Question
Hi,
I heard that Master Chin Kung consider Buddhim to be an education. I plan to study Buddhism. Do you know how long it will takes to complete Buddhism? Also, what topics are covered in Buddhism? Thanks!
Hi Mr Chau,
Thank you for asking me.
Buddhism is for life. First, you can say it is education. The first step is to gain knowledge of what the Buddha taught. The second step is to put his teachings into practice. The third step is experiencing the results of the practice. And the journey repeats itself. It is a life-time process. What we are doing is to reduce our defilements of greed, hatred and delusion, so that we can become purer in thoughts, speech and actions, thus experiencing inner peace and happiness.
Please take your time brousing through the following websites, and you will gradually learn Buddhism.
