Harnham Buddhist Monastery

Due to exam season coming, the Buddhist Society of Uni of Edinburgh (which by the way only consists of 20 members, active member? 40%) decided to organise a trip to the Harnham Monastery in northumberland, some place near Newcastle. (biasala, normally dun go temple, wana near exam oni ask Ti Kong po pi)...

So we rent a car and drive there, to show our sincerity...

On the way, see dis non-stop...journey to Shire?

But finally....(with my superb driving skills)
Yes!!, we reached in no time...

First thing to do when you reach is...
Afterdat, eat...(eat the food ppl offer to monks..)

The monks are very practical...Notice the Multipurpose Orange Bowl... (one size that fits all!!). Even if wana put ketchup also dat bowl, rice, soup, wana use as basin 2 wash face also can...wonder if they do dat...Anyway, food was great...

Ok, back to serious stuff...We did some chanting, n the monks gave some talk about their lifestyle. Dun play play...I alwiz think monks stay in gua n eat berries only...these monks go on facebook sumore...n he knows what is www.youtube.com... haha, even my sister don't know!!

Apart from meditation, cleaning, etc, they started buiding their own house few years back. According to the legendary story teller, 2 years back when they visited the temple, they helped the monks to build the house...2 years later, now...it is almost completed!!!
A HOUSE!! Its called KusalaHouse, no joke...real house dat you can stay in...


Some people that try to KS (kill steal) claimed that he built the house..

With this kind of proud posing, see also know wad he wana say..
('I built the house 2 years back lei..")

But..plan spoiled by Mr Junior..

Mr Junior: Ei, fren..fren..we together build 1...
Mr legendary story teller: WTF...where can...wana steal my credit..

The room quite nice 1 ei...can come here for retreat.. (if putus cinta or wad, can come here 2 meditate)

Got place to sit down n drink tea sumore...
( luckily here don have heavy rain n thunder storm..if not...)

This is where I get enlightenment...Finally know why I am so pretty...

Before we invade...

After...(sky also become dark)
Notice there's 1 ang moh that went with us...
Name: Rob..
We call him: ang moh (meaning caucasian)

The next part is meditation...busy sleeping, so dun have time to take pictures.
