Awareness Place<\/a><\/em> (Well-being Centre) customer wanted to have a copy of The Daily Enlightenment Book 1 and 2 each. Since I have some copies left, I arranged for them to be sent there via a colleague (1), who will deliver them with other items to AP next week. I then emailed the AP colleague (2), through whom I got to know of the request, to let her know when they will be available on her side for passing to that customer. However, from colleague (2), I found out that the customer was going to AP two days later; before next week, and that yet another colleague (3) happened to be making his way to AP today. I then rushed to get the books back from colleague (1), to pass to colleague (3) before he rushed off to AP, so that he can pass them to colleague (2), for passing them to the customer faster! The following email dialogue transpired… [Xin is colleague (2)]<\/p>\nXin: <\/span>Thanks!! Paiseh (Singaporean slang for ’embarrassed’) for making everyone rush here and there!
\nMe:<\/span> It\u2019s okay \u2013 it\u2019s our job (which is Buddhism-related) \u2013
\nto rush to service others with the Dharma! Amituofo.
\nXin:<\/span> Wow!! Amituofo _\/\\_ (palms together)
\nMe: <\/span>We must rush because life is short \u2013 ours and our customers\u2019.
\nWe don\u2019t know when one party will die first \u2013
\nbefore we get to share the Dharma,
\nbefore they get to benefit from it!<\/span>
\nXin: <\/span>True. Amituofo _\/\\_ We (should) just do our best.
\nNobody knows what’s coming first – tomorrow or our next life!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"An Awareness Place (Well-being Centre) customer wanted to have a copy of The Daily Enlightenment Book 1 and 2 each….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[176],"tags":[47,65],"class_list":["post-2819","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-books","tag-anicca","tag-death","wpcat-176-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2819","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2819"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2819\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2819"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2819"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2819"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
