In Memoriam

In remembrance of the passing of Dr Molejon one of our best adviser.

We always remember

IN 2008 I got this message from Robin,

This is to inform you that one of our great adviser/professor Dr Florencio Molejon passed away. A memorial service was held May 23 at the Arlington Chapel in Araneta Avenue Quezon City. Robin

We mourn the passing of Dr Florecio A. Molejon, our mentor, professor, and friend. He is our adviser since the beginning of MEDICI OMNES DUCIENS. He is an avid supporter of MEDICUS since its inception by the founding members. Critical support was given by Dr Molejon during the time that MCU could not understand why there is a need for MEDICUS within the University. On this picture which was taken sometime between 1985 - 1986. He was with the active members of that time (Ne Plus Ultra and Esprit De Corps), a picture for posterity. He was on the extreme left and looking very young, just like the rest of the group. He may not have passed our ceremonies but Dr Molejon is a MEDICUS at heart, mind, and ways.

On the 2nd Foundation Anniversary of Medici Omnes Duciens, Dr Molejon is the only senior adviser.

He gave this message to MEDICUS on this occasion on September 1, 1984.

I wish to extend my greetings to the officers and members of the MEDICI OMNES DUCIENS on the occasion of its 2nd Foundation Anniversary.

It is indeed a great pleasure and privilege to be with the organization, believing that it is instrumental in fostering camaraderie among medical students and enhancing a healthy University atmosphere.

Towards the realization of our goal, a concerted effort among all members is needed and the organization to uphold its constitution and by-laws.

Florencio A. Molejon MD

Senior Adviser

To The Seekers Of Truth

To the seekers of truth the Buddha says:

"Do not accept anything on (mere) hearsay -- (i.e., thinking that thus have we heard it for a long time). Do not accept anything by mere tradition -- (i.e., thinking that it has thus been handed down through many generations). Do not accept anything on account of mere rumors -- (i.e., by believing what others say without any investigation). Do not accept anything just because it accords with your scriptures. Do not accept anything by mere suppositions. Do not accept anything by mere inference. Do not accept anything by merely considering the reasons. Do not accept anything merely because it agrees with your pre-conceived notions. Do not accept anything merely because it seems acceptable -- (i.e., thinking that as the speaker seems to be a good person his words should be accepted). Do not accept anything thinking that the ascetic is respected by us (therefore it is right to accept his word).

"But when you know for yourselves -- these things are immoral, these things are blameworthy, these things are censured by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken conduce to ruin and sorrow -- then indeed do you reject them.

"When you know for yourselves -- these things are moral, these things are blameless, these things are praised by the wise, these things, when performed and undertaken, conduce to well-being and happiness -- then do you live acting accordingly."

Note: Buddhism is neither a religion in the sense in which that word is commonly understood, for it is not "a system of faith and worship owing any allegiance to a supernatural being."
