Magic Hundred Goal Achievement: Buddhist Temple
Ok, so attending a buddhist temple may not seem the largest of goals but it’s personally meaningful to me… so there : )
I love buddhist temples!
Colour, grandeur, spectacle whilst at the same time simplicity and function.
For example, at Wat Chalong (‘Wat’ means temple and Chalong is the place) there’s a ton of colour, light, statues and even some of Buddha’s created remains whilst outside people set off fireworks, dogs roam the temple grounds freely and vendors sell Thai national lottery tickets.
If church were like this in England, I’d go : )
Buddhism is the religion/philosophy I resonate with most closely of all religions (though I’ve studied Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Sikhism, Hinduism, Taoism and Paganism and the Hare Krishna faith among others too) so I just love visiting temples and connecting with the simple spirituality that Buddhism represents.
As an non-theistic religion that does not worship a God but rather a set of precepts about how to live a good life, the Buddhist faith is one that really makes the most sense to me… except I’m not quite ready to believe that I need to be a vegetarian to live a good life (The concept is sound from a Karma perspective but who’s to say that plant matter is not sentient and part of the cycle of Karma too?).
Anyway, the long and short of it is that today another Magic hundred goal was achieved… and I’m glad both for the act of achieving the goal AND the genuine feeling of satisfaction gained from connecting with something deeper.

Wishing you an amazing day and the opportunity to make another of YOUR dreams come true.
