How to practice Buddhism explained by a Buddhist teacherA brief article on how to use Buddhist texts to make progress in your practice. a simple sing-along or chant that can be used as a teaching tool or a reminder practice. I was asked by a student to write a short mantra that she could remember to use with her children (and herself) as she saw fit, so I took a ubiquitous and popular children's song and I tweaked and reinterpreted it with deeper Buddhist meanings. Forgiveness is really not about someone else’s harmful behavior; it’s about our relationship with our own past. When we begin to work on forgiveness, it's firstly a self-care practice for ourselves. Forgiveness and patience are critical to being able to cultivate your ability to develop inner peace-of-mind and happiness. |
The Teacher"The only thing that prevents people from awakening, stream entry, and directly experiencing the stages of enlightenment is incorrect instruction and/or insufficient practice."
