亲爱的 麦可. 罗区格西，

我们是一个由三名成员组成的小家庭。当我女儿幼小的时候，我对她十分严格。我想要她成才，在学业上无形中给了她很多压力。 我的丈夫经常出差，留我一人全权督促她的学习。

在2014年10月, 开始出现了状况。 我女儿陷入了忧郁症，也起了自杀的念头。我们把她带到医院，因情绪不稳定被诊断为心因性暴食症。她于2015年多次入院。

在2016年，她在医院接受治疗，停学一年。我们遇到了一群很棒的医疗队和社工，他们不断告诉我们，家庭的支持对她恢复之路是非常重要的。他们也使我们意识到家庭的不和谐。

在这段期间，我们的姐夫，Chiner 和我们分享了金刚商法。

我的丈夫开始和她一起参加读书会，并了解了“笔的故事”。他最初质疑“种植你想要的”概念，但是还是尝试了种植 “时间种子”，并取得了惊人的成绩。他的下一个目标就是要种出“家庭和睦”，和 ”改善女儿忧郁症” 的种子。他也向金刚商业学院的陈丽薇导师学习，如何种植不同的种子。渐渐，家里的环境就开始改变了。

Karen Bok Singapore我们看到家人开始和睦相处，停学一年的女儿也决定在2017年继续返回校园。 我很惊讶，并决定开始参加读书会，了解更多关于金刚商法和种子体系。我也开始练习瑜伽，帮助我平衡脉轮以达致内心的平静。瑜伽也助我控制了急躁的脾气。

我们感到很高兴，家庭关系有了很大的改善，女儿也刚刚完成了她的 O-水准考试。

非常感恩金刚体系教导我们如何改变家庭，并将继续把它们运用在我们的日常生活中。

With gratitude and respect,

From A Life of Struggle to Dreams Come True – Bao, Vietnam

I would love to send my gratitude to Geshe Michael Roach, Mr. Nguyen Cong Binh, Ms. Hong Phuong Lan, Mr. Scott, Ms. Orit and all the DCI teachers and members around the world who gave me knowledge and shared all their experience to help me get what I have today. I love you all!!!

Tina Bao Vietnam

2 years ago, I was struggling with my life with heavy losses from my start-up company. I was often busy until late at night, sometimes having meetings until midnight to find ways for my company to succeed,  meeting with partners,or looking for potential partners/customers.

I don’t have time for my family, especially my 2-year-old son, and my husband lived in another country. I was about to be bankrupt and close to giving up the company which I “gave birth to”. My staff turnover rate was off and on, they were fighting with one another, and not cooperating with the new hires.

Then thank God, DCI came my way and my life has changed from then on. Since Dec 2016 after the retreat in Thailand, I was lucky to be able to join a study group with Mr. Nguyen Cong Binh, who is the organizer and leader of DCI Vietnam, and I started practicing everyday.

After a few months, I started to see results more clearly.

 

 

I used the four steps in my company to help another company with my entire team.

Every week, we go to the other company to help the owner to not only make money, but to also help him set up a website, with marketing, introducing new customers, and most importantly teaching him how to plant seeds, with the four steps.

We go to his company to support him with increasing his sales volume.

For myself, I’ve always kept in mind to do the top 10 good seeds in every single thing I am doing everyday.

I write the 6 times book daily and post it to my study group chat everyday as well. I also attend the study group every week consistently. I also join the Coach Team with Mr. Binh whenever we have DCI event in Vietnam.

I put money in my piggy bank every night, and my husband and my now 4-year-old son also do the same, keeping the commitment everyday as I learnt from the law of the seeds that seeds double every 24 hours.

I also set time aside to plant seeds on my team in the company, by caring for them, setting time aside to meet them every week by starting with a dance, followed by coffee meditation; whereby I tell our team what we did well and how we were kind to others last week. I also taught them meditation, and we read a book by Geshe Michael together. I also set time aside to go for lunch with my team every week on the day of meeting, sticking to it like a commitment.

 

Soon, the money started flowing to me even though I’ve cut all my salary in my company as the CEO. Opportunities started coming and my passive income has increased more than 3 times and it is quite stable, with which I could buy land and house. I also bought a new car. My finances are now in a totally different state.

 

Now, I have lots of time to send my son to school everyday, and I am able to pick him up 4 days a week. I’ve time for my son, time for my husband and time for myself. Now, I manage my time and schedule it with more ease than before.

My company’s staff  are now totally different. They work together with  harmony, fun and love. I have a reliable manager who manages everything for me, hence I don’t need to go to the office everyday.

I’m moving to the Board of Directors and playing the role mostly as an investor more than a CEO now. My staff loves me a lot.

I’ve a very nice and kind assistant, who also likes DCI very much and practices the principles daily. I also planted seeds to attend SCIM (Sedona College of International Management) Academic Session 3 by contributing 200,000vnđ (about USD8 a month) for the SCIM scholarship fund for 6 months, and now I am here in the U.S. attending the SCIM Academic Session 3, training to become a DCI teacher.

Again, I am thankful to Geshe Michael Roach and the Diamond Cutter System.

Thank you my brother & sister, mentors, teachers, Mr. Nguyen Cong Binh, Ms.Hong Phuong Lan, and all DCI friends. I love you all. And I love DCI very much.

 

Lots of love, passion, happiness 🙂

Sincerely,
BAO

From Family Crisis to Harmony – Karen Bok & Nai Kim Chuan, Singapore

Dear Geshe Michael Roach,

We like to share our story as follows.

KC Karen

We are a small family of 3 members. When my daughter was young, I was very strict on her. I want her to excel and I kept pushing her to do lots of assessment and no play because I want her to make the family proud. My husband travelled frequently out of Singapore for business and I was left alone to give her 100% of my attention.

Then disaster struck in Oct 2014. My daughter snapped and fell into depression. She even had thoughts of suicide. We brought her to the hospital and she was diagnosed with Bulimia Nervosa ( eating disorder) and Emotional Instability. She was admitted into the hospital several times in 2015. And in 2016, she stopped school for one year while undergoing therapy treatment in the hospital. We met a good team of doctors and social workers who kept telling us that family support is very important for her road to recovery. They also made us realise that the family is not in harmony.

During this period, we were introduced to the Diamond Cutter System by our sister-in-law, Chiner.

My husband started to attend study groups with her and learnt the “Pen Story”. He was initially quite skeptical about the term “plant what you want” but then went ahead to try out planting time seed with amazing success. His next important seeds he set to plant are harmony for the family and anti-depression for our daughter. He went on to learn planting different seeds in order to achieve these from Teacher Kelly. Then things started to change at home.

Karen Bok SingaporeWe noticed the family to be more harmonious and our daughter who was so afraid to go to school for a year decided to continue school in 2017. I was amazed and decided to attend study groups myself to learn more about the Diamond Cutter way of seed planting. I also started to practice yoga in one of the study groups and this helps me to balance my Chakra to achieve inner peace. It helps to control my quick temper which is one of my shortcomings.

We are very happy that our family relationships have improved so much and daughter has just completed her O level exams.

We are very grateful how the teachings of the Diamond Cutter System changed our family and will continue to apply them in our daily life.

With gratitude and respect,
Karen Bok and Nai Kim Chuan
