Cultivating Your Wisdom and Happiness Ep.3 - What is the method of ultimate cultivation? Plus...How do we apply Law of Causality?

Part One - Cultivating Your Wisdom and Happiness (Cont'd II) What is the method of ultimate cultivation? How can a Buddhist practise such that he fulfils supporting and protecting the Dharma as well as cultivating himself? We often hear people say, “If we do not commit bad deeds but instead often help others, then what need is there to learn Buddhism?” How should we elucidate such a perception? What are merits and blessings? Is being a vegetarian considered meritorious? How does one practise in accord with the Dharma? How should we overcome the many thoughts that arise in our mind? Is the cause of all these thoughts the karma that we take with us through lifetime after lifetime? Why learn and practise Buddhism? The basic requirement of practising Buddhism is to have a mind of equality, great loving kindness and compassion. However, I feel that I am still unable to treat all sentient beings the way Buddhas, Bodhisattvas and my teacher do - with such great equality, loving kindness and compassion. Hence I am deeply remorseful. Please enlighten me. ‘All things arise by the aggregation of causes and conditions; all things cease by the dispersion of causes and conditions.’ How do we apply this Law of Causality? This book, Awakening the Sleeping Mind, contains extracts of Venerable Master Shen-Kai’s answers to questions that people raised during his talks in various countries around the world.
