SOS Don't read, you will never understand

Don't read, it comes from my mind, only I can understand this.

Whenever there is tribulations in your life, think rationally

1. with righteous thoughts and righteous actions
2. look within for attachments and let them go
3. react calmly and with kindness
4. remain unwaver and confident

Why is it so important we do it the way suggested above, be reminded that

1. it is a great opportunity to cultivate yourself
2. allow you to find your attachments 
3. cherish it, because it is the Great Law 
4. cherish it with your life because it only happen once in this lifetime

How do we do that?

1. Read the Fa more
2. Read clearwisdom and compare yourself and eliminate the attachments 
3. What would a "dxxxxx" do if faced with the problem

SOS What really ordinary people want?

What really ordinary people want?  Some search for whole life and still wondering what is the purpose of life.  I believe I can sum up some of the purpose of what an Ordinary People want:

1. to be renowned (well respected and acclaimed);
2. to be comfortable in life (financially free);
3. to have a happy life (harmonious family);
4. to attain personal interest (what they want out of life).

However, more than 90% will tell you they haven't achieve that.  Why?  Because, it is a nature of a human being to want more?  That is, they always want more of what they don't have and forget about the abundant that they have.

In short, they are forever in pursuit of something physical or emotional.  This pursuit never cease until their last breath.  In short, basically what they are after is material and emotional gains, which we know, cannot be taken with after your last breath.  

So, this will go on and on and on........................

SOS Compassion

Compassion (ci bei) transcend beyond human love or kindness.  When there is emotions, there is attachments.  When there is no emotions, then, it is wu wei, or no attachments.  Above that, it will be compassion.

Kindness or compassion does not comes overnight.

It has to be cultivated.  Example, if today, you are ask to let go all your self-interest, desires and attachments, you may have all the will in the world to say you can do it, but in reality, you cannot.  Why, it has to be cultivated away, or gradually let go.

For example, if you are the impatient type, you cannot become patient overnight. First, you must have the will to change.  Then, during your daily life, you are tested.  Then, if your will power is strong, it is gradually gone.  Then you will become patient gradually.

SOS emotions and self interest

What does ordinary people want in life?

1. to be happy
2. enjoy life
3. comfortable life
4. wonderful family
5. status
6. look up upon

How do they get this?

1. work hard, to earn lots of money to fulfill most of the above
2. struggle, compete, and fight to obtain it

How does one measure success?

1. in this reality world, basically is financial achievement, at least this is what most people perceive it

How does this measurement different from ancient time?

1. Ancient people value virtue more than money.

Wonder how those rich businessman got their financial achievements?

1. Some via corruptions
2. Some via taking advantage of others
3. Some via good ties with government to provide projects
4. But not many via honest mean 

CONCLUSION

Basically ordinary human live to satisfy his or her self interest and emotion.  Which it cannot be brought to the future live after death. Of course, one will ask, is it worth all the struggle and competition to obtain it?  This is debatable.

SOS What is an ideal world?

What is an ideal world?

Perhaps what comes to mind is world peace, no sufferring, everyone is happy and emotionally satisfying.  Well, you can include it in your bucket list.  This environment, although achievable but it is impossible for the time being.  The reason I said that can be evident from what is happening to the world today.  War, crimes, homosexuality, adultery, rapes, kidnaps, prostitution, organ harvesting, torture, hatred, corruption, illnesses, epidemic, human trafficking, gangsters, corrupted authorities, immoral activities, and the list goes on.

So, what is an ideal world?

1. Think of others first before we do anything
2. Look within when problems arise, don't point figures at others
3. Stay calm and kind disregard of all matters positive or negative
4. Have a compassion and tolerance heart, and be truthful
5. Gradually remove all human attachments, desires and demonic thoughts
6. Improve morality
7. Be compassionate to all beings
8. Built virtues
9. Remove envy and jealousy

The nine factors I mentioned sound simple and can be followed, but in reality, it is impossible to achieve.  If it is achievable, why are there so much social illnesses? Poverty? Crime? Corruption etc.

Today's measure of success is really distorted.  It is measure by only one factor, money.  Well, the reason we come to that is because of ourselves, we let money to become the measurement and the only tangible achievement people can see.

I personally worked with billionaires and millionaires (Tan Sri, Dato' Seri, Dato', Datuk etc), and I can only sum up in one word, they are morally corrupted.  What they do is basically cheat from the mass, and enrich themselves.  They have all the justifications and excuses for themselves when they are confronted, saying, the environment is like that, everyone does it, this is a way of life in this society.  It is this way because they let it, it takes two hands to clap. The easy way out is to blame.

Some twisted minds or majority even supported this concept, saying that this is street smart.  In the ancient time, these people is a disgrace to the society, and should be stoned to death.  Because, today the law is on their side, they will use money to buy their way out.  I can safely says that they are just cowards hiding behind laws.

SOS What is Cultivation Practice?

This world is seldom being used.  What is cultivation practice (CP) means? Many do not know it because it is normally used in the context of cultivator, or practitioners in a type of spiritual practice.

In layman term, it means, continuously practice to improve one's moral standard or character.  It sounds intangible but on the same hand it is tangible.  Just like mind and matter is one.  Science has investigated that when a person has a thought, there is energy in the thought, although can't be seen with naked eye like sound. So, a thought (mind), is also a kind of matter, but a microscopic matter.

Buddhism is a spiritual teaching by Gautama Buddha.  Jesus Christ is also a god that teaches a spiritual belief which is also called religion by man.  Laozi teaches the Dao, Jenovah teaches Judaism.  All these spiritual beliefs are actual a type of cultivation practice.  All of these teaching aim to attain godhood or enlightened being.  It is just being called differently.

In China, there are many types of Buddhism (branches) from the Hinayana.  They also has cultivation practice that is taught one to one, i.e. master to disciple type of CP.  Gautama Buddha mentioned that there are 84,000 ways of CP, Laozi said there are 3,600 ways and many mores.  These are based on their understanding.

Falun Dafa is also one of the 84,000 ways of CP.  It is called a type of qigong, which also has the same meaning of CP.  So, Falun Dafa can be defined as the CP of Buddha School QiGong.  Please bear in mind that there is a great difference between Buddha School QiGong and Buddhism.  Buddism is founded by Gautama Buddha 2,500 years ago.  Buddha School QiGong, i.e. Falun Dafa, is founded by Master Li Honzhi, in 1992, who teaches the highest principle of the universe and the most effective way of CP.  It was also spread to humankind in the previous civilisation.

After practicing it for 10 years or more, I find it the best CP available during this period of time.  It provides all the answers about creation of life, humankind, dimensions, and the universe.  Besides improving your health, it also strengthen your mental ability and spiritual principles.

SOS Study = Knowledge = Money (Part 2)

From the earlier blog, you will realise that the measurement of Success is different from ancient time vs today's society.  Due to the materialistic environment, the society is force to conform with this trend without knowing the consequences.

THIRD PERSPECTIVE

How our society evolved over the last few thousand years are principally predetermined, by higher beings. There is an ancient saying, everything goes through Born, Statis, Degenerate, Disintegrate.  This is the same anology of Born, Age, Ill, Death cycle, that is predetermined by outer force, which is not within our control.  So, this concept has been evolved/developed to this stage by gradual believe is science more than the spiritual aspects i.e. from good to bad.  Disregard it is good or bad, we have to conform with this environment in order to survive, i.e. we have to conform with this distorted environment to go back to our origin.


CONCLUSION

Today's morality is far worst than few thousand years ago can be notice from the few following examples:

1. human believe in science more than "spirituality" which they considered as superstitious;
2. social problems that bring about by human themselves is irreparable (crimes, homosexual, promiscuity, corruptions, etc)
3. human behaviours today is inverted (people measure things oppositely)
4. human no longer value virtues or morality
