Скачать или смотреть A Moment of Contemplation | Study Dharma with Great Joy

Studying, contemplating, and meditating are three essential processes in learning and practicing the Buddha's teachings. Initially, we hear the teachings of the Buddha, followed by contemplation of what we have learned, and ultimately, we engage in meditation on our contemplation. Join us as we take a moment to contemplate the Words of Wisdom.


Words of Wisdom for this clip:
We should study Dharma not out of obligation, but with great joy. If we are forced to study by our teachers, parents, relatives, or others, then it is not right. In some cases, although we are not forced by others directly, still we might feel like we are forced. For example, if we must take an exam at the end of a course, even if others have not pressured us, we might feel pressured. As such, we force ourselves to study. If we are studying under pressure, then our intention might be for short term—to do well on the exam. But then, after the exam, we tend to easily forget what we had learned because the intention was not right—it was just for a short-term goal.
--His Holiness the 42nd Sakya Trizin, Ratna Vajra Rinpoche
