About Xin Hui She aka Bodhi Orphanage

Xin Hui She, is not an ordinary Buddhist association, they don’t don frequent praying, they not fancy building that situated in any perfect location, you won’t even know whether there is Mahayana Buddhism centre, or Theravada Buddhism center, because, Xin Hui She is not an ordinary Buddhist centre.

As far as I can recalled back the memory where the manager told me, during our first visit to Xin Hui She, is started first as wooden house in a rural field, with one venerable master staying there, but the venerable left the Buddhist association upon some reason.

Then, they rebuilt the whole centre wish some money, but most of the raw material, they got it from the recycle centre, you can see it when you go there, some of them are just recycled item. The Buddha statues in the hall, some of them are donation courtesy from the public, which reasoned we cannot identify whether this is a Mahayana or Theravada Buddhist centre.

Behind this building is Bodhi Orphanage, a house for 11 orphans and 5 seniors’ citizen, I still remember the elder orphan is 13 years’ old, and the youngest one is 10 months old (this was in January 2010)

That time we went there, we found out that one of the orphans is having education problem – he couldn’t go to school due to he doesn’t have birth certificate. Touched heart all of us, when I give tuition to other lucky kids who able to go to school, he was standing next to us, and answer all the question that I had gave to the other kids, he is passion and desperate for a proper education; at that time, I was thinking, I can’t believe there is such parent that dumped their kid without thinking of the kid’ future.
