How can we integrate Buddhism into our daily lives?

How can we integrate Buddhism into our daily lives?

When you wake up in the morning, try to make your first thought, “Today, I don’t want to harm anyone. I’m going to help others as much as possible. May all my actions be directed towards the long-term goal of becoming a Buddha to benefit others.” 

After you get up, meditate for a while to get in touch with your inner calm, to learn about yourself, and to set up good motivation for the day.

地藏菩萨本愿经. 忉利天宫神通品第一


佛陀告诉文殊师利菩萨:

比如三千大千世界
所有的草木、丛林、稻麻、竹苇、山石、微尘
每一样物品都数做一条恒河

每一条恒河的沙粒
都算作一个世界

每一个世界的每一颗微尘
都算作一劫的时间

一劫的时间之内所累积的微尘数量
全部都算为一劫的时间

地藏菩萨证得十地菩萨的果位以来的时间
千倍多于上数的比喻

文殊师利菩萨啊!

地藏菩萨的威德神通誓愿是不可思议的

若未来世有善男子善女人
听闻地藏菩萨的名字

或赞叹地藏菩萨
或瞻视与礼拜地藏菩萨
或称念地藏菩萨的名号
或供养地藏菩萨

以及彩色绘画雕刻塑造油漆
地藏菩萨的形像

这些人将会百次往返
出生于三十三天
永远不会堕落到恶道
