Actually i I apa pun tak bawa, I thought of just join the puja section and listen to talk, but I was wrong... today is Kathina Day, robe offering to the sanghas (monks), tak ada macam mana? Luckily the SJBA knew the character of the city "rats" well, robes selling booth have been set up there to make the life of the "rats" easy to get the robes and offer to the sangha. I am one of those rats, so I bought a robe cost rm80. There's another package cost rm250 (got extra medications, tooth brush, bowl and etc... ). The receipts shown as prove! haha and I going to use it to lari sikit tax :)
Then the 2nd booth I visited was organ donation booth. My friends, if you passed away one day, why keep it ur useless death body? Your skins, your lungs, your kidneys, your livers, your eyes, your heart and your bone marrows could really save somebody's life. My father was affected by Luekimia (blood cancel), although he was too old to have the bone marrow transplantation at that time, but through out the days I was in the Hospital UM, I met up with a lots of young people that are waiting the bone marrow transplantation to save their life. So, I pledge to all of you here, please call this toll free no: 1-800-88-9080 for further information about the organ donation or you could leave your email over here, I get you the form and help you post it! Please don't hesitate anymore, action that make the difference. My organ donation card is shown below.
After the organ donation booth, then I meet up with sw and huey, then we queening up for the robe offering to the Sangha. After the robe offering, I continue my next station --> Blood Donation. Again, I pledge to my friends to join the blood donation whenever they are free and qualified to be blood donor. Here is my new blood donation record book, look nice right? So, go and get one next time ^-^ Then I start to read the content of it, then I just realized there's a lot of benefits for the blood donor given by government hospital such as, if you donate more than twice in a year, you will be entittled to get a free vaccine injection for Hepatitis B.
For me, today is a very meaningful day for myself, it's been quite sometime I never join up with the Buddhist activities since I work, I hope I will continue to have the spirit to join the other Buddhist activities! Oh, want to say sorry to yh for not able to meet her up at Than Xiang Old Folks House at PJ Old Town for the charity fund raising campaign. Here I promised you I will go try to make myself available on 8&9th of December for the big fund raising campaign at Than Xiang Center. I hope some of my friends who read my blog would join me there.
