Synopsis :
Buddha the Illuminator
Buddha the Illuminator
There are three things that can light up the world. The moon illuminates the darkness of the night, the sun illuminates the world, and a Buddha illuminates the darkness of the mind. As we understand, that stain of ignorance, greed, and hatred causes beings to revolve in samsara i.e. the cycle of birth and death in the planes of existence.
The Buddha's presence is a blessing to a world engulfed in long darkness. Even though the Buddha has long passed away, the Dhamma he taught is still a precious legacy for generations
for generations.
Master Hui Neng
Synopsis :
Master Hui Neng's life is really interesting to follow. Born into a poor family, he did not have the opportunity to receive formal education. But the roots of virtue that he had, enabled him to understand a verse of diamond silk he heard from someone when he was on his way to town selling firewood. The “limited enlightenment”, which he obtained from hearing the sutra, was the beginning of his journey to become a zen master, the 6th patriarch.

Various attempts have been made to get Sigala to meet the Buddha or his disciples and listen to the Dhamma. But Sigala thought that there was no point in visiting the Sangha, because of that
