BASIC BUDDHISM

IN BUDDHISM, THERE ARE FEW THINGS THAT WE NEED TO PAY ATTENTION SUCH AS 'THE FOUR NOBLE TRUTH', AND 'THE NOBLE EIGHTFOLD PATH'. BUDDHISM IS VERY SIMPLE RELIGION YET NOT EASY FOR EVERYONE TO ACCEPT. ACCORDING TO A BOOK I HAVE READ,

"NOT TO REVILE, NOT TO DO HARM, TO PRACTICE RESTRAINT ACCORDING TO THE FUNDAMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS FOR BHIKKHUS, TO BE MODERATE IN TAKING FOOD, TO DWELL IN A SECLUDED PLACE, TO DEVOTE ONESELF TO HIGHER CONCENTRATION-THIS IS THE TEACHING OF THE BUDDHAS".

ISN'T IT SIMPLE?

NEED TO BE KNOW ABOUT BUDDHISM

THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS THAT NEED TO BE KNOW AS BUDDHIST:-

• DO GOOD ALWAYS
• AVOID EVILNESS ALWAYS
• HAVE STRONG FAITH IN KARMA
• HAVE ADEQUATE FAITH IN BUDDHA, DHARMA, AND SANGGHA
• TAKE REFUGE IN TRIPLE JEWELS
• KNOW BASIC BUDDHISM

SIMPLE INTRODUCTION

I SET THIS PAGE WITH INTENTION TO SHARE UP SOME PERSONAL EXPERIENCES AND WHAT I HAVE READ BEFORE. SOME MIGHT ACCEPT WITH OPEN HEART AND SOME MIGHT NOT. DON'T FEEL THAT WHAT I SAY HERE IS AN ORDER BUT TREAT IT JUST LIKE SIMPLE ADVICE. ITS UP TO ANY PERSON WHO WANT TO FOLLOW.

THIS IS HOW IT START. I WAS NOT A BUDDHIST FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN I WAS A CHILD, I ALWAYS WONDER WHY THIS HAPPEN AND WHY THAT HAPPEN. WHY BAD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME AND WHY GOOD THINGS HAPPEN TO ME. I WONDER WHY OTHERS ARE BETTER THAN ME AND MORE FORTUNATE THAN ME. WHY THERE IS SOMEONE THAT IS LESS FORTUNATE THAN ME? WHAT IS THE REASON BEHIND ALL THIS? I START TO KNOW BUDDHISM AROUND AGE 16.AT THAT TIME, I BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS BEHIND ALL THIS. MOST MY QUESTION ARE ANSWERED. WHEN I SAY THAT, MY FRIEND WILL ASK ME, WHAT HAVE YOU UNDERSTAND? MY ANSWER IS, IT CAN'T BE EXPLAIN. MY EXPLANATION IS USELESS BECAUSE I NOW THEY WON'T ACCEPT WHAT I SAY.

THEN I BEGIN TO READ MORE ON BUDDHISM, WITHOUT I REALIZE, I THINK I ALREADY FALL IN LOVE WITH BUDDHISM. MORE AND MORE QUESTION POP UP WAIT TO BE ANSWER. DUE TO CERTAIN DIFFICULTIES/HINDRANCES, I CAN ONLY KNOW BUDDHISM FROM THE BOOKS I HAVE READ. ONE DAY, SUDDENLY WITHOUT I REALIZE, I MANAGE TO ADVICE ONE OF MY FRIEND WHICH IS FACING A PROBLEM THAT BOTHER HIM FOR QUITE A LONG TIME. FROM THERE I START TO GIVE ADVICE AMONG MY FRIEND WHO NEED IT. NOT ALL SUCCEED. I DID FACE SOME FAILURE IN ADVISING OTHERS. 'WHY PEOPLE KEEP REPEATING THE SAME MISTAKE BY DOING INAPPROPRIATE THINGS/EVIL DEED?' THIS IS BECAUSE THOSE WHO COMMIT EVIL DEED THINK THAT WHAT ARE THEY DOING IS ACTUALLY CORRECT. I CAN SAY THAT I ACTUALLY FOUND BUDDHISM IS A GREAT RELIGION FOR ME TO OVERCOME MY WEAKNESSES. "EHI PASSIKO-DON'T JUST BELIEVE, COME AND SEE", "SABBADANAM DHAMMADANAM JINATI-THE GIFT OF TRUTH(DHAMMA) EXCELS ALL OTHER GIFT", ARE SOME OF BUDDHIST QUOTE THAT I LIKE TO KEEP IN MY HEART.( TO BE CONTINUE......)
