  • YOU CAN CALL ME SUMANA

    You can call me Karuna, loosely translated as “The Compassionate One”
    You can call me Valentino, the chic and macho one.

    Ehipassiko, we have known, we have seen and we have believed. Now, are we ready to achieve another milestone, to live with a Buddhist name? If your Chinese names are too long or too difficult to be pronounced and remembered, how about looking east and not west for the foreign sounded name? Perhaps names like Karuna or Khanti instead of Giorgio or Dino?

  • WIND BENEATH MY WINGS

    When I first attended the BISDS, I felt lost and alienated. Everything was new to me – the system, the school, the teachers, and the students.  Even the Dhamma was new to me.  Yet, as the years went by, I began to sense a change in me, a transformation that involved my character, my Dhamma knowledge and my attitude towards life.

    Throughout the five years in BISDS, I have changed from an introvert to an extrovert.  I learned to make friends and to participate in classroom discussions.   I also gained leadership qualities by joining the children’s camp as a committee member.  Furthermore, I participated in other activities and helped during Wesak Day, Appreciation Night and so on.  The activities indeed enabled me to build upon my leadership qualities.

    As a little girl, my dad would always drag me to Sunday school despite my tears of protest. Furious and irritated, I’d sit in class quietly. Straight after observing the Five Precepts, my tiny hand would go up. “Teacher, can I go toilet?”(sic) I’d ask, to which she would nod. I would then disappear with my bag to find Uncle Patrick, the care taker of the temple. Uncle Patrick would always advise me to attend class. But worrying that I would wander off on my own, he often took me home instead. Seeing me come home just 15 minutes after class began became a weekly source of headache for my parents. But, they still made sure I went every week.

    Once upon a time, there lived an ugly ogling ogre who had a kind heart. He was a vegetarian. He was in love with Ohoho. Huh? Did I get your attention?
