Join us for a new course on how to change our life! If we make effort to develop our good qualities and abandon our faults, we shall definitely achieve a level and degree of happiness, that has so far, been missing from our life.

Every year on September 22 we celebrate Buddha’s return from the desire god realm called Land of the Thirty-three Heavens, where he had been to visit his mother who had been reborn there. Traditionally this day also marks the end of the summer retreat. Every year, during the summer months, Buddha did a three-month retreat with his disciples. His reason was to avoid harming insects and other animals. If we go out a lot during the summer months we will naturally kill more insec...ts and other animals than at other times of the year. The nature of Buddhadharma is compassion an unbiased compassion that is not just for humans but for every living being, including animals. In fact, we should have stronger compassion for animals than for human beings because animals suffer more. Human beings have better conditions and are more fortunate than animals. Because animals have so much suffering and no freedom, out of compassion Buddhists should try not to kill or disturb them. This day is therefore very special. It is said that if we engage in any kind of virtuous action on this day it becomes especially powerful and our merit greatly increases. For example, if we offer one single light offering this action is multiplied to become millions of light offerings. On this day we should especially remember Buddha’s kindness. #buddhadharma #buddha #shakyamuni #wisdom #meditation #goodkarma #enlightenment #meditationinhamilton #animals
