Be the living expression of God's kindness; kindness in your face, kindness in your eyes, kindness in your smile." ----(By Mother Teresa 1910-1997) Founder, Missionaries of Charity Reflection: I like this quote very much!! But I think...God or Buddha...it doesn't really matter...all from one heart of kindness and true compassion. Long live compassion!!

May we not become slave of money, wealth, fame and power. Instead, may we know how to use the money to do more for others and not for our own and selfish enjoyment. For us, more $$$ might meant greater comfort, bigger cars,nicer clothings etc...but for many MONEY $$ equals LIFE. BIG PLAN AHEAD: I would like to gather people from all around the world To save up $$ and pull together funds to Help those who need it the most: (1)Hunger kids throughout the world/ freeing people from suffering (2)Helping those people who's suffering from drought, and natural disasters. (3)Building schools that teaches essential living skills, the concept of compassion, filial piety and attain true happiness by discovering the art of living. (4)Building a senior home that provides not only housing and care but also with a good library and facilities to help people in cultivating happiness, with a mental support. This is my own little dream....I know it takes effort and a long time to succeed. I also know I can't achieve this solely by myself. So I need to gather more people and friends who have the same dream and direction....I need people and friends around the world who can make this dream come true. If this is possible, and in every spot on earth has this later station that answer to those people who's suffering...wouldn't that be great!! Please tell your friends...let's get together...tell me your dreams...if we happen to walk the same path...why not pull our compassion and heart together...to make history...to help more people..!!! Thank you so much!! To contact me, please email meichin02@hotmail.com NO JUNK MAIL Please!!! I'm serious about all this, please take it seriously...please do not waste your own time sending me junk mails. To achieve true happiness is reflected by utilizing your true heart and true compassion. Thank you! SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH YOU: I discover there's actually one such organization that is doing most of the things that I've mentioned for more than 35 years, since 1966. It all started in Taiwan, by Master Cheng Yen, a Buddhist nun from Taiwan. Now, this Tzu Chi Foundation, has its four major missions of Charity, Medicine, Education, and Culture, this organization has built hospitals, schools, and helped millions of people in need throughout the world, and it does not propagate or teach religion. It teaches the art of living..... "morality", "love", "compassion" and "filial piety". It teaches the art of Happiness, to purify one's heart and mind with compassion, and wisdom to live this life meaningfully. I believe all religion have one thing in common, they all teaches the very same thing "LOVE" and "COMPASSION". One thing I like about this organization is that lots of people are working together..whether they are Buddhist, Christian or believers of other faith. So the money that comes to TZU CHI are from believers who believes in compassion, love and who really treasure and care about life. Master Cheng Yen was awarded the Eisenhower Medallion for her contribution to world peace, and was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She is definitely one of the many great bodhisattvas and a great teacher of great compassion. This is the only one of the many organizations I know, in which 100% of the donations directly go to the people in need..not a single cent is given to cover any administration cost...isn't that great and fantastic!!! If you're interested in either being a volunteer or participate in this great movement and would like to know more about this organization, you can visit this website at: [English][Mandarin] For more information on other organization that's doing great work out there, please click this link Charity Site The more I learn in depth about buddhism..the more I discover, cultivation of our heart is essential, it not only heighten up one's morality and compassion...is the greatest teaching of great wisdom, and a true way of great liberation and great peace and happiness. May all of you have a chance to taste this dew from the dharma or buddha's teaching. Buddha's teaching is not a religion, is a teaching of great compassion and great wisdom!!!

You're all great friends and teachers that have taught me lots about life; May happiness and good health be with you always!!! lots of metta (Sankrit word for loving kindness)---Mei Chin. |
