What does Buddhism give to its followers who practise Buddhist principles?

18/05/2021

   Touching on this subject, we may get the anser from the chanting in praise of the Buddha which says as follows:-

      "Showing the way to alleviate suffering as well as to gain  happiness, to Nibbana which is free from all sufferings:              And for what ?

      "For eliminating unkind heart and sinful mind of men and women. World beings can rely on him, the Buddha, and give pu their sins and turn to do good :

      Also from the chanting in praise of the Dhamma, we may get the following answer:-

      The Dhamma is the course of virtues the right and the helpful. It is like bright light from the Great Teacher. "And the benefit we will get from that bright light of the Dhamma is the fact that "it brightens and clears the mind of men."

 

          Thus, the Dhamma serves as the pointer to the way of life both "useful and useless", so that those having studiedthe Dhamma are able to apply the Dhamma to benefit their careers and responsibilities and are rewarded with happiness. The Buddha had pointed out three levels of benefits to be gained from the religion for the present life on various occasions to come up later,

      What should be understood in the first places is that what Buddhism gives tothe followers is within the bounds of Buddhism. That comprises all actions which benefit and providehappiness to the general public- an assistance to people of the world through advices and teachings, As  Sasana or religion means teachings, what were given by the Buddha are the teachings whic serve as principles of life in bringing about benefit and happiness to persons, families, societies, nation, including the world in common. Such benefits are summed up by the Buddha as of three levels shich must be studied and practised by those wanting benefits from Buddhism. The three levels are:-

      "Knowing what is what in the natural phenomenon, knowing penalties of all vices and try to alleviate, suppress, overcome, abandon, and fix the target of reaching any level before practising in accordance with principles and rules concerned in order to achieve results as stated by the Buddha".
