Pinehurst Golf Club



One month stint in Ayuthaya, Thailand on working assignment has provided good teaching for me. I worked 12 hours per day (including Saturdays). Thailand operation was tough as it was not too ready to produce current customer's specified parts. Everyday is a drudgery and hard struggle as if going through war or "hell". Discovered new surprises in each day and it can really drives one's up to the wall and go crazy. Somehow I started to complain and asked why me? why I am here?

Then with a calm and peaceful mind, I realize that life is not always a smooth journey. Sometimes good, sometimes bad and this is following the nature way of life. Probably my previous experience was too smooth and so I expect my current job to be the same. But how can it be the same? Looking at the surrounding of my accommodation (a country club house) appreciating the beautiful greenery of the golf course, it made me feel good and settle. This is a good dhamma lesson.

Wat Mahathat - Historical Park



Amazing site of The Sandstone Buddha Image at Ayuthaya. This Buddha Head is the only remainder of the entire image appeared at the base of Bodhi Tree, where the Lord Buddha gained enlightenment. No one knows where is the body and lower limbs go to, but this site is well received by the devotees and became of the main holy attractions throughout the country.
