An inspiring movie to save Mother Earth
Today I watch an inspring movie on You tube.I feel very touched and moved by the video.
Please spare 1 hour 30 minutes of your time to watch this video because it contains important messages that is going to shape our future!!! Most of us have forgotten how much the Earth have supported us and we starts taking all the blessings for granted. The video starts by telling how life is first formed on earth and ends by urging us we all play a role to make our HOME a sustainable place to support our living.
As a habitant on Earth,I feel obliged to share the movie link to you here:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jqxENMKaeCU
Just copy the URL link and paste it to your browser to watch the movie.
Besides,you can also search this movie with its title:"HOME (English with subtitles)" on You tube.
We are living in exceptional times. Scientists tell us that we have 10 years to change the way we live, avert the depletion of natural resources and the catastrophic evolution of the Earth's climate.
The stakes are high for us and our children.Everyone should take part in the effort because we are one family and we share a common HOME-the Earth!Every species on Earth are closely related to one another to support one another in the ecosystem.It is a crucial time for us to come together to save our Mother Earth, our HOME from depletion of resources and global warming.We can start doing our bits by practicing recycling, car pooling, reducing the usage of plastic bags...in our daily life.The future of Mother Earth lies in our hands.
A contemplation towards selflessness
"Sometimes things do not turn out like what we have expected,
but I will choose to give my best to achieve what I have targeted....
even if I fail to achieve the target at the end,
I have no regrets and disppointment."
I met with a friend recently. He started to tell me all his unsatisfaction for all his bad fortunes. This is why I contemplate for some time and share my views here.
Some people are unhappy because they do not dedicate themselves towards selflessness. Selflessness in serving the family,selflessness in serving the society and so on...They hope their effort to be known and kindly repay. At the end, when things go against their expectations, they become very disappointed and therefore fulled of complaints!This is where they started to blame others for the outcomes.This is the actual cause that are causing all their unhappiness.
There is only one way if you want to find real happiness and peace in your life-dedicate wholeheartedly to selflessness. Instead of thinking what can the others do for me,what can I really do for the good of others?

HURRAY! My offer letter arrived!
I woke up quite late this morning because "stoleing chicken" (surfing the net until late at night)yesterday. Chewing a piece of "roti canai" as my breakfast, I felt emotionless and tired.This few days I did not have enough sleep because the heart is longing for my USM offer letter to come...The longing is terrible...The registration day is getting closer and closer.The offer letter is important because the letter contains information which tells the students to prepare what kind of documents on registration day.I cannot be rushing everything out like mad before registration day...
"Why Mr Postman still haven't come with my offer letter...?"
As I am still wondering with these thoughts,I heard a familiar motorbike sound outside my house gate.There comes the noble Mr Postman!
I ran outside the house to the front gate like a wild stallion...
"Mr Postman, do you have my letter?"I said anxiously.
"Here you are!"the postman smiled,handling over a parcel from USM to me.
Overjoyed, I thanked the postman and ran back into my house to open the parcel.
I was so delighted to see my offer letter and a manual book inside the parcel.
HURRAY,I am so happy because I am going to the university next week!
Finally all my hard work and sleepless night during form 6 paid off.This offer letter meant a lot to me. I should thank my parents, teachers and friends for their support. Now it is the time to begin a new journey of my life.^^

Mother Teresa Quotes
This morning I read about an uplifting quote of Mother Teresa posted by my friend in facebook.Loving-kindness is boundless and transcends space and time.I am inspired by the article and hope to share with you here:
Mother Teresa Quotes
"People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have,
and it may never be enough;
Give the world the best you've got anyway.
You see, in the final analysis,
it is between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway"
Song of Guidance
"Due to Diligence and passion,
there is no idleness;
Due to a Big Heart, there is no miserliness;
Due to Wisdom and Compassion,
there is no foolishness;
Due to Respect for the practitioners,
there is deep faith in truth and affinity."
Last Tuesday,I felt a strong will to go to visit my Dharma teacher,Master Fa Hang. I have been attending Master's Dharma talk when I was studying in school and participating in Buddhist society.I did went to the temple to meet her with a few dumplings I bought from the market.
Master Fa Hang was so delighted to see me coming to visit her...
Master asked me:"Where you've been?You are like an ash,disappearing from the world because I have not heard of your news for a couple of months after you graduated from school."
I apologised and replied :"Master,I'm quite busy and lost this couple of months.I managed to get a part-time job and keep on working...and working. After I went back home,I felt tired and sleep...thats my lifestyle for this couple of months...work,eat and sleep."
Master smiled and said,"No matter how busy you are,remember to take the Dharma with you. Always reflect on yourself and cultivate goodness."
I nodded and asked Master the reason why I'm feeling urgent to meet her since yesterday."Because I'm thinking of you recently,"Master answered...
I laughed and agreed. Master is quite overjoyed when I told her that I am going to further my studies in USM,Penang soon...
Before I left, I bowed and waved goodbye to Master,promising that I will come back to visit her again soon.
The coming across of Dharma has changed my life. Master are always there to guide and advise me to change for the better when I first joined the Buddhist Society in school two years ago.
I am grateful to meet a great mentor and teacher in my life...^^

A Dream
Yesterday,I dreamed I was in a haunted house...Horrified,I ran for my life. Unfortunately,there is no door in that haunted house. There is no way out of that horrifying place...The fear is so immense...
I wake up from my dream with chills and sweats all over my body...
Allowing myself to calm a bit,I said to myself in relief: It was just a DREAM!next time I have the same dream,I will not be so terrified because I know it is unreal...The only way out of a haunted house is not holding on the conditions and freeing our heart from fear!
