The meaning of the name Sakyamuni Buddha

After went bathing .. I thought to myself
all this grumbling isnt going to solve problem , as It will lead to sorrow demon in the Shurangama Sutra
Well , at least I am much better off , than disabled or people not even able to have a proper meal
May I follow a Tibetan Master who gives this teaching
When I breathe in , I take in all the sufferings of the Sentient Beings
When I breathe out , I give happiness to the Sentient Beings

As a matter of fact, my earning is indeed below $2600. But that's not the point.Originally posted by bohiruci:interesting ?
Ask yourself this question .
What would you feel if your pay is really below 2600 per month
and your parent is suffering from illness
and for 4 yrs of your life you havent saved up a single cents , drain by your parents and trying to balance off spending of family
I dun think you encountered that , if u are ,then I must thank you
for this is real thing that happen to me
You are very direct , before you placed your reasoning towards others , please think about the situation I am in .
I would like to hear your views
Seriously
Perhaps you are earning more than that , so you would scoffed off and say
"what a loser here !"
Whether you bothered to reason it out or not , the fact remains I still having a tough life .Much unexpectedly and I still surviving
If you feel that its like a good example of an spendthrift , do state your views
I have made the calculation readily available to you
for your info , My mum is suffering from category 4 stroke ,which mean she need ppl to attend to her and wheel-chair bound and permanent recovery is slim as it is ischemic stroke .
the stroke left her left hand and leg paralysed which she cannot walk
Means she lost the willpower to strive to recover .
FYI, I'm not here to compete with you on who is having the worst family situation. What you are going through is indeed a rough patch, and yes, it's tough on you as a son to take care of your wheel chair bound mom, for this, I admire your filialness and perserverence.
I'm not challenging you in anyway, just merely seeking clarifcation on the point you've made, because I thought Buddha's teachings is for all sentient beings to practise, and Master Sheng Yen didn't design his teachings specifically for those who earn more than $2600. If it's really the case, then I shouldn't be going to dharma drum at all. -
May you find happiness in life, and may your aspiration of following a Tibetan Master materialise soon. Most importantly, may all sentient beings benefit from your act of compassion.Originally posted by bohiruci:After went bathing .. I thought to myself
