放下不是放弃。
Right ‘letting go’ is not ‘giving up’;
it is acceptance of things as they are for now,
till they can be bettered later.
Similarly '随缘' is not about leaving things to chance. It is to know that you have done your utmost best and then accept the fruit of your labor without regrets. A point which I think Buddhists in Singapore constantly missed out and in the same way, have a misguided opinion on Dhamma propagation to young people. Truth be told, the way Dhamma is being propagated is archaic and at times, ineffective. A close kalyana mitra in her 50s once shared with me that by the time I'm her age, Buddhist temples will probably become museums/white elephants.
