Have You Registered Yet?

Have you registered for Aloka Foundation's 24hr Metta event? Yes, the round-the-clock chanting at SJK (C) Sungai Way, Jln SS 9A/1, Petaling Jaya from 31 December 2011 to 1 January 2012 for world peace, stability and harmony.

But wait a minute. Questions are popping in your head. Why do I have to register for chanting? And also why do I have to contribute RM30 for registration? These questions begged to be answered.

Registration is required to assist the Organising Committee in planning and anticipating the crowd during the 24 hours. It is also for the Organising Committee to maintain regular communications with registrants, which then serves to remind and update registrants on the event.

The common response from people at our promotional roadshows are: "I don't know where I’ll be (during New Year’s eve and New Year’s day)… I don’t know what I'll do then… I can’t commit myself to this yet…". This only reinforces the need for registration.

The RM30 contribution also serves as a form of commitment. On top to that, the RM30 entitles one to a metta kit or goody bag comprising a compendium of metta book, a candle in a glass which is to be a light offering to be made to the Triple Gem, etc. Part of the RM30 will also be utilised a contribution to the sanghika dana.

For the convenience of many, registration can be made online via www.24hrmetta.org and payment can also be made online via ipay88.

Register now and be part of this landmark even that will illuminate the world with metta and foster peace, stability and harmony. What a great way to usher in the new year!
