Profound Affinity between Buddha Maitreya & Mr. Kumar
What made Mr. Kumar, from Amristar, Northern India, trusted a Facebook friend? A virtual friend whom he never met? Devoting more than 48 hours of round-trip to receive Tao, spending most of time on bus, train, and waiting, a lonely trip by himself, without accompanied by any friend or family member. What made him eager to receive Tao, while he was a believer of Lord Shiva? What motivated him to have the will to receiving Tao, go on this long trip, in less than a month of acquaintance on Facebook? |

Finding a Tao temple:
In late December 2016, Mr. Kumar was sincere and willing to receive Tao. Ms. Joanna knew she must bridge the connection between Mr. Kumar and the Tao temple. On Jan 10, thru Master Lee's referral (from Tanshen Temple), Ms. Joanna learned that Master Wu would be the first point of contact in India. Flying to Kathmandu, Nepal?
During the early email discussion, Master Wu expressed that he is propagating Tao in southern India. The Tao temples are located in Bangalore and Chennai. However, Mr. Kumar currently resides in the northern part of India. Therefore, it seem that there was only 2 options left: travel east to Kathmandu or travel to the southern India to meet Master Wu. By looking at the map, flying to Kathmandu, Nepal seemed to be a better option because it is closer to Mr. Kumar's residence. |

On Jan 13, 2017, upon making connection with the Tao temple in Nepal, Ms. Joanna was informed that Master Liang who is in charge of Nepal Tao affair couldn't bestowed Tao Blessing to Mr. Kumar as Master Liang was in Taiwan for the annual Chinese New Year Celebration.
Making connection with Master Lim (from Singapore):
After several days of pondering, fortunately, on Jan 17, Master Wu expressed in email that another Master, Master Lim, currently is spreading Tao in Northern India. Thru further email discussion, Master Lim informed Ms. Joanna that there is no prayer hall in Lucknow or any place in Northern India. Master Lim stated his holy mission is to explore North India around the areas of Buddha sacred sites to find suitable places and people with affinity.

Finalizing the trip:
Great News! During the email discussion, Master Lim expressed that during Feb 18 and Feb 29, he would visited India; he would fly from Singapore into India to spread Tao. Master Lim's itinerary was to arrive in Indira Gandhi International Airport (New Delhi), ride bus to Agra, stay overnight at Hotel Amar in Agra, and continue on the Tao trip to Lucknow and Bhagalpur. In the subsequent email discussions, there are several options for preparing Mr. Kumar's arrival at Lucknow or Agra via flight, train, or bus ride. To accommodate his and Master Lim's schedule, Mr. Kumar decided a direct train ride from Amristar to Agra would be an ideal one. In the following weeks, Mr. Kumar finalized all the details with Master Lim of this holy trip to Agra.
