Many of us want to do our bit and make a better world. But how? Start with correcting ourselves. But how can we tell right from wrong?  Here's a useful checklist. Once we know what is right and what is wrong, the next step is to correct our bad habits and promote the good ones. Buddhism is about practising. If we don't practise Sakyamuni Buddha's teachings, we miss the point of learning / studying Buddhism. Happy listening! Happy practising!

Hello. This is A Buddhist Practitioner’s Podcasts. In the previous programme we learned that respecting and loving our parents is the roots of all virtues and the foundation of Confucian and Buddhist teachings. But then, how do we respect and love our parents? Children of different cultures have different ways of expressing respect and love to their parents. In this programme we’ll learn how children in traditional China showed respect and love to their parents as well as others. What you’re going to hear is a translation of a Chinese textbook for young children written over 300 years ago. The title of the book is ‘Guidelines for Being a Good Person弟子規’. What’s detailed in the book is still relevant to us today. And before learning to become a Buddha, we must learn to be a good human being first.

8 Buddhism What is true love?

All thoughts are illusory. Mind is the original self of all things in the universe. In the Buddhist Sutra 法句經 The Dhamapada Sutra, it says, ‘Mind is the origin of all things. Mind is their chief; they are all mind-made 心為法本，心尊心使.’ So without mind, all things disappear. The mind is the original self of all things. There is only one True mind, but not two.  In the Buddhist sutra The Avatamsaka Sutra 華嚴經, it says, ‘All Buddhas share one Dharma body一切诸佛身，唯是一法身.’ The Dharma body is the self-nature. The dharma body is the True Mind. The mind that all Buddhas talk about is this one mind. Sakyamuni Buddha likened the True Mind to the ocean. The minds of all beings (including our own) are like bubbles in the ocean. The ocean is one, but there are infinite bubbles in the ocean.
