I just long for a world in which ordinary things are done in an ordinary way !

“The result is the most important thing.”

[Lord Aizen @Regal_Aizen]

Desire is not the root cause of suffering !
It is Avijja(Ignorance), which is the root cause of Dukkha(Suffering), Desire itself manifests out of ignorance.

The world is dominated by the thoughts where everything is relative, conditional, dependent, subject to birth & death, therefore impermanent. To escape this Sàmsára one needs to avoid extremes of all kinds in one's life !!

Just as the lotus blooms from the muddy water, wisdom grows from the struggle !
On this sacred day of Vesak, we bow to the light of the Buddha, the path of the Dhamma, and the harmony of the Sangha. May all beings be happy, safe & they find peace.
Sādhu, sādhu, sādhu. 🙏🪷
#Vesak

[Lord Aizen @Regal_Aizen]

Because the world offers gratification, beings become attached & enamored with it. Because it also contains danger & suffering, they grow disillusioned when they see its true nature. And Because there is an escape, beings can escape from sàmsára.

[Lord Aizen @Regal_Aizen]

It is a world where people aspire to live in harmony, yet their untamed emotions and ignorance repeatedly drive them against their better judgment that leads to conflicts that escalate into violence, wars & widespread devastation; such is the nature of samsara !

"kamma" literally means action, but technically it refers to volitional action. As the Buddha says: "It is volition (cetana) that is kamma; for having willed (cetayitva), one acts by body, speech & mind." Kamma thus denotes deeds that originate from volition.

The 8 fold path are not steps to be followed in sequence. They are more appropriately described as components & all 8 factors should be present simultaneously, each making its own contribution, like 8 interwoven strands of a wire that give the cable maximum strength.

He taught us to fight evil by goodness & hatred by love and to not be provoked by slander and abuse. He always maintained his poise and calm under difficult circumstances and tackled his opponents with wit and presence of mind. Anuttara Samyak Sambodhi 🪷 !

Two things partake in true knowledge i.e. Serenity & insight.
"When serenity is developed, what benefit does one experience ? The mind is developed. When the mind is developed, what benefit does one experience ? All lust is abandoned."

Stream-enterer, the one practicing for the realization of it; Once-returner, the one practicing for the realization of it; Nonreturner, the one practicing for the realization of it; Arahant, the one practicing for it. These 8 are worthy of Gifts and Merits !

Delivered, he is the best of those who deliver.

The quote ‘Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth’ is often falsely attributed to the Buddha.
