how to achieve peaceful solution to any problem and any conflict even in a family

Q: Bhante Ashin Kelasa, can you advise us how to achieve peaceful solution to any problem and any conflict even in a family?

A: Well, I have a really great advice to you for your question but it totally depends upon you, whether you will do it or not. Without rational and reasonable question, You have to stop thinking about the past whether it is right or wrong or judging who is right or who is wrong.

Of course, you have to take a wise promise not to repeat the same mistake as you all did in the past by learning great lesson from it. It is the only way to achieve peaceful living for the near and far future.

I will seriously repeat it again; To move From wonderful present to the beautiful future, we wisely need to take perfect peace from the past dark conflict without questioning by learning great lesson from the past.

As you know, Nobody and nothing is perfect but we should try our best by understanding and forgiving someone’s mistake once done in the past. This is the only way to achieve perfect peace and a peaceful living and also a very Buddhistic and pragmatic approach to any issue to achieve peaceful solution. This is my only advice to you. Whether you will do it or not is your part. I hope you get it.
