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)

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.

Wesak Eve & Wesak Day Charity Sales

On 8 and 9 May 2009, we operated an exhibition stall and a food stall inside and outside the Buddhist Maha Vihara during Wesak Eve and Wesak Day to raise fund for our charitable activities. Apart from a photograph exhibition of welfare activities and distribution of free dhamma books, we also sold soaps, enzyme, towels etc. At the food stall, we sold a variety of vegetarian food, ais kacang, acar, nasi lemak, curry puff, etc which were mostly donated by generous friends and committee members.

A big sadhu to all our friends and regular supporters who have helped us in the fund raising drive on these two days. May you be blessed with happiness, good health and all the best things in life.
