even buddha used to be a primate…

these days i am busy at work and i have a little headache from staring at the computer.

But it is still a good day today.  in the morning an elementary school classmate called me if i wanna join him in the test visit of the Expo.  i didn't see the missed call until noon so didn’t go. but it is nonetheless a nice thing to hear from people.  and at noon, a high school classmate called me - so with him and another classmate that i haven't seen since graduation had lunch together -- with their colleagues as well.  in the afternoon, just when i was getting sleepy from work, i got a call from a colleague in hk -- nice to catch up (and business does not sound so bleak).  

all these kind of cheer me up.  i suppose hiding in that little corner cube is not exactly good for my mental health.  and it sucks to be quiet for a whole day. after all, primates are social animals.  with all those buddhist thinking and understanding of eternal suffering, i am not a quiet loner yet. 

Dzongsar Khyentse Rinpoche will be in Hong Kong on May 5 to teach.  i am a little tempted to go.  but i guess i will end up not going for fear of disillusionment when you see the real guy. and i am hardly such a dramatic person (not desperate enough yet i guess).  his books are good enough.  and based on those teachings, whether i go or not should not matter, hehe.  and i hope to see the video of the teachings online later on to enlighten my mind.
