Light Up Your Life


In conjunction with the coming Wesak Celebration, Taiping Insight Meditation Centre (TIMS) will be organizing its annual candle-lighting ceremony at Sasanarakkha Buddhist Sanctuary (SBS), here in Taiping. Other programmes include guided meditation by Ven. Aggacitta, Dhamma Show, sales of souvenirs, free distribution of Dhamma booklets, just to mention a few. Few donation counters will also be set up. Part of the collection will be channeled to the Cyclone Nargis Relief Fund while the excess will be used to finance the proposed TIMS Building Project.

Also not to be missed is the formal debut of SBS chanting box. Running on low powered batteries, this light-weighted cum portable mini box will make its official appearance during the Wesak celebration at SBS. Each consists of three recorded tracks, namely, Buddhanussati, Bojjhanga Sutta (see previous posts) and Sanghanussati. As to date, they are proposed not for sale but to be given away free for donation received. Proceeds will then be used to offset production cost, which approximates to RM6 per unit.

Those in or around Taiping on Sunday, 18th May (Wesak Eve) are most welcome to participate in the event. Gather at Hor Eeah shrine by 6pm for free 4WD transport uphill. See you there!
