Message from Singapore Paranormal Investigators:-
Come explore the topic of reincarnation with guest speaker, Lama Thubten Namdrol Dorje, in the very first of our series of interactive forums - “I Remember Me…From Before…” on 01 July 2006.
A recognized tulku (reincarnate Buddhist master) in the Tibetan Buddhist tradition, Lama Namdrol is also the abbot of Thekchen Choling (Singapore), a Tibetan Buddhist centre in Singapore. Having started practicing Buddhism from the tender age of 7, he will discuss the concept of reincarnation and share with us his insights and experience from years of practicing and teaching Buddhism if past lives truly exist and how they affect our current lives.
He will next examine the history and significance of the Lunar 7th Month or more popularly known as the “Hungry Ghost Festival” in the second forum titled “The Art of Death” on 08 July 2006. This second forum explores how this festival originated and evolved in the local context of Singapore and seeks to answer our burning (no pun intended) questions such as “Why do people burn ‘hell notes’?” and “Do our ancestors really receive and benefit from our burnt offerings?”
Clear Reflections and SPI warmly invite you to participate in both the above forums.
Registration is ** FREE **. Feel free to forward this information to your family, friends, colleagues and any one who would be interested. For more information and registration, click to: http://spi.com.sg/forum/viewforum.php?f=1

has anyone ever been asked "what do you see yourself in 5 years time?"
i always felt that's a stupid question to ask especially during a job interview or job apraisal.
like i know what will happen tomorrow when things are ever changing.....
or is it a way the interviewer would like to see how optimistic or how well presented the person is before employing him or her. (is it the creativity?)
i know of some people, they just answer impressively just to get the job. but at that moment are they really that truthful?
people love to hear nice good stuff but always brush away those unpleasant ones which actually speaks the truth. -
They wanna see ur target/goal... cos ppl with targets and goals are usually more successful (research proven)
-
research proven is still not a 100% accuracy, there is always space for the benefit of doubt.Originally posted by An Eternal Now:They wanna see ur target/goal... cos ppl with targets and goals are usually more successful (research proven)
what does this question says? - "where do you see yourself standing right now?"
isn't that more powerful? -
Hi, how is everyone?

Great... glad the topic is revivedOriginally posted by White_Wolf_Thunder:Hi, how is everyone? -
I'm one of the culprit who will use this question during interviews. However, I'm not trying to get the interviewees to prophecise their future, rather to test their sincerity in obtaining the job.Originally posted by paperflower:has anyone ever been asked "what do you see yourself in 5 years time?"

Depending on job nature, if the job is a clerical position, and you have someone tell you that he wants to be a manager, director in 5 years time, you jolly well knows that that candidate will not stay long. Likewise, if he/she tells u :"dunno leh", means that he/she doesn't even know what he/she is applying for.
There's no right or wrong, nor perfect answer here, but every answer you gave tells the interviewer something about your direction.
Just some sharing.. -

Dzi (pronounced "Zee") is a Tibetan word to describe a patterned, usually agate bead of mainly cylindrical or tabular shape. In Chinese, it is known as Heaven's Bead (天珠
. The beads originate in the Tibetan cultural sphere. They may have etched symbols composed of circles, ovals, square, waves, stripes, lines and various other natural symbolic patterns. Other classes of dzi include natural banded agates that have been untreated. Normally, they have a reddish or brownish colour.
The origin of "old" or "authentic" dzi beads is unknown. Several theories exist in Tibetan popular culture explain their origins, for example, that they are made by the gods. As such, dzi beads are endowed with talismanic properties. In recent years their monetary value has increased radically, with authentic beads reagularly valued at several thousand dollars apiece.[citation needed] Within the last fifteen to twenty years, the so-called "lost" process of manufacture (involving the etching or carving of beads, the use of a chemical agent such as a carbonate, and the firing of the agate bead) has been widely resurrected leading to a host of forgeries in the guise of "new" dzi beads.
It is worn by Tibetan people for centuries or millenias. Although I personally do not believe some of the claims of Dzi beads, I was quite interested in them cos they look v nice an exotic. But of course, too expensive to afford a real one

An interesting article I came upon when looking into some of the newspaper articles I kept over the years for reference in the future.
This one written in October 2005, before Prime Minister Thaksin of Thailand stepped down. It is about Phra Luangta, also known as Ajahn Maha Boowa, criticising Prime Minister Thaksin for his ways. I have seen Ajahn Maha Boowa's book, he is truly an enlightened master. Known to be an arhant He does comment on the political situations, and he is quite a psychically powerful person so I believe he could foresee certain things coming... in fact this is not the first time he was featured on the Straits Times if I remember.
I scanned and uploaded the article: http://share.ws/links/luangtaarticle/ -
