The Merits of Sincere Offerings to the Buddha (Part 1 of 2) July 28, 2015

I told you yesterday about one story that I didn’t like because the Buddha allowed the monks at that time to eat meat as long as they don’t see the animals being killed, as long as they don’t hear the animals crying while they’re being killed, as long as they know that it’s not killed for them. What I mean is, monks should have compassion, should make a good example of love, kindness, compassion.

I don’t encourage renunciation or going to the forest and all that. It’s just that it really helps. Because I know it’s difficult for you, all of you to do this kind of thing. I cannot keep encouraging the things that are impossible for you to do, almost impossible all the time. So, you just do your best. But the Master power will always help. It’s the sincerity also that’s important. In this worl

You have to always consider other people. Not because you sit on a nice place and then you don’t want to move, no matter who dies. That’s not nice. Capiche? (Yes.) I don’t like that.

Doesn’t mean (that) courage means you will fear nothing. It’s not like that. You’re born with a human mind. Human physical. You do things sometimes you know it’s impossible. It’s not, almost impossible or it’s difficult, but you try. For the sake of others, you try. So, if it’s not fearful, then it’s just your hobby, it’s different. You want to do something, you like it so much and you do it. It’s
