We are a bunch of young and committed people.
All of us are or were from the National University of Singapore Buddhist Society, Nanyang Technological University Buddhist Society, Nanyang Polytechnic Buddhist Society and so on and so forth.
CAS was officially set up and registered under the Registry of Societies in 1995. In 2004, CAS joined the Singapore Commission of Charities and is now formally regarded as one of the Voluntary Welfare Organisation(VWO) in Singapore. We have done or are organising many activities: - care and counselling for the chronically sick and visually handicapped, tuition for students from financially challenged and not financially challenged background, professional advice for some tertiary institution's Buddhist societies, establishment of some local Buddhist centers, food distribution for financially depleted families, assistance to any charity organisations both Buddhist and non-Buddhist, etc.
We are or used to be founders, staff advisers, presidents, vice- presidents, secretaries, treasurers or active, dispensable or indispensable members of some tertiary institution's Buddhist Societies, local Buddhist centers.
On a private basis, we support more than 200 over monks and nuns in their education, health care and many other things from all over the world: Serajhe, Drepung Loseling, Gyudmey Drikung Kagyu, Drukpa Lineage, Nyingma, Sri Lankan, Burmese, etc.
In additon, we are actively doing our sincerest prayers to Lord Buddha, Mother Tara, Guru Padmasambhava and all Buddhas of all directions and time to all our precious and dear mother sentient beings all over, above and across the universe. We also did counselling with SANA and the Singapore Buddhist Federation.
We have no landed properties, no Dharma centres, no accumulated money, etc. - so we have less headache and heartache.
Although not always successful, we only have the purest wish to benefit other entities. "Entities" because it includes all beings on Mother Earth.
We are very grateful to many, many things. "Things" because it includes both ordinary beings and extra-ordinary beings.
The extra-ordinary beings include Tenzin Gyatso or the Dalai Lama, the Buddha of Compassion, the late Ganden Trisur Rinpoche, Lama or Khenpo Dorje from the local Sakya Centre, our most loving Kalsang Rinpoche from the local Palyul Centre, Lhatse Tulku, most precious Lopon Tsechu Rinpoche, Shangpa Tulku, Khenpo Tsultrim, Khenpo Chimed, Khenchen Thrangu, the Drikung Kyabgon, the Sakya Trizin, Kathok Khenchen, our most powerful Lord of all Refuge - Gyudmed Khensur Dorje Tashi, Khenpo Tsewang Gyatso, Ngorchen Luding Khenpo, precious and sincere Penor Holiness, the late Geshe Lama Konchog, Tarig Tulku, Sangye Khadro the Buddhist nun, TCH and Ole, Chimey Luding, Chokling Rinpoche, the Ganden Tripa, the late Sharpa Choje Lobsang Nyima, Ajahn Jotiko, Ajahn Chah, Pema Gyaltsen Yangsi, his attendant and my elder brother, Choezed-la, Lama Wangdu, my monk, Ngawang Tsenlek, Master Hsingyun, Khenpo Jigphun, Nechung Dorje Drakden the truly great, Lord Karmapa, Mahakala the reliable and great, Mother Theresa, Mother Tara the sweet and beautiful, Mother White Parasol, our nagging parents, etc.
