*THE INTERNET IS THE BEST PLATFORM BESTOWED BY BODHISATTVA FOR US TO PERFORM THE GIVING OF DHARMA*
Caller: Hi Master, you mentioned in one of the radio programs that among the three types of Giving, the Giving of Dharma engenders the greatest merits. Let’s say, you distribute some Buddhist books to some people, who start reading them, the merits gained are immeasurable.
Assuming seven people read the books, does it mean that the merits generated are as much as seven towers of seven-storey Buddhist pagodas.
Based on this concept, if our postings of the dharma material on the internet manage to encourage seven people to practise Buddhism, am I right to say that the merits engendered are similarly as much?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Not exactly. As long as one out of the seven people reads your online postings and shows repentance, you are considered to have saved one life - an immeasurable meritorious deed that is analogous to building a seven-storey pagoda.
Saving a person’s life can be likened to building a seven-storey pagoda. As the saying goes, “Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-storey pagoda”, which essentially means the act of saving one life generates boundless merits.
Caller: Master, if someone practises the dharma because of our online postings of dharma discourses, is it right that the merits are as much as building a seven-storey pagoda?
Master Jun Hong Lu: Absolutely!
Caller: Come to think of it, the online Giving of dharma is very effective.
Master Jun Hong Lu: It’s terrific! Currently, the internet is the best platform bestowed by Bodhisattva for us to perform the Giving of dharma.
