All the problems happening around the world started in the mind of human being gripped by one of three poisons or of three negative roots. According to Buddhism, only when these three negative roots can be replaced by three positive roots can human being become better in deeds, words and thoughts. Only then can we create a better world of ours and better future. It is the most central key point offered by the Buddha. I do not want you, the readers to misunderstand Buddhism with religion.
Buddhism is not like other religions that exist in the world; it is something like living guideline in my opinion because it has guided me a lot how I should live since I started seriously following and studying Buddhist philosophy as a monastic in a very well-know monastery named Mahagandhayon in Burma. I like the way Buddhism advises people and introduces its Teaching to people because I felt the Buddha’s Teaching is inspiring me so much and it has guided me a lot the way how I should. I love it so much.
Actually, how I should live or how you should live is not so much complicated but very simple. We need only will to do. In my experience, sometimes, I feel irritated or bitter or dissatisfied with someone I love so much because they betrayed me and broke loyal friendship with me. It makes me feel terrible when I feel someone betrayed and loyal friendship broken by them because I have done a lot of benefit for them and I have helped them wholeheartedly for what they needed for a long time.
Of course, common response of common people to them may be a sort of revenge to do as they have done on you waiting for the opportunity to take advantage of them. It is a very common way of responding to those who hurt our feelings regardless of gratitude. No matter where you live, in the east or in the west, this is a very common way of responding by those who did wrong to them. Actually, it is not the way to find true solution of a problem but we are ignorant and have no knowledge on how to deal with such a problem.
The Buddha gave us a living guideline on how to deal with such a problem even though He passed away. here we go; when we are feeling irritated, bitter, dissatisfied or unpleasant with someone or something we love so much, it can be called ‘Anger, or ill-will, or hatred, resentment, or any other vocabularies equivalent to the feeling of dislike. It is one of three poisons or one of three negative roots that can cause us to suffer deeply or lightly. It is clear that these vocabularies that represent your unhealthy mind will never make you happy.
It is just an extract from my book “Human Being, Judgment and Vipassana”. If you want to know more of it to learn, you need the book “Human Being, Judgment and Vipassana”. It is just sold in Mahagandhayon as it is not for bussiness just to cover for republishing it more copies to share them with people more by your contributions.
