21.01.2022 This week, Rev Heng Sure podcast focus topic on Diet (Meditation Handbook pg 40-41), introducing the harmless diet / plant-based diet. http://www.gcdr.org.au/-s...unday-guided-meditation-class.html Meditation quite naturally fosters compassion because it dissolves the artificial boundaries between self and others , the human world and the natural world. Others’ well-being becomes the same as our own well-being; others’ suffering becomes our own sufferings. Thus, as our compassion opens, we discover how mediation seamlessly carries over into all aspects of one’s life. A positive first step in this direction is to change to a plant-based diet. Sharing in this podcast include: Stories on Engine 2 Diet. The Engine 2 Diet, which was created by firefighter, former professional athlete and medical scion Rip Esselstyn, is a low-fat, plant strong plan that aims to prevent or even reverse diseases that are linked to the Standard American Diet: heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s and cancer. Myth of the meat protein. The China study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health is a book by T. Colin Campbell and his son, Thomas M. Campbell II. No osteoporosis in China in the early days. A Californian Buddhist changing diet story from 3 steps one bow pilgrimage journey.

12.01.2022 Dear Dharma Friends, Sorry for the delay. Rev Heng Sure Meditation podcast for last Sunday is now available on http://www.gcdr.org.au/-sunday-guided-meditation...-class.html (pg 26-27 of The Meditation Handbook) Last week, we look into the chapter of Investigating a Meditation Topic ( Huatou) . This method consists of looking into a specific enigmatic question, bringing it up for examination relentlessly until the mind, absorbed in the investigation, suddenly breaks through the limitations of language and ordinary thought. Rev Heng Sure shared few stories with us to bring forth the principles in practicing Investigating the meditation topic. We also look into the question of: How do you keep focus in meditation when there is distraction? In conjunction of Buddha Birthday week, we can sing together the Praise The Buddha Praise The Buddha (To the tune of Amazing Grace Lyrics by Rev. Heng Sure) Upon the earth, below the sky, The Buddha has no peer, In ten directions everywhere, He is beyond compare. He’s gone beyond duality He’s never born again, With wisdom bright he blesses me, He knows my joy and pain. He walked the Noble Middle Way With strength and purity In dark of night and light of day His kindness touches me. He’s not divine, but he’s awake, He’s neither come nor gone, I find him in each blade of grass, He is the wisdom sun. I’ve searched around this whole wide world, And now I can declare, You’ll never find a wiser one Than Buddha anywhere. Thanks and keep safe everyone! Amitabha!

10.01.2022 Dear Dharma Friends,

09.01.2022 The mysterious Udumbara Flower has appeared on a gum tree in the vegetable garden at the Gold Coast Dharma Realm Monastery here in Bonogin, Queensland. Tiny, in...tensely fragrant, legendary, it is said to appear most rarely, only before a Sage is about to arrive. Scientists and botanists are skeptical, but then again, who couldn't use some optimism and wonder in his/her life these days? See more
