Sometimes, our life can be very challenging, especially when you go through ups and down and you may feel that you have reached the end of the world? You start to wonder what happen to all my prayers and Buddha’s blessing! You start questioning your own belief and sometimes could be very painful too. In addition, when we buy the package of life, it is not just about what I want but what you are offered! It is true that when we are a little happy, we tend to forget the bigger picture of our life. Therefore, to know how we are and what the purpose of life is, little pain may open us to the larger picture of our well being! Moreover, what I have learned from my journey is that it is all momentary and if you can hold longer you will see better a part of your life! Whatever that comes in your way just accept it happily, because at the end of the day you may have the last laugh!
Life is beautiful, yet challenging and if we don’t make effort in life, nothing comes easy. Success or failure is not made in Heaven but it is our perseverance and determination that shape our future. Success is wonderful; however, we may miss better opportunity because we take everything for granted. Failure may sound painful, but better future may lay ahead. Be present throughout your journey, because life may throw some surprises. Whatever that comes in your way, just feel it and move on because the rest of your journey may be just driving on an empty express way!
When someone makes you angry, do not blame the person because the main culprit is the anger residing within our mind continuum and not that someone whom you perceived to be the cause of your anger!
Impermanence is a part of everyone’s life, and it is not about I like or dislike but accept gracefully from one’s heart!
Youth or old age is not a trade mark, but it is simply nature’s way of giving and taking.
Just hoping for success from Buddha is like fishing from an empty river bed. However, success does come from proper guidance of Buddha and through your perseverance and determination.
True Democratic system is not just getting your own right but also to respect others’ right.
Other than such system, anything else is just another form of selfishness.
Love has three levels:
First grade, Buddha’s love
Second grade, love between parents and children
Final grade, seasonal lovers’ love.
