SOP: Cultivating Buddhahood in Daily Life

Objective

To integrate the teachings of Buddhism into daily life, fostering compassion, resilience, and courage.

Key Steps

  1. Mindful Awareness: Be conscious of the inner struggle between opposite realities, focusing on the 9th consciousness (Buddhahood) while carrying out actions in the 6th consciousness (day-to-day realm).

  2. Practicing Compassion: Strive to respond to challenges from the vast perspective of Buddhahood, pausing automatic habitual tendencies, and engaging in behavior as a humane human being.

  3. Harmonizing Essence: Connect the timeless essence of Buddhism with everyday life, developing resilience and letting life flow through you rather than trying to control it.

  4. Chanting for Clarity: Use chanting to draw on your Buddhahood, shaping your life and breaking down delusions that limit your potential.

  5. Sharing Compassion: Utilize your experience of lower worlds to resonate with those in need, seeing them in their pure nature and offering hope.

  6. Universal Enlightenment: Understand that Buddhism is for everyone, offering teachings of universal enlightenment, hope, courage, and compassion.
