2007 Hawaii - Los Angeles Buddhism Retreat at Hsi Lai Temple

Our friends from Hawaii.



During an introduction (Seems as if we have known each other for a long time, isn't it?!);
Fanny (on stage) from NY is our MC :)


The wonderful beautiful Hawaiian dance.


During the two days camp on March 15 and 16, 2007, we learned a lot about Buddhism, Buddhist instrument, stories of the Buddha, Ven. Master Hsing-Yun's teachings, meditation; we had a basketball competition, did Buddhism skits together, and much much more!!

Reflection
The Buddhism Retreat was a great experience for me. I’ve learned through my years in YAD that having a fun activity is not the most fun part, but to have actually learn something that’s meaningful and useful for the rest of your life. This Buddhism retreat will be the best example. The Buddhism classes, when presented in an interesting way, become such a powerful thought to have in mind. I wish I can remember to use it when coping with life’s difficulties and my frustrations in the future.
