2562TH IBYE, JULY 14-18, 2019 IN BANGKOK, THAILAND -
A MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE
The 2562th International Buddhist Youth
Exchange (IBYE) 2019 themed ‘Mindful
Leadership’ was held from July 14-18, 2019.
This is a regular event hosted by a different
country every year. This year, the event was
hosted by the Young Buddhist Association
of Thailand (YBAT) in Bangkok, Thailand.
The exchange program attracted over 80
participants from 8 countries across Asia
including Bangladesh, India, Indonesia,
Korea, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore, and
Thailand.
I was part of the Malaysian team which
had the largest number of participants of
all the countries combined. We all came
from different organizations across Malaysia
including BGF, YBAM, BUBS and more. As it
was my first time participating in an exchange
program, I was both excited and nervous as I
did not know what was coming my way.
SI S. WONG K AY R OU
When I first reached YBAT, I was really
surprised as most of the participants
were aged around their 20s. It was quite
a challenge making friends as I was much
younger than everybody else and I’m not
good when it comes to making friends.
Besides that, the language barrier made it
harder to communicate as English is not the
first language for some participants but at the
end, I managed to make friends and we had
fun together throughout the program despite
the obstacles.
The first 3 days of the program were filled
with inspiring talks and fun activities in YBAT.
The talks were led by well-known speakers
from Thailand. In the beginning, I was not
expecting much as I typically dislike talks and
find them boring but I tried my best to listen
attentively to the speakers and to my surprise,
OUTREACH 1
I actually enjoyed listening to some. As a result,
I gained a lot of new knowledge regarding the
Dhamma. Honestly, I was surprised as it was
the first time I felt so interested and attracted
to Buddhism and realized that the Dhamma
contains so many useful applications for our
daily lives.
July 16 was Asalha Puja Day. It is one of
Theravada Buddhism’s most important
festivals as it celebrates the Buddha’s first
sermon. In the morning, we dressed up in
white and participated in an offering session
to the monks. Later in the evening, we took a
bus and went to Buddhamonton to take part in
a candlelight procession. We were considered
very lucky to have had this opportunity as this
was one of Thailand’s most important holidays.
On the 4th day, we were given a chance to
explore Bangkok in groups of 7, accompanied
by 2 Thai participants. Due to the lack of
time, my group only went to ICONSiam, Siam
Paragon and the Erawan Shrine. To avoid any
traffic jams, we travelled around using the
Bangkok Mass Transit System (BTS) which is
similar to our LRT. Along the trip, we got to
try the local delicacies, learnt a few common
Thai phrases, and even got to know about
Thailand’s history.
In the evening, all the participants gathered
at the InterContinental Bangkok for our
farewell dinner party. That night, each country
was asked to dress up in their country’s
traditional costume and perform a show from
2 OUTREACH
their own nation. I chose to wear the baju
kebaya as it represented the Baba Nyonya
culture in Malaysia. We Malaysians wore
different costumes and performed a mashup
of Buddhist songs from our country. The
night was amazing as we shared intercultural
experiences and discovered new things about
each other’s countries. At the end of the night,
there was a gift exchange session between
participants and it was a sad moment as it was
also time to say our goodbyes. It was one of
the most enjoyable and entertaining nights
I’ve ever experienced.
I really want to thank BGF for giving me this
huge opportunity to join this year’s IBYE.
Being able to meet new Kalyana Mitras and
being able to gain knowledge is something
truly wonderful. IBYE 2019 was something
spectacular that I happened to come across
and I am proud to have been a part of this
lovely family.
Overall, I must say I have learnt many valuable
lessons throughout the program. One of the
most memorable lessons was the session with
Mr. Tsewang Norbu Vivek. From him, I learnt
the quote ‘This too shall pass’. Although it may
seem short, it has a really deep and interesting
meaning behind it. Whenever I go through
hard times, I will use this quote to remind
myself that it will soon be over and so I shall do
my best!

2562TH IBYE IN THAILAND
Throughout the 5-day camp from 14 to 18 July
2019, there were many sessions conducted by
prominent figures. Most of them were very
inspiring and eye opening. Some even pushed
me out of my own comfort zone. Below
are a few sessions that have made a lasting
impression on me.
SI S. MADEL I NE Y EE
Dr. Phucharoen explained Buddhism in a rather
unique way. He made us understand it by
relating it to various scientific concepts such as
viewing life as a two-dimensional matrix and
seeing states of our emotions as frequencies.

to face. What we had to do was to introduce
ourselves in 1 minute and after time was up,
we had to move one seat to the left and meet
with someone new for another minute. At
first, I was sceptical of the idea but as minutes
passed, I found myself engaging in as much
conversation as I could with the person in
front of me.

the session was balancing a cup of water on
your head while shooting the arrow. Sounds
tough but not impossible as long as one is
mindful!

Candlelight Procession Buddha Monthon
On Asalha Puja Day 2562 B.E., all the
participants of IBYE took part in a candlelight
procession over at the Buddha Monthon
venue.
THE FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF MINDFULNESS:
A ONE-DAY MEDITATION RETREAT BY VENERABLE JIRU
On June 30, 2019, Venerable Jiru, a
Malaysian Mahayana monk now based in
New York, was at BGF to enlighten us on
the 4 Foundations of Mindfulness. These
are meditation techniques that Ven Jiru has
developed and finetuned over his many
years as a monk that incorporate elements
of martial arts he acquired in his youth. He
said these are the techniques he himself
uses in his daily meditation practice.
The 4 Foundations of Mindfulness
approach is unusual in that apart from the
2 meditation postures we’re most familiar
with - sitting and walking, it includes 2
less common postures - standing up or
lying down. Sitting meditation, being the
most widely practiced posture, required
no introduction at this retreat. Many of
the attendees have been practicing sitting
meditation for years.
Our P’sao (elder sister) and Nong sao (younger
sister) who gave us a tour around Bangkok.
I am very blessed to have been a participant
of the 2652th IBYE. Not only did I have the
chance to gain invaluable knowledge from
the program, but I’ve also made friendships
that reach across borders. Till this day, I still
keep in touch with my fellow Thai friends.
SI S. K I T L U M
So that brings us to the most interesting
part of this retreat – the demonstration
and explanation of how standing
meditation is performed. Remember
how kungfu students in movies are often
shown standing in straight lines, arms
and legs striking out in stiffly coordinated
movements as they move in unison to their
master’s orders.
Now imagine us, BGF retreat attendees
spread out at random across the hall
watching and listening intently as our
Master Jiru demonstrated the 5-step warm-
up exercises and breathing techniques.
This was followed immediately afterwards
by standing meditation which, Ven Jiru
promised, would fire up the juices in your
joints, tendons and ligaments, and make
you sweat, and here you can also feel the
Qi energy warding off your lethargy and
OUTREACH 5
sleepiness especially after lunch. Ven Jiru
also stressed the importance of keeping
physically fit so we can meditate better.
After a session of sweat-inducing standing
meditation, the lying down meditation
posture was passive in comparison and is
therefore deemed to be useful for those
who are physically unable to assume any
of the other postures. I remember thinking
that while this is the most relaxing posture,
it’s also the one where we’re most likely to
fall asleep (if done incorrectly) and then,
oops, we can’t call that meditation now, can
we?
As for the final posture of the day – walking
meditation, Ven Jiru demonstrated the
technique of standing firmly on one foot
with the other just touching the floor. For
practice, he made us walk from opposite
sides of the room towards each other as he
observed and pointed out our mistakes.
I found the 4 Foundations of Mindfulness to
be interesting especially with the inclusion
of the martial arts element. Using these
techniques will enable us to have sustained
mindfulness for deeper meditation. For
those who swear by sitting meditation,
there are now more options to choose
from. Being able to meditate in different
postures depending on your circumstance
or preference is definitely a good thing. Not
to mention that now you no longer have
any excuse not to meditate!

JULY 2019 ‘BALIK KAMPUNG’ TO RAUB AND BENTONG, PAHANG
‘Balik kampung’ to Raub has always been a
private and personal trip for me. However,
the memorable ‘balik kampung’ of Saturday,
July 27, 2019 with 30 kalyana mitra led
by Sis. Dolly Teoh, was a fun experience of
food and Dana. Sis. Dolly, who was also the
time keeper, made sure we boarded the bus
safely at each stop we made. Many thanks to
her, and also her cousins for their personal
assistance in Raub.
Everyone must have been very excited about
the trip as they were all so punctual. We
even boarded the bus before the departure
time and left Wat Chetawan earlier than
scheduled.
Our full day program began with a stop at
Bentong for breakfast where we visited the
morning market at Bentong Walk. Later we
had our lunch at Raub Radha Curry House
which is famous for its fish head, and chicken
curry. Our Tour Manager, Bro. Richard Moo,
had ordered the famous curry puffs from
Kim Fah Teahouse for us in advance. Most of
us also ended up buying ‘kaya’ puffs, coconut
tarts and other snacks as well.
Next we visited a soy factory in Bukit Koman
and most of us left carrying bags of ‘tau foo
pok’ home. We adjourned
to a Chinese ‘kuih’ and
‘pau’ stall where the owner
entertained us with his
karaoke style singing. The
more we bought, the more
he sang. It drew much
laughter from everyone. Of
course, we could not miss
eating the popular Musang
SI S. Y AP F OOI F OONG
King Durian of Raub at a durian farm at Sg.
Klau.
With good faith, kamma and the right
connection, we were fortunate to be able
to visit Dhamma Buddhist University (DBU)
in Bentong, Pahang. Upon arrival, we were
welcomed by 2 Reverends. Rev. Chuan Yuan
gave us a guided tour and offered us tea. The
nun introduced to us their mooncakes which
are produced by the monastery. On our part,
we offered fruits and requisites to the monk
and nun who are themselves students at the
university.
Eco Monastery is the brainchild of Ven.
Master Hui Hai who is also the founder
of DBU. Spanning 50 acres of land, Eco
Monastery is the first monastic institution
to be built in Malaysia to propagate holistic
Buddhist teachings, and nurture Buddhist
teachers and preachers through Buddhist
education, culture, charitable work, and
moral education.
Before we left the monastery, we were given
blessings in the bus by the Reverends. With
those good blessings and the safe driving
of the bus driver, we arrived home safely at
sundown, happy and contented.

There have been a number of changes in the

dered her resignation in order to spend more
time attending to her family and personal
matters. She will continue to serve until mid-
September and has made herself available to
conduct the next CPD training in October. Sis
Yin Heng has contributed tremendously to
the training of PCs and the expansion of BG-

BGFCU is very much indebted to both the
above Sisters for their services and wish
them the best in their future undertakings.

SI S. WONG C HU N HEONG
our PCs signed up signifying their eagerness
to learn the correct way to do referrals.
As customary for all our CPD programs,
participants were required to do some
preparatory work before attending the
training. They were asked to share their
OUTREACH 13
 experiences of case referrals and their
expectation for the workshop. Participants
were then divided into groups and assigned
to search for information in 5 key referral
categories, namely mental health problems,
addiction, suicidal/crisis, general issues and
problems with minors. With the information
gathered, each team was given the task of
building a referral network which would be
discussed and further fine-tuned during the
workshop. The referral lists were confined
to services provided by community mental
health NGOs, agencies, hospitals and clinics.
The workshop started with a 1 hour theory
session to remind participants of common
misconceptions and the reasons for referrals.
Knowing when to refer is crucial as everyone
needed to be aware of the boundaries and
the limitations of PCs. Resources of referral
centers must be updated from time to time
and at the fingertips of PCs. Before initiating
any referrals, PCs must establish the need and
explain the rationale taking into consideration
various sensitivities. At the same time, they
are to continue supporting the Person In
Need (PIN) emotionally and discuss follow-up
plans whether or not the proposed referral is
accepted.
The workshop continued with group
discussions to review and finetune the pre-
planned referral lists. These lists were put
to test to see if any improvements were

required during roleplay sessions. The
roleplays in the afternoon were a fun way
to learn despite creating some stress in the
participants who had to take active part in
the sessions. Roleplays enhance learning
whereby participants can immediately
apply the concepts in relevant or real-life
situations. The 5 groups of participants each
had to roleplay the scenarios given by the
trainer to bring out the concept of referral
and to demonstrate the process of referring
using the printed referral lists done by other
groups. The follow-up after referrals was
emphasized to ensure there was continuity
of support for the PIN.
Finally, each group was able to present
their final referral list formats which were
debated upon in regard to their feasibility,
completeness and user friendliness. At the
end of the training, everyone agreed to
compile all the lists into one master list and
the format will be used as the standardized
template for our PCs.

A perennially in-demand Dhamma speaker,
Bro Benny has delivered many scintillating
sutta workshops at BGF which made a “sutta
foodie” of me. The July 20 workshop was no
less a grand fete. Some 30 participants were
treated to a bountiful spread of enticing
appetisers, three gourmet main courses
and pithy take-home desserts, all enhanced
with a sprinkling of Bro Benny’s trademark
flavourful condiments.
Benny ensured that we could partake of the

Asalha on July 17. When I opened my Inbox,
it was a feast for the eye and mind as I tucked

nuggets of wisdom.
On workshop day, I savoured gourmet
servings of Anumana Sutta (Inference), the
mouthful Ambalatthikarahulovada Sutta

favourite platter, the “Eight Worldly Winds”
(Lokavipatti Sutta). Brimming over, my hearty

from great masters such as Sheng Yen, Hsing
