The dharma teachings taught by Venerable Chodron ended last Friday. Her teachings have benefited me tremendously. Especially the topic on connecting with Buddha Amitabha. She affirmed my realizations. There was not one day that I went home without feeling joyful after attending her talk. There may be many dharma centre in Singapore, however, a good and wise teacher who is able to explain the dharma clearly and profoundly is hard to come by.
I have learnt how to transform our action to a virtuous one so that we can benefit others. To also recite sutra or chant a mantra to enable animals, especially my cats, positive karma to ripen when they are dying or after they die. The sutra and mantra can also leave imprint in their mind. The most important thing that I have never thought to benefit myself is to connect with Buddha Amitabha. This is to prepare myself to the pureland. We don’t just chant his name. We have to concentrate single pointedly when chanting his name and of course, keeping the precepts and practising the ten perfection and dharma is a must.
There were many times I wanted to drop her a note telling her how much I have benefited from her teachings but I didn’t do it…
I hope she will take care of her health so that she can come to Singapore next year again and year after another to give teachings and to benefit all of us. And I also hope to receive her teachings life after life in Samsara.
Meantime, I would read up the books that were written by her and start to practise to connect with Buddha Amitabha through meditation!:) I don’t believe in practising when I am dying…
Cats who teach me to fly...
