a daily buddhist practice is the foundation of buddhists around the world but

if you're new to buddhism

you may not be sure about well how do i begin what do i actually do for a daily practice

so what we're going to cover here in this video today is how to start off a daily buddhist practice

which is rooted in the buddhist traditions now there are many different buddhist traditions

and each one practice buddhism in a different way so when you find your tradition that speaks to you.

You should follow the practice that they are actually following.

So this will cover a lot of things, but of course, whatever tradition you find yourself in,

they may follow some or none of what I'm going to show you today.

So you really should follow what they're going to be teaching you.

I'll be standing up as I'm showing you all these steps today, and you can kind of go ahead

and replay me as part of your daily practice until you get the hang of it,

right so you can kind of do that uh it's perfectly fine to do

but you know if you have a meditation cushion you know want to do

that that's perfectly fine now if you can't do

that you can't you know maybe you know sit for long periods of time uh in

that position you can definitely use a chair couch something like

that that's perfectly acceptable

so many different ways you can begin your daily practice

you do not have to go very long in your daily practice the the point is practice to practice.

So when we're talking about the Eightfold Path in Buddhism, it's practicing that, you know, practicing the precepts, you know,

it's practicing this as part of our daily practice, not just when you're sitting, you know, for maybe 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes, but it's about,

you know, taking that out into the world when you go out there as a Buddhist.

So let's go ahead and begin.

I'm going to take you through each of the steps here today.

Now, if you have any questions as well, you know, absolutely ask the questions in the comments below,

but we're going to go through all these steps

and I'm going to take you through as if we are going through a daily practice together every single day.

So now we're going to start our daily practice.

What I have in my hand is like a little three ring binder.

It has plastic sheet protectors inside here.

You can find this online, department stores, off supply stores.

It's a nice way to actually organize your daily practice and you just go through it every single day.

You can have scriptures inside here as well and it keeps you on track and it's easy to do.

You You don't have to bring out like, you know, several books where you're, you know, bookmarking certain pages or whatever.

It keeps it organized.

You do not have to do this.

There's a nice way to do it unless your Buddhist tradition actually gives you,

for example, a book you can use for your daily practice and it's guided that way.

That might be good also.

So I'm going to be using this as I take you through the very, you know, basic daily practice.

A few different things, you know, I'm, of course, standing up and I mentioned before you can be on meditation cushion or sitting down, right?

You know, I'll be doing, you know, bowing as well.

if for some reason, you know, maybe a medical condition, you know, bowing is, you know, difficult for you, you don't have to do that.

Another thing, you've probably seen plenty of Buddhists, they're actually, you know, keeping their palms together when they're doing bowing.

So it's actually not flat together.

It's usually kind of like, you know, cusping a little bit.

So almost like where this looks like a lotus flower.

And lotus flowers are very symbolic inside Buddhism.

It's basically, you know, as they come up, it's symbolizing enlightenment.

So you can hold your binder, your scripture, your piece of paper, whatever you want to, you know, you have in your hand,

you can actually hold it the same way.

So when you're doing bowing, you're actually having your hands cussed together as well.

Now, if that's difficult, don't worry, you don't have to do that.

So first thing we're going to cover is the three refuges.

And this version comes from Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh.

I take refuge in the Buddha, the one who shows me the way in this life.

I take refuge in the Dharma, the way of understanding and of love.

I take refuge in the Sangha, the community that lives in harmony and awareness.

Dwelling in the refuge of Buddha, I clearly see the path of light and beauty in the world.

Dwelling in the refuge of Dharma, I learned to open many doors on a path of transformation.

Dwelling in the refuge of Sangha, shining light that supports me, keeping my practice free of obstruction.

Taking refuge in the Buddha, in myself, I aspire to help all people recognize their own awakened nature, realizing the mind of love.

Taking refuge in the Dharma,

in myself, I aspire to help all people fully master the ways of practice and walk together on a path of liberation.

Taking refuge in the Sangha, in myself, I aspire to help all people build fourfold communities to embrace all beings and support their transformation.

Next, we will go to the five precepts.

So these are what the laypersons, the laity, like you and me, take as our moral conduct and code as we go forward as Buddhists.

I will refrain from taking life.

I will refrain from stealing or taking what is not freely given.

I will refrain from sexual misconduct.

I will refrain from false speech.

I will refrain from consuming intoxicants and illegal drugs.

Next, we will cover the five remembrances.

This part of this is actually what the Buddha saw, which truly transformed him to engage on the past where he eventually became a Buddha.

So for us, it's very motivational as well.

The five remembrances.

I am of the nature to grow old.

There is no way to escape growing old.

I am of the nature to have ill health.

There is no way to escape having ill health.

I am of the nature to die.

There is no way to escape death.

All that is dear to me and everyone I love are of the nature to change.

There is no way to escape being separated from them.

I inherit the results of my actions in body, speech, and mind.

My actions are the ground on which I stand.

Next, we will cover meditation.

So this can be many things in many different traditions.

This could be where you're going to engage in chanting, which is a form of meditative concentration, or it could be sitting meditation,

or it could be both.

So depending on your tradition, that's what you would follow.

So a good thing to actually start with now could be just sitting meditation.

I would encourage also looking towards chanting as well, so you can actually do both.

A lot of laypersons actually just do chanting as part of their meditative concentration.

So when you're sitting as far as meditating on a cushion or on a chair or whatever,

the purpose and the form that you're going to do is kind of trying to keep your back, you know, alignment.

So it's just going straight down.

A good analogy is you've got like a stack of quarters or coins, and you're just like stacking them up like that.

100

That's what you want to actually do.

101

You want to relax your body.

102

You want to just do a body focus as you kind of go from like top to bottom

103

and relax all your muscles, the tension inside your body so that you can relax.

104

Your gaze should be roughly about maybe a 45 degree angle down.

105

You can go ahead

106

and you know slightly close your eyes as you do it you don't have to close them all the way

107

that can make you a little too drowsy sometimes

108

and then from there a very basic meditation practice is to count the breath

109

so counting in you would say one you know counting out you would say one

110

so so you just want to count you know one to ten then start over again one to ten

111

if you lose your place start over again the purpose of what you're doing

112

you're doing a bit of calming meditation you know

113

you're trying to settle your mind our mind has lots of thoughts coming up

114

so you want to settle your mind you also as you progress

115

you want to as your mind is settled you focus in

116

and get that insight into the true nature of our world the buddhist teachings

117

but a very basic practice for all buddhists is calming the mind

118

because if you can't calm the mind that's going to allow you to progress further

119

so you can use a meditation app like insight timer

120

or something like

121

that you can have a bell to start a bell to end

122

i'm going to leave it to you to what is best for you at this particular point in this video

123

so you can actually pause this

124

and then on the flip side we'll go to the the next portion of our practice

125

but i would recommend just starting off with a five minute daily practice

126

that's a good one as far as your meditation and then we will continue on.

127

But if you want to go longer, if you want to go 10 minutes, great.

128

If you want to go 15, 20 minutes, great.

129

You don't have to make it hours long, especially for a daily practice you're doing in the morning or in the evening.

130

You probably have to go to work or things going on.

131

So keep it reasonable.

132

Don't make a massive, like I'm going to do a two hour sitting meditation or something like that.

133

Make sure you do something that's obtainable in a short amount of time you're doing your Buddhist practice.

134

So go ahead and pause this right now and begin your meditation and or chanting.

135

And then we will go ahead when you are ready, just press play again and we'll continue on.

136

Now as you finish your meditation and or chanting, an extra step you can do is reading

137

Buddhist scriptures, sutras or suttas.

138

You can do this before meditation.

139

or after meditation.

140

So before meditation, you are going into meditation after reading

141

Buddhist scriptures, which could be beneficial, but also afterwards, if you did it that way, where now it's settled my mind.

142

So reading the Buddhist scriptures might be, I'm more receptive to it.

143

So either way is fine.

144

It has not always been a practice of layperson, it's a lady like you and me, but it's picked up in modern times,

145

which is a great thing because remember in the Noble Eightfold path there's

146

that wisdom category we're going to get the wisdom from the buddhist scriptures

147

so it's great to actually you know read the scriptures

148

if you were chanting as part of meditation and

149

or chanting especially mahayana buddhism it is going to be chanting

150

or reciting a mahayana sutra so you would have covered it

151

that way but you can still read scriptures before or after

152

and your tradition will tell you how you should do this as well.

153

Now, if you're not sure what scriptures to actually read, refer to my website.

154

I'll give you some examples.

155

But you can also have them inside your binder.

156

So when you get to that portion, you're flowing along and you're reading the scriptures at that particular point.

157

It's a great way to do it.

158

The last part of our practice is going to be dedication of merit.

159

And so there's many beliefs and many practices as it comes to this

160

and modifications i'm just going to give you one version

161

but you can find many different other versions online it is a good practice

162

because what we're trying to do in buddhism especially

163

when it comes to you know morality conduct etc i want to arise your generosity compassion

164

and loving kindness inside myself it's very central in buddhism so

165

when you're dedicating merit now our practice today was rooted in the noble eightfold path

166

we are following the his teachings it's very very notorious we've gained merit from it was wholesome but does

167

that mean we keep it to ourselves it's not like somebody's you know has a coin put into a bank

168

or something like that and we're not going to give out

169

that coin so in some parts this is symbolic

170

but what we're doing we're transforming ourselves

171

and this is gonna be my opinion on this so

172

when we are dedicating merit whether we are actually giving away our merit

173

or you know it is going to be a

174

symbolic type thing we're transforming remember the the compassionate generosity loving kindness we are transforming ourselves

175

so when we engage with other sentient beings in the real world

176

or outside of our daily practice inside our home that's a right

177

so we are transforming ourselves and thus we are able to help them as well

178

so it is a very good practice is helping you break down this belief in this permanent everlasting independent self

179

which the buddha remember says doesn't exist so

180

that delusion you're wiping it clean in your daily practice

181

which is what we're doing as buddhists when we can break down

182

and get rid of this belief in self we are engaging

183

and advancing on the path the buddhist noble eightfold path

184

and then we are able to get rid of this clinging craving

185

that's resulting in dukkha the cycle of rebirth suffering etc

186

it's very very important so this is just going to be my version right here again there's many different versions online.

187

For all sentient beings, I dedicate the meritorious actions of this practice

188

so they may be guided and liberated from delusion and suffering with the light of the Buddha's Dharma.

189

And with that, you have concluded your daily practice.

190

A great step to do afterwards is actually to give thanks.

191

And so remember that generosity, compassion, everything.

192

Giving thanks is a good thing.

193

So in the beginning, we did our triple gem, right?

194

So we can give thanks as well.

195

You do not have to do this, but it's a great practice as well.

196

And remember, when you are bowing to the Buddha, yes, it is to the Buddha, our teacher, but also to our inner

197

Buddha nature, to the Buddha inside of us.

198

So the Buddha, upon his awakening, he was astonished, you know, that upon his realization that all sentient beings can do exactly what he did.

199

It was not a miraculous feat in the sense that only he could do it, that anybody can do it,

200

but we were so caught in delusion, so in love with self and everything else that we can't see it.

201

And he's helping us see that.

202

And through our daily practice, we are trying to advance on that as well.

203

So remember, when you are bowing to the Buddha, it is to the Buddha, but also to the Buddha inside yourself.

204

What we're seeing with the Buddha, that's what we want to arise also.

205

So you can follow along with me if you'd like to.

206

We give thanks to the Buddha.

207

we give thanks to the Dharma, we give thanks to the Sangha,

208

and we give thanks to all practitioners, yourself included.

209

We are all practicing at different times, different locations, but we are all in this together as Buddhists,

210

and so engaging in daily practice we're all connected in that way

211

because we are following the buddhist teachings we are thankful we are grateful to have him his teachings the dharma

212

that are helping us that are prescription and we are thankful

213

and grateful to have the monastics were basically his aids in helping us progress as well

214

so thank you for joining me if you have any questions, including what Buddhist practice you're actually doing,

215

daily practice, I would love to hear that in the comments below.

216

Thank you.

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
