The Value of Pursuing Happiness in Traditional Culture

Obeying all sentient beings and following the merits of happiness is a key method of practicing Buddhism. Here are some guiding principles:

1. Respect others' beliefs and opinions: Constant obedience to all beings is a Buddhist concept, which emphasizes respect for others' beliefs and opinions, regardless of whether they are consistent with their own beliefs. In daily life, we can show this respect by listening to others' opinions, respecting others' beliefs and opinions and avoiding judgment and criticism.

2. Cultivate a kind heart: Accompanying merits and demerits refers to treating others' good deeds or achievements with joy and praise. In daily life, we can practice the virtue of following happiness by cultivating a kind heart, paying attention to the advantages and achievements of others, and expressing gratitude and praise.

3. Maintain mindfulness and orthography: Mindfulness means focusing on the present thinking and action, and avoiding over-thinking and worrying about the future. Orthodoxy refers to the use of clear, definite and gentle language to express your views and opinions, and to avoid using offensive or negative language.

4. Doing good and helping others: Doing good and helping others is one of the important ways of Buddhist practice. We can start with small things, such as helping people in need, caring about the needs of others and taking part in voluntary activities.

5. Constant study and practice: It takes constant study and practice to practice Buddhism. We can continue to study and practice Buddhism by reading Buddhist scriptures, following Buddhist scholars or practice instructors, and joining practice groups.

In a word, obedience to all beings is a positive way to cultivate goodness, which requires us to respect others, cultivate kindness, maintain mindfulness and righteousness, do good and help others, and keep learning and practicing.
