Buddha Dharma (སངས་རྒྱས་སྟན་པ་) is the third most influential faith in this world. Many westerners get confused with all the different forms of monks and their appearance. They think Buddhism is a very confusing religion and very diverse. Yes, is it very varied and complicated? Idon’ttdon’tt has well learned, or someone who is intellectually Buddhist?
The question which initial the Buddhism
Meaning of Dharma with the quest, the most crucial question is, is everyone happy? Every single wanting to be satisfied. Our every act is to achieve happiness, from an elephant looking for the tree’s shadow on sunny days to a bit of mouse making holes everywhere to create its home space. If you consciously look at everything, it is either suffering or the source of it. Happiness, as we feel itself is a source of suffering. So the satisfaction we think we are getting from this world itself is a source of great suffering. But the very nature of longing to be happy is called Buddha Nature. A basic instinct drives the desire to reach enlightenment, the purest happiness, Sachi Ananda.
The source of all the suffering
There is a source of everything that happens, As every action has consequences. The most significant cause of all the suffering is the I (the idea of being yourself as an absolute being). The initiation of the quest in search of happiness is self-begun with the Big I. Everyone thinks they are absolute beings and there are permanent. When we accumulate wealth or work to gain some wealth, we operate as if we are to live forever. That is why we cheat, hurt and kill beings for a living.
The antidote, remove I
The remedy is to remove I and accept the interdependence nature of reality. Everyone is all depending on each other. No one is absolute—everybody needsother’ssservicother’sproductss for our survival. We can’t make Alcan tt things we consume in our daily life. So we live in this interconnected web of dependency. The Kings and Lords are dependent on the food and products produced by the farmer and other poor producers, and the poor fellow depends on their warmth and kindness. So if you want to be happy, remove I (the ego), then there will be peace in the heart.
The act of compassion
Now we understand, we are all living in this interconnected world. Your little action could bring either sorrow or happiness to some other beings. Once, when we indulge in not harming deeds and being compassionate to others. With u
nderstanding their suffering with your sufferings. Take an example of a family; there is a father who thinks of himself as the absolute authority of the family and does whatever he please. Due to his drinking habit, the effect would bring financial issues to the family, which leads to the children dropping off from school.
The father has to be compassionate towards the child by putting his feet in thechild’ssschild’ss he has been a child. If the child goes to school regularly and becomes a good and capable person, it will also bring immense pleasure to the father. If the father does all those things which would affect thechild’ssfchild’sThee child would be a horrible person, and he will follow the footstep of the father into becoming a person just like him. Which will bring him trouble in the end? For understanding the situation people may be or will be facing, we have to be compassionate to everyone.
The ultimate destination
The ultimate destination is to achieve real happiness. To gain enlightenment, the everlasting bliss of joy. The attainment of liberation from the chain of attachment that bonded us to this Samsara, which is full of suffering. Buddha hood is the stage where one has to awaken from the ignorance of being absolute self and accumulate the immeasurable wisdom of interdependence. Tibetan called it the stage of San-gyal.
The path and Vehicle of Buddha Dharma
The teaching of Buddha is the path to the destination that is to achieve enlightenment. There are two vehicles for the journey one is the shortcut to Mahayana and the longer path, the Theravada Buddhism.
The fundamental core of all the teachings of Buddha is. Never do any harm and do lots of good works.
