Inner Peace Leads to a Blissful Life – Protecting the Spiritual Environment Book Clubs

In our digital age of rapid information dissemination and constant social media bombardment, do you have your own everyday recipe for happiness, a quick “peace-in-a-second” remedy you can reach for anytime?

You are warmly invited to join our book clubs!

We will read together Inner Peace Leads to a Blissful Life by Venerable Guo Huei, Abbott President of Dharma Drum Mountain. This book is a collection of articles written by Venerable Guo Huei from 2018 to 2022 about Dharma Drum Mountain’s annual themes, columns, and reports on his Dharma talks, presenting the profound wisdom of Buddha’s teaching in an accessible, simplified manner.

Reading together, we will learn to transform our hearts, experience true peace of mind, and learn that inner peace leads to a blissful life.

Book overview:

• Chapter 1 – Peace Through Faith, Vows, and Practice: Faith in the Three Jewels brings peace; making great vows brings peace; and practicing the Dharma brings even deeper peace.
• Chapter 2 – Inner Peace Through Protecting the Spiritual Environment: Begin with your heart—care for yourself and others, cultivating health, joy, peace, and bliss.
• Chapter 3 – Practicing the mind, moment by moment: “Handle all matters with wisdom, and treat all people with compassion” and “Kindness and compassion have no enemies; wisdom engenders no vexations.” – by combining methods of settling and refining the mind, we can experience inner peace—attaining it is not difficult.
• Chapter 4 Inner peace through developing meaningful and virtuous relationships with others: We constantly grow and improve, so we can continue to serve and contribute. The ultimate goal of learning and growth is to benefit others. The true source of bliss in life is to bring peace to ourselves and all others.
