Right Understanding @ right view

Yesterday was a fine day for me, came back early from school. After the tuition, decided to go for KBS english section puja and dharma talk. Initially, my intention was to take a few activity photos. However, the topic of the talk attracted me, its about meditation.

I m keen to meditate, though i seldom sit down to practice. However, i will only grab some of my time to do something mindfully. For example, breathe mindfully, eat mindfully or walk mindfully and stand mindfully. After the offering, we did some puja while waiting for Bhante.

Bhante was from Penang, he can speaks fluent english. Luckily i understood what he talked about last night. In his talk about right understanding or right views, he shared the 5 ways to achieve right understanding:

1. virtue (avoid from doing and perform, more to Sila),
2. wide learning
3. discussion of dhamama
4. tranquility meditation (Samatha)
5. in sight meditation (vipassana)

Bhante's sharing is just like a motivation for me and it helps to refresh and acknowledge something that had been done so far.... listening to dharma is really important but choose the right one or choose something that you are interested in is also important.
