The Discourse of Lama

Hey kiddo! So, have you ever heard of a lama before? Well, a lama is a really special kind of teacher in a religion called Buddhism. They're really wise and knowledgeable about how we can live good and happy lives.

When we talk about the "discourse" of lama, we mean the things they teach us about Buddhism. It's like the lessons they give us to help us understand the religion better. Sometimes they talk about how to be kind to others, or how to meditate, or how to live a good life in general.

The discourse of lama is really important because it helps people who follow Buddhism understand how to live their lives in a way that is meaningful and helpful to others. It's kind of like a guidebook for how to be a really good person.

Does that make sense, kiddo? Let me know if you have any more questions!
