Neeranam 8,330 Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 I have a little spiritual book which I found in India. It is kind of between Buddhism and Hinduism. I chose one at random every day. I'd like to share todays one with you. "If I am always comparing myself with other human beings, I will SUFFER from ego or jealousy" Link to post Share on other sites

Neeranam 8,330 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 What was the future happens now, what happens now becomes the past - so why worry. There is a Thai saying I like- "arai ja gerd gaw hai man gerd" what happens is meant to happen. Does no one else have any thoughts? Link to post Share on other sites

Sounds like typical Thai fatalism to me. If we were to paraphrase Buddhist teachings it would come out something like: Whatever is in the past is past, so don't waste time worrying about it. What you do in the present directly affects your future, so make sure you are doing the right thing now! 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Does no one else have any thoughts? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Better Buddha Sakayamuni: "If you want to understand the causes that existed in the past, look at the results as they are manifested in the present. And if you want to understand what results will be manifested in the future, look at the causes that exist in the present." Or to put it another way: If we want to understand our present, look at the causes that we created in the past; and if we want to know the effects in the future, then look at the causes that we are creating now. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
