Goenka 10-day Vipassana Meditation Course

(The imposing Main Meditation Hall of the Dhamma Malaya Vipassana Centre, Gambang, Kuantan, Malaysia)


Some time ago I wrote about my intention to attend a 10-day meditation retreat, but had to cancel the trip.  To read the post CLICK HERE.

I finally made the trip on December 5, 2012 to Dhamma Malaya Vipassana Centre at Gambang, near Kuantan, Malaysia. The centre conducts the 10-day Vipassana meditation course based on the Goenka tradition.  It was a most fruitful experience for me.

China’s New First Lady : Peng Liyuan

(China’s New First Lady : Peng Liyuan)

I wrote an article entitled "China’s New First Lady : Peng Liyuan" in another site.  If you wish to read about it, please click "China’s New First Lady : Peng Liyuan".

Here I like to present the Youtube videos featuring Peng Liyuan with her stage and singing appearances. The song in the last video is called “I have a love affair”.  This video only featured her singing the song, as it was not staged.  Incidentally it is also one of my favourite songs.  This is an evergreen romantic ballad.
