The Concept of Mahamudra

What is the Mahamudra? Well it is a state of achievement in Buddhism where one is very close to attainment of Buddha-hood. Here I came across Lama Ole Nydahl giving this excellent explanation of the concept and meaning of Mahamudra. Lama Ole Nydahl is from the Karma Kagyu School of Tibetan Buddhism. Please spend 21min of your time watching this video. It may just change your life.

Craig's List

Was a bit bored today so I decided to browse around in Craig's List (Craig's List is sort of the classified adds of the internet). It is something I've not done for sometime now. You see on Craig's List you can find all sorts of interesting stuff going on. They have a site on close to every major city and country in this planet!

Ha! So being Malaysian I decided to go to the Malaysian page to see what is going on there. the first thing that caught my eyes is there is a classified add section for people (woman seeking woman, woman seeking men, etc.). Now I was damm curious to see what type of Malaysian would be seeking a man. Yes, always curious about what is available, that is me. So here is the link of what I found.

I have to say, not much of a choice huh(looking at the photos)(I do not mean any insult to the fairer sex and yes I know we are all not born equal)? This cannot be what Malaysia has to offer told myself. So I proceeded to click on another post. This one reads, "Its a must Read!-25(KL/PJ)".

To quote part of it
"What i seek in a relationship is simple. I want a guy I can see on a weekly basis, once a week is all i need. Call me once a day before i retire to bed between 9-12. I want a man no more older then 39, without any kids but is willing to have some with me say the relationship progresses further. I want a man who has no hang ups about marriage and can be trusted. I am going right out to say this. I am looking to get into a serious relationship get married and have a kid, because that's what i need next in my life. Race does not matter, religion does, so you must be willing to convert to follow my value"

Reading the post, I cannot imagine any guy fitting those requirements (there are but I don't think the available ones will be looking through here, he would have lots of options)!

Maybe that is Malaysia, the boleh land. What about Singapore, huh? Let us go check it out, here. Again the same category just to be fair, and you can see the big difference here. Now this girl is ok looking and well I will have to say quite pretty(that is if she's the one I think from the pictures). Now again down south better boleh land (if this was a contest).

Now I know you guys always think very highly of japanese girls right? Well let us see what Craig had to offer. Link for Tokyo, Japan here. Not really expecting much here cause you know how bad the english of the Japanese people are. Here is one ok looking Japanese girl. I can't seem to tell if she has a good body or not but she has a nice smile. But then look here, a cun looking white girl who only dates asian man! Bet she is only after rich Jap guy. Read what she wrote

"I am a 25 yr old white female that wants to find an asian husband. I know that may seem fast but i love adventure and i believe you only have one life to live so do it without regrets."

Now don't you think she is pretty? Wish I was a Japanese now.

Ok I know Craig's List is not only for the posting of personal ads. Craig's List is a place where you can trade just about anything! People trade and sell products to services there. So the next time you want to throw that junk away. You may try selling/trade on Craig's List.

Reasons To Start a Blog

There are so many reasons why people start a Blog but what should be the most fundamental reason to start one? There are so many motivations for starting one. A lot of you will most likely start one in order to try to earn some cash. But I will have to say that if there is no motivation besides making money then you will very likely find maintaining a Blog very tedious and boring. In fact after 3-6months or so, you will lose interest.


Look I'm no expert like Yaro Starak or some blogging pro but I'm telling you from the standpoint of a normal rational person. If you do a blog search and just browse around randomly, you will find that those Blogs that fill up their space with ads and after a very motivated start, seems to lose steam after the initial stage because their Blogs are not getting the desired no of visitors. In the blogging industry, low unique visitors=low income. So then these bloggers will start visiting and joining sites like Blog Mastermind.

I'm very sure that all the tips and pointers that you get from these Gurus can and will improve the traffic to your Blog. But what about content? You see, if you started a Blog, without the correct motivation, you will lose steam and start copying articles from other Blogs because the passion for it just was not there. I did this too, why? Well, because when you lose interest and motivation to Blog, it just isn't a very interesting (even if its just a few minutes everyday posting a short article).

Now, Blogs maintained by people who started with good motivation will never run into such problems. These people may or may not be in the business of blogging (Blogging for money)but you can see that their content is so much better.

You can tell the passion and interest of the owner just by visiting those Blogs and reading/looking at its contents. Look at the Blogs below for an example.

1. regressless- This Blog I like because you will see that the writers is using their Blog as a way to express their opinions. The articles are both interesting and well research. I give them an a for effort and well I just like it. Blogs should be a way to express our emotions and views. This is important because media is getting more and more restricted. I especially like the post called "Jesus was a Budhist Jew, Paul Founded Christianity".

2. edaeliftibet- A picture is worth a thousand words. So a Blog with pictures is worth even more. The author of this Blog is a great photographer. In this Blog you will see some very interesting and fascinating pictures of India. India is a photographers paradise with its many celebrations, great scenery, interesting places both historical and modern, and people. From the pictures, you can see that the author is not a novice photographer. Can you see the passion in this Blog?

3. tokaido- This very interestingly neat Blog is by Kurt Bell (aka softypapa). Kurt's purpose for maintaining this Blog is so that it will become an archive for his online eBay store. If you scroll through his Blog, you will find some very interesting items along with its english definitions/explanations. For most of us who don't speak or read Japaneses, this is a very informative Blog. I will bet you that this blogger will never run out of topics to write on. Great use a Blog don't you think?

The three samples above are fine examples that show not only different motivations for starting a Blog but they are fine examples of Blogs with passion and serves a real function. You see, these bloggers are blogging with real passion.

In this post alone are links to different Blogs that are all very interesting. Just click on the word "Blog" in this page and you will be taken to many different types of Blogs. I did not want to do a list describing all of them. This way at least there is some sense of adventure. So click on some of them and see if you like them.

Good Catch Or What?

I was reading some of my rss feed today and come upon this story. It seems that a group of Russians caught some prehistoric fish in their work site.

Prehistoric fish!! What is going wrong in this planet of ours? I somehow don't believe that it was undiscovered cause this location was inland and not in the open sea. How the fuck did this thing survive for so long? Maybe it was a colony of them. But in school we were taught that evolution would have made them evolved by now, no?

Well for anyone of you who is as curious as me, I've included some photos here also. Can any one tell me the species of this prehistoric fish? Those of you who may want to read the original story proceed to http://englishrussia.com/?p=1633



The fish seems dead initially but in the last picture you clearly see movement.

Now all I have to do is to wait for them to find T-Rex. I would love to have one as a pet(had this dream since childhood).

Nothing Interesting In Sandland

Sandland is becoming boring cause not much happening. I found this interesting so I took a photo with my phone and decided to post it.



Look closely to the video screen. You may want to enlarge the picture. Guys from the Asian region will recognise as a "Beh Kee" machine aka horse racing machine similar to the one in Genting etc.

Who would have though you will find one in Sandland.

Mother Fucking Waste of Time

Well to all those who has been following my blog, you might notice that it has been awhile since my last post. Well a few things has been keeping busy. Allow me to fill you in.

1. I have been busy touching up some photos so this one guy who wants to do an exhibition in a museum. At first I agreed cause I thought it was like 10-20 photos only. Well guess what! I was wrong. Total was 187 photos. It was more but a few of them was like unusable. Now, if it was photos of things I'm interested in then it may be not so boring, unfortunately.... it was for stone age tools and stuff like that. Well it was boring as hell. Further more my date line was suddenly shorten. Talk about stress. People don't seem to understand that artistic work cannot be rush! Well I have to say that on the last few pictures I took a few short-cuts. Hope fully they will not notice it.

The items are of Arabic heritage, and mostly dates back to pre-Islam era. One of the items that I found interesting was a stone object that was call the Idol. This was the object of worship from the time before Islam. I can never imagine how it looks like till now. Below I've included the Idol and a few other pictures that I found interesting.


The Idol

Nice Animal Skull

Stone Balls That Was Used Against Invading Armies (WMD?)

Arrow Head

More Arrow Head

Cave Man Weapon

2. Now I did mention earlier that I bought the game 300 for my PSP right. Well either I'm lousy at it or it is a fuck up game. I am stuck! Well I give it another 3 tries and then I will look for somebody to take it off my hand. Anyone wants a pre-owned 300?

PS: to t0pk0p.... lately you have great post.

Places I Want to Visit In This Lifetime Part 1



This planet that we call home has many wonderful and beautiful places, too numerous to list them all. So if you had the chance to visit just a few where would you want to go For me as a Buddhist I would say that these would have to be the top of my list.

1. Bodh Gaya- The place where Buddha Shakyamuni attained enlightenment. It is also known as the Vijra Seat and the spiritual center of the world. The main temple is well over 2500 years old. Seeing this place would be of great significance to anybody. Imagine the history that this place would contain.


location of Bodh Gaya from Google Earth

2. Lumbini Park- This is the park where Siddhartha Gautama was born. It is situated in Nepal. This is where our Buddha was born.


the pool where Siddhartha Gautama's mother wash him after giving birth to him

3. Swayambhunath Stupa located in Kathmandu Nepal. This Stupa is one of the most holiest sites in Nepal and for Buddhist as far back as the 5th century. For some reason I can't stop thinking of this place after since seeing a picture of it.

4. Rumtek Monastery- Located in Sikkim,India. This is important for me because I follow the Kagyu lineage of Tibetan Buddhism and Rumtek is the current seat for the Kagyu order and also the Black Hat Lama. Ah the thought of just meditating there and chanting some mantras in Rumtek is just enchanting.

5. Benares or Modern Vanarasi- Lord Buddha in his lifetime visited this holy city which lies along the river Ganges many times. Till today this city is still a great city surviving since before the times of Lord Buddha.


life along this holy river and city revolves around many religious ceremonies

300 The Game And More+

Just bought this. It will be a long weekend and I was inspired by the movie. I will play it through this weekend and tell you more about it. By the way did you watch the movie? The story is kinda of ok but the action and graphics was fantastic. It was like watching The Matrix all over again, but don't let me bore you.

Oh before I forget, did I mention that my good buddy t0pk0p went on a romantic holiday with his long time partner to Krabi Thailand. Well the pictures he brought back was stunning to say the least. Here are a few photos taken from his blog but before that do you know where is Krabi?


Map of Thailand. Look at where Phuket is?


This is a better map to see Krabi

So what is there to do in Krabi? Go to t0pk0p's blog to see for yourself what he did. The photos below are taken from his blog.

Photographs From a Friends Collection

A friend of mine who goes by the nick of Vodka, just told me of his new hobby, photography. Well this all started from last year when he bought his Nikon digital SLR. Then he setup his workspace with a MAC for photo editing. Some of the projects that he has been working on are pictures of his amature models (or are they his girlfriends, I wonder), his yearly travels and some sporting events.


Above: Vodka's workspace


Above:from left Crystal and the AFOS07


Above: from left Cherry and Jaclyn

Above: from left Pauline and Vilisa


Above: from left Nailya and a Samsung pageant contestant.

Hell, I do think this hobby is quite a good way to get laid don't you. Imagine, walking down the street and see this cun chick. Get business card ready and present yourself as a professional photographer. Tell her she has the potential to be a model (most girls dig this) and you only need a few photos of her so that you can do a portfolio for her. Make appointment. Now on the said appointment day you have a few hours to work your magic on her. If your presentation is good enought, one thing will lead to another then who knows, it might just be your lucky day. I mean some of the girls that my friend Vodka shot on are seriously potential mating mates. Just look at the photos.

Above: from left the Colosseum, St.Mark's Square and Galleria Vittorio Emanuelle


Above: from left Putrajaya and KLCC

I do have to admit that his photos do look quite professional. Most of them are quite clear and the color balance is good. Only thing is that the exposure on some of the photos are a bit too much. Then some are of studio quality.

If you are planing to pursue this hobby please do remember you have to touch up your photos before publishing. It is nearly impossible to capture a perfect photo. What you want to do is to get you photos as close to perfect as possible and then do as little touch up as possible and you will have nice photos. You can use any software to do your touch up, here's a free open source image editing software that has the same capabilities as Photoshop, called GIMP.

Yes this hobby seems fun, lots of excuses to go traveling to many exotic places in the name of photography. Do not forget that it is also a great way to pick up gals/guys. Photos are also express as an art form where exhibitions are also common and very popular. Some nice collections can be found at PicasaWeb and also Flickr.

So if I did inspire some of you on this hobby do add some comments and if you do have some photos to share do include your Picasa or Flickr links in your comments.

A Parallel Universe Discovered

The link below says that scientists in Oxford University have discovered/proved that there is a parallel universe to the one we live in. It goes on to explain the way this universe would function. Go below to the link to read more, but the reason that I chose to blog this is to further discuss this issue.

Now, currently this is just a mathematical discovery but when a way has been discovered to exploit this science the possibilities are endless. As mention in the article, events happens with all scenarios all at once (talk about having options). So does this open up the possibility of time travel? I would say so. Or at least a way to change our future. WOW! Imagine doing something stupid then having the option to redo that action. Screw your boss then just go back and literally take it all back. Well it would be fun. After a good screw, do it all again! Do something then rewind and do it all again or in another way.

In my opinion, if this discovery's true value would be, the ability to see the future. The consequence of our actions today. This would be of great value for all human kind. It just might keep us from putting ourself on the endangered species.

Well, as and when this discovery can be put to good use, I'm sure it would be a great scientific breakthrough. Care to wager with me?

Peek into The future

This is a trailer of a short movie by Michael Sullivan called "Sex Life of Robots". It shows a time in the future where there is no visible signs of human presence. Only a world filled with robots. Of course like the title suggest it shows the robots humping.

God I do wish this is not the future of mankind. I wonder who did the programing for the robots, you could see them playing with sex toys and even one fucking a robot horse/dog. Sick bastard!!!

Sea Water Fuel

A follow up to yesterday's post. The video of the inventor and how the process is done.

Wednesday, September 12, 2007

The Next Big Thing

Currently with the limited supply of fossil fuel left on this planet, we are all looking for a new fuel to replace fossil fuel. I guess we all have heard of renewable or green fuel. Now this mostly means processed vegetable oil like bio-diesel or hydro power, wind power and the latest wave power. The later is mostly used to generate electric power.



Yes, this technologies are being develop but they are still not very viable or the technique is still not perfected yet. That is why we are all still very dependent on mineral oil for most of our energy needs. So when oil hits USD75pb it really hurts us where it hurts the most. Petrol goes up, food prices goes up, well basically our cost of living goes up dramatically.



Now, wouldn't it be nice if some body invented a way to use water as fuel. Power cost would be cut by more than half and let us not forget that it would be the greenest fuel available. Also we would not have to contribute towards the sand nigger's pockets anymore!





So guess what? Someone has already accidental discovered a way to do just that. Ok, maybe not clean water but sea water. Well even better cause we would not have to process that and 2/3 of this planet is covered with it. Hard to believe isn't it?


Well John Kanzius, of Washington County did just that. He found a way to burn sea water using radio frequencies. And burn did the water burn. It continued to burn as long as it was expose to the radio waves. Yeah!


So now, he is requesting for funds from the U.S. Department of Energy and Department of Defense officials in Washington for further research.


Well let us hope this discovery will become commercially launch in the next few years. Cause the amount of money we all spent on energy could be better used. So if this is viable then it would surely be the next big thing if not the biggest think since the invention of the wheel! Now who wants to put a wager on this with me, huh?
