BUDDHISM TRUE DHARMA9 Des 2025

The Diamond Sūtra begins with a single question — quiet, but LIFE-CHANGING

The Diamond Sūtra begins with a single question — quiet, but LIFE-CHANGING:

“How do we reach true liberation?”

Venerable Subhūti asks.

The Buddha answers.

And the answer

is not what we expect:

To find our own LIBERATION,

we must first devote ourselves

to the LIBERATION OF OTHERS.

It sounds impossible.

How can someone who is still searching…

help anyone else?

But the teaching is clear:

Make the GREAT VOW.

A vow to help ALL beings.

A vow WITHOUT measure.

A vow you never put down —

NOT EVEN FOR A MOMENT.

This vow becomes

the SEED of awakening.

It fuels the path.

It loosens the grip of

“me” and “mine.”

And as the ego softens…

the way forward appears.

So we live

with one quiet intention:

May I be of REAL BENEFIT

to whoever I meet.

And one wide, steady prayer:

May WISDOM reach

every corner of the world.

We look for small chances

to encourage.

Chances to listen deeply.

Chances to CONNECT —

through kindness, generosity,

and understanding.

Because the Buddha said:

“The ocean has ONE taste —

the taste of salt.

The Dharma has ONE taste —

the taste of liberation.”

Forget the vow…

and the heart goes DIM.

Lose the vow…

and you LOSE the way.

That is why we bow.

Why we renew our vow

EACH DAY.

Why we ask for clarity

and strength.

Why we ask for the COURAGE

to share the Dharma

wherever we go.

And we pray

we never forget —

not even for a single breath.

Because the moment

we stop living

for others’ awakening…

is the moment

we LOSE OUR OWN.
