KMSPKS is organizing a 8 precepts retreat in Bodhgaya in December. And I was debating over attending it. Until a fellow classmate in my Buddhism class said that it was a waste of money flying over to India for a retreat that could have been held in Singapore itself.
Well, guess that’s true to a certain extent. There is also another view that you gain greater merits when you are practicing in the spot where the Buddha had attained enlightenment.
I suppose at the end of the day, all the above doesn’t matter. If you are sincere in practicing, it makes no difference where you are. The sincere Bodhicitta wish to practice should be all that matters.
