8. Preface vii
100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons and 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 2
were published for free distribution in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The feedbacks for these
2 Full Color books were very encouraging and this motivated me to come out with the third

Posts of LIFE Lessons 4 is now also out as a free eBook.
As for the first three books, 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 4 has the following
objectives:
(i) To help convey very important Dhamma / LIFE Lessons teachings
(ii) To provide useful material for the spiritual practitioner to reflect and contemplate upon
in his quest for spiritual growth
(iii) To help one grow in loving-kindness, compassion, wisdom and peace.
Like the first three volumes, 100 Instagram Posts of LIFE Lessons 4 makes use of color
pictures and images in digital form to capture the reader’s attention and render the Life
Lessons / Dhamma teachings more readable and easier to remember and digest.
Remembering and putting them into practice is very important for Dhamma growth.
The contents of this book were actually a selection from my more than 500 Instagram
posts in my Instagram Website. Some editing and adjustments were done to the posts.
I have tried to put across in this Instagram book the most important Dhamma teachings of
the Buddha to reflect upon and practice again and again to effect a Dhamma realization.
May all beings strive in the Dhamma to conquer the mental defilements and end Dukkha.
