Propelling Putra Heights Buddhist Society (PHBS) to Greater Heights
The Putra Heights township welcomes the formation of its bonafide Buddhist Society in January 2010. The “kick-off event” was the inaugural Wesak Day Celebrations held at Putra Point recently. Buoyed by the warm & enthusiastic reception by the Putra Heights residents, where the membership tripled overnight, PHBS has been inspired to look for a shoplot premise in Putra Point to better live up to the tagline “Your Neighbourhood Buddhist Fellowship”.
The PHBS Sunday Dhamma School will be the focal point. PHBS are getting dedicated volunteers can contribute their expertise & experience to craft the appropriate curriculum & teaching methodology so that we can inculcate holistic Buddhist values to our next generation. We also hope their parents will make PHBS a spiritual beacon for their personal development as well.
PHBS needs DANA from good Samaritans to facilitate the renovation of the new PHBS centre at 11-1, Jalan Putra Mahkota 7/8C (Attachment 1). Hence, this is a great opportunity to be part of the force to turn the wheel of Dhamma in Putra Heights. Contirbutions in kind or cash (cheque issued to “Putra Heights Buddhist Society” bank-in to Public Bank Acc No. 3161987208) will be most welcomed. For further information please contact Bro Chua Teck Seong (HP 016-223 3537/teckseong@gmail.com) or Sis Cerlina Ho Siew Yoong (HP 019-3384913/cerlinaho@gmail.com )

将布特拉高原佛教会推进至更高峰
2010 年正月,布特拉高原城欢迎一个佛教会真实地在该区成立了。 不过真正揭开序幕的,却是不久前在布特拉中心首次举办的卫塞节庆典。布特拉高原居民温馨、热心的接受,会籍隔夜间激升三倍, 皆促使布特拉佛教会决定, 在布特拉中心找间店屋为道场, 才不负“ 您邻里间的佛教团体”这句标语。
布特拉高原佛教会周日佛学班(meditation)将是我们的焦点。 我们正在寻找有奉献精神的志工,以贡献他们的专长及经验,来策划适合的课程大纲及教学法 ,好让我们能够将整体的佛教价值灌输给下一代。 我们希望家长们可以将布特拉高原佛教会,视为他们个人提升心灵的指路明灯。
布特拉高原佛教会需要仁心善翁的布施, 以促成置在11-1,Jalan Putra Mahkota 7/8C 路的布特拉高原佛教会新会所的装修。因此, 这是成为先锋,推动布特拉高原法轮的好机会。任何形式捐献,( 支票抬头请写明 “ Putra Heights Buddhist Society ” , 并存进大众银行户口,号码 :3161987208)无任欢迎。详情请联络 Bro Chua Teck Seong ( HP 016-2233537 / teckseong@gmail.com ) or Sis Cerlina Ho Siew Yoong ( HP 019-3384913/cerlinaho@gmail.com )

SUBANG JAYA: Buddhists thronged the Wesak mobile temple set up in Putra Heights for Wesak Day celebrations.

The celebration was a collaboration effort by Putra Heights Buddhist Society and Upakara Kalyana Mitta Buddhist Association (UKMBA) to allow residents to celebrate the festival in their neighbourhood.

The celebration started with flower and candle light offerings from the residents.

These items were sold at RM10 each to help pay for the celebration.

Then there was a puja and blessings by monks, followed by a Buddha-bathing ceremony. The devotees were treated to free lunch afterwards.

Sis.Sumangala of Aloka Foundation gave talks on the meaning of Wesak Day.

The Tzu Chi Foundation also distributed religious books in exchange for donations.

Jonathan Kan, a devotee, said the mobile temple was a great idea as it made it convenient for his family to pay respects to the Buddha.

Visitors were given free glucose and cholesterol tests.

There were several booths selling drinks, food and other items.

A musical performance by Messenger of Dhamma (MOD) was presented towards the end of the celebration.

The celebrations ended with blessings from the monks.

President of the Joint Organisation for Putra Heights Inaugural Wesak Day Celebration Chua Teck Seong was delighted with the overwhelming response from the residents.

He expressed the hope that the Buddhist society's membership would increase in years to come.

Putra Heights residents can become members by submitting an annual application form of RM20 or a lifetime subscription fee of RM100.
