Buddhist Outlook on Dalily Life

There are many levels of understanding the Buddha's teachings. The people who present the eggs to the statue of the Buddha express their confidence in him. This is a wholesome act which will bear its fruit accordingly. However, the people who present the eggs may not realise that it is their respect to the Buddha, which will bring them a good result, and not the eggs presented to him. They may not clearly see which cause will bring them, which result. They would receive greater benefit from their act of paying respect to the Buddha if this were done in a more meaningful way. They could, for example, pay respect to the Buddha in abstaining from ill deeds. in serving other people, in learning more about the teachings of the Buddha and in helping other people to understand the teachings as well.
