Buddha
Memorial Center
To achieve peace, some people prepare for war and
some for transcendence. Let��s explore the latter today.
I want to show you Fo Guang Shan��s Buddha Memorial
Center, where people don��t go to pray, but go to get
to know about Buddhism.
The Buddha Memorial Center is in Dashu, Kaohsiung.
So we��re going to take the Taiwan Tourist Shuttle,
Dashu Line. An good way to do it would be to take
the Kaohsiung MRT to Dadong Station and get on the
shuttle from there. Right now we��re at Dadong here
and we��re going to take the shuttle down to here,
the Buddha Memorial Center.
Buddhism is based on the teachings of Gautama Buddha,
also known as ��the Buddha,�� who lived between the
4th to 6th century BCE. He was born Siddhartha Gautama,
a prince, and was said would become either a great
king or a great monk. His father the king was worried
that his son would end up the latter, so hid all forms
of suffering from him. But one day when Siddhartha
snuck out of the palace, he witnessed old age, sickness
and death, things that saddened him and put him on
the path to seek and later to share the way of enlightenment.
This is the Buddha��s relic, one of his teeth. Some
people come out here especially to see this.
The way I see Buddhism and the process of enlightenment
is, you study and learn and understand. Twenty-six�K
And meditate to transcend and detach. There are several
ways to meditate. Some do it by sitting quietly, some
people by making repetitive motions like practicing
kung fu at Shaolin Temple, some do it by making and
drinking tea. Today I'm going to do it by transcribing
sutra.
This is my first time in Dashu and in the Buddha Memorial
Center. And I'm really happy that we got to make this
trip because I��ve always been curious about Buddhism.
This time, I learned a little bit about the religion,
about meditation, achieving inner peace and facing
my fears. So I think it��s been quite educational.
I��m really happy. You should come.
