Ajahn Chah remembrance Day

Ajahn Remembrance Day
Din expect much when first visit to this event.
Reached there early in the morning 6 sth, started the day off with ushering.
I always love ushering..
Putting up the greatest smiles to others, greeting a very good morning to all the guest present, and in return, you will get lots of smiles and greetings as well.

The morning started of with Dhamma talks and it ends off with more Dhamma talks.
Is a day we attained not only knowledges but also more merits for us and for our family.

There's a lot of dhamma I learned, but not all that i can digest and understand.
There is one ajahn, mentioned something about ajahn chah.
He said ajahn chaH always do things based on examples, in the morning, sometimes, sangha on duty dun even have chance to ring the bells, because ajahn chan will rang it before anyone woke up; you thought u will be the first one in the shine hall, ajahn chah will always be there, no matter how early you were;

Ajahn chah always set himself as an example.
And this is what a leader should have. Fierce when u need to, be good to everyone, be a teacher to everyone, sharing out merits and love without asking anything in return.

Mind controls our body. We have our own choice to choose whether we wan to be happy or not. Why do we have to suffer with all those negative feelings?
Yes , it did inspire me.
However, inspire not enough to make me able to apply it in my daily life.

I still will get disturb by negative feelings.
The time to get rid of all these...will be a time to infinity.
