22-8-2011 GM, are you in a rush?

The recent events at Caotun temple.

After dinner, GM went round giving blessing by touching all students' head.

Some of the volunteers that are supposed to maintain order are too rough.

I was walking by the side following GM & chanting GM's mantra with the crowd.

I noticed that some volunteers grab those that had the blessing, lift them up from the side & shuffled them backwards & away.

I understand that we have to clear the kneeling crowd after they got blessings, but I would advocate the attention on safety of fellow students.

Grabbing people from the side, one must let them stabilised before asking them to turn and move backwards away from the kneeling lines.

The atmosphere created is like telling everyone that GM is rushed for time and don't like to be delayed.

This is very far off from GM's mindset of infinite compassion for all.

If the situation didn't improve, someone is going to get hurt by falling.

In Jakarta, outside Mada Tantri, the crowd pushed forward and I almost landed in a flower planter if not for the helping hand of one of the chapter's personnel.

GM would be very sad if anyone got hurt just to get blessing or be near him.

I sincerely hope someone do something fast.
