心经 Heart Sutra

观自在菩萨,行深般若波罗蜜多时。照见五蕴皆空,渡一切苦厄。舍利子,色不异空,空不异色,色即是空,空即是色,受想行识,亦复如是。舍利子,是诸法空相,不生不灭,不垢不净,不增不减。是故空中无色,无受想行识,无眼耳鼻舌身意,无色声香味触法,无眼界,乃至无意识界。无无明,亦无无明尽,乃至无老死,亦无老死尽。无苦集灭道,无智亦无得。以无所得故,菩提萨埵,依般若波罗蜜多故,心无罣礙,无罣礙故,无有恐怖,远离顚倒梦想,究竟涅槃。三世诸佛,依般若波罗蜜多故,得阿耨多罗三藐三菩提。故知般若波罗蜜多,是大神呪,是大明呪,是无上呪,是无等等呪,能除一切苦,眞实不虚。故说般若波罗蜜多呪,卽说呪曰:揭谛揭谛,波罗揭谛,波罗僧揭谛,菩提萨婆诃。

Giving Back

I believe what you give, you will get it back (karma). Good action leads to good results and vice versa. Thus, now I like to donate to Buddhist temples for dharma material printing. When I was a student with not much money, I used to take free Buddhist books and it helped to clarify my doubts.  It has helped me to overcome some challenges in life and I learnt to let go and not be so affected. Though I might be angry for a while but then I will let go after some time. Even though I forgive, I will never forget the lesson and will take necessary precaution.

Hopefully other people can benefit from these free books distribution. Every people have different ways of resolving problems. For me I like to read from the wise.  If you are upset, you can talk to someone and release your unhappiness. 

One must learn to ignore noise like people who spread false information or gossip. Treat them like noise. If not, do seek professional help.     

Life is a gift. All those unhappiness is also impermanent and temporary.  Redirect your attention that brings you joy. 

If you wish to donate to Buddhist temples, you can indicate the purpose for donating. For me, I indicate printing of dharma material to pay back what I took when I was just a student. I need to focus on practice with meditation after reading. Hopefully it can help people who find it useful and has affinity with Buddha's teaching.
