Dhamma Sharing Class 2005/06

1.Why Buddhism?

Well, the sharing class start with getting to know and understand better (at least tahu-tahu sikit-sikit,OK lah) about Buddhism. The speaker, non other than our Grandpa Kar Pin (A final year student in medic, currently known as Dr. Low Kar Pin)

What type of Buddhist are you?

Food Buddhist? Eat vege, Eat vege & meat, Eat meat only

Social Buddhist? Love to sing, Pandai Bersosial, Knowing others, Trying to seek partners

Intellectual Buddhist? CD, Books, Sutta try to name it This person know everything from A to Z

Preacher Buddhist? keep telling everyone to convert to Buddhist

The categories can go on and on…

But the REAL message is NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF Buddhist are you, TRY to understand what Buddhism can offer to you first and then start to value it!

The verdict: As a Buddhist, we need all this categories actually. Why?
Sometimes we need to be Food Buddhist eg During Uposatha Day
Sometimes we need to be Social Buddhist eg For Fellowship
Sometimes we need to be Intellectual Buddhist eg We must have theory first than practical
Sometimes we need to be Preacher Buddhist eg After knowing this great “religion”, why not share it with people around us

We did sing a song “Ancient Path”. We shared together the meaning of this song (Of course we know the meaning deeper as we met Bro Tan Huat Chye before)

We did “play-play”, we used our own hands ONLY (to save budget lah)
