四川地震

前几天在报章读到一则新闻,说拯救行动的成功率将越来越小,几乎是零。 听了好心寒,因为我们深深知道还有好多人还被埋在废堆里。不过今天新闻报道拯救队伍成功救出一名生还者,令我高兴又感动。试想想,五月十二日至今,已经八天了,能够生存下来,是多么不可思议的事。虽让希望越来越渺茫,但我祈祷下一刻仍会发生奇迹。

对于侥幸生存下来的生还者,或许身边的亲友已不再身旁,痛苦万分,但我希望他们能活得更坚强,。。。

活佛师尊said:
"When heaven reduces my fortune, I will respond to my loss by establishing greater virtues.
When heaven exhausts my heart, I shall return such fatigue, by bearing a carefree mind.
When heaven makes my fate difficult, I shall make it smoother by practising good deeds.
When heaven brings me hard times, I shall make my life joyful by enjoying the presence of Dao."

No matter what has happened in our life, we should cherish all the opportunities we are given to open up a new life. This is what is meant by establishing a true purpose in life.

Kat,

Sorry to ask you, are you a christian or buddist ?

Life is so fragile.
Today you are here,tomorrow you maybe not. That why we must cherish our life...hahaha

Blessing to those who are alive in the earthquake.Life will be tough for those who lost their love ones.

Kat,

其实我们也做不了什么,只能默默的为灾民祈祷而已!

真的很佩服那些被埋了超过 180 个小时,但是还是没事的灾民,从电视新闻知道他们没事,真的感到很欣慰!

Hi Anthony,

I'm not a christian nor a buddhist, I'm 'in' 天道 (Dao)... :-)

Ya, life is so fragile. One day you heard about Myanmar Cyclone, and the next you heard about Si Chuan Earthquake... Thousands and thousands of lives are lost just like that. That's why we should always treasure the present moment for we do not know what will happen next...


Hi Nicole,
You're right, there's nothing much we can help and we can only pray for the best for them. I'm glad alot of countries are chipping in to help the needy and I'm also happy to hear that Singapore is coming up with a charity show this Sunday @ 7pm (Ch 8) to raise funds for China. You must remember to tune in and donate, ok? hee...

Kat,

This means you go to “天国”in pongol ?

Kat said...

Hi Anthony,

You meant the one which is beside a temple, right? I heard about that but I didn't go there... I went to this place at AMK to take my Dao lesson every Sat...

Anthony said...

Kat,

You when to your friends house in a housing estate to learn about "DAO" ?

Kat said...

Hi Anthony,

Yes, you're right... We've Dao speakers to share with us on topics about cultivation... I think there're some others who also learn Dao in housing estates, think quite common.
