Silently recite Buddha’s name

1/15/2015

 
Question:

Ven. Master!

I am a student. I silently recite the Buddha’s name while I walk to school. At home, I would also silently recite his name while doing the household chores. ​

At night I would then silently dedicate the merit and virtue as [the typical dedication of merit and virtue verse].

Is that correct?

Disappointed with Life

1/7/2015

 
Question:

Emituofo:

I a 25-year old who feels rather lost. In the past, I followed my older sister to the temple to eat vegetarian meals and listen to the Dharma lectures.

I would like to leave the home life and take refuge under a master in order to learn the proper principles and develop skills to help others. I feel abandoned because my mother has her own separate family as does my father. I feel like an outcast living on the fringe of society.

Could you please tell me which temple I should go to practice and learn?
