As a freelance designer, I’ve always believed, probably because of my mother’s assurances, that I can accomplish anything that I want. I can be who I want to be, without any question or doubt.
After getting in touch with the Buddha's Dharma, I've realised nothing is permanent. Since nothing is permanent, why am I attaching myself to the world? Why should I feel sad for what I’ve never had?
This is why I’ve volunteered myself as a Buddhist guide. The gratification I've gained as a guide by bringing Buddhists around temples has been a source of inspiration for me and it’s helped me discover another passion (beside compassion ;)
Not only do the Buddhist sites and temples remind us that Buddha’s teachings continue to exist 2,555 years after his death, they also remind us we’re still going through samsara (cycles of existence) and that becoming a Buddha is never too far from impossible...
