Life is a journey of constant farewells, and the purpose of these farewells is to allowed life to begin anew, becoming the yearned-for self. How can we delicately discuss death with friends and family, ensuring a sense of emotional and physical security while expressing our inner thoughts and feelings, and whether we possess sufficient strength and confidence to face death?
The "It is safe now, Let's Talk about Life and Death" public talk, organized by Elite Edutainment and co-hosted by the Ai~Life Care Group, took place on Sunday, 13th August 2024 from 2 to 4 PM, at the Kuala Lumpur Nirvana Centre. This public talk was also sponsored by the Nirvana Asia Group.
This public talk featured Dr. Lo Yao Ming from Taiwan as the main speaker. He graduated from the Department of Social Education at National Taiwan Normal University. Currently, he holds positions such as Director and Senior Supervisor at the Taiwan Mindfulness Association, Deputy Director of the Life and Death Education Promotion Association, Public Relations Commissioner of the Taiwan Hospice Care Association, and invited course instructor at the Malaysian Life Line Association.
For many years, Dr. Lo Yao Ming has been committed to conducting experiential workshops on life and death education, mindfulness and compassion, positive psychology and many other workshops in Taiwan, Malaysia, Singapore, and other places.
Prayer Beads to Raise Funds for the Jing Yuan Home of Compassion
Residents Make Prayer Beads to Raise Funds for the Home’s Ongoing Care
With blessings for you, each bead is strung with care, opening a window to the wisdom of the Dharma and the beauty of life.
Venerable Chang Miao, religious adviser to Jing Yuan Home of Compassion, together with several volunteers from Cihang Lecture Halll, taught residents at the Home’s Stroke Centre how to make prayer beads. The Venerable encouraged them to recite “Amitabha” with every bead they threaded, cultivating calm and patience in the face of life’s troubles while offering prayers for peace and lasting joy.
Venerable Chang Miao explained that prayer beads are aids to spiritual practice, while reciting the Buddha’s name and chanting mantras depend on a focused and sincere mind.
“Quiet the mind and let go of wandering thoughts; hold the beads with mindfulness.”
The number, arrangement and material of the beads merely support one’s practice and should not become objects of attachment. As the Venerable shared, “Appearances arise from the mind, and our experience changes with the mind. With our hearts devoted to the Buddhas, prayer beads can support us on the path.”
Prayer beads, also known as Buddhist beads or counting beads, are used to keep track of recitations of the Buddha’s name, sutras and mantras. Reciting the Buddha’s name is a fundamental Buddhist practice, believed to cultivate merit. One of the greatest benefits of using prayer beads is that they help focus the mind and support spiritual practice.
During the workshop, residents learned to use a threading guide to string the beads one by one. They then gently pulled the cord until the beads at both ends met snugly, before tying a knot to secure them. This careful process tested their ability to follow each step and their patience. Although seemingly simple, it was a challenge for the residents. Through a tradition passed down for over a thousand years, prayer beads have become both a tool for spiritual cultivation and a symbol of wisdom.
Yong Poh Bee, Principal of Jing Yuan Home of Compassion, expressed her gratitude to the volunteers from Ci Hang Jiang Tang for their continued companionship and support. She shared that, through working together, a warm and caring environment can be created, offering residents more comprehensive, person-centred care that supports both their physical and emotional well-being.
The prayer beads lovingly made by the Stroke Centre’s residents will be collected to raise funds for the Home’s ongoing operating expenses. Each strand carries heartfelt blessings, fostering meaningful connections and leaving a lasting impression on the hearts of those who give and receive.

Caring for the Earth Begins in the Heart: A Successful Recycling Sorting Session at Jing Yuan Home of Compassion
Every Sunday, from 9.30 a.m. to 12 noon, Jing Yuan Home of Compassion’s Setapak centre holds a recycling sorting session. On Sunday, 16 March 2025, we were grateful to welcome approximately 17 volunteers from Wish Group, who joined eight Jing Yuan volunteers for the activity.
During a sharing session, Jing Yuan‘s senior volunteer Seow Weng Foo, traced the beginnings of this recycling initiative to 2002. Back then, a group of volunteers from the Jing Yuan Good Deeds Workshop would gather every Sunday beneath a large tree in an open area outside an elderly care home to sort recyclables.
When Jing Yuan Home of Compassion was officially established in Taman Mutiara Barat, Cheras, in 2013, the activity moved to the space outside the Home. In 2019, it moved again when Jing Yuan relocated to its Setapak centre.
For more than 20 years, this weekly recycling sorting session has continued. Remarkably, several volunteers have devoted two decades to the work since its earliest days. New volunteers have also continued to join, helping to carry this spirit of service forward.
Brother Seow also shared how his attitude towards recycling had changed over the years. When he first took on the task, he was juggling other responsibilities and regarded it simply as another duty to fulfil. Through his continued involvement, however, he gradually discovered a deeper meaning. What began as a responsibility became a mission to which he devoted himself wholeheartedly.
He outlined four stages in Jing Yuan’s recycling process: discarding, collecting, sorting and selling. Recyclables come mainly from households and businesses, with each contributing different types of materials. Businesses generally provide more paper and cardboard, while household recyclables tend to be more varied.
After the materials are collected, volunteers sort and pack them by category on Sundays, ready for sale. Correct sorting is essential: it helps secure better prices and prevents recyclable materials from being treated as rubbish by recycling dealers because they have been incorrectly sorted.
Brother Seow also explored environmental issues such as valuing food and managing electronic waste, helping volunteers develop a broader understanding of environmental responsibility.
Alongside the familiar 3Rs—Reduce, Reuse and Recycle—he encouraged everyone to practise two additional Rs: Rethink and Reject unnecessary consumption. He urged participants to develop more environmentally conscious spending habits by considering whether a purchase was something they wanted, needed or truly had to have.
Following the sharing session, participants joined Jing Yuan’s recycling volunteers for practical experience. They learned to separate materials such as paper of different colours, cardboard and plastics. Through this hands-on work, they came to appreciate that sorting recyclables is also an expression of respect and care for the Earth’s resources. The session was completed in a cheerful and friendly atmosphere.
During the sharing session, many volunteers said they had gained valuable knowledge and a deeper understanding of recycling, prompting them to reconsider their own consumption habits. Some planned to share what they had learned with their families and colleagues, encouraging others to sort waste and make environmental care part of everyday life.
Jing Yuan volunteer's Mdm Siau also shared her experience. Since joining the recycling initiative, she has begun sorting waste at home and encouraging her family, relatives and friends to do the same, leading through her own actions.
Brother Seow offered a thought-provoking reminder: “Lessons that words cannot teach can be learned through experience.” It is through taking part ourselves that we truly come to understand the importance of caring for the environment.
This recycling activity helped participants understand how proper waste management can turn discarded materials into valuable resources—transforming “rubbish into gold, and gold into compassion”—to support people in need while protecting the environment.
Heartfelt Sharing · Warm Companionship · Joyful Togetherness
August 10th was a special day. The volunteers of Jing Yuan meet together to enjoyed a luncheon and sharing session allowing volunteers serving in different fields to get to know each other and exchange ideas.
Among them were volunteers from palliative care and those who have long been dedicated to Recycling sorting work. They shared their experiences and insights from their service. Although their days and methods of service at Jing Yuan differed, they all had unique and profound insights gained in the process.
It is gratifying that their insights gained from volunteer service have not only remained within the service itself, but have also been integrated into their daily lives. They bring the spirit of environmental protection and charity into their families, work, and lives, spreading their care for life and the environment like ripples, inspiring more and more people.
During the exchange, everyone listened attentively and shared sincerely, drawing new inspiration from their different service experiences. This interaction not only deepened mutual understanding but also strengthened each volunteer's resolve to continue moving forward.
On this special day, Jing Yuan also prepared a surprise birthday celebration for residents and nurses with birthdays in August and September. Early that morning, Sister Siau and Sister Chun Mui prepared boiled eggs, a traditional symbol of good fortune. Sister Siau also kindly sponsored fresh fruit, while Winnie Yong generously contributed KFC fried chicken and two beautifully decorated birthday cakes for the celebration.
Volunteers and residents sang “Happy Birthday” together, offering heartfelt wishes to the birthday celebrants. Everyone enjoyed the delicious cakes and food. Filled with laughter and smiles, the celebration brought joy to all and made it a memorable morning.

Principal of Jing Yuan Home of Compassion, Mdm. Yong Poh Mei, shared the purpose of the Buddha bathing and lamp-lighting ceremony. She encouraged everyone to nurture kind thoughts and embrace life with gratitude and joy. Through lighting lamps and offering prayers, she invited them to kindle the light within and dispel worries and darkness.
Venerable Miao Jing then explained the origins and significance of Buddha bathing, guiding residents to reflect on the ritual as a way to cleanse the body and mind, purify the heart, and wash away inner worries and afflictions.
Through the “Tzu Chi Bamboo Bank”, Jing Yuan also gave residents an opportunity to practice generosity, make wholesome aspirations, and form meaningful connections. It encouraged them to care for themselves while extending love and kindness to others.
Our heartfelt thanks to Jing Yuan’s volunteers for their enthusiastic participation and caring companionship. By joining residents in bathing the Buddha, lighting lamps, and offering prayers for blessings, they filled the occasion with peace, warmth, and joy.
Jing Yuan Home of Compassion wishes everyone a blessed Wesak Day. May peace and auspiciousness be with you always, and may your blessings and wisdom flourish.
Learning Beyond the Classroom: VTAR Electronics Students Volunteer at Jing Yuan Home of Compassion
On 22 May, 18 students from VTAR Institute’s Electronics Department, accompanied by their teacher, visited the Setapak centre of Jing Yuan Home of Compassion to volunteer their time cleaning and tidying the premises.
With guidance from Jing Yuan’s staff, the students divided the tasks among themselves and diligently cleaned both the indoor and outdoor areas. They carefully wiped down fans, tables, chairs, cabinets, and the frames of residents’ beds. They also washed wheelchairs, cleaned toilets, swept and mopped the floors, helping to create a clean and comfortable living environment for the residents.
All the students were in their first year of electronics studies. During sharing session, some shared that they regularly participated in volunteer activities, while others helped with household chores at home. For some, this was their first experience of volunteering. Regardless of their experience, everyone took part wholeheartedly, completing each task with care and enthusiasm.
The visit offered them a valuable opportunity to learn beyond the classroom and experience the meaning of service. We are grateful to the students for their dedication and for bringing care and warmth through their actions.
We also sincerely thank them for donating essential supplies, helping to ease the Home’s expenses.

"Ping Shuai Gong" Exercise
Through the thoughtful arrangements of volunteers from Meimen Life Nourishment Culture’s Petaling Jaya centre, senior instructors Xing Qi Liang and Lin Yi Ling travelled from Taiwan to visit Jing Yuan Home of Compassion’s Setapak centre on the afternoon of 19 April 2026. They personally guided residents and volunteers in practising Ping Shuai Gong, a gentle arm-swinging exercise.
Ping Shuai Gong is simple to practise and can be performed while seated or standing, making it easy for residents to incorporate into their daily routines. The practice aims to support physical and mental well-being through what Meimen describes as a process of circulation, detoxification, replenishment and balance.
Our heartfelt thanks to the two senior instructors and 9 volunteers from Meimen Life Nourishment Culture’s Petaling Jaya centre for their companionship and attentive guidance throughout the session.
For residents who have experienced a stroke, the instructors took particular care to explain and demonstrate adapted movements, helping everyone participate with confidence.
The instructors also guided Jing Yuan Home of Compassion’s staff and volunteers in learning Ping Shuai Gong, encouraging them to care for their own health and well-being while caring for residents.
May this warmth, care and companionship continue to spread, bringing health and strength to everyone.

Creative Fan-Making Workshop: Bringing Colour to Residents’ Lives
On 22 April 2026, Jing Yuan Home of Compassion held another craft activity for residents at its Stroke Centre.
Our heartfelt thanks to Agnus Tung for thoughtfully guiding this creative session. Residents decorated both sides of a plain fan, adding adorable stickers to one side and creating decoupage designs on the other. Their creativity transformed each simple fan into a colourful piece of art, with a different style on each side.

With the companionship and support of volunteers, residents completed their own unique handmade fans, one step at a time.
Jing Yuan is deeply grateful to our dedicated volunteers, whose continued support makes these craft and cultural activities possible. Alongside physical care, we hope to give residents opportunities to engage their minds and create with their hands, helping to stimulate their senses, strengthen their concentration, and rebuild confidence through a sense of achievement.
Through these activities, we hope to bring culture and art into their everyday lives, offering comfort and nourishment for the spirit.

Cyanotype Workshop: The Interplay of Light and Shadow
On 6 September, a Cyanotype Workshop was held at Rumah Kasih Jing Yuan Setapak, where a group of residents and volunteers immersed themselves in the creative process of cyanotype-making. Through the interplay of light and shadow, they discovered moments of joy and tranquillity.
Led by artist and teacher Yeoh and Tsuji. The Cyanotype process began with the residents brushing cyanotype solution onto sheets of art paper.
They then selected flowers, leaves, branches, or images that they liked, carefully arranging and composing them on the treated paper to create a picture inspired by their imagination and inner world.
Some created gardens of flowers and branches, while others expressed the faith they hold dear, including crosses that symbolize church and Amitabha Buddha gazing back with altruistic compassion.

For those living with the challenges of stroke and serious illness, the creative process offered a moment to set aside their physical and emotional burdens.
Whether the final work was perfect or imperfect mattered little. What mattered was having the freedom to express what lay within, allowing art to bring healing, dignity and renewed confidence.

【Life Education Workshop: Finding Inner Peace Through Accompanying Lives】
This was a workshop filled with love, tears, touching moments, and deep reflection.
Organised by Jing Yuan Home of Compassion, the “Life Education Workshop: Finding Inner Peace Through Accompanying Others” was held at Bodhi Park on 18 October 2026 and drew an enthusiastic response.
Guided by Founder of Blue Point Life Academy & Personal Life Coach, Mr. Yang Jia Yi , participants engaged wholeheartedly in learning and experiential activities that helped them explore life and better understand themselves.
They also practised listening attentively, understanding and accepting one another without rushing to judge. During the sound therapy session, everyone took a pause from their busy lives, allowing their minds to settle and making space to acknowledge their own feelings and needs.
Palliative Care Consultant Dr. Loh Ee Chin shared touching stories from her clinical experience. Some appear in her book, <To Care with Love>, while others sparked fresh insights through exchanges with participants. Her reflections on palliative care helped participants appreciate the preciousness of life and consider how to accompany others and face life’s farewells.
.jpeg)
The most touching moments came when participants shared their . Opening their hearts, they connected what had touched them during the workshop with their own life experiences and spoke sincerely about what they had learned.
Their insights were the greatest encouragement to the organisers. May these lessons and reflections return home with them, inspiring greater care for family, friends, and those in need within their communities, so that this warmth continues in everyday life.
Those who care for others need to be cared for too. Caregivers who are always busy looking after others also deserve kindness and attention. By first tending to our own physical and emotional well-being, we can accompany others with greater steadiness and strength. Our heartfelt thanks to both facilitators for their thoughtful guidance, and to every participant for their trust, wholehearted participation, and honest sharing.
May the learning and heartfelt moments of this day become a source of strength, helping us move forward with greater confidence and gentleness as we care for ourselves and accompany others.
Jing Yuan Home of Compassion also extends its sincere gratitude to Dato' Ang Choo Hong, Chairman of the Malaysian Buddhist Development Foundation and Bodhi Park, for kindly providing the venue and joining us in person to lend his support.
