Practice of Dharma is not
something that we do outside of the way we live our lives. Sometimes, we feel that
“I am a Buddhist” or decide and declare strongly “I am a follower of the
Dharma”. But then sometimes, if we look at ourselves, we are not really sure
that we are a good person, or living a positive way of life.
If that is the case, then it is
almost impossible for to say “I am not trying to become a good person, and “I
am a practitioner of the Dharma”. They do not go together; it simply cannot be.
So therefore, to practice Dharma means to become a better human being, and to
become a better human being means that we live our life with Dharma practice
within, an integral part of the way we live our life.
With this precious human life, we
have these opportunities to become a better human being, and we also have the
responsibility to become a better human being.
