Sometimes when we started something , we don’t know how long we could maintain it. Back in 2009, when the first reunion camp was carry out, we never thought of whether it would be a second or third one.I think if we give that a thought , perhaps we won’t start the first one. That is the reason why we never mentioned it as annual camp , something that we must have every year. But good to see that since the first camp, the second one follow in 2010 , and now the third one in 2011.

This year camp we want to talk about love so… “ let love blossom in our heart “ is the theme and if possible we want to use a different approach to carry out the talk. At the moment, work is still in progress…. so we do not know what the final product is going to be like. Perhaps a delicious cake and with one bite you could feel the love is in the air ? Not sure, as all are subject to anicca clause. Oh ya (almost forget)… this year we have a children camp , subcontracted to a children development center to plan and carry out. It is running concurrently with the reunion camp but under their own program and activity. So mark your calendar and get ready for the 3^rd PPB USM Reunion Dharma Camp !!

Date : 26 ~ 28, Nov , 2011 - Sat , Sun & Mon

( Monday is a holiday for awal Muharam)

Venue : Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary , Taiping

We have speaker like Ven. Kai Bao from Mt. Eriskin (Bai Yun San) , Ven. Aggacitta ( SBS ) and Ven. Hui Nghi all the way from far far away ;-)

Working toward USM PPB Alumni….

Restarting, reviving, retrieving or whatever words deem suitable, a group of people are working on it which hopefully can benefit its member. It started because of someone thought (maybe somewhere and someone else too had occurred the similar thought) to revive the Alumni. Therefore, a slot was allocated during the 2nd ex USM PPB Reunion Dharma Camp 2010 to discuss about whether do we need alumni or not?. The verdict is yes, maybe, perhaps and non say no (absolutely). So we moved on from the 1st discussion (during camp) to the recently 3rd discussion. In between these people asked for specialist advice – the teacher – what should be alumni objective and where to draw a line. Drawing a line is because we do not wish to become another organization that will use up the resources which were already very limited. Three objectives for alumni to exist were drawn up as following;

1) To encourage member to continue learning and cultivating the dharma.
2) To provide information and networking platform for dharma learning and cultivation.
3) To foster warm fellowship among members.

If you have any suggestion or comment, please write to me / the undersigned.
