"วัดพระธรรมกายสอนให้ท่านเป็นคนดีได้อย่างไร"
"How has Wat Phra Dhammakaya taught you to be a good person?"
Wat Phra Dhammakaya, its Abbot, Vice-Abbot and its monk instructors have taught every temple goer to practice the Lord Buddha's Teachings, namely, alms-giving, Precepts observation and meditation practice. The reason is that these three ways of making merit offer untold benefits for the practitioner as well as the society at large. When a person practices generosity by giving alms to such merit-fields as the Buddhist monks who practice righteousness according to the Dhamma-Vinaya, he stands to earn an enormous amount of merit. When he practices generosity on a regular basis, he learns to be a more giving person in every respect. He will be more willing to help out those who are in need whether they are his relatives, friends or complete strangers in the case of disaster victims. A giving person is selfless rather than selfish. When a person observes the Five or higher Precepts daily, he is practicing physical, verbal and mental honesty. Such a person is trustworthy, confident and calm because he has nothing to fear. When a person practices meditation daily, he is training his mind to be increasingly quiet and still. Such a state of mind has untold power because it allows him to see life and the world as they are in reality. It is the source of true knowledge and wisdom. Most importantly, it is the source of inner peace. Inner peace brings with it true happiness.
Merit is the source of every good thing in life be it material wealth, good health, a high level of intelligence and intellect, etc.
