• Thank you so much Dharma Master Heng Sure …

    First of all I am very grateful to DM Heng Sure for being here in Malaysia recently to give and share the Buddha Dharma with all of us during the recent 5th Buddhist Conference at Bandar Sunway, Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Dharma Master, you have given the most precious gem to all of us at the conference, that is the name of the Buddha … NAMO AMITUOFO …AMITUOFO…. with this name planted in our consciousness will in the future will bring great benefit to all of us here at the conference. No doubt some of the participants were never heard of this name, or never knew this dharma door of reciting,…

  • Seeking for Good Deeds

    My sister took her own life 4 1/2 years ago. I heard from the Mahayana nuns that people who took their own life will definitely go to hell and have to suffer for a long time. These people will require to receive a lot of good deeds in order to pull themselves up to the top. My sister used to make donations to some charitable organisations. In order to help my sister, I continue the act for her and trying my best to make donations within my means. I hope by doing so, she will not have to suffer and can quickly move on her life to another world. Am…

  • if you can help others today, why wait?

    OMIYTOFO. Thank you very much Rev Heng Sure for all the touching moments i got from the conference. Well, let’s start. I love writing. I always write down what i see or been through and the feelings and thoughts associated with it and send it out to all my family and friends via email. These emails often carry an inspiring message or simply some valuable life experiences that not everyone has the opportunity to experience (e.g. conversations i had with my teacher just the moment before he passed away). Thanks to Dharma, I have a very positive personality and am very resilient. Therefore, I have a lot of friends turning…

  • Reaching Out To Help

    I recall an incident about three years ago when one of my College mates sank into a state of depression over a relationship problem. One afternoon I had a strange feeling that this college mate was about to take her own life. Together with a few friends,we rushed over to her flat. We forced our way into her room when there was no response to our calls and knocks at her door. We found her unconscious on her bed and there were some pills around her. We knew that she had attempted to commit suicide. We immediately called for help and sent her to the hospital. With treatment, her life…

  • Promotion of Donation of Body or Organ

    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…

  • First contact with the Dharma.

    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…

  • A little help from a friend

    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!!

  • A Boy Named Chong Guan

    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…

  • Make friends by doing Dana

    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…

  • WONDERS OF FAITH

    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…
