Volunteered Rehabilitation Services in Guangzhou Hospital

Earthquakes are catastrophic. However, it can only take away lives but not our hearts and spirit. We can see that the impact of the ruthless nature can be devastating, but we can also see the brightest part of human nature. True love makes people great, there is nothing in the world more important than love. We hope love can be spread around the world and more importantly, it can heal the wounds of those suffering. 

Many Sichuan earthquakes victims were transferred to various hospitals in Guangzhou for immediate care.

The 3rd Sunday activities in November and December 2007 with regard to “Live to Love”

In response to His Holiness’s urge to dedicate every 3rd Sunday of each month to carry out activities with regards to “Live to Love”, Hong Kong sangha organized a life release in November 2007 and volunteered their services at Crossroad International, a registered non-profit corporation which takes Hong Kong’s quality superseded goods and redistributes them to people in need, locally and internationally (http://www.crossroads.org.hk), in December 2007. We will continue to arrange different activities in 2008 to provide this kind of simple and effective help to our local communities so as to practice the 5 spirits of “Live to Love’.

Live to Love Charity Dinner in Hong Kong

A charity dinner presided by His Holiness, the 12th Gyalwang Drukpa and his father, His Eminence Bairo Rinpoche, was successfully held on Sunday, November 25, 2007 in Hong Kong. The dinner was a continuation of the “Live to Love” activity kicked off in Hong Kong in March this year. We were fortunate to be able to invite Mr. Chow Kam Leung, Mr. Jeffery Lim and Ms. Regine Tai from Malaysia as our special guests to perform their winning song in ‘Live to Love’ song writing competition and other favorite songs for all of us. Through out the heated auctions of His Holiness’s Calligraphy and the sale of ‘Live to Love’ foldable bags, bookmarks, DVDs etc., we felt an intense support from our guests and really want to say ‘thank you very much’ to them to express our gratitude.

At the closing of the charity dinner, all the guests were happy and joined in together to sing the ‘Live to Love’ song brought this charity dinner to perfection.
