Friends’ discussion continues: Examine Claim Friend: U Ayethaka claims that Azusa Temple land is the most noble or hallowed land in North America.  How come he can claim a “holier than thou” status over other Temples? Is it valid? Does it sound logical or weird? Friend: Yes, let’s examine his “nobility” claim. Buddha taught us to analyze […]

Tone Tone’s friends’ discussion: “Most” Hallowed Friend: I like to discuss U Ayethaka’s bold claim.

Friends continue the discussion. Skipped Friend: BTW, I heard the monk skipped the public hearing. Heard he went sightseeing to New York. Friend: You heard right! So irresponsible for a lead monk.

Friends continue the discussion. Unique Friend: Yes, I heard the model was so beautiful. It’s a smaller version of Singapore Burmese Temple, a unique Burmese cultural piece by a talented architect. Friend: That’s also part of the reason. You have to look at it, from the neighbors’ angle. Not from your own angle. The neighbors didn’t […]

Friends’ discuss message to Nibban Stall keepers, helpers, and Attendees. Expansion Friend: My question: Are you in favor of supporting more and more unnecessary expansion? Think carefully. Temple attendance level permitted: 130  (for two properties) Dhamma Hall occupancy allowed: Say 200. Friend: That means Hall accommodation is already more than the permitted 130. Friend: Not […]
