Value of Dharma

               

         

    People have been always dedicated their lives, time and money to win the physical world in significant ways. It is shocking that people who lived in the past had the courage to establish a civilization in a desert like Las Vegas that temperature reaches unbearable limits in some months. People have not only dedicated their lives but also sacrificed as we come to know when the Hoover Dam was built many years ago having equipped with limited technology unlike today.

    It is clear that will of the people whom once lived in Las Vegas won the physical world and left the current generation with habitat as well as knowledge of technology to survive while maintaining the victory. Winning the physical world is also part of winning extreme weather that cause trouble for people in Las Vegas. Having utilities such as electricity and gas energizes the community console thousands of people in Las Vegas. 

   However; we are seeing that there are lot of people in Las Vegas who are in a quest of winning the human world. They have realized that the only way to win the human world is by purifying the mind. Purifying the mind involves practice of Dharma. Among many meanings, one meaning of Dharma is teaching that helps to win the human world. This Dharma can be practiced by anybody regardless of any religion or any denomination. This Dharma helps to understand within self, practice by self, realize within self, and see the results within self. This is why Dharma is valuable. 

   Existence of Nevada Buddhist Temple and devotional monks in the temple have been guiding people in Las Vegas for years regardless of their nationality, denomination, and religion to win the human world. We are humble to exist in a place like Las Vegas to guide people for the well being, purify the mind by the power of Dharma to achieve their ultimate goal of winning the human world by ceasing mental and/or physical suffering in cycle of life, dissatisfaction, and unhappiness.
