OUT OF DARKNESS IN TO LIGHT

Unable to see the realities of life and the true nature of world, millions of beings in the world are suffering trapped in this cycle of birth and death, Buddha, the supreme lord has declared. It is strange yet unfortunate that failing to understand things as they are, the people are forever suffering. Lord Buddha has further pointed out that irrespective of where you are born, whether it is in the world of humans or Devas as determined by karama (kamma) the inhabitance is a mask of suffering and there is not even bit of happiness. These people under delusion develop law unworthy and childish relationships with the external world. The Lord Buddha has taught the world for the first time very often we speak with pride that the human beings are relatively mentality superior to other living being but those who have good understanding Buddha Dhamma world realize  that own mental capacity is not of a much higher level. However we are a fortunate species capable of ending the journey through samsara. This emancipation which could be attained by human beings Devas and certain others non-humans is set out only by the supreme of Lord Buddha.

Lord Buddha had the full realization of the impermanent nature of the world and that all things that arise are subjected to the destruction offer a time. The doctrine of the Four Noble Truths, even for ages, is incomprehensive truth by any other person such a Buddha the Four Noble Truths even for age purification of beings for the eternal happiness, cessation of suffering and attainment of Nibbana.

It can be observed that the human being in today world use their intelligence for their own destruction instead of their own good. Most people take in glowing terms about the advances made in technology but its pity that these people do not realize that this source in technological advancement is a direct cause for the total elimination of life on earth. Right thinking word and action are foreign to the world today. They have failed to who failed to understand the reality of the world, fall down into samsara in without even of this down fall. In one alone is responsible for derogating ultimate truths expounded by The Lord Buddha. The Lord Buddha as a Bodhisattva has sacrificed many life-times spent all his efforts to show the ultimate truth and way out of suffering for all man- kind. It is unfortunate that we condemn his pure words of wisdom and betray to the Buddha or is it to haziness and indifference? That we pay less attention on this worthy Dhamma? There are matters worthy of thinking over deeply nobody learn to understand that the world is increasing in false beliefs and running behind unknown mythical powers. This has leads to destruction of humans.

What is this world or in other words what is life? The life that people grasps tightly with greed. If the truth about life is fully understood one can find a way out of destruction. He will be free from suffering. As long as a person sees the conventional Truths as an absolute reality and as long as a person sees life as an absolute reality. One can be said treading on blindly.

The only way for a person who is engaged in darkness of ignorance to attain correct path of life is to understand Buddha’s word and find the truths within him. The Buddha has repeatedly pointed out that everything is nearly an illusion and a high degree of wisdom would be necessary to see the Truth.

Realize from darkness in to realize from within what reality the life is declared Lord Buddha. The Lord has repeatedly Nobody makes any attempt to grasp the Truth. The failure to the things with wisdom makes them drifting about the samsara sharing after unworthy object. It is imperative to be clean above what should be done and that time has come for such an understanding. While living a fruitful life It is necessary to go beyond using once’ wisdom in search of the reality this should be well managed in order that the momentary gain with not to be forfeited. This is the right time to get oneself released from all bonds and attain beautiful state of Nibbana without being born to the world of dukka.

The arising of Buddha is the ultimate Happiness ‘‘Sukho buddhanam uppado”

Since the conventional world that is untrue is our own creation we must seek the guidance of Buddha Dhama, if absolute truth is to be realized and achieve happiness by release from the world of illusion, there is no order protection we must try to understand the real nature of the world. That is ever changing and dying the power of the mind must be developed knowing that there is nothing permanent or satisfactory.   All efforts should be directed towards freeing oneself from the false idea of self-individual and material realizing on impermanence unsatisfactory nature and the issues of self kamma.

We see the world from a universal angel we do not see that suffering originates out of ignorance of this fact of existing or non- existing. This is ignorance avijjà or Moha and false view, the failure to see things as they really are. In the state ignorance flourishes craving or greed all times. If craving is taken as something that is passing down from the past and extending to the future, that again is delusion. At this moment condition by causes the consciousness arising and disappearing instantly upsets everything man who  fails to see the reality in this process gets under the misconception that the self or other beings or phenomena are either existent or non- existent. The result is that such person develops attachment of conflict and prolongs the journey in samsara, and thereby undergoes endless suffering. We whose knowledge of the highest Dhama is only marginal should in the least endeavor to have fear of samsara and firm determination to live a life abstaining from the commitment of unwholesome action.

We must at all times cultivate a compassionate mind undefiled by jealously, hatred evil thoughts and selfishness.  But a mind generous enough to be of service to others wherever possible. Every effort must be made to put oneself in the position of others who undergo immense hard ship and pain in the time of illness, helplessness hunger and thirst and loss others forms of misery. Sympathetic approach in such situation is the sign of healthy mind. Let a smile illuminate your face. Do all good things with you heart filled with loving kindness and compassion. Eradicate craving conceit and an attachment to dogmas has belief in one law of Kamma and performs only wholesome acts.

Extend loving kindness to all beings that all of us without exception inherit misery and sorrow of samsara. The foremost feeling of all times in your mind should be loving kindness and compassion wishing may all be free from suffering May all good wishes be fulfilled May all be free from disease free from enemy threats never to get angry. The only way to overcome enemy action loving kindness rather than finding the weakness of others, try to find your own defects and correct yourself. Happiness of others should be your primary wish helps others in time of misery. Never talk ill of others. If you have weakness, admit seriously that you are at fault, consider that your behavior is as same as that of pigs that gobbles anything. Think that you too tell lies carry tales use filthy harsh language waste time talking nonsense. How many of this talk ill about others and try to be in good books by sharing that we are good people. But by doing all I represent or show that I am a disciple of Lord Buddha.

Devas will never fervor me.  When I am so hypocrite even non-humans would cause troubles to me people would not like me. Even my friends and relatives would look down on me. Nobody will come for my help when I am helpless. Even my own wife/husband children would not look after me. I must there for try my best to keep good moral standards in my life. I must observe the eight precepts regular on full moon Poya days. I shall keep my mind under control I shall cultivate the spirit of devotion and to the Tripple Gem. I shall train in my mind such a way that I not shall be guilty conscious such should be my strong will I shall certainly comprehend the Dhamma and attain Nibbana the cessation of suffering.  All those who want release from ‘Samsara’ may do as I do May 2559 year Buddha era being happiness to all.
