1000 compassionate offerings

Dear friends,

How are you all doing? Hope all is well for you.

I don't normally send out a long email like this. However is important you take the time to read, because this is different from any other email that you might have received in your lifetime.

This email is about offering a kind deed or kind thoughts or action, please read more to understand.

You can say is an act of planting a compassionate seed in your heart, to do a good deed to offer to "kuan Yin" or if you're a Christian or of other religion, you can still offer to your own god, with a kind thought or a deed that you vow to do. You can vow for doing a particular good deed for your entire lifetime or for a specific period of time. After vowing, you can pray for any merit accrued from this vow to go people who're suffering around the world, for world peace, etc....

Making a compassionate or kind vow, is like lighting a candle, if everyone make a kind vow and turn it into action, you can imagine how bright the world will be. Please send it around if you like to participate. Hope this world will be better and brighter place to live in, with no war and with peace.

I know someone dear to me who thought of making 1000 kinds of compassionate offerings. Is impossible to do it all by herself. So she start sending email around, went to E-shangha, and lots of people are interested and participated. Now, there are already 51 people participated and wanted to do something uniquely unusual for themselves in this lifetime.

This is her quote: One may take this opportunity to make a promise to cultivate pure body, speech and mind from today onwards...or any type of giving of good acts is encouraged...and in the end, you make a wish for someone, yourself , or all being's welfare..bringing them blessing and safety, etc...

This email might have changed someone's life because they make a commitment to do something compassionate consistantly throughout their lifetime.

You're most welcome to participate or send this email to your friends who might be interested in participating. Please send an email back to me @ meichin02@hotmail.com if you're interested and I'll add you to the list. It would be interesting and great to see more than 1000 good deeds or acts ......

Below is example of how this information is gathered:

Input your Name & what you vow to do:
example for a kid: I will help my mom wash dishes.

OR

Input your Name - What you vow to do:
example: Shirren - I will start to become a vegetarian from now on (to cultivate kind heart and pure body and mind and abstain from eating meat, indirectly discouraging killing of animals and cultivate my heart to be considerate with compassion that other lives have feelings and pain too, their life is also precious", this will be my offering to avalokiteshvara.

OR

Input your Name- What you vow to do:
example: I will be releasing 100 beings from thei trappings or slaughter place so they be free and be saved. This will be my 100 offerings to
avalokiteshvara.

Whatever kind deed you can think of, you're more than welcome to input it.

Please let me know if you've concerns or questions in regards to this.

Wishing all of you well, with good health and happiness always,
