PHBS Wesak Celebration 24 May 2013

Wesak Day is the auspicious day when we celebrate the birth of Lord Buddha, His attainment of Enlightenment and His 

Passing into Mahaparinibbana.

PHBS celebrated the 4th Wesak Day at the rented premises.   

 The presence of the Sangha added elements of spirituality to the celebration.

... with this lamp shining brightly , with the Dhamma in my heart I, too endeavour to dispel the darkness...

  Members and non-member volunteers worked hard to make it a success. Sponsors from various corporate bodies were greatly appreciated, too.



A Big SADDHU! to all members and volunteers who made this occasion a big Success.

May You All Be Well and Happy Always.

Turning Back the Clock to 12th May 2013

Sukhi Hotu to All..

Posting title- turning back the clock... so sorry for the long absence. But anyway back to 12th May,
Blessed us that the sharing was by  Bhante U Dhammananda. It was very well spoken. Bhante was very accomodative too, answering every question that devotees asked to the utmost.
The bottom line is practice and whatever benefits one can reap differ in experiencing it.

Personally i think if outside of the Dhamma hall and you hear post discussion, it means a lot of  absorption. 
Bhante's approach has changed from previous session and of course he has impressed upon the listeners greatly. 
From Puzzling to Amazing.... the Dhamma is Spoken.


The greatest achievement is selflessness. 
The greatest worth is self-mastery. 
The greatest quality is seeking to serve others. 
The greatest precept is continual awareness. 
The greatest medicine is the emptiness of everything. 
The greatest action is not conforming with the worlds ways. 
The greatest magic is transmuting the passions. 
The greatest generosity is non-attachment. 
The greatest goodness is a peaceful mind. 
The greatest patience is humility. 
The greatest effort is not concerned with results. 
The greatest meditation is a mind that lets go. 
The greatest wisdom is seeing through appearances.

(quotations from the Buddha) states:

"All things are preceded by the mind, led by the mind, created by the mind."

the first verse of theDhammapada 

Saddhu! Saddhu! Saddhu!
