Default Buddhist Lodge use $10 mil reserves to provide free food for poor
What about Sitoh YP and Chiku Low? No free breakfast and abalone porridge from them?

Like that top guy at Buddhist Lodge said, they will not stop extending help to those that are really in need. They won't not stop because of some of these greedy people.

But. the Buddhist Lodge being a Buddhist organization, passion, compassion, empathy, and karma are the way of life. If these greedy people wake up one day and start to contribute positively, the Buddhist Lodge has done something great.

If not, when these greedy people delve further they are accumulating or sowing the bad karmic seeds. It is not important whether these greedy people believe or not, what comes around goes around. Trust me, they will be overwhelmed..... I have seen these repeating itself over and over again.

Of course, when help is extended, they are not asking for any return unlike the PAP.

Dun bother to explain these to VIBGYOR.... Or, if VIBGYOR is reading this... Dun waste your time ....

Have fun with your pet dog - spelt right to left......

无量寿佛!

That's compassion indeed!

No high rise building stunt type of fundraiser that undermine the confidence of the populace in charities. This is real charity.

And please if you can afford your meals leave the space for the truly desperate.

If you don't help your fellow man who will be there to help you when your need arises?

Only when oppositions are voted in, we will see pap kneeling down to serve the community abalone porridge. Otherwsie, pap will just stare into the sky when you approach them for help. Hougang people know this bribery very well.

do a little bit of thing, want to hao lian so much!

there are so many Christian Organisations around the world do so much and yet have little publicity.

if you do it for your own vanity, God dislikes.
Remember salvation by work is not enough!

There must be faith!
Can you understand the MIND of GOD?

As many of us know that Govt is behind most of the religions committee members, and it is nothing new most vote comes from these religion govt supporters.

The question is, will Lee Bock Guan ask to return favor to vote for PAP?

God dislikes men worshipping idols carved out by men.

God dislikes men elevation themselves above God.

God dislikes men self glorification.

Read the bible, to try to understand Him.
Buddhism is not about idol worshipping. Please understand that.

FYI, you don't have to read the bible to try to understand Him. HE should already be in your heart.
