Emotional Control Workshop

A famous Buddhist quote stated,

"What you think, you become."

The mind controls every action we take, every thoughts we have and everything we say. We are often the slaves of our mind. Every time our emotions goes wild, we tend to just follow what we feel like doing without considering the consequences. Is it wise to let our emotions control us, instead of we controlling our emotions, and later regret on what we've done during this emotional state? It's time we realize that we actually can do something about it.

This coming Wed, we're proud to have Sis Barbara Yen, an experienced social worker in various campaigns, currently an advisor and counsellor in the Buddhist Gem Fellowship Counselling Unit(Malaysia), to share with us her experience in this field.

Time : 8pm - 10pm
Date : 28/11/2007 (wednesday)
Venue : Foe CR1026
Topic : Emotional Control Workshop by Sis Barbara Yen.

See all of you there!!

Appreciation Talk

In many religions, we've always talked about appreciation. Appreciate your parents, appreciate your loved ones, appreciate your friends. Though, many of us know that we should have the sense of gratitude in ourselves, but we just don't know how to.

In Buddhism, we are often shared about the Dhamma idea of Eight Worldly Conditions (Gain/Loss, Fame/Ill-Fame, Praise/Blame, Happy/Sad). Our parents suffered from loss, sad, blame and so, just to exchange for our gain, fame, praise and of course happiness. Isn't it time we realize that we should do something in return too?

This week , MMUDSG(Dharma Sharing Group) is very honored to have the President of the Buddhist Missionary Society of Malaysia (BMSM) , Bro Ang Choo Hong to give us a talk related to appreciation. Come and get a share of the experiences and thoughts of one of the greatest Buddhist leaders who had, and still, contribute hands full to the Buddhist Community.
