No ads, no regular uploading, all organic reach. Only one me in front of a IPhone 6, sprouting a lorry-full of life’s principles.

My videos are edited versions of my FB Lives. Thank you to the 100+ subscribers and the 5400+ views.

Every little victory that we fought for is a worthy reminder to ourselves: Just what are we persevering for?

I fell in love with Chanel earrings many years ago, but was too debt-ridden to afford them. So I stood for a very long time in front of the shop window at Ngee Ann City. I remembered my Grandmaster’s teachings and there and then, did an offering practice.

Early this year, a client gifted me with this pair of Chanel earrings, my very first pair of Chanel earrings.

She said she wanted to thank me for analysing her daughters’ Bazi two years ago. She adhered to my recommendations, which greatly helped her elder daughter in her O and A-Levels exams. When her child successfully enrolled in the TOP junior college I recommended, both my client and her daughter were surprised that her daughter’s studies improved. Most importantly, her daughter was also happy studying there.

In my memory, there are several ways in how my clients thank me when they get results from my recommendations. They give me another red packet, offered to take photos of me (from a client who is a professional photographer), write me a testimonial, give me food or other little presents etc.

This lady client observed from my Facebook that I often wore different earrings. She also remembered I wrote an article on Chanel watches some years ago.

She told me it was her first time walking into the Chanel store at Ngee Ann City, and her sole purpose was to buy me these earrings. In that split second, I was in awe of the amazing powers of True Buddha Tantric Dharma!

Last week, a reader PM me, wanting to make a donation in my name. She asked me to choose a charity that I wished to support. After reading my shared post on 14 March, she was saddened to know that I had to take on the negative karma of my clients. She wanted to help me out by donating money for me and replenish my tank of good fortune.

The message wasn’t a long one but I read it several times. I was truly moved by her gesture.

I didn’t accept the kind intention of the reader. I felt that I did not contribute anything to her, to deserve the “emolument”. Secondly, the person who tied the bell on the neck of the tiger should be the one taking it down. It was on my own free will that I took up this job. I should also be the one to shoulder its karmic weight and know how to resolve it.

While donations can increase one’s good fortune, they are not sufficient to eradicate negative karma.

You know what is the most difficult thing in this mortal world?

To win the hearts of people.

The second most difficult thing will be to have people wanting to fork out money for you. 😄

I can speak ok, I can write ok. My video editing skills are also just passable.

There aren’t many things that I like. I mainly speak and write about Dharma, Chinese Metaphysics and a bunch of life theories. If all these have yet to bore you, I really have Amitabha Buddha to thank for.

Some people lived till 80 years, while others lived the same year 80 times.

I have had fear and hesitations. I had cried and wanted to give up. But I soldiered on because I needed a reason to stop doubting myself.

Thank you to you, for not despising me more than myself, and allowing me to be me.

Whether it was just one line of my writing that you read, or that one minute of video that you watched, I am happy and thankful to have won your heart in that one moment.

If I have to lose you, winning the world will mean nothing to me.

May there be more wonderful times of us striving together ahead, towards kindness, towards betterment.

p.s. Winners of this set of numbers, please don’t forget to notify me. 😘
