YB. R.S.N RAYER - A.D.U.N. SERI DELIMA, PENANG

I was honored to be invited to join the WESAK DAY celebrations at the Jalan Gangsa Residents Association, organized by The Malaysian Fo Guang. I urge the association to organize more events of this nature to increase and inculcate religious awareness amongst Malaysians in general and children in particular.

I believe that events of this nature would instill spirit of fostering and enhancing stronger neighbourhood ties while also exposing children to co-curricular activities such as drawing, singing.

Relating oneself to events like Wesak Day celebration would enable us to remind ourselves of the spiritual aspects of our lives, when we seem to get carried away by finance, technology and many more aspects which takes up most of our daily affairs.

I also took this opportunity to request and remind those present, to observe a minute of silence’ and pray for the victims of the earthquake in China.

Last but not least, I savored the vegetarian food which reminded me of the need to maintain a healthy and hygienic lifestyle, in the path of DHARMA.

OMI TO FU...
