Practising Buddhists
However, even in such places, the majority of Buddhists do not rightly understand the true Dhamma.
Many have a fatalistic view of kamma, and pray to the
Buddha or offer alms, hoping for success in their worldly
life. Lay people tend to think that only monks can meditate and realise nibbna. They try to make merit, but
have only feeble aspirations to realise nibbna in some
future existence. For the present existence, they want to
enjoy sensual pleasures, just like the ignorant masses who
have no knowledge of Buddhism.
