观看話剧有感

與Bro Albert及几位Sai 姐弟们结伴上吉隆被, 只知会去观赏一部話剧 .哗!真是料不到参与比話剧的演员,大部份都是思菩提峇赞中文组的Sai兄弟姐妹们. 我蛮欣赏Sai 家庭的和睦相处之道,更羡慕这群同一信念的成员,中规中矩演好其角色 ,佩服佩服 .

小巧的金蓮赛姐演饰被儿子误解的母親, 面对儿子惡狠狠及无理恶劣的态度,在剧中把委屈心酸的情緒表达在歌曲中,使人感慨做妈妈对儿子的爱及无奈.

这位脾气暴躁的儿子Jeff(Bro Freddy Tan演饰) 面对失职,掛念失散的妹妺, 单親之怨愤,一股勁将之发洩在母親身上.歌里尽唱出愤愤不平心声, 处理手法倒是可圈可點呀!

演饰慈祥的外婆(Sis Vivian)进入孫子的梦中, 以稳勁的女低音唱着,开導,化解孫儿对其母的誤解……不得不敬佩Sis Vivian 演技不輸年輕人哦!

知心好友可是生活圈子里不缺的精神支柱.Jeff遇車祸時……好友丹尼(Bro Grey Ang演饰) 為Jeff奔走,担忧……哗!不難聽出渗透着焦急的唱腔, 不错呀!

失散得妹妺爱丽丝(Sis See Mei Zhi)怀着欢欣的心情出现在许愿樹下. 左顧右盼着親哥哥但迎来的却是丹尼 ……

当合唱团加入演唱時. 在观众席的我们,不由自主的在心理或輕声跟着唱 ……这种和谐共嗚只有在Sai家庭表露無遺哦.

思菩提峇赞中文组,你们的魅力不禁讓我高喊 “好,真好”再接再厲.

祝贺

My Trip to Puttarparthi- A precious gift from Swami

Allow me to share my memorable trip to Puttarparthi to celebrate Wesak at Prashanti Nilayam this year 2009.

On May 5th 2009 , some Tangkak devotees , a small group of curious participants from Tangkak , my brother Bernard and I left for India .

This is my second visit to celebrate Wesak in the presence of Bhagawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba . My first trip was 3 years ago , where we celebrated Wesak at Whitefield in India .

After my first trip , I had aspired to visit Prashanti Nilayam at Puttarparthi and I had my wish granted this year .

As the summer heat was soaring in India , we , the choir , were told that Wesak celebration would most likely be at Whitefield , as Whitefield being cooler in terms of weather . Two days before our departure to India , we received confirmation , that Bhagawan will be in Puttarparthi for Wesak . Incredible ! Imagine how delighted I was at the news .

Our group arrived at the Ashram in Puttarparthi in the early hours of daybreak on the 6th May 2009 . After having settled in our rooms , Sister Hiang Lan(my room-mate) and I got ready for the morning darshan . That evening our choir , made up of mainly devotees from Kuala Lumpur and a small member from Tangkak were called for an audition and we qualified to perform on Wesak day 9th May as scheduled . But on the 7th May , words came round in the afternoon , that we will have to sing on the 8th May afternoon and that is at the opening of the Wesak celebration .

On the 8th May , we sang to a huge crowd at the opening of Wesak . At the end of all the performances , Bhagawan came down from the dais to take photo with us . We were all so overjoyed by Bhagawan grace and Love .

On the 9th May , that is Wesak Day , celebrations continued with performances and activities . Some Tangkak devotees headed by Brother Albert Ong , were called upon to distribute food to the poor . After an early lunch , Sis Hiang Lan and I started packing in our room , as our Tangkak group was to leave for Bangalore that afternoon at 5.30 pm.

While we were packing , two ladies came to our room at the 3rd floor of the hostel . One was an Indian lady and the other was a European lady . The Indian lady asked if I was Buddhist when I asked if I could do anything for them . She also enquired where I was from and we discovered we were Malaysians . Then the European lady asked if I know who Karmapa is ? I told her that not only I know His Holiness , I had the opportunity to meet him in Bodhgaya in December of 2006 . The Indian lady turn to the European lady and said “ You have found the person .” Then the Indian lady left .

I invited the European lady into the room . She was dressed in a white sari with small flower designs and held a white plastic bag . She related that she had spent a year with Bhagawan and Bhagawan had asked her to visit North India . She continued that the chapter of her life here in Puttarparthi is coming to a close and she will be returning to Germany soon . She had asked for Bhagawan’s help (in her prayers, may be) to find someone to handover a few things .

Then she took out from the plastic bag some photos and posters of Taras , Karmapa , Ruipoches , some CDs and DVDs .

She told me that I can go through them and keep them if I wish . She then gave me a CD entitled , “ Lion’s Roar Great Compassion ” and told me to keep it .Then she took out a saffron silk cloth , saying that it is very precious . She unfolded the cloth and took out a photo of the Image of Lord Buddha Shakyamuni at the Maha Bodhi Temple in Bodhgaya . She handed the photo and silk cloth to me saying she knows I will treasure it . She said that the silk cloth was worn on the Buddha Image in the Maha Bodhi Temple . The Maha Bodhi Temple where the Image is photographed is the exact place when Lord Buddha attained unsurpassed , supreme Enlightenment . I was so overwhelmed but managed to thank her and did not know what else to say but we hugged each other and cried . She left immediately , leaving me standing in the room still stunned . Sister Hiang Lan immediately asked me to get her name . I only managed to get the first part of her name --- Maria , as she disappeared down the stairs .

Back in the room , I sat on the bed thinking --- This is unbelievable ! I knew it was all Bhagawan’s grace and Love . On this day , 9th May was also my husband’s birthday and this is a very precious and holy gift for him too.

SADHU , SADHU , SADHU .

一辈子想像不到的事

分别两年

此時此刻 ... 相约到来

忘怀的 一首接一首承献新歌舊曲

專注当儿 ………… 忽然 , 驚慌 ! 失措 !

因您的離去?

歌曲如滚球般地滑落 ……….

忐忑不安的老师 , 以不变應万变

不停 , 不息的接着唱

不怨 , 不悔的呼喊您

感谢您

感谢您 , 从回我们身边

感谢您

衷心的謝謝您 , 我们的欢乐又躍起

今天

有如溺爱孩儿的父亲

放任您的儿女们

个个轻轻觸摸你的蓮花足

有者小心翼翼的輕吻之

您的儿女们

笑逐顏開同合照

心滿意足擁抱相增礼品

親爱的赛世尊

坦然 , 自在的与您直视几秒

心悅 ...... 平静

眨眼间

我俩同时对視而笑

感谢这一切的一切

一辈子想像不到的事

就在今天发生了

是您

是您送上这份温暖

深深不息的

永永远远留在我的记憶中

悟 Gayathri Manthra 的好处

今年 , 全马赛世尊信徒都在齐心推动誦唸 Gayathi Mantra , 以比真言回赠赛世尊 85 岁大寿 , 健康安祥 .

因为我们的单位己承諾要誦唸50万次 . 所以 , 就在每个星期四Bhajans 开始前的45 分钟 , 提前聚誦. 也鼓励信徒自发性的 , 安排时间在家独誦以便达到所做出的承諾 .至比 , 我开始在家早/ 晚一定独誦二 / 三次(註) , 也把一部份看电视連續劇的娱乐閒情中止了 . 尽全力如做功課式的将之誦唸 …….

一开始 ,我是随意躺着或坐着誦唸 , 把次數加加起来 , 只望尽一份信徒所做出的承諾及责任. 但在誦唸一个月后 , 我开始盤坐 , 闭上眼睛將注意力集中 , 在冥想自己坐在百善地大厅 ( 当时合唱团的位子 ) 对着赛世尊誦唸 …….慢慢的, 一股样和 , 平静 ,安定的感應圖佈满我脑海 . 这样的感觉随着时日使我不再对此誦唸是抱着交侍功課的心态 , 反之是心灵上的享受了 .

就在我获得此乐趣时的一个星期左右 , 有一位赛妹来电问我怎样与赛世尊倾诉心事 , 当时她有些 “ 情緒不安寧 ” , 我马上就教她冥想她现在就坐在我们的中心 , 她惯坐的位子上誦唸 Gayathri Manthra …….. 第二天 , 她説她的心情也就慢慢的平静下来而能去20公里外接载她先生呢 !

各位赛兄弟姐妹 , 誦唸时不妨冥想惯坐的位子上与赛世尊同在 , 受惠無窮呀 .

沙迪亚赛中文心育教师深进课程工作坊

沙迪亚赛中文心育教师深进课程工作坊

二零零九年三月七日至八日

亲爱的赛心育同学们 SAI RAM.

在这三天的假期里，当你们埋头苦读应付考试时，心育教师们也趁这长假参加由沙迪亚赛中文组主办的心育教师深进课程工作坊。

星期六清早，大家浩浩荡荡来到士古来谢云光赛兄的家。也是这次工作坊的营地。这四星级的营地说是花明柳媚，鸟语花香真是人间仙境。

九时半正，大家都遵守课堂纪律，个自就位，全神贯注念三次Gayathri Mantra, 静坐，向内探索。

庄志平老师的破冰游戏真是别开生面。激发了我们赛叔，赛嫂久别了的数目游戏。不过都是宝刀未老，大家都完得兴高采烈，不亦乐乎。

杨孔伟赛兄带领我们一起回顾人类价值教育的发展和最新动向。

纪木英赛姐也和我们分享为师之道和五大人类价值。心育的目标就是启发人类内潜的五大价值，并将它们实践于日常生活上

五大人类价值

SSEHV课程要旨是让儿童们在学习过程中，诱发蕴藏于其内心里的五大人类价值，即：真理、正义、和平、博爱和仁慈（非暴力）。这五大价值是全人类所共有的，不会因为社会、政治和宗教信仰的不同而有所分别。它是每一个神圣信仰的基础, 是人类与生俱来的价值。SSEHV课程让学生在日常生活中体验、认知、并探索这些价值。

五个教学项目

SSEHV课程是由五个教学项目所组成，即：每周主题、静坐、讲故事、唱歌和集体活动。通过这些充满互动与激励性的活动，学生将愉快地学习与他们每一天的生活息息相关的五大价值

SSEHV最具挑战性的教育理念是促进学生，父母和老师三方面形成有效的联系。它强调学生必须学习如何珍惜自己、父母、老师和友伴。同时鼓励父母及老师以身作则，身体力行以成为孩子们学习的模范.

这教学理念，对从事心育教育多年的纪木英赛姐来分享是最适当不过了。他也整理好了教材准备给我们个自带回中心。

午餐过后，洋洋盈耳的峇贊把我们带进下午的课程。

杨赛兄讓我们来个性格測試，了解个人的性格体态。这測試把我们分成四大类。理智型（intellectual），感觉型(physical)， 情绪型(emotional)， 鉴别型(discriminating).

杨赛兄 分析各类型的性格，营员们都全神贯注的听解和认同。此活动能够改进家庭成员的关系， 增加相互间的了解。减少师生们的沟通障碍， 以在学生的行为方面获得更好的理解。
过后，来自麻坡BAKRI BU的颜赛姐和我们讲解环保手工艺，展示环保教材。 当然，少不了废物利用， 把将丢弃的铝灌，塑料捆包带， 经过 细巧的手艺，制成手提袋，多用途精制的手工艺术品.

颜赛姐和我们讲解环保的重要性。精制的手工艺术 坏了的电风扇请不要丢弃因为其覆盖可以拿来制成果篮
这位师姐就是我们的手工师父。

营员们也兴致勃勃，拿起塑绳有样学样的跟着师姐编制小篮

第二天凌晨六时半正，OMKAR 和静坐 。

早餐过后，我们开始峇贊。

早上的活动真是精彩。老师把我们分成两组，来个才艺表演。大家都玩得不亦乐乎。

接下来就是分组讨论如何应用和编写教案。这个活动对新老师很有帮助。因为每组都要模拟教学，展示课室的情况。过后，老师们给以宝贵的评论和意见。所谓，有过则改之，无则加勉。

最后，我们开始工作坊的讨论：探讨心育老师的诉求；心育班的纪律问题；如何评估儿童身、心、灵的进展及如何配合中央中文组发展心育课程。

工作坊讨论 完成也就结束了这两天一夜的沙迪亚赛中文心育教师深进课程工作坊。
闭幕仪式开始之前，我们来个 舞蹈和手语排练。

舞蹈 - 消遥舞
手语 - 感恩的心 闭幕仪式，谢云光赛兄颁发出席证书给每位参加者。

左起谢云光赛兄，纪木英赛姐，郑莉莉，杨孔伟赛兄和庄志平赛兄

CHOIR PRACTISE IN SEPUTEH BHAJAN UNIT @ 15TH MARCH 09

We have decided to join the Choir Group to go to either Whitefield or Puttarparthi on the 5th May 09 till 11th May 09. This is our 1st practise on Sunday 15th March 09 and subsequent practise on Wednesday...... We have our Sis Doreen, Sis Shirley and Sis Amy and not forgetting our Sis Ching Yin (from Tangkak but on loan to Seputeh Bhajan Unit???)... a very devoted sis and also joining us. She also join the New Year Celebration held in Puttarparthi on January 09.

RE : STUDY CIRCLE

Sai Ram to all,

I was always pondering and pondering when can we start the Study Circle?....

At last with the encouragement from Bro. Govind, we have cross the difficult hurdle of starting the Study Cirles.... We have now dedicated devotees ..... Bro. Tommy and Sis Kee undertaking this task... of course with Bro. Ong Che Seng giving a helping hand.

We have so far touch on subjects like Service, Love, Filial Piety, Charity and the latest to be discussed will be Grace.

Surprisingly, most of the time we over-shot the allocated time... We seems to have alot of experiences to shares with one another. I have been asked to monitor the time allocated which I shall do so in the next Study Circle.

I wish to congratulate all of you for putting your precious time in doing your homework and downloading to us for our benefit. Many thanks also to Sis Sugun and her friends for participating.

Appended below you can read the correspondence between our Tangkak Bhajan Unit and Bro. Govind.. Many thanks again to our Bro. Govind for your kind guidance and encouragement.

Could you kindly let me know if your Bhajan Unit has already started a Weekly/Monthly Study Circle pls. Parent Centres should monitor the situation and help Bhajan Units.

If Bhajan Units still have problems, kindly let me know. I will come and help you demonstrate how to start/conduct a Study Circle.

Thank you & Jai Sai Ram.

With Love,
Govind
