The Sadhu Team

I am still wondering how the term "Sadhu Team" could so effectively send icy spasms down Sumantri-didi's spine. He was mischeviously shivering up and down when I mentioned this term to him at his hall, haha.

Those who remained active in the buddhist student circle will not find the term "Sadhu Team" unfamiliar. Its part of the 'Combined Retreat' that will be conducted for the STIBS.

Frankly speaking, my very first reaction to this combine retreat was a very positive one. I thought its a very refreshing and new idea, definitely worth embracing and meaningful to the newbies. On the flop side, I feel that since the sch schedule is getting more hectic and busy towards the mid-semester, time priority shld be given to hold indiv TI MC retreats. The indiv MC retreat is the best time for the newbies to bond together as a comm, and probably the ONLY time the ex-MC can spend time effectively with their successors to share with them their experiences and history fo the society.

Nevertheless, credits shld be given to the organisers for their painstaking effort and wonderful ideas. Its definitely not easy for them to organise such events. So i'll still be supportive of the camp despite having misgivings abt the timing of the camp. SADHU to the all the Dharma workers!

Another grp of ppl have also earned my respect - the NUSBS Alumni (i say this not becos i am part of it now, ok?). Despite receiving very weak supports from even those formerly very 'on' & active nusbs members, the few of them persisted, in aim to take care of those freshly graduated BS members. I am too new in it so I cant comment much on their visions and plannings, but surely i am very impressed by their hearts & efforts.

Together, we form the Sadhu Team, haha - i feel i belong more to the Mara team though.
