Tzu Ching Camp (Day 2)

We woke up at 4.45 am. This is the earliest time I ever woke up in my entire life. Wow...
After brushing my teeth and wash my face, we went to the hall for the 1st activity today-Jing Si Chen Yu. All of us sit down quietly in the hall and listen to Master Zhen Yuan talking about life. It was a very meaningful talk and although the Master is far away in Taiwan we feel that she was just right beside us, teaching us the way to be a better person. Then, we listen to the assembly of the volunteers of Tzu Chi, live from Taiwan. In the assembly, we can listen to different stories form the volunteers on what have they done lately. It is a very interesting experience as none of us can really see this program live before. Then, we have the breakfast.
After filling up our stomach, we start our next activity. This time we are very lucky because the organizer had invited 4 very "heavyweight" shi gu and shi jie to give us a talk.
The 1st 2 talks are about how the Tzu Ching activity is done in Taiwan's university. However it think it is not so practical in Malaysia because most of our activities here are done underground because the Uni wont let us start up a club. A sad situation but this will not stop us...We will try our best to make sure more of our friends know abt us and willing to join our activities...Hahahaha...
Next, we hear about the condition in Shi Chuan and Myanmar and how the Tzu Chi volunteer is helping them. We are really touched by the volunteers' spirit. They travel long distance and all the expenses they must pay it themselves. But that will not stop them from helping the others and try to make the life better. If I had the chance, one day I will like to follow their foot steps and travel to places where people need help to offer them some aids.
Then, we listen about an activity called 晨钟起,熏法香. This activity encourage us to wake up early everyday to listen to Master Zhen Yuan's teaching and share with our friends what we learn. I was quite suprised that even the shi gu who didnt know how to use computer at the 1st place, will learn to use it just to listen to the Master's teaching. If shi gu can do it,why I cant. So I decided to start 晨钟起,熏法香 with my friends.
Before dinner, we have a conversation between all the 联络人from all the Uni that take parts in this camp. They are Uni from around KL,Malacca, Sabah and Sarawak. We discuss with the xue chang xue jie the problems we face and find ways to solve it. We also have the chance to learn many things from the experienced senior on how to conduct activity. In my opinion, the time for this activity is too short and there are still many things that we will like to discuss. I really hope we will have the opportunity to do so in the future.
After dinner, we have another discussion and sharing session. This time the session is done with our group members and our 队辅妈妈. We talked about our experience and our feeling through Tzu Chi. Our 队辅妈妈 is a very experience member and she told us many things that we can apply in the future either in Tzu Chi or in the society. Listening her experience is like going through a lecture form a great professor. Really wanna thanks her for her inspiring sharing.
This is all briefly how the day went on.
