I've been studying Buddhism lately and find it very beneficial, some of you may think its too superstitious with not much scientific facts to prove to you? I personally feel there is no harm in learning something new, you never know, it could change your life or even give you a new perspective in viewing life? I personally feel Buddhism is a very practical religion, like all religion it persuades us to use this one life of ours to do as much good as possible and to help us tackle personal problems. It tells us in order to do good, it isn't just a matter of saying it, but to have a pure mind towards everything in life? sometimes you feel you know it, but you cannot prove it in reality? but don't worry I have the same problem! its just a matter of practice and patience? From studying Buddhism, It had provided me hope, that life is what we make of it
and that we all have a chance to change
our destinies, its just a matter of knowing how to and if you willing to? I know that not all of us are born lucky and who we are depends on the different environments and cultural background we were born into? some say to me, its easy to say but hard to do? Kevin I am not you? you are not me? you wont understand? its not easy, its just so hard?? Come on people? you sound like there is no hope? then what is the point of living, if you only think things are tough? Its too hard? its not possible? it wont work? what about If you give it a go? at least there is a chance and hope? if you not even willing to do anything? there is no chance at all? simple. We should always be going forward and to work towards in becoming a better person, in a way, this will help others around you, because you have knowledge and a pure mind towards life. This is part of what Buddhism tells us? just think about it, if life was all planed out? why would there still be Buddhism and other religions?
it shows that we can achieve allot more than we think, even thought you are born unlucky? if you willing to do good and to change, there is always a turning point and if your life is born lucky? good! use it wisely, don't waste it? if not? it doesn't mean it will stay that way, so there is always hope and chances available, its just down to you? The Buddha says everything is cause from the mind, there fore it creates an effect, like some of you might say, what goes around, comes around? we should always be cultivating good for example, give money to charity, teach knowledge to people and to help those in need. It's common sense really, when we have a good mind and heart, there will be good, people will respect you, no matter how bad a situation is, it will be ok as long as you have a pure mind towards everything in life. It is not easy, you may not achieve all, but at least you have improved on yourself than not improving at all! I hope you guys will appreciate your life and remember only an awaken person can change there life, so keep working towards improving yourselves, don't underestimate what U can achieve, it is a shame seeing some people wasting there talents and there good fortune. We only live once, have hope in yourself, only hope can bring results and start doing more good. AMITUOFO KYU
