Come and join us for a meaningful movie sharing session and learn some values regarding the true meaning of HAPPINESS =)

Here's a short synopsis for The Ultimate Gift:

When Jason's incredibly wealthy grandfather passed away, he assumed that he will be given a huge sum of inheritance at his disposal. However, he is in for shock when he discovered that his grandfather actually devised 12 tasks for him, or what he called as 'Gifts', before he can receive his inheritance from his grandfather.
These 12 gifts include - work, money, friends, learning, problems, family, laughter, dreams, giving, gratitude, a day and love - challenging the playboy Jason to a journey of discoveries.

weekly dharma quote 12


Rain falls,
wind blows,
plants bloom,
leaves mature
and are blown away;
these phenomena are all
interrelated with causes and conditions,

are brought about by them,
and disappear as the
causes and conditions
change.

weekly dharma quote 11


Thousands of candles can be
lighted from a single candle,
and the life of the candle will not be
shortened.

Happiness never decreases
by being shared.
