慈悲緣素食-古來 Metta Vegan-Kulai
緣起
分行負責人：第一次短期出家見到慈悲的海濤法師，心裡生起了想幫助他的心願。那時候，我沒辦法一時接受放生的善舉，但聽說茹素是最大的放生就決定開始吃茹素了。開始茹素之後，也希望可以推廣素食。回憶起那時候，湛日法師建議來參訪利民濟慈悲緣素食是如何經營及推廣素食。
參訪之後，我覺得也應該負責素食推廣。當時候法師也支持讓我用慈悲緣素食註冊分行。主要感謝法師慈悲給我學習的機會。那時候就一股勁兒，決定要經營素食推廣了。當時，法師只問廚師找到了嗎？在此，我也多謝愛維師姐當廚師，他兒子當我們的顧問也幫忙了好多事情。終於在2017/6/14日開始營業了。
感想
慈悲的湛日法師能給我學習的機會，也給很大的成長空間。蓮花師姐常鼓勵我，讓我不用太擔心，放心做就是了，自然會有護法來幫忙。我也常常聽法師說，慈悲無障礙。
當我面臨問題或不明白的事情時候，感謝利民濟慈悲緣素食分享經驗及提供意見給我。有挑戰的時候，當作是我的人生功課。我曾經有無數次的想放棄，可是想著法師說的一天100人吃素。一個月3000人等於救很多動物了。我一直秉持這信念走到了今天。
在此，感恩海濤法師的慈悲，讓我對佛教重拾了信心。我也感恩湛日法師的慈悲，給我學習的機會。我也感恩所有辛苦幫忙的職工。
Origin
Branch PIC: During first time I joined short-term monkhood activity, I saw the compassionate Master Hai Tao, and I wish I could give him a helping hand. At that time, I still could not accept the act of release, but when I heard that vegetarianism is the biggest release, I decided to become vegan. After starting vegan, I also hope to promote vegan habits. Recalling that, Master Zhan Ri suggested me to visit and learn how Gemencheh Metta Vegan promote vegan.
After the visit, I feel there is a responsible to promote vegan with similar way. Master Zhan Ri also supported me to register branches of the Metta Vegan. I would like to pay my gratitude to Master for his compassion with giving me an opportunity to learn and I was deciding to promote vegan. During that time, Master just asked me ‘Do you hire chef already?’ I would also like to thank Sister Ai Wei who willing to the chef and her son who help us a lot with working as a consultant for Metta Vegan. Finally, Metta Vegan Kulai been operate on 2017/6/14.
My Sentiment
The compassionate Master Sun had giving me an opportunity to learn and a lot of room for improvement. Sister Lian Hua often encouraged me no worry, just do with our own best. Naturally, there will be a someone giving a hand for us. Besides, Master always said compassion is barrier-free.
I would like to thank Gemencheh Metta Vegan for sharing experiences and providing feedback to me when I face problems or obstacles and I take it as experience and lesson. I felt to give up for countless time. Master Sun briefed that if there are 100 people having vegetarian meal everyday which equivalent 3000 people having vegetarian meal for a month and save a lot of animals. I always upholding this belief.
I am grateful to Master Hai Tao for his compassion, so that I regained confidence in Buddhism. I am also grateful to Master Sun for his compassion for giving me this opportunity to learn. I am also grateful to all the hard-working staff.
