Finally finished reading The Lotus Sutra. I don't think i fully grasp the true meaning. Towards the end, something caught me. The teachings of The Lotus Sutra is said to be the Supreme Truth. I quote below:
"....all the various religions in the world today clutter the way to mankind's common well-being but that in the future, without fail, all religions & learning will converge in the teaching of the Buddha.
Final truth, as best, can only be one, and so if all human beings move upward on the Way, though only bit by bit, they must arrive at last at the one teaching."
Spiritual part of life is something i can't explain as well. U'll just know and feel that the answer is that. Today, a lady said beside me as I ate, she worship both hinduism and buddhism but she came to listen to Buddhism to understand more. She was surprised why i was there when most people who are interested in the spiritual part of life are usually those who hit their late life. I don't think age is any factor. It's whether u really pause in your life to question. And there's nothing wrong with others who don't believe in religions as well.

I had a rain tree that grows outside my flat. Every morning the tree is the first thing i see as i opened my eyes. Since young, the rain tree has been faithfully 'smiling' outside my window, standing firmly. Just now, as i happen to look out the window, i wonder, what if one day, i no longer see this rain tree. This friend i've grow up with from young? If one day someone came to cut the tree? ....
