Editor's Note

Dearest Brothers and Sisters of the Dhamma,

" May you be well and happy."

As this is the first issue of Ehipassiko for the term 1997/98, we, the Editorial Board really need your support and help. We hope that you'll kindly contribute some articles to us. If you have any comments, please write to us so that will know our weaknesses. With your support, I hope that there will be improvement in the next issue.

I would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Editorial Board members and the Exco members for their assistance. Without their hand, this issue of Ehipassiko would not be successful. Special thanks to Miss Khaw and Mr. Lai for their enlightening advice, guidance and compassion.

Lastly, I would like to wish all of you good luck in your coming exams and in your future undertakings. Don't ever forget to practise the Dhamma. "Protect the Dhamma and the Dhamma will protect you."

With Metta,
Teh Yih Sien
October 1997
