14 May 2020 – An afternoon full of Positivity!
Today’s programme “Rise And Be Triumphant – Gratitude” rounded up 563 participants online, including: Venerable RuQuan, participants, the organising committee and the technical support team. The theme “Gratitude” encompasses 3 significant events in May & June: Vesak Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day.
The significance of the programme was further enhanced with Venerable RuQuan and Lecturer Boon explaining to us the wonderful benefits of singing Insightful Praises.
This was powerfully complemented by the personal experience sharing from Arts and Culture members: 吴俐珠，邱明洁 and 蔡素香. They like the many Arts and Culture members have continued to diligently practice Insightful Praises during the Circuit Breaker period and reaped great benefits from them!
Like a foundation anchoring the tenacity of the practitioner's Bodhi path till the destination of enlightenment. The Insightful Praises featured today were: You Are By My Side, 曾记否, 莲花喻赞2, 般若波罗蜜多心经, 花开月圆 and 月光下. Through the lyrics, rhythm and tune of the hymns, one could greatly feel the love of our parents, teachers, Bodhisattvas and Buddhas being showered upon us.
Like the cream of the cake, this session has been graced by the blessings of many full-time staff members and senior leaders of BW Monastery.
First, we had a youthful sprinkle of fun! 3 lovely ladies from BWM Youth Division were our hosts for the online program. They prepared fun quizzes and polls to engage the audience! With their zest and liveliness, much joy was injected to the afternoon.
Also, the BW Monastery Sangha and lay disciple team in the Vesak Day MV gathered to make fervent supplication and offerings through the Insightful Praise of 莲花喻赞2. It was a very touching and heart-warming moment to experience the collective aspirations of all Master Tsong Kha Pa’s disciples progressing on the Mahayana path!
The afternoon was beautifully wrapped up under the lead of our Arts and Culture's Director, Ms. Irene Lee, to pay tribute and send well wishes to the frontline medical health workers and those affected by Covid-19.
Catch this positivity boost again in June! Let’s sail the rough seas and evolve triumphant by upholding the spirit of Insightful Praises altogether!
