Someday…VIETNAMESE TRANSLATE ENGLISH BY=THICH CHAN TANH.

People seem  to come to a certain point where  they realize that life really doesn't matter. Finally, the same. You may have a happy, happy life or you have to make misery, poverty, suffering. The end of the road is no different. When the hand is down, the monarch or the welder is the goodbye. Maybe someone will have money back support, trumpet drum heaven. Someone was bundling in a torn mat in the rain. But both are ignorant, both are doing it for the living.

At a certain age, people will experience that  life  is just nothing. Born, grow, grow old and disappear. Everything fame is just a fantasy. Everything that is made is frivolous. Everything joy or misery is just a spice of life. Born to live, must fight to survive, must aspire to rise. Then, when old age has come, the tragedy of fade affects each person, it will turn out that he spent his youth to chase all the illusion. Scramble for fame, dominate each other to win. To gain fame and gain, be more ambitious and bigger. Finally just a game, then empty hands when returning to dust.

At some point in life, looking back on the path we have traveled, we find that we have only left so many mistakes. Mistake with  parents , with loved ones. Mistake with friends, with society. Blame the people we met, the people who passed us through. All due to the ego too big of each person. Don't know how to forget yourself but just live for yourself. Therefore, selfish thoughts and actions go on and on to bring about mistakes.

It is important to live to a certain age until it is important to win against yourself. Youth eager to win just take care of people, than people. Feel smug and happy in victory. There is no idea that the victory that we have is the failure and pain for others. Did not know that this victory is the next trap of his life. In any situation, beating yourself is the hardest thing. By doing that, we can be proud.

Only at some point does people realize that listening is what is needed. Listening is the ability to collect the world for themselves. Listening to know can distinguish right from quibble. Listening can share. If you want to listen, you must learn to be silent. It only takes a few years to learn to speak, but a lifetime to learn to be silent. Silent to listen. Not only listening to human language, we have to practice listening to the sound of nature, the sound of plants, cricket, the wind, the sun, the rain and storms. The sound of waves crashing, birds chirping all bring us the emotions of life. Without them, life is just a tasteless void.

At a certain age, people should come to earth with smiles. Smile at each other with open hearts, with friendly hearts. Please greet each other only once because maybe tomorrow there is no chance to meet, no opportunity to send each other a smile. Samsara is a fragile boundary. Life is impermanent. Aging will lead to illness, disease that makes people wither, painful discomfort. If optimistic and smile with everyone, the pain will be reduced, wither will be less, smile is a makeup powder for old age.

At a certain age, people will understand that the basic thing of man is loneliness. Man is born alone and loses only alone. Nobody lives for me and nobody dies for me. Family, husband, wife, children, friends are all relatives, but each person has a life, each has its own fate and destiny. Therefore, each person must decide his own life, not waiting for anyone to replace him. In the journey of life, a human being is a solitary entity, which no one can exchange. Old age is the time to gnaw loneliness the most.

At some point, it is understood that living is to fulfill the four duties of life. The duty of the past is to repay filial piety to the mother and father. The duty of the future is to raise children. The duty to life is to help those in need, to love others and ultimately to fill their lives with daily expenses and activities. People make money more or less just hang around that duty. Someone who doesn't do it is irresponsible. So being a human is fulfilling your duty. When we reach old age, we can fulfill our duty to enjoy the rest of our lives in peace.

At some point people will have regrets. Unfortunately, not yet do what you want to do, have not been to the places you want to go. Time was running out, the train crashed to dusk. Suddenly startled time is too short. So do whatever you want to do right away. Have a wish, then do it, including revenge on someone. But if you can forgive, then you should forgive, if you forget, you should forget. Learning to forget what to forget is also a cure for the soul. Remember much just heavy lifting. Living that heavy burden only torment. END=NAM MO SHAKYAMUNI BUDDHA.( 3 TIMES ).WORLD VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST ORDER=GOLDEN AMITABHA MONASTERY=VIETNAMESE BUDDHIST NUN=THICH CHAN TANH.AUSTRALIA,SYDNEY.21/11/2019.
