We visited the library and bookstores most of the time during this December school holidays...
Luckily though, he enjoyed going to all these places too. =)
I suddenly remembered what my leader, Lixiang, shared with me about having abundant good fortune.
She said one WD used to work in one of the shops in Toa Payoh.
As no one looked after her son, she left her son at TPY Library while she worked...
This WD would then picked her son up after work and went home together.
Her son, thus spent hours reading books in the library almost everyday, he did not have tuitions nor attend any enrichment classes. This boy eventually became a scholar.
Lixiang continued to explain that if this WD and boy has no good fortune in their lives, the boy could have gone astray as he has no adult around to supervise him; he could have ran away to play while his mummy worked and go back to the library when her mother knocked off. Hence, having good fortune is very important and we should accumulate it via our buddhist practices.
