During Mother’s Day, At Least Don’t Give Trouble to Your Mother! And Not Just During Mother’s Day, Everyday, Don’t Give Her Trouble. That Way, You Show Your Love and Respect For Your Mother by Not Giving Her Trouble

I find Bhante’s delivery during the Mother’s Day lunch very meaning, practical and close to heart. As I recall, one part that resounds deeply with me, goes like this:
“… During Mother’s Day, at least don’t give trouble to your mother! And not just during Mother’s Day, everyday, don’t give her trouble.
That way, you show your love and respect for your mother by not giving her trouble. … “

The same goes for our father.

Happy Chinese New Year to All!

Happy Mothers’ Day

Happy Mothers’ Day to all mothers in the world!

Today, I attended the Geylang Serai Town day at Macpherson (under GS Youth IRCC) in the morning, then joined Bhante Dhammaratna at the Buddhist Library Mothers’ Day Lunch together with my family.  Following that my parents went with me to Ngee Ann City under Vesak @ Orchard organised by SBF and I joined in the Streettalk session (3pm ~ 5pm) hosted by 黄文鸿, Radio 1003 DJ, entitled “Next Stop: Happiness”.

Finally I am back at the Buddhist Library and just replied to some emails and am preparing for the 大乘百法明门论 (Mahayana Abhidharma) classes at Metta Welfare Association starting at 7:30pm.

*Phew* Just another day for a monk in Singapore.

So how did you spend your Mothers’ Day?

Again, mummy, Happy Mothers’ Day! 😀
