Good Karma Music Stories

During one of the Dharma assembly in Deng Bi An (DBA), I was sitting across an old lady. At the end of her meal, she stood up to leave to wash the plate, and I happened to look up, I saw there was still some food left. It was the spicy “sambal”-a kind of chilli sauce that goes with rice. On that day the kitchen happened to cook a very spicy and hot “sambal.” I guess she could not eat it. So I stood up and went after her, and said “Amitofo, you do not want the sambal? I like it, I can have yours.” Thus no food was wasted. Amitofo.P/S: Please note, the email above is the email of a Dharma friend in China, whom I am giving the Dharma songs as a gift. Amitofo

I donated some money to help Zen Center of Las Vegas find a new location where they can continue their practice. Being surrounded by casions and world entertainment, I thought that it is important that this center is able to continue its dharma work. I understand that they are having an issue with its current location. After being in its present location for many years, they have to move out suddenly due to issues with the property owners. I have learned from this issue and I hope every other Buddhist centers learn from it, that even if the owners are presently students of the Master, and lets the center use it for free or for some payment, it is best to have a written agreement regarding the property. You need to put it down in writing whether it is operating lease, financial lease, outright purchase, etc. Spell out the terms. You never know that people can have a sudden change of heart. Then you may face a problem with your current location.

I just helped a partially sighted old lady cross the street in safety.

I gave way to an elderly lady to make sure that she can board the bus first and manage to find a seat before I proceed to move to the rear of the bus.When I do my visualisation exercise, I’ll not forget to send them white flowers to wish them good health and I’m always ready to share whatever knowledge (eg. health issues) with them to ensure everyone can stay healthy.

Sungai Buloh Leprosy Centre, a legacy of the British government, was built in 1930 to cater for the leprosy victims then. It catered specifically for those suffering from leprosy, which at that time was considered an incurable disease. After some 85 years, there are sill 70 to 80 victims staying in the dilapidated centre. On 15 Aug 2015, Sungai Buloh Settlement, as it is also known, will be celebrating its 85th anniversary. An open day will be organized on that day. In my small way, I had purchased some coupons to the celebration. My dear friend, a Mr. Lim would present the coupons to an old folk’s home and arrange for these senior citizens to the fun fair.I hope this little effort could in a small way be a reminder to the society of the forgotten people, who are in need of assistance.

Last weekend I went to local newspaper company where usually people in need will publish their difficuties and ask for a help in a charity section of a newspaper. Hence, I donated to a few, poor and sick old folks that have no child and also a handicap kidney patient.I know I could not do much to really change their life but just a small token to support them with what I can.After donating, I make a sincere wish for them to leave suffering.
