Sagaing U Bo Thin - The World and Humanity

Introduction

I (myself and my husband are very different) suggested that his views and thoughts be written in volumes eleven and twelve. That idea was rejected. The point is this.

I haven't been able to eat or drink for about twenty days, and the people who come to me at night are talking to each other in a low voice, laughing and talking like this, to the point of being annoying.

A man will come to the market as soon as it opens and arrest you. Go and sell your palm oil, beans, rice, etc. at the market. He will give you money immediately, he said kindly.

The thieves in the light turned their backs on the speaker and remained silent.

When it was quite high, the hunters came to the market and seized the turmeric powder, a little rice, and the rice that was left. However, since the smugglers outnumbered the hunters, they secretly taunted them, and the local bloodsuckers took it. Both the hunters and the sellers were busy with the thieves, as if they were watching a good movie.

When they were caught and taken to the police station, they were even taken by horse-drawn cart and hidden on the road. It seems that they only received one and a half baskets, two to one-fisted baskets.

Some even returned after going to the police station, stealing some items, such as red cloth, that had already been confiscated at the police station, and even saying that they had made a profit.

In such a chaotic situation, I didn't want to listen, so I intervened and asked why people buy smuggled goods. If they support smugglers, when will the smuggling trend disappear? They said that if they don't buy from smugglers, it will be difficult to eat.

Can I buy turmeric powder and chili powder at the government shop? Can I buy beans, rice, etc.? They sell onions only when they are rotten... and then sell them, dried fish only when they are almost rotten, they don't sell oil when it is still there, and they sell soap at a discount when it is not rotten, etc. They say it's too much to listen to, and I have to scold the people who come and ask me. | I have already played with my mind that night.

I never thought that our country would hear such unpleasant news after independence. I fell asleep wondering if I had been wrong to capture and send away my comrades who were hiding in the forest when the Karen rebels came to Sagaing.

The next morning, when I was able to eat and drink a little, I thought about this.

Is the world a difficult place? “The dog is a snake, the river is a snake, the mango tree is a snake, the fruit is sweet,” I thought of the teacher teaching me this when I was young, while studying the nine chapters of the Fourth Dhamma.

A king was playing in the water when he found a large mango the size of a large pot floating down the river.

The king, after questioning the wise men, learned that it was a mango, and he gave it to the chief butler to eat. The chief butler, after tasting it, said that it was so delicious that it spread through his body to the five corners of his mouth.

The king gave the mango to himself, his courtiers, and the nobles, all of whom unanimously praised its exquisite taste. He named it the Eighth Mango, and ordered the gardener to cultivate it and take good care of it.

You might think that every person in the world lives peacefully alone. It might be tempting to ask, "Is there no such thing as a solitary person?" Perhaps there is, but it would be rare.

Usually, people do not want to be alone, but they go to others who are in harmony with them and agree with them. Others come to them and associate with them. This leads to living together and mixing with each other. This is what those who want to deceive the world by saying that they are truly wise say, in words that ordinary people cannot understand, such as the nature of the universe, the nature of nature.

In fact, people live in a chain of relationships, whether they are mutually exclusive in their relationships, mutually exclusive in their relationships, or simply in a mixed relationship with each other.

In this sense, people say that there is fire and water in the world. In reality, this is a sense that arises through actions.

Therefore, as the venerable Maharatthasara wrote in the ninth chapter of the Satudhammasara, “The dog is a river, the seer is a prophet, the mango tree is a king, the fruit is sweet,” I will briefly describe the story in accordance with the teachings of the teacher.

The king ordered the gardener to plant mango seeds, and thanks to the gardener's skill, they bore fruit well in three years, producing a delicious and fragrant fruit.

The king, being a very generous king, sent gifts to the other kings of the kingdom, as was his custom. But those kings and nobles were dishonest.

Because the nobles were not sincere in this, they sent the dangerous mangoes to other kings and nobles without any seeds. After two or three years, such behavior was discovered by other countries who were able to discern.

Indeed, that is a natural tendency that arises in people. I am not saying that everyone has that tendency, but it is a delusion that many people with good hearts do not have the right attitude. There are very few times in which the world (or the human world) is perfect.

In this modern era, new weapons that can kill people without warning and destroy the world without warning are being secretly developed and planned so that other countries cannot know about them. The atomic bomb, the hydrogen bomb, etc. are also being developed in the same way, so that other countries cannot know about them. Such attitudes clearly indicate that they have an unrighteous heart.

If the world is brave enough to trust a country that is not white and upright, then it must consider whether it is willing to follow its own path.)

If a country tries to prevent the spread of the seeds of the Abantara mango, other countries will also try to destroy the Attantaara mango tree. This is the nature of the world's chain.

A gardener came to the king, the owner of the eighth mango tree, and told him that he could make the mangoes bloom for twelve seasons at any time. Therefore, the king appointed him to work with the old gardener.

The new gardener was skilled and a good companion. As he had expected, the Abhantarasa tree blossomed and bore fruit for twelve seasons. The king was particularly pleased and bestowed special honors on the new gardener.

The new gardener was so clever and skilled that he bribed the old gardener and made friends with him, and the old gardener obeyed and acted according to the new gardener's wishes.

(The bribes of a skilled person in the world can be fulfilled according to his will over people.)

The gardener planted many dogwood trees near and far from the mango tree, so that the dogwood roots intertwined with the mango tree's roots. When he had accomplished his plan, he was about to leave without realizing it.

When the Antara mango tree bears fruit, it no longer tastes sweet but rather tastes bitter. Those who eat the fruit become dehydrated, and the Antara mango tree is now in decline.

With this in mind, as the proverb goes, "The dog is entangled in the river, the tree is in the forest, the mango tree is in the forest, the fruit is in the forest." Our men, remembering that the dog is entangled in the river, decided to write his views and thoughts up to the twelfth volume, and then stopped writing and stopped writing, thinking that he would continue writing about the nature of nature while he was ill.

Then a sow came and asked, “Where is your brother?” He said, “He is sleeping on the roof of the house.” The sow laughed and said, “Your brother’s sow is also sleeping.” I told him to tell the sow.

I talked to the old man about the matter, and he insisted that I write about it, so I started writing about this “world of humanity.”

Readers should be especially aware that the human realm is like a railway station, a central intersection in the world. In general, only the human realm can reach its destination and the journey it is supposed to take.
