Thích Nguyên TạngIt is my great pleasure to receive an invitation from the Senior Venerable Thich Nguyen Tang to write an introduction for his new book. I don’t think that my very poor introduction will be sufficient for his book. Perhaps it could be unfair to his great endeavor - better delete it. However, I take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude towards him. I stayed in his monastery for a short time, during which time I was so well treated by him as his own monastery brother. I write this introduction very happily, even it is poor, to offer him a tribute. On one hand, I consider it as my great obligation and on the other hand it is my privilege.]]>Mon, 11 Sep 2023 10:35:00 GMThttp://quangduc.com/a74784/lunar-new-year-2023-festival-at-quang-duc-monastery-fawkner-victoria-australiahttp://quangduc.com/a74784/lunar-new-year-2023-festival-at-quang-duc-monastery-fawkner-victoria-australiaHT.

I know quite a few who have found a refuge of peace in their gardens. Cultivating, planting seeds, adding water and nutrients all help in maintaining a healthy garden. They are also a necessary part in taking care of our bodies. But what about the mind? Generosity, ethics, loving-kindness, compassion, meditative concentration and wisdom are the food for our inner spiritual garden.

Thích Nguyên TạngINTRODUCTION "WITHIN A TREE, THERE IS A FLOWER WITHIN A ROCK, THERE IS A FLAME" BY SENIOR VENERABLE THICH NGUYEN TANG, QUANG DUC MONASTERY MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA. "...The gift of the Dhamma excels all gifts; the taste of the Dhamma excels all tastes, and delight in the Dhamma excels all delights. The eradication of craving (i.e., attainment of arahatship) overcomes all ills (samsara dukkha). The gift of the Dhamma is the greatest giving among the all other givings. The one who is well trained in the Dhamma will share his understanding of the Dhamma either by writing a book, by preaching Dhamma, by discussing Dhamma, or by writing an article. Master Thich Nguyen Tang has used all these methods in his contribution to the Dhamma. Giving food or clothes or any other material items to a person makes them happy and they indeed will survive in the world, but they cannot get rid of this terrible circle of birth and death. It can be done only by understanding the noble Dhamma.

The teachings of the Buddha are meant as much for the building of an order of communities as for the harmonious ordering of an individual’s personal life. In addition, Buddhism is concerned with the cessation of suffering, it must necessarily teach the way to the cessation of social suffering no less than the suffering of each individual. It is precisely to mention of forgiveness and reconciliation.]]>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 21:04:00 GMThttp://quangduc.com/a66205/tranquillity-incomparable-wayhttp://quangduc.com/a66205/tranquillity-incomparable-wayNS Thích Nữ Tịnh Vân‘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]]]>Thu, 08 Aug 2019 20:55:00 GMThttp://quangduc.com/a65961/buddhist-approach-to-mindful-leadership-through-an-auspicious-dayhttp://quangduc.com/a65961/buddhist-approach-to-mindful-leadership-through-an-auspicious-dayNS Thích Nữ Tịnh VânBuddhist Approach to Mindful Leadership through An Auspicious Day Bhikkhuni.

This should be a wake up call for the Hodgman government which has ripped up Tasmania’s ClimateSmart strategy and continues to subsidise the emissions-intensive native forest logging industry. The science tells us that protecting the vast stores of carbon in Tasmania’s forests must be part of our response to climate disruption. Tasmania is uniquely placed to be a world leader in responding to global warming, but the state government seems happy to keep its head in the sand and ignore the enormous opportunities that exist to create jobs and prosperity in low carbon industries.

Thích Nguyên Tạng, Hoa ChíAmitabha Buddha’s name chanting is an easy method of cultivation in which beliefs are difficult to have, especially in this age of information technology when people care more about material comfort than the spiritual life. However, as in the Buddha’s teachings: Buddhahood is a nature of mind and it’s the mind that possesses the Buddhahood, ringing about enlightenment. Therefore, as Buddhists, we have to believe in Buddha’s teachings. The Flower Adornment Sutra stated: “Beliefs are the mother of all the good merits.”.
