Notes and Events:

Ren Ci can be literally translated as "compassion" or "benevolent", and this is what we stand for.Established since 1994, Ren Ci Hospital is one of the few charity healthcare institutions in Singapore to provide affordable medical, nursing and rehabilitative care services for the community. Serving all regardless of background, race and religion, the interdisciplinary care team delivers quality service based on the principles of loving kindness and compassion

Most of the long-staying residents in our nursing home in Moulmein and long term care facility in Hougang come from low income families, while some are destitute. Suffering from multiple chronic medical conditions, their long-term healthcare needs have been draining them financially. While majority of the patients are either wheelchair bound or bedridden, they still long to return to their loved ones someday. Your kind act of compassion  will bring a ray of hope to these patients. With continued medical, rehabilitative and nursing support, we can guide them along the road to recovery. Every dollar you contribute will go a long way to help them. 

Besides catering to the long term healthcare needs of disadvantaged patients, Ren Ci also provide rehabilitative care to post-acute patients in a community  hospital setting so that they can regain their functional abilities and return back  to the community.  

As a charity healthcare organization Ren Ci relies heavily on publics donation and support as well as governments  subvention.

Various fundraising events are held every year to help Ren Ci raise the much needed funds for our patients. During each of these events, our stakeholders including our volunteers, donors, supporters, staff, board members and even our benefactors and their family members, will unfailingly come together as one united family to play their part and contribute towards a common goal: to bring a ray of hope to our less fortunate patients

With the rapidly ageing population in Singapore, Ren Ci will continue to play an integral role in supporting the healthcare needs of the senior community. Besides giving hope to frail elderly by helping them overcome their disabilities and teaching their families to care for them at home, Ren Ci also partners  various community groups and social enterprises to give dignity back to the elderly.

Richard Hunn Association For Chan Study

Address: C/o The Secretary 1 Westfield Road  Sutton, Surrey London SM1 2JY
Tradition: Mahayana, Chan Buddhism - From master Xu Yun (1840-1959), Charles Luk & Richard Hunn (deceased) - Shi Da Dao.
Affiliation: Chan Dao Martial Arts Association
E-mail: Shidadao@mailforce.net

Contact: Shi Da Dao  Email  
Teacher: Shi Da Dao  
Spiritual Director: Richard Hunn (Wen Shu)  
Notes and Events:

Master Xu Yun asked Charles Luk to translate vital Chinese Buddhist texts into English, to help Buddhists in the West.  Charles Luk asked Richard to try and keep these translations in the public eye - which he did up until his death.  He founded the website to facilitate this idea.  On the site are numerous translated texts, designed to help the student wherever they are.

Creating a meditation space, wherever you are is the key practice.  This is essential for development.  This practice may be augmented by irregular Chan meditation weeks of intense introspection.  Such weeks are dependent on the use of suitable facilities, etc.  Which are not always available.

The hua tou method is used, whereby one meditates on a question such as Who s hearing? This will eventually lead to a startling discovery!

Peace in the Dharma.

2.0 Monitoring and Evaluation

Nepal is a multi-cultural, diversified with different castes, creed and religions; and thus a beautiful country in the world.

Commonly, Nepal is known as the birthplace of Gautam Buddha, and land of Sagarmatha, the top of the world. Buddhism was originated in Nepal, and later it became widespread all around the world established as the milestone of source of knowledge, happiness, peace, prosperity and enlightenment.

 

One latest condition of Nepal is that, even though Nepal is the origin of Buddhism, but many Nepalese students are forced to travel abroad in search of practical school of Buddhism.

Realizing the importance of traditional and practical Buddhist education, RDCCK is established with the propose of offering all Buddhist courses to  produce adept, expert and skilled manpower.

Therefore, this school will contribute in the field of peace, prosperity and enlightenment for the entire human world if it is provided with the economic, physical and moral support from the interested person, society, organization and concerned NGO and INGO.
