How to speak effectively?

Anyone can deliver a speech. Not everyone can deliver an effective speech.To deliver an effective 
speech there are 6 points should consider.
 
1. Be prepared - Being prepared is by far the most important point.How many times do you 
practice your speech? As a general rule, you should spend about 30 hours of preparation for 
every hour you will be speaking.Use a tape recorder or videotape yourself. This will help 

you to get anaccurate picture of how you speak.

 
2. Give of yourself - Use personal examples and stories in your speech whenever possible. Make sure your stories help to emphasize yourpoint.The stories must match your massage . Use examples

 from you personal and professional life to make your point. In 

either case be willing to give of yourself by sharing some of your experiences with the audience.

 
3. Stay relaxed - To stay relaxed you should prepared. Also, focus on your massage and not the audience. Use gestures. Practice the opening of your speech and plan exactly how you will deliver it. The audience will judge youin the first 30 seconds they see you.

 
4. Use Natural Humour - Don't try to be a comedian. Use natural humour by poking fun at yourself and something you said or did. Be sure not to make fun of anyone in the audience. People will 

laugh with you when you poke fun at yourself but don't overdo it.
 
5. Plan Your Body and Hand Position - During the practice of your speech look for occasions where you can use a gesture.

 Establish three positions where you will stand and practice not only 

how to move to them but where in your speech do you move. Pick three positions,one on center stage, one to your right,an done to your left. When you do move maintain eye contact with the audience.
 
6. Pay attention to all details - Make sure you have the right location (school,Hotel, room and time ). Ask how large and 
audience you will be speaking to.Make sure you bring all your 
visual aids and plenty of handouts. Arrive early so that you 
can check out where you will be speaking and make any last
minute adjustments.

Self-Confidence for Success...!

Self-confidence is the first step to success. Man has conquered nature because of his 
self-confidence. It was the self-confidence
 of Columbus that laid the road from Europe 
to America.Vasco da Gama,Portuguese 
navigator, discovered the sea route to India via Cape of Good Hope opening up Indian trade; Tending Norkay and Edmund Hillary,mountaineers, reached the top of mount Everest; Neil Armstrong, American astronaut, set his foot on the moon; it was their self-confidence that led them to success.
It was with self-confidence that Alexander the Great of Macedon won country after country. But it is not always easy. There may be pitfalls. Defeats and downfalls may threaten. But failures should be converted not merely as stepping stones but as lifts. As a poor boy, Abraham Lincoln had to run long distance for getting books. In personal life he had several failure. In political life too failure one after the other challenged him. His self-confidence stood against all
odds and led him to the highest office of the President of the United State of America.

WHY RESPECT OUR PARENTS ..

As Buddhist children we respect our parents. We worship them in the morning

before we go to school and again we worship , before going bed.

When we worship them they bless us. Their blessing are very powerful

because their love unlimited and pure.

Our parents have sacrificed a lot when we were small babies.
At that time we were unable to attend to our day to day work.
We were not able to talk. When we were felt hungry or thirsty we just
cried. Mother was always there to fulfill our requirements. She fed us, looked
after us and attended all the work.
We looked clean and pretty due to her uninvited attention and care. She did not
get proper sleep when we were small babies.
She did not leave us when we were sick. Mothers work for twenty four hours, unpaid,
uninvited and without any request.
Father was there to help her by sharing the work. He helped mother to protect us.
Both of them taught us the first few words to make our lives easier rather
than crying for everything. We were taught good habits from the child-hood.
They helped us to walk and talk. If not for them we would have covered with dirt.
When we started the schooling, they arranged everything possible for our safety.
Helped us in our homework and they wanted us to have a better life than what they had. When we were young and able to attend to our requirements, still they helped us. Until the day we earn and start and independent life they will be behind us,
waiting to help whenever we ask.
As such, can we wash our hand off, when we are independent?
Can we forsake them when we can look after ourselves?
Parents are precious because , we are because of them though we will be because of
ourselves. Mother, Father, we are grateful for all sacrifices you did. If not for you. We will not be able to see the world.
A very big thank to both of you> Just as you devoted your lives, we promise to devote our time and energy to protect you and give love to make you happy.
" The blessings we get from parents have a miraculous power ”

BUDDHA STATUE...

We need to remember the people we love and like. As we need to remember them in

their from, we take photographs and keep them in a photo album or frame them

so that we can keep them inside our house . This is same with the things we like too.

There are symbols which represent some important things, such as Pagoda, national
flag and Buddhist flag. When we see them we get a feeling of love, respect and loyalty. In the same way, We have Buddha Statues at our homes, temples and even
in some places on the road side.
Buddhist pay homage to the Buddha statue, which they keep a separate place at their
house. This is a daily routine of most of Buddhists, as they believe that they should start the day after paying homage to the Buddha.
When Buddhists stand in front of the Buddha statue, ti reminds them about the great qualities of this noble teacher. Although they are made of marble, wood, clay or
granite, we see the great qualities such as Metta, (loving kindness} Muditha (sympathetic joy} and Karuna {compassion} from the face of that non-living form.
This is why people like to have a Buddha statue at their homes and work places.
Huge Buddha statue are found in the temple. Many people go to the temple on Poya
days and on special days to pay homage to the Buddha. As such, temples need bigger statues than what we have at our homes.
Before we pay homage to the Buddha, better we look at the structure to find and
understand the great qualities. Say, "We love you lord and want to be like you ”
Daily try to cultivate good habits and develop Metta, Muditha and Karuna.
“The Buddha statue helps us to remind His great qualities"
“The Buddhism is the religious of the freedom"

{BY THE BUDDHIST WAY OF LIFE}

. Discourse on Loving-kindness (Karaniya Metta Sutta ) In English.

While the Buddha was staying at Savatthi, a band of monks, having received subjects of meditation from the master, proceeded to a forest to spend the rainy season (vassana).

While the Buddha was staying at Savatthi, a band of monks, having received subjects of meditation from the master, proceeded to a forest to spend the rainy season (vassana). The tree deities inhabiting this forest were worried by their arrival, as they had to descend from tree abodes and dwell on the ground. They hoped, however, the monks would leave soon; but finding that the monks would stay the vassana period of three months, harassed them in diverse ways, during the night with the intention of scaring them away.

Living under such conditions being impossible, the monks went to the Master and informed him of their difficulties. Thereon the Buddha instructed them in the Metta sutta and advised their return equipped with this sutta for their protection.

The monks went back to the forest, and practicing the instruction conveyed, permeated the whole atmosphere with their radiant thoughts of metta or loving-kindness. The deities so affected by this power of love, henceforth allowed them to meditate in peace.

The discourse gets divided into two parts. The first detailing the standard of moral conduct required by one who wishes to attain Purity and Peace, and the second the method of practice of metta. [2]

1. "He who is skilled in (working out his own) well being, and who wishes to attain that state of Calm (Nibbana) should act thus: he should be dexterous, upright, exceedingly upright, obedient, gentle, and humble.

2. "Contented, easily supportable, with but few responsibilities, of simple livelihood, controlled in the senses, prudent, courteous, and not hanker after association with families.

3. "Let him not perform the slightest wrong for which wise men may rebuke him. (Let him think:) 'May all beings be happy and safe. May they have happy minds.'

4.& 5. "Whatever living beings there may be — feeble or strong (or the seekers and the attained) long, stout, or of medium size, short, small, large, those seen or those unseen, those dwelling far or near, those who are born as well as those yet to be born — may all beings have happy minds.

6. "Let him not deceive another nor despise anyone anywhere. In anger or ill will let him not wish another ill.

7. "Just as a mother would protect her only child with her life even so let one cultivate a boundless love towards all beings.

8. "Let him radiate boundless love towards the entire world — above, below, and across — unhindered, without ill will, without enmity.

9. "Standing, walking, sitting or reclining, as long as he is awake, let him develop this mindfulness. This, they say, is 'Noble Living' here.

10. "Not falling into wrong views — being virtuous, endowed with insight, lust in the senses discarded — verily never again will he return to conceive in a womb."

The fist step is difficult for everyone....!

The first day of a retreat may seem difficult
because concentration is not well develop.
To climb a mountain you need certain Physical strength .
If you are not yet strong in the beginning
you will feel tired and uncomfortable
But as the body gets stronger
climbing become easier.
It is the same in meditation .
As concentration is developed , it becomes
less difficult to stay in the moment...

Do you know what these words mean ?

1. Buddha (Enlightenment ): Awakened; Siddhattha Gotama became awakened to the reality of life and was from then on know as the Buddha.
2. Dhamma; This word is used for many things - the teaching, all material objects, thoughts, feelings, the law of how cosmos works from a meditator's point of view.
3. Sangha: Community or assembly; Bhikhu-sangha: Community of monks.
4. Bhikkhu( Monks): Theravada Bhddhist monk who lives a life of renunciation and
simplicity as an alms medicine according to 227 rules of the order.
  5. Nun: In the East technically still an anagarika( not fully ordained and wearing
the withe of layperson), but in reality living as do the monks( Bhikkhu).
There is a British order of nuns who have begun to cross the divide by wearing brown and taking on more precepts.
  6. Deva (God): Celestial or heavenly being: a being who lives in a heavenly realm,
is generally invisible, but who is still subject to birth, ageing, death, the cycle of existence, and to conditions of unsatisfactoriness.
  7. Theravada Buddhism: The way of the arhats which holds that a person seeking Nirvana as an end to worldly miseries can achieve it only on his own merit.
  8. Mahayana Buddhism: The great Vehicle or Buddhist sect founded on the premise that all
men are capable of attaining Buddhahood; Northern Buddhism; Sanskrit Buddhism.
  9. Dukkha: Souring,; suffering in samsara,unsatisfactoriness, anguish,anxiety, fear,
sorrow, grief,At glance this seems a very negative thing and the Buddha's first
noble truth that all life is Dukkha is often taken a negative statement, but from the Buddhist perspective it is simply the realization of the way things are
under certain circumstances.
  10. Samsara: The world of unsatisfactoriness and suffering, the world of greed ,hatred and delusion ; the round of rebirth into the realms of existence .
11.  Kamma: Action by body, speech and mind, and the ripening of those action into
various states of being ; good action leading to good result; bad action leading to
bad result-in this life, in the next birth, or in the late births.

Wisdom:

When I was married 25 years, I took a look at my wife one day and
said, 'honey, 25 years ago we had a cheap apartment, a cheap car,
slept on a sofa bed and watched 10-inch black and white TV, but I
got to sleep every night with a hot 25-year-old blonde.'
Now we have a $500,000 home, a $45,000 car, nice big bed and plasma
screen TV, but I'm sleeping with a 50-year-old woman. It seems to
me that you are not holding up your side of things.'
My wife is a very reasonable woman. She told me to go out & find a
hot 25-year-old blonde, and she would make sure that I would once
again be living in a cheap apartment, driving a cheap car, sleeping
on a sofa bed and watching a 10-inch black and white TV.
Aren't older women great? They really know how to solve your
mid-life crisis!

Myanmar (Burma) Water Festival (Thingyan)

Burma or Myanmar to give the country its official title celebrates the
Myanmar New Year in the second week of April each year. The festival
is called Thingyan but has become more widely known as the Water
Festival. It is similar to the Thai New Year celebrations known as
Songkran that occur during the same period. Visit either country
during this time and you are certain to get wet!

Originally, water was gently sprinkled on people using twigs as a
blessing in the belief that the past year's sins would be washed away
and the mind and spirit would be purified in readiness for the coming
year. This 500 year old festival which lasts for the 3 days
immediately before the New Year has these days turned into a 3 day
party where the primary objective seems to be to get as wet as
possible, as often as possible. The whole country is on holiday for 3
days and almost no-one except the elderly are spared a drenching
during this time. Indeed, the very good natured Burmese seem to be at
great pains to ensure that any visiting tourist becomes absolutely
free of all sins and leaves with a mind and spirit as pure as driven
snow. Walk through Yangon (Rangoon) during the festival and no matter
how you try to avoid getting wet you will eventually be doused by a
beaming local leaving you no choice but to literally grin and bear it.
Fortunately, this festival occurs at the hottest time of the year when
the temperature reaches 40 degrees so a soaking can actually be quite
welcome and, in any case, it doesn?t take too long to dry. Of course
you can guarantee that you are no sooner dry before becoming drenched
yet again.

Local organizations, government departments and student associations
sponsor what are called 'pandals'. These are temporary raised stages
erected on main roads particularly in places where there happens to be
a lake by the side of the road that offers a plentiful supply of
water. These 'pandals' are usually furnished with high powered water
jets with which the occupants proceed to hose anyone and anything that
passes by. The Burmese pile themselves into jeeps, pick up trucks and
cars, some even with the doors missing, packing as many people into
and onto a vehicle as possible. They then tour the city 'visiting'
each pandal with the apparent intention of just getting absolutely
soaked. They even queue very patiently at each 'pandal', waiting their
turn to be inundated with water. The whole experience is accompanied
by loud music and dancing and the overwhelming feeling of the festival
is that everyone is just having a thoroughly good time. It seems as
though not only the sins of the past year are washed away but also all
the problems and worries of everyday life too.

As well as the water fun, there is also traditional singing and
dancing in the evenings featuring the traditional Thingyan dance. Most
Burmese are Theravada Buddhist and the religious traditions of washing
the elderly?s hair and and letting loose fish and cattle on the third
day of the festival are still religiously followed.

Visit the Myanmar Water Festival or it's counterpart in Thailand and
enjoy but be warned - you will get extremely wet but you will also
have an awful lot of fun

Past and future lives..

Birth and death of a self is taught to be delusion ,but birth and death of form
,feeling ,perception, mental activities, and consciousness , are to be recognized
as an ongoing process . The Buddha freely talks about pass and future lives in the sense.
Unimaginable, monk, is beginning to the round of births.
It is not easy to find a being who has not formerly been one's mother,father, brother, sister,son, daughter, during this long, long time'
Which do you think is more - the flood of tears , which weeping and wailing,
you have shed upon this long way, hurrying and hastening through this round of this rebirths, united with the undesired.
separated from the desired-this, or the waters of the four oceans?
long have you suffered the death of father and mother,of son and daughters.
And while you were suffering, you indeed shed more tears upon this long way
than there is water in the four oceans.
long have you undergone suffering, undergone torment, undergone misfortune,
and filled the graveyards full-truly,long enough to be dissatisfied with all the forms of existence, long enough to turn away and free yourselves
from them all.
