When you protect yourself you protect others.


      People must learn to cure themselves from false views and the Universal madness at the individual level, before there can be peace ad harmony in the family and society and sanity globally. It is at the individual level that e have to watch our minds with awareness, and by so doing protect ourselves and others at the same time. The Dhammapada says:
      if you hold yourself dear, watch yourself well. The need to watch ourselves well by practicing mindfulness is illustrated by an analogy given by the Buddha, of the acrobat and a boy. Once there was an acrobat who performed dangerous acts with his pupil. A slip on either his part or by his pupil could bring injury. In one of his acts, he climbed his bamboo pole and told his pupil: No boy, climb the pole and stand on my shoulders. After the boy had done that, the master said “no boy, protect me and I will protect you, by looking after each other,we will show our tricks, earn money and come down safe from the pole. The pupil though for a moment and then replied: No master, that won't do. Why don't you protect yourself and I will protect myself. Thus self-protected and self-guarded we will show our tricks, earn money, and come down safe from the pole. This is the method. According to the Buddha just as the pupil had said to his master. “I will protect myself,” so should we practice mindfulness to protect ourselves. This practice ill also protect others. By practicing oneself, one protects others, by practicing others, one protects oneself. And he does this by repeated practice, development and frequent occupation with tolerance, harmlessness, loving-kindness and compassion. Therefore , by practicing these virtues, which can only be cultivated with mindfulness, one brings protection and security to others.
      We must not misunderstand by thinking that the act of serving oneself is egoism and selfishness. By serving oneself, we do not mean giving vent to our greed, since this is not,in the truest sense, service to oneself. Serving oneself means that one should practice self-discipline, moral and mental training. While practicing these qualities, one is doing the highest serving to other \s. in addition, ho can one be of real serving to others if one is morally and mentally weak?
      We serve ourselves and others by avoiding evil, doing good, and purifying our mind. This is the crux of what all Buddhas teach. To avoid evil is to refrain form doing acts which are motivated from unwholesome mental roots, that is greed, hatred and delusion. On the other hand, we constantly strive with right effort to act our of compassion and wisdom. This is what is meant by doing good. E purify our minds by reducing and finally eradicating unwholesome thoughts in the mind. In addition, we extend our thoughts of universal love and kindness to all beings without discrimination. E radiate goodwill to all beings and wish that they are well and happy,free from harm and danger and free from pain and suffering.
May you all be well and happy!
May you and all your problems be ended!
                                                             From you &your problems.

How to face our problems

     Those who cannot cope with their problems create more worries. When misunderstanding occurs in their family they make life more miserable. Sometime violence, bloodshed and suicide can also take place, so where is the satisfaction in a worldly life? Today people need more income not only for their daily living such as to provide their food, clothing, medicine, shelter and to fulfill their obligations but also they have organized a way of life such that their sensual indulgence has increased. It has become a sort of competition.
      People concentrate more on pleasure rather than continue their duties and responsibilities. Some people continue to feed their dissatisfaction by worrying about their future although they have more than enough at the moment. They worry about their sickness, old age, death and also about heaven and hell in the next birth.
Everyday they experience unsatisfactoriness in their life. They run here and there searching for a remedy to end their problems throughout their life. They continue this search for peace and happiness until they die but they never find the real solution. When they feel that they are getting old they worry, they worry when they cannot get what they want, they worry when they lose their things or person they love. This leads to frustration and mental agony and may even later lead to mental derangement. We do not know the real nature of our existence but try to maintain life without experiencing any disturbances and changes.
      Life is changing, it is a bundle of elements and energies which are always changing. As a result no situation will ever be according to our expectation and we feel life does not work in our favor. When the experience uneasiness, sickness, pain and many other problems. When mental energy is disturbed we experience mental problems. These mental problems if left unchecked over time manifest themselves as physical problems because our organs and glands also change their normal functioning and affect the blood circulation, heartbeat and brain cells.
      Today many people lead and artificial life not knowing its danger. Many of their problems are created by themselves due to their ignorance and crazy desire for too much pleasure. Many of our problems and burdens come after middle age. To understand how our problems increase with age, let us assume there is a pit about hundred feet deep with burning charcoal at the bottom. If we put a ladder and ask some people to go down one by one, those who star to go down first will not complain about the heat until they descend to a depth of 40 to 50 feet, after that they feel a certain amount of heat. When they go further down to 70 to 80 feet and reach nearer the burning charcoal they experience the sensation of burning. They try to warn those coming after them about the danger below, but no one listens. In the same manner young people say there is nothing wrong with them and they do not experience suffering. It is as we grow older and have more understanding of old age, disease and impending death that we “begin to feel the heat”.
     The Buddha say life is suffering and this is a good example for young people to understand the nature of existence. Older people also have some of this wisdom and if young people listen to them they will be able to avoid many mistakes. Here is another example for you to understand why we should listen to our elders. A flock of fishes see an unusual small obstruction in the water, it is really a trap put up by the fishermen to catch the fish. Some young fish want to go inside the obstruction and explore but the elderly fish advise them not to do that because it could be a dangerous trap. They young fish ask, how do we know whether it is dangerous or not? We can only know that it is if we go in and investigate. So some of them enter and are caught in the net.
      This simple example tells us that it is not necessary to have personal experience in certain things to understand whether they are good or bad. We must be prepared to accept the advice given by wise people like the Buddha who know infinitely more than we do. Therefore we should not think that we know everything and that no one can teach us about life and how to avoid its problems. When our elder and parents advise us not to do certain things, we have to listen to them, because their experience is more advanced than our theoretical knowledge regarding our worldly life. That is why parents always advise their children to do certain things and not to do other things.
      Beware of little mistake: “a small leak will sink a great ship”.when young people neglect the advise given by the elders, they do many things according to their own way of thinking. One day, the Buddha and his disciples went to a village. Some people in that village were angry with the Buddha. When they started to scold the Buddha, the disciple suggested that they go to another village to avoid the abuse. The Buddha asked, “what guarantee is there that there won't be any disturbance in that new place? Then the Buddha said “Running away is not the solution to overcome the disturbances. If we have no guilty feeling in our mind, scolding will never reach us. Therefore we must be patient and allow them to scold until they themselves get fed up. When those people who scolded the Buddha came to know that there was no reaction from the Buddha and the disciples, they stopped their abuse after few days.
      For instance having seen or having hear something that happens, some people take it so seriously as if it is a problem. Some other do not mind it and ignore it. Some other create undue fear and worry around it. Some other take it to mind and think that it is a good lesson to learn from. Other dismiss it as a joke. Some pass remarks and condemn it.
      Here you can understand how the same incident is viewed in different ways by people according to their own mentality. Problems are created by our mind. If we have developed our mind to maintain patience, tolerance and understanding , we will be able not to take any incident seriously to create more problems. Our problems are of our own creation, it is not the work of others.

      When I read this topic during confuse my mind, it is getting solution how shall I control my mind and how shall I think and consider. It is my the best guider. That is why, I share my reader.

Anything is Possible



Being spoken by my pinions as the title of “Anything is Possible”, I mention that it is possible, it will be OK. Everybody else does too. Nowadays, that word is using any reason. When we start something, I never do this job, it is my first time. I am really afraid to nothing happened. We give as the same reason. At the moment, one of partner embarrassed to him. I am the same. I am also worries first foot. However, you can consider that nobody has perfect. The work will teach you please don't worry about it. We are beside you. If you need something to help you, we will give you some instruction. If you are trying hard ,anything is possible! Let's we thought of right views, It is possible. However, we should do our aim in life.
According to the Buddhism point of view, let me say freely, it become very different position between speaking and doing. Because of fate. We are very superstition our fate. If we do something in the present time, we believe that it is depend on our fortune. We tell our fortune by looking at the lines on our hand. What do they mean their fate? I think that they can't understand their fate and what is the fate? We should consider deeply the meaning of fate. Most of the writer or scholar definition that fate means working or doing, it is necessary to solution about fate.
A person who believes without thinking is started to find our problem. I am also doing know what is the right attitude for fate. Some believe that fate mean it is without doing, leading to the meaning of fortune. In fact, It is involved our mind. We create our mind and future. It is not involved the fate. The fate is no our brave. Some believe that fate is our benefit. Fate creates everything so that we should before we do anything. Some teenager give reason when they meet with their mate, I can't decide guy. While of my fortune. It is very dangerous obsession. Whatever they do something; they can't believe themselves Because of fate.
          As a matter of fact, we have ability when we were born. Is the call our fate? How do you think or solve when someone told you connect with the fate? Please don't compare with what the Buddha taught. I am just thinking freely. It is all my thinking. It is no connect with the Buddha scripture and other bible.
