A drop of water on its own will easily evaporate, but in the ocean it will always remain." There are many ways you can contribute to WelcomingBuddhist for our future plans.

To not become happy because of praise, To not become unhappy because of blame, To support one's own good virtues, This is the character of the supreme being.
If the intention is good, the levels and paths are good. If the intention is bad, the levels and paths are bad, Since everything depends on intentions it is important that we make them positive.
Do not do anything harmful to one another, do only what is good. Discipline your own mind to subdue negative emotions.
Do no evil whatsoever, practice virtue perfectly, tame your mind completely. This is the teaching of the Buddhist doctrine.

Buddhist Character Perspective
I bow to the sublime embodiment of wisdom Buddha. My sincere wish to repay your kindness. However small a flower is, it is still an offering to Buddha. Even small a gift may be, it is still a token of gratitude. Every day of my life, my good heart is always the best church. There is no need to go to church every Sunday.

In the same way, having these negative intentions you will never be successful because you also make many mistakes, just like you are drunk all the time.
Buddhist teachings teach loving kindness but if people are being negative and superficial the Buddhist teaching always directly or indirectly is subdued. because Buddha is a great Doctor, and his teaching, (Dharma,) is great medicine. Continue reading
