The scriptures of the sutras and tantras and the words of the
learned and accomplished ones of India and Tibet
All have great blessings but are difficult for ordinary people to
grasp.
Though they are indispensable for teaching in a monastic...
college,
For one-pointed practice they are of little use.
This ' pointing-out instruction for an old lady' is more
beneficial for your mind than all of the others..
For a householder with a family and without time to devote his entire life to these studies, a vast theoretical understanding is not important. On the contrary, experience through practice is more beneficial. In such a case, it is unimportant to go through this vastly detailed learning, but rather it is more crucial to condense all the teachings into a very short and precise one.
Therefore, the ' pointing-out instruction for an old lady' means that all the teachings have been condensed into just a few essential lines of text which contain the vital point, the key point regarding the nature of the mind. If we can take such an instruction to heart, it is more beneficial for our mind than all the scriptures. - Buddha
A strong personal vow to help others to be enlightened and leave this ocean of suffering should be the first motivation in practising of dharma and to develop compassion and wisdom
Learn how to love oneself truthly is a skillful means when you apply it to love others wholly.
To understand where the true love comes from is a way and to deliver it to others is a means.
And this kind of love is known as unconditional love, like the love showers to us as their children, by the buddhas and bodhisattvas
Buddhism is still alive to match with the fast pace changing society and the global world because it has a scientific and logical approach to cater for all walk of life right up to the invisible beings with strong belief in promoting loving-kindness and compassion.
