I am going to end this tour with a BIG “thank you” for being interested in learning and understanding The Teachings of The Buddha. It was a pleasure to share these Teachings with you, and provide you this tour of Wat Umong.
There are many other aspects of this Temple that I did not share with you, so you might decide to look around and explore on your own. However, this tour encompasses all the major areas of the Temple.
I like to end each time I share The Teachings of The Buddha with Students with a “thank you” because, by your learning, reflecting on, and practicing The Teachings of The Buddha, this is the most beneficial thing you could ever do for yourself, those close to you, and all of humanity.
Because as you become a more loving, kind, warm, and gentle individual who lives in peace and without harming others, this is helping you, those close to you, and all of humanity.
So, “thank you” for your contribution to learning, growing, and developing into a better human being who is choosing to not cause harm to others.
When individuals come to a Temple, they sometimes choose to offer support through sharing their time, effort, energy, or resources. The Buddha taught the practice of generosity, giving and sharing without any expectation of anything in return, in order to train the mind to “let go”. It is the mind holding on, craving and clinging, wanting and expecting, that is causing the mind to experience discontent feelings such as sadness, anger, frustration, irritation, annoyance, guilt, shame, fears, boredom, loneliness, shyness, jealousy, resentment, stress, anxiety, etc. It is through training the mind to “let go”, that one can completely eliminate 100% of all discontent feelings.
The Buddha taught meditation, and several other techniques, to train the mind to “let go”. Giving and sharing one’s time, effort, energy, and resources to help others, without any expectation of anything in return, helps train the mind to “let go”, thus, working to eliminate one’s discontent feelings. In addition, by supporting a Temple, you are supporting the ability for people to gain access to The Teachings of The Buddha, receiving assistance and guidance in developing a better life.
If you have offered your support to our Temple or me, in any way, we sincerely appreciate your kindness and generosity. Your support helps us, to help you and many others around the world.
