RHB Bank, Damansara Jaya Branch - Thank You For Helping The Yushu Earthquake Victims


Yesterday (19 April) morning I was at RHB Bank, Damansara Jaya to send the first batch of money to Minam Rinpoche for the Yushu Earthquake victims. Since Rinpoche has requested that I send by Western Union, I enquired on the commission that the bank charges and found that it was too exhorbitantly high. For RM20,000 the charge is around RM880 so for RM40,000 I will have to pay RM1700 plus. They advised me to send by TT which will take 2 days to reach.

I filled in the necessary forms and submitted it to the person attending to me. In less than 10 minutes everything was done. Left the bank with the carbon copy of the TT form. Whilst in the car, I took out the carbon copy form and tears filled my eyes. RHB has given me a special rate. Because of that the people of Yushu will have more money. Thank you RHB Bank !!!!!!

Yushu Earthquake -Darkness, the darkest hour


Everyday as night falls I go about like a zombie. My heart aches and reaches the people in Yushu as they prepare for another bitter cold night. Our friends in Yushu are brazing the cold at night and here as we lay in bed, we turn on our air conditioner and at the same time cuddle up in our warm duvet. Isn't that an irony?

Many people have responded to this urgent cry but many are still nonchalant to this situation. It is made more sorrowful when you hear friends talking about this unfortunate event as a great conversational topic and disdaining others of their empathy for the people of Yushu.

I can no longer be a judge of who is what, as I wrap myself in spreading the plight of the Yushu-ians.

Yushu Earthquake


I received an early morning call from a friend asking me to check if Minam Rinpoche is OK. I called and called and with each failed call, I trembled. I knew that with the earthquake, telecommunication will be disrupted but my fingers kept pressing the call sign on the mobile. I did not give up, I persisted. Through my muddled mind a little spark emerged. I searched for Rinpoche's Xining center and with splattering and very broken Chinese I bombarded Yang Lau Sir with loads of questions and I only needed him to tell me Rinpoche is OK. In that moment I found myself understanding the Chinese language - that Rinpoche is safe in Chengdu. I broke down, I wept, I sobbed, I cried.

Half an hour later I was on the line with Rinpoche. He informed that he is actually in Shanghai and not Chengdu (anywhere it does not matter). He is making arrangement to go back to Yushu tomorrow and is not sure if it can be done as flights are fully booked and the airport in Yushu is not passable to traffic. Two members of his family perished. Other than that he has no other news of anyone else or his library or monastery.

I launched a "Yushu Earthquake Fund" on Facebook. The response I got was really immense. People across the globe who did not even know I existed before came forward with words of kindness and in monetary contributions. Throughout the whole day I was a little fragile. The faces of the Tibetan people in Yushu, the scenic town embraced by mountains all round, the Yak Square where Tibetan men and women gather to sell their wares and for the daily gossips were video played in my mind. Children with rosy red cheeks and 'dragon' mucus running down their nostrils. Tashi Deleks filled the air. Will it be the same again when I next visit?

The Universal Laws


Law Of Abundance
In this universe there is no scarcity. Every element that exists will always exist. There is no limit to the resources of the human mind and soul. Only humankind creates lack.
Law Of Infinity
Everything exists in infinity, therefore what you need can be created with your thoughts without taking from others. What you manifest may come from dimensions of time and space that you cannot perceive of at present.

Law Of Limitations
There is no such thing as a limited income, only a limited outlook. Abundance comes in many forms and by several unexpected means.

Law Of Vacuum
The Universe abhors a vacuum. Whenever you make a space, it will create a motion to flow inwards. Make room for abundance and put out positive attractive thoughts.

Law Of Giving
To receive abundance, you must first be prepared to be generous but with wisdom.
Law Of Receiving
In order to receive, you must open yourself to the bounty of the universe. You must also allow others to make way for abundance in their own lives by giving to you.

Law Of Tithing
In giving something away, you create room in your life for new abundance to flow in. Give away your time, energy, knowledge out of unconditional love to create a space for abundance to return to you.

Enjoy!
