Dharma Philosophy

  • While we find the way to be free from suffering thus recommend others to be free from suffering as well. Our action in helping others will benefit us to meet good things in our lives.
  • Don’t be afraid of any ghosts because the worst ghosts still scare our mind at all time.
  • Be intended to make good merit from your heart. Don’t do good merit to show off others or desire for prestige.
  • Please believe in doing good deeds because goodness will support or make our lives all the best. Likewise Dharma protects those who practice Dharma.
  • The doctrines of the Lord of Buddha can be provable because his doctrines actually happened in the real world such as the Four Noble Truths of Sufferings, Buddhists proverbs etc. Furthermore, his doctrines will help his disciples or people to be free from suffering, feel happy like never before, peace in mind and be able to adapt these doctrines into their daily lives as well.
  • The one who will successfully help others to be free from suffering must have equanimity, wait for the right time to help the afflicted person and use his or her own intelligence to analyze the problem. Also he or she must realize that the animal world is according to Karma.
  • Dharma practitioner must look at his or herself only, always keep peace of mind, don’t look for trouble because any trouble will cause his or her Dharma practice does not much progress and will not benefit for every Dharma practitioner.
