2) Back up Q1 with 前人辈们的故事

Story: Qiu Qian Ren was ordered by Yuan Jue Da Di to come to Singapore and Malaysia to propogate Tao. He was unfamiliar with Singapore and had no relatives here. He rented a small house and wanted to 渡有缘人. But it wasnt easy for him to find people to 渡.

Especially during CNY, he was afraid that his landlord will invite him to dinner so he always goes to 红灯马头, ate 13 apples for 13cents He missed his hometown alot, esp his old mother. He had not repaid his parents' kindness and he had not yet started to 渡化众生. So he was thinking "What should i do?" He had to swallow his tears and sadness and work hard in a place he was unfamiliar with. Because he is a very filial son, especially to his old mother.

Sacrifice and endure hardships: Qiu Qian Ren endured hardships such as loneliness, uncertainty, and financial constraints. Despite his own challenges, they persevered in their mission to fulfill their duty and spread the Tao.

Service to others (Helping): Qiu qian ren rented a small house and wanted to 渡有缘人.

Filial piety (the virtue of exhibiting the proper love and respect for one's parents, elders, and ancestors): He misses his old mother, and thought about repaying his parents' kindness.

Altogether, the most important 无我精神 to have is --> 二等兵 --> Prioritising others needs without asking for anything in return!

How to bring out what was suggested in Q1/Q2:

Idea 1

1. Taking care of a certain item all the way until the end of camp --> Being selfless

2. Encounter challenges --> Not blaming others if something goes wrong --> Empathy, Learning how to forgive others (Challenge will be very difficult and mostly everyone's item will be damaged --> Every damage will cause points to be deducted)

3. Brings in the concept of appreciation when we give them a new item.

   OR

   If they still have the item, they will need to know how to appreciate the aspects that enabled them to not cause the item to be damaged as they have more points as compared to others.

4. Another activity for them to learn about how to bao en and tui en. --> Can be through them earning some rewards whenever they subconciously perform an act of appreciation towards others?

  • 前人一生都是牺牲自己的时间，金钱，健康来提天办事。

  • 前人去天马开大本堂是，不是牺牲了自己的时间，金钱和健康，他也牺牲了他的生命。。。

  • 要开一个这么大和庄严的本堂不简单，会遇到许多考验 （要在天马求道众生的债主，的考验）

  • 前人不惜一切，身体欠安还去天马开荒，为了就是渡化众生

  • 前人“众生第一”的精神，是后学们要学习的。

• 【牺牲小我，完成大我（二）】

  • 当时，点传师是第一次走进圆觉大帝和林前人的卧室，发现房间里的摆设非常简单，只有一张铺着草席的床，一张桌子和一张椅子

  • 如此刻苦耐劳的精神，让陈点传师肃然起敬。

: 仁慈"就是指心怀仁义，对待别人宽容大度，善待他人的意思。"仁"和"慈"是两个字的合并，代表着和善对待别人并且心怀他人的情感。

Example: 道亲们虽然对道一片诚心，但却对佛规礼节，却懵懂不明。 林前人自甘纾将为师的身份，担起办事员，为新进道亲教导礼节，讲解劝化，一言一行，实实在在地奠定了新加坡道场的基础。（《道贯寰宇 德耀宝光》,pg 18)

慈悲心

："慈悲的心"指的是一种对他人的关怀和同情的感觉。它是一种温柔、善良、体贴的心态，表现为愿意帮助他人、关心他人的痛苦和困难，并尽可能地去减轻他人的痛苦。

Example: 前人用了自己的钱给陈经理救治。“告诉陈太太，请安心接受，这是前人的私人前，不够用要告诉我“ - 《道贯寰宇 德耀宝光》, Pg 51

林前人也成立了“一贯道慈善功德会” - 来帮助那些受灾国家. 前人大德视大众比自身更为重要... (Pg 82, 德泽慈航，大爱篇)

显化大帝为了省钱，都会在菜市场捡剩菜，坐火车去办道等。说到：你也许会说，老是不让你坐车，要知道这些钱剩下来，可以把它用来办道”.前人为了省钱也会经常会吃地瓜。(白阳史上千秋记，推恩篇)

敬老尊贤：

对年长者和前贤们的尊重和敬意，认为他们具有丰富的人生经验和智慧，值得我们尊重和学习

当时，前人还是点穿师的时候，噟任办事员，以身教全盘示现，“来参去辞，出告反面”.. (《道贯寰宇 德耀宝光》, Pg 54)

Q3: How to bring out

• Through story telling, making them reflect and think (since kids have a greater tendency to act when they feel strongly about something). Then from there, they can share who they are grateful for and what can they do for them.

  • However, it may take awhile for them to settle down

  • Another way is BYs are being brought into an enclosed area. This may allow them to feel more comfortable in sharing their thoughts and no distractions - allowing them to really think and feel.

• Through giving. Just like what was mentioned, can split into two groups: those giving and those receiving - however, we must not impose the idea of "they have to give" into them. It will be better if they are able to give willingly

  • Hxm can also consider bringing in the SG vs other countries for this activity too, then hxm can do a reflection on what they feel

• Split into two groups, and some of them are given the instructions (for eg. they have to "perform" something), however, only few of them are taught how to do the action, BYs can choose to teach the rest or just ignore them

• Selflessness:

  • As simple as giving up their seat for people in need

  • Don’t think about themselves, care about the people around them too

  • Empathy:

    • The Importance of Empathy youtube video: https://youtu.be/UzPMMSKfKZQ?si=_pS3DvvLdZovYZ6Z

      
      

• Think of others feelings before themselves/their own:

  • Think of how they would want others treat them.

  • Be humble

  • Kindness: Offer a helping hand

    • 3 types of kindness:

      • Towards yourself

      • Towards others

      • Towards the world around us

• Respectful:

  • Towards 前人，前贤，堂主，哥哥，姐姐，弟弟，妹妹们

  • Think twice before speaking or talking.

  • Listening to others and respecting differences.

• Basic manners:

  • 3 principles:

    • Consideration, Respect and Honesty

    • Treat others like how they want people to treat them

    • Showing kindness, courtesy and respect

How or In what ways to bring out what you have suggested for Q1+2

Ideas:

• Simulation activities/ stations 

• Mission to help skit character achieve something by the end of the camp? Eg. Character shares similar positive and negative characteristics as A Grp BYs. Bys need to collect clues/treasures to help solve character issues/ problems. Through all the activities, they recognize the similarities and start to reflect

• possible Activity: Gratitude Scavenger Hunt - BYs search for and collect items that they are grateful for, then share their findings and reasons for gratitude in a group discussion.
