Buddhism corrupted…

My parents organized an all-night pirith chanting and alms-giving last weekend. And we were all distressed to find out the state of Buddhism in our home town. Only 2~3 Bhikku’s (Buddhist monk) could pronounce the Paali words correctly and some didn’t bother even to try. Following morning we found some cigarette buds in monk’s resting room. They hadn’t even bothered to hide it. (Buddhist monks (even lay men) are to retain from using alcohol, tobacco, drugs etc.)
But during the alms giving, they didn’t hesitate to order us to provide them with food of their wish. It wasn’t an alms giving at all but a feast. (Lord Buddha once has said; eat as if you were eating your own child’s meat - died while traveling through a desert- , in order for you to survive through the rest of the desert – just enough to keep yourself alive)…

Another nice buddhism link

Came accross a nice Buddhism site which contains an extensive collection of text

Recovery

After a frustrating week I’m cooling off. I’m still not @ my 100% performance but doing better than last week :).
I sleep 10~12h per day these days and it doesn’t feel like enough. And I wonder, why does cats make so much noise… can’t they do it quietly?

Bad day

If I'm to work at my 100%, my mind should be free of worries such as career progression, salary, team’s commitment towards the project etc. These are beyond my control but greatly affect my performance. If not for my great fascination for coding I would have already given up IT.

Wondeful buddhism site

I was searching the web for the Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta to extract a part of it and came accross this nice online booklet which explains it well
