Thus have I heard: Striving to be a Nobody
http://evammesutam.blogspot.com/p/striving-to-be-nobody.html
Striving to be a Nobody. A lovely poem composed by the late Bhante Suvanno, Abbot of Lunas Buddhist Hermitage in Kedah, renounced at age 60. Everybody wants to be a somebody. Nobody knows how to be a nobody. If ever there is a 'somebody'. Who knows how to be a nobody. Then that nobody is a real somebody. If you ever want to be a nobody. Then follow that somebody. Who already is a 'nobody'. Later, let go of everybody. Who already is a nobody. Eventually, you will be a real nobody. Striving to be a Nobody.

Sunday, October 14, 2012. Taking Refuge in Triple Gems. Buddhists are people who believes in the Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha, Kamma and Kamma-vipaka. We need to try to become real Buddhist by having faith in Buddha, Dhamma, Sangha, Kamma and Kamma-vipaka. We must strengthened our Saddha. One of the way is to take the triple Gem everyday. We can take the triple gem at home but it is better we take our triple from the Sangha. This way will make us remember the Sangha. Location: Taman Desa Damai Bukit Mertajam.
