Friday, January 25, 2008 ~*~*~ In Rememberance ~*~*~ Today, received news that Tham Pong has passed away. Have known him since i was in primary school.. Always on the plump side- if there was a living version of the fat laughing buddha- well, it's him =) Think he enjoys his food too- lolz, fits my philosophy. He's always smiling. Radient in a quiet sorta way, and yet outgoing and talking to people. My memories of him are of him asking me about handphones when i got my first hp in secondary school when we were entertaining the temple's cats... of him trying to communicate with us (cos we don't understand thai and english's foreign to him..) and of him every Vesek and CNY stationed near the Goddess of Mercy to give blessings to devotees. I'm not sure if he's realli high ranked or wad.. but wad's important was that he seemed to always enjoy his job. Big splashes of water (blessings) would come our way with a big smile on his face. Sincere, full hearted giving. It doesn't matter if the water ain't realli gona bring luck or wad.. it's giving of good, hoping for good.. Brings a sense of comfort.. cos it doesn't matter if i've been sh*t thruout the year, every year the blessings come regardless and i'll be sure to go home wet from Tham Pong's and Chau Koon's well wishes. He's one of the 2 monks that i look forward to see every time i set foot in the Thai temple.(it's the temple which Nicolas Tse's parents frequent~ i saw the guy there once =p) Monks and female devotees are supposed to keep distance- so it's not as if we were close so tt's not why i'm writing this. But it's at that place where i find peace amongst chaos. Not only is the place tranquil and quiet- it's the huge amount of respect that wisdom is present here that makes me feel somewhat comforted in destiny and faith. Now that he has left, the place just seems a tad emptier... But in Budhism, we believe death brings us to a better place or gives another chance of rebirth... so there's no cause of sadness, other than the little that resides within me cos he's with us no more. But I can't help thinkin tt he's in the heavens, and there's bound to be nice great showers of blessings comming from above =) maybe some coming on tonight~ since there are nice cool breezy winds. Thank you for this part of life. Thank you for lil' bits of wisdom. Thank you for giving. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ And for some reason, i miz my ah gong.. (who has also passed on quite afew years ago) Must treasure those still around more. Which is why i have this blog =) |
