-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
An opportunity to offer Dana or Daily Meals to 500 Sangha Members in conjunction with Cheng Beng Festival this month for Venerable Ashak's monastry in the remote area of Qinghai, China.

Prayers for World Peace, Blessings and Tranference of merits for
Donors and the departed will be conducted on a daily basis by the 500 Sanghas while the Dana for Sangha Meal Fund is still available.

Quoting from the Dhammapa 121-122:
Don't underestimate merit! (It won't amount to much)
A water jar fills,
even with water falling in drops.
With merit - even if bit by bit, habitually the enlightened one fills
himself full.

For those who is keen to participate in this meritorious deed, kindly contact Sis Bee Yong @ 012-208 5856.
