In response to Zeezee's question:
hey eternal, i a 21 young man. i wish to know join free talks and sharing sessions in temples or places alike, learn more about buddhist teachings and maybe help out in volunteer work. any recommendations? thanks~
Hi Zeezee, glad more young people like me (i'm 19 hehe) interested in Buddhism... The dharma center I attend is at No. 30 Geylang Lorong 27 Citiraya Centre #05-01, across Aljunied MRT Station. We have activities on Saturday nights 7.30 to 10 p.m almost every week.
This saturday there isn't talks but only singing and chanting. Next saturday there will be dharma sharing by our students (mostly about their experiences of coming into buddhism, how they have been transformed etc). 7th Nov there wont be activities as they might be attending the great compassionate repentance (a puja).
On 14th Nov and 21th Nov our dharma teacher will be giving dharma talks (titled '既得人身当修行' and '谈"心"的作用' respectively) on very important dharma topics which I would highly recommending coming. We will also be playing a dharma talk by our Taiwanese teacher (our Master's successor) on 5th December titled '建立修行的�件', then another talk by our local dharma teacher on 12th December (什么是人乘佛教).
Oh and... you can take home our dharma cds and books found on the shelves. Most are in Chinese (it is easy to read and understandable and if you don't like reading there's always CDs) but there are a few books in English and many English magazines also. Almost all of them are free for distribution (except a few 'imported' from Taiwan, those published in Singapore are free).
Our local dharma center website: http://www.humanbliss.com.sg/ (newly revamped and many good articles)
English one: http://www.jenchen.org.sg
Thanks~ think i'll be coming down nxt sat for the sharing session. evryth start 7.30 pm end 10pm rite? got day activities during wkends or not?
Yep.
Day activities... I'm not aware of. We try to put adult, youth, and children classes all at the same time.
Hi Zeezee, sent you a PM.
p.s. a note to forummers: I just noticed something funny. Someone else created an account An_Eternal Now (http://buddhism.sgforums.com/users/262128), I was staring at the online users list and was shocked to see my name listed twice... until I realised the underscore a while later.
