To be a Good Buddhist "Our Cause " Sermon (Part 2)

The Abbot ask the devotee: Isn't you devotees require to refuge to 3 jewels; Buddha, Dharma and Sangha?
(The Devotees: Yes Abbot)

The Abbot: Isn't we require to become good Buddhist?
(The Devotees: Yes Abbot)

The Abbot continue:
If we want to become a good Buddhist, we must respect and must refuge to 3 jewels; Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

But now in Burma, Buddha statue were beheaded, cut here, cut there and do all the inapproriate things that means it is disrespectful to Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.

Not pay attention to the Dharma, Not practise as according to the Dharma, even though Buddha said "Abstain for Killing one Life, Abstain from stealing from others property but if one ignore and doing the all killing and stealing, do you think it is practising the Dharma?
(The Devotee reply. No, it is not practising.)

The Abbot coninue:
If this is happen the Buddhist religion will disappear.
Now things were happening in Burma which would lead to the disappear of Buddhist religion.
Only Buddhist religion will last long for ever if you follow the Buddha teaching(Dharma), example Buddha said abstain from killing, then don't kill anyone. Only then it is only meaningful to say "Dhammam Saranam Gacchami "( I go for refuge to the Dharma ).

Also only when you treat and talk to the Sangha(monks) with respect then it is meaningful to say "Sangham Saranam Gacchami"( I go for refuge to the Sangha ).

Now in Burma, some people are criticising and insulting the monks by saying "Fake Sangha, Sangha Pretender with the robe, Politics Sandha".
Do you agree or not(Ask to the Devotees).
Don't critise or insult the monks, if you say so then there is no more "Sangham Saranam Gacchami"

Don't accuse the monks "Fake Sangha, Politic Sangha, Sangha Pretender with the robe", if accuse so then you will become the member of "that" GANG.

Do you want to become the member of "that Gang"? (ask to Devotees)
(Devotees reply:No we don't want !!)

If you don't want to become a member of that Gang then don't criticise and insult the monks by saying "Fake Sangha, Politics Sangha, Sangha pretender with a robe"

Don't say the monks from this Monastery is this and that, the monks from that monastery is this and that.

If you say so, then you will become a person whose intelligence level is lower than the animal. You will become a person whose intelligence level is lower then the animal.(Abbot repeats 2 times)

To be a Good Buddhist "Our Cause " Sermon (Part 1)

The Abbot preaches .....

• If you TALK with good intention, if you DO with good intention and if you PLAN with good intention you will get back good results.
• if you TALK with bad intention, if you DO with bad intention and if you plan with bad intention you will only get back bad results.
• And after life you will ended in a bad place.
• This is the simplest way of explaining about the "Patthan"(Buddhist Philosophy-The Law of Causal Relation )in a layman term.

The Last thing, I want to tell all of you is .. since now these days there are so many "our causes" everywhere, we the monks, also have to tell about "Our Causes Sermon" to all of you. (Probably the abbot sarcastically mentioned this because the Junta force all kinds of media to print or to show their "our(Junta) three causes" on every news magazine, newspaper, before TV shows, even on the first page of the novel and cartoons everyday and also put on the big Signboard everywhere especially in front of US Embassy ..baydah)

The Abbot lead the Devotee: "To become a Good Buddhist"

The Devotee reply "Our Cause..Our Cause"

The Abbot: "To become a Good Buddhist"

The Devotees: "Our Cause..Our Cause" (devotees replied louder)

The Abbot: "Yes..this is Important..this is important." (said in smile)

(The Devotees chuckled with satisfaction because they understand what the Abbot means and which/what/who he is targeting.)
