Farewell Venerable

Sukhi Hotu!

 This Sunday marked another milestone for PHBS members and students of the SDS. We all bade farewell to Venerable Rou Ti, who would be leaving for Melbourne, Australia.
 Venerable has been with PHBS for a while, helping out with the Sunday Dharma School and also actively helping out with our fund-raising activities. It is without doubt that the students and members do have some kind of attachment to Venerable. PHBS members,too, have benefitted from some of the discourses you have shared. We may be from different schools of thought but the destination is always the same.
 It has been sad to see you leave, Venerable , but then again, as Buddha said "letting go' and impermanance' as the order of the day for Buddhist practitioners.
Anyway PHBS wishes you well and take care.
May you progress in your practice until you reach the ultimate bliss of Nirvana.

SADDHU! SADDHU! SADDHU!

PHBS Chinese New Year Celebration and Food Fair 2013

24th February 2013, an eventful day for PHBS members.The event was to celebrate Chinese New Year and a FOOD Fair. Proceeds of the Food Fair will go towards the temple building fund.

As a matter of fact, PHBS building will be officially launched once the Selangor State Government endorses our land application. Currently, our committee is following up on this matter very closely. There was a briefing with the Chief Minister of Selangor on 10th January 2013.

Members and volunteers worked very hard to make it a success. There were 26 stalls selling an array of delicacies.There  were other dried foodstuffs, groceries and also a Game station for the little kiddies. All in all, everyone had a whale of time. The Lion dance and God of Prosperity spruced up the celebration.

Gracing the occasion was assemblywoman, YB Theresa Kok.

Nevertheless the most commendable were the organising Committee, members ,volunteers and residents of Putra Heights. Thank you for your time and effort.

Well as time goes by,your neighbourhood buddhist fellowship, PHBS  now has a vision

** ...to have a buddhist temple in Putra Heights.**

For that we will need the support of all those concerned whether in terms of spiritual support, expertise, time/effort and of course material.

Saddhu! Saddhu! Saddhu!

" A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity.”

Dhamma Sharing with Venerable Balachitta

14 February 2013
Sukhi Hotu

PHBS welcomes Ven Balachitta, a malaysian monk trained at SBS Taiping.

Ven. will be putting up at PHBS for a few days.( until Saturday 16 Feb 2013) He will be sharing a lot of Dhamma with us. Hope Putra Heights devotees take this opportunity to listen to his sharing.
As Venerable has mentioned, listening to the Dhamma is one of the 10 meritorious actions. Needless to say, it generates a lot of positive energy and good kamma, more so, on such auspicious occasion as the Chinese New Year.
Venerable talked about the 10 wholesome actions that can be done by us.

Come and join us for this evening's talk at 8.30pm
 For those who would like to perform Dana, please bring along your cooked food for offerings. As Bhante eats only ONE meal a day so Dana will be at 9.30 am.

February Dana 3rd Feb 2013

This month's Dana holds a special meaning for PHBS members and residents of Putra Heights. With Chinese New Year  just around the corner so instead of the normal offerings and sharing of merits we also did transference of merits to our departed relatives and friends.

Two monks from Sentul Temple were invited to our Dana. Bhante ,too, gave a short talk on the good of doing Dana. As a  Buddhist this is a good start of learning how to let go.  
It was a short talk nevertheless it was truly an enlightening talk. 

Hoping that we take a leaf from what was said by Bhante. 
Practise and practise hard if we want to be on the path and fruition.

Saddhu! Saddhu! Saddhu!to those who had contributed in bringing your cooked food. 

Again it is PHBS' aspiration that more will join in our activities for 2013.

A Happy and Blessed New Year to All.

On behalf of all the EXCO members we wish everyone

GONGXI FA CAI and have a safe journey home for those who are travelling to near or far to be with your beloved family.

Dana on the first Sunday of the Month- 6th January 2013

Sukhi Hotu.
Apologies for my late updates.

The first activity of 2013, kicked off with our first dana. Many of our members as well as non-members responded well, but of course we do hope more of putraheights  residents can join in for activites like this.
 There was chanting by the monks to bless all and a Dhamma talk was given by the monk.
The January SDS children celebrated their birthdays. Simple, no doubt but all went well . Have a blesssed New Year, dear all.
Saddhu! Saddhu! Saddhu!

21st December 2012

Ho Ho Ho... finally we are at it and the day goes by without any event. There is no "end of the world' after all. All the hu... hu.. ha.. ha......
Happy Dong Zi to All.
A few of us managed to gather at PHBS to chant for peace. It was rather quiet here at Putra Heights. Mostly because a lot of us are away on holidays.
Wishing All A Very Merry Xmas and A Blessed New Year.
