Dharma Drum Youth Singapore Enviromental Day (20 June 09')

How will you feel when a heap of rubbish lies awaiting for you at the beach? Perhaps then, you will wonder how come there is a lot of rubbish at East Coast Park and who have contributed to these rubbish.


On 20 June 09' morning, we gathered at East Coast Park for coastal clean-up. Esther from the Singapore Environment Council kindly gave us an educational talk on environment. Many of us are familiar with the 3Rs- Reduce, Reuse and Recycle. Esther introduced to the 4th R, which is Remember! This is important since we always tend to forget to carry out the other 3Rs. Fion from Dharma Drum Youth Singapore also gave us a talk on "having a peaceful and pure mind"(心灵环保).






The amount of effort that we put in during the coastal clean-up was definitely not enough. Everyone should constantly play a part in protecting our mother Earth.








After coastal clean-up, we had a sharing session. Everyone spoke of their clean-up experience and shared thoughts on keeping the beach clean.



How time flies. It was time to pack up and head for home. Before we were dismissed, group photo is not something to be missed!

Movie Screening cum Dharma Discussion (by Shen Shi'an)

Synopsis:

RELIVE 'GROUNDHOG DAY' TODAY!

Dharma@Cinema : Movie Screening cum Dharma Discussion (by Shen Shi'an)

Though 'Groundhog Day' was recently screened on Groundhog Day itself (2nd February) at NTU Buddhist Society, it deserves to be screened again - this time, at Dharma Drum Singapore! In many places around the world, it is a much celebrated movie that is both enthusiastically screened and discussed at length by Buddhists. Now, what's the fuss about?

The comedy fantasy, starring Bill Murray, opened in theatres 15 years ago to both critical and commercial success. Interestingly, many people, especially fellow Buddhists in the West claim that it's their favourite movie of all time (other than 'The Matrix').

It tells the story of a man who unwittingly embarks on a spiritual misadventure as he relives a particular day over and over - until he gets it right. What's intriguingly realistic is the portrayal of his natural process of growth that we can all relate to. It's a timeless tale about the deeper significance of deja vu experiences, and the infinite chances we get, squander and treasure in our many rebirths. Don't miss this classic (again)!
