A Buddhism celebrity visits Malaysia

A Buddhism celebrity from Taiwan just visited Malaysia, and made a public preaching appearance on 25th Nov, 2012. Before the event, he met the One Najib, as a courtesy call and gave him a scroll of Chinese calligraphy, which is by the celebrity himself.

This celebrity had decided not to travel far a number of years ago, because of his failing health. Now that the GE13 is inevitably around the corner, he came here and met the One Najib? However the story is spinned, it just reads like a show, for the political gain.

在決定不出門好幾年之後,星雲法師今年來馬來西亞。在11月24日的大會上,真是盛事,不只是許多無名氏的善男信女去聴他弘法,還有華人圈中的政治人物名流到場,特別要記者拍下他們和星雲法師會面的相片在報章新聞中刋登。當然拍照之後,他們之中有誰是由大會的工作人員向人說他們另有急事走了,有誰留下來聴法師弘法就不得而知了。

在24日之前,星雲法師先去拜會馬來西亞首相納吉,送了親自寫的吉星高照給首相當紀念品。新聞報導特別強調說吉是指納吉,星是指星雲。

在馬來西亞本届國會就快要届滿,不得不改選的敏感時期,星雲法師這次[破例出訪馬來西亞](照本地報導抄自台灣報章的文稿用詞),還獲得首相納吉接見,怎麽看這行程都充滿了政治算計。真令人懷疑是不是馬來西亞政府暗中去說動法師來的?好讓納吉演一場政治秀?
