Refelection On Dhamma
Yuhan
When
i think of my learning the Dhamma thus far, I must say it has not been
an unsmooth one. First I attended an excellent retreat and met good
teachers, then I found a Buddhist society centre where I could give to
and learn from, then like-minded friends in the Dhamma surrounded me and
gave me guidance and companionship. Many people say that I am lucky to
have come in touch with the Dhamma at a young age, and I couldn’t agree
more (though this is of course more than a case of pure luck). I am
grateful to have the chance to know the Dhamma, and even such words seem
to be an understatement. Without knowing the Dhamma I wouldn’t have
known how to live my life. My parents gave me life; the Triple Gems
taught me how to live it. Before such spirited words lead the reader to
think that I am some goodie-two-shoes, I must admit that I’m still far
from purification. But I’m at it. Slowly but surely, may I taste the
kind of happiness independent of external conditions, and may all
beings, and those whom I am indebted to, attain such happiness too.
