-
- Buddhism
In this episode, the Venerable addressed the following questions from the audience,
Most of the time, most of us are either thinking about the past, planning, or worrying about the future. What can one do to eliminate these bad habits? It is sometimes a challenge to stay in the present after a long day at work or at school.
Is "True-self" an observer of the truths? Who is the thinker behind the thoughts then?
It was mentioned in one of the lectures that the universe will eventually come to an end by contraction - what does it mean?
If one would like to help with future expansion projects of the temple, but cannot help financially, is there anything one can do?
When we are at vegetarian restaurants, many of them serve chicken soup, fish soup, steaks, etc., is it okay if we eat them?
