Re: Batam Info / Interest / Help Thread

Breakfast,allowing my friends to try out hotel breakfast 1st and rest for about an hour before heading to Maha Vihara Duta Maitreya Buddhist Temple :


I am quite surprise by a few things when I visit this temple again. I see Japanese and Korean tourists there taking photos. I see students doing volunteer work even on a Sunday. My friends were feeling a sense of peaceful ambience when they stepped into the temple.

For bros who thinks they have seen it all in this temple, well...below is something that you may have missed.




The students in this school (which is also a temple) came back on Sunday to POLISH something that look like a shiny carpet!! Amazing isnt it? Most students in Sillypore would rather stay at home,go out with friends or be with their family on Sundays but these students were actually...well...from my perspective,they amazed me.

Note : I think the carpet they were polishing were those for long distance walking prayer ceremony where worshippers need to kneel once,bow thrice and then stand up to move forward 3 steps and then repeat same process for a few kilometers. (not 100% sure tho)
