Rev. ChingNu Mong Marma
ABSTRACT:
We, human beings are social beings[ ] because we live in families, we works in teams and we generating generation after generation and we cannot live alone. Moreover, the most valuable thing is we can think better than other creatures and this special quality make us a huge different from other creatures in the world. But being human beings and live in society it is not enough as human beings, we have to have Humanity and better quality than other creatures and that is why we follow Religions. Every religion shows us a good path to follow and advise us to improve our humanity’s qualities and As a Buddhist Monk I follow what the Buddha had said. In Buddhism fundamental teaching is accepted Karma and rebirth. It commonly understands that if we do good things its follow us back as well bad things. The basic of Buddhist teaching are morality, five Precepts, The Four Noble Truth. These are foundation of Buddhism to be followed. Morality (Sîla), concentration (Sammadhi) and wisdom (Panna). Of them, morality (Sila) is the first step which we should practice and it is essential for today society. And each of them helps us to improve our humanity.
