Last meditation session topic;

Once the topic of nonduality arises, it is best not merely to discuss it, but to see how it can be practiced in our daily life.

Another expression of nonduality is wuwei, or effortless effort. It does not mean doing nothing. Rather, it means acting with complete relaxation, clarity, and grace.

When you observe a true master of any craft, you rarely see them struggling or rushing. They take their time. Their movements are deliberate, yet effortless; precise, yet relaxed. Even when the work is difficult, there is no unnecessary tension.

This is the beauty of effortless action: nothing is forced, yet everything is done completely.

In the practice of nonduality, perhaps this is what we are learning—not to add more effort, but to remove the unnecessary struggle between ourselves and the action.

See you tonight.

Last meditation session topic;

When we discuss non-duality, we are not here merely for intellectual discussion. We need to practice it in our daily lives.

One practical application of non-duality is what may be called advaya kriya—non-dual action. It is the clarity of mind that allows us to act from a single, unified intention, without being divided by conflicting thoughts and choices.

Many people fail to produce good results not because they lack choices, but because they have too many. The mind can give its fullest attention to only one thought or intention at a time. When we continually move between different possibilities, the mind becomes scattered, uncertain about which direction to take.

Non-dual action is therefore not about having no choices. It is about seeing clearly, choosing consciously, and then acting wholeheartedly—without dividing the mind.

When thought, intention, and action become one, the mind is no longer scattered. The energy that was divided among many possibilities becomes concentrated, allowing one intention to come into full bloom.

Last meditation session topic;

Mañjuśrī turns to Vimalakīrti:

“Now, please speak. What is a bodhisattva’s entering the Dharma-gate of Nonduality?”

Vimalakīrti remains completely silent.

Mañjuśrī praises him:

“Excellent, excellent! To reach the point where there is not even a word or letter—that is true entry into the Dharma-gate of Nonduality.”

Many times, I observe that entering the gate of Nonduality simply means remaining silent.

Not because there is nothing to say, but because there is nothing that needs to be said.

Is Success Important in Buddhist Practice?

You may be surprised to know that, in Buddhist practice, we do concern ourselves with this seemingly trivial matter. After all, without success, how can we say that our work has been done well?

However, in Buddhism, the quality of success matters more than success itself. What truly matters is the kind of desire that motivates us and the intention behind our actions. These are what ultimately determine whether our success is genuinely satisfying and meaningful.

The distinction between Chanda (wholesome or noble desire) and Taṇhā (craving or selfish desire) can make a profound difference—not only in the results we achieve, but also in the quality of our lives.

Success, therefore, is not simply about achieving what we want. It is also about what we want, why we want it, and what kind of person we become in the process.

Last week meditation session;

Sometimes, patience alone is not enough. What we need is strategic patience.

The Buddha called this Kṣānti—a virtue that encompasses three qualities: endurance, forbearance, and acceptance.

Because in real life, these virtues will be tested—again and again.

True patience is not simply waiting. It is the wisdom to endure what cannot be changed, the restraint to respond without being consumed by anger, and the acceptance to meet reality as it is.

And sometimes, knowing when to wait, when to act, and when to let go is the true practice of patience.

See you tomorrow meditation session.

Buddha said: A wicked man who abuses the good one, is like one looking upwards and spitting against heaven; his spittle does not soil the heavens, but returns on himself. Or, when the wind is contrary, like one who aims dust at another, the dust does but return against him who threw it. You cannot injure the good man, the misery will devolve on yourself.

Sutra of 42 Chapters.

Last meditation session topic;

As practitioners, we know that our quality of life depends on the conditions before us. These conditions are tightly linked to our habits. So, what should we do once we establish good habits?

According to the Buddha, the next step is to balance them. This is beautifully represented by the Ensō (the Zen circle). To draw a perfect circle, every part must be considered and balanced.

For example, if we develop the good habit of making money, we must balance it by contributing to charity. Similarly, when we exercise, good rest and sleep are equally important. Finally, studying the Dharma must be paired with meditation. In this manner, life becomes balanced, and we feel truly fulfilled.

Good day Fellow Practitioners!

This is to inform you that there will be no meditation session tomorrow due to other important events.

In line with this, I invite everyone to drop by the temple and offer incense to our deceased love ones whom help us made who we are today.
