Silent mind or noisy mind?

How many people will read this post?
It is boring without any photo.
It is not stimulating to the mind.
It is black and white without color.
It is a waste of time right?
Maybe if you have concern for me
or if you like me you will read it.
If you dislike me you might read it too.
We humans communicate all the time.
We talk to ourselves all the times.
We are like a noisy radio day in an out.
To have a silent mind is really the peace of mind
Today, I received an email from Swan Tan from Penang who is willing to help my centre, so I do a write up/my biodata for him as below..

However, all Dhamma learnings will be just theory if one does  not utilise it.  So the Dhamma will be more meaningful if one can put it into practice and also influence others to practice as well. Then it is not a talk, but a walk (practice).
As the saying goes..Talk the walk, walk the talk..

Hence, my Aggacara centre is an application of Dhamma in every day life and here we emphasis pariyatti  (learning and teaching) and patipatti (practice) at the same time.
Now we are at the initial stage, so we are facing problems with the road, low electricity etc. However we will persevere till the end..
'when the going gets tough, the tough gets going.'

Sharing with you all.....the Dhamma Practice.

Noisy mind?
