The entourage from Losang Dragpa Centre (in red T-Shirts) came down in a chartered bus with 38 members.
My sister and brother in law who live in Singapore came over to meet up with me and sametime seek blessings from Khen Rinpoche.
I left Singapore at 3.00pm after the Vegetarian lunch provided by ABC. It was raining heavily in Jb and I left JB at 6.00pm. The jam at Senawang-Seremban was very bad and we reached home at 11.15pm with stopover at Seremban for dinner.
