Keeping on with the theme of Buddhism in popular animated cartoon series is this particular gem. Less popular than the Simpsons but with a long and established fan base the Fox animated situation comedy King of the Hill featured a prolonged Buddhist theme for its 78th episode back in 2000.
The episode was praised and shown at the International Buddhist festival. Read more about it over at Wikipedia – Won’t You Pimai Neighbour.

CONNIE - "I just hear my dad's ignorance and my mum’s empty headed materialism. No, wait, I hear my dad's empty headed materialism too. That's the loudest."

ReplyDeleteBiar saya ceritakan sejarah tentang SAMNAK SAMBODHI, TAMAN DESA JAYA, KEPONG, KUALA LUMPUR. Kali terakhir kami menjadi ahli kuil tetapi kini kami berjauhan kerana kini Ahli Jawatankuasa amat berbangga dengan aktiviti dan tugas kuil.
Sebaliknya, presiden kuil sekarang ialah YIP KUM FOOK dan anaknya YIP JIUN HANN. Anaknya selalu berkata kepada para penganut: KUIL INI ADALAH KUIL BAPA SAYA. Atau ayah saya punnya harta …kami semua diam, kerana Kami tahu kuil ini dari mana asalnya...
Kini AHLI JAWATANKUASA kuil adalah satu-satunya kumpulan mereka sahaja. Orang lain tidak boleh menyertai sebagai ahli dan menggunakan sami Myanmar hanya untuk perkhidmatan dan berkat. Hanya sami Myanmar sahaja yang sangat fikiran cerdik (Semua sami dari Myanmar berpangkat DR atau PH. D), tetapi penganut di sini sangat keliru kerana penganut Buddha di sini tidak pernah mendengar nama itu (gelaran).
Jika kita faham ajaran Buddha yang mencipta KARMA BURUK. akan menerima apa yang telah dilakukan

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.
My monk contact place:

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
