Nan Tien Temple


"Renunciation" is to liberate orselves from the affliction of birth and death, renounce orselves from fame and material wealth

"Cultivation" is to observe and propagate the teachings of Budda, to help orselves and assist others to acquire purity of mind and harmonious living.

A day's Life in the Temple Nan Tien depicts scenes and sentiments af everyday life for a monastic, shining forth the Buddhish Light.
Thanks Subongkot Kwunchaithunya (Amy), for sharing this magic day and teaching me to enjoy every single moment in this life.

  1. Como estay!

    Que excelentes fotos. ¿Dónde es eso? ¿en Australia o alguna parte de Asia? Está espectacular el lugar. Ideal para relajarse y meditar.

    Cuando volvai vay a tener que contar todos los secretos asiáticos de relajación. Más de uno tendrai que haber aprendio con esa chinita...

    Suerte en la nueva pega. Una nueva aventura, supongo.

    Saludos!

  3. ¿Qué hace un cowboy en un templo de Buda? Eso si que no me lo imaginaba, la existencia de esas maravillas orientales y con Guía Turística incluída. Felicidades.

  4. Seba: No doubt it is a privilege of God te be there in a magic place and living magics moments.
    It is a great emotion to me see you in the middle of these pics, in one of the most important place you have visited, and you know that is my best dream to visit something like that where you can purifie your body an SOUL. You are a fortunate person, because of your way of being, and because you believe in dreams and the most important : IN YOURSELF. God bless you and my congratulations for walking along this life with only one target: "the compass of your north"

    I miss you, and I´m very proud of you.

    your mother

  8. Amazing trip.

    In what part of Australia is this located? Near your new workplace?

    Maybe what you said was a little 'clichè', but i believe it might be true. Looks like a magic place, an oasis in the middle of the desert. The best place to put your thoughts straight.

    Amy was a guide or a new friend?

    Hope you and you family are all right. Good Luck!

    Bye.

  9. Hey! hi again Mr. Guau
    Amy is a friend and Work Mate in the Four Seasons too
    This place is located in direction south to Sydney 3 hours in UNANDERRA, you need catch one train and travel looking the Ocean Pacific on your Left and Jungle and Mountains in your Right side.

    A few people knows about this magic place...and believe me IS MAGIC

  11. Beautiful pics, Crazy-buddhist-drile.
    But there are some questions:
    1.- Where Amy comes from?;
    2.- As Don Ricar said: What is a cowboy doing in a Buddhist Temple?;
    3.- Are there any Buddhist Temple on Sydney?
    Finally, information from the Mandrilland Files:
    - 1.9% of the australian population is Buddhist = 391.000 people.

  12. Pionka!
    K talca! es un templo Budista el mas garnde de Australia...es un templo Chino ubicado a tres horas en tren al sur de Sydney, por un camino parecido como ir al Machu Pichu en Peru...pero aca tienes el oceano rompiendo las olas contra las rocas a tu derecha y selva y jungla a tu izquierda....luego llegas a un lugar en medio de la nada y sin nadie y caminas subiendo a un monte en medio de un bosque en donde esta el Templo...fue una experiencia alucinante y pude escribir con tinta china una oracion por mi viaje y Amy me regalo un amuleto budista para mi travesia....un timon de barco hecho en madera por los monjes...le conte que el papa me habia regalado un timon tambien y que nosotros los de la Puente hablabamos muchas veces haciendo alucion a barcos, brujulas, tavesias y timones...como siempre hablamos con el papa o cuando nos regalo a mi ese timon y a ustedes con Tono esos jarrones de la armada

    Ella es un misterio por el momento tinuninutinuninu....hahahhahaha

    Un beso Pionka
    take it easy!

  19. hello antonella

    Warmest greetings from Sydney ..

    thank you very much for your lovely comment ... It was a great spiritual trip to visit the temple .. it is peaceful place to purify your soul and recharge you with the positive and loving energy of the universe ...

    Actually, It was raining on that day ,, after the rain, the sky became clear with the sunshine ...

    Like us when we have problems , we feel sad and blue .., Once we know the cause of the problem , we then find the solution.., it make our mind clearer and know what to do to solve the problems .. it is the same rule with the rain ...after the rain, it has the sunshine ..

    The buddha teachs us that LIfe is too short so please enjoy every single moment of your life and be happy ...

    Buddha bless you ...

    Amy
