On Sunday 11 January, devotees and parents were glad to attend a ‘welcoming’Induction programme after the morning session of meditation, Pūja and chanting. The 5-session programme aims to provide the essential knowledge on living in accordance with the Dhamma for the participants.
On Sunday 11 January, Bro. Tan gave a short but insightful sharing on respect. The Buddha had respect and reverence for the Dhamma. As we learn the Dhamma, we can realise the value of respect and its importance. Respect is shown through our conduct, speech, thoughts and attentiveness. Once we have the value of respect through much learning, all the spiritual qualities that result in joy and happiness arise in us. Hence, it is very important to have a learning attitude.
“Better left undone is the misdeed, one which later brings remorse. Better done is the good deed, one which having done brings joy.”
The Buddha
“Avoid all unwholesome deeds; cultivate goodness; purify one’s own mind – this is the teaching of all Buddhas.”
The Buddha
“Life should be great rather than long.”
Dr. B. R. Ambedkar
“One who is honest, sincere, steadfast, compliant, and well-concentrated, makes progress in the Dhamma.”
The Buddha
“One of good will, ever mindful, inwardly well-concentrated, training to remove longing, is said to be heedful.”
The Buddha
“Training in what is conducive to serenity of mind and always mindful, they call such a bhikkhu one constantly resolute.”
The Buddha
“Two conditions lead to the arising of Right Views – the utterance of another person, and careful attention.”
The Buddha
“Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending.”
Maria Robinson
“Heedfulness leads to great good. Heedlessness leads to great harm.”
The Buddha
“Two kinds of persons are rare in this world – one who takes initiative in helping others; and one who is grateful and thankful.”
The Buddha
