Hi NPSDians! Our lighthouse is alive and kicking again and we have shifted to the atrium becos of the lack of space at our old lighthouse. To help us kickstart our campus dialogue this semester are our lighthouse keepers Xueyun, May and Zijing. Please keep the light burning by coming down to support everyday from 12 to 2pm. We not only need your physical support but we need other lighthouse keepers to do the sharing. It can be just a short 10 mins sharing and need not be a gakkai article or book. Something that inspires you can also inspire and encourage others too. While we study together, we encourage one another, deepen our own understanding of buddhism, polish our own characters and accumulate good fortune together =) right now we are collating timetables to see who can make it for sharing on different days and we will find a lighthouse ah tao to allocate the slots. i hope that all can participate!! please email me the days that you are free from either 12 to 1 or 1 to 2 ok? My email is layleng17@gmail.com.
Faith is not an obligation. Likewise, lighthouse sharing is not an obligation. With an unenlightened eye, we see it even as a hassle and burden but nevertheless, the foundation we build in our youth enables us to stand strong in times of trouble. Would you rather idle your time away? why not spend that half an hour in a day or a week creating some value and learning something? these are things that cannot be taken away from you whether in times of happiness or troubles.
When we light a lantern for ourselves, we light the way of others too. Let us live up to the name of our mascot, the lighthouse and not just let it be a symbol which means nothing at the end of the day and take action now!
SD members must be the first to study, first to pray, first to take action!
Lay Leng =)
