Buddho I Should Say

It is for the Buddha to appear in this world.
To meet the time of Buddha's appearance is difficult. But we are lucky to be able to hear the Buddha's teaching. If we can understand this we can get the benefits, said Sayadaw Vimala in today's Dhamma Talk at BMBMC.

The world cycles are very long. This world will last a long time. So, it is going to difficult to be born during the Buddha's time. It is not even easy to hear the word Buddha. So is to say the word Buddha is also very difficult. For example the Thai people repeated tr word Buddho almost every day even in meditation as this habitual repetition is beneficial.

Even to be born as a human being is rare.

I believe what Sayadaw intends to teach us is that we have to strengthen our faith in the Triple Gem. We tend to be lazy to follow the Buddha's teaching as our tanha is great.
