As soon as his motorcade arrived at Convention Center, His Holiness was received by Mr. Gilberto Kassab, Mayor of Sao Paulo City, Dom Odilo Scherer, Archbishop of Sao Paulo, Mr. João Grandino Rodas, Dean of Sao Paulo University, and Chief of Security. After having a brief private meeting with them, His Holiness was usheredon to the stage, where Mayor Gilberto Kassab welcomed and introduced His Holiness to the public.

After the introduction, His Holiness began his public talk on ‘Harmony Through Universal Responsibility’.

His Holiness told the crowd that the concept of war and use of force is out dated. He said in the past nations remained isolated from each others and therefore there was defeat for your neighbor and victory for you. But today, he said, we live in a much interconnected world, therefore, the destruction of your neighbor is destruction of yourself. In order to make life in 21st century more peaceful, harmonious and stable, he said, we must learn to resolve all differences and problems through dialogue and for that young people, who are very much part of the 21st century, should pay more attention to inner values or secular ethics and learn to respect others even if there are serious differencesover belief systems and ideology. After he finished his talk, His Holiness also attended to many questions from the public.

His Holiness’ talk was also attended by many disabled people on wheel chairs as well as others who have hearing and speech problems.

In the afternoon, His Holiness gave a teaching primarily focused on cultivating constructive and positive emotions at the Golden Hall of the World Trade Center. He suggested to the audience to pay more attention to study rather than merely caught up in the ritual. He said that knowledge and practice must go hand-in-hand.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s last event in Sao Paulo was attended by around 5,000 people. Many could not get a seat as the seating capacity of the Golden Hall in the World Trade Center where the teaching was heldhas only 4,000 sitting capacity and therefore chose to seat on the floor without chair or cushion.

At the end of event, Prof. Lia Diskin, co-founder of Palas Athena Association and host of His Holiness the Dalai Lama’s visit to Brazil, thanked His Holiness on behalf of the Brazilian people for his kind visit and sharing his wisdom. Prof. Lia Diskin requested His Holiness to return to Brazil next year and while she narrated these words, the crowd gave a standing ovation and many could be seen crying with excitement.

His Holiness the Dalai Lama left for Frankfurt as soon as he finished the last event in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

The Book was first published in 1942. The present edition has been revised and expanded. Though primarily intended for the students and beginners rather than scholars, the reader will find it an extremely valuable handbook, offering a sound foundation to the basic tenets of Buddhism as found in its original Pali tradition.

I consider myself to be one of the extremely lucky ones to study the Dharma at the Phap Bao temple every Sunday with awise, caring and compassionate teacher like Ven. Bhikkuni Giac Anh. The classes are like an endless supply of cool and pure water from a gentle stream that my Dharma friends and I can always drink from to quench our thirst and purify our body and mind.Over the years, I have seen incremental improvements in myselfsuch as being calmer, learning and practicing the Dharma better and applying the practical advice from my Teacher to better deal with everyday challenges.

The Gift of Well Being, Joy, Sorrow and Renunciation on the Buddha’s Way by Ajahn Munindo, Among the many books about Buddhism that have recently been brought to my attention this one is unique. It is not a text; it neither exhorts, compares nor expounds. Quite simply, it opens a way through the landscape of life, ageing and death. Reading, one joins the author of the Way. It is vivid; it is honest; it is profound. All, all flows naturally, revealing a terrain of trust.

Freedom, democracy and human rights together with commerce and investments in the economy, to bring about social order and stability, not unlike light and the atmosphere, are essential requirements for human life in the expanse of a world in full progress. Hong Kong is a former British colony returned to China in 1997 and its people are guaranteed basic freedoms under the “One Country, Two Systems” regime, in order to administer the proper maintenance and development of this territory.

‘Dukkha and The Cessation of Dukkha’ are the heart of the Buddha’s teaching which are expounded in the Dhammacakka-ppavattana-suttaṃ(Setting in Motion the Wheel of Truth).[2] ‘Idaṁ dukkhaṁ ariyasaccaṁ’ pariññeyyan-ti ‘this is the noble truth of suffering’ refers (i.e. suffering itself) ought to be fully known.[3]

The Catering Unit of Minh Quang Retreat in Sydney, Australia has offered good services in a very solemn and deliciated manner and its very first meal reminded me of the nice smell of the Bowl of Rice of Fragrance in the old times.

Nguyện đem công đức này, trang nghiêm Phật Tịnh Độ, trên đền bốn ơn nặng, dưới cứu khổ ba đường,
nếu có người thấy nghe, đều phát lòng Bồ Đề, hết một báo thân này, sinh qua cõi Cực Lạc.

May the Merit and virtue,accrued from this work, adorn the Buddhas pureland,
Repay the four great kindnesses above, andrelieve the suffering of those on the three paths below,
may those who see or hear of these efforts generates Bodhi Mind, spend their lives devoted to the Buddha Dharma,
the Land of Ultimate Bliss.
