am helping out in the Basic Buddhism Course which is held every Sunday from
9am - 11am at Phor Khar See Temple for a duration of 9 months starting from
7 Mar 1999 to Nov 06 1999. I would like to share and interact with fellow
Dharma cultivators on insight meditation. Please feel free to email me.
It is a good effort to gather all the Singapore Dharma Web Page resources.
Keep it up! I would like to see this web site expand to encompass all
Buddhist resources found in Singapore.

Comments : I'm new to Buddhism -- only started to seriously read about
its teachings & philosophy in January 1999. Before this, I was a
non-religious person. After being exposed to the Buddhist teachings, I find
that they are very applicable to real life & I'm beginning to develop a
serious interest in Buddhism and how it can help me become a better
person.I'm very delighted to see this page that is dedicated to Buddhism in
Singapore. Great work! Keep it up!

Comments : I am Simin currently a JC 2 student. I got interest in
Buddhism through some good friends and mainly through IRC. I regret to say
that my busy studying schedule set me back in my buddhist acquirings but yet
I hope that I will still be able to propagate the dharma by daily
cultivation. This page is on the whole pretty well done but yet I hope
that maybe it can provide names and details of some youth groups that are
currently springing up numerously so that youths who are interested can
also try to contact these groups and learn more through friends' sharings
and encouragements. Thank u for the effort and progress more!

Comments : I got very interested in buddhism through a friend and is
presently in my A levels. It is on the whole, very well-rounded. I came a
few times and was pleased to see it updated regularly. I would like to see
activities of some major events being listed out. Maybe activities of youth
groups in Singapore. I find it hard to find a youth group in Singapore that
I would like to join. Better still, if it wouldn't inconvenient you, maybe,
there can be a short introduction about the youth groups and its nature.

Comments : It is a great page. Readers will get more benefit if basic
teachings are added in this page.The study and practice of basic teaching
of Buddha would make the reader realises the need for compassion and
loving-kindness and tolerance. Then only will it be possible to bring about
a better understanding among ourselves. To see body of the Buddha is to know
the mind of Buddha. I am pretty sure that you're aware of it. It's a nothing
but a word initiation.
