| 5/5/26 | AWAKENING INTELLIGENCE | AWAKENING INTELLIGENCEI finished the project. Hit send. Leaned back.Felt that quiet pride. Done.But then, a question surfaced. Not loud. Not dramatic. Just... there."Could this have been better?"Not "Was this good enough?" But "Could I have done this differently?"That question—that's where it starts.We know this feeling, don't we? That moment when the work is done.The relief. The satisfaction. The urge to close the laptop and walk away.Most of us stop there. And there's nothing wrong with that.But some people don't.They sit with the work a little longer.Not to punish themselves. Not to spiral into perfectionism.Just to ask: "What did I miss?"A chef finishes a dish. Tastes it one more time.Not because it's bad. Because it could be sharper.An engineer ships the code. Then opens it back up.Looking for what no one else would notice.They do this not for praise. Not for profit.They do it because of something deeper.A quiet responsibility to the person who'll use what they made.This is where intelligence lives.Not in knowing everything. But in the humility to know:my best today can be better tomorrow.THE MORE YOU QUESTION, THE SHARPER YOU BECOME.Not someday. Right now.In that next thing you finish. In that moment before you walk away.That question—"Could this be better?"—that's not doubt. That's INTELLIGENCE waking up.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 4/29/26 | The Heaviest Thing You Carry | The Heaviest Thing You CarryYour shoulders feel heavy. Not from carrying things, but from carrying yourself.There's a kind of tiredness that sleep doesn't fix. Not from working too hard. From the constant effort of making sure you matter.Most of us don't notice we're doing this. But watch closely. We craft what we say before we say it. We check how we're received after we say it. We track who noticed, who didn't, who respected us, who didn't. All day, every day. Without realizing, we're running a machine that never turns off.And here's what that machine costs. Every time we need to be right, something tightens. Every time someone doesn't see us the way we need to be seen, something hardens. Every time we make ourselves the center of the story, the world gets very, very small.You've felt it before. A conversation where time disappeared. A moment with someone where nothing needed to be proven. That feeling wasn't an accident. That was the self stepping aside for a moment.Because here's what people who've studied the mind have quietly noticed — the lighter a person carries themselves, the more they feel what others feel. Not imagine it, not sympathize from a distance, actually feel it. As if the line between themselves and everyone else had quietly dissolved.There's a moment when someone is talking to you and you're actually listening. Not preparing your response. Not wondering how you look. Just there. Most of us have felt that, once or twice. That's not a technique. That's what happens when the self gets out of the way.This isn't about becoming nothing. It's about carrying less. Less defense, less performance, less of the exhausting work of maintaining who you've decided you are.Because the heaviest thing most of us carry isn't our problems. It's the constant weight of the self we're trying to protect.Somewhere along the way, we forgot that we were enough before we started building. Not later. Right now. In your very next breath.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 4/28/26 | FACING YOURSELF | FACING YOURSELFI once said something I knew I shouldn’t say. The moment it left my mouth I felt it. That small shift in the room. The way someone’s face changes when a word lands wrong. So I told myself what most of us say. Anyone would’ve said it. I was pushed too far. And just like that I moved on. Most of us don’t even notice when we do this. How quickly we become our own best lawyers. A few weeks later I saw a friend sitting alone. Corner of a café. Face heavy. Mind somewhere else. He had snapped at a colleague. Something small. “Stupid,” he said. “They forgave me three days ago. I haven’t forgiven myself.” The next week I saw him leaving a temple before the city woke up. I asked what he was doing there. He was quiet for a moment. “Sitting with what I did,” he said. “Really sitting with it.” Not to feel better. Not to move on faster. Just refusing to let himself off easy. Each time he bowed he was facing something most of us spend our whole lives avoiding. Our pride. Our own capacity for cruelty. Not punishing himself. Knowing himself. I thought about the glass for a long time. Not the sound it made. The silence after. The way I looked around the room to see if anyone would challenge me. Nobody did. And that was the problem. Because when no one holds us accountable we slowly learn to hold ourselves to nothing. And we call that moving on. People who study the mind often notice something quietly devastating. The easier we are on ourselves the harder we become on everyone else. Not because we’re bad people. But because mistakes we never examine don’t disappear. They only change shape. There’s a moment right after something breaks. You can feel it. The pull toward excuse. The door marked “anyone would have.” Most of us walk through it without even slowing down. My friend taught me to stop at that door. Just stop. Not forever. Just long enough to really look at what you did. And who you were in that moment. That’s not punishment. That’s the only way the person you hope to become ever gets a chance to appear.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 4/26/26 | THE SECRET TO ENDLESS VIRTUE | THE SECRET TO ENDLESS VIRTUEHe talked about everyone. Every conversation, someone got cut down. I watched it for years. Slowly, the calls stopped. The visits stopped. Until one day — his phone just sat there. Silent. Full of names that no longer rang. He didn't see it coming. But the rest of us did. That's the quiet law underneath everything. Not punishment. Not reward. Just what you plant, you eventually sit inside. We know this feeling, don't we? That moment you chose the sharp word. And felt it echo back months later, in a room that felt emptier than before. Karma isn't lightning. It's weather. Slow, cumulative, undeniable. But there's a second gate. Harder to see. Harder still to walk through. I heard about a man — thirty years building his empire. Every deal won. Every rival crushed. He had everything. Then his body gave out. In that hospital room, stripped of leverage and titles, something cracked open. He wept for people he'd hurt. Felt grateful for small kindnesses he'd dismissed. For the first time in decades, he loved without agenda. The ego had loosened. And underneath it, something vast. Because here's what I've noticed: the lighter a person carries themselves, the more room they have for others. Not as strategy. Not as virtue performance. Just genuine space. Real warmth. The heavy ego shrinks the world to one person. The loosened ego expands it to everyone. I've noticed something. The people who carry the least bitterness — they're not the ones who never got hurt. They're the ones who stopped adding to it. That's the path. Not perfection. Not arrival. Just the gradual, quiet lightening of the self.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 4/18/26 | EXPLANATION OF TAKING REFUGE IN THE THREE JEWELS | EXPLANATION OF TAKING REFUGE IN THE THREEJEWELSToday, we invitepractitioners to learn the meaning of Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels.The Meaning ofTaking Refuge in the Three JewelsTaking Refuge inthe Three Jewels, in full, means taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, andthe Sangha."Takingrefuge" comes from the Sanskrit/Pali word Namo, which means todedicate one's entire life to follow and revere.This means thatfrom the moment we take refuge in the Three Jewels, we revere the Buddha withwholehearted devotion. From this point on, we become disciples of the Buddha,following the true Dharma and relying on the Sangha.What does itmean to take refuge in the Buddha?Who is the Buddha?The Buddha is the Fully Enlightened One who has completely transcended thecycle of birth and death (samsara).He renounced allwealth and royal privilege to seek the path of spiritual cultivation. After sixyears of ascetic practice in the forest and forty-nine days of deep meditationunder the Bodhi tree, He attained Supreme Enlightenment and became the Buddha.He is thehistorical Buddha who appeared in this world: Shakyamuni Buddha, ourFundamental Teacher.In summary, takingrefuge in the Buddha means taking refuge in the Enlightened One — a being whohas transcended samsara and become the Teacher of both humans and celestialbeings.From now on, wevow, life after life, to follow the path of the Buddha.First: The highestattainment in this universe is not a god or deity, but Enlightenment.Second: All beings,if they practice according to the Buddha's teachings, can attain the sameSupreme Enlightenment as the Buddha.Third: After takingrefuge in the Buddha, we no longer take refuge in false deities or spirits.Taking Refuge inthe DharmaThe Dharma is theteachings left by the Buddha in the Tripitaka (Buddhist scriptures).Through theBuddha's teachings, we gain a path and a guiding light for our lives.The Dharma alsomeans truth and righteousness.Therefore, whenhearing that something is a Buddhist teaching, we should not blindly accept it,but reflect on it carefully and with a clear mind.After taking refugein the Buddha, we must respect His teachings, diligently study the Dharma, andput it into practice.Taking Refuge inthe SanghaThe Sangha is thethird jewel of the Three Jewels.It is through theSangha — those who dedicate their entire lives to practicing the Buddha'steachings — that we have living examples of moral integrity in this world.However, we mustexercise discernment, recognizing and relying only on those members of theSangha who genuinely practice and uphold the path.After taking refugein the Sangha, we should not associate closely with misguided teachers orharmful companions.This is the meaningof Taking Refuge in the Three Jewels (Buddha – Dharma – Sangha).#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 4/2/26 | Goodness Starts with the Smallest Acts | Goodness Starts with the Smallest Acts Many people have kind hearts and want to do good deeds, but their circumstances are difficult. They see their poor neighbors and wish to share, see a damaged road and want to help repair it, notice places in need and long to contribute but they themselves lack the means. This can make them feel sad, thinking: “Without money, how can I do good deeds?” In fact, doing good is not just about giving money or possessions. Anyone can start sowing goodness, beginning with the smallest actions.For example, offering a timely word of encouragement, defending an animal being treated badly, helping someone within their capabilities, or simply living kindly without harming anyone. By regularly doing these small acts of goodness, our hearts gradually open, and good fortune follows. Eventually, as life improves, we will have the means to do greater deeds. Most importantly, we must keep a heart willing to help others and never stop cultivating goodness each day.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/26/26 | The Power of Compassion | The Power of Compassion Regardless of whether those who come to us are good or not, please remain kind and forgiving. Whether they come to take advantage, to ask for favors, or even harbor ill intentions, let us not take it to heart. Our part is simply to love, to treat them kindly, and to sincerely help them first. Because only love that arises from the heart and steadfast patience can truly transform others’ hearts. Gradually, the gentleness and kindness in our way of life will naturally spread, inspiring those around us to love one another and live better lives.There will be times when we feel truly lonely and out of place in the community we live in, for no one seems to be like us. We wholeheartedly revere the Buddha, yet they do not care. We find peace at the temple gate, yet they find it strange. We choose to live in forbearance and peace, while they are used to rivalry and argument.But please do not be discouraged. Patiently stay true to the path you have chosen. Keep loving, keep helping, and keep building beautiful connections each day. In time, people will feel the sincerity within us. And when they change—even just a little—that alone is already something truly precious.Life outside is complicated, and people’s hearts are unpredictable. But as long as we hold fast to love and perseverance, that love will begin to spread to those closest to us, making life gentler and more harmonious. We don’t need to change the whole world; as long as we keep our kindness and patience, we are already helping make this world a better place.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/25/26 | Meditation: The Path to Inner Morality | Meditation: The Path to Inner Morality A person who does not practice meditation cannot master their own mind.When one cannot master their mind, they become controlled by greed, selfishness, and anger or hatred — and will end up doing wrong.But a person who practices meditation can master their mind and knows how to choose what is right.If the entire society knew how to practice meditation, if everyone raised their moral awareness, then society would naturally become less divided.Those who are poor but have cultivated merit will rise above their circumstances, and those who are rich yet possess morality will know how to help the poor — and thus society will be very beautiful.We do not pull the rich down; we lift the poor up.We lift the poor up by first uplifting their morality, and at the same time, when the rich have morality, they too will reach out their hands to help lift the poor.A society like that would be truly beautiful — one guided by fair laws, yet enriched by humane, flexible, and compassionate policies that allow people to help and uplift one another.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/23/26 | Everyone is a source of inspiration | Everyone is a source of inspiration The disciple said:“Master, I’ve read these vows and prayers — each one feels so vast and lofty. I’m afraid I won’t be able to live up to them.”The Master smiled gently and said:“That’s not how it is, my child. A great vow isn’t meant to scare you — it’s meant to give your heart a direction.Each day, when you make that vow, it slowly imprints itself upon your heart, becoming the guiding seed that will lead you through countless lifetimes ahead.You may not be able to do it today, but one day, you surely will.For example, when you say, ‘I vow to love all sentient beings’ — can you truly love them all right now? Perhaps not at this very moment. But if you keep holding that vow every day, your love will gradually expand — loving one person, then two, and even those who once caused you pain.Through lifetime after lifetime, as you continue to make the same vow, the compassion within you will keep growing.And when your merit and blessings fully ripen, you will be able to love all beings without exception.So, great vows are not distant ideals; they are the direction your soul takes through countless lives.Even if you cannot fulfill them today, by sincerely making that vow, you have already planted a seed of awakening and boundless love within your heart.”#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/20/26 | LIVE FOR OTHERS, HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELF | LIVE FOR OTHERS, HAPPINESS FOR YOURSELFWhat are we born for? I once asked myself this question. The first answer that came to me was simple: we live to seek happiness.But then, another question followed: Should I seek happiness for myself, or for everyone?And in that moment, I realized — true happiness is found when we live to bring joy to others.For three years, I searched for the true meaning of happiness. I explored different paths, studied many fields, and tried to understand what makes life truly fulfilling.Until one day, I encountered the teachings of the Buddha. From them, I learned a simple yet profound truth:Human desire is bottomless.Even if we were given the entire Earth, we would still reach for the Moon.That’s why only when we cultivate virtue and inner peace can we find happiness that lasts — lasting because when we practice self-restraint and live for others, happiness naturally returns to us.That is the key.When we bring happiness to others, we too become happy.It’s as simple as that.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||

| 3/19/26 | THE OCEAN STARTS AS A DROP | THE OCEAN STARTS AS A DROP The ocean is vast. But it starts small, almost invisible. The ocean begins as a single drop. Not loud. Not impressive. Just small. Have you ever looked at the world and felt your heart sink? Pain is everywhere. Hunger. Loneliness. Quiet suffering hides behind doors. Somewhere inside, you want to help. Then you look at your empty hands. Doubts rush in. “I am too small.” “I don’t have enough.” You think, “Maybe later. When I am ready.” That thought feels safe. And slowly, you stop moving. Nothing big starts big. Rivers begin as drops. Oceans grow one moment at a time. If you wait to feel powerful before being kind, you may wait forever. Kindness is not stored. It is practiced. Like a muscle, it grows only when used. Small acts today build the strength for tomorrow. Start here. Not someday. Just here. Pick up one piece of trash. Hold the door for someone struggling. Pause to listen to a friend who feels unheard. Smile at someone who feels invisible. These actions look small. But they are training. When you care for small things, your heart learns how to care. No river reaches the sea in one day. It gathers strength, drop by drop. Sometimes, it begins with one small good thing. Not to be seen. Not to be praised. Simply begin. Over time, your drops will not stay alone. They move. They meet others. And one day, without noticing when it happened, you will realize— together, you are part of an ocean.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/18/26 | THE POWER OF SELFLESSNESS | THE POWER OF SELFLESSNESSCash in my pocket. A wooden table. For that empty corner at home.Nothing urgent. Nothing essential. Just something I wanted.On the way, I saw a face.Someone whose world was quietly falling apart.Medical bills. A sudden crisis. The kind of weight you can't carry alone.In that moment, the table didn't matter.I stopped. I handed over the money.And I walked home empty-handed.But here's what surprised me.I didn't feel empty. I felt stronger.Almost like... a happiness I couldn't explain.No fireworks. No rush.Just a quiet warmth that stayed.Through dinner. Through the night. Into the next few days.We know this feeling, don't we?That instinct to hold tight. Afraid that if we let go, something will disappear.Here's what I noticed.Every time I held tight to "mine,"my world shrank. My chest felt tighter. HEAVIER.But when I let go…something loosened.The heart found BREATHING ROOM.I began noticing it in smaller moments too.A pause. A choice.After a while, my mind felt steadier. FIRMER.Like a muscle quietly getting stronger.This isn't mysticism. It's not a reward system.It's just how the inside works.Care over convenience changes the space you live in.THE MORE ROOM YOU GIVE, THE MORE SPACE YOU FIND.Not later. Right now.In your chest. In your very next breath. #Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/18/26 | Never Leave Love Behind | Never Leave Love BehindI know someone who meditates every day. Hours in stillness. They sit quietly. Clear. Calm.Then they step outside. Someone says something. Not harsh. Just… slightly off.And they feel it. Tightness in the chest. Irritation rising. All that stillness — gone.We do this, don’t we? Chasing calm. Sitting very still. Thinking, now I’m peaceful.But real stillness doesn’t begin when eyes close. It begins much earlier. In how we live with people.If our days are sharp, impatient, or cold, no amount of sitting gives lasting calm.Without care for others, any peace we touch is fragile. Like an eggshell.It looks smooth. Feels quiet. You carry it carefully. But one careless word — it cracks.I’ve seen this in people I know. Days of retreat. Collecting stillness like treasure. Then one small comment — and calm disappears.That kind of stillness was never rooted in life.There is another kind of calm. It grows slowly. In ordinary days. In forgiving. In choosing not to harm. In helping, even when it costs something.When care becomes natural, the mind settles by itself. Not because we try to be calm, but because we no longer live only for ourselves.THE DEEPER THE CARE, THE STEADIER THE MIND.Not someday. Right now. In how we meet the person next to us.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Questionandanswers, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS, #DialogueBuddhismReligions | — | ||||||
| 3/12/26 | THE SPREADERS OF GOODNESS | THE SPREADERS OF GOODNESSI hit share.On a story about kindness. Didn't think much of it. Just... "Oh, this is nice."But here's what I didn't see.Someone I'll never meet read that story. And something loosened in them. Not a big shift. Just a small one.But it mattered.We know this feeling, don't we? That quiet urge to pass something good along.A neighbor heavy with frustration. You pause. You say something calm. Not profound. Just steady.And the air clears.I've seen this with a friend. She shares stories of people helping. Small acts. Nothing dramatic.But over months, her feed became this quiet stream of good. And people started noticing. Started sharing back. Started acting differently.Not because she preached. Because she just... kept passing it along.Or online—you see a small story of someone helping. Your thumb hovers. You share it.That counts.Being a spreader of goodness doesn't require grand actions.A soft word. A patient breath. A story passed along.These things ripple. Through days you'll never see. Through lives you'll never know.You don't see it happen. It's not flashy. No one congratulates you.But somewhere, someone reads what you shared. And they treat the next person a little softer. And that person does the same.That's how it spreads. Quietly. Through ordinary moments. Through people you'll never meet.Each small act plants something. And over time, quietly, those seeds grow into something we all share.THE SMALLER THE ACT, THE WIDER IT SPREADS.Not someday. Right now. In that next comment you write. In that moment you choose calm over sharp.That's not small. That's how the world changes.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Question #Answers, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, #PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS. | — | ||||||

| 3/7/26 | Silent Goodness | Silent GoodnessIn this life, let us quietly observe those around us and gently offer help without waiting to be asked. Whenever you see a chance to help someone, help them right away—don't wait for them to ask. Remember, this is the little secret we've shared today.Today, we're talking about one simple question: Where does good luck come from? After reflecting on all of this, we came to one conclusion: we should strive to live with integrity and always quietly observe those around us, ready to help whenever we can.

May all departed spirits be blessed with peace andwell-being, free from suffering, and diligent in cultivating the path.

| 3/5/26 | TALKING TO SOULS | TALKING TO SOULSDear souls all around, I am going to talk to you withmy love and compassion as follows.Death is not the end; reincarnation and rebirth arereal. Now you know that already. We all are bound bythe endless cycle of death and rebirth. We will continueto be reborn into new lives after we die, and this hasbeen repeated countless times without end.Another thing I’m not sure you have heard is thelaw of Cause and Effect or the Karma Law. Everythingruns based on the Karma Law, which is inevitable andnot dependent on anyone’s desire. The Karma Law isexplained that whatever we do to others will come backto us. The Karma Law is not just a Buddhist belief but alaw of nature that governs the entire universe.To be more specific, if we bring peace andhappiness to others, we will receive the same in return.Conversely, if we make others suffer, bad karma willinevitably cause us to suffer sooner or later. Morescarily, if we kill other beings, we will be rebornto be killed that way. In other words, our presentexperiences are determined by our past actions.Therefore, if we are experiencing suffering in thepresent, we should understand that they result fromour past actions towards others.So what happens when we do good deedsfor others? It becomes our blessing. Blessingsare intangible, but they lead us to have variousgood choices in our lives. When we are rich,beautiful, intelligent, talented, powerful andhave many advantages, it’s because we haveaccumulated blessings from our good deeds inthe past. In contrast, if we are poor, ugly, miserable,disadvantaged, etc., it’s because we lack blessings.However, our blessings are not limitless. If we livejust to enjoy worldly pleasures without doing moregood deeds, our blessings will gradually decrease.The more enjoyment we experience in human life,the faster our blessings lessen. Eventually, when ourblessings get drained, we have no chance of rebirthafter death and must live in the spiritual realm formany years, even hundreds of years.As a Buddhist, I follow Buddha’s teachings anddo not indulge in worldly pleasures. I pray to dedicatemy life to benefitting others and bringing happinessto those around me with love and compassion.I understand that you, my dear souls, are sufferingfrom hunger and coldness in the invisible realms.I pray to love and help you to the best of my ability,but ultimately, it is up to you to improve your futurelives and attain rebirth as humans.Please believe in the Karma Law, love all beings,and help humans be happy and safe. Please be niceto humans, don’t harm anyone, frighten anyone,or cause any trouble. Please let go of arrogance,jealousy, greed, and hatred. Please open your mindsto love and help other beings in your power. Pleasehelp people love one another and facilitate them todo good deeds. Please try to live a dignified life andavoid secular pleasures such as drinking and sexualdesire. Please acknowledge your past mistakes,genuinely repent and pledge not to repeat them.Please consider yourselves insignificant and treatothers with respect, especially Noble Saints. Pleasepay profound veneration to Lord Shakyamuni Buddhaand practice Buddha’s teachings, heading towardsnon - ego liberation.Next, I would like to talk about ShakyamuniBuddha - the most Supreme Enlightened One inthe universe, who is awakened from ignorance andpermanently get free from the cycle of impure lives.The Buddha is the only One who can find out the truthsof the universe...Namo Shakya Muni Buddha!#blessing, #plantingtrees, #Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Question #Answers, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery,#PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS. | — | ||||||
| 2/25/26 | HOW TO MAKE FAMILY LOVE LAST | HOW TO MAKE FAMILY LOVE LASTIf we only love each other, that love will never last. We must open our hearts to many people, only then will the love between us become truly sustainable. It's just like a husband and wife. The other day, I saw something on TikTok. A couple was walking together. The husband was holding his partner's hand, but then he let go to take his phone out and make a call.He kept talking while walking, and when he finished, he just held the phone instead of putting it back. The woman then asked: "Why are you holding the phone and not holding my hand?" She was demanding love in every little detail. Watching that, I realized: When people promise to love each other, they start watching each other. They look for signs of "not loving" just to criticize, to be jealous, and to blame one another. Isn't that right, Đạt Tiến Ngộ?"That's right." Is that true for everyone? Từ Ân? "It is very true." So that's how it is. At first, when they promise to love, or when they get married, they swear: "In this life, I only love you." And then, they start policing each other. "Did you promise?" "Is that true?" They watch, they stalk, and pick on every little thing until they can't stand it anymore. That is how love turns into resentment because they are too busy watching each other.But here, if two people truly love each other, and they also love the whole village, and care for all their relatives, surprisingly, that shared love for everyone will strengthen the bond between them. It makes their love much deeper. This is a secret that very few people know.#Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Question #Answers, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery,#PRACTICE, #GUIDE, #LAYPRACTITIONERS | — | ||||||
| 2/22/26 | QUESTION 01: WHY DO WE HAVE TO PRACTICE MEDITATION? | QUESTION 01: WHY DO WE HAVE TO PRACTICE MEDITATION?ANSWER: Human beings, driven by an innate intelligence, perpetually seek knowledge. At the heart of this quest lies the hope that through profound understanding, we may find happiness, morality, and the ultimate truth.There are two primary approaches to uncovering truth. The first approach leverages our brain's cognitive thinking: gathering information, analyzing data, presenting evidence, applying logic, and methodically proving concepts. Through generations of inquiry, this method has enabled humanity to uncover one truth after another. The second approach involves halting thoughts, cultivating intuition, and developing spiritual insight to directly perceive truths without the need for wordy reasoning or explanation.Modern science predominantly embraces the first approach, relying on intellectual analysis and empirical validation to explore the mysteries of the universe. This method has undoubtedly led to remarkable achievements, as evidenced by our technologically advanced civilization. However, as Sir Isaac Newton once observed, “What we know is a drop; what we don't know is an ocean”. This profound insight underscores the reality that our scientific knowledge, despite its depth, remains but a droplet compared to the vast ocean of the unknown.Furthermore, while the discovery of truth holds the promise of fostering morality and happiness, the truths revealed through scientific exploration have not yet succeeded in uplifting humanity to this ideal. Despite advancements, the world continues to grapple with war, conflict, poverty, deceit, and disease.The information we possess may still be flawed, our logic incomplete, and the truths we believe we understand may be only fragments of a larger reality. The civilization constructed upon the pillars of science and technology, though impressive, remains partial and insufficient. Humanity, therefore, stands in need of a complementary path - one rooted in spiritual intuition and capable of guiding us toward a civilization characterized by perfect wisdom and morality.By stilling the mind and ceasing intellectual deliberation, one can perceive truths directly and fully, free from distortion or ambiguity. The more serene the mind, the clearer the truths become. Enlightened Beings such as the Buddha, who achieved absolute mental stillness, were able to comprehend cosmic truths in their entirety.Truths realized beyond intellectual deliberation are not only fundamentally authentic but also naturally manifest in the form of morality and happiness, as those who attain the truths naturally embody these very virtues. Observing a person's conduct and inner peace can serve as a measure of their alignment with truth, as morality and happiness are not self-proclaimed or imagined, but they are the organic results of attaining truths.Despite the undeniable conveniences afforded by modern science and technology, they have also contributed to significant suffering, unrest, and moral decay. The persistence of wars, violence, inequality, and self-interest reveals that science and technology alone do not constitute the ultimate truth. If they did, they would have universally fostered morality and happiness.For instance, the concept of reincarnation (samsara) represents a truth that science has largely overlooked or dismissed. By refusing to explore this phenomenon, science has missed vital opportunities to advance human civilization and cultivate a deeper sense of morality for mankind. A clear and objective understanding of reincarnation could inspire individuals to lead more moral lives, knowing the continuity and consequences of their actions.#Blessing, #plantingtrees, #Religions, #Buddhism, #Meditation, #Question #Answers, #DialogueBuddhismReligions, #Religious, #Buddhist, #Truedharma, #Enlightement, #Buddhatemple, #TheLawofKarma, #BuddhismforBeginners, #Janna #Monastery, #JannaOrderMonastery, | — | ||||||
