Basic to Buddhism Class Enlightens All

On the night of 22nd May, a class on the concepts of Buddhism was held at Fo Guang Shan South Island. This class was attended by over 20 people including BLIA South Island Committee members, BLIA South Island Young Adult Division members and many devotees. During the session, Venerable Juexi taught the class various concepts of Buddhism.

Venerable Juexi encouraged students to stick to the moral values promoted by Buddhism and to be careful of their behaviour and speech to avoid falling into bad habits. She also supported the students in continuing to boost their Buddhist knowledge and to persist in studying it. To answer the queries of many students, she also explained the difference between taking full and part precepts. From Venerable Juexi’s explanation, the students felt that they have gained greater understanding and motivation to learn the concepts behind Buddhism and were encouraged to grasp all chances to learn more and take up or adhere to precepts.
