Meeting Ajahn Brahm

I don't know what good deeds I have done that my karma paid me so well.
I met Ajahn Brahm last night in person. I actually attended His seminar last night. I was actually thinking if I could make it, nevertheless, I made it!
Being able to meet Ajahn Brahm is the greatest honor in my life, when I saw him I really couldn't believe it. Oh Buddha what have i done to be able to meet a gem???

I listened to everything. I learned a lot from him. Keeping only good memories in your mind like how we always photograph the good memories but not those bad memories and that will not let us be reminded of the sad thing and let them hurt us again and to live happily. I also met Handaka Vijjananda , the founder of Ehipassiko Foundation. It was really the greatest honor in my whole life. Ehipassiko is the first foundation to produce Buddhism comics in the world and of course its books are fantastic. Ajahn Brahm also published his books through Ehipassiko Foundation. Yesterday Ajahn Brahm also launched his book 'Si Cacing dan Kotoran Kesayangannya 2'

I really saw that Ajahn Brahm is a very happy monk, he's quite funny too and I like him, he's now my idol. hahaha
He also said he is very happy as a monk, it's a simple and happy life. If my karma was better I'd have got the chance to buy his book and have his autograph on it and take a picture with him as well... but im contented enought to be able to listen to Him. If my karma is good, I'd like to meet him again and listen to his speeches. Thank you Ajahn Brahm, I really learned and am very happy since Ive listened to You...

I wanted to post some pictures I've taken of him but my karma wasn't good enough. The pictures are gone. Formatted. Anyway, the pictures will always remain forever in my mind.
