Road house hotel, but I like the restaurant more as the meals prepared were very good.
And we celebrated new year on the flight itself, safely landed in Malaysia around 5.30am local time.
Thanks.

Trip to Kathmandu-Buddhism Pilgrimage (Dec20181Jan2019)-Day 5

30 Jan 2018. Day 5

After our breakfast, we visited Vijeshwari Vajrayogini Chapel, again, this is a very old chapel and it is under a family management, as I understood. And inside the temple, no photos are allowed to be taken.

This is Vijeshwari Vajrayogini Chapel, and only outside pictures are allowed to be shot.

                                                   Preparing our offering items



After this, we went to different sites offering prayers to Lord Dorje Shugden Buddha. It is the chapels built by Kechare group, the purpose is to help to spread Dharma and bring Lord DS Buddha closer to the public so that every body is blessed.

















 Our dinner on 30th evening, finale dinner for the tour group and it was such a feast, but please take note all are again, vegetarian food but tasty.
