Newsletter for 2nd ex-PPBUSM Reunion Dhamma Camp 2010
Dear friends of PPB USM,
It has been a year since the 1st reunion camp in 2009. This year 2010, we are glad that the 2nd reunion Dhamma camp is still possible and it will be held at Selayang Buddhist Association, KL from 27-29 Aug 2010. This year camp theme is still the same " Each heart beats toward the Dhamma, Each hand holds a Kalyana Mitra " because the committee find that it is better to continue with the same theme rather than change it every year ( actually we got this funny idea for the theme ..one Malaysia one Buddhist )
The objective :
i) Get together to facilitate & create awareness – “Reunion, Reconnect & Revitalise the cultivation of Dhamma in daily life”.
ii) Peer group support and to foster closer relationship among Kalyana Mitra
iii) To strengthen the Dhamma and increase cultivation practice in daily working life
Later we will upload the application form for you to fill in / register and the applicants must be an Ex-PPB USM member. The organising committees will inform you if you have succeeded in securing a place for the camp. The fee is Rm 50 per person and closing date for the application is July 31, 2010.
May you find your way to this camp :-) ...Sadhu sadhu sadhu.

In the making of ...2nd Ex-PPB USM Reunion camp
Just as our past & present teachers have tirelessly spreading the Teaching, we too can play our part if not in a BIG circle but in a smaller circle we are in. And I believe we are all doing this same thing maybe in different degree or way.
I would like to think we are like the beachcomber - a person who searches beaches for valuable things. I hope each and everyone will find his/her treasure in this 2nd camp. As the famous phrase said "Seek and you shall find", so in this case "come and see" because the treasure is to be realized by oneself.
May the begining of the thought until the actual carry out of this 2nd camp bring more happiness and truth to all our friends and family (beings) around us. May all be well and happy.

Anumodana!
**Quote **
Anumodana is a difficult word to translate into English. Literally, it means "rejoicing together," but it can also mean approval and encouragement.
The tradition of Buddhist monks' giving anumodana to donors of food and other requisites goes back to the time of the Buddha.
**unquote **
I thought maybe I should say my Anumodana to all the people that have helped in organizing or going to participate in this camp. I know it is not easy to organize one, but I wish for everyone that help in organizing this camp will be blessed with a happy mind, lighter heart, and with more peace and joy. Also I know, those that have signed up for this camp have good intention, may it for the benefit of themselves/others or for the support for this camp. For those that can’t make it, still considering , still thinking, … whatever your choice is, may it benefit you utmost. I hope non of us will have negative feeling whether you join or not join for this camp.
We all still have long road to travel together in the future. May you all be well and happy.
Daanañca peyya-vajjañca..."
Generosity, kind words, beneficial action,
And treating all consistently,
in line with what each deserves:
These bonds of fellowship (function) in the world
like the linchpin in a moving cart.
Now, if these bonds of fellowship were lacking,
A mother would not receive
the honor & respect owed by her child,
Nor would a father receive
what his child owes him.
But because the wise
show regard for these bonds of fellowship,
They achieve greatness and are praised.
Note: These verses are from the Sangaha-vatthu Sutta (Discourse on the Bonds of Fellowship), Anguttara Nikaya IV.32.
