When I was a boy at school one of the popular playtime pastimes was the game of ‘Top Trumps’. These were packs of playing cards on particular themes. Particularly popular were cars and industrial vehicles though they could be almost anything which has a picture of the item and some important stats about it, such as number of passengers, cc capacity of the engine, cost. You would then pit your card set against your opponents on a card by card basis choosing what you thought was your best ‘stat’. The highest figure won the card. The object was to win all the cards off your opponents. I got to thinking was there a similar set for religions. Thanks to the wonders of the internet think no more – here’s the card for Buddhists!
Age: Over 2000 years old (we’re not counting re-incarnation)
Wealth :. .does not gurantee happiness (apparently)
Follower Dedication – mostly placid live and let live types. Except some extremist Buddhists in parts of Asia who kill Christians.
Daffiest Doctrine – Is the oneness in itself the same as the oneness for itself?
Weapon of Choice – Holds the passport to Nirvana.
Easily Offended? Too busy meditating

Semua 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.
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
