Hello Ajahn Brahm!

Hello Ajahn Brahm! It was amazing to see you again. 

I never thought that i will see you again since the last time i met you in Batam (1 April 2015, Pacific Palace Hotel, Batam, Indonesia - Dhamma Talk "Hello Happiness") for the first time. It was an unexpected golden opportunity that i could met you again in Bali yesterday.  Previously i never knew that you would have tour d'Indonesia in 2016 till the first time i joined Sunday service in Puja Mandala last week. They informed me that will have Ajahn Brahm Dhamma Talk on 14 April 2016. At that time, i felt so excited that i could meet you again but there was two problem that i faced:

1) The event held in Denpasar, it is too far away from my current place. 

2) I supposed to work from 11 to 8 on that day. 

Fortunately i have good Karma. I told my colleague the event during lunch and unexpected that she is interest to join so we went together. Next, work schedule; fortunately i have good seniors, Bro Andi and Bro Angga who help me to change the work schedule from 11 - 8 to 7 - 4, so i could attend your Dhamma Talk at 6pm. 

Yeap! It was also a quite long journey to reach Aston Denpasar. It took me one and half hour by motorbike to reach there. But compare to you, my problems are nothing. You declined India prime minister's invitation just to come here from Australia to share and spread your happiness to us. I feel grateful, absolutely worth it!

 

First, thanks to Bu Vessa who help me to get this golden ticket:)

Ajahm Brahm Dhamma Talk

"Happy Everyday"

Date: 14 April 2016

Venue: Aston Hotel & Convention Center, Denpasar, Bali, Indonesia   

 

Well, take a selfie first before the Dhamma Talk start. 

Thanks to Ce Angel who come with me to attend this Dhamma Talk.

 

Finally, I meet you again. 

Well let me share you reader an inspiration story from Ajahn Brahm!

One day if you step in dog poo, don't clean it directly at the grasses or something else first but bring it to home with you. When you arrive home, clean it under your mango tree. One year later, for sure your mangoes will be very sweet. Once you eat the sweet mangoes happily, think what you eat actually. Thanks to the dog, its dog poo bring sweeter mangoes.

 

Hey readers! Let me Kristine Winata ask you a question, one day if you really step in dog poo, will you clean it directly or bring it to home? Nah maybe almost all of you will clean it directly and say it's funny why bring the awful dog poo to home. 

So, what's the point actually? Dog poo bring sweeter mangoes story actually tell us that bad things is not always bad, try to see the positive side and turn bad to good! Well i know it's not easy to do and at all the time most people always see bad things as bad, bad and bad and the at last being desperate just like people won't bring home the dog poo to bring sweeter mangoes. If you really can do it, you are wise people! 

At the end of seminar, there was a signature and photo session with my idol. 

During the que in a hour, i notice that all of the people are very happy to take a photo with you. You sign many many books and give many many many smile to many many many people for us take photo with you. I am sure you are happy because we are very very very very very happy before, during and after take a photo with you. Thank you Ajahn Brahm for share your happiness to us.

I'm happy even just talk to you in few seconds: 
Me: "Thank you, Ajahn. Can we take a selfie?"
Ajahn Brahm: "sure" 
(I take out my phone with photo stick)
Ajahn Brahm: "ah, photo stick"
Me: "I have good Karma. Thank you, Ajahn."  

Well, this is what i bring to home. Two books of Ajahn Brahm, "Si Cacing dan Kotoran Kesayangannya 2 & 3", Thank you for sign in our books, Ajahn Brahm. 
Anyway, The puru-puru drinks is very nice!

Last but not least, Thanks to all sponsor who make this happen. Thank you with much appreciate!

Thank you. See you again when i see you, Ajahn Brahm:)
