Lasallian Encounter 2015 - La Salle Centre Ipoh

-


I attended Lasallian Encounter at La Salle Centre – Ipoh on 31/5 to 2/6. About 32 participants turned up who were all Catholics and students of different La Salle schools in Malaysia and Singapore. Nine Brothers were present in this programme. Two Brothers from SJI and SJI-I Singapore (Brothers John Fernando and Kelvin Tan), two Brothers from the Philippines (Brothers Arian Lopez and Joseph), one Brother from SFI Melaka (Brother Michael Kum), two Brothers from Sabah (Brother Egbertus and myself), and two Brothers from Ipoh Community (Brothers Vincent and Matthew Bay). Also present two teachers accompanying their students, they were from St Paul – Seremban and La Salle – Kota Kinabalu.

Participants were given perspective about the Brothers’ life. Three areas were covered: Faith, Service and Community. During the programme they did some role plays, games and presentation facilitated either by the Brothers or staffs from La Salle Centre. They enjoyed most of the activities and shared many moments of joy in the Lasallian spirit.

My observation is that todays’ young people are very much craving for moments of “appreciation”. There is a great need of medium where they can show up their identity and “energy”, and more importantly, surrounded by creative environment.  They are also looking for "a-ha stuffs" which can only be created by those who love to be "submitted and exposed" to the new things. I have to learn this new trend.

It’s odd that after thousands of years of great spiritual example and literature we have to remind ourselves that spirituality is to be found in everyday life. The world’s sacred poetry, ritual, prayer, and art are filled with images of incarnated divinity, or the eternity that lies, admittedly sometimes hidden, in the temporal, or the transpersonal that animates our personal lives. Hundreds of times painters have taken up theme of the “Annunciation” and have pictured that moment, that eternal moment that is in all our lives, when the angel evident in Tibetan tangkas and in Indian sculptures and when William Blake says, “Eternity is in love with the production of time.” (Thomas Moore) So.... Spirituality is a mistery in the terms that it is difficult to logically explain instead it is a concept to be experienced. This life offers time to think about it through a number of moments. The high degree of spirituality understanding could be found in the perception of consciousness towards li

A NEW DAY

It is always in a new day when you start to look at something new. To meet people out there some might be a challenge - the chemistry! Those who would like to say that. That suddenly you can't get along with someone when you feel strange, worry and uncomfortable. I might not be used to look at their eyes, or deep inside down there (in myself) I could not find my peace. If you have peace inside then your peace outside should be exposed in natural way. However, things may be found different. Again, in a natural way the connection is just a matter of click. And, the complete peace happens. The laughter and all the sweetness turn up. Let the natural way be the guidance. Flow as it is with no single interruption or personal agenda. Why? there is no other way than being the best for yourself for the entire of your life. Don't even say "regret" for the decision you have made. You treasure it! Some say about "the process rather than result". Let pieces of yo
