25th Buddhism Study Program

Based on the invitation from program organizer, this time, he delivers the topic“Etiquette in Mindfulness”.

In practice, Buddhists often focus in how to be free from samsara, or at least, reborn in good realm while ignoring another vital issue: practice to have ease and bliss during our path to liberation. Then he shares the mass three practical methods in cultivation as following:

1) Use wisdom, knowledge to grasp thoroughly that this sound body of ours is precious. Many sentient beings cannot be born in human realm while others are born incapably. Many people cannot mindfully practice walking/sitting meditation... From that point of view, we should respect and be satisfied with our current situation.

2) Every movement as walking, standing, lying, sitting or breathing..., from thought to action, we should acknowledge what are happening in every moment. Our body and mind should be well matched to experience the wonderfulness of awakening.

3) Profoundly contemplate to get rid of ignorant and clinging manners of temporary/, impermanent issues in mind.

In more than an hour of sharing, the Venerable has offered audience very simple methods in cultivation that bring practical benefits in meditating as well as in life, making every micro and simple activity/thought the wonderful and extraordinary ones.
