All aboard the Indian train to Enlightenment - Buddhist pilgrim railways

The Indian authorities have laid on a special train to take Buddhist pilgrims from the Sri Lanka and all points in between to the major Buddhist pilgramage sites of India.

The pilgrims can see 11 Buddhist sites starting with the paintings and sculptures in Ajanta and Ellora Caves. Other Buddhist pilgrimages are to the massive Stupa at Sanchi; Sravasti, capital of the ancient Kingdom; the birth place of the Buddha in Lumbini, Nepal; the Mahaparinirvana Temple in Kushinagar; Vaishali, where the Buddha gave his last sermon; Buddhist monasteries and temples of Nalanda; Rajgir, where Buddha gave two of his most famous sermons; Bodhi Gaya where the Buddha reached enlightenment; Sarnath – the deer park where he preached his very first sermon; and finally ending at Nagarjunakonda.

We're all pilgrims on the same journey-but some pilgrims have better road maps. - Nelson DeMille



From a large feature wall piece to a small serene stone Buddha for that corner in your garden, it’s all here.

  1. His son (YIP JIUN HANN叶君瀚, 律师..MCA GOMBAK) also has the same behavior and habits as his father because father (YIP KUM FOOK叶金福, 律师) does bad things in society, cheats people about money and has sex with people's wives everywhere and the children(son) also play women everywhere too

    now many people know about this YIP KUM FOOK叶金福 family in their way of life, but they can't escape from people gossiping about what they have done. in the end life is hard.. pity those who do evil, not in this life but have to bear it for another life as well.

    They will tremble all their lives in life and they are not free all their lives like animals touching hot water, in Buddhist who broke the Sangha community, this is the greatest sin, also not easy to confess and there is no way to cleanse it

    Really to happen to you, your friends and relatives will laugh at you, you will be lonely without friends because when you have a lot of money, you are proud of them, at that time nobody wants you...you will walk the road alone
