SOS What a 2013 Year

The year of 2013 is like a roller coaster ride, full of hopes and full of uncertainties.  There is no rooms for regrets tough, even though it is not one of my better years.  But, it could be worst.  Never, ever, regrets on what you could have done or you should not have done.  Concentrate on the things you have done, and reflect on them, look within to improve your moral character.  Perhaps one may ask, what exactly is moral character.

It is actually a very broad terms.  Depends from which prospective of your view.  Confucious is one of the few great teacher of ancient China.  He taught man and woman how to live with high moral character and live in harmony.  However, towards his seventies, he regretted he did not follow the spiritual path much earlier.

Moral character or mind and heart nature, if view from the perspective of Confucious, it mainly describe how to be a good human being, teaching us all the great principles of being a good human being.  However, it does not help us to view it from the perspective from the spiritual side, although he was much more spiritual towards his seventies.  

Hence, should we look at moral character from a higher level, i.e. from the perspective of spirituality, the standards or principles held by a genuine spiritual practitioners are much higher than how to be a good human being.  These higher principles actually explain from the perspective from the higher levels but yet to be abide by the practitioners at the lower level of secular society.  One may think, would it be hard.  Yes, in terms of how ordinary people look at it because they do not understand how the reasons behind the higher principles.  In order to understand them, one has to read Zhuan Falun in order to understand how the said principles comes about.

In Buddhism, Sakyamuni in his Dharma, talk about many precepts the disciples must follow, however, he did not explain the original course of the principles.  Until we know the actual reasons behind the precepts, it is rather hard to cultivate without knowing the higher principles or the inner meanings behind those principles.  These will involve the enlightenment of the disciples.  However, in Zhuan Falun, it explain clearly all the rational behind the high level principles, so we could make the right choice in our lives.

There was an old sayings, if you can master others, you are a good leader, if you could master yourself, you are your master of yourself.

SOS Tolerance

What is tolerance?

Normally we tolerate with anger or grieve or hatred.  Especially from the conflict whether in work or at home.  Is it good or not good?  Of course it is not good.  So what is the solution? Fight it off?

Nope, let it go with kindness.  That's all.
