心经 Heart Sutra

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时,照见五蕴皆空,度一切苦厄。 舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,色即是空,空即是色。受、想、行、识,亦复如是。舍利子,是诸法空相:不生、不灭;不垢、不淨;不增、不减。是故空中无色,无受、想、行、识;无眼、耳、鼻、舌、身、意;无色、声、香、味、触、法;无眼界,乃至无意识界,无无明,亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。无苦、集、灭、道,无智亦无得。 以无所得故,菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无罣碍;无罣碍故,无有恐怖,远离颠倒梦想,究竟涅槃。三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。 故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神咒,是大明咒,是无上咒,是无等等咒;能除一切苦,真实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多咒,即说咒曰:   揭谛揭谛!  波罗揭谛! 波罗僧揭谛! 菩提萨婆诃!

Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Singapore

I finally went to Buddha Tooth Relic Temple at Chinatown Singapore this Monday. I decided to pray and also to see Buddha relic. Also I wanted to try the vegetarian food at basement 1 at the temple.

At level 3 there is a Buddha museum where you can read the history of Buddha and see Buddha relics and the tooth relic at level 4. Some tourists tried to take photo despite the sign indicating No photography and they had to be stopped by the security guard at level 4.

I revere Buddha as he is compassionate to all sentient living beings and his selfless teaching for 45 years to both humans and heavenly beings on how to end suffering. He also taught us not to accept anything at face value but to question and investigate and relate it to our own experience. May all sentient beings be enlightened and end samsara.

Did you know that there is Orchid garden at level 5? I will blog about it on my Blooming Flowers and Arts blog here https://bloomingflowersnarts.blogspot.com/  .

We like this blueberry bun.
