FGS Auckland shared 3G4G values with Uxbridge Guides
On the evening of 29th August 2022, FGS Auckland was cordially invited to Uxbridge Guides to share the 3G4G values with nearly 30 girl guides, aged 9 to 12. Venerable Nengchang, Vicky Han and BLIA YAD Howard Wang were attended and led the sharing session. Activities includes watch the movie of The Life of the Buddha, meditation experience and brainstorm The Three Acts of Goodness and Four Givings (3G4G) in their daily lives.
The Temple just like a petrol station to recharge, an art gallery to cultivate temperament, a school to learn to be a better person and a cafe to taste the delicious and healthy vegetarian food, in the sharing of Howard. After enjoyed the movie of the Buddha, he further explained the way of Middle Path just like a string instrument that would not make any sound whenever it is too tight nor too loose. In order to achieve continuous improvement in our life, he encourages everyone to keep a balance between study and play.
Venerable Nengchang led the Girl Guide to experience the Chantangle activity and remind all to be nice to each other. Participants enthusiastically shared their own ways of practicing the 3G4G in their life. They became self-aware through the activity and were motivated to do good deeds right now.
Guide leader Cheryl Snowden shared that, in the past the girls rarely sit quietly during the session but today they were fully focus. As the 3G4G values is similar to the Girl Guides group's teaching of Be Kind, Be Truthful. They look forward to visit the Temple and eager to participate in various interesting activities such as incense and light offering, strike the wishing bell and more.
Cheryl appreciate the Temple team for the informative and enthusiastic sharing that spread the seeds of goodness in everyone's heart. The Girl Guides are inspired by the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha and vow to be a helpful and responsible person by applying the good values learned such as equality and respect in their daily lives.
