Its Vesak Day. But its kinda embarrassing that as a buddhist, my understanding of my faith isn't as deep as that of the older generations. BUT i do know more than fellow buddhist peers, cos of my personal desire to explore it myself. And i feel that i'm more spiritually-attached to the religion than most other fellow young buddhists. BUT that isn't enough. And it seems a bit worrying, that the younger lot aren't paying much attention to the teachings of this precious philosophy, dated back thousands of years ago. Perhaps things may change when people gets older. You experience more things, fail at more attempts, and get exposed to challenges and setbacks. There comes a point where life is at a turning point. Difficult decisions await your forceful judgement. Life may hence not seem as ideal and as worthy as it is anymore. Thats when people seek solace, peace and direction in religion. More often than not, it happens at mid-age of life, and people start to delve deep into the spiritual realm and become firm followers of their chosen faith. Perhaps thats why whenever i visit a temple, i hardly see people of my age. Mostly are either senior citizens or middle-aged adults. Thats the case today at Suntec Fountain of Wealth, where Vesak Celebrations were held. I guess the younger people are busy shopping away at the mall... But anyway, I wrote some wishes on the wishing card, and went on to "bathe the buddha", glad that at least i did something this vesak. Still, i think its better for me to improve my knowledge on my faith. Only that will it make sense, and that I would be able to show more interest towards it, when i'm armed with deeper awareness and understanding.
人生是黑白的.
