• A Free Meal

    I was fortunate to work at a company where I received a free lunch each working day during the COVID-19 pandemic. Besides getting a free lunch, I also get to take another free vegetarian lunch box home if there’s any left over by the end of the day. One day on my way home, I saw a homeless man about middle age drove a bicycle to his tent which camped next to the freeway entrance. Within a split second, I thought to myself, how fortunate I am to have free lunch at work and even get to take home a second free meal sometimes. I was overwhelmed with so much…

    I sponsored gifts for children who are in need for this holiday. I volunteered to sponsor 4 children. I spoke to my housemate about this wonderful event that my coworker is doing.

  • Can’t Run Away from Your Teachers

    This is a little long winded, but a true story. There is a certain type of personality (reminds me of a family member) that can be harsh, judgmental, perfectionist, bossy, and critical (let me also add makes mountains out of mole hills and complains) that triggers a strong uncomfortable emotion in me. I had a coworker that I would see day in and day out that had this personality. We had a fall out and the tension between us with immense. I prayed and meditated, but still the tension persisted. I was so uncomfortable that I left that site and transferred to another site, hoping my coworkers would be easier…

  • Donating Winter Clothings

    Yesterday I supported a program organized by a youth group from a local Buddhist temple by donating some winter coats. These youths are collecting winter clothing and then help to distribute it to people who needs it. They were very thoughtful by reminding us to wash the clothes first and carefully label all items and to follow all the safety precaution measures during this pandemic time when we drop off the items. I applause the good deeds these youth are doing!

  • Buddha Root Fam Malaysia 2019

    So far, in my life, I thought the relationship between songs and Buddhist is not close until I joined the Buddha Root Farm Malaysia in 2019. At BRFM 2019, Rev Heng Sure has lighten my mind by carry out the buddha’s teaching, songs, “puppet” show, and etc. At there, the buddha songs, explanation, open discussion and activities, really touched a chord with me. Also, the Q&A at there is convincing. After a year, I can still remember vividly the teaching and songs. Definitely, I will invite others to join BRFM.

  • Between the North and the South is the Centre

    My story of kindness is a kind of a ‘loooooong story’ but cutting the long story short it’s the 18 page Dharma article about Theravada and Mahayana schools living together in harmony. I’ve written that for my Dharma brothers and I’m thinking now what would be the best way to share it 🙂

    剛剛過去的週六,長途趕回農村老家(中國北方)參加的親戚家子女的婚禮。看到廚房準備的各種肉菜:雞鴨魚肉等等,默默的為它們誦彌陀聖號。婚禮慶典結束後,還是覺得做的不夠,在回城路上為它們誦持108遍往生咒:愿眾生離苦得樂,早生淨土。
