สรุปเนื้อหา
Boon is generated by good actions, keeping precepts, meditating, and listening to Dhamma. It creates positive energy that purifies the mind. Conversely, baap, or bad energy, arises from negative thoughts like greed and jealousy. Dhamma signifies pure nature leading to Nibbana and encompasses Buddha's teachings on cultivating good habits and ethics. Generosity is essential, and its comparison to meditation is nuanced; both lead to better character. Meditation brings personal results by diminishing negativity and enhancing beauty. A comprehensive engagement with Dhamma fosters happiness and personal growth. Visit dmc.tv for more insights.

Q: How is boon generated?
A: Boon is created by doing good acts, keeping precepts, meditating, and listening to the Dhamma. You can feel the energy that is created by these four things. So if you do good acts with good intention, you stop doing bad things, and you purify your mind through meditation, you will be generating boon. Boon is boon and you don’t even have to think about it. So just go make boon and eradicate your defilement. Otherwise, you will be creating baap which is bad energy. Baap is generated by thinking bad thoughts through greed, anger, and jealousy. It is, in fact, dirty energy and undermines your feeling good about what you do, and the desire to do more good.
Q: Could you talk more about the meaning of Dhamma?
A: The first meaning of Dhamma is pure nature. Pure nature leads us to Nibbana. If we have pure nature, or pure mind, we will be filled with happiness. The second meaning of Dhamma has to do with the teachings of the Lord Buddha: It is the summary of the 84,000 teachings and those teachings are about how to practice, and attain, the pure nature within. Unfortunately, there was no recorder during His time to record all of these teachings. But we can summarize all of the teachings as “noncarelessness”. The third meaning of Dhamma has to do with the good habits accorded those who follow the teachings. From beginning students to the more advanced students, it is the ethics, virtues, or morals that we practice and the habits that develop when we follow the teachings. So the third meaning has to do with the behavior or good habits that we display.
Q: Is offering money better than meditating?
A: They are different so this is difficult to compare. But being generous is getting rid of stinginess and it develops a habit of compassion in the mind. And more, you have to understand that you reap what you sow. If you give knowledge easily, you will make a living easily. But we all need to meditate!
Q: What is the result of meditation?
A: The actual results of meditation are individual, but it does get rid of stinginess. If we keep the precepts, we can get rid of our anger by not allowing our mind to follow our anger. It also helps us to be more beautiful! [Everyone smiles at this because, after all, who doesn’t want to be more beautiful!] The results of following the precepts are to
