Venerable shared that:
Buddhism is meant to be applied in our daily lives, for our happiness, and not to be utilised as a yardstick with which to measure others.
It might sound like common sense, but how many of us truly practice correctly.
Even as Buddhist, we have the tendency to judge and comment that that person shouldnt be doing this or that simply because they happen to be Buddhist.
Buddhist philosophy or principles (or however you wish to term it), is simply guidelines for us to live our lives in order to have happiness. It is meant to be applied to oneself, and not to discriminate or judge others.
I am still judging. I only pray that I can develop more mindfulness to increase euqanimity.
