到底要怎样？

佛学会是我成长，教我快乐，慈悲的地方....可是看着佛学会一点一点的走下坡，心中好痛啊！很想帮助佛学会提起来，可是却不知如何开始......我不想被人说我在搞问题，也不想给我的学弟压力....说了我的感想就会引起这种问题，所以我不敢说......到底要如何做才能帮助佛学会？？

唉.....智慧不足，能力也不足，可以如何才能帮助佛学会？？真的是如印顺导师说的：“耻有所不知，耻有所不能，耻有所不净 ” 惭愧自己不够智慧，也能力有限，性格也不是很有影响力，所以才不知要怎么开始....万事起头难，只要找到方式开始，相信就能突破今天的局面.....

如果佛学会就这样倒了，Uniten 就会失去一个让大专生学习佛法的平台，就会很多人没有了这个机会听闻佛法，从而让自己过得更快乐....所以为了让佛学会能够延续下去，佛法能够帮助更多的人。“不忍众生苦，不忍圣教衰 ”
发愿吧！！愿佛学会能够延续下去，让更多人离苦得乐....sadhu sadhu sadhu!!!

Pusat Jagaan Beribuan Kasih^^

On Christmas night we go to the Pusat Jagaan Beribuan Kasih in Kajang...it is a care center for anyone that was abandoned or simply no where to go, from old to young....UBF is planning to have a special christmas with this bunch of people....of course first I was scared to approach them...but then what the hell, just do it hehe^^

Thanks to the bunch of friendly kids that make me feel accepted there, I was their friend and they are mine....I met a girl named Nicole...she was only 15 when she was put there a few weeks ago by her parent...but I found that she never hated her life or blaming everything or think the world is no good, instead she have a dream...a dream of becoming a cook...she a special cook with creative talent...she can make a meat ball using small piece of meat, bread n milk(brilliant n creative....I hope i can learn her cooking)....she told me a lot of story that most people here experienced brutality and harshness of life...well long story so no need say too much(I also very lazy hehe^^)

There are one moment where she wrote her thank you notes to Sean(I happen to peep haha)....she wrote:" Thank you for giving this poor kids a very happy christmas and thank you for making me happy for the day." I was so touched by her words....i am speechless....I understand that they don't need our money donation or sponsor...instead what they truly need is our love, our care n our encouragement...it is truly simple but most of us will always forget that...what they desire is not all those paper given by people to them but instead their connection to society...that their heart desire....I will never forget tonight where Nicole n all the kids and old folks there have lighten my heart...my fire for compasion....nobody is born good or bad, it is just who u choose to be....

I will always remember the moment where I passed the christmas present to a little kid of 7 years old...he was closing his eyes...but when I touched n presented the present to him...I make a connection...he look me straight into my eyes n say:"Merry Christmas!" I was so touched that I hug him and say Merry Christmas to him....in my heart I was wishing all of them at the center to be happy always n to have their dreams come true....if I ever have chance to go there again...no matter UBF activity, my own accord, friends activities, my transport....whatever the reason I will revisit there whenever I have the chance...because I will never forget the place that lit up my heart....thank you so much...Pusat Jagaan Beribuan Kasih!!!

I will come back n I will try my best to lit up other people heart just like how u lit up heart....let us do this together n in the end we will light up the world!!!!

Together

"When we are together, we are family"

I like this statement from movie 2012 so much....when we are together, we are one big family no matter who are with....family, friends, organization, etc...so we should all just appreciate the time that we will spend with one another before it gone....enjoy every moment with family n friends...u never know when is the last time we are together....so cherish what u have n enjoy your life...^^

认识自己

你是谁？我不知道要如何答这个问题...发现我们所认识的自己都不是真正的自己，只是朋友告诉我们的自己，可是我很多时候都是会把最好的一面表现在大家面前而把不好的一面盖起来...可是学佛却要认识真正的自己...有多少人能够接受自己是一个不完美的人，我也不是一个很完美的人，我也有我的弱点，我的习惯，我不好的一面，不好的想法...
通明师父说：“只要认识到自己，就必须要接受自己是一个这样的人，只有接受才会改变！”

所以一定要认识自己，接受，改变，然后放下....学佛就是要我们变成一个更好更快乐的人，就佛陀一样....佛法其实不难，因为它就是生活嘛！！可是我们毕竟是一个凡人，也会有陷入困难或难关的，我们有我们的执著，所以法侣是一个帮助我们度过难关，帮我们变成好的人...可以完全接受我们，真心诚意帮助我们的人....然后当我们成功改变自己的时候，就是我们去帮助别人的时候了！

一个朋友说过：“只有先把自己心中的那盏灯照亮，才能照亮别人心中的那盏灯！”

只有帮助自己的人，才能够帮助别人....可是不要小看别人给你的小小的灯，因为那都是给我们力量去面对与成长的最重要的....所以请打开我们的心房，让别人的灯光可以照亮我们的心，而我们也把最真诚的心来照亮别人的心房！！

这是我在刚刚结束的年度生活营所启发到的一些小小分享，愿这个分享能够延续大家心中的那盏灯，那盏可以照亮一切的灯！

Hoeh Beng Temple Trip

Today I went to Hoeh Beng Temple with UBF to visit Reverend Chuan Wen...the trip is very inspiring for me...the reverend share that learning Buddhism is not only practice by ourself but it is best to practice it in people...we will never learn of our strength and weakness if we did not interact with people...I found that it is very true...I learn a lot when I was interacting with groups...only by interaction that I was be able to learn that I still have a lot of problems and habits that should be change...for example I learn that I will be unhappy or sometime angry when others cannot achieve what I anticipated...I tend blame others for their imcopetance or weakness but I forget that the one that have problem is me...and me alone...only through interaction with people that I understand I am not so perfect as my heart will go up and down when interacting with outside world...its good that we have iniative to learn Buddhism by ourself...but it also important to go outside to meet people....it not only can it helps you to realise your strenght and weakness...but also present a chance for sharing of Dhamma to others...only through people that we will able to help others...to share and help whenever needed...also it give us opportunity to train our heart...just like Reverend said before:" Only through interaction with people that we will be able to practice and train our heart to be more and more like Buddha."

So enjoy interaction with people....share whatever you can...give a helping hand whenever the chances appear to you...train your heart and learn to change your habits....only through this that we can be closer to the Buddha....go down the path of a boddhisatta...you will never regret it....I know I won't regret whenever I can share Dhamma or my experience and give a helping hand to others....I know that I still lacks a lots compared to the Buddha...so lets us walk this road together kalyana mitra...let us learn and grow together!!! ^^

Why???

Why everyone has different thought n opinion?? Why they never listen to others?? Why they have to force their thoughts against other?? Why?? Why? Why?

Most importantly why the Dhamma is not hard to understand by others, but few are able to practice it?? Is it so hard?? Would that means that Dhamma had not gone into ur heart?? I noe most of us has great understanding of Dhamma but is it so hard to practice it in our daily life??

Wahaha....I summarize all my fustration n question in my mind into simple words....I think most people will not understand(not so good in writing)....haha..^^

PS: Sorry Raymond, another post that u won't understand again...hehe^^

一时的感动！

今天的静坐班有点不一样，分享了学长格成的一篇文章，写了他从中学到他遇到佛学会的一些经历....心中对这篇文章有一点的感触....它让我想起了以前第一次接触佛学会的感觉....该谢谢我的一个学长 Kim Wee 给了我一个机会去接触佛学会....当时一踏出房门决定没想到就将会改写我在Uniten的一生.....当时只是单纯的就去了佛学班...当时那里我没有朋友，可是个个像认识的，搞到我不敢做什么，那时Jeffrey就来和我聊天，让我不会在那里呆呆的^^ 接着看到传芳一进来就拜佛，那时只是看着他，不敢问他在做什么....那时就是那么的单纯，对每一件事都感到很新鲜，想知道这，向学习那，就是什么都想要知道.....那天佛学班就只记得一句话：“学佛就是要让我们的生活变得更快乐！” 我就已经认定这就是我要的，我要知道佛教是什么？什么才能快乐？那天就因为我的一个决定让我在佛学会里一直呆下去的动力....^^

今天晚上让我再想起了我当初为什么要学佛....很多时候我们都会因为做多了，懂多了，就会忘记了当初的一颗单纯的心....所以才会没有了动力，没有了感动.....可能最重要的是还是一颗心，心麻木了就会没有了动力，也很难感动了，所以最重要的记得我们当初学佛的心呀！！想想自己也在这个道路上走了蛮长一段时间，从一直不断学习到付出做理事到现在退休变普通会员（hehe^^) 心里的成长也一直改变，从想知道更多到学习付出到现在想要帮助别人...其实现在才知道想帮助别人是很有挑战性的，分享就变成很重要了，可是虽然能够随时随机分享及布施，但是还是不能在大众面前分享....害怕吧....怕误导大众也怕自己没有这个能力....看来我还需多多努力呢！！
