I hope everyone is happy and doing good. Think about the meaning of Dharma in your daily life and that Dharma might be something really useful and something beneficial to you, to your life, to your family. Also because of that, because Dharma is useful to your life, we have to practice. And we have to use, try to use, try to think, try to remember what is necessary.
The reason for us to practice Dharma is we are being so selfish and our self-fixation is so strong. Too much self-fixation creates a lot of problems. So to diminish or eliminate self-fixation, we need to know genuine Dharma and we need to know how to practice genuine Dharma.
And then we need to create new thing in the mind, something new related to Dharma, new understanding, new realization. That is the reason for us to practice Dharma.
When we practice the Dharma correctly, we become more peaceful
Even though you have power, a name, a little fame and maybe a little richness, we lose when we lose our life, everything together. And not only of that, we have to go through difficulties because of our incorrect view and incorrect conducts. But at the same time, as we are too much into these things like this all the time, we don’t see ourselves “how it is like”.
It is really something that we need to be very careful. Dharma is only for the liberation. Pure Dharma is the Dharma. Worldly dharma is not Dharma.
So, Peace and Peaceful group (laughed). It’s is a very beautiful title and even the meaning of that title is more beautiful and more important than anything else. I try to accomplish it, I try to be peaceful every day, every hour and every minute. At least, I’m trying. We have to try to be peaceful externally and internally, secretly; physically and mentally.
Buddha said that human beings are sometimes a little too much for their desires and they are a little too much selfish. And they don’t have compassion for other sentient beings or creatures like fish, like chickens, or other animals because they eat them too much. And naturally, these animals have a lot of fears when they see human beings because of our habitual tendency, our aggressiveness. I think it is true that we have a lot of fear to the so-called demons or beings that eat flesh of humans.

“They even go so far as to trample on the commitment there should be between a lama and a student, even.” They should not do that. So the jealousy or envy everywhere. Everyone has some somehow this kind of mental problem.
