I was blog-hopping and i went to TingZhen's blog, a QSN just like me from CHTTDH (崇华堂道德会). She wrote it after attending the class.
青少年培育班
another gathering held at my house. Uncle showed us DVD, which consist of -
#1 'Natural' Disasters, --- Tsunami, Hurricane, Earthquake, Blazing town/Forest Fire. people get washed away, blown away, trapped under debris, burnt in flames. corpses? everywhere. some pictures of casualties are gruesome, i must admit.
#2 Slaughterfarms --- How are the animals being killed / skinned / chopped by axes. I HATE THE BEASTS WHO SLAUGHTERED THEM! !#!*(~@~*&%!%&@*&# Bloody heartless creatures! as i watched, i feel like dragging them out from the screen and treat them the way they treated the animals. *aren't animals living things too? don't they have the rights to live? for non-vegetarians, i doubt you dare to touch meat after watching all these.
#3 Abortion & Viruses --- SARS / Bird Flu Abortion is grotesque. so please be clear-minded at all times. Viruses? people, it's obvious that they(viruses) originated from animals. so if you don't wanna die at such young age, consume less / NO meat.
this 培育班 is certainly a Wake Up Call. i feel blessed to live in Singapore, --free from natural disasters *however not from VIRUSES* & soooo extreeeeeemely grateful for being fated to be a Vegetarian. who says vegetarians only eat vegetables? only pea-brain people think this way. meat doesn't tempt me at all, cause you're eating yourself indirectly. Laomucibei :D
I was so inspired by what she wrote. And i totally agree with the last paragraph she wrote,
"who says vegetarians only eat vegetables? only pea-brain people think this way."
I love the above sentence, basically it's because some of my friends always think that i only eat vegetables as a vegetarian. And definitely, i'd viewed those videos before. You'll really cry after watching those videos.
We're all grateful that we're Vegetarians since young. And currently, i'm preparing for my after-bxb-programme. My topic will be on Kshitigarbha Bodhisattva-地藏王菩薩. Maybe i should show you guys the video i'll be presenting to my banyuans this coming sunday.

Part 1
Part 2
So please, stop telling me how nice meat taste like to you. I'm a vegetarian and that's it. I'm a part of 崇华堂道德会 青少年班, and will still be in 崇华堂道德会 for the rest of my life, as well for my life partner and children in the future. It's not a religion, but a belief (信仰).
I'd experiences of how others dislike my belief. It wasnt a good feeling to be disliked because of such things. Trust me, i was utterly sad when i experienced such incidents not long ago.
I also had experience where my friends were asking me why i choose to let go off the chance to eat meat at such a young age. They were always telling me to try meat and such. But what for? I really dont understand. The more they ask or say, the more disappointing i will feel. I've my choice of food and i chose to be a vegetarian. I'm grateful that i'm born in a vegetarian family and love being a vegetarian, so stop "tempting" me, it doesnt work on me.
I have 14 cousins, out of 21, who are vegetarians since they were born. I have 6 aunts+uncles, out of 14, who are vegetarians as well.
This Saturday, 点传师慈勉 at TH and i'm definitely going. This year end, trip to Taiwan 神威道场. I'm going as well.
I have my very own family plus i have this big family.
This is all our name tags. Find my name tag with my name on it. =D
One of them is me.
It would be fun if you can find me. (click for bigger view)
