Question
What does a typical day in the life of a Buddhist entail?
Hi Steve,
This is most interesting! If I may ask a question back? What does a typical day in the life of a Christian entail? Your answer is as good as mine.
Buddhists are just ordinary people. They are no saint.
Generally speaking, a "good" Buddhist would begin the day with some Buddhist recitation and end the day likewise. And during his whole life he should try his best to reduce greed, hatred and delusion.
Regards,
Justin Choo
