Malam Penghargaan (MP)

We just ended our Malam Penghargaan for PPB (Buddhist Soc. of USM). In the morning, we made 200 rolls of spring rolls for the supper.

It is to appreciate the contributions of the seniors, facis, exco members and members who kept this society running for the past 35 years in USM. PPB (Persatuan Pelajar Buddhist) was set up in 11 Nov 1971. At one time it was abolished because it was not registered under the Akta Universiti. But after the ups and downs, it is successfully established as a registered body since the 70s till today.

Among the highlights were: speeches,singing songs, sharing, games, SOM (sharing of merits) and eating!
Most of the sharing were done in Chinese language coz many are from chinese edu background. N evertheless, I more or less understood the rough idea of their thoughts. Some were quite touched by their own experiences and started sheding tears. Others we glad, thankful but everybody was happy.

As for me, being a member of the Upali English Dhamma Sharing Group, I am grateful to have 4 wonderful facis who guided me in learning the dhamma. Before this, I have not known much about Buddhism. My conception was that there is nothing much to learn just pray nia.
Anyway, we are going through the learning process every day. We learn, anaylse and accept what we think is rational. Its hard to predict what will happen in the future but we must be grateful for our past experiences that help us shape what we are today.
