Dear friends!
Have we ever wondered: Why did humans appear on this earth
!!!
Many people, when they are down on their luck, only at the end of their lives do they suddenly understand
what they live for…!!!
Many people, because of cars, houses, beauty, sex, money, power,
etc., have become slaves to them since when did we sometimes not know
?
1/ Is your spouse yours? No.
- Being a husband and wife for a hundred years is just a dream… Because inherently, according to the laws
of the mind, nothing is permanent, fixed, or permanent…
2/ Are your children yours? No. - Only being filial according to social orientation, understood in other words, is the essence of
community moral activities. If children are filial, their parents will be happy, but on the contrary, if children are
not filial, their parents’ hearts will be filled with sadness and anxiety. Then when their parents die,
everyone will be full, but they won’t be able to bring their parents back. Okay. And parents
cannot bear the burden of their children’s karma.
3/ Is the money yours? No. - Efforts to make money are just taking care of three meals of material things outside the body, life does not
bring it – death does not bring it. Sometimes you have to trade off with many other things,…
4/ Is the house yours? No. - Efforts to have, when leaving will return to nothing.
- After the age of 20, the foreign land and home country are the same, because of adaptation (adulthood
). - After the age of 30, night and day are the same, because it’s okay to lose sleep for a few days
… The energy of youth, full of determination. - After 40 years old, the level of education is the same, high and low, sometimes high education
- There is still more debt. Most people at this age are mature and experienced
- and knowledge to make a living.
- After 50 years old, beauty and ugliness are the same, because at this time signs of aging have
begun to appear (wrinkles, freckles,…). - After 60 years old, the big mandarin and the little mandarin are the same, because the thought of retirement and the level of power are
the same. - After the age of 70, big and small houses are the same, because the degenerative bones and joints cannot
move around the house. - After the age of 80, more money and less money are the same because even if you have it, you can’t spend much.
- After 90 years old, men and women are the same: “don’t ask why my legs are shaking, don’t
ask why my legs are unstable, why and why…”. - After 100 years old, the poor, rich, beautiful, and ugly are all the same, everyone must
return to dust, no one can avoid the operating rules of
this human life: BIRTH – OLD AGE – ILLNESS – DEATH. And no one can escape the law of
operating according to “karma and the results of karma”.
So what do we come to this world for???
According to an unwise concept, we come to look for food and
earthly materials to enjoy. There are so many sweet nectars in this world, such as wealth
, fame, power, love, family… Then they leave, leaving behind those who
come later to regret but not bringing anything with them, while searching for To seek that enjoyment,
we do not hesitate to cause pain to others.
“In this life, is there any fighting or holding on that doesn’t
hurt others? Such a life will create the three poisons of greed, anger
and ignorance?
Arrogant and wrong view of holding is a habit… From an early age, when we were crawling on
the floor, we tried to reach out and grab an object in front of us. If we grabbed it, we
immediately put it in our mouth. As we grow older, we embrace more. It is because of
this mental grasping that makes people psychologically bound to the object
they grasp. - The more you hold on to the “self”, the more disturbing the dependence becomes
- That much… The more the ego is strengthened, the more sorrow and disappointment it becomes
- many injuries.
- Broadly speaking, people with intelligence still use it when they come to this world
- They have the same possessions as those people, but their minds are not attached, no
- attachment, thus freedom from suffering and affliction.
- Or to put it another way: “Intelligent people see property as a means.
- On the contrary, people with poor intelligence see property as the purpose of life.
- Wisdom still sees, knows, hears, still uses but does not cling.
- “Wise people come to this life, they don’t hurt life, they
- Come to learn instead of ruling, to give, to contribute, to beautify instead of greed
- greed and appropriation”.
- Therefore, we hope that our good friends will come and beautify life
- This is filled with joy and happiness. In order to enjoy the benefits within
- present and future lives.
How good!!!
