Hihi, some suggestions on the coming DC:
1) Transitions in Life
Instead of having 1 speaker (Cindy), perhaps we can have more than 1? For example 3 speakers or seniors : Cindy, Kwek and Robby. As these 3 speakers are close friends and have gone through a long BS pathway together, they can share their experiences in BS activities + friends, and how they help each other; at the same time, the audience will have the chance to listen to more ppl’s sharing, and most importantly is that they can feel a sense of informal and more interactive atmosphere. Also, this can show an example to the freshies on how BS has bonded the past ppl together, through changing or sharing their mindsets and some other fellowship activities.
2) What is Buddhism?
May be we can start the topic by showing a very short acting. An example of the acting is as such: I happen to meet Kwek in YIH canteen (or whatever place), and Kwek is holding a Buddhist book titled: What a Buddhist believe. Then I started to be very curious, and ask Kwek a bundle of questions related to Buddhism. After such small acting, then we can start the talk lead by Kwek, and Kwek will clarify those questions. We can make the acting as fun as we can la, if we can think of it……Perhaps this way the Freshies will not feel Buddhist talk is boring lo...
3) Fact or Fiction: Tales of the Buddha
For this one, may be a workshop can best suit it. For example, the DC session has 4 groups. 4 different pieces of paper with 50% or less description of different phases of Buddha’s life, or 4 different snapshots of various scenes from traditional stories of the Buddha, can each be distributed to these 4 groups. Each of the groups will have some time to discuss on what was happened after the half part of the story. Each of the group facilitators will have their role to play by asking the seniors' questions and ask them to continue sharing the story. By doing so, those who don't know anything about the story will benefit from it. In case non of them know, they can create the story. After discussion, every group will take their turn to perform in front of all (can ask those who don't know anything to perform?), and then Shiong Wei will correct any mistakes or misinterpretations or misconceptions.
4) Calmness amidst the Stress
As the title is about calmness, then let it be just a talk lo…Perhaps can incorporate a small meditation, or Yoga.
All these are just suggestions ya!
