Dhamma Sharing/Talk

July 28 and August 19, 2013
Dhamma Sharing with Brother Ngeow

WHY AM I A BUDDHIST??

As  usual  the weekly Dhamma sharing is as scheduled. It was actually a sequel to the last Dhamma Sharing by Brother Ngeow, on August 28. I must admit that I have slacked and did not update any post on this. For the main reason I was completely saddened by the fact that my SD card was corrupted and i was not able to update any photos. :((
Well to refresh, the last sharing was all about  "Why am I Buddhist?"


The speaker was rather serious when he kickstarted this. It required lots of reflection and comtemplation to be able to come to an answer..on the many WHYs. On that particular session, he shared with us his quest and seeking for the truth until  he comes to an agreeement with himself ... that is BUDDHISM.
For  seeking externally, it is more of experiential  and with a little wisdom one will be able to see and feel the beauty of this TRUTH. (Ehipassiko)
 So much about last sharing.

 Today, Brother Ngeow shared on inward seeking.This is rather important. 
When one is able to understand the mind and  most of all the Dhamma, all the WHYs will be answered.So now, it is all about practice. Practice,  practice and more practice.. so that we will be able to achieve peace and happiness ( our ultimate objective in this  mundane world). In practising we must overcome sloth and torpor. Motivation must be intrinsic. 
In his sharing, he thinks one should hold on to the belief that our future must be better than the present. For that to happen the present moment is most crucial. So reflect, reflect ...on our action ... here and now...

 Loss and gain, obscurity and fame,
Praise and blame, happiness and pain,
These things are transcient in the life of man,
Inconstant and are bound to change


..... hopefully with little dust in our eyes..... we will be able to see the Dhamma 

May All Be Well and Happy Always.
