YAD Buddhism Class Now Part and Parcel of Temple Day

Dharma is like water, and is embraced by all. Venerable Master Hsing Yun has established Temples around the world to foresee the development of Buddhist youths; so to allow them to feel at home at the temple, and help them develop a better understanding of Buddhism.

A Dharma class was conducted on 29th August at Fo Guang Shan South Island, and those who attended included YAD 1 President Jason Liu, YAD 2 President Danny Chen and 10 other YAD members. During the class, Venerable Juexi introduced to everyone basic Buddhism concepts.

This week’s class was a continuation from last week’s topic of the “Five Skandhas”, where the Venerable gave an in-depth explanation of the topic, suggesting that the five Skandhas are a synonym for the constituents of body and mind and consciousness. These five constituents include physical form, feelings, conceptions, impulses and consciousness.

During the class, everyone also had a discussion on the notion of “form is void”, as well as the relationship between the six roots, the six desires and the six consciousnesses.

The Venerable employed practical and lively examples to allow the YAD members to gain a clearer understanding of the topic discussed, and evoked great interest from the youths who asked many questions during the class.

The youth thanked the Venerable for her enthusiastic guidance and for allowing them to deepen their understanding of Buddhism. The Buddhism class is a part of every Saturday’s YAD Temple Day, and is something YAD cannot do without.
