Buddha curtain

Brother Sithu

Wanmin U Kyaw Lone faced defeat at a political turning point because he could not overcome the worldly law. His party unexpectedly collapsed, and he was like a tree on the bank of the river from Wanmin's life. However, he did not know that he would become a politician, and he kept busy with his work, praying to the Buddha while making suggestions for his recovery, and finding and plotting the destruction of the leaders who were competing with him.

At first, his side was losing. The loyal followers who had been loyal to him when he was in power had switched to his opponents. The newspapers that were on his side at the beginning had also changed their tune. His enemies were also very active and were being beaten up. He had to fight with one or two newspapers. He was being slandered. He was spreading the faults of his enemies, some of them as if they were real and some of them as if they were fabricated. Sometimes he was clever and cunning, but he was not aware of it. Sometimes he was harsh. Sometimes he was just a piece of shit. Just as he was slandering, slandering, slandering , slandering, the other side was slandering , slandering , slandering.

Then U Kyauk Lone tried to endure all the insults from his enemies, as he knew it was most necessary to endure. He knew that insults, blows, and blows are important in politics, and that the other side would insult him just as he insulted. Therefore, he had taken protection early on.

“Hey....Khin.... The speech you gave the other day really hurt those dogs. My lord, I am so angry that I have been sitting here all day. I am so angry that I can’t even eat. I can’t sleep, I even have to call a doctor... Haha... Haha, politics is like that, you know, you can make your opponents lose their health and morale.”

Once, in a happy tone, he was talking to his wife about politics.

"Didn't they curse at my older brother once too...? At that time, my older brother got really angry and did that too, didn't he?" he asked.

“Oh..yes, sir. But my brother doesn’t last as long as they do. Because my brother uses the method given by the monk…. Then, just enter the temple hall once…, worship the Buddha…make your breathing and inhaling consistent…, if you forget about those things, nothing will happen….

I don't know that trick very well... If I insult them, I will only hit them... If they insult me, I will protect myself by not hitting them... Wouldn't it be better to come up with good ideas and intelligence if I didn't hit them? That way, I can think about political issues with a calm head without making the wrong move... heh... heh... heh... "

He entered the temple hall, speaking in a joyful tone.

Yes. Before, U Kyauk Lone did not dare to read news that was slanderous or offensive to him. His secretary warned her not to bring such newspapers to him. Because he was a very angry person. He could not stand it. Therefore, he only read newspapers that praised him and gave him credit. He did not read any news, articles, or novels that criticized him. Even after learning the Dhamma, he still provoked his enemies to not want to accept it. He insulted. He was very careful not to read the articles that were slanderous to him. Even if his secretary did not read them, he was always ready to defend himself with the Dhamma so that he would not be hurt.

In this way, U Kyauk Lone trusted the Buddha for his politics. He also felt the benefits of the Buddha's teachings. After all, he was a person who felt, wasn't he?

He knew that the Buddha's teachings were intended to provide a cooling benefit to those who drank them, whether good or bad.

“Brother, look... look... they have drawn a caricature of my brother in their newspaper, comparing him to a dog. Don't let them insult you, brother. Take action against that newspaper.”

U Kyauk Lone's wife, Khin, ran towards U Kyauk Lone, who had just woken up from his sleep and was seeking advice, when U Kyauk Lone suddenly grabbed it and looked at it.

U Kyauk Lone's cheeks immediately became red. His eyes also turned red. He threw the newspaper away and stared at his wife with red eyes. No words came out of his mouth because of his anger.

His wife Khin stood there, her face pale with fear. Soon, U Kyauk Lone's secretary came running...

“Brother, have you seen the newspaper? Myint, the newspaper cut out that cartoon, and when he didn’t show it after he went outside for a while, Myint came running after him…”

She explained. Then U Kyauk Lone turned to his wife and...

"Khin...you're so stupid...I told you not to let me see you like that, didn't I? What good will it do me if you see me? I'm just angry, you know."

"So, big brother, you have to be patient."

"Hey, before you go... I'm a little bit of a nerd. I can't help but get angry right away. Don't show it to me later- I apologize. Now... I'll just calm down. I was trying to calm down at the press conference tonight, and you came to interrupt me while I was still calm and collected... Oh, my God..."

“Yes, ma’am. Don’t show that kind of news to my brother. Myint, you know that I have been assigned to cut out that kind of news and photos.”

"Oh...such insults."

“Taw San Ka-Khin Taw San. You are also far away... Now, Hway Myint, do you know who comes this morning and I will not be able to see you because I am in the temple?”

Saying this, Wanmin U Kyauk Lone entered the temple to calm his anger with the breathing exercises he had practiced.
