HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO US!!!

It was our birthday on the 21st of July :)

On that very day, we started off with just a few of us who wanted to propagate dharma to their fellow youths through interesting and fun ways.

Without our pioneers, who started Young Buddhist Chapter 11years ago, we may not have met some of the most important people in our lives.
Some of us found the love of our life here, some of us found our "Kalyanamitras" and most importantly many of us are learning the Way of Life.

So we would like to thank all of those who have contributed so so so much of their time and effort into Young Buddhist Chapter. No matter how minor the contribution, you have helped us grow and developed, which allowed us to be where we are right now.

With abundance of gratitude,
Young Buddhist Chapter

For those who have been to our past camps and are coming again this June, you should know what camp night is about right??


I'm opening the option for you all to request for songs, be it Techno/Dance/R&B/Pop and etc. Dedicating it to a special someone you know with a secret message?? Want to hear a particular song you can dance with your friends in camp?


No problem!! Just leave me a pm with your name via msn (jb07@hotmail.com)or at my facebook (http://www.facebook.com/#!/Ninja.jB) with the song request! Don't be shy because its not opened for campers only, even the leaders can dedicate it to you! :D

Don't worry if you didn't manage to make a dedication before camp starts because you can do so in camp!

Note: Song requests are subjected to availability and time constraint.

Once again, bringing you the best of the best music in YBC Camps this is your camp DJ jB @ Jesper signing off~!

KMSPKS' Youth Focus Group

Hi all! There is going to be like a forum discussion at PKS this sun and next sat to talk about any questions you have regarding Buddhism.

During this event, you can voice out any of your queries (e.g Why do we need to go to temple? Can we don't go? or Why do we need to chant in pali? Can we do it in English? etc. )

This conversation is held so as to learn what are the youths (like me and you) thinking about Buddhism these days and try to understand the new generation thinking.

I think it's quite meaningful so if you have the time to spare and just have nothing to do during your weekends, why not just go down, share your views and opinions while enjoying some light refreshments?

Its just a relaxing conversation session so if you're interested can either tell me by tuesday den we compile and see if we can go together OR you can just go ahead and email them yourself. =]
