We listened to a Dharma Discourse given by H.H. Dorje Chang Buddha III in China on “Impermanence” at 9:00 am PDT on July 17 and will do so again on July 27. It focuses on a most important issue in our lives and what we should do about this matter. I have added a few questions you should think about in listening to and contemplating this discourse. The Buddha Master also gives us some excellent advice on how we should help save living beings. This is considered one of the very important discourses that those just beginning to learn and practice Buddhism as well as all disciples must understand to be able to progress on the Buddhist path.
