Good Karma Music Stories

During Buddha’s time, we had learnt that Buddha before becoming a Buddha, he has donated his bodies in his many past lives! This has not only benefited others, but also himself.What my perception below may be different from others in the understanding of buddhism and the way of preparation for death,but I strongly believe that it is true and would be happen based on the below explanation!When we just come to near death, we actually surrounded by a lot of negative energy or environment such as sadness from relatives due to our departure, which is difficult to avoid and most of time deter our way to next life. From what I understand from Buddhism, all branches of Buddhism are promoting to retain a good condition or energy to remain calm, peaceful, do the chanting or recite the good deed of the people near to death/dead person to instill a good energy to lead him into next life!Actually, by donating our lives would be the best way to create great and good energy or “qi” which are very needy in our next life, please imagine the feeling of receivers of your organs, definitely there is a great and good energy radiated, such as appreciation of receiving the organ, rejoice of new life we have given to the receivers and etc. The happiness of the receivers would definitely send a good energy or “qi” through conscious or unconscious “Meta Meditation” and the donor would definitely receiving it at the very first moment, which is crucial for our next life after death! (This is the most valuable energy or deed what we need in our next life!)Besides, the practice of letting go would be easier carried out and better understanding the truth of the nature of life, nonself and impermanent!If you wish to have an immediate effect and other deeds which could help in your next better life, the donation of body or organ would be the best approach above all!

My first real contact with the Dharma actually begings during my University years. The very first dharma talk that I ever listen to was by Ajahn Brahm on ‘How do Buddhist deal with sickness and death’. It was from there onwards I regarded myself as Buddhist. I started to look for dharma talk CDs and would listen to them over and over again. The special things about these CDs is that everytime I listen to them they would bring a different meaning. Until last year when The Chief Reverend was about to pass away I receive a SMS asking all Buddhist to send Metta to the Chief Reverend. That moment when I was sending Metta seems like there is a very special energy that comes into the present moment I could actually feel that someone or something is there with me. From that point onwards it has cemented my faith as a Buddhist.

My step father have had a rough year this year health wise. I’ve decided to go help him with no renumeration what so ever. I’ve been doing it now for a couple of months. people are looking at me strangely not really understanding how I can do it. I’ve studied all sort of medicine and therapy but true service is actually my medicine. Helping others I actually help myself!!

Two days before I attended the 5th Global Buddhist Conference ( 17 – 18 November 2007 ) in the Sunway Convention Center in Petaling Jaya, Malaysia, a little happening took place at our local Buddhist Association in Teluk Intan. A widow and her only child, a 7-year old boy named Chong Guan visited us. They were one of the cases in our Welfare Aid Program. When I first saw Chong Guan, something in my heart told me that he had the potential to grow in the Dhamma. He is intelligent and has an inquiring mind. I showed and explained to him the 30 copper-tooling plates displaying the life of the Buddha in our Shrine Hall. Chong Guan was most attentive and his eyes sparkled … this was his first encounter with the life history of Siddhartha Gautama Buddha.He will be following our Buddhist Sunday School next year. I hope the lotus in him will bloom …

I am a Chinese Malaysian studying in China for the past one and a half years. This is my first time to study abroad and I got many opportunities to meet friends from different background. Sometimes, chatting is not the only way to build a friendship as we may concern about different topics. I found out that doing Dana is a useful way. Dana included helping people financially or physically, sharing knowledge/skills and showing our sympathy. Doing dana not only can make merits, but also make ourselves to be more thoughtful, helpful and caring, and the more important thing is, we manage to help people! Both of us will be happy. Sometimes we may earn new skills by helping people.I win some friendships by doing Dana and it also helps me to get use to new environment more quickly. 🙂

Rev Heng Sure was recently here in KL for a conference. My wife received word that the reverend would be paying a visit to the way place at Old Klang Road and persuaded me to take her there. Reluctantly I agreed and took her there. I am glad I did!. Master Heng Sure’s dharma talk was most inspiring. He gave us a prebriefing of his following day’s presentation at the conference, “Preparing for Death”. His story about the widow of Wintech Technology’s widow was thought-provoking. It greatly illustrates that with faith, one can remain steadfast and resolute to overcome all pains & obstacles. The lure of ‘The Pure Land’ was also inspiring. Thank your very much, dear reverend, for sharing this knowledge with us. Amitofo

The greatest part of getting to know the dhamma, I learnt to be grattitude towards my parents. The difficult part is how to do the talk. For several years have been trying to share the joy of learning the dharma with my parents. Recently, my sister have bought the ticket to the 5th Global conference and she can’t make it. My first thought is to invite my parents to join. I know that will be difficult. The next thought is as usual they will be making excuses trying not to make it. However, I’ve make the effort to give them a call, encouraging them to come. Guess what, my mum is coming. Through out the conference, I can see her enjoying the talk and listening to the buddha dharma, and meeting new friends. She actually enjoy. I’m sure she will be sharing her joy with my dad later too. A good thoughts really need extra effort to take into action and it yields good result and the greatest joy is to be able to bring my parents along to the door of buddha dharma.p/s: My wife love the songs very much and it takes my courage to share my story to all here and now. With gratitude I say Sadhu!Sadhu!Sadhu! to those who composed the songs and create this opportunity for all to share. 🙂
