Testing with my new xpress music

What's up for dinner tonight?

Actually I am not a great cook.

 

I can't cook until I have to look after myself, I have to cook. Then I got married and I have to cook for my family. Even now, my mum eat what I cook, not because my cooking is good, but because she don't bother to cook anymore, haha..

 

Let me show case my cooking for tonight.

 

We had cauliflower tomato with mushroom, meat and shaved meatball porridge for the kids.

 

For us, we had stir fried curry cauliflower. I cooked the cauliflower in salt water to give it a salty shot, haha, also good for killing dirts bah.

 

Next dish, I cook stir fried prawns with tomatoes in chilli and tomato sauces. The gravy is made from the water I boiled the tomatoes. I starts to love tomatoes coz they are really tasty, and I like tomato soup with dong-fen. I should have taken pix of my yesterday's cooking, I cook a big pot of that!

 

Lastly, stir fried shaved potato with meat and mushroom. It should turn out soupy, but today I purposely add a little bit of water only since we already have the gravy from the prawn dish.

 

 

Message from Lama Zopa Rinpoche

This is really terrible... Please let us chant and pray in our own faith to save the 500,000 animals, please everyone, TQ..

 

I also know in Nepal, some Hindu are offering live chicken and lamb to what they adore as "Goddess who love red", but why must the live of living stocks like chicken and lamb be sacrified by one slash, cutting down their heads, soaking the whole floor with bloody red? Red Paint can equally do a great job.

 

It's IGNORANCE.

Message from Lama Zopa Rinpoche:

 

Dear Center Directors, students and friends,

You might have heard the Nepal news about the 500,000 animals that are going to be sacrificed over two days on 24th November (Ghaddimai animal sacrifice festival, happens every five years in the terrai).

The Buddha boy wrote to the organizers asking them not to do it but his request was rejected. It is a big Hindu festival and now the Buddha boy is thinking to go there and try to stop it. I think unless one has special powers to show, people will not listen. It is a big religion with not 100 or 1000 followers but millions. Now it seems to have become a problem in Nepal like the problem with shoes and the Hindus in Pashupati. Now probably no matter what the reality is they will think it is the Buddhists who are making problems.

 

My observation shows that the Buddha boy won't be able to stop it. Possibly some animal rights organisations might be able to help, but it's not sure. If western organisations and people like Nobel Peace (laureates) ask, maybe could help, but it would need many.

 

It came out good to read the Golden Light Sutra 100 times so i have asked Kopan gompa to send some monks to read it at the stupa and make strong prayers for the sacrifice not to happen, to dedicate like that and of course dedicate for world peace. You can find the Sutra in various languages here: http://www.fpmt.org/teacherszopa/advice/goldenlight.asp

 

I would like to request the centers and students to read the Golden Light Sutra and recite the Padmasambhava prayer for removing obstacles and for quick success, for the sacrifice not to happen. This needs to be done quickly as the sacrifice is happening on 24th November. You can find the Padmasambhava prayer here: http://www.fpmt.org/teachers/zopa/advice/pdf/Padmasambava%20prayer%20to%20clear%20obstacles%20feb05km.pdf

 

Please recite any number of the Golden Light Sutra and the Padmasambhava prayer for removing obstacles and for quick success.

 

With much love and prayers,
 Lama Zopa
