Re: Ju Shi Lin's free vegetarian food 24 Hours round the clock.

ya la.. i never had 6 month bonus before ley.....

My maternal grandfather is a devoted buddhist.

 

In the 1980s, when I was a small kid, we used to go there for Sunday prayer, followed by a complimentary vegetarian meal. During that time, the food wasn't spread in the buffet style. Everyone's used chopsticks would get into the common pot of bee-hoon. Hygiene wasn't a major concern back then.

 

But, it is a really kind place for the needy.

Donations should be channeled directly to places like this.

Something I respect about 居士林:

 

Whenever they have excess stocks of food supply, they would donate to other needy religion/racial groups.

ya yesterday channel 8 news interviewed this YOUNG able PRC guy citing low salary as a reason..LOL...and the video also shown this uncle (dont look poor) filling his plate high up...woah must be very hungry for the free food.

 

my mum said such free service always abused by foreign workers but what to do? temple cannot reject ppl. its the karma that u will reap if u decided to fight for free food with the poors. it is ok to eat if u but if u can afford, sld donate a few dollars mah.

[Maersk1]

bro you're right, there is anything the temple can do about it...they just hope people don't abuse it....leave the foods for those really needed.
