In line with Yuen Zi Chia's
We love to Share and Care, PBHP frequently
made trips to visit old folks home, handicapped children. In time of need,
PBHP also conducted blood donation. |
| Dhamma Youth Camps (DYC) These camps are to promote Buddhism to the youths. Some participants
came from another state to participate. Note: Due to the space limit, the
DYC committee members had the rights to accept/reject the applications. As
for the record, PBHP had not received non-Malaysians as participants. The
camps mostly held in November and December, after the major school exams.
And they were held for a period of 5 to 6 days.
In these camps, the youths not only learn about Buddhism, but also
leadership and teamwork. It was not all day Dhamma talk and meditation
stuffs, but mix with entertainment like Karaoke OK competition, Talent
Nite and some telematch. In addition, they were brought to the nearby Old
Folks Home to visit and entertain the elderly people.
During the Talent Nite, they will stage a play based on Dhamma. There
was a stage depicting the realms of existence such as the Hungry ghost
realm, Animal realm. They recently staged a play entitled Buddha's
Lifetime during the Wesak 2000.Click here to

Below are some of the past DYC and their themes and hymns:

Buddha My Guide, Dhamma My
Light
Lyrics by: Teoh Kean Lip
Music by: Seow Shi Ling & Ong Sing Yee
Music arrangement: Ong Sing Yee
Kara by: Seow Shi Ling
|
Sometimes the world
can get you down
It's hard to see things clearly
All your smiles turn to frown
All thoughts you think bitterly.
Sometimes the night may seem
so long
And morning seems so far away
You feel like you don't belong
And wish you could run away
Chorus:
Let the Buddha be your Guide
Let Him be your Light
Let the Dhamma be your Guide
Let it be your Light
Let the Buddha be your Guide
Let the Dhamma be your Light
In the Buddha and Dhamma, we
have faith
Don't you ever think of
giving up
The Gem that you have inside
Don't you ever think of giving up
For the pain will subside.
Don't you ever think of giving
up
The search for Enlightenment
For eventually, it will be found.
The joy we feel is truly
great. |

Right Vision, Good Action
Lyrics by Teoh Kian Lip
Music by Tan Lee Yew
Kara by Quah Say Cheow
|
The
world is made of everything
And everything makes the world we live in
In ignorance we live
But with Dhamma Light we know
That we are all friends in Samsara
There is
beauty in all of us
A beauty only few can see and touch
In the darkness we dwell
But with Dhamma Light we see
That we are all friends in Samsara
Chorus:
Right Vision...we need this so dearly
Have a heart that can see
The right from the wrong and good from bad
Good Action...to the unfortunate once
Free your mind
And truth will follow with no more sorrow
The stars
shine their brightest at night
We'll succeed if we try with all our might
To wash away the dust
Let us strive on hand in hand
With the Buddha's guide together we can

Livingly Virtuously, Acting Mindfully
Lyrics: Teoh Kian Lip
Music: Tan Lee Yew
Music arrangement: Terry Kumar |
There
is a light on the horizon
It's the starting of a new day
Come and seize the moment
Before it slips away
There is so
much living to do
Forget the past and future
Come and see the rainbow
Before it disappears
Life is
dear and short
Now is all we've got
Let us all practise the Dhamma
Living Virtuously, Acting Minfully
Chorus:
We share in the beauty of life
In the light of Dhamma
Together we strive
We share in the ocean of tears
In the light of Dhamma
1. We have no fears
2. We all have no fears
Life is
uncertain
Now is all we've got
Live with virtue and mindfulness
Together we strive for happiness |

Mind Matters, Love Conquers
Lyrics: Teoh Kian Lip
Music by: Tan Lee Yew
Music arrangement: Tan Kean Gee |
Great
is the power of the mind
But it must be guided well
With the light of the Triple Gem
Open our mind and heart
We all have to love
And to see things as they are
Chorus:
Let love grow
And let the anger go
Conquer hate
Let us live in peace and harmony
oh...
Oh! Mind matters and love conquers
Thoughts
are created by the mind
Let's fill the thoughts with love
For all living beings
Be they wealthy or poor
Whether little or old
Be they wise or ignorant
Boundless
is the love shown by
Lord Buddha
He's really holy and wise
Let us all follow His teachings
To purify our minds
To have love in our hearts
'cause Mind Matters, Love Conquers
Let our
love shine throughout the world |

Walk the Dhamma Way
Lyrics: Suellen Teoh
Music by: Hor Su Wei, Hor Sue Lin and Mary Hor |
In
the still of night
The world is sleeping peacefully
In the sky little friendly stars
Twinkle merrily
How fragrant are the blossoms offered
To the Blessed One
Serenade Lord Buddha in all His glory
Chorus:
Sorrow no more
Let the true Buddhas in us shine thru
Let not our minds be lost in Samsara
It's true that life is not always that easy
But keep on trying
We only have to Walk the Dhamma Way
Dawn is
breaking
Sunny rays send darkness on the run
Like the sun the Dhamma brings
Light and Truth to our lives
Let us not sleep the day away!
Wake up and listen now
The voice of Buddha echoes
through the land |

Reaching Out, Looking In
Lyrics: Wendy Hor and Penny Hor
Music: Hor Su Wei and Mary Hor
Music arrangement: Hor Sue Lin |
We
care, we give and share
With all the faith we have
Let Buddha be the light
That dispels ignorance
Let's hold
each other's hands
In unity we stand
With harmony we strive
May Dhamma be our guide
Chorus:
Open our hearts and mind
Look in, and try to find
In this wheel of life...
Reach out and lend a hand
Look in, see the blessed Path
There's peace within our
hearts... |
