The Middle Way and Noble Eightfold Path
The Middle Way and Noble Eightfold Path AUG/26/ 2023—AUG / 27/ 2023 Hello everyone, welcome to our Dharma talk at Great Thunder Meditation Center. If we divide Dharma cultivation into three parts,it would be precepts, samadhi and wisdom. The purpose of the precepts is to cultivate the concentration of thoughts and mindfulness, helping people attain the samadhi by keeping the precepts. The samadhi’s function is to cultivate the consistency and stability of thought, to accomplish the amend of thoughts, to rise the wisdom beyond the world’s insights, which is finding the own wisdom in samadhi. Therefore, it can be seen from this that the purpose of practising Dharma is not…

The Four Noble Truths’ Cause and Effect
The Four Noble Truths Cause and Effect JUL/29/ 2023—JUL / 30/ 2023 Hello everyone, welcome to our Dharma talk at Great Thunder Meditation Center. The Four Noble Truths include two parts of causes and effects: one is the cause and effect in the world, that is, dukkha and samudaya. Dukkha is the fruit of this world, and samudaya is the cause of the world. The second is the causes and effects that help people to renunciate the worldly engagements, which is, nirodha and marga. Nirodha is the fruit of renouncing the world and marga is the cause of renunciation of the world engagements. Suppose we understand the teachings of the…

The Four Noble Truths Dharma JUL/22/ 2023—JUL / 23/ 2023 Hello everyone, welcome to our Dharma talk at Great Thunder Meditation Center. Two thousand and five hundred years ago, the prince of Kapilavastu, whose name was Siddhāttha Gotama attained the enlightenment after seven days of sitting meditation under the Bodhi tree.

Why did the Buddha taught it at the first turning of the Dharma wheel? Dukkha, samudaya (“arising,” “coming together”),…

Verifying Real Dharma by Three Marks of Dharma
Verifying Real Dharma by Three Marks of DharmaJUL/08/ 2023—JUL / 09/ 2023 Hello everyone, welcome to our Dharma talk at Great Thunder Meditation Center. What is the significance of the three marks of Dharma for us? First, impermanence is hope. “Whatever is phenomenal is ephemeral” is to tell us that although everything in the world is impermanent, it is changing at every second. For example, “good things could become a bad thing” is impermanence, but “misfortune may prove to be a blessing in disguise”, this is also impermanence. Hence, impermanence has its positive, optimistic and energetic side also. I’ve watched a movie before, a poor kid from slum became a…
