ROW Lecture Tour - Malaysia 2012 Part 2



The most delightful resort and organic farm that I mentioned at the end of my last posting, is, to say the least, a most inspiring and awesome development involving the expenditure of not hundreds, or thousands of dollars, but running into many millions. It is being developed by a local builder - the out-living of his dream, as I would see it. During our conversations I became very aware of his understanding of our need to have continual contact with all the elements of nature, and the very in-depth feeling and rapport that this incites in him.



It is important to bear in mind when viewing the photos and reading the text that all of this is being developed on the site of an old and abandoned tin mine, with what soil there is being considered as useless clay and sand.

These are photos of some of the heavy equipment in use at the resort to enable them to achive the massive earthmoving, and earthworks that are necessary for such a project to achive its aim within a relatively short period of time, considering its size, and the work involved.




Needless to say this is the type of equipment we would dearly love to assist us on the farm in OZ. You may rest asdsured though, that I/we are not envious of them, and only wish them well. If such were possible we would indeed love to assist them with their venture.


The guest accomodation units are built over the waters of an artificial lake.


A view of the lake with the units in the background.


The lining of the creek banks with these massive boulders, of the creeks feeding the lake, is one of the jobs the heavy equipment is called upon to do. With the heavy tropical downpours and flash flooding that occurs, this is a necessary precaution to stop erosion.


The development is so large that it requires its own electricity sub-station to supply all of its electrical requirements.


In various strategic spots, these thatched roofed gazebos are being erected for sitting quietly and meditating, enjoying the peacefulness, or sheltering from the frequent tropical storms.


Everywhere you look you see the trees and plants well nurtured with mulch.


The dreaded insects which attack the different fruits, such as the fruit fly and the sucking moth are also a reality here. To enable the fruit to mature and be edible without such attacks, the fruit is protected by covering with plastic bags. In this photo we see the fruit of the guava being saved by such an action.


Whilst at the resort I took the opportunity of visiting the nearby local Vispassana Centre. At this centre silent retreats are regularly held, being well attended by the local population. These silent retreats consist of spending ten days without talking.



To complete this segment I would like to share with you the photos of the magnificent building which has been created to comprise the the personal home for the owner and his special friends. It was here that we spent a most enjoyable two days.





What more magnificent setting could one ask for to eat on'e meal at the end of the day.

ROW Lecture Tour - Malaysia 2012


My journey actually commenced on Saturday March 17th with my arrival in KualaLumpur, having spent the Fridaynight of the 16th at a Motel on the Gold Coast prior to flying out just before midday for the eight hour flight to KL. Upon my arrival I was met by my host and colleague, Dr K V. and his friend prior to then travelling for a further four hours by bus to our destination, Kuantan.

,

In Kuantan we had the priviledge of staying with a local family in their delightful home. Malaysia is a relatively rich country by Asian standards, and the average person lives usually in a home which is one of many similar homes in a long line of attached homes. They are very remniscent in style to the English attached homes,  with living rooms downstairs, and bedrooms upstairs,although in all that I viewed much more spacious. Outside they have little, if any garden area.



The interior  of the home in which we stayed had a very beautiful parquetted floor  in the upstairs living area, and also on the stairs leading to it, which I found to be quite an unusual feature.


Generally speaking, the population of Malaysia consists of around 50% nativmembers of the Islame Malays, 30 % Chinese, and 10% Indian, with the balance of the population consisting on many any diverse minorities, the bulk of which are Pranakans, Eurasians, and the peoples of Sabah and Sarawak in the north of the island of Borneo.
The Malays are members of the Islam religion, whereas the Indian population are members of the various religions to be found in India as well as Islam. The Chinese  have retained  their original culture by following the three code of ethics: Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism.


Our host and myself with the President of the local Buddhist Society who most graciously lent us their projector and amplifier for my evening lecture which was given in another Buddhist centre.


This is the main building of the complex which is the Buddhist Centre.


The main entrance is dominated by a Laughing Buddha, a most auspicious omen for the followers of Buddhism.


The interior is dominated by this Golden Buddha.


This whole complex is built on the shore of this delightful natural lake.


And so to our lecture, with our heratfelt thanks to the local Buddhist society.


On our first morning we had the opportunity of meeting and working with the local Qui Gong master who received us into his ban of followers most graciously and directed our far from expert practice of the art.


On our second morning we joined the majority of the locals as they exercised by walking, and practicing the various disciplies such as Tai Chi, Qhi Gong, and such like.

 

On the third and fourth days of my visit we had the pleasure of visiting and staying at the Farm Resort, Gambang, Pahang, an organic farm and resort in the final stages of its development.
