Buddhist Personality : Meng Ting Wei

Name : Meng Ting Wei
Nationality : Taiwan
Date Of Birth : December 22, 1969
Profession : Singer

She is a devout Buddhist who has been a vegetarian for 8 years and in 2001 released a Buddhist theme album. In January last year, she delivered her son on the lunar new year whom was supposed to be born on the 8th day of the lunar new year. Meng told her husband who was an atheist that she hoped their child would be born on the 1st day of the lunar new year. He husband "challenged" that if her wish came through he would also become a buddhist but on the eve of the new year, she felt that she was going to give birth and was rushed to the hospital and on the new year, true to her wish, her son was born. She believes her son has Buddha's light because he was born on the 1st day of lunar new year , the birthday of Maitreya, one of Buddhist boddhisatvas.

we are a Buddhist sangha community in Penang and we need to inform all Sangha in Malaysia and abroad because the last time our monks went to visit SAMNAK SAMBODHI, Taman Desa Jaya, Kepong, Kuala Lumpur and we monks were kicked out by the Temple president

we are a monk in Ven. Phra Piya Dhammo was a retired Singapore CID police officer, later he became a monk in Mahindarama, Penang. He practiced under Chief monks, Dr. Ven E Indaratana Maha Thero, Mahindarama Buddhist Temple, Penang, for five years, after which he travelled for Dhamma everywhere in Malaysia

Ven. Phra Piya Dhammo said, he was very happy and peaceful to stay temporarily in SAMNAK SAMBODHI as it was associated with the higher knowledge and education of the monks, our Bhante said all the monks were very moral and kind like brothers.

On one occasion, YIP KUM FOOK realized and got angry at our Bhante because this YIP KUM FOOK is the president of SAMNAK SAMBODHI and has the power to get rid of anyone in the Temple but our Bhante did not do anything wrong, also this president called the police, and his thugs to drive away(kick) we monk out of the Temple

we saved and protected our Buddhist sangha from danger and bullying from someone, you (Bhante), you are not alone, we come to help you
