Hey my dear Moggallanas! This is what I have received from ZhenFeng. Please read it and ensure that we have a successful CIP trip. :) Our objective for this trip is to spread happiness to our dearest elderly. :)


Please cooperate with the Events Organisor.

Good day fellow SBMY members, On 10th Feb 2007, we will be having our first major community service event. It will be to service the 1-room flat households for elderies. For your information, we had 2 community service event last year at a moral home and Ren-Ci hospital and members who were at the events have certainly gained some wonderful experience. Lets carry on to the main event. The objectives of this event are - spring-cleaning for the household - Bringing joy and laughter by interacting with the elderies living in the house - Presenting to them goodies pack for CNY As mentioned, spring-cleaning is to
clean and tidy up the entire house for the eldery.

Do take note that we are invited there to help out because the eldery have difficulities in doing those chores. Thus the environment in the house might not be what you expect, or might even turn out worse than what you initially thought. Do bring along an benevolent heart and do not mind the 'mess' that you might encounter but take that as a strong point to be more inspired to help them up. Remember to help them wash the toilets as well! :) We do not exactly know the character of the eldery. Thus it is advisable to carry out conversations and actions cautiously. for instance, when you want to move a table away from its original place, kindly ask for permission. These small gestures might means alot to them. do take note of the tone of your voice and the content of your dialogues. Do not ask them about sensetive issues like 'when your husband pass away' etc etc. you wouldn't want a tearful end to your conversations with them. you job is to interact, and make their day.

Strive on fellas! Goodie packs will be distributed to each household as a New year present. Remember to utter some auspcious stuff while presenting it to them! Lets all do out part in helping the others; in this case the elderies in their 1-room flat. Spread the compassion and kindness in you that will ultimately bring some simple joy to the elderies at the end of the day. SADhu to you :) see you all on saturday.Place to meet will be at SBM!!! Time TBC ( to be confirm )More details will be sent again... Brief guides for Mentors going for #01-2007 Community service!!! CAHF...... ( Come And Have Fun )

1000 years later, our bond would still remain unchanged; our heart will still beat as one..

We wholeheartedly take refuge in the Buddha and respect the Buddha as our teacher.
We wholeheartedly take refuge in the Dharma and pratice the Noble teaching
We whole heartedly take refuge in the Sangha and accept the guidance of the Sangha
We pledge to cultivate kindenss, to keep right speech and to do good deeds
With the blessing of the Triple Gem,
May our wisdom grow for the betterment of our conduct and study.
May our deeds be filled with loving kindness and compassion
May all beings attain the State of Calmness,Peace, Prosperity and Happiness.
Sadhu, Sadhu, Sadhu.
