- Do you want to incorporate a morning Buddhist practice? It is not as hard or complicated as it may appear. In-fact, Buddhists around the world start their day with a devotional morning practice that can take a minute or two, or go as long as they desire. In this video, I'll take you through a few parts of a morning practice you can incorporate. While there can be modifications you can incorporate, this structure will give you a solid footing. Check out my other videos on Buddhist practice if you need ideas!

Wonderful - thank you Alan. this is pretty much my routine, apart from I also recite the five precepts after the three refuges as a reminder to myself for how I will conduct myself that day.
Nice, good to have spiritual routine 👌
A useful video, thank you. I was trying to just sit for 30 mins every day before work, but it wasn't always feasible to do so. So I started to light a candle, do some prostrations and 5 mins of chanting as a minimum every morning as I know I always have time for it. If I have time to sit as well, then that's a bonus. If not, I can make time later.
Wonderful! Yes, most Buddhists around the world do not actually do sitting meditation (although that's great if you can find the time to do it). Mostly it's about what you just described among other things. Varies with tradition.
Thank you, namaste🙏
Thank you, brother
Routine works mean discipline..Discipline or Sila leads to samadi/calm mind or samatha..Samadi leads to /panya/wisdom.!
Only 15-30 minutes in the every morning can help starting day's life with effective mind and energetic enthusiasm.
Thanks Alan this is helpful and a great guide. I really appreciate your lessons.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you
Thanks so much for this. I am still observing Buddhism, considering becoming a Buddhist. As a former Christian, this aspect however feels as though it borders on idol worship (despite Buddha not being a god and yet we still offer the things. I know it's for respect. Does that mean that his spirit is all around us?).... do you have any advice on how to wrap my mind around this and how to detangle myself from the Christian ideas?
Thanks for all your videos. I love learning from them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Both Jesus and Buddha are beneficial to mankind.
We can surely learn from wise and kind teachers!
Is there a way i can use something else to represent the Buddha? I live in a Christian house and this would not accepted in my home. 😔
Good question. The Buddha may be in your mind if needed or perhaps a digital image. A statue is not necessary. The intentions and actions we take are what’s important.
What is the purpous of this? (Im not trying to be rude im just curious)
Buddhists practice the religion to do what our teacher, the Buddha, taught. Like any religion there is a way we practice every day
