Our beloved friend and ex-Treasurer, the late Bro. Pheng Kian Guan passed away on 10 July 2013.
It is with great sadness that he was taken away from us so soon and it is hard to understand why such a good person died before his due time. However, his death taught us that death is certain but the time of death is very uncertain. Hence, we must always try to do something good or we may miss the opportunity to do so. In our busy lives, we sometimes tend to take each other and things for granted.
Bro. Pheng had contributed invaluable service to the needy community through his involvement in Buddhist Missionary Society Malaysia – Welfare Section. He had also played an active role in the Buddhist Maha Vihara Chanting Group, of which he was the leader every Tuesday. He had been a people’s person in Buddhist Maha Vihara. He was warm, caring and a delight to be around. He loved to share dhmma with any one he came in contact with, particularly new acquaintances and had touched many of them in a positive way.
Bro. Pheng served the Welfare Committee as an ordinary committee member from 1999 to 2005 and as the Honorary Treasurer since 1 January 2006until he passed away on 10 July 2013. He had all the good qualities of a good treasurer –attentive to details and meticulous in recording the funds down to the cents. He was very transparent in his accounts. During every welfare trip, he announced to the participants the detailed receipts and payments and balances for the trip even before the bus reached Kuala Lumpur.
Being physically strongest among all of us, he wasn’t just our treasurer, but also our frontman providing physical support for all our welfare activities. During Wesak Day, he helped to put up the banners for our stalls and fetching water for the food stall. During the charity trips, he ensured that all the provisions were moved from the store to the bus and distributed to each beneficiary correctly. Our bus journey was full of fun because of him. He was always the first to sing and he got other participants to join in the fun.
He certainly left his mark and no-one will forget his kindness, dedication and commitment. A big crowd turned up during his wake at Kwang Tung Funeral Parlour Kuala Lumpur on 12 July 2013 and the 7thday memorial service at Buddhist Maha Vihara on 17 July 2013.
We wish him a good rebirth and the earliest opportunity to attain the bliss of Nibbana.

敬爱的马来亚佛总理事先生Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia佛寺理事先生以及佛教信徒.
ReplyDelete自从Yip Kum Fook (MCA Gombak Chairman)当任主席, 有预谋的迫走本地和尚(吉兰丹), 而遠聘缅甸和尚, 当任主持之后Samnak Sambodhi Thai Buddhist Temple No: 19 Jalan 38 Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong 52100 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia(暹廟)就一直发生种种的是是非非, 以引起方民間議論纷纷.
其因是Yip Kum Fook (MCA Gombak Chairman)所领导的理事会, 勾结外耒的缅甸和尚, 以啇業経营, 不依佛法的精神办事, 只借宗教之名捞取权和私利所引起………. 最近又自行一套商业手法, 规定任和人, 若想出家当和尚修道者, 必先供给RM400大元, 否则免谈. 這种啇業手法, 已引起广大的信徒愤怒而不满.
Samnak Sambodhi Thai Buddhist Temple (暹廟)是佛总之联会, 而身佛堂之主席Yip Kum Fook (MCA Gombak Chairman)不以佛陀的教誨, 修心養性, 却反其道而行, 接着权势, 无悪不做, 三妻四妾, 骗财骗色, 破坏別人的家庭.....现在他的排聞满天飞, 不但给佛寺帶耒不好的名声, 也間接的耻辱佛教信仰者.
所从我们祈望马来亚佛总与Buddhist Maha Vihara, Brickfields, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia理事同仁, 给以关注, 共創義举, 维护佛法
此致, 并
祝安康, 工作愉快.
