First Book completed

I finished my first book for 2010 today. That was to fit into my resolutions set at the start of this year - 2010. I wanted to read more books. I wanted to keep my language improving or at least keep up my writing and spoken english. Yes, probably to start off with english yeah.

Uncle Eric gave me a few books and particularly 2 new books when we met the last time at his place. Suddenly the passion to read just came to me 2 weeks ago and without fail, i read on and on everyday on this book - Buddhism Plain and Simple.

I guess most likely the topic was to my interest and something i was already been taught since young - fundamentals in buddhist practice.

It's hard for me to get on with a book... but this one did.

I learn as i read from the content: The eightfold paths of buddhism: Right Speech, Right Intention, Right Livelihood, Right Effort, Right View, Right Action, Right mindfulness, Right Meditation. The whole process is a practice. It all lies in the right intention and the rest comes in flow. It's reality we need to face and think about. Reality is where we are and what we are; The Relative and Absolute Truths. It was all a revision for me to revitalise and start my challenging year ahead. .... my journey to enlightenment.

I completed it today. so happy. heehee.....

time to get on with the next book!!
