Empangan Batu, Hulu Yam. The tranquil outskirt of Selangor, situated just about 45 minutes away from the hussle of the noisy & hectic life of the capital city of malaysia.
The dam is rather quiet without much activities as it dangerous and the dam is rather deep, which supplies to the whole of klang valley. However, the place is ideal for picnickers to spend one day of peace and relaxation. about 1 km away, there are waterfall spots where people can rest and have a nice cool dip in the hot blaring sun in the afternon.
A group of about 30 people from all over klang valley gathered and participated at an outing basically focusing on the pure intentions of releasing life as an act of liberation of beings from sufferings.
Fishes were bought from markets and shops and then released into their natural abode. It was such a joy to see those fishes swimming happily after being released.
The act of liberation "saving a life" reflects the law of kamma which states that the pure intentions to release life brings better life and rebirth. As when you are very aware that another life / being is about to be ended and then to be consumed, then it is advisable to help free the life / being from being killed.
This itself is an act of saving of lives. However, this topic of liberaion is very complex and subjective. Many at times, people tend to ask "I release the birds around the trees area. Then I saw shooters shooting birds as an enjoyment and practice. What should I do then?" "better I dont release".
Later that afternoon, we spent our time eating and fellowship amongst us and then we headed off to the waterfalls. unfortunately, non of us went for cool dip. After that, we headed to Kuala Kubu Bharu Hermitage to meet a sayadaw from Burma.....
