I started this blog "All About Singapore" in 2013. I also started another blog "Heart Sutra and Buddhism" blog in October 2017 and now it is among the Top 50 Buddhist Blogs . I felt happy when I was informed that the Heart Sutra and Buddhism blog became one of the Top 50 Buddhist blogs in January 2018 with Tiny Buddha being number 1 and my blog is now ranked 40th place in the world. I feel happy if my post can inspire people to do good and share Buddha's teaching.
Who am I to write about Buddha's teaching? I won't say I am perfect else I would be in the heavenly realm as a deva (heavenly being) enjoying fruit of good karma or reach enlightenment already. I still do not really understand what enlightenment is as I haven't experience it. Buddha simply said you don't have to go through samsara, cycle of rebirth anymore when you are enlightened. Even the devas (heavenly beings) after enjoying their good karma in the heavenly realm still need to go through samsara. Thus it is important to observe the five precepts, read more dharma and meditate and hopefully one day like Master HuiNeng became enlighten when he heard a verse from the Diamond sutra.
At the moment, I think this is one of my purposes in life. To share Buddha's teaching.
