Very grateful to Venerable master Wei Wu too being so compassionate for offering me this opportunity to participate in this retreat. It has been always my desire to join, but due to my ignorance/ laziness and taking “WORKING” as an excuse, kept me postponing the cultivation. It has been almost ten years, since my previous Retreat. While in my journey from KL to Penang my mind kept thinking , age is catching up and this running out, I must make an effort to restart, I vowed to overcome any obstacles that I might encountered during the retreat. I must practise Buddha’s teaching,especially with the guidance by sifu (all masters).

This retreat has lead me to reform my erroneous thoughts,speech and behavior. It has also let me get rid of my karmic obstacles. During the Buddha Name Recitation, my mind was so wild for the first day due to no slipper my migraine attacks me,the monkey is knocking on my brain, I lost direction all things I do. Day 2 was a bit better ,my mind is beginning to concentrate on all the sessions. I must control this monkey if not be able to continue. Day 3,4,5,6,7 was under control, I am very mindful on all things I do. My wondering thought and discrimination and attachments has all let go. Chanting Buddha name is very joyful,marvellous and happy forgot the migraine( the pain ).

Overall , I am happy that we are able to share the same viewpoint observed living and practicing harmoniously,thus expending winner place.

To conclude I wish to express my appreciation to all masters and all volunteers who has helped to make thos retreat so memorable for me and I’ll remember as long as I live.

Three Bows to all masters.
