Dhamma Sharing Class 2005/06

4. Sigalovada Sutta

The first Sutta for this year “Sigalovada Sutta” by Bro Benny Liow, the editor of Eastern Horizon.

We start by introducing everyone. Then we learn metta meditation by Sis BMF. First she brieflyinform what is metta and how Buddha introducing metta to the monks during vassa (rain retreat) and were disturbed by the spirits around them.

Bro Benny came and his first response

#cultivating metta is NOT only when you are meditating but throughout your daily life too#

As usual, Puja and introduction session Protocol lah

Sigalovada sutta….

During the sharing, Bro Benny mentioned

#If there is a problem, why worry?
If there is no a problem, why worry#

The message: Sigalovada Sutta was mean for Sigala but still can be practical for us today.

The verdict: As a layperson, we too have the opportunity to understand the Buddha, the Dhamma, and the Sangha very…well. Keep striving!!!
