Sunday Dharma Function – Positive Attitude in Life

During the weekly Dharma function on 30th March, whereby 80 devotees attended, Venerable Rulian gave a talk on the right attitude to study Buddhism.
Venerable Rulian explained the right attitude and mentality of studying Buddhism are
1.Have a solemn and sincere heart to worship Buddha and study Dharma- although we might get a lot of guidance from knowledgeable friends or Venerables in the Temple, but ultimately it goes back to your hard effort to retain a peaceful soul and mind.
2.Have a “reborn” spirit- eliminate stubbornness, selfishness and worries, understand clearly we were born for the purpose of pursuing the Dharma.
3.Dharma exists in all of us, it is up to the individual to expand understand and nurture the self awareness of the Buddha mind.
4.The principal of Buddhist learning is all beings are created equal, learning to meditate and chant helps us to understand our individual awareness. Upholding the precepts helps us to cultivate self-discipline, we need to face the world with tolerance and equality.
