The Young and Old Prepare for Buddha’s Light Day

To prepare for the coming International Buddha’s Light Day, Cantonese class teacher Benny Wong began a rehearsal class for his students on 12th May.

They will be performing a Dharma song in Cantonese during the special day. Among the performers were YAD 1 President Jason Liu, YAD 2 President Danny Chen and several other YAD members. Memorising the lyrics and singing in Cantonese proved a difficult task for everyone, as they did not have a strong background in the language.

During practice, although they were faced with many obstacles, they were armed with the spirit of perseverance, and with that, they encouraged each other to try their best, so that they can produce their best performance during the event.

On another note, BLIA South Island North One Sub-Chapter President, Mrs. Yang, led her team of six in preparing a performance for the event. Since 9th May, they had already begun preparing their preparations. They selected a well-known Fo Guang Shan song as their performance, in hope that the members will adopt Fo Guang Shan’s spirit while practicing.
