Nandar Thein Zan - Those who help those in need

Accordingly..

His voice was the loudest in the conversation that day. It was loud, but he was speaking with a strong, resonant voice. He was talking about the relationship between "form" and "action"...

He is talking about the great lion Keshara and his actions. Although Keshara is the great lion who rules the three mountains, if this great lion is digging a hole to eat a mouse (a small mouse)... then form and function do not match. Keshara is the "image" of a mouse, and he is the one who eats a small mouse.

The "action" of digging a hole is not appropriate. You've heard, haven't you? The lion king Kesharaja has no custom of eating small mice, leftovers, or leftover meat left over after others have eaten them. Kesharaja, the king of lions, uses his own strength to select and capture large prey that he wants to eat. That way, the lion king Kesharaja's actions will be consistent with the image of the lion...

He continued... talking about his uncle.

“At a religious festival in a small town, his uncle dressed as a Brahman and went around. The sun was hot and the Brahman robe was thick, and his uncle Brahma was sweating profusely. When he wiped the sweat, the makeup on his face was ruined. His uncle Brahma was again suffering from extreme thirst. He was so thirsty that he could no longer pretend to be thirsty and shouted for water from the people nearby. When the water was brought, he drank it eagerly, but the Brahman robes in front of him were soaked. What was worse... As he was drinking the water, the streams where the water flowed were so loud that the pointed Brahman hat he was wearing fell into the people below...

“A real Brahman does not sweat, does not thirst, does not cough, and does not fall off the peak of the Brahman’s hat,” he said. “Now… his uncle’s image is Brahman, but his actions and events are not in harmony with the actions and events of the real Brahman, they are too different.” The friends who were listening seemed to like what he was saying. He continued…

 

The great Chinese thinker Confucius spoke again about the "Rectification of Names" concept. Confucius said, "May a prince be a prince, a noble be a noble, a father be a father, and a son be a son." Confucius' words mean that one should act according to one's "name," and he spoke at length about the great implications of these words. After saying this, he ... A great man

He continued talking about stealing corn.

The story he told about the old man is a little different from what we usually hear. The story he told about the old man is this... One day, a old man went into a cornfield and stole corn without the owner knowing. When he came back and looked at the corn to boil and bake, he saw that it was all corn without seeds. So this old man went to the cornfield owner and said, "Dayaka... the corn in the cornfield is not good. You are... a man who only does corn sowing, but you don't really want to do anything like weeding, digging, or expanding the plants. You are not a good farmer or corn farmer." The old man was dissatisfied because the corn he stole was found to be without seeds, and he blamed the corn farmer...

 

“When the owner of the cornfield spoke like this, he said, ‘I planted as much as I could. If the soil is bad, where will good seeds grow?’” he said, blaming the earth. In the words of a story from a country near our house, the owner of the cornfield blamed the earth god. Hearing this accusation, the earth…

The Earth God replied, “Don’t come and blame the earth, it’s not the way it rains, how can the earth be good if it doesn’t rain regularly?” He blamed the rain. He blamed the rain god. The rain god also blamed the rain god. The rain god replied, “The king who rules the country is not good, how can he make the rain fall regularly?” The rain god said this, and the old man went to the king’s palace. He asked the king for permission. The king asked his fellow princes to investigate why the old man had asked to see him. The old man said that the corn he had stolen had not been planted successfully because of the poor work of the corn farmer, and he asked the king for permission to come to him. The old man said that he had come to the king to find fault with the old man. The king allowed the old man to come to him.

 

When the monk came before the king, he said, “Oh... the king of the sea, the king of the sea is the two worldly virtues, the three courage, the four physical virtues, the five strength, the six chieftaincy virtues, the seven aprihaniya virtues, the eight royal virtues, the nine navarats, and the ten royal virtues. It is because you, the king, do not practice these virtues that the rain does not fall well.” He accused the king of not seeking good rain. At this time, the king, who knew about the monk, said,

"Your Majesty... Don't blame my King. You... Grandpa is a grandpa, but you can't do the same job as Grandpa, and you can't do the same job as yourself."

"Rethink it," he said. The old man heard the king's words and quickly left the palace. He must have realized his sin of stealing corn and quickly apologized in shame and left the palace.

A monk is called a monk because he is the one who guards against the five karmas of stealing, lying, killing, etc. If a monk who is supposed to guard against these five karmas steals, what will happen to others? Just think about how wrong the "name and "action" of "monk" are. If there are many wrong images and actions, names and actions in a society, that society will definitely be difficult to develop, he said. He also gave examples one after another. Everyone seemed interested in what he said.

 

As I listened to what he said above, I remembered the words in the Dhammapada: “You should practice the same way you would discipline others. Only after you have disciplined yourself should you discipline others. It is very difficult to discipline yourself without discipline.” I also thought about how difficult it is to practice what you preach to others.

While listening to the person above speak, I was really complaining in my heart that it is so difficult to live life in a way that truly harmonizes form and function.

A good partner.. 

Even the word "suffering" is ugly and ugly in appearance.

The sound of "suffering" is not pleasant to the ear, so no one hears it. The experience of "suffering" is not something that people want to see, encounter, or encounter, so they run away from suffering.

However, there is something to be grateful for in adversity.

"Sadness" often points out one's weaknesses, shortcomings, weaknesses, and shortcomings without any pretense. It does not keep quiet like those who do not want their own benefit or do not want to suffer their own suffering. It does not behave in a polite manner, and it does not behave in a polite manner. Sadness often points out the truth as it is.

When they overcome their weaknesses and weaknesses and become successful, they become grateful to the devil. In fact, the devil seems to have accepted the saying, "A person who can clearly point out your shortcomings is a good friend for life."

Adversity brings out the hidden potential in human beings and awakens the dormant mind. Adversity also distinguishes between good and bad people. Adversity creates obstacles as benchmarks that can be used to test whether a person is good or bad. It is said that when faced with difficulties and dangers, some people buy crutches to support themselves, while others grow wings. This means that when faced with difficulties and dangers, some people fail and are destroyed due to weakness of spirit and lack of courage, with hopes shattered and destroyed.

 

This is what is meant by buying crutches. It is said. Some people are strong in the face of difficulties and dangers. They have the ability to overcome difficulties. This is what is meant by... Some people grow wings. Yes. Difficulties and sufferings always equip the strong-minded, intelligent and visionary with “wings of strength” that can fly to success.

Human beings are those who want to unleash their potential when they encounter difficulties and problems. Therefore, the regret that will come in the future is that it has secretly entered the realm of human beings, who are said to be the highest level in the world of beings, through the doors of laziness, laziness, and a desire to live simply.

However, "suffering" will judge a person's personality and mental strength by the touchstone of perseverance. It will choose the brave one by putting him in the circle of life and competing with the opponent of difficulties. Even those who cannot be crowned with success in the circle of life will not be favored with compassion and love. Because they are so cruel and harsh, they thought that suffering was ugly.

Because they have competed with difficulties in the arena of life, on the one hand, and because their strength has been repeatedly marked on the stone of perseverance and courage, on the other hand... Famous people who have achieved success have understood the meaning of suffering. One observer said, “Lincoln was subjected to various tests of adversity. But... his strength was determined by courage.
