菩提心要 - 零八年十月十三日和十四日 Puti - 13 and 14 Oct 08

爱洒的由来,为什么我们要人间菩萨大招生,因为爱的力量还不够。

Why do we go around our community introducing Tzu Chi and encouraging everybody to join us? This is because the influence of good is still not enough.

今天有个奇遇。下午补习结束时,正在安排下一次的补习日期,学生的母亲,陈太太问我是不是很忙,必须先查过记事簿还能定下日期。我回答是,因为慈济刚好有很多活动,便顺手与陈太太结缘了这一期的新加坡慈济双月刊。

I had a pleasant encounter this week. I was giving tuition that day and was fixing the date of the next session with the mother of my student, Mrs Tan. Mrs Tan asked me whether I am very busy this week because I answered her that I need to check my schedule before fixing the next session. I replied her yes, there is a lot of Tzu Chi activities coming along and gave her a copy of our latest Singapore Tzu Chi magazine.

回到家后,接到陈太太的电话。看过月刊后,陈太太想向慈济捐款。我是又惊讶又感动,不知道自己一个不经意的小举动,竟然会有那么好的结果。现在开始,我要时常警惕自己,要随时准备好介绍慈济。

When I reached home that day, I got a call from Mrs Tan. After reading our magazine, she would like to make a donation to Tzu Chi. I was very surprised and grateful for her kind gesture. Now I have to remind myself to be always ready to introduce Tzu Chi whenever the occasions arise.
