Talented artist Lili Ng joins Kechara Saraswati Arts

Dear Rinpoche,

Today is Lili Ng 1st day working in Kechara Saraswati Arts (KSA). I gave her a Tsongkhapa box set.

Thanks.
Paul

Lili Ng is a very talented and skilled artist who has volunteered at KSA for quite a while now. She has not only restored my personal Kyabje Zong Rinpoche's statue, she also made a beautiful clay Amitabha statue recently.

She loves the Dharma and this can be seen in her effort of producing a Lamrim mind map with Thierry.

I rejoice that Lili can utilise her artistic skills to benefit others through her Dharma work in Kechara Saraswati Arts.

I welcome her to our Kechara Family very much. I wish Lili to use her talents to bring benefits to others. Spiritualism through art is the motto of Kechara Saraswati Arts Dept.

Philip Morris Malaysia staff participated in KSK rounds

27 employees (pic below) from Philip Morris Malaysia taking part in today's Kechara Soup Kitchen's rounds. In total we have 58 volunteers.

 

More and more big corporations are interested in Kechara Soup Kitchen's cause - community action group that distributes food, basic medical aid and counselling to the homeless and urban poor of Kuala Lumpur. I am very glad that volunteers from various ethnic, religious, and cultural background come together and volunteer their free time during the weekends to provide food and warmth to the less fortunate. 

It doesn't matter what background you are from as it is important to take tangible steps to relieve any type of sufferings from others. When we do nothing for others and only for ourselves, this is not a natural state of being. This is not the natural way that our minds functions to develop true happiness. It is a cliche, but the more we do for others,the more we do for ourselves.

Observe people who only think of themselves and their whole focus is themselves. Their energy is unpleasant, you don't feel comfortable around them. You do not enjoy long extended visits with them. You in fact think or suspect what they might want to use you for. When your around people who are giving, kind, caring and also do tangible things for others, we are automatically comfortable with them. We are inpsired by them and perhaps moved to tears. These people make us think and reflect deeper into our selfishness and laziness. If we do not like staying around self-absorbed people, and we feel unhappy with them, do you think they ultimately feel happy with themselves?
