Secret donor gives $40k monthly to Buddhist Lodge

Your write good poetry

Faith is that quality which enables us to believe what we know to be untrue.The fact that a believer is happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than the fact than a drunken man is happier than a sober one.


It is a curious thing that every creed promises a paradise which will be absolutely uninhabitable for anyone of civilized taste.

Religion is the idol of the mob, it adores everything it does not understand

Mr. Lee Bock Guan also stays there at SBL.

He has signed up his service there for life after he recovered from terminal cancer, many years ago.

if you go down to Singapore Buddhist Lodge, you will see Lee Bock Guan walking around in slippers. He eats only at SBL (free meals) and it is almost impossible to invite him out for meals at restaurants because he knows loose tongues like myo539 starts wagging.

as Buddhist organisations go, SBL is quite forward thinking with all the free food and everything. I think it is the only entity in Singapore that gives free food daily without end.

This temple! Give money away indiscriminate one! KNN last time on TV show they give to evangel groups. And the knn evangelist say on TV is they want get mre volunteer to spread their faith!

CCB. Money get from temple don't want say, just keep tell people they help their entity help one.

Not I not agree can give money for people to help people. But those who get the temple money has a wrong motive when using temple money!

thats not a poetry dude , dont you think what i wrote make sense ?

want to hear more ? The history of saints is mainly the history of insane people.
if you think again ,
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylums shows that faith does not prove anything. does it make some sense to you ? Faith may be defined briefly as an illogical belief in the occurrence of the improbable.... A man full of faith is simply one who has lost (or never had) the capacity for clear & realistic thought. He is not a mere ass: he is actually ill. and i cannot believe in a God who wants to be praised all the time.



Where knowledge ends, religion begins.......................

You see, people Buddhist Lodge can unreservedly give free daily vegetarian food to poor and hungry people and free bursaries to needy students of all faiths. Even Malay and Indian students can
apply from them.

What about you Christians? You only care about yourselves, your own same-same religious believers, and insult fellow Sporns of all other faiths in your fucking cell group discussions.

You spastic Christian people are dogs with no sense of shame seriously, and should take a leaf out of their book!

<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->FOR three years, an anonymous devotee has been secretly dropping off wads of cash every month at the Singapore Buddhist Lodge in River Valley.
Nobody knows who he - or she - is, what he does, or even how tall or short he is.
The only mark of identification is his donation: Four or five wads of folded $1,000 bills, adding up to $40,000 or $50,000 - every month.
On Sunday morning, staff at the Lodge found the contribution as the temple in Kim Yam Road opened to its followers.
As in previous drop-offs, the money lay at the bottom of the metal donation box in front of a 3m-tall Buddha statue in the temple kitchen.
Four separate bundles added up to $47,000.
The chairman of the Lodge, Mr Lee Bock Guan, said he believes the donations come from one person.
'You know it is the same person, because the notes always come in the same way, in four or five neat bundles,' said Mr Lee.
'Separate donations, the notes are usually loose.'
After three years, that is roughly $1.5 million in cold, hard cash - a big-hearted amount, more so in this recession.
A small security camera eyes the donation box but Mr Lee said the Lodge has no plans to discover the mysterious donor's identity.
He said: 'The donor could have written a cheque. By donating in cash, he prefers to be unknown.
'We thank this person but will not try to find out who he is.'
The Singapore Buddhist Lodge serves more than 1,000 free meals daily and up to 6,000 on weekends.
It spends $210,000 a month on its daily buffet and plans to spend more, as more people come forward for financial help. This year, the group also increased its education bursary budget from $1 million to $1.2 million, even as its donations have dipped by about 20 per cent. It has about $10 million in reserves.[/QUOTE]

Go and eat with them by any means but if you could spared a few bucks, drop them into their donation boxes.

I fully support donation for meal that is without meat. which means there is no killing involved.

I wonder where is the sinkie who preach about God but still eat meat. I wonder if Jesus told him that HE hates animal. But Jesus is a saint, he should love animals. BUt why HE who loves animals and yet that sinkie worshipper still eat meat?

Care to explain? I thought the bible tell thems to have plants as food only?

Being Atheist is a Concept, so is being Religious.

If no belief in Gods exists then Atheist also will not exists.
And vice versa, if all believe in God, where is the atheist?

Together they made a difference.
But they are really dependant on each other.

then , you are saved...i thought religions like to create their own ? so why not i start with my own and then i can become a pope ...i could make a good pope , you know ? when im back in singapore i will recruit you as a " pestor " then i can share $ with you from our stupid devotees ..on ?

 

[huahero]

the one who donates $40k monthly should has his own reason. May be becos of some sins he has commited? May be he is an idiot, wants to do good deeds but does not know wat to do? Open your eyes, you may be amazed so many people need helps and they are in such desperated condition. Being old, poor and sick and not able to die is the worst suffering.

Collecting good Karma when helping others.

Its a bloody farce. Go to Hell all these sh!t heads I'm an atheist and more holy than most of these Xtains fundamentalists. In the first place, alot of these hardcore Xtians evangelists play childish mind games, insult you by telling that your are "impure" and use alot of guilt trips with you telling you , you have "sinned" in the first place. Then offer you a "way out " by playing on your fears by telling you about hell if you do not convert. Then after converting they "extort" money from you by asking you to tithe every month and if you don't you do not get into his "great lord" good books. The money and tithe goes towards paying the pastors Mercs, condos etc. Give me a break!!!! Look at it truthfully and don't tell me that's it not ALL a big con job or ponzi scheme??? In the first place, I have never sinned aT ALL. you Xtians have sinned that's your problem , period. definetly not my probelm. I always tell them I am going to heaven even when I do not believe in their religion. It always p!sses them off. There is no offence in saying or believing in atheism. In fact I find it more healthy and wholesome. I find it very vulgar, outright rude and offensive when some young punk I meet the first time along the street telling me I have "sinned" when I ask them in what sense I have??? Save all the sh!tty childish mind games and guilt trips for the gullible ones. in fcat, I tell them alot of the world troubles/wars are due to them and they definitely have sinned. That's why alot of intellectuals or scientists in the west are atheist or agnostic.

It is not easy to manage charity in a righteous way. It is difficult to find someone with a good heart nowadays to run such an organisation. Even if someone has such a good intention in the beginning, but as more donation (=$) comes in there is no guarantee that this person will not have a change of heart. Good and evil is just separated by a thin fine line.

Good and evil is just separated by a thin fine line. Yes, only if the person is a sinkie.
