Family is defined as a group of persons united by the ties of marriage, blood, or adoption, constituting a single household and interacting with each other in their respective social positions, usually those of spouses, parents, children, and siblings [Source:The Britannica Online Encyclopædia ]
By referring to the teachings of the Buddha, in “A Buddhist Reflects on the Family”, Mr. Vijaya expounded the principles that Buddhists shall embrace in order to establish and develop a blissful family.
In this booklet, there are discussions on the following topics :
- The pursuit of happiness
- Monasticism & family life
- Advice for householders
- Duties and obligations
- The meaning of love
- The consequences of ingratitude
- Respect for elders
Though we may know that it is important to care for our family well-being but how many of us know the way to achieve this well-being? Have we experience this - gaining great strength and happiness by being part of a well-functioning family?
We encourage you pick up this handy booklet and discover for yourself the practical way to be blessed with domestic bliss.
