Dhamma Sharing Class 2005/06

3.Dana

Dana, the third sharing class with Bro Wong Ting Song. We kick off with singing session “My Beautiful Friend” by I-GEMS (OK, there are not there) leading by Sis BMF

We had fun…
We had joy…
We did enjoy…

Then, sharing session start with Puja and introduction for Bro Wong.
Dana… means GIVING but actually we MUST learn the art of giving and receiving too.
We not only must GIVE, Give, give
We only not must RECEIVE, Receive, receive
But we must GIVE and RECEIVE too.
That why, learning and understand the art of Giving and Receiving is IMPORTANT!

Of course, ada macam-macam type of DANA

Dana to Sangha (food, vihara…)
Dana to poor people (money, time, service…)
Dana to disaster victim (tsunami, eartquake…)
Dana to family (loving, gratitude…)
Dana to society (civil minded, appreciation…)

Banyak lah, can not list all

The message; Try to do good eg like DANA to create a better community in these world.

The verdict: Days by days, cultivate this art of giving and receiving in our daily life. Do you know that this is the last Parami that Buddha cultivates? Check the great disciples of Ajahn Chah (By WAVE publication) One of his student talks about DANA
