Sami Seng's guide to be a buddhist

Remarks : For non buddhist readers, you can still go through this entry as it's more on a personal views towards buddhism and quite nonsense anyway ..

For those who had mistaken me as Sami Vellu, mind you that I'm far better looking compare to him, and he's more of a comedian not a 'sami'.

For starters .. lets look at this video clip :D


The mantra name is 'da bei zhou', notice that the guy is quite cute. So firstly what I can conclude is that buddhist are mostly cute like me :D

There are few simple rules to be a Buddhist. One of the most important essence is moderation. The buddhist way of living is moderation; be moderate in everything. Moderate means not over doing it, or being extreme coz extremist leads to terrorism, which is not healthy. There are many ways to apply moderation in our life, like eating fast food moderately (to avoid arteries being clogged), work moderately and even watch porn moderately.

Moderation will prevent obsession and addiction. For instance, watching too much porn will result into over self desire and might lead to something nasty. There's this buddhist talk about preventing oneself from obsession and addiction. In fact, the most important is self-control coz when you have the ability to control your mind, you'll be less obsessed with whatever you are addicted with. Some might questioned, why not just stop watching porn ? Again we could apply moderation here. Not watching porn at all is like putting yourselves in an extreme morale curfew, and anything extreme is not good. If you do not have the habit to watch porn, then it's fine not to watch at all.

Another buddhism traits is to be healthy. Look at those shaolin monk with shaolin kungfu; everyone of them have a strong body. This is why I'm asking my fellow buddhist friends to join Penang Bridge marathon with me :D

Oh and yeah, buddhism is also about karma; be nice to others and others will be nice to you, doing good deeds will bring others happiness.

Unknown facts about buddhist monk :
A buddhist monk does not need to be a vegetarian. A monk will eat everything that is offered to him and the principle is unnecessary killing. Buddhist do not kill, even for food. Buddhist monk has no income and their food/stuffs are from donations. When buddhism is spread to China, chinese people are more shy to seek for donation thus they plant crops to support themselves, thus bringing a culture of vegetarian.

p/s: this post is not an official post that is reflecting buddhism, just some simple point of view from sami seng.. for me, buddist is about being moderate, kind and loving, and most importantly cute :p Buddhism is more on a teaching and not religion, we are not required to offer prayers but most importantly we should practice all the good habits, although there are some teachings that i do not agree (i can't resist on killing mosquitoes that bit me)
