To live peacefully
"If we want to live in this
world peacefully and happily, we should allow others also to live peacefully
and happily, so that we can make this world something which is worthy of
life." Unless and until we adjust ourself to live according to these noble
principles, we cannot expect happiness and peace in this world. We cannot
expect this happiness and peace from heaven simply by praying. If we act
according to moral principles by upholding human dignity, we can create our own
heaven right here in this world. We can also create the hell-fire on this earth
itself if we abuse valuable human life. By not knowing how to live according to
this universal cosmic law, we often stumble. If each man tries to lead a
harmless and respectable life, people can enjoy real heavenly bliss better than
the kind that some people hope to gain after death.
It is superfluous to create a heaven
elsewhere to reward virtue, or a hell to punish vice; virtue and evil have
inevitable reactions in this world itself regardless of religious faith. In
fact, Compassion and Loving-kindness for all creatures is the onlý way to
generate peace and happiness in our life as well as in the society. By helping
others morally, we help ourself and by helping ourself morally, we help
others...."
May the Noble Triple Gems the Buddha,
Dhamma and Saṅgha bless you, all other family members, dhamma friends and every
being to have good health, peace, ease, comfort, success and happiness by being
free from all viruses, diseases, sicknesses, problems, worries, difficulties
and sufferings....! I'm sharing lot of merits and mettā to all of you. May
every heart be filled with joy, compassion, happiness and success. May the
happiness be set up at every corners of the world.....!
