Buddhism attracting more young people

Here's what drew my attention:

Singapore Exchange chief Hsieh Foo Hua, 57, for example, is a staunch Christian who attends Buddhist talks, especially those by high monks.

He said: 'Buddhism is a very embracing and non- exclusive religion...I am fundamentally rooted as a Christian but I am impressed and influenced by Buddhist thinking, which has helped me in the uplifting of the mind and spirit.'

A colleague sent me this:

浴佛浴心，让生命源泉洗去心中挂碍，学习般若佛法得安详自在，远离颠倒梦想。法喜像流水般从过去现在到未来，生生不息伴随着你。卫赛节快乐。
