Return of baby.

I went to Buddhist Maha Vihara to pray. Jun has good rapport with Chief Reverend Bhante Dhammaratana As supporter of his contribution to help marginalised orphans and poor elderly Malaysians,I used to take Jun regularly to visit the Tiratana welfare home n orphanage in Seri Petaling to donate food and educational supplies. After attending a meditation retreat at Buddhist Maha Vihara,he became friends with Chief Reverend who used to patrol the grounds with his huge Tibetan mastiffs and caught Jun sneaking out for midnite supper at indian banana leaf restaurant a few . times.He respects bhantes wisdom and kind pragmatism. yesterday on fathers days,he did a transfer of merit for his late father and was blessed by chief reverends presence.Bhante doesnt have the airs of exalted staus as hes humble and approachable.he still remembered the greedy devotee who was always hungry.He chatted with chief reverend for two hours and it really gave him peace of mind.of course bhante advised him to drive safely after he told him how his car overturned on a wet road and he emerged unscathed without a scratch.no amulet or chants can protect a reckless driver.really sound advice. Chief Revetend got back his cute Baby and its as kawaii amd pampered as ever having a nap Jun volunteered to work pro bono on Viharas social media accounts as he feels the good work of the vihara should be known to young people.it has given him the moral compass and peace of mind in his wild,carefree younger days.i advised him to use music,dance and drama to reach out as its the universal language.
