Honor and Privilege

Majority of catholics would be thrilled even just to take a glimpse of the Pope in person. Some may have the finance to travel to the “Holy Land” to see him on his balcony, others may even have the privilege to meet him in person. On the other hand, most would never ever meet the pope in person in their lifetime.

I had the privilege and the honor to meet one of the highest ranking monks in Buddhism, Venerable Master Hsin Pei (å¿ƒåŸ¹å’Œå°š Xinpei Heshang). He is the current Abbot and director of Fo Guang Shan and second in line to Venerable Master Hsing Yun.

He came to Cebu for a special show of the Siddhartha musical that was played in CCP a week before. Sadly he wasn’t able to watch the show in CCP due to schedule problems. In a way, his visit was also a part of the judgment if we will be officially brought to Taiwan to do another show of the Siddhartha musical. There were comments from him that really made sense, but overall he enjoyed the play very much.

As for the verdict…. TAIWAN HERE WE COME!!! Possible schedule is on April or May.
