Peling Choekor(spiritual heritage)
My greatest motivation came from the opportunity to serve others and contribute to a meaningful spiritual event. I believed that volunteering was a way of expressing gratitude, kindness, and compassion. Seeing participants benefit from the teachings and knowing that my efforts helped create a comfortable environment inspired me to work harder each day. The guidance and encouragement from the organizers and spiritual teachers also motivated me to remain committed throughout the entire program.
At the end of the program, all the serving team members, volunteers, and dancers performed in front of Rinpoche. We received Certificates of Appreciation and blessings from Rinpoche. After serving lunch and tshog, all the people got blessings (wang) from Rinpoche and from other lamas. After completing the final cleanup, we bid farewell to everyone and returned home with wonderful memories, valuable experiences, and renewed motivation.
Through this program, I learned the importance of teamwork, responsibility, discipline, and selfless service. I also realized that even small tasks, such as maintaining cleanliness, play an important role in the success of a large event. This experience strengthened my confidence, communication skills, and motivation to continue serving my community and we were very blessed to dedicate service during the Peling Choekor.
