Dharma Talk: What Is Right Effort?

What is Right Effort?

We put in effort to strive for this and that.  We are energetic when it comes to going for pursuits in our life.  We pursue our education, our career, and our entertainment.  We pursue to have a good life with our family.  We strive hard.  Is this Right Effort?  Or is it not?

But what is Right Effort?  What makes it “Right”?

Join me @ 730pm tonight at

Awareness Place Well-Being Centre

See you all then! 🙂

Puja for Boys in Tampines Accident

As I read about the accident in Tampines where two boys lost their lives, I thought it would be good to do a puja for them.  I don’t know them personally but we can still have a puja and dedicate it to them.

We’ll be having a simple puja at 7:30pm, Thursday 31st January 2013 at the Buddhist Library.

If you cannot make it, do sit silently for a minute and radiate metta to them.

Extend it to all sentient beings, may all beings be safe, healthy, free from fear and harm.
May all beings be Well and Happy.
