China’s sacred Buddhist Mount Wutai inscribed on UNESCO’s World Heritage List

26 June 2009
The Mount Wutai (五台山），a sacred Buddhist mountain in China that has witnessed to centuries of Buddhist history was added Friday to UNESCO's World Heritage List during the 33rd session of the World Heritage Committee in Seville, Spain.

The site is in Wutai County, Xinzhou City in Shanxi Province, 230 kilometers from the provincial capital, Taiyuan City.

Mount Wutai, literally, the five terrace mountain, is the highest mountain in northern China and is remarkable for its morphology characterized by precipitous sides with five open treeless peaks. Temples have been built on the site since the 1st century AD to the early 20th century.

The cultural landscape numbers 53 monasteries and includes the East Main Hall of Foguang Temple, the highest surviving timber Building of the Tang Dynasty with life size clay sculptures. It also features the Ming Dynasty Shuxiang Temple with a huge complex of 500 statues representing Buddhist stories woven into three dimensional pictures of mountains and water.

Overall, the buildings on the site present a catalogue of the way Buddhist architecture developed and influenced palace building in China over more than one millennium.

Happiness quotes

Cheer yourself up by watching this peaceful video and reflect on the happiness quotes.

Smiling can make you happier, even if you fake it

"Frown and you frown alone, but smile and the whole world smiles with you."

"If in our daily life we can smile, if we can be peaceful and happy, not only we, but everyone will profit from it. If we really know how to live, what better way to start the day than with a smile? Our smile affirms our awareness and determination to live in peace and joy. The source of a true smile is an awakened mind." - Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh, Peace Is Every Step : The Path of Mindfulness in Everyday Life (1992)

A recent study demonstrated that our facial expression and posture triggered our related emotions. Hence, if you smile, lift your chin, and stand upright, you’ll feel happy and confident. If you frown, shrug, or slump, you’ll feel sad or angry. (source : "Emotional Consciousness" by PhD Lisa Feldman Barrett)

Putting your smile muscles to work during times of stress changes your outlook for a couple of reasons. First, the brain interprets this muscle movement to mean that you’re happy or contented. Even holding a pencil horizontally between your teeth is enough to approximate a smile, as far as your brain is concerned.

Second, your mood and perceptions of neutral events grow more positive simply from “acting” happy. Happy behavior isn’t likely to erase the trauma of a crisis, but it will encourage you to view mundane events from a more generous perspective. An upbeat posture and expression primes your brain to give others the benefit of the doubt or to see the “lighter side.”

Besides these advantages, the sheer absurdity of smiling in moments of duress breaks the problem-centered mindset of anxiety and anger. When you take yourself less seriously, you can be a little gentler with everyone else, too.

Try it out today and find out how much of an immediate physical difference smiling can cheer you up.

Ajahn Brahm showed correct path to business

Ajahn Brahmavamso was invited to give a talk on how managers can improve their ability by following the principles of Buddhism at the Sasin Graduate Institue of Business Administration, Thailand in May 2009. He said executives were successful not because of their IQ or intellectual capabilities, but because of their "EQ" [emotional quotient], or their ability to communicate and to make great friendships and networks. Here is the summary of his talk:

1. RELAX

Ajahn Brahm held up a glass of water at arm's length and asked his audience: "How heavy this glass?

"If I keep holding it for five minutes, it will appear to be quite heavy. In 10 minutes, I'll be in pain. If I hold it for half an hour, I'll be very stupid monk," he said, laughing.

Then he explained his point: it doesn't matter how much responsibility one has, a person becomes stressed if they hold on to duties for too long without taking a rest.

"It's the law of mind," the abbot said. "If your body needs to exercise, your mind becomes powerful through stillness. In business, you need to have a strong mind to compete, and to see what others don't see."

2. DON'T DWELL ON YOUR PAST FAILURES

Dwelling on past failures and assigning blame for mistakes caused a loss of morale. On the other hand, inspiration and encouragement can be found from recalling successes, and repeating them again for greater accomplishments.

"Success is taken for granted," he said. "That's why we are not happy

Ajarn Brahm said "Now" is the most important time but many people are too busy thinking about what's going to happen next.

He told a story that came originally from his Buddhist master Ajahn Chah Bodhinyana Mahathera.

"Once upon a time, there were two chicken farmers," he said. "Farmer No 1 got up early in the morning to go to his chicken shed to collect the chickens' s*** in a basket. Then he took it home, where it smelled so bad that everybody had to run away. Farmer No 2 collected his chickens' eggs in his basket, prepared omelets for his family and sold the rest of the eggs on the market.

"When you remember your past and bring it into your present, are you collecting s***, or are you collecting eggs?" Ajahn Brahm asked.

3. THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IS THE ONE YOU'RE WITH

The most important person is the one you're with, whoever that person may happen to be.

If you're in your organisation, the most important one is whoever is in front of you right now. If you're with clients, they're your most important persons. If you think that the one in front of you is your most important person, then you can communicate with him well, instead of thinking: when will he go away?

Be with them. If it's your boss, or a potential client, give them a degree of importance. Many people will say: I forgot about them 'because I'm busy'. I give them importance. It's an easy investment and you can get rewards.

4. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO DO AS A MANAGER

The most important thing to do as a manager is 'to care'.

If it's your customer, you care for her. Or if it's your boss, you care. It's a synergy to get people to work together.

5. TRUST

One of the biggest problems in achieving economic success was the cost involved in being unable to trust other people. For instance, sellers worry that buyers may not pay on time.

If we can trust, and trust is well-founded, then it will bring down transaction costs significantly and give a significant boost to any economy.

6. PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL

Very often managers give up performance assessment because they don't want to upset people.

However, in any business, it's a manager's job to improve performance and sometimes criticise subordinates. Ajahn Brahm suggested that managers use what he called "the sandwich method" by giving praise and pointing out a subordinate's positive qualities before identifying his weaknesses.

"When you praise someone, they will open up. Everyone likes a compliment, and it also shows that you care for them," he said. "Realise also that if a worker has a problem, it's your problem as well. When it becomes 'our problem', you will find a solution."

He cited a government department in the United Kingdom which was in the habit of measuring staff performance according to how many contracts they could get signed in Brussels [HQ of the European Commission]. A consequence was that all the department's qualified people "burned out" and left the organisation. The department later changed its system to reward officials who worked hard, or in other words, rewarded the process rather than the outcome.

Life is a process. It's how we achieve, more than what we achieve. If, this time, we're still not winning, then next time we will win. If you do it the right way, then eventually you will be rewarded. If you take short cuts or short-term profits, that's how we have ended up with - long-term recession.

TWENTY-FOUR BRAND-NEW HOURS

Every morning, when we wake up, we have twenty-four brand-new hours to live. What a precious gift! We have the capacity to live in a way that these twenty-four hours will bring peace, joy, and happiness to ourselves and others.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. The Question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We don't have to travel far away to enjoy the blue sky. We don't have to leave our city or even our neighborhood to enjoy the eyes of a beautiful child. Even the air we breathe can be a source of joy.

We can smile, breathe, walk, and eat our meals in a way that allows us to be in touch with the abundance of happiness that is available. We are very good at preparing to live, but not very good at living. We know how to sacrifice ten years for a diploma, and we are willing to work very hard to get a job, a car, a house, and so on. But we have difficulty remembering that we are alive at the present moment, the only moment there is for us to be alive.

Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment. ...

PRAYER FOR FREEDOM FROM SUFFERING

May all beings everywhere plagued
with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending each other.
May those who find themselves in trackless, fearful wilderness--
the children, the aged, the unprotected--
be guarded by beneficent celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

By Ven. Thich Nhat Hanh

Dhamma in Business : Buddha's Teachings apply brake to greed

The Nation, 17 June 2009

Doing businesses is like swimming: you can never stop or you may drown. So says Chuleeporn Chompatana, managing director of Smart Vision, Thailand.

However, she believes managers must learn that moving too fast or being too greedy can bring disaster to a business, so Chuleeporn uses Dhamma "like a circuit breaker" to keep on a balanced course.

"Dhamma can be applied to business. Everyone can become greedy when doing business, but Dhamma will 'brake' us with consciousness," she said in a recent interview. "Sometimes, when you feel no fun in doing something, you will know it's time to stop."

Smart Vision is a provider of glasses, contact lenses and related products and services. In its 11 years of operations, Smart Vision has never made a loss. It posted record sales revenue of about Bt50 million last year.

Chuleeporn, 37, said she began studying Dhamma four or five years ago by reading the books of revered monk Phra Maha Wudhijaya Vajiramedhi - better known by his pen name, W Vajiramedhi. Since then she has joined retreats and practised meditation.

She said she had become more relaxed with her staff as a consequence and was not moody when staff failed to perform according to expectations. One direct effect of Dhamma on Smart Vision's business came when Chuleeporn learned to give. That launched the company's annual programme of donating glasses to communities.

"It is like [the donations] have an automatic return. In the communities where our company is located, word gets around. We never have any problems. Our staff has to arrive at the office at 5am so they can get to the health check-up location by 7am. If the villagers cannot see us well enough, [they will complain] we're making too much noise," she said.

Unlike traditional shops, Smart Vision offers its products through a fleet of 10 vans that follow hospitals and health centres as they provided on-site health check-ups. Smart Vision has no retail stores but recently opened outlets in two Bangkok hospitals, near their ophthalmology departments.

Chuleeporn said normally, a factory or office she visited would have 300-1,000 staff and that 15-20 per cent of them would order glasses or other products from Smart Vision. Although the company has hundreds of competitors, only four or five are considered major rivals, she said.

A Father's letter to his daughter

My dearest daughter,

There will be one day that you see me old (I’m already grey!), please have patience and try to understand me.

If I get dirty or cannot dress... have patience. Remember the hours I spent teaching it to you.

If, when I speak, I repeat the same things a thousand times, please try to listen, if not with your ears, then with your heart.
When you were small, I had to answer you a thousand and one times, many, many questions until you were satisfied..

For many years, we as a family tried our best to walk the Noble Path guided by the Dhamma and the Five Precepts. You must now walk this Path firmly and steadily, and in turn you must help others too.

When you see my ignorance on new technologies.. give me the necessary time and not look at me with a mocking smile, the oldest and most applicable technology is the Dhamma, it is still the best, learn it well.

I taught you how to do so many things, to eat good food, to dress well, to confront life, to know what is right from wrong, the beautiful Dhamma… to question.

School and college can teach you science, maths and business, but we taught you the Buddha’s Teachings, I hope you had learnt well.. and is applying it.

When at some moment I lose the memory or the thread of our conversation.. let me have the necessary time to remember, and if I cannot do it, do not become nervous.. as the most important thing is to be with you. You may even now teach me back.

If ever I seem to test your patience, recall how your mummy and I were taught “patience” in raising you and your siblings.

When my tired legs do not allow me walk, give me your hand.. the same way I did when you had your first steps.

And when someday you find me spending much time just sitting in meditation, it is not that I reject your company, it’s jut that I’m trying to know myself better. Despite all these years, I am still learning.

Try to understand that like a sand clock flowing fast, I do not have the luxury of time, so every moment is precious; whether spent with you or alone.

Some day you will discover that despite our mistakes, your mummy and I, always wanted the best things for you and that we tried to prepare the way for you.

You must not feel sad, angry or frustrated when seeing my faults. Try to be next to me, to understand me and to help me as I did it when you were young.

Help me to walk this Noble Path, with love and patience, just as I tried to help you. I will pay you by a smile and by the immense love I always have for you.

Buddhist Maha Vihara launches fund for Sri Lankan orphans

The Star, 15 June 2009

SOME 400 orphans displaced in the Vavuniya district, 254km north of Colombo as a result of the recently concluded war between the Sri Lanka army and the Tamil Tigers are living in misery without basic necessities.

To help them, the Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, is organising a project to raise money to educate and provide assistance to these children.

An initial RM30,000 has been collected to kick-start the programme.

“This will be an ongoing programme that constitutes scholarships and educational opportunities for these children,” the Buddhist Chief High Priest of Malaysia K. Sri Dhammaratana Nayaka Maha Thera said.

“The Sri Lankan children are in need of help and through this fund-raising project we hope to give to some hope to these children and help them start a new life,” he said.

The temple is also starting a collection of items like sanitary products, toiletries, blankets and pillows, clothes and other necessities.

Deputy Federal Territories Minister Datuk M. Saravanan, who launched the project on 12 June 2009, also pledged RM10,000 from the ministry.

Those interested in donating can call the temple at 03-2274 1141.

Buddhist Answers

The world has progressed in terms of scientific knowledge, but there are still wars and strife. What does Buddhism have to say about this?

Many people believed that science would be the saviour of humanity. We worshipped scientific facts, and believed that technological advancements would shield us from the sufferings. This was perhaps the biggest myth of the last century. That is not to say that science has not offered benefits. It has - definitely. Through medical advancements, life expectancy has doubled since the beginning of the 19th century, and life has become easier. While these are admirable achievements, the root causes of war and strife still remain beyond the realm of science.

Why is this? Well, the cause of war, strife as well as personal suffering lie within our own minds. As the Dalai Lama has said, “Peace starts within each one of us. When we have inner peace, we can be at peace with those around us.” When individuals harbour anger towards colleagues or neighbours how could international peace be achieved? It is like expecting healthy plants to grow from polluted soil.

We suffer because our action is rooted in the mistaken view of a separate self and other. We view the world as if from a fortress, and so even compassion is tainted with the desire to gain something - if only a sense of personal satisfaction. Only when we recognize that our connection to the world is no different to the relationship between the heart and the physical body does our altruistic action flow naturally.

Not understanding that things have no inherent existence causes frustration and disappointment. In reality, everything with characteristics has no more substance than a rainbow or mirage. While this might sound complicated, in reality it is not.

Let’s examine a piece of paper. It is made of wood that came from a tree. In turn, the tree developed from a seed that interacted with soil, moisture and heat. The paper is merely a combination of elements, and there is nothing inherently called paper. All things exist in the same way. If we recognize this truth, then it is perfectly acceptable to follow a rainbow or to play with a mirage. Suffering arises when we try to grasp and hold these things believing they truly exist. Again, like the man in the forest, a mistaken view results in pain.

So, if science cannot create the conditions for inner wellbeing, should we reject it? No. Science offers benefits for mankind. At the same time, however, we should not consider science as the saviour of the world. The best solution is to use scientific developments, but view them with the eyes of wisdom. In this way, we remain in our environment and use its benefits, but are free from the suffering caused by attachment and expectations.

Master Shen Yan's 108 Adages 圣严法师108法语

Bro. Soon Kok e-mailed this slide to me. I've uploaded it to a file sharing website to embed it in this blog.

Here are some of the gems of Master Shen Yan's adages:

山不转路转，路不转人转，人不转心转。
If the mountain won’t move, build a road around it. If the road won’t turn, change your path. If you are unable to even change your path, just transform your mind.

船过水无痕，鸟飞不留影，成败得失都不会引起心情的波动，那样是自在解脱的大智能。
A passing boat leaves no trace upon the waters; a bird’s fight leaves no trace in the sky. When fleeting success, failure, gain or loss leaves no trace upon the heart, the great wisdom of liberation has been achieved.

超越生老病苦三原则：活得快乐, 病得健康，老得有希望。
To transcend the sufferings of birth, old age, and sickness, keep to the three principles: live happily, face illness with a healthy mind, and embrace old age with hope.

大鸭游出大路，小鸭游出小路，不游就没有路。
A big duck cuts a big wake; a small duck cuts a small wake.
Big or small, each duck will paddle its own way to the other shore – but only if it paddles.

成功的三部曲是：随顺因缘，把握因缘，创造因缘。
The tripartite formula for success is : go with the causes and conditions, seize them as they come, and create them when they don’t.

Adding a horizontal menu bar to your blog (blogger.com)

You may be surprised to see a horizontal menu or navigation bar on this blog which are not commonly found in blogger blogs. (but it's quite common for wordpress blogs).

Many thanks to Mr. Drraman for giving free tips on his blog.

I discovered that not all blog templates are amendable as the html codes of some templates (such as "tekka" and "sand dollar" ) don't have ' maxwidgets' and "/*header */" for me to make amendment.

I have to change my template from "tekka" to the one created by "Darren Delaye" in order to add the horizontal menu.

"Life is a spiritual journey" - Sayadaw u jotika

During Welfare Section's AGM on 24 May 2009, Bro. Soon Kok mentioned in his speech that out of 10 devotees who took the dhamma books or CDs, only 2 or 3 will read or listen. This is really a wake-up call for me. My flame of zeal for dhamma is diminishing. I hardly finished any dhamma books nowaday. Most of the time I only skimmed through few pages.

When I first encountered with Buddhism, my thirst for dhamma could never be quenched. I devoured all the dhamma books I came acrossed and never missed any dhamma talks. But this enthusiasm only lasted about 5 years.

Few days ago, I skimmed through over the books I've collected over the last few years. I wanted to experience the sense of tranquility that I gained through reading dhamma book again. I picked up the smallest book I could find - "Life is a spiritual journey" by Sayadaw u jotika. The first page of the book is a Chinese New Year greeting "Wishing you a happy & properous Chinese New Year 2007". Oh! I've kept this book for more than 2 years without reading it! I remembered I collected this book from Lunas Hermitage on the first day of Chinese New Year 2007.

It took me less than twenty minutes to finish the whole book. I really rejoiced in reading it and I've read it almost every day since then.

I'm burdened with work and the amount of assignment seems endless. It gives me a positive perpective about life after reading the book. Here are some of the "gems":

"Problems have their purpose. It's a lesson we need to learn in order to grow up. Yes, they have a wonderful purpose. Some people wish for a life of no problems. But I would never wish for such a life for any of you. What I wish for you is the great inner strength to solve any problems meaningfully and grow."

"Mindfulness gives you a kind of equanimty, gives you an even mood, makes you calm and makes you in a way detached. Detachment doesn't mean you are unconcerned. Detachment means not being egoistic, not taking things personally and not being attached to outcomes."

"Every problem is an opportunity. If you understand this and take every problem as an opportunity then your life will become more and more meaningful. To take every problem, every difficult situation as an opportunity we need to be mindful. We need to be always mindful. There should be mindfulness already in your heart."

This book is distributed free by "Inward Path". Here is the link

Charity Sales at Amcorp Mall

We set up a charity stall at Amcorp Mall today to sell the eco-enzyme and glycerin soaps. The stall was rented by Bro. Joseph and Sis. Linda for their honey and petai tea business. Maha Sadhu to Bro. Joseph and Sis. Linda for providing a space for the charity sales.

Bro. Joseph, Sis. Linda, Sis. Dora and Sis. Mae were at the stall before 11:00a.m.

Bro. Pheng came in the afternoon. The gentlemen in the picture came to Vihara during Wesak day to buy honey from Bro. Joseph. He came to our stall to support us again. He was quite impressed with Sis. Dora's selling skill.

Sis. Dora, Sis. Mae and Sis. Chan were serving the customer, who eventually
bought three pcs of soap. (Sis. Chan joined us in the afternoon)

We closed the charity stall at around 4:30pm.

Maha Sadhu to Sis. Mae, Sis. Dora and Sis. Chan for volunteering their time and effort for the charity sales and to Bro. Joseph and Sis. Linda, for their assistance in the charity sales.

Eco Enzyme - Nature's miracle

During the Wesak Day, we have sold some eco-enzyme made by Sis Dora. The sales was quite encouraging.

Most of us know that eco-enzyme can be used for household cleaning as well as a fertiliser, but do you know it can also be used to heal diabetic wound ?

The Star reported on 2 September 2008 that Mr. Chin Choon Sin, 70 has healed his severe diabetic sore feet with eco-enzyme.

“I was so helpless at that time as my feet has become dark with infections. Even the doctor had given up but I knew I had to try something to save my feet,” he said.

Chin is able to walk today as his wounds have dried up and the energetic elder was seen promoting the use of eco-enzyme during a talk held in conjunction with the Drainage Cleanliness Campaign held at the Dewan Rakyat Pasar Pagi, Tanjung Bungah, Penang on 1 September 2008. (Here is the link)

Convinced user:Chin showing the wound on his leg
that has healed with the help of eco-enzyme.

Eco-enzyme can also be used to clean vegetables as it can neutralise the pesticide*

Here is the full list of eco-enzyme's most common usage :

At homes, eco-enzyme can be used :
- as a household cleaning liquid
- to remove foul odours, molds and grime in the kitchen and toilet
- as an anti-bacterial and anti-viral agent
- to drive away insects
- to clean carpets and remove ticks
- for laundry washing and ironing
- for mopping floors
- for cleaning cars

In agriculture, eco-enzyme can be used for:
- to reduce the usage of chemical fertilizers
- to keep the farm free from insects and infections
- as a soil fertilizer for vegetable growing
- as a natural pesticide and herbicide
- to convert sandy land to fertile farm land
- keep the air cool and clean in the farm atmosphere
- clean the dirty and impure water in the farm

Due to its anti-bacterial property, it can also be used for personal hygiene such as hair washing and body cleaning.

* If you are using the enzyme for healing wound, cleaning vegetable or for personal hygience, please make sure that the kitchen waste used to make the enzyme were thoroughly cleaned and don't contain any impurities such as vegetable worms etc.

The eco-enzyme must be stirred regularly.
Sis. Dora demonstracted how it should be done.

Our eco-enzyme is sold at RM5 per bottle. Other than the usual ingredients (i.e. fruit peels and brown sugar), Sis. Dora has also added metta (loving kindness) and karuna (compassion) in making it. The entire proceeds goes to Welfare Fund. We are keeping some stock in our store at Buddhist Maha Vihara. If you want to buy some, please contact Bro. Pheng at Buddhist Maha Vihara. He is available at the Vihara from 7:00pm- 10:00pm on Monday, Tuesday and Friday. You can also call me at 013-3690612 to make special arrangement to collect it.

We thank you for your support to our fundraising for our charity work.
