The talk was followed by the Western Canada Dharma Celebration, where Gen-la gave inspiring and encouraging teachings on faith in the Three Jewels, particularly in Buddha Shakyamuni, who is inseparable from our Spiritual Guide. The teachings were beautiful, powerful, and meaningful. Gen-la explained how every moment offers an opportunity to develop a faithful mind, which opposes our deluded states of mind. He also showed us how to deepen our faith by understanding the meaning of the Liberating Prayer, concentrating on the pre-eminent qualities of Buddha without distraction. From this, faith naturally arises. He encouraged us to maintain this feeling of faith throughout the day and, eventually, our lives.
