I came across this in my search for interesting material for the Buddha’s Face blog – it’s a board game for Buddhists or just people who like board games.The board game came out in 2006 and has been very well reviewed by the media and players.
It’s a board game developed by Emily Rogers of Sarasvati Arts and she spend four years developing the art and game play. Have to say I haven’t played it but it looks like a great and fun way to discover more about yourself and your journey through life according to Buddhist principles.
It must be said that the Buddha wasn’t too keen on games and game playing but then he was the Buddha who had found enlightenment and non-attachment. The purpose of the game must ultimately be to leave the game!
Of course the wheel is a Buddhist symbol and in the immediate aftermath of the Buddha’s death was often used to represent him (as he had preached about not making statues or representations of him as a bulwark against idolatry).

Sometime it becomes very hard to find a well written and well established bog which give you correct and useful information. However, I found this blog and got some relevant information which are really helpful for me.ขาย board game
ReplyDeleteSemua Ahli-ahli MCA Malaysia yang dihormati,
ReplyDeleteSegelintir pemimpin MCA seperti YIP KUM FOOK (lawyer, MCA Gombak) dan Yip Jiun Hann(pemuda MCA Gombak) perangainya sendiri pun tidak bermoral dan nama pun sangat busuk di Selangor. Khas nya di Kepong, Selayang, Rawang dan lain tempat, seperti makan wang SAMNAK SAMBODHI, DESA JAYA, KEPONG, merosakkan keluarga orang lain……..perangai sebegitu jahat.
Mereka cuba suruh kita menyokong Donald lim Siang Chai, sekira kumpulan ini bermenang dalam parti MCA, saya yakin parti MCA akan tenggelam selama-lama di Malaysia
Jangan kena jerat, sokong lah Saudara Dr Wee Ka Siong
SAMNAK SAMBODHI COMMITTEES
Dear brother and sister,
ReplyDeleteI am Myanmar who working in Malaysia more than 10 years and I would like to explain about SAMNAK SAMBODHI BUDDHIST ASSOCIATION. Therefore, recently I stayed at SASANARAKKHA BUDDHIST SANCTUARY (SBS), Taiping, Perak. I am very close with Ven. U Nandiya Maha Thero.
My monk Ven. U Nandiya is very good heart and compassion to everyone in the world, also I heard when he stayed at Kuala Lumpur Buddhist Temple, he lends donation money to President of Temple (DATUK YIP KUM FOOK, MCA Gombak) with amount RM20,000.00 only and he said that money belong to Myanmar society in Malaysia.
On the other hand, my monk said, also many things happened when he stayed there because committees always disturbing, I am very sadly about that matter, why committees are very poor and crooks. Others Temple, people come to Temple to respected Buddha and Monks, also give red packet to monks. Why this Temple, monks must give money to committees, this is opposite.
If anyone receive or read this message, please inform to DATUK YIP KUM FOOK (president of Temple) to return that amount to my monk as soon as possible.

Anyone visiting this Buddhist Temple must be careful with the committee members as they can suck your money and the president of the Temple is also more sucking monks’ money already, add and call the police to arrest Buddhist monks
