Jakarta Temple Honors the Old Ways of Buddhist Monks
Everyone’s goal of life can be classified into 3 levels : 1. Primary goal of life
The primary goal of life is aimed to manage an utilization of life for only this life. The goals of this level are for example:
Making the Five Precepts Easy for Children to Understand
Once, I had the chance to observe a senior monk simplify the Five Precepts for the children.
The Executioner Behead a Prisoner
Before the execution, the primary swordsman drank a large amount of alcohol to calm himself. Just when he was about to make the killing blow, his energy level dropped greatly until he was unable to sever the prisoner’s neck immediately. The primary swordsman lost his footing because he struck his blow at the wrong moment. So he ended up obstructing the path of the second swordsman who was raising his sword to administer a follow-up blow.
Transforming the Paddy Field into a Sacred Land
In his new life as a monk, Luang Phaw Dhammajayo was very disciplined in the monastic codes of conduct and studied in the Lord Buddha’s Teachings.
Daily activities and the mind should go together
In order to achieve the benefits of meditation, you must practise meditation on a daily basis. You cannot miss even for a day.
