This blog is dedicated to all who wish to participate in the discussion on life's worldly vicissitudes. Most of the comments are related to questions posted to me through one of the Buddhist web sites over the past years.
Practical comments on interesting questions in the Buddhist perspective. Interested? Come and See.
All of us are different on the outside. But latently hidden deep
inside us we carry with us this feeling of "wanting to be good and to do
good for all humanity". Most will not be able to bring out this
feeling into actualization; but some will. I am one of the latter.
You too can achieve this if you allow that latent "feeling" to become a
"Calling". To stir up this "Calling", you need to be inspired and
guided by a group of dedicated people with great motivation. Tzu Chi
is one of those platforms. You too can join, irrespective of your
religion, as long as you believe in pure goodness without boundary.
Tzu Chi Penang now has English-speaking groups and I am in one of them.
You are most welcome to join us to be inspired into actions together!
This video has finally cleared my doubts as to how the nuns of the
Jing Si Dharma lineage of Master Cheng Yen could practise and uphold the
principle of "No work no meal" since their very humble beginning.
Master Cheng Yen is the founder of Tzu Chi Organization. Master Cheng
Yen and her nuns uphold the vow of "No work no meal" principle, meaning
they do not rely on donations for their livelihood. They work to
produce products for sale, and they use their sales proceeds to maintain their livelihood.
This video also convinced me that Tzu Chi's food products are worth
purchasing and consuming. For me these are the four reasons. First,
they are produced with the most stringent hygienic standards with the
best natural quality ingredients. Second, they are produced with love.
Third, I contribute to support the welfare of the nuns, a most
wholesome charitable act. Fourth, they are value for money.
