Buddhist teachings are simply methods for becoming a Buddha. The real purpose of the Buddha appearing in this world is to teach people to enter the Buddha-way from human lives as once said by Venerable Master Taixu.


Hence, beginners should practise both the ten good deeds (without abandoning the worldly affairs of daily life) and following the right deeds of the Human Vehicle to enter the Buddha Vehicle instead of emphasising practices of renunciation. This course contains methods for becoming a Buddha and reveals the entire sequence of the Buddha-way, leading one to the supreme Buddha realm.
