Happiness by yourself.

 People in the world have one thing in common is not able to choose where to place birth. Being in a rich or poor family, rich or poor, suffering or happy is due to each other's karmic desires. There are things, born in the family with many favorable conditions are blessing but not sure that later he will be successful, happy and vice versa.

According to the wisdom of the Exalted, old karma determines the background, but the new karma will determine the future. New kamma is what we all create in this life. If the Buddha disciples really understand and practice the Dharma always actively strive to transform themselves to create a good future. In other words, suffering in the present and in the future is created by ourselves.

"A Buddha in the Saree, the forest of the United States, the Garden of Herbs.

Then the Sun told the monks:

- Now there are four classes of people appearing in life. how is four? Some people before suffering after happy, or someone before the fun after suffering. Some people before suffering also suffering, or have fun before the fun.

Who is suffering before, after fun?

Here, someone born in an insane household, or a butcher, or a boatman, or born in a pagan house and other difficult-to-do people, is not enough. He is born in the house but there is no wrong view. He recognized that there is alms, some have life, there is this life, the next life, Sa-subject, Brahman, father, mother, Arahants, etc. .. received the teachings, There are good karmic retribution.

If he found that the house is very rich, knew that the results of alms, results do not let go on the old days. If he sees the man who does not have rice, know these people do not give, always meet poor. "Now I have the same poor quality, not because of the previous day do not create blessings, or the life of the lung. As a result of this evil report, now meet the poor, not enough dress.

If he saw Sa-subject, Ba-la-subjects, legal practice, immediately come to repent, modify old jobs; If there are plenty, divide them equally. That person will be born in the same good. If he was born in a man, he had a lot of money, no shortage of money. That is before suffering, after fun.

What kind of people before fun, after suffering?

Here, there is a person born in the clan, or the clan, or the clan, or the descendant, and the rich, the full. But he always embraces the wrong view, corresponding with the view. He has this view: there is no alms, no life, no consequences of this life, the next life, neither parents, no Arahants, no unqualified, nor good retribution of good and evil. He has this wrong view. If he or she finds someone rich, he thinks, "This man has money for a long time, men have long made men, women have long been women, animals have long been born." He does not like gift, do not keep the precepts.

If he saw Sa-subject, Brahmin discipline the world immediately angry: "This person is false, where will bless blessings?" That person will be born in hell in the hell. If you are made people will give birth to the poor, not enough rice, body naked, not enough clothes. That is the person before happy after suffering.

What kind of people before suffering, after suffering?

Here, there are those who are born of infertility, or of the butchers, or of the workmen, and of the lowly, and of the poor; He was born in that house. After that he embraces the wrong view, corresponds to the manifest. He has this opinion: there is no alms, no life, no good consequences, the next life; no parents, no Arahants'. He does not like gift, do not keep the precepts.

If he saw Sa-subject, Brahmin immediately angry with the level. He saw that the poor man had long ago seen the rich man as having long ago seen that the father was a father; My mother was my mother. When the body in general, he was born in hell. If the birth of a person is very poor, the clothes are not enough. It is suffering before suffering.

What is the fun before, after fun?

Here, there are people born wealthy, or line-assassins, or lineage Pham Chi, or royal line, or birth line false and birth in the house much money. The birth place is not lacking. After that, he has the right view, no wrong view. He has the right view like this: "There is alms, there are life, there is this life, next life, Sa-subject, Brahman, also have good news, good father, mother, yes Arhat. "

If he again see people belonging to the rich, money, many, think: "This person by the old generous gift." If you find the poor home: "This person by the old do not give. So now we can depending on the time of generosity, not after birth in the poor. So he likes to give alms to people.

If he saw Sa-subject, Ba-la-subject, Taoist immediately visit health, provide clothing, food, bedding, medicine treatment, all give. When the network will be born to heaven, good place. If born in human beings, he will enter the wealthy, rich money. It was fun before, after fun.

This Dharma talk shows that right understanding is very important. The right view is the person who "sees there is alms, there is life, there is this life, the next life, Sa-subject, Ba-la-subjects, father, mother, Arahants, etc. The life of Dhamma, also good results evil "and" again see Sa-subject, Brahmin, legal practice, immediately come to repent, modify the old; If it is abundant, divide it for the people. Knowing the right will act right, leading to bright future. If born in the poor, thanks to right view that builds his next good direction (before suffering, after fun). If you come from the wealthy, also thanks to the right view that creates a better future (before fun, after fun).

On the contrary, if you accept false views, "there is no generosity, no life, no consequences, no life, neither parents, no Arahants, no unqualified. , there is no good retribution "and" not favor alms, do not keep the precepts. " Because wrong view should make him not create any good good. If born in the rich, because of wrong views that spend all the old blessings, do not know how to create good new blessings, so later suffering (before fun, after suffering). If born in the poor, also believe in wrong view, so the present and future are not blessed, suffering all life (suffering before, suffering).

Obviously, the Buddha does not teach us to ask Him to give us this or that. Buddhists "Let's light up the torch ourselves," because "Tathagata is the master of the road". He pointed out the path of creation of new karma is very clear. It is good news of good and evil results that avoid the bad, clearly see the blessing and then according to the ability to cultivate, practice the virtue in daily life, honoring parents, refugee leg practitioners It is the practice to practice ... Those who practice according to His teachings will surely create a happy, happy future. END=NAM MO SAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.THE MIND OF ENLIGHTENMENT.VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=GOLDEN LOTUS MONASTERY=AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.2/4/2018.
