Dharma Class @ 13/5/18

There is only one Dharma Class for Jing Han in May 18 and it happens today is also a Mother's Day. After the class finished, when asked her what she has learnt in the class, she said teacher told them not to be a naughty children and asked them to write down what are the things that crossed their mind to be bad things that they should not do....here is what she has wrote on the paper teacher gave them.....

Teacher said the bad things have to write in a white paper... 😁😁

And these 2 angels will like children who do good things...so good things should be written on the back of this green paper...

😃😃 She truly understand what is wrong and what is right and she remember well what I use to tell her when she do revision for her school works. However, she also explained to me sometimes she hit back sister because Jing Xuan hit her and bullied her :) :)

Glad that she learnt something from Dharma Class.

Vesak Day - Grand Day for Wife

It's Vesak Day and also a great day for wife. She would join the grand ceremony organized by Shah Alam Buddhist Society for Buddhism conversion (皈依佛教). Meaning she has to observe the 5 strict Buddha teaching rules. In a simple and layman words, these rules are :

1. No killing (不殺生)
2. No stealing (不偷盜)
3. No lying (不妄語)
4. No improper sexual conduct (不邪淫)
5. No intoxicated drinks (不飲酒)

Look simple ? No, not many can do these.

The other question some people may ask ? If I don't covert, does that mean I am not a Buddhist. The answer is Yes. Many do not like the answer but it's true. Conversion is to show that one believes in Buddhism, if he or she doe not convert to this ritual and only just worship, burning incense, these people are not a true Buddhists, they can only be regarded as person who respect Buddha.

So, does that mean a converted Buddhist has to be a vegetarian for whole life ? Not really. No killing in fact is to cultivate people to have a mercy heart as Buddha believes every living things in the universe is equal and all are deserved a life to live. Many people has a wrong perception about this.

There are a lot of things to learn from Buddha's teaching and all are teaching people to be kind.

Question, have I converted since my wife already done today ? Of course I am a converted Buddhist but not in Malaysia, it was in New Zealand. :) :)
