Life - The Human Heart When our eyes are attracted to something, we cannot easily forget them and tear them away from it. It can remain in the mind and heart for a long, long time. Sometimes, our eyes are so intrigued by a particular person or thing that images of them appear before us again and again right in front of our foreheads. This is because we live in a colorful and materially seductive world full of temptation Life - To be Respected To be on the right track to the state of purification and perfection which in turn will gain respect, one has to learn and obey the rules of nature and for Chinese, we are taught the Truth which is unbiased and it is the root to the attainment of enlightenment. Life - Time is Precious In life, men are controlled by time. They are always fighting against it. If time is not seen, man will not be so anxious. Think too much about it for time alone controls every action of man. By night one rests and by day one works. If men can forget about time, then they may work without even thinking of time to rest. Yet men are anxious of this movement of time. When one works, time should not b Life - Fame, Wealth and Lust Once becoming famous, one will be bound by a NAME. For this name, one must walk in restraint, fearing that the personal image may be destroyed. Hence people are often stranded by fame and harmed by fame. Life - Bitter & Sweet The worst enemy of men is their own mouth. By it one falls sick, by it one dies and by it enemies are made. Guard yourself against your own mouth and beware of speeches made. When words are spoken carelessly and without any harm, upon entering into others' ears, a curse may arise. Be on guard at all times, even a careless whisper can bring us nightmare and bitterness for a long, long time. Life - A Child is Born With the sunrise and the sunset, every minute a child is born. The first cry seems to be joyful to the parents' ears, yet a cry of suffering one knows not. With every new born, death is seen, but where he goes to is a mystery to all. Not knowing where one comes from, one will not know why one comes to this plane, neither will one know of where to return. Life - At the Workplace In life, we each play many different roles at home. At the workplace, never allow our personal emotions to carelessly come in which is inappropriate for all the reasons you may imagine. No matter how many big corporations called themselves as "big families" it is truly difficult to tolerate workers who bring their personal frustrations or opinions into the workplace. Learn to leave your troubles a Life - What is Awakening? To understand "awakening" of the inner soul, we have to know what are "the body is empty," "the heart is empty," "the soul is empty," and "the Dharma is empty?" Life - What is Fate? This is the teaching of Tao of Heaven about the deeper meaning of life and fate and how a human being can become a Saint, Sage or just ordinary among humans: Life - Is Life Predestined? "Is Life Predestined?" is a very common question that people always ask and if it is predestined then what is the point of doing this and that, why not just let it be and wait. It is said, "Broaden your mind so it can contain all the things in the world; empty your mind so it can accept all the goodness in the world; calm your mind so it can tolerate all the happenings in the world; be composed so Life - The Essence of Mind Over a period of 5,000 years, through the lineage of Tao, there are 64 Patriarchs and one of them is Hui Neng. On the Essence of Mind, he said that it is pure by nature and it is the seed of enlightenment. By making use of this mind alone we can reach Sainthood directly and one of his saying is "Sentient beings who sow the seeds of enlightenment; in the field of Causation will reap the fruit of Sa Life - Giving and Taking Heaven speaks not and Earth speaks not. In the teachings of the truth, Heaven and Man are one and man acts for God by speaking the truth because man can speak. Contribution in terms of speaking and propagating the truth, is one of the highest merits that a man can do to save the world. One person can save likewise one person can destroy. To save people from this suffering world for eternity is the Life - The Way of Love Pure love is a willingness to give, without a thought of receiving anything in return. Love can save the world from nuclear destruction. Love your fellow human beings; make yourself fit to be called a child of God by living the way of love. Life - A Great Lady Years ago I read a book about the most wonderful lady called "Peace Pilgrim" in America. She walked 25,000 Miles on Foot for Peace.

Showers of Wisdom ( Part 3 of 3 ) Most people contribute unreasonable problems in their lives to fate and do not understand that fate in reality is simply the results of karma. This undetectable force of karma is not affected by space or time and follows everyone.
