“自我悟佛”的意思为在还没理佛之前已懂得人生的平衡学，履行中庸之道，中极之哲。
“佛悟我之”为还没理佛之前， 过着偏袒， 极倾的人生， 理佛悟佛以后极倾拉中。
“自我悟佛”与“佛悟我之”的区别为：前后中极与前后极中 ！
但是， 过极超中的“佛悟我之”是两极，倾激，偏激，超现实，极端的另一种无悟过程，激情！
当局者迷。。极端不分宗教。。过激超中，唯有旁观者清， 看清超限超实。
真主爱你，佛陀爱你，耶稣爱你，三米爱你。。。

Leaving a mark on US youths
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia’s multiracial and multicultural society has left a mark on a group of American youths seeking to forge closer relations with the world’s young leaders.
The delegates of the American Council of Young Political Leaders (ACYPL) said they were delighted to see the unity and healthy interaction among the different races in Malaysia.
ACYPL is a bipartisan, non-profit educational exchange organisation that carries out ex-change programmes which introduces young political leaders to policy and decision-making processes around the world.

A delegate and president of the Hacienda La Puente Unified School District board Jay Chen said
Malaysia had a more diverse community compared with the United States.
“Malaysia is dealing with such matters on a much larger structure and scale.
“I am especially impressed with the growth and employment rates that this country has achieved,” Chen said during a courtesy call and interactive session between MCA Youth and ACYPL at Wisma MCA here yesterday.
MCA Youth chief Datuk Dr Wee Ka Siong, who attended the meeting, said he hoped the interactive session would lay the foundation for more future interactions and visits between the movement and ACYPL.
He expressed hope that the meeting would create a better understanding of Malaysia-US relations, while diplomatic ties could be further improved.
“Fostering closer ties would result in support for Malaysia’s policies like the Economic Transformation Programme,” he added.

Australia ABC Radio On Bersih !
Malaysia's ruling BN coalition says crisis averted

Topic : Malaysia ruling coalition BN says.......
Malaysia's ruling Barisan Nasional coalition has denied being embarassed by the King's intervention in the Bersih2 crisis.
One component of the BN coalition, the MCA or Malaysian Chinese Association, says no one wants to see chaos on the streets.
Neil Foo is a strategist for the youth wing of both the MCA and the Barisan Nasional.
Presenter: Sen Lam
Speaker: Neil Foo, strategist, MCA Youth & Barisan Nasional
Listen:
Windows Media
FOO: Everybody wants to go for a peaceful approach, give and take, so nobody wants to have it on the road, that would cause some problem to the public, you see.
LAM: Do you think the fact that the King saw the need to intervene, that the King was a little alarmed by the heavy-handed tactics employed by the government in cracking down on people, even wearing yellow tee shirts?
FOO: Umm, not really, not really. Of course, the King he has his own discretion, and also, as a person who loves the country, he just took the initiative to encourage a dialogue with all parties, for the ultimate safety and also the peace of the country. The government's also concerned about the people's safety, you know.
Whether it's free publicity (for Bersih) or not, we have to bear with it, you know.
Every result, or every move for the peace of the country - this could be either way - the ultimate, I believe should be on the safety and the peace of the country.
A mass rally on the road, and everybody moves to the city, so the police had to do something to prevent it, rather than to cure it. And maybe, it could've been out of control, you see.
So the yellow shirts - there's always a misperception, that anybody who wears just a plain piece of yellow shirt, they would be caught. But in fact, if you look at their shirts, there are some words about Bersih, about the mass rally, on which date, to move on, you see. So it's not right that anybody in yellow would be caught. So you have to observe and see clearly from the words that they mention on the tee shirts, soliciting the public to come and join the rally. So that's why I think it was just a preventative measure by the police.
LAM: And what is MCA's attitude towards Bersih's demands such as the cleaning up of the electoral roll, to allow all parties free access to the media and an end to electoral fraud - what's your attitude to these demands?
FOO: Yes, our attitude and stand is very clear - that we support a clean election, a fair election, but we do not support or condone any street demonstration or rally.
LAM: But Bersih's whole existence is about clean and fair elections and about electoral reform. So does that mean that, if you want the same things as well, that you will encourage your MCA members to attend the rally at the stadium this weekend?
FOO: No, no, we won't encourage, because everybody has their own approach, so long as it's legitimate and legal. But it doesn't mean we have to support their ways or their approach in a stadium. We use our proper channel, involving our political coalition or even in the government or other proper channel that we can voice out, to approach our objective.

Gambling affects the family, that's why we help the family members - Neil FooRehabilitation Centre A Way To Help Addicts

BORN to a conman who is a professional gambler, Lionel Lim Ban Hing followed his father’s footsteps at the of 25 not knowing the dark path it would lead him to.
For years, he enjoyed the fast- paced lifestyle, cheating many casinos in the region until the security improved with CCTV cameras and professionals to catch conmen at their game.
For years, he enjoyed the fast- paced lifestyle, cheating many casinos in the region until the security improved with CCTV cameras and professionals to catch conmen at their game.
Lim soon realised he could no longer continue gambling and decided to dabble in other illegal businesses including pirated vcds and a disco that also supplied drugs. His life revolved around Ecstasy pills leaving his mother worried every night.
“One day I realised I had to stop all these things including my addiction. I stopped selling pirated cds which did not profit much until I got a worker to help me sort out my financial problems,” he said.
Seeing Lim’s will to change, the employee urged him to go to church and Lim attended service just to please the man who had helped improve his business but the sermons changed his life.
“I changed, I may not have had cash but I was living a better life. My mum went to bed each night knowing I would be safe,” Lim added.
He continued to help the church with their activities until a group from Hong Kong came down to open up a gambling rehabilitation centre in KL. One day he was forced to counsel a gambler and the people at the centre realised that he would be the best person to advise others with the same habit.

“We saw a need for the centre and opened in 2003 under the church wing. I went to Singapore to study counselling and psychology since they had it in Mandarin,” said Lim, the chief operating officer of the centre.
Growing from strength to strength: Lionel (front) at a session with gamblers and their families.
In 2008, the Gambler’s Rehabilitation Centre Malaysia became an independent organisation and it has grown from strength to strength over time.
Due to the increasing number of complaints on gambling, the MCA National Youth decided to collaborate with Lim and his fellow speakers Lee Kim Heng and celebrity spokesman Vick Teo to help gamblers and their families cope with the addiction.
“We have received numerous complaints at the MCA Public Complaints Bureau and it has become a root problem in Chinese families. Many housewives are also addicted to gambling which leads to other social illnesses,” said the MCA National Youth Strategic Planning Research Bureau chief, Neil Foo .
The theme “Gambler At Home, What To Do?” is an initiative to raise awareness on the issue and help family members of gamblers kick their habit. They organised their inaugural road show on May 22 at the MCA office in Jalan Ampang and it proved to be a resounding success. The three-hour roadshow comprises talks by the speakers as well as other activities to help them understand the nature of gambling better.
According to Foo, many families end up paying for gamblers’ debts leaving them in financial trouble with loan sharks as well.
“Gambling affects the family, that is why we are helping the family as well. We teach them how to convince the gambler to come forward and seek assistance,” Foo added.
The centre only takes in those who want to reform for its programmes. Gamblers and families have two options; to stay in the hostel and undergo rehabilitation for three months or opt for 10 classes with one class each week. The centre does regular follow ups to ensure the gamblers have kicked off the habit completely.
Many have walked out of the doors a changed person, including See Cheng Yeh, See was running his family business and ended up losing his profits at the cards table and slowly turned to family and friends for money.
“I joined their three-month programme in 2006 and today have quit everything including buying numbers. Now I am helping others. I believe being here helps remind me of the consequences of gambling so that I do not fall prey again,” said See, who is now the chief head of Fellowship.
There will be another road show on July 31 at the Foon Yew High School in Johor Baru.
Those seeking to get in touch with the centre can call the hotline at 017-238 1900 or visit the centre at 9-3, Jalan 8/146, Bandar Tasik Selatan,KL
