About the Competition
Ever come across a book which you felt made a huge difference to your life?
Ever thought how great it would be if you could share that book with the rest of the world?
Ever imagine how that book could make the same difference in the lives of others?
Your chance is here!
To commemorate the 30th anniversary, the Buddhist Library has launched a M.A.D (Make A Difference) Book Competition.
All you need to do is to tell us in 3oo words what that book is briefly about and more importantly, how it has impacted you and made a big difference to your life.
One important point to note is that the book must be related to Buddhism.
Every month from Mar to Dec 2012, we will select one entry to be featured on the Buddhist Library webpage.
The selection is based on TWO criteria: Originality and Ability to inspire others.
Each featured entry will be rewarded with a $300 book voucher from OpenTrolley (opentrolley.com.sg).
