On 27 Sept 2026, Datuk Charlie explores the concept of Practical Buddhist Living, specifically tailored for laypeople who navigate worldly desires, careers, and family responsibilities rather than seeking total renunciation. The speaker argues that the Buddha’s teachings are not just for monks but offer a symbiotic relationship where successful, wealthy disciples support the religious community while receiving spiritual guidance on managing life’s vicissitudes of gain and loss. By understanding core principles like impermanence (Anicca) and non-attachment, individuals can cultivate a peaceful and contented mind that remains resilient amidst the inevitable changes of health, wealth, and status. He emphasises self-reliance through the Noble Eightfold Path, encouraging practitioners to integrate ethics and mindfulness into their modern vocations to achieve a balance of health, wealth, and emotional wellness. Ultimately, the purpose of the discourse is to redefine Buddhism as an experiential and accessible philosophy centred on doing good, avoiding evil, and purifying the mind in the present moment.
On 20 Sept 2026, Bro. Mitra Chong explores the Buddhist perspective on balancing worldly success with inner peace. While acknowledging that aspirations for wealth, career advancement, and family harmony are natural for laypeople, the talk highlights the danger of craving, which occurs when one’s happiness becomes entirely dependent on external results. True suffering arises not from having possessions or titles, but from being enslaved by them and defining one's worth through temporary status. By shifting from a mindset of constant accumulation to one of gratitude and contribution, individuals can enjoy life’s comforts without the fear of losing them. Ultimately, he encourages a balanced life where outer achievements are anchored by inner success, such as integrity, wisdom, and the ability to let go.
On 13 September 2026, Ven. Dr. Chandima presents a Dhamma talk on the wisdom of the Kalahavivāda Sutta (Sn 4.11) to uncover the psychological origins of human conflict. The teaching identifies a chain of causality where quarrels and disputes arise from our attachment to dear people and things. These attachments are fundamentally rooted in desire, which serves as the primary engine for greed and expectation. According to the text, this desire is ultimately triggered by our subjective reactions to pleasant and unpleasant feelings. By understanding these internal mechanisms, individuals can find the wisdom to overcome the roots of friction within themselves. The final goal is to achieve a higher victory by resolving the internal states that lead to external suffering.
Explore an extensive archive of over 2,500 Dhamma talks from Ven. Thanissaro Bhikkhu of the Metta Forest Monastery. Rooted in the Thai Forest Tradition, these insightful 15-minute sessions have been recorded nightly since 2000 and are updated at the start of every month.
Dhamma talks are held following each Puja session every Sunday. Speakers are invited each week to share the Dhamma with members and friends of BUBS. We are blessed to have many Sangha members, locally and overseas offering Dhamma teachings as well as lay Dhamma speakers.
