Day 3 of Vegetarian

 Today is day No. 3 of being vegetarian. I'm currently using my conscious mind to control myself not to eat meat. I even found difficulty when I buy my breakfast. Yesterday, it is still ok as I'm bought Tosai and Roti Canai for my in law. Today is Tuesday and I bought a plain wantan mee which cause me RM4 only. I found that is good to safe money without eating meat.

Grand Event for Tzu Chi

Embracing the beauty of unity and spirituality at the holistic 3-in-1 ceremony of Buddha Day, Mother's Day, and Tzu Chi Day on 12th May. Today is also a Diligence Day for Jian Xi & Pei Xun, reminding us of the importance of perseverance. Joining this spiritual class has brought me inner peace and a sense of calm.





After attending the Diligence Day class and hearing the sharing from Dr. Eddy Chan, a Nutritional & Lifestyle Medicine Physician, about how good it is to be vegetarian/vegan. The video that he shared on the animals being crucial kill caused me to feel guilty and empathy to them. So, in my inner self, I give myself a challenge to be vegetarian. I do not know how long I can sustain, but I will try.
