- One day, during a festival
of the Goddess of Mercy
- I went to a small Goddess of
Mercy temple
- To pay my respect and
gratefulness
- Besides the temple were a
few beggars
- And one of them, appeared
very pitiful
- Because he was very thin and
slightly deformed
- Sitting beside him was a
young and healthy beggar
- A lot of people gave a
little
- Especially to the pitiful
beggar
- And not to the young and
healthy beggar
- Then someone gave a RM5 note
to the pitiful beggar
- The pitiful beggar
- Seeing that nobody gave to
the young beggar
- Immediately gave the RM5
note to him
- The young beggar refused to
accept
- Then from his pocket, the
pitiful beggar took out a RM1 coin
- And gave it to the young
beggar who accepted it
- Seeing this gave me a
wonderful feeling
- A beggar giving money to
another beggar out of pity
- Any thing good is beautiful
- Any beautiful thing is not
necessarily good
- He was definitely a very
beautiful beggar inwardly
- Even though he appeared
pitiful outwardly
- The bible has given a case
of this kind
- Between a selfish rich man
and a beggar
- The beggar went to Heaven
and the rich man down under
- If a beggar can pity another
beggar
- We hope, fortunate people
can be kind
- If Heaven has only one place
for two
- The kind will surely have
the place
- My Heavenly Teacher, JiGong
was a monk, thousands of years ago in China
- But he dressed like a
beggar, The Most Beautiful Beggar, wearing a hat
- He was the rebirth of one of
the Great 18 Arahants
- This is a poem mentioned
earlier,
- "Looking
foolish in stupid airs
- Yet light
and happy is my heart!
- On the go
all day long, how easy and free I stomp!
- Gentle and
kind to everyone, in joy and cheers I run!
- Yet one
thing I must seriously take!
- Check and
correct my mistakes."
- Millions bow and pray to him
today in the temple of TAO
- He is my greatest teacher of
the truth from Heaven
- A man of boundless virtues
in the past
- A man worthy of praises and
respects now and forever.
