The cause and effect sutra was one of the 1st that help me onto the Buddhist path. Not sure which version I got, but it got me to go veg also. So I think it's good to widely propogate the teachings of cause and effect. We never know who those sutras will help.

Yeah, me too. The 1st Buddhist book I read was the cause and effect sutra. The sutra had answered many of my questions like why some people are born poor and some are born rich. Why there are inequalities among people.

The last time I distributed this book. I saw a few of them were so interested ( I assume it was their first time reading the cause and effect sutra), they found a place to sit down and finish reading the whole book on the spot. Very encouraging.

Not yet. He did not call me. Can I call him but it seems that he is not very keen. Can I pass to you if you don't mind ha ha.......

he is now busy raising funds to help the widow of the maintanence guy who was killed on the mrt platform while repairing the track. This man left behind 3 young kids.

it's good if you can call him. He is always doing some charity here and there. He has to take so many calls while also working at the same time. If you meet up with him at least once, i am sure you both can work out something. Not necessary must take all the beads at one go, he can source out for you who need it .

He has a wider network than me in the buddhist circle.

OK thanks. I shall call him again. Will call him after office hour. Now the beads still look very new. Wait some more, they will be collecting dust soon.

for general information, there is a bookshop on the third floor of the Fortune Building/centre at middle road, next to the famous hindu temple.

This bookshop is owned by a publication company who has printed so many buddhist books for customers for free distribution that they are overloaded, so what they did is to open a shop and put all these free books in front for anyone to take.

It's hidden in one corner but you can literally find many sutras, buddhist books in stacks there. The most popular for printing are "cause and effect" karma book,

sutra of the treasure earth bodhisattva (kitisargarbhva) , amitufo sutra , liang huang treasure (liang emperor) repentance sutra.

They welcome anyone to take these free distribution books from the shop.They are helping customers to clear them.

This shop is either on the third or fourth floor. Beside the shop is a TCM clinic and opposite a vegetarian grocery shop. Fortune Centre at middle road (beside the hindu temple).
