Dinner with a White Sangha 21 Oct 2012

Tonight we have a quite a wonderful dinner together with Aunt Jasmine’s family with our new friend – David. David is a Buddhist. He is from America.

David currently stayed at Joyfully Together Mindfulness Practice Centre in Kota Kemuning, whereby is the meditation centre in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh and Plum Village.

This is the centre which both Ed Mun and Jasmine goes every Sunday and practice their meditation there.

David got to know this centre at Cambodia where he have helped a children home called Cambodian Children’s House of Peace. It is a local Non-Governmental Organisation which provides food, clothing, education, health care, recreation, arts, moral development and all the other things children need to grow and develop into proper citizens.

He is a very good artist and story teller. He have published a picture book and the earnings which he sells from this book will go to the children home.

This evening, Ed Mun and Jasmine wanted to bring him around and we went to the Brickfields. And, introduce to David to try some Indian food - Banana Leaf rice and eating using hand.

This is quite an experience for him. After which, we walked along the streets around and Brickfields and window shopping along the traditional Indian shops and seeing their culture.

It was a nice and great dinner. Both Issac and Annabelle are happy seeing this old grand papa and enjoyed his company.
