From the time of the first teachings of Buddhism

From the time of the first teachings of Buddhism, we have been searching for the importance of “faith”.  

We’re no different from other young adults. We have moments of happiness and sadness, we have wavering moods, we get angry, and we get hot-tempered. We dislike when others dominate us or prove us wrong. We like having fun and we like playing around, just like any other young adult, but we have an innate curiosity to question many of the things around us and we are determined to find the answers to these questions. We want to see for ourselves, to understand the things we don’t yet understand.   

Being so far from home now, this place is far from any signs of development. The situation here is beyond comprehension to city dwellers. In the city, people cause trouble and argue, using “faith” as the justification.  

On the other hand, here in the rural underdeveloped villages, they invoke “faith” as the justification for only one reason: their belief in the Triple Gem as their true refuge. Why is this the case? What is the importance of faith? Join us in “True Faith Never Seeks Attention” as we explore the crucial need for faith in our society today.
