Dharma Talk “Asking for Help” – The 93rd Seven-Day Retreat

On Dec. 10th, 2019 (Nov. 15th, LC), Ven. Thich Dao Quang, a Hoang Phap monk, presented at the main lecture hall for giving Dharma talks to the 93rd retreat course participants on the title of “Asking for Help”.

Our living in the community can not be single but depend on many things. Among them is the help from others. However, if we always ask for help and depend on them too much it gives an offensive feeling in others’ eyes. So how to be interdependent and diminish the asking for help from other people which can break easily most of the relationship? Here are some ways to consider:

Be self-financial that our lives no need to depend on anyone else.

Take the Initiative in transportation that you won’t bother anyone.

Work hard in your ability to present happiness.

He also shared something about the spirit of having compassion and wisdom in Buddhism. These categories need to parallel developing for the highest benefit of self and others. When you have both of them in practice you have no more care of losing or win, gain or loss. And from this, you easily gain the wholesome dharma for your present and future.
