My Experience from Respectfully Listening to the Recorded Dharma Discourses Expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III
I
feel very fortunate and lucky that I can have the opportunity to listen
respectfully to the recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III.
The recorded dharma discourses expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III that I listened to include What is Cultivation?, Impermanence,
and others. Every time after respectfully listening to a recorded
dharma discourse, I felt like being a fully charged computer. The dharma
discourse alerted me to wake up from complex and chaotic worldly
matters, reminding me that I must cultivate to become liberated from
samsara and benefit others using the benefits I received.
In particular, the dharma discourse expounded by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III entitled A Deviated Mind Attached to Phenomena is Mara; Differentiation under Any Circumstances Diverges from the State of Meditation benefited
me especially very much. After respectfully listening to this dharma
discourse, I began to learn how to put down attachment to self and how
to prevent myself from being pulled by external states. However, in this
process of learning, I am still often attached to various matters due
to my habitual nature of an ordinary being. Only until after the
incident, was I able to introspect to realize that I should hold up the
correct thought, cultivate myself well, and put down attachment to self.
Then I again began to make the effort to act according to the teaching.
I have been back and forth in this process. I make mistakes often, but I also repeatedly remind myself after the incident.
Under
a karmic condition, misunderstanding was produced between me and
several friends of mine due to our different opinions in the process of
working together. One of them attacked and criticized me in many ways.
Had the situation occurred before I started to learn Buddhism and
cultivate myself, I would have rebutted and scolded loudly in return
long ago. Then the result would definitely be like a struggle of life
and death. However, I was very calm at that time. I knew that if I was
attached to it, afflictions would arise in me. I thought, “I should put
it down. There is no need to explain. After a while, this
misunderstanding will be untied and solved.” In the end, the
misunderstanding did become resolved due to the rising of another karmic
condition. As an after-thought, I feel this really is a beneficial
effect from listening to the dharma, so that I was able to hold up my
correct thinking in this unfavorable situation and continue to learn and
act according to the teaching!
Therefore, I am very grateful to the opportunity of encountering the true dharma of the Tathagata from H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III!
I am grateful to all Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in the ten directions!
