Great man and a humble leader...
Faith over everything! Even as I constantly struggle to pay my rent. And I constantly struggle to provide groceries for my children! I trust you Lord! I’m choosing to keep faith. Walking with faith is the most important thing us christian’s must do. That’s why love compassion and prayers are all we truly need. Please keep me in your prayers. As Christians it’s vital to trust God no matter what we are facing. I want to give up so bad! But God won’t allow me because he is our only strength in this world. As a single mom, things are tough on me. My husband passed years ago. I feel so alone. Both of my sons are autistic and non verbal. I’m constantly struggling to provide for my boys. I’m overwhelmed and so ashamed. Father God hear my prayers. My faith in you is strong! Even though I’m constantly in fear of losing my home. I have faith a miracle is on the way! Faith over fear! ❤
All good and bad is your own doing. All miracles and calamities are your own doing. We just cant comprehend all the inner workings of the universe. You may call it the mysterious ways of god. Others may call it karma. If faith alone doesnt solve your problems, perhaps try meditation to bring acceptance or take definitive actions in life to improve it.
Interesting topic. Glad to see such topic. It's informative 😊

change must come
Can a monk shake or touch woman's hand?
What do you think? Probably no.
@@bdd3020 Maybe Mahayana sect can. Theravada sect also can but on emergency cases. Other than that = No
the interview is too short.
Just wondering , was he Elected President or Politically Appointed ? ie. Our PAP Government has a Bad Habit of Appointing Heads of Religious Councils
0:53 She sits together with a monk and eats in front of him? She thinks he is her friend?
It is not easy to enter monkhood and become a monk in Singapore. You need to get approval from a monk from the order itself and then be ordained into monkhood.
Meaning you need very venerable people to give you a go ahead before you can become one.
If you don't have this and you think the tax office and Singapore government will let you become one you can wait long long.
Pap need you to work and serve saf not chant and beg for alms in Singapore.
