MERITS GAINED BY GIVING TEACHINGS OF THE BUDDHA (DHARMA DANA)

Wenda20130405  05:41
(Master Jun Hong Lu’s Call-In Radio Program)

Caller:  I wish to improve my level of self-cultivation and to dedicate myself to progressing towards this goal.  Though I do not perform much life liberation, I do my utmost to help others spiritually awaken, and with every person I have helped, I tell him to, ‘refrain from the act of killing, not to consume live creatures, and to be a vegetarian on the 1st and 15th days of each lunar calendar month’. 

Master Jun Hong Lu:  That’s correct. 

Caller:  Does these actions measure up to the merits of performing life liberation? Or…?

Master Jun Hong Lu:  These merits are even greater!  This is because Dharma Dana is the highest form of the three types of Dana, with the other two being ‘Wealth Dana’ and ‘Fearlessness Dana’.
