1月31日 An outline of Buddhism.....In search of Truth and PeaceContinued......
The moral and philosophical system system, expounded by the Buddha, is called the Dhamma and is popularly known as Buddhism. Strictly speaking, Buddhism is not a religion, as it is not a system of faith and worship, owing any allegiance to a supernatural God. It is a course that guides a disciple through pure living and pure thinking to the gain of Supreme Wisdom and deliverance from all evil. A Buddhist is neither a slave to a book nor to any individual. Without sacrificing his freedom of thought he exercises his own freewill and develops his wisdom even to the extent of becoming a Buddha himself, for all are potential Buddhas. Naturally his followers quote the Buddha as their authority. Immediate relization is the sole criterion of truth in Buddhism. Its keynote is rational understanding.
The Buddha was no doubt highly venerated in his own time, but he never arrogated to himself divinity. He was a man, an extraordinary man (Acchariya Manussa). Mevertheless, it should be remarked that there was no teacher "ever so godless as the Buddha yet none so god-like". What the Buddha expects from his desciples is not so much obeisance as the actual observance of his teaching. Furthermore, prayers that "seek for objects of earthly ambition and that inflame the sense of self" are foreign to Buddhism. On the contrary great emphasis is laid on meditations that tend to self-discipline, self-control, purification and enlightenment.
In Buddhism there is no God Creator to be obeyed and feared by a Buddhist. Instead of placing an unseen almighty God over man, the Buddha has raised the worth of mankind. Buddha teachs that man can gain salvation by self-exertion without depending on God or mediating priests.
The foundations of Buddhism are the Four Noble Truths which are associated with the so-called being. The Buddha states: "In this very fathom long body, along with its perceptions and thoughts, do I proclaim the world, the origin of the world, the cessation of the world, and the Path leading to the cessation of the world." This interesting passage refers to the Four Noble Truths which the Buddha himself discovered by his own inituitive knowledge. Whether Buddhas arise or not they exist, and just it is a Buddha that reveals them to the deluded world. For the knowledge of these truths which do not and cannot change with time, the Buddha was not indebted to anyone as He himself said they were unheard of before.
To be continued....The Four Noble Truths of Buddhism 1月28日 Buddhism.....what's the idea behind it?Having seen people suffer from sadness (Dhukka), I've realised that my religion influence my thought so much about living my life happily. I've just known that one of my friend, I think she's sad about her love life. However, She knows Buddhism's principles....and eventually she can go through tough time. Congratulation with her and bless me that I have Buddhism's principles lead my way of thinking and dealing with my complicated life. I've just got a pocket book about Buddhism few days agos. I just wanna share with all of my friends both thai and western's. Hope this will help you know more about Buddhism and somehow be useful in order to live your life happily and consciously.
Today we are living in an age of science -- an age where man inclined to accept the truth of anything by observation and experiment rather than by mere believe. It is said that the basic principles of Buddhism are in harmony with the findings of science and not opposed to them in any way. I personally believe that Buddhism is a religion which is simply the science of knowing, observing, experimenting, percieving and understanding. From the book, it said that the man is a psycho-physical unit whose 'psyche' is not a changeless soul but a dynamic continuum composed of a conscious mind as well as an unconscious in which is stored the residua of emotionally charged memories going back to childhood as well as into past lives. Such a mind is said to be impelled to act under the influence of three types of desires -- the desire for sense-gratification (kama-tanha), the desire for self-preservation (Bhava-tanha), and the desire for destruction (Vibhava-tanha). Those desires somehow Buddha said that we have to control--literally, control yourself, the satisfaction, level of gratification is sometimes depended on the word 'enough'.
Moreover, he also comprehended all their fullness the Four Noble Truths, the eternal verities of life. This knowledge of the truths he tried to impart to those who sought it, and never forced it upon others. The thing that I admires him is he has never compelled people to follow him, for compulsion and coercion were alien to his method of teaching. Buddhism is free from compulsion and coercion and does not demand of the follower blind faith. At the very outset the sceptic will be pleased to hear of its call for investigation. Buddhism from beginning to end, is open to all those who have eyes to see and a mind to understand. Instead of encouraging his disciplesto believe him blindly, he wished them to investigate his teaching which invited the seeker to 'come and see'. It is seeing and understanding, and not blind believing, that the Buddha approves.
Despite the fact that ceaseless work going on all directions to improve the world such as innovations, technology and seems to promise that it can turn this world into a paradise. But man cannot yet control his mind, despite all the achievements of science. Recently, we also experience the rising problems of being conspicuous consumers. Becuz of fierce competition of the globalisation, businesses are seemed to do everything to please their customers by launching new products quickly response to the consumer's needs. People tend to compensate or complete their happiness of lives by consuming, buying products. However, is that the true happiness that they can get? To one who views the world and all it hold in its propers perspective, the primary concern of life is not mere speculation or vain voyaging into imaginary regions of high fantasy, but instead the gaining of true happiness and freedom from ill or unsatisfactoriness (dhukka).
To him, true knowledge depends on the central question: is this learning according to actuality? Can it be of use to us in the conquest of mental peace and tranquility, of real happiness?
to be continued "An outline of Buddhism: In search of Truth and Peace"...... 1月26日 คนเจ้าน้ำตา.....ทั้งที่รู้จบไปแล้ว รู้ทั้งรู้ว่าไม่รัก
Even I know that it has already ended, and I do realize that you don't love me.
ยังจะอยากพูดจาทักทายเมื่อเจอ But still I want to greet you when I see you.
รู้ว่าเขาไม่เปลี่ยนใจ รู้ทั้งรู้เขาไม่แคร์ I know your feelings haven't changed. Even I know you don't care.
ยังอุตส่าห์แอบเผลอคิดเพ้อฝันไป But still I naively think and dream of you.
ไม่เคยจำ ไม่เข้าใจเหตุใดยังรักและฝังใจ ที่เขาทำมันโหดร้าย I never remember, I don't know why I still care and love you, my feelings that you've cruelly mistreated. เปลี่ยนตัวเอง ปรับตัวเองก็ยังทำไม่ได้ Changing myself, readjusting myself, I still can't do it.
ก็คำว่ารักมันค้างมันคาในใจ ก็ยังหวั่นไหวในใจอยู่ดี My love for you is stuck in my heart, and so it's still shaking in my heart.
บอกตัวเองทุกวัน ให้หันไปทางอื่น เวลาที่เขานั้นเข้ามา I tell myself everyday to turn and look away whenever you come in.
บอกตัวเองซ้ำๆ เลิกทำเป็นคนเจ้าน้ำตา tell myself repeatedly, to stop crying so much.
อย่าเสียดายเวลา อย่าให้เขารู้ว่าเราไม่เปลี่ยนจากเดิม To stop wasting time, to not let you know how I still feel the same for you. พยายามจะตัดใจ ตัดปัญหาให้พันไป แต่ก็ทำไม่ได้เลยสักที I'm trying to suppress my feelings, to rid myself of this problem, but I can never seem to. คิดถึงเขาอยู่เสมอ อยากให้เขาอยู่ตรงนี้ I'm always thinking of you, wanting you to be here with me.
ได้แต่คิดทั้งๆ ที่มันไม่มีทาง I'm just thinking though that it has no way.
บอกตัวเองทุกวัน ให้หันไปทางอื่น เวลาที่เขานั้นเข้ามา I tell myself everyday to turn and look away whenever you come in.
บอกตัวเองซ้ำๆ เลิกทำเป็นคนเจ้าน้ำตา tell myself repeatedly, to stop crying so much. อย่าเสียดายเวลา อย่าให้เขารู้ว่าเราไม่เปลี่ยนจากเดิม To stop wasting time, to not let you know how I still feel the same for you. 1月17日 Relationship....Do we need it?Do we need it?
I don't know but I guess not!!!
Relationship.....this word comes with many responsibilities and commitments.
If somebody is not sure about taking those responsibilities, they shouldn't be in relationship. I found so many men just want to be in relationship for sake of possessing someone. But Why? Different views, I understand. The point is that relationship is not just possessing someone or think that someone is belong to the other one so that gal won't go with some other guys. I've been have bad experience about this word. I hate it so much. I'm so sick of this word really. It happened to me last relationship which someone (my ex) wanted me to define myself as his galfriend and show the rest of the world that we were in relationship. And then so what!!! I don't mind that people gonna know about us cuz they would know about us anyway as they saw us hanged out together. However, the most important thing for me is to be sincere as it's considered as a feeling inside show as an action to the other one.
I think i'm the one who like to show my feeling as an action not the word. Even though we have the word to show that we're in relationship but the action is not or simply is bullshit and stupid. I don't think that it's relationship. It's just something that you call or define yourself as you've relationshipor for sake of being with someone. I always said that words are not important as your actions. Mostly i've never said anything but I do it instead. But someone who said sweet things all the time has never done that. So what's the point to be in relationship and said that we were in relationship if we didn't do anything.
So do we need relationship?
I don't think so!!! 1月8日 Sick.....of wordsToday is an another ordinary day....for me
But prob it's a special day for someone.
I'm sick today.....sick of words!!!
I don't know what to say.
It's really difficult.....to explain.
I'm still sick.....I had enough of words.
I'm not ready to hear anyhing anymore.
I'm really sick of being in relationship with someone.
It was just too much for me now.
My bad experiences are still haunting me.
I wanna get rid of it!!!!
Today sombody has said those kinds of words to me.
I'm sorry that i couldn't take it. I just really can't.
I'm such an idiot...stupid foolish gal.
I'm crying only becuz i heard some nice words from others.
You know why.....becuz I'm afraid that it's not real.
I'm afraid that it's no true...and it's uncertain.
I'm afraid of the things that gonna happen afterwards.
I would like to cut anything at the very first stage,
so i'm not gonna be the weaker one again.
I'm gonna be tough nd strong......from now on.
Also....will be more realistic not optimistic.
I could say that i'm really pessimistic now about
this kind of things.
Don't say it again please...I really can' take it.
It's just too much....sick of words.
I'm not sad...but i'm sick.
I'm really sick and I just realised that how sick I am.
Thanks for that though but don't say it no more. 1月6日 One fine day....Have gone from space for so long....
Today is another one fine day.
I woke up in the morning around 9 am.
I wanna have some fresh air in the morning
and thinking about having coffee in starbucks,
reading some newspaper.
I walked around to one starbucks....somewhere near my place.
i dressed like a nerd gal....head band, glasses,
tight pant with knee jumper, black coat, grey scarve, no socks,
and old favourite shoes. แม่งเหมือนซิ้มโบ๊ะ แต่ไม่ไร....
I went to the first starbucks, the nearest one, it was close.
Oh god...unbelievable....how come!!! It's close at weekend.
So i walked back and went to the other one on the high street
with m drss like that.....like just got out of the bed.
I've been there since 10 am. and spent time reading newspaper
for 3 hours.....till almost 1 pm.
It was so nice.....such a nice weather this week, for the whole week.
I couldn't stay in bed and refuse to go out get some fresh air.
I realised that The joyful blue sky has come to me since very first week
after it's been pouring last week of the year.
ฟ้าหลังฝนย่อมสวยงามเสมออ่ะนะ......
อดทนเวลาที่ฝนพรำ อย่างน้อยก้อทำให้เราได้เห็นถึงความแตกต่าง
เมื่วันเวลาที่ฝนจาง ฟ้าก้อคงสว่างและทำให้เราได้เข้าใจ
ว่ามันคุ้มค่าแค่ไหนที่เฝ้ารอ.....
กรูรออยู่......Seasons change!!!!
The weather of the first week of January this year is so fantastic.
It is sunny during day time and raining a bit when it's dark.
Still I spent time on my own.....everyday.
That's never changed!!!!
Well, Never mind.....i'm totally fine with that.
Now I've got new serious issue........candles.
I'm going crazy....every time that i went out,
I always bought candle back home...at least a candle.
It smells so good and it looks so pretty...can't resist myself not to buy it.
Wanna get a job as soon as possible, so i can buy loads of them.
Haven't chatted with my gang for ages.
How's u guys doing???? miss u loads.....
