Buddhist Conference 2554 (I)

Nice conference! Great day where buddhist from different temples and walks of life gathers together to talk and discuss on happiness :) Theme of the conference is call "Creating Happiness in Here and Now."

It is a collaboration from Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho temple, Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery, Cheng Beng Buddhist Society, Mangala Vihara, Poh Ming Tse and many other buddhist from various buddhist groups like Firefly mission, Amitabha Buddhist Centre, Buddhist Library and Singapore Buddhist Mission.

All thanks to Bro Soon Sheng for helping me to acquire the tickets and so nice to see friends like Heidi, xiao feng & bf and Joyce too!! Ya also saw uncle Michael also!!

Speakers then was all prominent and respected figures of their field. And the dim-witted me trying my greatest effort to jot down notes just like a student :)

Anyway I will try to share what I manage to catch in the upcoming series of post of the conference. Pardon for being too slow in sharing as there is really too much to share :)

All in all, the whole hall was filled with people and the volunteers alone i think is more than 50 i think. As from the organiser, Dharma in Action, this is their 3rd large scale project following Buddhist Youth Conference and Buddhist film fest.

This conference in fact lasted since Vesak day till yesterday with series of talk on the theme Happiness.

Stay tuned to part (II)!
