Venerable Master Hsing Yun introduced the “Dharma Words” as a way to share the Buddha’s teachings and inspirations with devotees and visitors. The “Dharma Words” differ from fortune telling in that they do not determine the fate of a person. Their purpose is to explain the Buddhist concept of karma – performing good deeds will bring good merit while wrong doings will bring bad karma.
