Hey UBA ^^ it was really fun meeting you all yesterday! :D Yesterday when I was sharing about Buddhism Nick and I both brought up that there is somewhat of a stereotype of Buddhists just sitting around and meditating, and not doing much. I also shared about the parent organization of my collegiate org (Tzu Ching) and how the founder Dharma Master Cheng Yen has taken Buddhism in action in a way that I feel like I did not explain very well; I’m sharing this video of one of Dharma Master Cheng Yen’s daily talks in the hopes that y’all can see where I’m coming from. goo.gl/hzhJOx I’m really excited about UBA and can’t wait to learn more from y’all! Some translations that werent included in the video (sorry, for my rough translation!) 4:10 Ibu Sri Wahyuni: “I’m very glad and grateful for our mutual love and sharing. Even though my income is not that much, but we also need to help each other. We need help, but there are still a lot of other people that need help too.” 6:08 Denise: “I’m really happy; this is the first time I’ve seen such an event. Your love from coming here to help these people; not only orphans and elders have been helped by you and gotten food, but they have also learned about what love really is; to help and contribute for each other.”
