WHAT ARE CONSIDERED THE ACTS OF DHARMA GIVING?

Caller: Master has always mentioned about the giving of Dharma, could you please elaborate what acts are considered Dharma Giving and the idea behind it?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Helping others to awaken spiritually, isn’t that a form of Dharma Giving?

When others see you performing good deeds, isn’t that a Giving of Dharma too?

When people see a Buddhist monk they know that he or she is engaged in spiritual cultivation, and they will be inspired to think, “I should practise Buddhism too, I want to be liberated from suffering.” Isn’t this a way of Dharma Giving too?

When you show others that you are a vegetarian, it is also an act of Dharma Giving.

Caller: As long as we perform good deeds, help others and always put ourselves in others’ shoes, all these are considered acts of Dharma Giving?

Master Jun Hong Lu: Yes, it is generally so.
